II would not accept the office Of

Says Presidents Foot
Is Down Throat Of
Wall Street,
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, Jan. 11.-Thomas w Law
son issued the following statement to-
day under the caption Wall Streets
Mouth and Washington's Foot:
The wider Wall street opens its
mouth the further down the President
rams his foot. The able Senator from
Rhode Island is, as every one knows,
a partner by marriage to John D.
Rockefeller his daughter having mar
ried young Johnnie d. Therefore the
talented Senator from the little State
is the constructive partner of John d.
He went to Washington for a sit
down with the President That was
sufficient for Wall street. The President
was harnessed, muzzled and shackled,
so far as the tariff was concerned, and,
consequently, shackled muzzled and
harnessed in regard to all other Wall
street affairs. Poor Wall street, It's
not only the joke of the civilized world,
but it's rapidly monopolizing tear
drools as well.
Il herewith call attention to the fact
that while fguratively our President
only has one foot down Wall streets
throat, he will have both buried out of
sight there shortly.

the fact of both the Presidents feet be-
ing down its windpipe as a bull point.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Though Pres
ident Roosevelt has yielded to the Re-
publican leaders of Congress on the
tariff question and there will be no re-
vision in the immediate future. he to-
day took decided attitude upon two
other questions and threw down the
gage Of battle to those who care TO take
it up. President Roosevelt has de-
clared unequivocally that there must
be legislation increasing the powers OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission =
if not at this session, he will summon
an extraordinary session. He also
caused it to be understood that if any
attempt were made 90 alter the pro-
posed arbitration treaties now pending
in the Senate they would be withdrawn.
Leaders in the Senate were told plainly
that the President desired the ratifica-
ton of the treaties, and without the
slightest alteration.
1t can be said that the President re-
CARDS the interstate commerce question
as the paramount subject now before
the American people. At the confer
CllSC last odldIOdy HC llilOilllCu tlioSC
whom he had summoned into consulta-
tion that in his Judgment the question
of railroad freight rates was far more
important than that of the tariff, and
that while he desired readjustment
of the existing customs duties he would
not permit any radical differences in
Ne Republican party on that question.
He said definitely that he would call an
extra session of Congress to consider
interstate commerce legislation unless
definite action was taken by Congress
at the present session. The interstate
commerce question involved a principle
dear to every right thinking and right
minded American, precisely as the
whole matter of dealing with corpora
tions involved principle, and he would
fight for that principle with all the
power that he possessed.
At the same conference the President
informed the Senator'S that he desired
the arbitration treaties to be ratified.
The treaties now pending We're nego-
tiated by Secretary Hay with the rep
resentatives of the powers, and all of
them We're signed in Washington.
The conventions entered into were
Il
Italy. Portugal, Switzerland, Spain and
Austria Hungary. The President and
Secretary Hay felt in negotiating the
treaties that a lcng step toward uni
yersal arbitration and consequently
universal peace had been taken. Both
have expressed surprise that an atti-
tude inimical to the conventions should
have been assumed by some of the
Senators.
The President has impressed upon
members cf Congress particularly of the
Senate. that he regards the arbitration
treaties and a formidable navy as the
best assurance of peace the United
States possibly could have.
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations to-day continued considera-
tion of the arbitration treaties.

TALE OF A PURCHASED
SENATORSHIP is DENIED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Senator
Knox and Senator Penrose of Penn
sylvania unite in saying there is no
truth in the story that the election of
Knox to the Senate was bought by
friends, who paid $500,000 in notes
against Senator Quay, Senator Pierce
and other Pennsylvania State leaders,
held by the late S. w. Oliver of Pitts
burg.
The story is absurd and untrue y
said Senator Penrose. There never
were any notes like those mentioned
or any other kind of notes. Senator
Knox holds his seat without taint of
any kind. 1t is all lie.'
Senator Knox said: THE story is
untrue in every detail
George T. Oliver, brother and ex-
ecutor of Henry w. Oliver. says the

