SENATOR'S SCORE PRESIDENT
Bailey and TiIlman Both Make Sharp
Criticisms
BY Aasoclnted Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Senator
Tillman in a lengthy statement made
during the consideration of the railroad
rate bill accused the president of wa
vering. He referred specifically to the
long amendment, saying that he did
so with the purpose of making an ex-
PLANTATION.
He said the senators would be sur
prised to know that he had been in
conference with the president.
On March 81, said Mr.. Tillman, Sem
ator Chandler told Senator Tillman that
the president desired to get in commu-
nication with Mr.. Tillman for the pur-
pose of getting sufficient Democrats
lined up together to defeat obnoxious
amendments to the railroad rate bill
Mr. Chandler quoted the president as
being entirely at outs with the sena-
torial lawyers, including Knox as well
as Spooner and Foraker, and that the
chief executive deliberately and with
care stated that he thought there
basis, namely, an amendment expressly
granting a court review, but limiting it
to two points:
The Points Specified
~ An inquiry whether the commits
sion had acted beyond its authority ulta
wires and (2) whether it had violated
the constitutional rights of the carrier.
Mr.. Chandler stated that the president
repeated that he had reached a final
decision that the right of review should
be thus limited; that thus far he would
go and no farther; that his decision
would be unalterable.
Proceeding, he said that Mr.. Chandler
had said that the president had assured
him that he would be in favor of re-
striction against the issuance of ex
parte injunctions to meet the wishes of
Senators Tillman and Bailey.
After informing Mr.. Bailey of the
purport of the Chandler interview, Mr.
Tillman said that on the next day he
had told Mr.. Chandler that in his and
Mr.. Bailey's opinion there would be no
difficulty in coming to an understanding
on the basis proposed by the president.
Reassured President
"On Monday evening Mr.. Chandler
told me he had so assured the president
and asked him not to be disturbed by
the newspaper items growing out of the
talk about Senator Longs amendment.
published in the newspapers as one
agreed upon in the White House confer
ence on Saturday"
He then said that he and Mr.. Chand-
Ter had continued their conference and
on April the ex-senator had gone to
the White House. to make favorable
report to the president. On April s
Mr.. Chandler told him that he had con-
ferred with Senator Allison. asking him

ness and weakness Of a whisper.
Fails to "Make Good"
"Then he was going to have the rail
roads regulated and II was announced
that congress would be convened in exc
traordinary session to deal with It, but
the great leaders assembled with the
president, prayed with him little
while, and no call was issued for an
extraordinary session Of congress.
"1e waited until the regular session
and FIVE months of that has elapsed and
still no legislation. And when we do
get bill God save the country from 2
bill as It will be.
"1f the president has been as heroic
q figure as the senator from Montana
would have us believe he was, you know
what he would have done. He would
have summoned the Republican leaders
to a conference from the senate and the
house and he would have said to them:
What Should Have Been Said
Gentlemen, l am not talking to you
as the president of the United states.
am talking to you as Theodore Roose-
welt the Republican. l am talking to
you as a Republican. / want to tell
you that I happened to have learned
that unless you pass a good bill the
president OF the United States intends
to veto it,
"And then they would have passed a
bill fulfilling in some degree the laud-
able expectations of this people.
III Congress had failed to do It and
he had vetoed the bill they passed and
then convened them In extraordinary
session to pass a good one he would
have written his name side by side with
the names of Jefferson and jackson and
Lincoln and Others among his illustri-

Common Sales Agencies VIII
Not Be Allowed
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 12.--James M.
Beck of this city, who, with Frank B.
kellogg of st. Paul, represented the
government as special counsel in the
case brought by the attorney general
against the General Paper company,
last night said
Yesterdays decision was gratifying
to the governments counsel, but was
clearly foreshadowed by the decision
of the supreme court in passing upon
the refusal of the General Paper COM
pany to show it's books and papers.
THAT decision clearly indicated that
if the facts were as the counsel for
the government said they were the
testimony was relevant and would
support a decree.
Decision Is Important
"The real significance of this case
consists not merely in the important
decision rendered by the supreme court
as to the power of the government
to compel a corporation to produce
its books and papers, Notwithstanding
the fifth and fourteenth amendments,
but to the fact that it is now held
to be within the prohibition Of the
Sherman antitrust law for a number
Of competing corporations to establish
common sales agency.
Formed Corporation
"In this case some twenty-eight
corporations, which were manufacture
ing paper, formed a corporation called
the General Paper company and prac-
tically sold all of their product through
the General Paper company to the
trade.
1.-The General Paper company fixed
the prices with the allotments among
the mills, and after deducting a per-
centage for it's expenses RENTED the
balance to the constituent companies
In proportion to their output"

CANAL MEASURE IN DEADLOCK
Senate Committee Unable to Agree on
Important Measure

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-The senate
committee ON interoceanic canals is in
a deadlock on the question of the type
of canal to be recommended. The ques-
ton was taken up today and the vote
showed five for a sea level and five for
the lock type recommended by the min
ority of the board of consulting en-
gineers.
There were two absentees, Senator's
German and Carmack. The latter tele-
graphed from Tennessee instructing the
chairman to count his vote for the sea
level type, which would have made a
majority against the lock canal desired
by the administration.
Wrangle for an Hour
After wrangling for an hour over the
question of accepting the vote of Sen
ator Carmack, the committee adjourned
until Wednesday next.
The vote today was as follows For
the sea level: Kittredge, Platt, Ankeny,
Morgan and Taliaferro.
For lock type: Millard, Hopkins,
Dryden, Knox and Simmons.
An effort was made by Senator
Kittredge to vote Senator Carmack,
but objection was made.
If Senator Carmack should return to
Washington before the meeting We'd
nesday, undoubtedly the decision of
the committee will be in favor of sea
level canal.

HAD YOUNG oEEvER, THE VIC
TIM OF MRS. WHlTEMArI, OF
WRIT COUNTY.

" PARKERSBURG. w. Va, July -.
Alice Whiteman, the nineteen-year-
old girl, whose lover was shot last
February by her mother in her own
door yard, testified for the State yes
terday and gave damaging testimony
against her mother.
She proved good witness for the
defense as well, however, as she tes-
titled that on the very day of the mur.
der she heard her lover threaten her
mothers life. She testlfiedp that her
mother had often asked Ed Deever not
to visit the daughter and that he as
otter threatened to kill her.
On the day of the murder DeeVer
called Alice Whiteman to the yard,
and she went out and talked to him.
She testified that her mother followed
and ordered DeeYer to leave. He re-
fused and threatened to kill Mrs.
Whiteman, whereupon she went to
the house and returned with a gun.
Alice insisted that she turned her
back. because she did not want to
see her mother hurt, and did not see
who shot. But she heard the shot
and then saw Ed Deeyer dead. No
one else, was present but her mother.
other witnesses testified that Mrs.
Whiteman had stated to them that
she had secured legal advice to the
effect that ii Deever came to her
premises after she had ordered him
not to do so, she had a right to kill
him. Other witnesses testified that
had once tried to kill Ed Deever, but
Mrs. Whiteman had said that she
he got away. The defense now has
the case and is showing that the de.
ceased had often threatened the &C.
cused woman.
