BAILEY HITS
1T ROOSEVELT
Senate Is Still Haggling
Over Travelling Ex-
pense Item.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-During a
lull in the debate on the Panama Canal
bill today Senator Hale called up the
sundry civil appropriation BILL and
Senator McLaurin continued his speech
in opposition to the appropriation of
$4,000 for the Presidents travelling
expenses. 3 He based his objections to
the appropriation upon the ground that
il makes a class distinction, and said
that he was opposed to that principle
He objected not only to the Presidents
'gallivantiag" about over the country
but also TO his using the public money
TO invite such representatives of the
press IS he might desire to have with
him-such as would give out the kind
of information that would suit him and
conceal such as he did not want printed.
It had been claimed that but for the
Presidents trips about the country the
railroad rate bill would never have re-
ceiYed the popular approval that had
been given it: but, asked McLaurin, had
not Mr. Bryan been advocating this
legislation long before the Presidents
message of 1904?
McLaurin disavowed any special ref
erenee to the present chief executive.
saying his remarks applied TO the
office.
Senator Foraker suggested that, as
the President was commander in chief
of the army and navy, he has a right
70 use public vessels for public pur-
poses, and Senator Tillman said that
the Presidents time was SO completely
occupied that he must be considered as
attending To public business wherever
he might be.
Senator Hale asserted that the salary
OF the President could not be increased
so as to make the increase apply to the
incumbent. Senator Bailey suggested
that an increase he provided and be
made applicable 70 the next executive.
He admitted that there might be a need
for enlargement OF the executive in
come. saying he had heard that there
had been an increase of 100000 in ex-
penses during the incumbcncy OF the
present President

CANNON BALKS !
THE PRESIDENT
Prevents Action on I'm
migration Measure
in the House.

WASHINGTON, June 21-Extraordi-
nary steps are being taken by the
Catholic church and Jewish interests
to defeat the pending immigration bill.
The President has been appealed to, but
without avail to prevent the passage
of the bill or secure modification of
certain highly Objectionable provisions.
The hope of the opposition to it centers
in Speaker Cannon, who, by standing
in the way of the measure. again lines
himself up in conflict with the Presi-
dent.
The educational requirement in the
proposed immigration law is respon-
sible for the serious alarm that has
been aroused in so many quarters. The
Jews of the country are especially dis
tressed at the prospect of having the
gates of the United States closed
against those of their race fleeing from
persecution abroad
The Catholic church interests are
scarcely less aroused. Cardinal Glib
bons has written at least once to the
President on the subject, pointing out
the hardships that will follow the en-
forcement of a law containing a severe
educational requirement.
But the appeal OF the Cardinal did
not move the President. He is stand
Ing squarely behind the Gardiner bill.
which contains the reading test which
the President advocated in his message
to Congress in 1901
Inquiry at the White House for con-
les of the correspondence between the
President and the Cardinal brings forth
the statement that the letters will not
be made public. but 1t is learned that
the President sent to the Cardinal some
information intended to dernonstrate
that the position Of the latter was un-
sound.
Speaker Cannon is the man who "a
making the fight against the unponu-
lar measure Cannon is not moved so
much BY humanitarian motives as hy
political expendiency, but, whatever his
object he is opposing the bill, and to
very great effect, too.
Speaker Cannon has steadfastly re-
fused TO give the immigration bill a
chance. The other day Gardiner pre-
pared to force the Speakers hand hv

HOUSE AND SENATE LOCK
HORNS OVER NAVAL BILL
Lower Branch of Congress Refuses to
Agree to the Conference
Report

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The unex-
pected occurred in the House today
Instead of taking up the House sub
stitute for the Hepburn pure food bill
early in the day. as expected, 1t was
late in the afternoon before James r.
Mann of Illinois proceeded to cham
pion it.
The delay was caused by q long dis
cussion of the conference report on the
naval appropriation bill in which Foss
of Illinois, chairman of the committee
was defeated by other House leaders
The House was not in a hu.nor to ac-
cept the partial conference. nor did it
desire to leave some of the senate
amendments without expressing its
Judgment upon them. In consequence
by q close vote, the conferees were IN
structed to concur in the Senate
amendment relating to the big battle
ship, which provides that its type, dis
placement and tonnage must be re-
ported to Congress before any pro-
posal is accepted.
Several minor amendments were also
adopted and then the report was dis
agreed to.
The House pure food bill then occu-
pied the time until adjournment.

Sea Level Project Loses
by Close Vote in the
Senate.
Majority Acts in Accord
With President and
House.
Indorses Recommendation
Made by American
Engineers.

WASHINGTONs June 21-The SEN
ate today took position In accord with
the President and the House of Repre-
sentatives by declaring for a lock canal
across the Isthmus of Panama. The
result was reached after a days dis
cussion that was almost devoid of In
teresting incident. There was only one
record vote, and that was negative in
character, coming on a motion to lay
on the table the lock type substitute for
the sea-level bill. This motion was
made by Senator Kittredge, and was
voted down, 81 to 36. The vote in de-
tail was as follows:
Ayes-Ankeny. Berry. Blackburn,
Burnham, Burrows, Carmack, Clay,
Clark of Montana. Culberson, Daniel.

The vote is generally accepted as
definitely settling the type of the great
waterway. and terminates what at one
time threatened to become a sharp diff
ference between the Senate on the one
hand and the President and the House
on the other. The engineers report has
figured prominently in the discussion.
and frequent attention has been called
to the fact that, while eight out of the
thirteen engineers reported in favor OF
the sea-level canal. all of the five dis
senters were American engineers, while
five of the other eight were Europeans.
Some Senators avOwed their preference
for the all-American report.
Senators Kittredge, CUllom. Scott,
Foraker and Dick spoke on the bill to-
day.

