CANNON REPLIES
TO SHACKLEF ORD
DRAMATIC SCENE WITNESSED
IN THE HOUSE
Speaker, Goaded by Charges of Mis-
sourIan, Rises and DscIaims
ResponsbiIity-Rate Bill
Engages Senate
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, March 27. - The
house today witnessed a most unusual
scene, the speaker rising on the floor
in the midst OF a spirited discussion
on reciprocity and tariff revision and
disclaiming responsibility for differ
ences between majority members. 1t
was toward the close of the debate on
the urgent deficiency bill, which ap-
propriated among other things for the
Forthcoming conference at Rio de ia
metro, when Mr.. Shackleford of Mis-
souri, rose to explain what he intended
saying last week in regard to the Mis-
souri, volunteers bill when he was
taken from the floor by Mr.. Tawney
of Minnesota, who objected to the per-
sonal character of the remarks.
Mr.. Shackleford read his remarks
which charged the speaker with hold
ing UP the bill referred to. The speaker
instantly rose on the completion of
Mr.. Shacklefords statement. There
was a buzz of expectancy all over the
house. Republicans gathered about the
chair, Democrats crowded the aisle
and it was a highly dramatic moment
when the speaker himself, pale but
carrying a look of grim determination,
Sdlu Ill d NOlCt lildI ICelSiCu CNSlJ va
ner of the chamber:
"If it affords him (Shackleford) any
consolation to make me stalking
horse on account of the quarrel with
the minority well and good"
Applause ran through the hall, which
was hushed' by the chairman's de-
termined effort not to let the house get
away from the point at issue.
Mr.. Shackleford with deep feeling
replied, in the midst of the confusion
which ensued owing to the speakers
unusual appearance.
"I deny Mr.. Speaker, that my quar-
rel with you has any such founda-
ton"
The bill was then completed and
passed.

BIG FIRE AT J0HNST0WN
Flood City Undergoes Calamity From
Flames-One Fireman Killed
and Several Hurt
BY Associated Press.


JOHNSTOWN, Pa, March 2S.-With
a monetary loss that at a. m. is esti-
mated at nearly a million, one fireman
killed. several seriously hurt by falling
walls, Johnstown Is threatened this
moning with devastation that almost
rivals that of the great flood.
The fire broke out at 1890 o'clock in
the center of the business section and
has been spreading for three hours.
The twelve fire companies are power
less to check the blaze, The town is
without electric lights, the wires hav-
ing been burned out, and the depart
ment is further handicapped by con-
stantly bursting hose. The fire started
from an unknown cause in the hard
ware firm of Swank & Co., and spread
rapidly to the buildings adjoining on
either side.
At 8 a. m. the fire continues to spread
and is apparently beyond control of the
twelve fire companies fighting the
flames.
$3.50 a. m.-The chief of the fire de-
partment announced that the fire
was practically under control and that
it would burn itself out in the Gels
building, the last of four big buildings
in q row.

Says He Had Lot Of Greek Fire to

BOISE, Idaho, March q. - Steve
Adams, one of the men who have con-
fessed their connection with crimes IN
Colorado charged against the so-called
inner circle of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, was taken to Pocatello
today to dig up lot of material desig-
mated as Greek fire, which he claims
to have buried there late in the sum-
mer of 1903
Detective Mcfarland, Detective Thiel
and Governor Gooding were of the
party, also Warden Whitney of the
penitentiary, and Travelling Guard Rob
bins. In his confession he stated he
was sent by Haywood and Boyer to
Pocatello to intercept a carload of non
union men being sent from Couer
d'Alene to Colorado. He was, he says
directed to kill the entire lot, and eX-
pected to do so with the Greek fire.
This was to be thrown into the car,
where it would envelop everything with
fire that nothing would eXtinguish.
The car of non-unlon men did not
come through as expected and after
waiting a good while the plan was
given up. Adams then buried the stuff
in an old building that had been used
as a sawmill, packing the bottles in Il
tin can. He was certain he could go
to the spot and unearth the cache.
A special to the statesman from TO-
catello says:
The place is now used as a stable
and Adams Is digging up the floor to
find the cache. One glass stopper has
been found, which Adams thinks be-
longs to one of the small bottles. He
says ne took the stuff to Pocatello in
a canvas telescope bag and threw it
behind the mill when he had buried the
bottles.

Weeter, it is alleged, found the telescope

Rate Bill in Senate
Ry Associated Pr ess.

BY Associated Fl eS9.
WASHINGTON March 27.-Mr. Till
man and Mr.. McCumber divided the
time of the senate today, the North
Dakota senator directing himself to
the railroad rate question exclusively
and the South Carolina senator dis
cussing various questions.
Mr.. Tillman made especial inquiry
concerning the status of his resolution
relative to the use of national bank
funds in politics, and incidentally spoke
of District Attorney Jeromes recent
utterances and of Judge Humphreys
decision in the beef trust cases, declar-
ing in the latter that the decision
against the attorney general had mere
ly reaped what he had sown in the
case of Former Secretary Paul Nor
ton.
Mr.. Foraker defended Judge Humph-
rey, and Mr.. Tillman declared that he
had not meant to attack the judge but
the law.
Mr.. McCumber picked innumerable
flaws in the rate bill predicting that if
enacted into law it would fail entirely
to meet the demands of the public. He
said, however, he would vote for the
bill If properly amended.
After further debate Mr.. Tillman
again suggested the desirability of Sc
curing an agreement upon day for
a vote on the rate bill and read an
outline of his plan for voting.
Mr.. Aldrich objected to setting time
for a vote now. He said he had no de-
sire to cause delay, but that there will
be still so many speeches to be made
that it was evident that the senate was
not yet prepared to set voting date.
Mr.. Lodge presented an amendment
to the rate bill prohibiting rebates and
determinations, and providing penal
ties for viola ton of the law.
Mr.. Knox gave notice of speech on
the rate bill tomorrow.

witnesses testified, to send a certified
copy of the testimony to the supreme
court of Missouri, where it will become
a part of the record in the stae's case

In the record the fact that every effort

written by him to attorneys Of the
Standard Oil company requesting that
officers of the company accept service
The request applied to John D. Rookie
feller, along with several others.
During the examination of the sub
poena server, counsel for the defendant
companies brought out that the man
had received money from newspapers
for stories of his experiences in trying
to serve some of the Standard Oil men.
Counsel declared these facts were
brought out ito show there has been a
lot of grandstanding and advertising
about this, and a lot of sensational

"The only sensationalism there has
been in this case has been the sensa-
tional attempts of these witnesses TO
evade service of subpoenas," replied
