Admiral Evans Congratulated.
PRESIDENT BLAMED
MR.. WILLETT HEAPS DENUNCI-
ALTON FOR PANIC.

Denunciation was heaped upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the House of Represen-
tatives today by Mr.. Willett OF New York.
Mr.. Willett insisted that the distressing
effects of the panic of 1907 still were be-
ing felt. "There seems to be- he said, "a
conspiracy of silence on the part OF the
republican members of the House on the
subject of the cause and effect Of the
panic"
Those members. he declared, were afraid
to attack the President for fear of his
| big stick" The President. he said, was
''reaping the reward of his own reckless
misconduct. He referred to 1.-The i'm
perialistic methods" Of the President as
evidenced by 1.-The un-American discharge
| of whole companies of American soldiers.
without trial, without proof of guilt"
of an African chieftain or Russian despot
than the command of an American Pres
ident.''
Mr.. Willett charged that President
Roosevelt had dome more than all other
Presidents and all other public men in the
history of the country to shake the con-
fidence of the people in our form of gov
eminent. and has done more than any
one in our nations history to destroy
legitimate business. shatter confidence
among the people and bring utter panic
into every counting room. factory. shop,
office and home in the land, and has ex-
hibited greater degree Of self-conscious-
ness and egotism, which are the natural
| results of power and f1attery, than any
President who has occupied the White
House."
Nevertheless he said, "the clarion
tongues Of >the great republican party
are silent; the peoples rights may be
| tra1npled upon. but party interests must
! be protected He characterized the
President as ''that great central deity"
and said that if the usurpations Of the
President passed unchallenged by the
people they would soon create the force
| of precedent Nov is the time" he ex-
claimed. land we are the people to watch
with jealousy such beginnings, to indig-
nantly attack them and if possible de-
stroy them"
In conclusion he said: Remove the
cause of the unrest. silence and ceaseless,
senseless clamor for spectacular effect on
the part of the man in the White House
and quiet will be restored"

GRANTS TO SIDNEY B|EBER
SENATOR CARTER REHEARSES
STORY OF LEGISLATION.
Refers to the Beneficiary in Terms
That Are the Reverse of
Complimentary.

Senator Carter of Montana obtained the
floor late this afternoon on a question of
personal privilege and began a long ex-
PLANTATION of how he came to learn of the
facts in the enactment of legislation
granting a portion of the public domain
along the Anacostia river to Sidney Bic
Der of this city. and of the various steps
by which Mr.. Rieber obtained the lots and
attempted to obtain others. Mr.. Carter
spoke with great elaboration and went
over the subject in great detail.
1t was during tie consideration Of a
bill relative to track connections with
the local navy yard by a subcommittee
of which he was chairman, he said. that
his attention was called by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad attorneys interested In
the navy yard bill to the legislation grant
ing certain lots to Mr.. Bieber over which
laid. Acting upon the suggestion of the
railroad attorneys, he said, he looked
into the facts.
Mr. Carter then detailed the history OF
the various bills granting land to Mr..
Bieber which history he gave in a re-
port several days ago printed in The
Star He called attention to the fact
that a House report with reference to one
of these bills merely stated that 1t
authorized the acquisition OF certain
it appear as if the government were to
acquire them.
Speaking of the bill introduced last
session whereby Mr.. Bieber was given
certain additional lots, Mr.. Carter said:
This individual returned in 1907, en-
boldened by success, determined to fol-
low the lines of little resistance"
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Car
ter declared that 1t might be justly
claimed that there was some form of
fraud in connection with the passage of
these bills. 1t makes no difference. he
said. how open these transactions were,
for the fact remains that Congress did not
know what it was doing.
Senators Gallinger. chairman of the Dis
trict committee, and Scott. chairman or
the public buildings and grounds COM
mittee both of which committees reported
to the Senate some of this legislation,
made brief statements showing that their
committees in the press of business. had
no knowledge of anything irregular IN the
legislation. 1t was made to appear Dy
Senator Carter that practically all of the
legislation in question originated in the
House.
A point of mo quorum was made dur
ing his remarks by Senator Bacon in or
der that as many senators as possible
might hear them. and the chamber was
unusually we'll filled and the greatest In
terest was shown in what Mr.. Carter had
to say. 80,
Toward the conclusion of his remarks
Senator Carter said some extremely ain-
complimentary things about Mr.. Bieber.
