Warm Fight.

''Thank Grd Jhe~a are some members
on this floor who 80 not bow and
cTinge every tine a corporation whip Is
cracked over their leads"
This remark by Representative Sims
Of Tennessee. who Dp0sed the adoption
hy the House or the COnferees' report
on the street railway BILL is a fair
sample Of the heated debate which
lasted one hour today, when the report
was called u2- The report was finally
adopted by a vote Of l64 to p.
Chairman Smith. Of the District Com
ruittee, opened the discussion by saying
that he and the other House conferees
had done everything IN their rover 10
retain in the bill the provision for uni
versal transfers, but that they had
found II impossible 10 bring the Sen
ate conferees 10 agree 10 any such
clause. He warned the House that un-
less the cOnferees' report was agreed
10. there would be no street railway
tracks to the Union Station until next
session
Mr.. Madden of Illinois regretted that
The House conferees had found it neees-
sary 10 yield on universal transfers.
de said he had heard of the state
Affecting the street railways could get
through Congress without the approval
Of the street railway companies.
Madden Speaks Plainly.
This conferees' report provides for
/ supervision OF the street railway COM
panies by the Interstate Commerce
Commission" said Mr.. Madden. Such
supervision should be exercised by the
officials Of the District. To give IT to the
I Interstate Commerce Commission is an
/ insult 70 the intelligence Of this House.
/ The kind OF regulation we want Is clean
! cars and good schedules. Some Of the

/ this House should do is 70 make the
/ street railways see that the public has
/ rights which should be respected"
Mr.. Small OF South Carolina said he
/ would support the conferees' report, be

was 10 get the tracks extended TO Tn

we had hearings before our commit

why they could not give universe

HE KILLED A DEER.

On Tuesday Game Warden w. F..
Givens brought down five young fell
lows from the head of Williams fork
and took them before Justice San
derson with the charge of having
killed deer out of season. They
were Willie White, Oliver Taylor.
Leon Breeze, Willie Gerrish and V.
r. Tucker, and reside at Craig ard
vicinity.
An afidavit was filed in which it
was shown that I'll the boys were
minors, and thereupon the case was
transferred to the county court.

Wednesday the game warden took
the youngsters back to the Williams

A DELIGHTFUL RECITAL.

Last night at the Anderson Piano
store there was rendered by the pu
pills of Miss de la Matyr. the well
known instructor, one of the rarest
and most enjoyable piano recitals
heard in the city in many months.

Miss de la Matyr and the large num-
ber of pupils who took part. Every
number on the extended varied and
refreshing program was rendered in
n charming manner. In several of
the renditions four pianos were used.
The work of the young people last
night gave proof of Miss de la Matyr's
exceptional ability as an instructor.

HASKELL LOSES SUIT
FOR ATTORNEY FEES

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Saturday, Sept.
suit has been brought
against Gov. C. N. Haskell, treasurer
of the Democratic national committee,
and this time a Judgment has been
secured. The action was brought by
H. C. Meecham, lawyer at Fort Smith,
for $500 as attorneys fees. Two years
ago Gov. Haskell and l. Reeves, of
Muskogee, were promoting street ear
line at Fort Smith. Meecham was en-
ployed to get franchise from the city
council at Fort Smith. The street car
proposition was dropped when Haskell
got into the race for governor. Nee
cham sued for his fees and a Judgment
has been granted
About ten days ago a suit for s1100
was fled here against Gov. Haskell by
Muskogee hotel keeper, who said that
the governor owed him this amount foI
board furnished the governor and his
family. When Gov. Haskell announced
that he did not owe the board bill, the
hotel keeper invited the public to in
speet his books.

HOW FORAKER WAS FORCED
OFF THE REPUBLICAN STUMP

I Foraker sent copy of it to Johl
Hays Hammond, president of tn,
League of Republican Clubs, with tn,
following brief note:
Dear Sir.-I herewith enclose
self-explanatory letter that / have just
sent to William H. Taft.
very truly yours,
"JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER. -
Hurried Trip to Taft.
1t is related further that after
Crane had the conference with Dick
and Foraker there was a hurried trip
to the home of Taft on the part of
Crane and Dick, and that it was while
these two men were in conference with
Taft that Foraker dictated the letter,
withdrawing from Tuesday, program
1t was expected all day today that
Taft would issue a statement on the
subject. Great pressure was brought
to bear upon the candidate to have him
do so. 1t was believed by some of his
friends that it was absolutely neces-
sary for him to follow that policy.
Taft, however, preferred to await the
action of Foraker, believing that he
would do the proper thing in the mat
ter.
Dick was asked tonight for a state
ment, but he absolutely declined to
talk about the affair. He is the guest
of Foraker, and win remain here with
him until tomorrow evening, when he
expects to go to his home in Akron.
FOraker's explanation of the latest
charge made by Hearst that he receiv-
ed $4,000 from John d. Arehbold,
head of the Standard Oil Company, on
January %, 1902, revealed the fact
that Robert Wolf, present owner of
the Ohio State Journal, at Columbus,
when he bought the journal property,
prevented it from falling into the
hands of some friends of Foraker. The
Senator says he was acting as the
agent in a friendly way only, securing
the financial aid of the Standard Oil
but the deal fell through for
Foraker's friend, and Wolf got the
paper.
