When Senator Bailey appeared in the

peared at the bar of the House and care

of Inconsistencies, contradictions, and
absurdities in some of the conclusions
reached by his enemits lie denounced
as false any charges that he had ever
served tho Walters Pierce Oil Com
pauy, OF auy other trust He admitted,
ss he has heretofore, that he has had
business relations With IL. Clay Pierce
as an individual, but said the matters in
controversy all occurred months after

Oil Company into Texas, and had no
connection with that affair. Mr.. Bail: y
denounced ]. p. Gruelt, who furnished
The documents, in scathing language,

Aner the Kaiser.

Berlin, Jan. l5.-As the supreme ei-
fort of the opponents Of the kaiser to
elect Reichstsg hostile to his policy, a
remarkable document, entitled "The
Kaiser on Trial." was published today,
just one week before the voting in the
election.
Under tie nom de plume "Truth"
the writer declares the Issue is whether
the German people will decide to mani
fest confidence In their absolute ruler,
or give power TO the elected representa-
tives OF the nation as in all other Euro
pean countries except Russia. The
writer urges voters to strike crushing
blow at Imperial absoluiism and shake
Oft the reprOach Of being the real strong
hold of reaction.
Today a pamphlet summarizes with
crushing force all the hostile pronounce
ments OF the past few weeks and builds
out of them a damning indictment of
Kaiser William.
II points out grave inconsistencies OF
the kaiser'e system Of government.
The gist OF the whole indictment in
the pamphlet Ia that The Kaiser has
been gigantic failure
The pamphlet concludes with az ap.
peal to the German electorate TO record
striking vote against the Kaiser. A
Reichstag majority hostile to the Kaiser,
it asserts, will be the FIRST nail 10 the
coffin Of absolutism. Owing to the Wig
orous language of the pamphlet, it was
printed 10 Switzerland. IL was widely
circulated, "a on it the socialists are
largely depending for the election of

surprised today at themselves voting to
instruct their conferees to insist upon
an incfesae of their salaries that for five

no business. Speaker Csnnon's gavel
had no effect on the reviving members
and he settled back into his chsir to let

largely to the fact that within The month
