THE WATERS OF NIAGARA
Legal Argument Regarding the Pow
ers of Congress.

II was stated by Chairman Burton of the
House committee on rivers and harbors
today that the international WATERWAYS
commission was to submit an additional re-
port on the question of diversion of waters
from Niagara river Thursday, and that any
action by the rivers and harbors COM
mHtee on the bill for the preservation Of
the falls would be postponed until after
that report has been received The COM
mission is meeting in Buffalo.
r NssStevens of jamestown. N. Y nre-
sented ffFe legal side of the question m
the committee today from the point of view
that Congress has Jurisdiction to make anv
regulation 1t may deem necessary regard
ing Niagara river. There were three fun
damental principles involved he said first
the preservation of the nations boundary,
which affords a natural defense second
the preservation of the level of the wa ters
OF Lake Erie and the maintenance thereby
of navigation on the lake; third the eyer
else of an international obligation which
might be violated by the diversion of water
from the stream and give rise to interna-
tional complications.
Mr.. Stevens Illuminated these princIples
at some length, and drew the conclusion
that Congress should take broad view in
acting upon this case, and not let re-
stricted action curtaii the federal power
which might be needed in similar cases In
the future when the necessities of the
situation might be greatly enhanced He
appeared, he said, for some of the friends
of Niagara Falls.

TO FIX RESPONSE BILITY
SENATOR TILLMAN PROPOSES
ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.

Senator Tillman this afternoon intro
duced resolution in the Senate providing
for an investigation by the committee on
the District of Columbia into the Morris
case as follows:
THAT the committee on the District of
Columbia be directed to investigate the
circumstances of the arrest in the city of
Washington January 4, 1906 by the metro
politan police of Mrs. Minor Morris and
her carriage, attended by indignity and
cruelty, through the grounds and basement
of one of the public buildings and thence,
after being thrown violently into a cab, to
the house of detention, and her incarcera-
ton for four hours on a charge of disorder
iy conduct, and later of insanity.
And also to investigate the manner and
result of inquiry made by Mai Richard
Sylvester, superintendent of metropolitan
police into the facts of the case, and to
inquire whether said investigation was fair
and unprejudiced and ali the impartial and
available witnesses examined.
Whether said superintendent undertook
to make an investigation by the use of de-
tectives and secret service men concerning
the previous life and reputation of Mrs
Morris.
Whether he procured and made use of
statement of one II. B. Weaver, NJ. d. who
falsely pretended that Mrs. Morris had been
a patient of his in AsheviIle, n. c. two
years ago.
Whether there IS any police regulation in
the city of Washington which requires that
any person arrested shall not be released
until taken to police headquarters and there
detained until a police Inquiry is instituted
and ended.
And, especially to inquire whether the
said superintendent of police and one of
the chief witnesses against Mrs. Morris
have since received recognition by the ap-
pointment of near relatives to office and
whether any laws should be adopted by
Congress for the better regulation and i'm
provement of the police force of the city OF
Washington"
In introducing this resolution Senator Till
man asked that it be allowed to go over un-
til tomorrow, when he viii speak upon II
and viii endeavor to have 1t passed by the
Senate
The last paragraph of Senator Tilman's s
resolution, it is understood, relates to re-
cent appointments of the sons of Major
Sylvester and of Mr.. Elmer E. Paine to be
cadets at West Point. These appointments,
it is said, were made on the eth of Febru-
ary

ADMINISTRATION MUcK-RAKINa
Senator Tillman on the Police Work
in the Morris Case.

Washington Correspondence New York Herald.
Charging that there had been too free use
of the administration muck rake sn an
effort to discredit the character OF Mrs.
Minor Morris in order to justify the action
of Benajmn F. Barnes, assistant secretary
to the President, in ejectlng her from the
White House. Senator Tiiman led the fight
today against the confirmation of Mr..
Barnes as postmaster of Washington In the
secret session of the Senate.
Senators Culberson and Clay. democratic
members of the post office committee join
ed Mr.. Tillman in demanding that there be
full investigation into the charges lodged
against Mr.. Barnes growing out OF the MI s
Morris incident
Republican senators who favor Mr.
Barnes confirmation took the position that
all the indignities suffered by Mrs. Morris
were outside the White House, and with
what happened in the White House
grounds, IN the patrol wagon and In the
police station Mr.. Barnes had nothing to do.
very well" said Senator Tillman, ''seme
one must be responsible. and II this young
man who has been promoted for maltreat-
ing woman is lodging behind the police
force of Washington we will have to inyes-
tigate the police force intend to offer
resolution in the open Senate providing for
such an investigation tomorrow, and
serve notice that the last has not been
heard of this thing, nor will the last be
heard of IL for a good many days
1.-The administration may be able to shut
off an investigation of Mr.. Barnes, but it
cannot shut Off a discussion of what Mr..
Barnes has been guilty Of His confrna-
tion is not an immediate possibility at
least"
Refusal of the republican members of the
committee to investigate. after they had
once determined to do so, was severely
criticized by democratic senators.
They charged that 1t was plain case of
attempted whitewashing, and declared the
refusal in the face of the assertions made
by Mr.. Barnes friends that he desired all
the facts in the case brought out, to be
without precedent. To confirm Mr.. Barnes
without full investigation would, 1t was
argued, be injustice to him as well as
to the Senate
Senator Carter tried to justify the. COM
mittee on the ground that all the testimony
showed Mr.. Barnes had only done his duty
and II there had been any fault others We're
responsible for It.
The Senate discussed the case for an
hour and half, but did not take final ac
ton.

MIR. HERMANN'S TRIAL.
To Occur Not Later Than the First
of June.


of June.
Representative Binger Hermann of Ore
gon, indicted for the alleged destruction of
official records connected with the busines ess
of the general land office, will probably be
placed on trial in Criminal Court No l the
first week in June.
Justice Gould today denied the request of
United States Attorney Baker to have the
case, which had been set for trial last
Wednesday, postponed until fall Mr. Baker
stated that his reason in asking for post
ponement was that Attorney Heney. who
had practically the complete charge of the
case, had been compelled to leave for Cal
ifornia, where he had suffered great finan-
cial loss in the recent disaster
Attorney A. S. Worthington of counsel
for Mr.. Hermann stated to Justice Gould
that the defendant was anxious for a
trial. Counsel strenuously opposed the
motion for a postponement, stating that
there were several witnesses in the city
who live thousands of miles from this
city and whose testimony would be of
the highest value to the defendant. Mr.
Worthington informed the court that un-
less trial was allowed at the present
term these witnesses would not be avail
able on account of having returned to
their homes.
Justice Gould stated that 1t would re-
qutre a very strong presentation to have
the case postponed until fall He re-
murked that the case was not one which
involved intricate questions of law and
added that the government was not with
out the means of proceeding with the trial
because of the absence of any particular
counsel. Justice Gould further stated
that he would not designate any date
for the trial. but remarked that the first
week in June was as late a time as
would be acceptable to the court In
the meantime, the court observed, Mr.
Heney might have opportunity to get
his affairs in California in such shape
as to return and participate. in the trial.