PREDICT BOLT
IN CONVENTION
Republicans of Iowa Are
Engaged in Factlonal
Warfare.
Indications Point to the
Nomination of Two
State Tickets.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


SIOUX CITY, Iowa, June 21.-That
there will be two Republican State
tickets nominated at Des Moines Au-
gust l is freely predicted by both fac
tions in the party, a fact which is very
gleefully contemplated by Iowa Demo-
Gratis. who never get within sight OF a
State Office except when the opposition
party is shot to pieces
An anomalous condition prevails.
Governor A. B. Cummins will go into
the State convention with more than
enough instructed delegates to renom-
mate him for a third term on the first
ballot But the Perkins faction has
captured six out of eleven members Of
the State central committee and 1t IS
planned to organize the convention and
count out enough Cummins delegations.
seating their own contesting groups, 20
nominate Perkins Lafe Young,
spokesman for the stand patters," has
boldly printed the plan as follows:
"A number of county delegations will
be contested in the State convention
so that the control of the convention
will be matter of political manipula-
tion and skill. Out of it will come a
bolt resulting in two Republican tick
ets"
That this is the plan is manifest from
the actions of the Perkins people at
Davenport last Saturday, when con-
testing delegation was selected from
Scott County when Cummins had car
ried the caucus overwhelmingly. But
this contest under the proposed scheme
will prevent Scott's thirty-flve dele
gates voting in the temporary organi-
zation for Cummins.
The Cummins faction, aside from the
damage to the party which will result
in a split of this kind, is viewing with
complacency the plan of the Perkins
leaders. Cummins men say in the first
place the Congressional delegates will
not permit their interests to be jeop-
ardized in this manner and that the
other candidates for State Offices will
not sacrifice themselves. But If the
Perkins crowd bolts the convention the
issue will. be so clearly one of corpora
tion and anti-corporation that the
.Cummins people say they are willing
to submit their case to the voters If
two tickets are named it will throw
on the Secretary of State the duty of
saying which will be on the ballot as
official Here Cummins has the advan-
tage for State Secretary Martin is an
ardent Cummins man.

FRENZIED FINANCE.
He Declared He Was No Worse Than
Stock Market Captains.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Edward Dunlap
burglar who died recently in Jeffer-
son hospital mere wrote before his
death a history of his criminal life in
burglar were no more reprehensible
than those of high financiers. Dun
lap made comparisons between himself
and stock market captains of industry
asserting that the moneyed chiefs were
quite as criminal as he ever was.
The manuscript of the dead man,
who willed his brain to scientific re-
search, is in the possession of DR.. J.
Chalmers Da Costa, of Jefferson hos
pital, through whose efforts Dunlay
ives released from the penitentiary
four years ago. The story of Dunlap's
life, as told by himself, is entitled 1.-The
Life and Crimes of a Burglar"
Dunlap narrated how he committed
crime by robbing banks and dwellings,,
and declared that there was little diff
ference between his lawbreaking and
the operations of high financiers. He
declared that in the many robberies
and other crimes which he had COM
mitted never did he take life, whereas
the suit wrought by the stock market
has been responsible for many blight
ed career and manV a death. The men
high up in financial circles are the real
criminals, he wrote, but declared in
this connection that they We're not
nearly so detXerOus in robbery as an
out-and-out burglar, who enters the
bank and makes his escape with the
loot.
The BURGLAR declared that the school
of the old burglar is now extinct, and
he added that the criminal of the pres
ent day does his robbing through the
stock market A most interesting fea-
ture of the book is Dunlap's account
of his life and the manner in which he
worked single-handed. He explained
that he operated in this manner as he
had no wish to draw others into mis-
wrongdoing. This, the burglar insist
ed, proved his contention that he was
not a burglar of his own free will, but
that his peculiar brain was RESPONSE

WORK SOON STARTS ALL OVER COUNTRY

Fruit growers of Walla Walla county
who neglect or refuse TO spray their
orchards will have the work done for
them by Fruit Inspector w. A. Ritz
and the expense will be placed as a
lien against the property of the or
chardist and collected the same as
and Inspector Ritz stated yesterday
that he will see that it is enforced.
"Orcnardists realize the necessity of
spraying their trees and very few
cases have been called to my atten-
ton where orchardists have refused or
neglected to spray" Inspector Ritz
said. THE law is such, however, that
if any one neglects to spray, the in
spector is given the authority to go on
the premises and perform the work,
charging the expense up against the
property"
The spraying of trees in Walla Walla
county, if the present warm weather
continues, will be on in full blast in
another week or so. Some orchardists
have already commenced this import
ant work, although the majority of
them will wait until danger from frosts
is passed. Deputy Inspector Lowell is
now engaged in notifying property
owners residing in the city that it is
nearly time to begin spraying, and In
spectOr Ritz will attend to the more
important work in the county.

Kansas Court Decides Negro Riqht to
Send Daughter to White School.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE SUI
preme court today decided that, in the
absence of a statute granting such
power, the boards of education in cities
of the second class have no right to
separate the negro children from the
whites in the public schools
The case which brought forth the
decision came from Coffeyville, where a
negro demanded that his daughter be
admitted to the same schoolroom with
the white children, although a separate
room having a negro teacher was pro-
Vlded for the negroes.
Iooays decision does not in any way
conflict with that in the Kansas City.
