Strong Talk of Senator Hale.

Both Bacon and Mr.. Tillman referred
to Mr.. Lodge as the defender of the
cabinet members.
I think that on all matters submitted
70 the senate involving treaties, or even
the negotiation Of treaties" said Mr.
Hale, 1T was never intended to shut the
senate out Of participation. I do not
think the senate should stand dumb
in such matters, as some senators seem
to do.
Ut is said.' he went on. that we may
trust the executive. l think we NAV.
But suppose we should have an execu-
tive that we could not trust? What
would happen If such an executive should
find ii desirable to rehabilitate his own
fortunes or those of his party? What
in such a case, must happen If the sen
ate should be compelled to wait until
the mischief is done?"

Roots Indiscretion.

Mr.. Bacon Stated frankly that he had
been induced to offer the resolution by
the action taken by the senate on his
Moroccan resolution. He commented on
an article in the Washington Post which
told OF permission given by Secretary
Root to the writer to examine all the
papers relating to the participation of
the United States in the Algeciras
(Spain) conference and said he had no
doubt that the statements in the ar
ticle were inspired by the secretary of
state.
Mr. Lodge asked Mr.. Bacon if he was
prepared to say that the article was
entirely upon the authority of Secretary
Root.

Might Become Involved.

Concluding, Mr.. Bacon said he had
meant no reflection on the president nor
the secretary of state, both Of whom he
highly respected, but added that the
president, not being a lawyer, might
easily become involved in some matters
requiring legal discrimination, as evil

request, referred TO the COMMITTEES on for

Dodged the Issue.

Mr.. Bacon challenged Mr.. Lodge and
later Mr., Aldrich to obtain from Sec
rotary Root a disavowal Of that por-
ton of the article which he held to be
disrespectful to the senate. Mr.. Lodge
said he did not care to follow a sug-
gestion by Mr.. Tillman that he (Mr
LODGE call up Mr.. Root over the tele-
phone and ask for a disavoWal
Mr.. Bacon said that it was dispectful
for Secretary Root to withhold papers
from the senate and at the same time
display them to newspaper men Mr.
Tillman said he thought an explanation
due in order not to do Secretary Root
an injustice and called attention to the
fact that the secretary had not refused
the Moroccan papers for the reason that
the senate had not asked for them, as
the resolution had not been adopted.

Could Be Checked.

Mr.. SpOoner asked what could be done
at such stage. and Mr.. Hale replied:
I have no doubt if 1t was found that
the executive was taking advantage of
his power to commit the country 70 a
war policy the senate with the house Of
representatives could interfere and put
a check to his course.
/ don't believe" he said, that in the
present case the secretary of war will
allow the country to be involved and I
co believe that the conservative interests

with matters in which we have no con-
Germ: 1 cannot speak for the president
or the secretary of state, but I should
think that If the conference was to be
held now they would hesitate before
too far to recede at this stage The
danger is not from the president nor
from the secretary, but from the war
spirit Of this country
No Question About 1t.
Mr. Bacon expressed the opinion that
nine out of ten who had heard the de-
bate agreed with the position of Mr..
Hale, and he asked what would happen
If question involving serious political
QuCSlAOIAS arise ana the American
delegates should have the tie vote.
I'm such event" replied Mr.. Hale ct
believe that Secretary Root, backed nv
the president, would telegraph the dele
gates to withdraw from the Conference -
Mr.. Bacon responded that while all
might be safe under the present admin
istratiOn the important point is that a
great precedent is involved. The time
might come when bad men would be in
places Of responsibility, as it had in one
instance. when q man who WAS after
wards tried for treason had cast a de-
Gliding vote.
