OUR CITY ALDERMEN

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 17.-The owners
of the dives which cluster around the
lower part of the down town business
district, have been notified by the
chief of police that they will not be
tolerated in that locality after May
/, 1906. This announcement, at first,
caused considerable CONSERVATION
and surprise among the owners, who
are mostly ward politicians, of con
siderable pull, and have, heretofore,
enjoyed immunity, II not actual pro-
lection from the democratic admin
istration. After a while they began to
doubt the sincerity of the police de-
partment, and came to the conclusion
that the order was merely like so
many previous orders, a scheme to
throw sand into the eyes of the pub
lie, which had become thoroughly dis
gusted with the lawless condition OF
certain disreputable streets close to
the business district. The mayor re
ceived information that the dive own.
ers did not seem to fear any serious
Interference, and were making no
preparations to move from the for.
hidden district. TheTeupOn he sent
word TO them, through the police de-
partment, that the order was issued
peremptory, and meant exactly what
il said. Since then there has been
considerable activity among the poll
ticians of the wards in which these
dives are located, and several efforts
have been made to induce the mayor
to rescind the order, or at least. eX-
tend the time. Mayor Dunno has de-
clined, however, to rescind or in any
way change the order.

PRESIDENT CASTRO
IS SLY OLD FELLOW

New York. Jan 17.-Translations
just received in this country of the
pleadings in the Venezuelan courts. in
the matter of the suit brought by that
government against the New York &
Bermudes (AsphalD company, for
81 900 900 damages suffered by rea-
son of the company's alleged com
plicity in the Matos revolution of 1901,
bring out many unique features.
Conspicuous among these is the fact
that the laws of Venezuela are so
framed as TO restore political offend
ers to full rights after disorders have
been put down. AS the laws stand, If
you are caught while a revolution is
going on, you must take the cOnse-
quences Once the revolt is quelled,
all past sins are forgiven.
The local Venezuelan attorney for
the company at Caracas shows up
these points very clearly. They are
of particular interest in view of the
fact that this suit Is absolutely unique
in international proceedings. The
MatOs revolution took place in 1901,
yet in 1904 the government brings
a suit for damages against a foreign
corporation for completely In that
movement The government does not
claim that the cOmpany's property
was outlawed or liable TO seizure for
the proceedings, but damages are de
manded for the financial injuries suf.

WHEN TlLLMAN GETS
FLOOR OF SENATE

Washington, d. c., Jan. 17.-When
the senate convened today Tillman
was prepared to proceed with a speech
on the status of affairs in Santo Do
mingo, Of which he had given notice
but as there was considerable rou
tine business he was not recognized
until after It had been disposed OF.
Hale Wouldn't Stand IT,
An impressive and almost sensa
tiOnal scene occurred in the senate
today. Tillman was severely arraign,
ing the president, and Hale, In a firm
and intense manner, declared that
Tinman had no right to vent his feel
lngs against the president in any such
way as he was doing.
Tulman declared that he was not
allowing his personal feelings to en-
ter the subject Owing TO his high re-
gard for the senator from Maine he
would listen 10 Hale's reprlmand
without losing his temper.
The criticism which Senator Till
man was making related to the eject
mgnt of Mrs. Morris from the White
House. which he said was the most
pitiful example that had ever been as
ISOLATED with a president. Tillman
charged that Roosevelt had been made

Arizona Delegation So
Hard Hit They Lose
Their Temper.
TWO DIFFERENT SPECIALS
Senate Sees Scene Almost
Sensational Between Hale
and TiIiman.
SOME THINGS MINOR INTEREST

Washington, d. c., Jan. 17.-For two
hous today the house committee on
territories and a delegation of anti
joint statehood league of Arizona en-.
gagged in a sparring contest, which
eliminated in a personal clash be-
tween Representative Powers OF
Maine and Deiegac1 Smith of Arizona,
that concluded with an apology from
Smith.
The break came while Colonel r.
A. Morrison, of Prescott, Ariz., was
addressing the committee. Chairman
Hamilton of Michigan, had asked Nor
rison many questions about the inau'
equate taxation of mines and rail
roads in Arizona, to which Smith OBJ
jected.
When Powers began to question
Morrison as to the proportion Of the
Mexican population in New Mexico
and Arizona, Smith ogjected. Powers
resented the Interruptions, and ex-
claimed: Il understand fully the
sensitiveness Of this delegation con-
cerning these questions. know
whom they represent and all about
them"
II have seen enough of this, and
denounce the charge as false Smith
retorted You may impugne the mo
tives of the charge, but when you I'M
pugne my motives, | shall resist.
Powers emphatically replieda II
shall ask all the questions | want to.
The committee was in an uproar by
this time, and after Chairman Hamil'
ton called order and asked the mem
bers TO he more calm, Smith offered
an apology. saying that perhaps he
vas mistaken, but Powers questions
struck him as though inspired by par
tisanship and not designed by desire
for information.
Cru account of the frequent inter
rtt,l IONS nv members o. he comrsit
tee. and the promptings and interrup
tions by members of the Arizona del
egation, Morrison was unable to make
an extended argument. The feeling
was so intense and the hearing so un
satisfactory, that the committee de
cided that at the hearing to be held
tomorrow. all the speakers shall be
permitted to complete their arguments
before they are subjected TO ques
tions by members of the committee

That is the attitude of Henry n.

Captain Kidd of the twentieth cen

However impotent Rogers may con.

at last upon a public stage, and as a
witness in the Missouri trust investi-

his presumptiye power is revealed.
Rogers looks very much like a hu-

god. When people get in his way
he brushes them aside. He kicked in

who attempted. within his rights, TO
take a snapshot of him on Broadway.
He is guarded by three strong-armed
detectives when he walks upon the
street. He is naughty. contemptuous,
overbearing, dictatorial and evidently

There is no record of H. H. Rogers
