FAKE" REPORT ON WOOD
Made BY An ENEMY.
Scott and Blackburn DisaOO10 ~
legged Minority Statement.
FROM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.I

Washington Jan 6.-Senators Scott anu
Blackburn, the members of the Military al
fairs Committee who voted against 'he '0
frmatton Of Leonard Wood as a major general
entirely disclaim the alleged minority fepoi'
credited to them yvh:cH appeared in this morn
fngs papers. Senator Scott says that he never
heard Of the report until 1t appeared IN PRINT
this morning. and ascribes It's authorship 10 ohe
Of General Woods most active enemies man
who appeared as a witness before the commit
tee and whom General Wood While Governor -
Cuba was compelled to treat with consiueraoie
severity because of the mans improper oo"-
duct.
Senator Scott SAYS that the minority, consist
ing of himself and Senator Blackburn nav "
gagged an attorney, and expect to present ~ 80
time and in proper FORM their reasons lo' 80
against a favorable report on Generdi VIZ
nomination. but if their attorney has prepared
such a statement they have not yet seen -
are they aware that 1t is completed.
Tho ranort q summary of which was sent out
from Washington this morning. has not oeen
made to the Senate. and it is inti1nateu tiial
when the minority does file its report II VIII Oe
Of an entirely different character
1t is said by members Of the haJori'y ia
is hardly surprising that the CONSISTENT
TO becloud the issue and deceive the puoii''
which have been so persistently made throuShou'
the Wood hearings, should De PeiPe'uO "
this form.
There are a number Of enemies OF HeLe1"'
Wood now in Washington who are driven 10
evaporation by their failure to make valid
case against that officer and they are naturally
crasping at any straw which may further their
purpose. -.
The fact that the hearings and the reports are
executive proceedings, from which the injunction
of secrecy has not been removed renders IL I'M
possible for the press 10 obtain ofcial lnIoflha-
ton, and paves the way for the deceptIoh anu
falsifcatjon which have characterized most Of
the newspaper reports on the subject.
There is In the opinion of leading Senators on
both sides or the chamber. no doubt regarding
the confirmation of General Wood. The high
character and marked ability Of Senators Cock
rell and Pcttus. the Democratic signers or the
ma jority report, will insure affirmative votes
from a large portion of the Democrats when the
question of confirmation comes before the Sen
ate, and nothing but limited delay can hence
forth be accomplished by the opponents Of Cen
eral Woods promotion.

announced IN these dispatches. he had prepared
last month. IN expectation OF the passage OF the

The President, in stating the reasons for his

vice and that the government would be culpa-
bic in taking the money OF the people for the

the end AT which the lottery aimed.

events there will be Httle time for any discus
sion OF such action. Congress intends to ae-
journ this week until March next.
The House OF Representatives to-day passed
the Senate amendments to the Loan law, and
then resolved 10 adjourn tomorrow until after
the February elections. in order that the mem
bers may take part In the registration. which
begins next week.
The Senate. however is inclined TO insist that
the sessions shall continue until the HOUSE,
agrees to some sort of tariff measure. The SEN

AS To CATTCTTS RIFLE


AS TO CAUCUS RULE.
Mr. Teller arraigned Mr. Lodge for the state
ment that the Republicans were responsible for
the government by saying that he wanted to
place his caveat on the boast that the Repub-
lican caucus would do the business for the
Senate
Mr.. spooner denied that the Republicans had
a caucus.
MI Teller said that perhaps it merely
that the Republicans had a leader so suave and
persuasive that he was able to control the Re
publican votes and he was responsible for the
solid front offered by the Republicans in the
vote the Cuban bill
Mr. Spooner wanted to know If the Democrats
who voted for the Cuban bill were controlled by
the Republicans. and Mr.. Teller answered that
the Democrats divided according 10 their
individual beliefs.
Mr. Spooner said that Republican caucuses do
not bind the cOnscienCeS of Republicans any
more now than they did when Mr.. Teller was
a member Of that party. The duty of Senators
was 10 serve the interests Of the whole coun-
try and for himself ne would not consent to
hold a seat in the Senate If he was TO be con-
troled by others. 1t was not true. he continued.
that the Republican Senators were massed as
one man on all questions. and he hoped the time
would never come when either party in the
Senate would be so bound.
Mr.. Teller recalled that Ir. SpoOner had cast
many Independent votes. but he thought that in
late years there had been growing tendency
on the Republican side Of the chamber to con-
solidate. He spoke of the duty of Senators to
act in accordance with their own convictions,
when Mr.. Burton interrupted him to ask If he
had reference 10 the recent decision of the
Democratic caucus for party sOldity on ques-
lions coming before the Senate.
Mr.. Teller replied by saying that personally
he knew nothing of such n conclusion. Il do
know this. however" he said that While 1 sat
on the Republican side of this chamber I never
yielded my persona! judgment 10 n majority.
and never expect to do so. so long as 1 sit
here
An agreement was reached to postpone fur
Their discussion of the subject until Friday next,
and the Senate adjourned.

the country by the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The statement says in
part:
This proposition the Employers as,
socation denounces as anarchistic 1t
would legalize crime, they assert, and
exempt labor unions from the penalties
attached to rioting and disorderly con
duct.
We have not seen a single intelH.
gent objection to the bill lnvective,
epithcts and wild assertion take the
place of argument These professed
champions of liberty and Americanism
do not know the meaning of the terms
they are so fond OF HSlng. They de-
pend upon appeals "a class bigotry and
class prejudice
The bill world change the old law
Of conspiracy That law should be
changeoc 1t i, out Of place in modern
Jurisprudence. There was time when
agreements TO ask nlSAer wages anu
agreements to cease work-strike-w ere
