ARGUING SHOOT CASE.
Judge TayEer Contends That the
Senator Should Be UnSeGted.

yrssbinuton Ian 2e-Arguments in the smoot
investigation were begun to-day. Judge X W.
Tayler Of Ohio. who has conducted the case lot
the protestants. opened and tomorrow the argu-
ments for Senator smoot will be made by A s.
Worthngton, of this city. and Waldemar Van
Cott. of Salt Lake City. II is expected that ex-
Secretary Carlisle will close for the protestants.
Judge Tayler reminded the committee that 1T
had been a year since the investigation began.
He said the question OF morals was not relevant,
and the principal issue involved was one OF gov
ernment and law. lie took the position that a
Senator who did not respect the law he was
charged to make could not be fit to serve in the
highest legislative branch OF the government.
IF thought the facts and history justified 1T.
would not say word against the character Of the
members OF the Mormon hierarchy or Senator
Smoot or any Of his associates" said Judge Tay-
Ter. II do not speak of these because they
laKless but because they are not lawless If IT
were a mere question of law breaking, this case
would not cause a ripple. The country is filled
with law breakers: the jails are filled with them.
It IS because the law they obey is higher than
the law Of the land. When man-nade law comes
into conflict with higher law. Senator smoot
says. he would go to another country. where the
laws OF God and would not conflict. 1
ready to admit the Mormons are not breaking the
laws from a spirit Of lawlessness If they were.
the question would be easy deal with
That the Church, the hierarchy and its members
were placed higher than the law was Judge Tay-
ler's chief contention why Senator Smoot should
be unseated. He said that because the Church
ceved revelations. the hierarchy being in immedi-
ate contact with God the Church was placed above
the law of the land.
! In closing Judge Tayler said:
A grave question is yours to answer. Reed Smoot
| himself is but a trivial incident in the mighty
| problem 1t is the problem OF government; the
institutional question whether the law caprice
shall govern people who know ruler but the
law, and safe rule but respect for law. Sena-
tor from the State Of Utah is Senator OF the
United States He legislates for eighty million peo-
pie. who hold their most cherished possession

TO RENEW osAGE OIL LAND LEASE.
Senator Penroses Amendment to the Indian
Appropriation Bill
lFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.

Washington Jan. 26.-To compel the Secretary
of the Interior TO renew the lease given by the
Usage Indians 10 the Indian Territory Illuminating
Company on existing terms for a period of ten
years is the purpose Of an amendment to the
Indian Appropriation bill introduced by Senator
Penrose. The details of this lease were given in
these dispatches to The Tribune OF January 25 in
which It shown that the company named com
monty called the parent company" had enjoyed
the benefit of blanket lease TO approximately one
million acres OF land belonging the Usage Ind
ians since 1856, and had Subet its privileges at a
large profit. The sub-lessees pay bonuses in the
neiEhborhood of 40 cents an acre and approximate
ly three cents on each barrel of oil taken out
From one sub-lessee alone. the firm of Guffey &
royalties amounting to Sl25,000.
Mr.. PenrOSe's amendment will be on
some Senators who have investigated the subject
II Is held that the extension of the lease is an
administrative matter, and should be left to the
discretion OF the Secretary OF the Interior who will
make the best terms possible for the Indians. 1t
is admitted that the parent company expended a
considerable sum in exploiting the oil lands but II
is argued that IL has been handsomely recompensed
by the profits already collected. and that no reason
can be advanced for continuing an arrangemen.

SIX JUDGES ACCUSED.
Charges Like Those in Sscayne Case
-Impeachment Nag Fail.
fFRosI TIE TRrBUNE BUREAU.J ]

Washington. Jan. 26-Complaints rejecting
the Official conduct OF at least six United
States judges have been received by the House
judiciary Committee since the impeachment pro-
ceedings against Judge Swayne demonstrated
the possibility OF a publication OF the bench If
the charges could, be substantiated. While 1t is
generally known that no further action looking
TO the impeachment of federal judges will be
undertaken by the committee until the case Of
Judge Swayne has been decided, this knowledge
apparently proves no restraint on the number
and character cf the accusations constantly ar
irving.
The success Of the critics Of Judge Swayne
resulting in his trial before the bar OF the Sen
ate, has inspired the enemies OF other federal
judges and United States district attorneys to
file charges which they insist shall be brought
70 the attention Of the House. irrespective Of
the merits Of their case or the proof behind
their accusations. In these charges the habit
ual certihcation Of $40 day for travel and
attendance figures conspicUously. but the acts
OF omission and commission on the bench form
the basis OF a majority OF the complaints.
From the nature of the evidence submitted to
the committee, il is clear that ltigants who
have been before the court and fancy them
selves aggrieved because Of the rulings of the
judge or the final adjudication of the case frame
up their charges along the lines which they
counted the court should have proceeded, rather
than by presenting proofs that would stand
legal scrutiny as showing where the Judge
erred IN other words. il is declared that the
charges submitted are IN the nature OF per-
sOnal grievances. and are not sufficiently broad
and comprehensive 10 be OF any use whatever

SENATE PASSES ARMY BILL
General Miles to Get Full Pay When serv-

Washington Jan 2s-The Senate passed the Army
Appropriation bill to-day after modifying the pro-
vision that retired officers Cerving with militia
organizations shall receive the fun pay Of their
grade The effect Of the change is to relieve
General Miles from its application. Mr.. Gallinger
and others criticised the amendment regulating
the sale OF army transports. asserting that the
use OF government vessels forced unfair cOmpet-
ton upon the owners Of private vessels. Mr.. Hale
attacked the operation of the general staff in the
army and said he would oppose any effort to eS-
tablish similar system in the navy.
The amendment requiring the consent OF Congress
for the sale OF army transports was agreed to- as
was also the amendment striking out the House
provision prohibiting the Of private vessels in
the transportation of government supplies to the
