MR.. ADAMSoN'S DENIAL.
What He Didn't Say and What He

Representative Adamson Of Georgia CAME
out today with an emphatic denial of the
interview recently credited to him. In which
he was quoted as saying that he was FORM
ing q combination of members of Congress
to keep down prices In the hash belt
Can you put something In the paper just
as I give 1t to your" asked Mr.. Adamson
of The Star man at the Capitol. because II
you can't don't want you to try, but IL you
can wish you would
Having relieved his feeling to this extent
and being assured that his statement would
be used without change. Mr. Adamson
handed over a typewriter slip containing
the following:
Representative Adamson says the inter-
view going the rounds imputed to him
touching living expenses in Washington.
while creditable to the creative genius Of
the reporter, is a most free and liberal
translation of anything he eyer said on the
subject. He was never conscious of an in
foundation, in fact is that one of his
reasons for opposing the salary increase
was that in his opinion, 1t would not afford
the expected relief from financial shortage.
BY exercise OF moral courage members
might regulate the method and prices of
living and make candid replies to outside
demands which would curtail the call for
contributions to civic, religious and chari-
table causes
without change In condition which ex-
haust the salary, whatever the amount, in
crease would be followed by increase of ex-
actions In Washington and demands from
elsewhere out OF all proportion to the in
crease of salaries. He says the details and
additions. with embellishments are the
work OF the reporters imagination"

WOULDN'T BE LECTURED
SENATOR BURKETT PRESSED
QUESTION In THE SENATE.

The army appropriation hill was taken I'D
in the Senate today. Mr.. Burkett reserved
a point of order against the provision au-
thorizing railroads to grant reduced rates
or free transportation to the government
for persons or property or Officers and
enlisted men," 1t was pointed out by him
that this language would permit all en-
ployes of the government to accept reduced
or free transportation, while the provision
was intended to refer only to the transpor-
tation of troops.
The amendment was passed over and the
reading of the bill was continued.
An amendment authorizing the Secretary
OF the Interior to exchange public lands for
private lands when private lands are need
ed for enlarged military organizations went
out on a point of order.
h Senator Garter contended that it gave too
much leeway for the swapping of lands and
said abuses might arise.
The adoption of an amendment authoriz-
ing the Secretary of War to supply militia
of the various states with arms and equip
ment used by the regular army, created
considerable discussion. Mr.. Burkett asked
for Information as to the number of rifles
the government had in reserve
II will say, replied Mr.. Warren, that
when the Spanish-American war broke out
we had not powder enough to load once
enough to arm 10000 reserves, until we ap-
propriated money and went abroad and
bought the guns"
II submit that is not reply to my cues
ton. The senator Is not stating anything
about the guns we now have in reserve and
II the same condition exists now the Secre-
tary of War has not done his duty" replied
Mr.. Burkett.
Does the senator think 1t would be
good thing for me to stand here and tell
to the country and to foreign nations just
how much powder and ball we have on
hand?' asked Mr.. Warren.
1T am sorry the senator shows irritation"
said Mr. Burkett, and again he said his
question had not been answered. Continu-
ing, he said:
''The senator's replies have been short
and in the form Of lecture. The sena-
tor cannot lecture me on the character
OF questions I ask. and want to say
now that while am In this senate will
ask what questions please. SO long as
conform to the rules"
Mr.. Warren deprecated the misunder-
standing, but Mr.. Burkett sat down, say
Ing, THE senator can answer or not, as
he sees fit"
Mr.. Warren said that to the best of his
knowledge the government had no re-
serve rifles except those tn the hands of
the state militia, and the incident closed

NEW JERSEY MEN HEARD.
Opposed to Closing the Passaic and
Hackensack Rivers Daily.

A large delegation OF New Jersey men,
headed by Representatives Parker and
Wiley. and representing Newark, Passaic.
Paterson and other cities In that state,
had hearing today before Secretary Taft.
who is considering the request of the Penn
sylvania, Erie and Lackawanna railways
for permission to close all bridges over the
Passaic and Hackensack rivers for two
hours at the time OF heavy railroad traffic
In the morning and two hours during the
afternoon rush.
1t was urged by the New Jersey delega-
tions that the closing of the bridges would
be a death blow to the great water traffic
between the New Jersey manufacturing
cities and New York harbor because of the
shallowness of the rivers and the necessity
for getting heavy traffic through in the
brief period of high tide.

then went to the house and got her
overtures for Couples Reunion.
Dallas Bowman said to the representative
OF the detective bureau that since he had
been separated from his wife he had been
summoned to the ONCE of her attorney, n.
A. Ballinger, to see II some compromise
could not be reached between them. He
said he made the suggestion that she return
to him and that they make another start
at keeping house together. but his wife. he
said. would not consent to accept his offer.
Then. he said, he concluded he would seek
legal separation, and 1t was for the pur-
pose of seeing her that he followed her last
night. Bowman said he and friend named
Dalton were together, the latter being here
on visit. and he went to the New Willard.
where he saw his wife dance with Russell.
About the time the dance was over he and
his friend hurried to the 18th street house
to witness the return of his wife and Rus
sell. Bowman said he went to the door
and that when he opened the door he was
grabbed and struck upon his head with
what he. thought was an iron bar. Then
his wife participated in the affair, he stat.
ed. and his hat was smashed.
Capt. Sullivan called at the home of Mrs.
Bowman this afternoon to see what the
latter would say about the affair but she
did not care to be interviewed at that time.
