German Resolution Laid
On Table by Party Vote
Senator Teller Tries to Accomplish Similar
End by Amendment to the POStOffiCe Ap-
DrODriatiOn BilI---The PenrOSe Motion.

This aroused Mr.. Prurose to reply.
denying there had ever been any action
or the resolution by the Senate Post
office Committee. MT. Teller replied that
the official record showed otherwise.
Mr.. Peurose said: Il have never stated
I'm this Senate that there was any neces-
sity for an investigation. I thought sucn
a resolution might put a stop u this
flood Of OratOry on the floor Of the Sen
ate. That il was or is necessary ] have
never thought and have never stated.
have always voted for this resolution
and shall continue TO do So.
Mr. Teller said the Republicans on
that committee had voted down the res
uIuti0n every time Never In the history
OF the Senate. he declared, has such a
situation existed. when the chairman Of
a committee was voted down by his own
colleagues.
The bin was then put TO vote ana
passed by the Senate.
Mr.. Teller. OF Colorado. IN the Senate
today. offered an amendment to the
postofice appropriation bill for the ap-
pointment Is q commission OF five Sena-
tors TO investigate the Postofice De-
paTtment
Like the German resolution il was de-
feated by party vote, 81 10 j., and
laid on the table.
The Washington times., 1904-04-12

The debate upon the German resolu-
ton for the appointment Of commits
sion to investigate the Postoitice De
partment. which was interrupted by ad-
fournment late yesterday afternoon, was
resumed i'm the Senate this afternoon on
the conclusion of the morning business.
The German resolution was brought
IN a vote and ordered laid on the table
bv strict party vote OF 40 to 10.
President pro TEN Frye then announc-
ed that If there were no further amend
ments the bill would be put on is
passage.
Mr. Teller rose and said ne had an
amendment to offer. Its purpOrt was
TO order an investigation of the laws
OF the United States by "a commission
of FIVE Senators. to go into the conduct
Of the POstofice Department. etc. It
covered practically the same ground as
the German resolution but in man
uer calculated TO meet the objections
Of the Republican side
Mr. Teller said there had been many
instances in the time he had been ia
public life when il had not been re-
garded necessary to put ones finger on
every instance Of alleged fraud befoI,
an Investigation could be had
Mr.. Aldrich replied that there had
never been an investigation except when
charges had been specifically made Mr.
Teller took exception TO the statement.
My word is as good as the Senator'S
he declared.
"Oh. that's all right" reioined Mr.
AIdrich, and Mr. Teller proceeded. He
said il was sufficiently serious that the
public press had stated that more than
100 Senators anG Representatives had
been caught in BristoWs trap" He
thought there was ample heason for
ordering an investigation, and charged
the Republicans with being atriad To do
so because of its effect on the coming
election.
Mr. Mallory brought into the debate
the Pcurose resolution Of last December
for an Investigation by the Senate Com
mittee on Postofiice and Post Roa6s.

There was a decided difference in the
appearance OF James NJ A. Watson
wren he entered Criminal Court, No. /.
this morning. al the beginning Of the
second day Of his trial for embezzle
nlent. He seemed today 10 fully realize
the seriousness of the accusation made
against him. and when he took his
ceat his brow was furrowed. and = look
o. anxiety 0verspread his face.
He was joined by his wife soon after,
and then he seemed 20 brighten UP and
enteFe6 into an animated whispered
conversation with her. Mrs " atson
was at the City Han early. arriving
there about $3.50 O'Clock. She entered
through the west door and went direct
y TO the cell in the basement OF the
building where she met her husband.
A minute after Watson entered the
courtroom. coming up the stairway
which leads from the prison cell. Mrs.
Watson entered by the door leading
from the cor~idor in the east side Of the
building. She was dressed as she was
yesterday. in deep black.
Interest in Trial.
Interest in the trial was shown by the
size of the crowd whicn was present
st the opening Of the court. and the
close attention paid the proceedings. It
IS seldom that so large a gathering
maintains such quiet as did the specJa-
tors who attended the trial today
That hard legal fight is on may be
guessed by the array Of prominent coun-
sci which have been retained for the
accused and the Government The
latter is represented by Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys Hugh T. Taggart,
Charles II. Turner. and Peyton Cor
don. while Messrs. A. S. Worthington,
Wilton J. Lambert. D. w Baker. and
Stuart Mcnamara represent Watson.
Justice Prltchard was on the bench
promptly at 10 O'Clock and the work OF
6mpaneling a special jury was resumed
ard quickly concluded.
There was no delay In proceeding with
the hearing Of testimony. The number
Of spectators was greatly iucrea sed
about this time. Their entrance made
some little disturbance. and Justice
Pritchard ordered quiet. The first wit
ness was then called 10 testify in be-
half OF the Government.
Three Witnesses Called.
only three witnesses were called 10 the
witness stand at the morning session OF
Jha court Their testimony was Of a
dsy nature. Nevertheless every word
was listened 10 with the greatest atteu-

larly true Of the evidence given by
James r. Petty, who was auditor for
