FIXES PANIC BLAME
MIR. HANGLHN SAYS REPUBLICANS
ARE RESPONSIBLE.
Mr.. Hughes OF New Jersey, says Worlx-
tngman e. Going to Demand an
Account of This Adj
xpaenfwtrnfiOw

Washington, March 14.--Responsibil
ity Tor the recent financial crisis was
charged to the Republican party by
Mr.. Hamlin Of Missouri, In the House
of Representatives today.
AS had bean done BY numerous other
Democratic members during the present
session, Mr.. Hamlin refused to concede
that panies only occurred either during
a Democratic administration or az the
result % Democratic 1eElsl6tion. He
asserted that the facts disclosed Just
the contrary
Mr.. Hamlin castigated the Republic
cans for their failure. as he stated. to
provide remedial legislation on subjects
Qf, national importance. and he declared
that next November the voters OF the
country would have TO be reckoned
with.
Declaring that twenty eight millions
or more of laboring men OF the United
States Were looking to Congress for re-
lief, Mr.. Hughes IN. - advocated the
passage OF his bill amending the Sher-
man antitrust law so that IL shall not
be construed to apply to agreements
or arrangements between laboring men
made with the view OF lessening the
number of working hours or of in
creasing their wages. Mr.. Hughes ar
gued that so far as the original pur-
poses and objects OF the law were con-
cerned. IT. has been q conspicuous and
total faiiure.
In conclusion. Mr.. Hughes said:
In my Judgment. the American
workingman in the coming campaign
is going to demand of this administra-
tion and Of the Republican party. an
account of it's stewardship. He lie go
ing to demand to be told who 1t IS that
has betrayed him. He is going to ask
how II is that. with Hood of litigation
threatening him on one hand and a
flood of immigration overpowering him
on the other. the weapons on which he
relies to fight this unequal battle has
been stricken from his hands"
General debate for the day was closed
by Mr.. Hall Is. d., who urged the re-
peal Of the duty on lumber. While
maintaining that he was a protection
ist, Mr.. Hall said he did not favor this
duty in view of the rapid depletion of
American forests.

SUNDAY BASEBALL
City Attorney Boone Renders Decision
I'm which He Says Bell Playing
ON sabbath u Moral
Question.

Mobile. March lit is
almost certainty that the baseball
game between the Mobile and Philadel-
phia Athletic teams will be played to-
morrow afternoon without molestation
from city authorities, as City Attor-
ney Boone today rendered an opinion
to the Mayor in which he states that
according to the circumstances the
Mayor has no right to interfere.
In making his decision Attorney
Boone states that he is reliably In
formed that the sheriff. acting upon
his attorneys opinion. will not inter-
fere unless a warrant Is sworn out by
some one. As this 10 the case. says
Mr.. Boone. he sees no reason why the
Mayor should take 1t on himself to
cause the arrest of any one for playing
ball on the Sabbath, as 1t Is the real
duty of the sheriff. who has jurisdic-
ton over the County, and the terri
tory where the game will be played.
The City Attorney also states that
this question Is a moral one, upon
which religious bodies differ, and 1t Is
no onense against the personal rights
Of any citizen in reference to them or
their property. In conclusion Attor-
ney Boone states:
II hold that it Is your duty to act in
concert with and aid the State au-
thorities In enforcing State laws, but
that 1t Is not your duty when the State
officers decline to enforce State laws
unless warrant is sworn out, to go
ahead and disregard such action of the
sheriff, the executive oficer of the
State, and have arrests made. In 9TH
er words In my opinion. 1t is no part
OF your duty to enforce State laws
other than as the State enforces such
laws"

ciai. THE Senate Democrats. accord
ing TO latest developments, do not pro-
pose. IL they can help it, and they
think they can, to permit either OF the
Bills for the re- enlistment OF the
Brownsville negro soldiers to pass.
The Republicans who have. with
Democratic aid. stood by the President
IN his action, will not vote Of course
for the Foraker measure, which woHld
restore all the rights
of the discharged soldiers, and the
Democrats Will not, in order to enable
the administration to hedge ana re-
trace, support the bill the President
wishes passed.
The Democratic contention Is that
the soldiers, having been found guilty
and dismissed. should remain dis
missed.
The long and continued costly In
vestigation proved the President was
right in his action, else the Democrats
would not have Endorsed him in this
respect.
Under the same rules the Democrats
can block both measures even If they
could be outvoted in roll call.
The Republicans will be divided
among themselves and the Democrats
can ada to their discontinue. This
matter promises some excitement in

should be discontinued because the per.
sons affected were of high standard
Of civilization. He asserted that there
was a smaller degree of tlliteracS
among them than there was among the
people of Boston. The restrictions mao
proven "a constant and successful bar

fortune, C. e. Vail, a building agent,
threatened to prefer charges against
two city detectives yesterday, when
they interrupted a conversation at the

William LOTUS, said by the police to be

It developed that Lotus had induced
Vail to agree to place $4,000 on horse

that LOTUS would receive the first in

alleged acquaintance with the manager
