BEVERIDGE REPLIE
STRONG DEFENSE OF PREsI-
DENT. ATTACKED BY TILLMAN.

Senator Beveridge of Indiana late this
afternoon made ringing reply to the
speech of Senator Tillman on the cur
rency question. in which Mr.. Tillman Sc
verely attacked the President today. SEN
ator Beveridge's speech was strong de-
Tense Of the President.
As soon as the Senate had agreed to the
resolution calling upon the finance COM
mittee to investigate the manner Of MAX
ing loans by national banks. which was
the resolution upon which Senator TILL
man had just finished speaking Mr.. Bev-
eridge took the floor. He had been highly
entertained, he said. by the picturesque
speech Of the senator from South Caro-
lima. for whom. he believed, there was the
greatest love and respect on the repub-
lican side. but he thought it was strange
that this tribune of the people" should
refer in his speech to the Ignorant
masses" and those poor. simple souls
II meant republican people, gTowled
Mr.. Tllman.
Senator Beveridge then took direct ex-
ception to the statement by Mr.. Tillman
that the speeches of President Roosevelt
had been similar to those of President
Johnson. against whom impeachment pro-
ceedings were brought. He said there was
references Of President Johnson and the
brave addresses of a statesman" of Mr..
Roosevelt.
Senator Tillman broke in to insist that
all he wanted to do was to show the
"cowardice" OF the Senate today COM
pared to it's tyranny in Johnson's day.
To this Mr.. Beveridge retorted by say
ing that the difference Is that President
Roosevelt. has the confidence of the people
and President Johnson did not. Mr.. Bev-
eridge declared that what the senator
from South Carolina called subserviency
bor uyith
ideas, which are those Of the people.
He declared with much vim that the
United States Senate is subservient to no
power in the world except the power Of
whether or not he would have repealed
any of the great laws passed in the
last seven years by Congress. all of which
he said were recomme nded by the Presi-
dent.
..The President stole these things from
our platform" shouted Mr.. Tillman.
And the senator ratified the theft" re-
piled Mr.. Beveridge. to which remark Mr.
Tillman made no reply.
Senator Beveridge declared that the
senator from South Carolina found him
self when he attacked the President in
company with the very stock gamblers
and wrongdoers Of the country whom he
had just denounced.
respects to William Jennings Bryan, to
whom he referred as Mr. Tillman's
Peerless leader"
He asserted that the senator .from
South Carolina unfortunately belonged to
party which is about to enter upon a
great campaign without a single issue of
the opposing party against which his
party has voted in the past
During this exciting political debate
senator's and employees of the Capitol
crowded into the chamber. and the gal
leries were SO crowded that persons were
occupying the aisle steps as seats There
was continual laughter and the Vice Presi-
dent had to do large amount of rapping
to keep order.

mits Report to Commissioners

To consider the question of remedylng
conditions in public school buildings. re-
garded as dangerous in the event or nre,
it was learned today special meeting or
the board of education will probably be

matters are pending and the board mem
bers believe they should be disposed of at
once.
Members of the ways and means COM

schools who have charge of estimates for

mendations to be submitted to the Com

in the recent report of Supt. Stuart.
From statements made by the Commits
sioners. 1t is believed they will transmit
to Congress the recommendations for fire
protection, with request for the money
needed.
Another important matter to he con-
sidered is a report on bill introduced
in Congress providing for medical IN
spection in the schools. The bill re-
uuires the inspection of each school every
day it Is in session. and provides for the
appointment of nurses to administer to
the needs of children taken sick during
school hours. The board is expected to
outline it's views of the features of the
bill and of the necessity for such law.
Report of Fire Chief.
After spending more than week in
specting school buildings in the District.
with reference to precautions against fire,
William T. Belt, chief of the fire depart
ment, submitted his report to Commits
sioner mcfarland today. He says he did
not find conditions which would warrant
alarm or uneasiness. "All of the schools
I visited he explains, "have wide corri-
doris and Railways and iron stairways,
except the Tower School, which has
wooden stairwayS.'
Mr.. Belt directs particular attention
to the fact that in some of the schools
use of the fire extinguishers. and the
latter were found to be in bad condi-
ton as regards cleanliness.
Should Have Extinguisher Charges.
Every school building should carry a
supply of extinguisher charges on
hand" it is added. land. the extin-
guisher should be thoroughly cleaned
at least once every two weeks, and I
suggest that the janitor of each school
be assigned certain specific duties with
reference to fire extinguisherS and other
appliances in event of fire
The buildings inspected were the Prank
lin, Thompson, Central High School. Wal
ZACH Tower. Peabody. Garrett, Henry.
Polk, Gales. Eastern High School and the
Manual Training School for Boys and
Girls. Aside from his general report.
Chief Belt makes a detailed report as to
each school Fire drills were given for
his benefit and he states that they were
highly satisfactory. The longest time
consumed in emptying any one building
was one minute and fifty seconds, and the
shortest time was one minute and ten
seconds.