BRODiE DUKES
COLD At STAKE
Relatives and Bride Begin
What Promises to Be
a Long Legal Battle
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Brodie l.
Dukes incarceration in santa
rum at Flushing, Long Island, has
involved eight lawyers, representing
three interests, in what promises to be
long legal wrangle. In addition to
these, two members of District Attor-
ney Jeromes staff are paving the way
for criminal proceedings against those
who are believed to have made Duke
the victim of conspiracy.
By permission of the State Lunacy
Commission. Duke was to have been
removed to-day from the sanitarium
to the asylum at Amityville. This
transfer was prevented by the serving
of a writ of habeas corpus issued by
Judge Gaynor, which calls for the pro-
duction of Duke before Judge Gaynor
at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning.
This was the first step taken in the
legal battle by the opponents Of the
Duke family. The writ was issued on
the theory that Duke is sane and capa-
BILE of taking care Of his personal af-
fairs. Alice Webb Powell Duke, the
bride, is still in hiding.
This action was taken before Judge
Gaynor in Brooklyn simultaneously
with a counter move on the part OF
Nicoll. Arnable & Lindsay, represent
ing Dukes family, who were obtaining
Judge Greenbaum's signature to an or
der in the Supreme Court in Manhat-
tan. This order was returnable on jan
uary 20 and called for the appointment
of a committee for the care of the per-
son and property of Duke. In the ap-
plication for this order 1t was alleged
that Duke was an habitual drunkard
and was insane and absolutely incom-
petent to manage or take care of his
property.
Duke at one time was considered to
be worth anywhere from three to five
million dollars. His estate now Is be-
ueyed to be worth about $250,000.
eMembers of the Duke family were In
consultation with Delaney Nicoll near
ly all afternoon. They are determined
to annul the marriage Of Duke to Alice
webb in the first instance; to have 9

who. they believe, took part in the
conspiracy to get possession Of Duke'i

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Pacific

taking leading part in the propagan-
da against tariff revision, made an ef-
fort to get together to-day to arrange
for, concerted action by all members of
Congress. from the Pacific States. The
meeting called for this evening failed
of a quorum, however, probably for the
reason that, because of the announce
ment that the President would not con-
tinue to urge a change in the Dingley
schedules, it was not believed that
there was necessity for prompt action.
1t is understood that the sentiment of

PRAISE MORALE
OF MORMONS
Two Prominent Idaho Gen
tiles Testify on Be-
half of Reed Smoot
GOOD WORD FOR SECT
Former Senator Mcconnell
Refutes Statements Made
by Former Witnesses

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Testimony
intended to prove that the Mormon
morale is of the highest type and to re-
fute the word of witnesses who have
declared the contrary to be true was
offered by counsel for Senator Smoot
to-day. w. j. Mcconnell, formerly a
United States Senator from Idaho and
twice Governor of his State. and Rep
resentative Burton l.. French, a mem
ber of the present Congress and re-
elected for another term, were the
days witnesses. 1t was the opening
session of the defense in the Smoot in
vestigation. Both witnesses denied
many statements directed against the
Mormon church and its alleged inter-
ference in political affairs. Former
Governor Mcconnell said that the gen.
tile members of the Idaho Legislature
had not as high morals as the Mormon
members, and that If it were not for
questions of geography and knowledge
of legislative needs the interests of the
State would be better served by an en-
tire Mormon Legislature.
In defense of the Mormons, McCon-
nell said he considered the man who
took a plural wife and cared for her
and her children far better than one
who sustained Illicit relations with a
woman and abandoned her and her
children to the scorn Of the world.

"RUN'
UPON A BANK
Policemen Obliged to Use
Their Clubs Upon a Mob
of Frenzied Depositors

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Three police
men and two Hebrew women were in
jured in run on the State Bank in
Grand street, in the heart Of the busi-
ness section of the East Side to-day
The run" was attended by some sem
sational incidents. The 5000 persons
crowded about the bank became SO in
sistent that they broke down an iron
railing around a light-well in front OF
the building, and it was only by des-
perate clubbing on the part of the
police that the excited and unruly mob
was prevented forcing many of its
members into the well. The policemen
and women were hurt at that point
The emergency police detail of the
Delancy-street station was finally
called out, and policemen were sta
toned at interval of five or six feet
for two blocks on each side of the
bank
The cause of the run" was as ex-
traordinary as the fren2ied character
of the run ITSELF Yesterday there
was rush of depesitors to get their
money into the bank in time to begin
TO draw interest at once and the long
line of waiting depositors Convinced
the excitable Hebrews that something
was wrong with the institution. Five
hundred persons waited in front of the
building last night and their number
quickly swelled to 5000 when the bank
opened to-day, though not all that
number were depositors.

