The Part Played by the Police.

From the New York American.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Senate to-
day listened to the first part of a speech on
the rate bill by Senator Daniel, a resolution
offered by Senator Tillman demanding to
know what the police did in the Mrs Morris
case and a threat from him that he proposes
to speak on his resolution tomorrow, the
speech promising to be full OF fire and
accommodation of recent White House meth
DDS.
THE coming attack of Senator Tilman, it
ts understood, is to be directed against the
White House. so that really the Morris IN
cident" and the Barnes case Will be
subordinated to his assault on the methods
CT the President.
The Senate wrangled for two hours this
evening in executive session over the nomi-
nation of Barnes for postmaster of WASH
ington but Mr.. Tillman carried his point
that there should be no vote on 1t until the
country had heard from him and the Sen
ate had disposed of the resolution he intro
duced today calling for Investigation by
the Senate District committee of the whole
affair, including the part played by the
police.
The resolution of Mr.. Tlllmau produces the
impression that appointments have been
made at the White House since the MOTIFS
affair" to suppress the facts and an inVesu-
CATION. 1t provides for an extension or the
Investigation made by the superintendent OF
police of Washington, directing the commit
tee to especially inquire whether the said
superintendent of police and one OF the
chief witnesses against Mrs. Morris have
since received recognition by the appoint
ment of near relatives to office"
The most interesting part of the raml1ca-
lions of the Morris case will be the ons-
cussion of the large number or policemen
held for duty at the White House, while, as
IT is charged, crime is rampant In the
suburbs" of Washington. Recently two stab
bing crimes were committed In the suburbs
All the police department could do was 10
assign one extra mounted policeman to the
vicinity. 1t Is asserted that while there Is
great need of larger detail for the work
thirtv-eight policemen are kept for duty at

REWARDS BESTOWED UPON
BARNES WITNESSES.

Washington Special to the New York Times.
WASHINGTON. May L. The forcible
election of Mrs. Minor Morris from the
White House by Assistant Secretary
Barnes. and the subsequent promotion of
Barnes to be postmaster at Washington,
Postmaster Merritt having been appointed
TO a Treasury Department post in New
York state is developing into scandal.
Today Senator T1llman introduced resolu-
tons calling for an investigation as to
whether the powers of the government have
been used to save Barnes by blackening
Mrs Morris reputation by means of per-
jured testimony.
Mr. Tilman demanded that the Senate
post Office committee investigate Barnes
before appointing him, and that 1t call as
witnesses the men who saw the election OF
Mrs Morris. The committee refused to DO
this but did produce testimony voluntarily
contributed by persons friendly TO Barnes,
and some testimony secured against Mrs.
Morris by the police department OF WASH
ington.
Mr. Tillman's resolution calls for an In
curry into the assertion that the sons OF
two of the Barnes witnesses received red
eral appointments ON February T. 1t also
calls for an investigation into the means
by which the testimony against Mrs. Nor
rs secured
1t is charged that Major Sylvester was
called on by the administration to secure
evidence against Mrs. Morris, and accord
ingly produced it. This testimony is said
to include. statement by doctor In
Asheville, n c., that he treated Mrs Nor
ris for insanity two years ago. Both Mrs.
Morris and her husband assert that they
we're never in Asheville in their lives, and
that the doctors statement Is entirely
false.
In Washington the chief of police is a
federal official, the District of Coiumbla
tNx-
President Tillman wants to find out II
the government has been using federal
policemen and secret service men to ruin
Mrs Morris reputation. He also wishes 10
ascertain why Sylvester's son was APP
pointed on February I to be a cadet at
West Point.

Mr.. Barnes of Washington,

From the Utica Observer
II now seems likely that Benjamin r
Barnes. nominated for postmaster at Wash
ington, d. c., may be confirmed without
any formal investigation Of his RESPONSE
bilby for and participation In the forcIbia
and brutal election OF Mrs. Minor Morris
from the White House. The Senate COM
mlttee on post offices and post roads held
a meeting on Thursday, and 1t was clearly
evident that 1t was the intention OF the
republican majority to block any attempt
10 compel an investigation. 1t was appar-
ent that the republican majority had its
program all mapped out, and that there
would be no deviation from II. 1t posi-
lively refused TO allow any witnesses to
be called whose testimony might be ad-
verse 10 Barnes, although it was clearly
evident that all the evidence before the
committee was grossly partisan-that II
was had solely from those who might be
expected to testify In favor OF Mr. barnes
The committee, voting on a proposition to
Investigate Mr.. Barnes fitness, stood TO
8. The four affirmative votes were cast by
Senators Clay, Culberson, Simmons and
Rayner. all democrats. The negative votes
were cast by Senators Penrose (chairman NJ
Proctor, Burrows, Scott, Crane, Fulton,
Hopkins and Carter.
Il was evident from the first that the
republicans were determined to block any
Investigation OF Mr.. Barnes. A subcom-
mittee had been appointed to investigate
the case of Mr. Barnes. This committee
consisted of Senators Carter, Burrows anu
Culberson. Two reports were submitted.
one by Senators Carter and Burrows. In IA
vor of no investigation, and one by Senator
Culberson, demanding an investigation. The
report by Senators Carter and Burrows was
brief, and made no attempt TO justify their
conclusion. simply declaring the views OF
the subcommittee against an investigation
There was no attempt to show that there
had been any investigation or interroga-
tion OF any person outside the White
House, and the persons examined were
those whose personal relations with Mr.
Barnes would render II very unlikely that
their testimony would be other than friend
ly to him.
Senator Cnlberson's report urged that
ever the facts are the Senate IL entitled to
