To refute that calumny on the sex

incident which has been described
by the brilliant Lady Mary Whort-

shows how woman can make a noise
or be grimly silent as she chooses.
1t was in 1913, when Lord Hard

resolved to keep all women-peer-

lords. The women resolved that he

- 1NCE the disclosures made in the
insurance investigation concern
ing the salaries received by GER
tain officers OF some OF the COM
panies involved. there has been wide
spread discussion in business circles
as TO Just how far the matter of remun-
Grafton for services rendered should be
allowed to go, and It has been suggested
that 100000 a year should be the value
of the returns made by the employe.
Men who now hold positions of the
highest prominence are paid very much
less than that amount. Chauncey NJ.

the largest salary ever received by John

the question. Did it mean safety

asked But finally he specifically re-

Senator Bailey Presents His View:

Congress Has Fewer TO Deny TO the
Inferior United states Courts

sion's Arts Temporarily.

washington April li.--For more
than four hours Tuesday Mr.. Bailey
held the undivided attention OF the
senate with a speech In response TO
Mr. SDooner and Mr. Knox.
The day was one OF the most nota.
BILE In the recent sistory OF the sen.
ate. Very few senators were absent.
and every seat In the galleries was
held with marked tenacity. Many
members Of the house crowded into
the senate chamber. some OF them
standing for hours. Every seat In
the presidents gallery was occupied
by friends Of the executive family
Several senators and many spectators
went without luncheon rather than
miss any part OF Mr. Balley's speech.
and al it, conclusion the speaker was
congratulated by many. There was
comparatively few interruptions. and
there was no effort al applause until
the close OF the discussion. when there
was a spontaneous burst Of hand clap
ping In the galleries. which the vice
president was unable for a time 20
check.
The close attention given through.
out the four hours was all the more
marked In view OF the legal charac-
ter OF the argument
Mr. Bailey concluded at 4:35 p. m.
after speaking for four hours and ten
minutes amidst an outbreak OF ap-
plause which the chair found Il i'm
possible 10 suppress.
Mr.. Knox was among the first 20
offer congratulaiions. and ar. Lafot
lette pat;ed Mr. Bailey affectionately
on the back.
Mr.. Bailey set out 20 establish the
soundness OF his contention that con.
greHE has the power 10 deny TO the
Inferior United States courts the right
20 suspend the order OF the interstate
commerce commission pending the
lnal decision OF cases arising under
the proposed law. This he undertook
10 do by citing innumerable decisions
OF the courts and quoting many other
authorities. The citations were inter.
spersed with his comments. Mr.. Hale
announced his willingness 10 accept
the anti-suspension amendment. and
expressed confidence that II Mr.. Bal
ley would agree to broad court re
view there would be comparatively
little dlffic atty In reaching an agree
ment on the bill In response. Mr..
Bailey said he did not believe that
review by the courts could be denied
under the constitution.
He expressed the hope that Mr.
Spooner and Mr.. Knox would see tie
situation as he does. Then" he
said. we might have a new national
emblem In the big stick and pitchfork
"a new day Of justice. instead OF a
day OF hate"
He had no apprehension regarding
the effect OF the proposed legislation.
Instead OF undesirable results. he was
