preaching train

attempt to have the car stopped but

posting it in heap of kindling wood,

GAG RULES
OF REPUBLICANS ATTACKED IN
THE HOUSE

Washington, Marcn o.-Today's ses-
sion of the senate was almost wholly
given UP to private bills upon the
calendar
Among the bills passed was one re-
quiring operators of motor boats. en-
gagged in carrying passengers for hire,
to take out a license, this to be re-
vocable in case of drunkenness or in
capacity on the part of operator,
Without dissenting voice the
house today adopted the Williams res
olution, directing the attorney general
to inform the house whether criminal
prosecutions have been instituted
against the individuals or corpora
tions who we're adjudged recently by
the supreme court of the United States
in the Northern Securities case to
be guilty of having violated the laws
of the United States by entering into
unlawful combinations in restraint OF
interstate commerce.
Another measure passed increases
from $4,000 to 100000 the amount
available to the secretary of the treas
ury for the making of pennies and
nickles. The restrictions that these
coins be made in the Philadelphia
mint was removed and now. the mints
at San Francisco. Denver and New
Orleans will share in the distribution
of the coinage.
The days proceedings were enliven-
ed by two impromptu speeches. The
first came from Representative Shack
leford, (Dem., Mo- who attacked the
gag rules of the Republicans; charac-
terized Speaker Cannon as the most
despotic of all despots," and referred
to Republican Floor Leader Payne as
the handsome gentleman from New
York"
Upon the question of passing his
resolution, directing the attorney gen.
eral to inform the house why tie
Northern Securities officials had not
been prosecuted, Mr.. Williams, the
Democratic floor leader, criticized the
failure of the administration to en-
force the law.
The shielding of those high up in
Lne 8Oflu . SLdJiOu anu rlcn IN the
worlds goods" he declared, is a doc
trine of the administration. He advo-
Gated that the discretionary power In
regard to the punishment of those con-
victed of breaking the laws at either
Imprisonment or through fine should
be done away with and that all penal
ties should provide both a fine and
prison sentence.
when this is DONE" he declared,
1--WE shall no longer have the shame
full spectacle of a jury acquitting a
Pat Grove just because he kidnapped
the child of one of the beef trust
barons."
This acquittal he labelled as a great
miscarriage of justice. On the other
hand he pointed out that the refusal
of H. H. Rogers, the right hand man
of Rockefeller In the Standard Oil
trust" to answer questions put to him
during the investigation of the Stand
ard in New York City by the attor-
ney general of Missouri was Just as
snamefully, a violation OF the law.
The Republican party's refusal to
prosecute the Northern Securities ner-
ger officials was an example to all
classes, he said, to disobey the rules
OF justice.

URGES MILLIONS
FOR DEFENSE

washington, MarCn 0g-ln WHAT was
practically a special message Presi
dent Roosevelt urged upon congress
today the necessity of carrying out
without delay a systematic plan of
coast defense for the United States
and its insular possessions, and asks
for an appropriation of over $50,000,-
600. 1t was in the form of letter of
transmittal accompanying report on
coast defense submitted by special
joint board of army and naval officers,
which the president appointed for tnat
purpose.
r. NECESSITY EXISTS.
President Roosevelt said: THE ne
cessity of a complete and adequate
; system of coast defense is greater to-
day than 20 years ago, for the increas-
ed wealth of the country offers more
tempting inducements to attack and
a hostile feet can reach our coast in
a much shorter period of time. The
fact that we now have a navy does
not in any way diminish the import
ance of coast defences; on the con-
trary, that fact emphasizes their value
and necessity for their construction.
1t is an accepted naval maxim that
navy can be used to strategic advan-
tage only when acting on the offensive
and it can be free to so operate only
after our coast defense is reasonably
secure and so recognized by the coun-
try.
''It was due to the securely defended
condition of the Japanese ports that
the Japanese fleet was free to seek
out and watch its proper objective
theaRussan fleet without fear of
interruption of recall to guard its
home ports against raids by the Vlad-
ivostok squadron. This, one of the
most valuable lessons of the late war in
the East is worthy of serious Consid-
Grafton by our country with its extern
sive coast line, it's many important
harbOrs and it's many wealthy manu-
featuring coast cities. The security
and protection of our interests are de-
pendent on the completion of the de-
fences of our coast and the accom-
panying plan merits and should re-
. ceive the generous support of Con
4 gress"
''t The president says the definite and
; Intelligent policy of the Endicott
. board is as applicable today as when
formulated. Advance in fighting ma
terial necessitates elaboration and
changes
q" SOME REASONS
''The greater effective ranges possi-
BILE with the later rified cannon" he
says. ''the necessity of thoroughly COW
ering with gun fire all available wat
ers of approach and the growth of
seacoast towns beyond the limits of
some of the military reservations
have combined to move defensive |
works more to the front and many of |
the gun positions now occupied have
been obtained from private owner
ship. The cost of such IS has been |
p large item in the preset cost of for
tiications and this purchase Of land !
was not included in its estimates by |
the Endicott board, neither was the |
cost of ammunition which must now
be provided for" !