$250,c00 was brought by the wagon,
largely in specie. At the sight of the
money those waiting seemed only i'm
patient to get at it. The bank paid off
the depositors as fast as possible. In
all it paid out to-day $4,000 and re-
ceived in deposits $4,000
Remarkable scenes attended the pay
ing off within the bank. The officers
paid in two-thirds specie and one-third
bills and some depositors were fairly
overwhelmed by the amount of cur
rency thrust upon them when they
passed in their books. Immediately
upon getting their money into their
hands and becoming convinced that
the bank was able to pay them, the
frantic Hebrews became extremely
anxious to get their money into the
bank again, and several of them creat-
ed scenes when the officers refused to
accept 1t. The depositors were paid in
specie to prevent redeposit as this
was the sixth run the bank has ex-

Jan. 11.-"AlI right" said

country on this subject. There

And with that the tariff re-

from the staff of the White
House.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, Speaker
of the House, won this capitu-
IatiOn from the President and
the tariff revisionists and there
will be no oyerhauling of the
Dingley law by the next Con-
gress, i'm extra or regular ses-
sion. Speaker Cannon called
upon the President to-day and
showed him the result of CAN
vass of the House which had
been made under his direction.
This showed that whatever
might be the sentiment of the
public I'm favor of revision, the
Overwhelming feeling among the
Republican members of Con-
gress was against a general re-
vision of the tariff. Cannon
told the President that 30 per
cent of the Representatives did ,
not want any extra session and
at best only a few of them were
in favor of a few minor cOrrec-
tions in the Dingley schedules.
The Herald and The CalE
made another canvass of the
Republican members of the
House to-day. The result tai
lies closely with that obtained
by Speaker Cannon. 1t shows
that 1876 members out of a total
Republican membership of 80
are opposed TO an extra session
of Congress and general re-
vision of the tariff.
1t is now generally under
stood that the President will
confine his surplus energies to
an attempt TO obtain railroad
rate revision and supervision.

SENATE HEARS
EWLANDS' 'PLAN
Neyadan Presents Argument
for Federal Incorporation
Act for the Railroads
FOR NATIONAL CONTROL
Controversy Leaves Little
Time to Be Devoted to
the Statehood Measure

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE at
tention of the Senate to-day was di-
vided between the statehood question
and governmental regulation of rail-
roads. Newlands made formal speech
on the railroads and at its close en-
gagged in a controversy over the points
involved with Senators Spooner and
Foraker. All amendments to the state
hood bill except that relating to liquor
traffic in Indian Territory were agreed
to.
Newlands addressed the Senate on the
joint resolution which he introduced
s some days ago, which provides for a
commission with instructions to frame
a national Incorporation act for the
construction of railroads engaged in in
terstate commerce. He said it was time
to ignore State lines in the operation
and management of railroads, and add
ed that the power sought was constitu-
tional and involved no contradiction of
the Democratic views as to the re-
served powers of State and local self
government.
Foraker asked Newlands how he pro-
posed to secure the reincorporation of
the various railroad companies as pro-
posed by his resolution. Newlands re-
piled that his measure is so framed as
TO partially drive and partially coax
the rules.
Spooner raised ne point that ii would
be impossible by Federal enactment to
regulate commerce between the States.
Newlands replied that he did not con-
tend that Congress had power to regu-
late commerce confined exclusively to
any one State. He did contend. how
ever, that when the Government con-
structed a railroad no State had power
to tax it out of existence.
The statehood bill was taken uD, and
an amendment which will have the es-
feet of leaving the location OF the cap
ital to the Legislature of Oklahoma was
passed.
The amendment making donation of
S5000,000 for the benefit of the public
schools of the proposed State of Ari-
zona was adopted after striking out
the provision for the payment of in-
terest on the sum.
