TRIBUTE TO JOHNSON
STORM or ORATORY CAUSED BY
 GARDNER.
Said Appropriation for Cemetery Was Merely for Purpose of Perpct- uating Grave of the Im-
 peached President.

Washington Feb 2s.--over Monu- ment Hill. near Greenville. Tenn, the last resting place of Andrew Johnson. a storm of oratory broke today while the House in committee of the whole was considering the sundry civil bill. The place was made national ceme- tery a year ago and there Is para graph in the budget carrying $32 900 for a superintt ndent lodge, roadways. walks and enclosing walls.
 Mir. Gardner of Michigan, member of the committee on appropriations moved that the paragraph be stricken out of the bill for the reason that there were only four union soldiers buried there. He said that the ap- proprlation was really an ingenious way of taking care of the grave Of Andrew Johnson.
 This objection brought into the de- bate MT. Brownlow of Tennessee, q nephew of Parson Brownlow who rep resents the district once represented by Andrew Johnson. He spoke earn estly against the motion of Mir, Gardner and told the story Of what East Ten nesseR had done for the union army. The Congressional District of which Greenville IS the center, said MT, Rrownlow, sent mort men to battle for the Union than any other Con
  they wer- one hundred mics within the Confederate lines.
 Passing to a discussion of Andrew Johnson and his contemporaries, Mir. Brownlow said amid great applause:
 "I desire to say right here that in my opinion Andrew Johnson was the greatest patriot of the civil war.
 "Browniow. Maynard and Nelson stood shoulder to shoulder with John son in his fight to preserve the union and retain the old flag" said Mir. Brownlow, but he expressed the opin- ion that after they did not deserve the credit that Johnson did because they were Wbigs and had been edu- cated along the line of the preserva- tion of the union, while Johnson had been Breckinridgc and States Rights Democrat.
 MT. Gardner's motion was defeated in A vast chorus of noes Inmedi- ately afterward on motion of Mr Ed wards of Kentucky, the committee ap- propriated $12Ooo for Mill Springs National Cemetery.

STANDARD OIL CASE.
Decision Handed Down In Tennessee

Decision Handed DOWN In fenneesee
 Anti-Trusf Law.
 Nashville. Tenn, Feb. 23--In the case of the Standard oil Company and C.. D. Holt vs. the State of Tennessee, in- volving the constitutionality of the an ti-trust laws. the Supreme Court today reversed the case as to the Standard oil Company, and approved 1t as to Holt.
 The Standard oil Company was in- dicted on the charge of making an H. legal contract with one g w. Love, tc control the price of coal oil in viC.stton of the antitrust laws of Tennets : and was fined $5,000. The indictment con- tained two counts--an unlawful and malicious combination for the purpose of destroying legal competition In the sale of coal oil
 The first count was agasnst the com pany and the second, which contained q similar charge to that contained in the first. was against the local agents of the company. O'Donough Ruther- ford was agent at Gallatin. They were required to report to J D. Conner ai Nashville. who directed the business in the State. The company had no com. petition at Gallatin. when an agent of the Evansville oil Company visited the l town and sold car load of oil at IA i-2
 cents per gallon.
 Holt went by direction to Gsiiatin visited Mfr. Love. who ordered from the Evansville Company. secured the coun- termanding of $. w. Loves order ta the Evansville Company. as well as that of other orders given the same com pany, upon promise. it was alleged. to give Love 100 gallons of oil. When the i Evansville oil reached Gal;atin. Love and others who had counterrnanded their orders. refused to receive ir The Evansville company ceased to try tc make further sales at Gallatin. and the Standard oil Company thereupon is sad to have increased their price to 14 1-2 cents per gallon. MT. Conner disap- proved the giving away Of the oil at Gallatin.
 In the case of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, vs. the United Mine Workers of America. the Supreme Court today affirmed the decree Of the Chan cellor. holding that the mine workers
 have a right to use peaeeable means. but no right to resort to violence or in-
 limitation. The case grew out of the recent mine troubles in Marion County
 of thls State.

Pope Believes All Future Oyertures
 VIII Be Useless.
 Rome, Feb. 23--The Vatican author ities consider that the negotiations for the lease of the churches have been broken by the French government not having resumed negotiations on the same lines where Education Minister RrIand interrupted them but having added evidently to the instigation of Premier cfemenceau. new conditions. offensive to the church. which are not acceptable, especially the clause pro- hibiting the appointment of foreign priests as heads of parishes
 When the Pope received Monsignor Courad, Bishop of St. Annes today. he expressed the deepest regret at the rup- lure of the negotiations. Regarding the leases. he exclaimed; For q moment hoped that something might be saved. but now my disillnsion Is more bitter. than ever"
 The Vatican authorities are very fn- dignant at the new conditions inserted in the leases. and declare that NJ. CIemenceau has adopted secret coal ition with Deputy Meunier and Deputy Allard. who are determined to push the anti-Cathollc war to extremes. and who hone to suppress public worship in France.
 4 Vatican official said today that the condition not to accept foreign priests as heads of parishes might bs admit ted In exchange for some bencfit. but under the present circumsta sres this clause is grati.uous insult as 1t shows that the French government believes the bishops are capable Of introducing foreign anti-French element into the clergy. This we emphaticaliy repu- diate; the patriotism of the French clergy is traditional This condition is illegal. also. because the law of separ- ation gives the church entire freedom.

 Representative Cooke, who preferred protest against closing the investisa- ton placed in the record. after a hard light, but the committee is to make reply to 1t and Senator Bailey or his attorneys have the same right. Representative Cooke urged that there were still several witnesses he desired heard.
 According to the House resolution authorizing the investigation. the committee shall report their findings to that body. but as to the guilt or innocence of Senator Bailey it iR for the entire membership of the House to decide. Two reports will no doubt he made. one by the friends and tho other hy' the opponents of Senator Bail. ey on the committee.
 The Senate committee will meet Mon day morning and the question to close the investigation will then come up before that branch of the committed
 Senator Bailey will probably leave during the next few days to be present in Washington March to take the oath of office. The Bailey adherentn on the committees will make an ef- fort to finally close the investigation so far as the committees power goes, before he leaves.
