 the question himself, Mir Tjllman said that the press has made the President what he is.
 Discussing charge he had made that Republican members of Congress had been subservient to White House requests or dictation. Mir. TilIman said he could not understand this unless 1t has been through fear Of losing pat ronage or that the President might use his influence to defeat them when they come up for reelection
 Mir. Gallinger interrupted to call at- tention to Representative Steenerson's denial of a newspaper article that threats of withholding patronage had been made to him at the White House
 Case of Mr. Bishop.
 Mir. Tillman admitted that newspa- pers are sometimes unjust but said that generally they are fair in their treatment of public questions He said that an instance of the Presidents use of newspaper men is had in his em- ployment of J. B. Bishop as a press agent" for the Panama canal.
 Secretary Loeb is the apothecary." he said, ''and pills on Panama, pills on Roosevelt, pills on railroad rates and pills on everything pertaining to public affairs are administered in this way. The newspapers have been the funnel through which this auack physic has been sent abroad and when some news paper men refused to print that which the President wants, there is great wrath at tho executive mansion
 Illustrative of some stories which crop out lover or through the bars," MT Tillman said that Hthe saddest and most pitiful example of anything that has ever been associated with the name of a President was the recent outrage of Mrs. Minor Morris at the White House" He said that because only Of the transgression of some rule the wo- man while sitting quietly had been dragged rudely away. her clothes torn, her hair torn out and thrust into carriage and taken away"
 At this point, MT. Hale interrupted MT. Tillman to protest against the latter's representation concerning the Morris incident. T hope" he said, de- liberately, that I may not figure in this body as general apologist of the administration or any one connected with it." and. continuing, said: "But I say to the Senator from South Caro- lima that he is making statements and assuming facts for which there is no warrant, and that he Is making the most serious and defamatory charges against the Executive of his country, the President of all the United States, having nothing whatever that he ad- duces as proof.
 Hale RebuI<es TiIIman.
 T must say to the Senator that do not deem 1t seemly that here in the Senate he should make this the oeca- sion of discharging the personal feeling of ill-will he has against the President of the United States. It is not spec tacle that any of us can look upon either with satisfaction or federation"
 The quiet that prevailed was almost oppressive, and it was none the less marked when Mir. Ttllman rose to re- ply.
 He said: T Ira ve such great respect for the great ability. high character and patriotic services of the Senator from Maine, and have had such intimate as- sociation with him during my service here. that he cannot say thing in the way of reprimand to cause me to lose my temperI want to say to you, sir addressing Mir. Hale directly, that am not defaming Theodore Roosevelt, and I have not allowed my personal feelings, supposing have any, to dic- tate one utterance of mine today. l want to say to you, sir that if you will offer a resolution appointing a commit tee of this body, composed of Repubii- cans alone, to examine into the facts, l will give you the names of four wiz nesses as reputable as you or l. who will swear to the statements l have made as to what actually occurred"
 MT. Hale-Let the Senator produce his testimony.
 MT. Tillman-You present your com mittee.
 Mir. Hale-And his afidavits before he stands up before the country and assails in this rude way the President of the United States.
 Naming of Committee.
 Mir. Tillman: "Ah, Will you then offer your resolution appointing com mittee to get at the facts?'
 MT. Hale: Let the Senator himself offer it.'
 Mr. Tillman: Tt is none of my busi- ness It is your business"
 MT. Hale: Tt is as much the Sena- tors business as it is mine.'
 MT. Tillman: NO, you have just ac- cused me of having personal animosity and hatred to gratify."
 MT. Hale: T do not credit the exag- gerated statements of the newspaper press about this incident. believe they are all extravagant, swollen and not justified by the facts; but when ever any Senator upon his responsibil- ity declares that there should be an fnvestigation and asks for an inVesti- gation so that we may have not state ments, not virulence, not denunciation but facts, nobody on this side will object to that resolution.
 Mir. Tillman II will offer It and put you to the test
 MT. Tillman then quoted the official statement concerning the Morris hci- dent and said that in ignoring the matter the President had practically endorsed It. He added that he had been told that another lady had been treated at the White House very much az Mrs. Morris had been.
 MT Hale again remonstrated with MT Tillman for malSin@ the senate the arena for the display cf his personal feelings. He declared that II IS not true that the Senate Is lncnned to bend the pregnant hinges If the knee to inc President and that the Presi- don had already learned that the Sen ate is an indenordnut hodv He added that Senators consult most tr"elv with him and advise him if thev differ from him. ,i.
