Senate Democrats Begin
Attacking Treasury Policy;
Republicans Avoid Issue

Under the leadership OF Senator Gull
berson the Senate Democrats today
showed a strong disposition TO insist
on probing into the financial operations
of the Treasury Department. 1t was
made clear that a sharp clash was
likely between the Republican leaders
and the Democrats over the resolutions
OF inquiry which Senator's Clay and Cul-
berson introduced last week These res
olutions ask for information concern
ing the deposits IN national banks, the
Issue OF certificates OF Indebtedness and
the issue Of Panama bonds.
Senator CulbersOn called UP two reso-
lutions he had pending as to Treasury
operations after the introduction of bills
this morning, and asked TO consider
them Immediately. Senator Allison OBJ
jected to their consideration because
Senator Aldricn, chairman OF the FL
nance Committee was not present, and
asked that neither resolution be con-
sidered until his return tomorrow. Sen
ator CulbeTson reluctantly consented TO
let the resolutions go over. Senator
Clay's resolution went over until tomor-
row on objection from the Republican
side
1t Is understood to be the Republican
plan when these resolutions are taken
up tomorrow to ask that they be re-
ferred to the Committee on Finance
committee The Democrats viii object
vigorously to their reference TO the FL
nance Committee, and Will insist on
their immediate passage

TILLNAN SCORES
FINANCIAL POLICY
South Carolinlan Would
Know if Relief of Money
Crisis Was Legal.

Senator Tillman OF South Carolina
Jumped into the ring In the Senate
today. He began to score up the fnan-
ciaI pcIicIes OF the Administration, and
showed al or his old-tIme disposition
to make trouble for the President and
the Secretary Of the Treasury.
Mr.. Tillman introduced two sets Of
resolutions instructlng tho Finance
Committee o investigate the course Of
the Treasury in various recent affairs.
He will speak on these probably tOmor-
row.
The first resolution called for = re-
port Oh whether the issuing of clearing
house certificates was under authority
OF law, whether the certificates are sub
1ect to tax, and If certificates issued on
cotton, wheat and tobacco could be
used as money.
The second wanted TO know
whether the issue OF Federal certifi-
Gates Of Indebtedness was for the pur-
pose Of borrowing money to meet pub
lie expenditures, and, II not. whether
there is any warrant OF law for the
issue; whether the Issue of Afty million
of bonds of the Panama canal loan was
required TO "defray the expenditures
on the canal. and whether there IS any
people and business interests OF the
country from the issue of unlawful
money. II clearinghouse certificates are
such. and to prevent the Illegal increase
of the public debt In time OF peace"

torch to property, were killed by
officers early this morning. Soldiers
are guarding the city, and a search

Citizens are assisting the officers

made difficult by reason Of the fact
that the night riders always wore

They never ventured alone or in

NAVY STIRRED UP
BY PROMOTION PLAN
Officers Doubt if Advance
ment by Selection Will
Improve Efficiency.

Naval circles generally are much
stirred over President ROOsevelt's pro-
2osal TO change the present system Of
promotion by seniority in the navy and
to substitute promotion by selection.
The Presidents desire TO keep the navy
in the highest state of efficiency at all
times is recognized but officers doubt
the practicabihty OF the plan TO eIimi-
nate the unfit and substitute the Eft"
until the method by which this can be
successfully accomplished is SHOWN.
It is feared that promotion by selec-
ton in any form would result IN favor
itism. jealousy. and discomfort. thus
ieading TO ineniciency. instead Of ef-
ficiency, The younger officers favor the
plan, as II gives them chances Of rapid
promotion.
It is the belief of the President that
an officer is better physically 1T at fifty
than ne is at the retiring age of sixty
two, and he should be trained as a rear
admiral before the time comes for his
retirement. Especially IS this true, he
believes. in time of war, when II IS ap-
parent that an officer commissioned TO
take command Of a feet should be expe-
rienced and not compelled to learn the
duties thus imposed upon MIN in tho
face OF the enemy.
The President partially followed out
this new policy in the assignment of Of
ficers 70 take the Pacific cruise, and the
action was generally approved, as the
older officers were willing to make
way and give the younger, who were
better fitted to stand the strain, a
chance.
Already, IL is whispered, there is talk
OF favoritism and pun in assignments,
and the result Of the new policy IS be-
ing watched with interest.

TWO OF FOUR MEN

TWO members OF a gang Of alleged
plckpOcketS and professional crooks
who, the police say, have criminal rec

country, were arrested in Georgetown
yesterday afternoon by Central Office
Detectives Barbee and Vermilion- Two
other members Of the gang escaped,
the detectives assert, just as they were
preparing o commit thefts on a Cabin
John Bridge car.
The arrest OF the two men is regarded
by the police as the most important
catch made in Washington in several
months, IS the authorities believe them
responsible for several street car rob
berries during tho last few days. The
police think they may also have sorre
knowledge OF the other recent bold
thefts.
The men give the names Of John Car
penter, thirty-seven years old. a ma

STORM CUT HALF
MILE PATH FOR MILES
Crops Are Destroyed in Rudolph
and Sieel...Windews Wrecked
in Catholic Church and School.

The rumor which was current on
the street Monday that the village
| of Rudolph was visited by a destruc-
tive storm Sunday night, was founded
upon more facts, than could be as
certained at first.
1t can be defnately stated at this
time that the storm which gathered
in the north Sunday night Hteraly
cut swath in the Towns of Rudolph
and Sigel. 1t spread over an area
about a half mile wide, and cut the
standing crops off short to the ground
and in its path left practically no stand.
ing crops. Potatoes, corn, and in fact
every growing thing was LITERALLY
driven into the ground, and from this
source alone there has been probably
loss reaching into the thousands of
dollars.
In the village of Rudolph, the
Catholic church and school house
which stands on the hill, were badly
wrecked, the windows ard doors being
almost demolished by the hail which
accompanied the severe down pour of
rain, and the high wind Out houses
were tipped over, and large trees
stripped OF their branches
Those who witnessed the storm,
state that the down pour of rain was
the greatest ever seen in that village,
and the wonder is that there was not
greater amount of damage done

KAUDY MFG. Co.
SUCCESSFUL
Old Officers Reelected, And
Treasury Stock Sold.

The Kaudy Mfg Co. held it's annual
stockholders meeting in the Wood
County National Bank, Monday after
noon at 3 o'clock. Nearly all of the
stockholders were present. G.. j.
Kaudy, president and manager of the
company, made 1his annual report
which was wholly satisfactory. 1t
being the first year of their business,
it required nearly six months of the
time in which to make the necessary
improvements in enlarging and equip
ing the factory, so as to increase the
capacity. On this account the net
profit was not as large as it otherwise
would have been. Nevertheless the
showing was wholly satisfactory to
the stockholders.
1t was decided, and the officers were
authorized, to sell $500 of treasury
stock, most of which was then and
there taken by the stockholders pre-
sent. This was done for the purpose
of employing more help and increas-
ing the capacity and output.
The old directors: Nessrs. T. j..
Wood, J. A. Cohen, E. Oberbeck, Geo.
Halverson and G. J. Kaudy were re-
elected. The directors reelected
the following officers: President and
manager G. J. Kaudy: Secretary Geo.
Halverson: and Treasurer E. J.
Wood.
This company expects to do larger
business the coming year.
