In Matter of Samuel Bush of New
 Hnver, Bankrupt.

On June ', 1903, Samuel Bush of New Haven filed a petition in bankruptcy, and on July 8 he applied for a dis charge from bankruptcy. Creditors subsequently alleged that the bankrupt had concealed a desk and other proper | ty. assets of his estate The following memorandum in the matter was filed by Judge Platt in the United States district court. Tuesday.
 1T am sorry that the attorney for the
 bankrupt did not thresh out with the referee in the day and time of it, the questions which bristle around and
 about the order for the production of desk and book. However, upon exam ination Of the entire record, am con- vinced that no useful purpose can be served by a proiongation of the conten- | tion in that respect.
 "It is not a satisfactory record, but more words about it would only 'darken' counsel. There is nothing, then, which | by its inherent and intrinsic force, fur nishes any reason for refusing a dis charge. The day for filing opposing specifications long ago passed away, and I am constrained to follow the ad- | vice contained in the report of the ref cree as special master, and grant the discharge.

About to Pass without Discussion
 When Senate change. Tactics.

Washington, Feb. 3.-After almost all lowing the amendment to the urgent deficiency appropriation bill providing for 8 loan of $4,6O0,OOO to the St. Louis exposition to go through, without any discussion whatever. the Senate to-day changed it's tactics just as the vote was about to be taken and began a de- bate on the loan provision which con- tinued for about four hours and was still in progress when the Senate ad- journed for the day.
 The debate was preeipitated by a point of order made(against the amend ment by MT. Bailey. who maintained that the national government was not as such, concerned with the success or failure of any exposition. He was sup ported by Mr Lodge and MT. Elkins, while speeches were made in support of the amendment by Messrs. Hale, Al- lison, CockrelI, Spooner, McComas and others. The debate took political turn at one time. MT German took ad- vantage of a declaration that the con- dition of the treasury was such as to render it unwise to enter upon this ex- penditure to charge the party in power with n1isrnana cement. MT. Spooner re- piled in defense of the administration. The debate throughout was spirited, but good nautredL and the galleries were well entertained

 Chicago, Feb. 3.-Members of the Uni versity of Chicago faculty may criti- else at will, favorably or otherwise, the actions of John D. Rockefeller the in stitution's most liberal benefactor without fear of dismissal This an- nouncement was made by President Harper to the senior class at the univer- sity to-day in response to question.
 It was asked by one student. Would any professor be dismissed for criticis- ing John D. Rockefeller in relation to the Standard Oil company and public affairs?"
 President Harper replied: '"The mem- bers of the faculty have a right to say as they please. The university stands for free, speech. No professor has ever been dismissed for exprssing his opin- ion on any subject. When Dr. Won Hoist was here the university received numerous letters from all parts of the country insisting on his dismissal, ac- cusing him of uttering seditious senti- ments. At that time the university is- sued statement that every man was entitled to free speech. The university is above such things as interfering with mans right of speech.

DR. SCRIPTURE SEES KAISER
YALE PROFESSOR SECURES
 RECORD OF HIS VOICE.
Taken by Means of Phonosraph nna wnI Comprise First Deposlt in Pho netlo Archives to be Established In This counsry-Empsror Very Mnci. Interested.

Berlin, Feb. S.-A photographic record of Emperor Williams voice. on metal matrices, will be the first deposit made in the phonetic archieves that are to be kept at Harvard university, and in the Congressional library and the National museum at Washington. The emperor upon the application of pr. Edward w. Scripture. the psychologist of Yale urI- versity, through tho United States am- bassaGor here. has given two examples of his voice for permanent preservation.
 Dr. Scripture. in a memorandum on the subject submitted in advance to the court martial, describing the meaning of his request, said:
 ..The phonetic archives are to include records from such persons as will pre- sumably have permanent historical in- terest in America. The importance of the undertaking can be estimated by considering what would have been the present status Of voice records of De- mosthenes, Shakespeare or Emperor William the Great. An advisory com- mittee of prominent Americans has pre- pared a list of ten living Americans of the first historical importance whose voices will be preserved. I wish to re- cord his majesty's voice as the f1rse Ea- ropean record deposited in the arch- ives''
 The emperor received Dr. Scripture after the morning church service on Sunday. During the making of the rec- ord hie rnaiesfy was alona win ina phonograph. He spoke twice into the, apparatus. The first cylinder made specially sor Harvard university con- tained observations on Frederick tho Great. The other was short disquisi- tion on 'Fortitude in Pain.
 The emperor's manner was kind, and he showed interest in the matter.
 These archives os voices are said to be the first instituted for historical purposes.

HANNA SUFFERS A SETBACK
FAMILY MUCH ALARMED YES-
 TERDAY AFTERNOON.
serious congsstive Attack Only Averted by Prompt Aotion-RaiIiea During Evening but Was Not So We'll as Earlier In Day-Dr. Rixsy Declares There is No Need for Alarm.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Senator M. A. Hanna had a setback late this after noon which for a time considerably alarmed his family, who had been en- couraged to hope he was getting to be himself again. but the congestive attack Ithey feared was averted to some ex- tent by prompt action and tonight the senator while not so well as early in the day, showed excellent rallying power and improvement over his con- dition at sundown.
 The setback came in the form of an attack that resembled sick spells that have seized the senator on two or three occasions in the past few years. He
 was seized about. 5:3O o'clock ths after moon with a congestlve chill which heretofore has been marked by a rush of blood to the head and coldness of the extremities. Members of the family were on hand at it's first outbreak and by the prompt application of mustard plasters and hot water the attack was prevented from becoming so serious as 1 it was feared it might become and later l in the evening it was said that the sen ator's condition was again almost at his normal state of the past few weeks. l Dr. Rixey called in Dr. Magruder, and when they left MT. Hanna's home lat o'clock the senator was sleeping lsoundly and the physicians said they did not expect to return again until g o'clock tomorrow morning. At that ltime the senator's pulse was 76, his normal pulse being 72, and his tempera- l ture 100 or 1 6-10 above normal. The doctors said they thought his tempera- i iture would he normal again in the morning. A thorough examination was
 made of MT. Hannas heart, lungs and
 kidneys and they were found to be all fright. Dr. Rixey tonight said:
 ! Senator Hanna's condition is not alarming and I hope he will be out in
 a week or ten days"
 l The illness of the senator is due tc physical and nervous exhastion, caused
 by an attack of grip and by overwork l At the request of Mrs. Hanna, Dr. l Brewer, the New York physician who has attended the same members of his
 family at intermittent periods for the lpast twenty-five years, has been re-
 quested to come to Washington to con suit with the other physicians.

BITTER DEBATE IN HOUSE
INDIANA AND KENTUCKY RE-
 YIEW EACH OTHERS GRIMES.
Latter Demands Return of Ex-Governor Taylor for Assassination of Goebel- Representative James Dubs Roosevelt a Don Quixote and Attacks Him for Whining and Dining Governor Dur ban of Indiana.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Indiana and Kentucky locked horns in the house to- day. The debate, which involved near ly every member of both state delega- tions. was fast and furious from start to finish. Kentucky demanded of h.
 diana the return of W. s. Taylor that
 he might be tried for the assassination of William Goebel. The attack was made by MT. James, of Kentucky, and
 the defense was led by Nil. Crumpack- CT, Of Indiana Partisan feeling rose to an extreme tension. The diplomatic
 appropriation bill was under consider
 alton at the time.
 Mr. James fired both sides of the
 house to interest and feeling by de-
 claring at the outset that the rough
 rider president" was ridiculous in his
 message to congress favoring interna-
 tional extradition treaties, when one
 state could not get from another fugi-
 tives from justice. He had, he said, in
 troduced a bill in which. the federal
 government made extradition compul-
 sorry where persons had been indicted
 for crime. For four years, he said,
 Governor Durbin, of Indiana, had pro tected Taylor, who had been regularly
 indicted in Kentucky for the murder of
 Goebel, "and yet I notice that when Durbin comes to town" continued MT.
 James, he is wined and dined by this
 great Don Quixote upon extradition
 who absolutely confides to Durbin the
 right to give the waiting and anxious
 world the news that Hanna can run for president if he wants to, and when we all read that we again declare that the king can do no wrong"
 These remarks met democratic ap- plause and laughter. but stirred the op- position to action, and for something like two hours many members were
 on their feet at time and the criminal and political records of both Kentucky and Indiana were handled without gloves. The democrats maintained that a state governor had no right to take the question of fair trial'' into consid- eration in honoring extradition papers from another state, while the republi- cans maintained that history would justify Indiana's action in this case. When MT. Crumpacker took the floor in defense of Indiana he was beset by a volley of questions from the democratic side and was hardly able to maintain the thread of his argument on account of interruptions.
 The tension was lessened and better nature restored by the interposition of a speech on the reorganization of the consular service by MT. Adams, of
 Pennsylvania, but it afterwards broke
 out again under the lead of MT. Stan | ley, of Kentucky, only to be again quelled by a speech against Canadian reciprocity by MT. yolstead, of Mime sota.
 The session was concluded at 5o'clocls 1 by a ten-minute appeal by MT. Harri- son, of New York, for equal treatment I of American citizens abroad, especially | for American Hebrews in Russia.

 London, Feb. 3.-'For the Irish party there is no such thing as an alternative policy to home rule" declared John Redmond, the leader of the Irish par liamentary party, in the House of Commons to-day, as he resumed the debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne. Mr. Redmond proceeded, in a speech of great length, to recount the various grievances of Ireland, incidentally informing the lib- erals that it was q delusion to suppose they could count on Irish support by promising an alternative policy to home rule. Because the Irish obtained valuable act last year remedying some of the evils of past government some persons seemed to think that the Irish question was shelved; but no con- cession could weaken the demand for self government. On the contrary, every concession they had obtained or might obtain would be used for the furtherance of the contest for home rule. The Irish would rather govern themselves badly than be governed well by another nation.
 MT. Redmond bitterly attacked the governments attitude on education in Ireland, describing it as grossly absurd and irreparably harmful to the youth of Ireland. The governments course on the Irish university question, he added, was a dishonest evasion of an admitted duty, and a grievance which poisoned the life of Ireland and con- demned her to failure in the struggle of nations. The government had play ! ~
