GOES AFTER CORTELY0U.
'CuIbersOn Wants 10 Know whether
Delay Is Intentional.

Senator CulbeTson, of Texas, made a
move in the Senate yesterday intended
to rebuke Secretary Cortelyou for alleged
delay in replying 10 a resolution passed
by the Senate, February IS, at the in
stance Of Mr.. Culberson.
The resolution called for information
as to whether any national banks outside
New York City had complained to the
Treasury Department between October !
and November 10 that the New York
banks had failed to pay cash for New
York exchange or had refused 10 honor
the demand of the outside banks for a
return Of their reserves. The resolution
also called for all correspondence bear.
ing upon the subject.
The Senator from Texas, who has com
planned before in the Senate of the de-
lay in responding with the information
called for in the resolution. yesterday
proposed a resolution directing that The
Secretary of the Senate send to the
Secretary OF the Treasury a copy Of the
resolution Of February Is. to ascertain
whether the delay on the part of the
Secretary was intentional or due to mis-
take"
Senator Hopkins of Illinois. suggested
that the information Mr.. CuTberson de-
sired could be had by calling the Secre-
taTy up over the telephone Mr.. Hop
kins objected to present consideration.
and the resolution went over under the

NO OBJECTIONS FROM BRYAN
Pacific Northwest for Nebraskan
Says Visitor to Capital.
Oswald West, Oregon OfsicIsI, Scores
Detractive Statements, which
Might InJure Party.

Oswald West. a railroad commissioner
from Oregon, who has come to Washing
ton as a government witness in the Hyde
Dimond-B Benson land-fraud cases. said
yesterday that the reports that defections
from Bryan have taken place in the Pa
cific Northwest are false
The sentiment OF the Democrats" Mr..
West said. in all those States is for Mr..
Bryan. One hears no one else mentioned
Efforts to sidetraok the delegations will
prove fruitless. and there will be solid
representation ar Denver for the Ne
braska man.
The feeling is practically universal
there that if the Democratic party can
elect any one this year, that man is
Bryan. While there is a kindly feeling
for Johnson, and the people have a high
regard for him, they believe that he is
simply being used by the enemies OF
Bryan for the purpose Of preventing his
nomination.
Neither Johnson nor any other Demo
crat has the hold on the hearts OF the
common people that Bryan has.
''Nine-tenths Of the people one meets
and talks with are either Roosevelt men
or Bryan men. a majority Of them will
tell you that, If they cannot have the
one. they want the other.
THE plain truth is, that the whole pro-
gramme Of progressive legislation and
administration is at stake in this cam
paign Ii is an issue which cannot be
compromised. And II is significant that
the vest majority Of those who are SO
bitterly opposing Mr.. Bryan are likewise
bitterly opposed to progressive policies.
Furthermore, it is an even bet that when
you put your hand on an enemy Of Mr..
Bryan, you put your hand on an enemy
Of Mr. Roosevelt, and vice versa.
Again. 1t seems 10 me that Il is very
bad Democratic politics for those who
oppose Mr., Bryan to give utterance be
fore the convention 10 sentiments which,
in the event of Mr.. BTyans nomination,
would be quoted against him in the cam
paign, and which would nullify any of
their post-convention utterances If they
went on the stump 10 support the Ne
braska man. No one with a sense OF fair
mindedness denies the right of a Demo-
crat to aspire to and attempt TO get the
nomination for President. It would be
better politics. however, to forward the
several candidates. in a way not to
weaken the party, if Mr.. Bryan be noini-
mated"

Judiciary Committee VIII Make Two
Reports TO Senate.

The judiciary Committee Of the Senate
yesterday authorized Senator Knox to re-
port a bill intended to aid States in en-
forcing laws for the prohibition OF. regu-
lation Of the traffic in intoxicating
liquors.
The bill was reported by the unanimous
vote Of the committee, but at the same
time Mr.. Knox was authorized to present
the views Of the minority as to the con-
stitutionality Of the various bills pending
before the committee to give the States
control over interstate shipments Of In
tOxicating liquors as soon as the consign-
ments passed within the borders Of the
State 20 which they were consigned.
By a vote Of 3 to the subcommittee, OF
which Mr.. Knox was chairman, decided
that the State regulation Of liquor traffic
was the exercise of police power. and
that the Federal government could not
add TO or subtract from these powers.
When this question came before the COM
mittee the vote was to s. When IT
comes before the Senate there will be an
interesting debate on the State rights
question
The bin as reported simply throws ad-
ditional restriction about the shipment Of
liquor in interstate commerce. &C. O.

to be illegal.

HOTEL ST. REGIS, NEW YORK
Americas Finest Hotel
COMFORT WITHOUT ExTRAVasAEcE

"It is difficult to imagine a more de-
lightful place in which to live than ths
ST. Regis. New York" This was the
expression OF one who has been a fre-
quent guest at this famous Fifth ave-
nue. hostelry during the three years Of its
existence. It is the universal sentiment
Of all the thousands who have happily
enjoyed It's hospitality.
For particular people there is no place
Ike the st. Regis. There Is an indean--
able something about its service and its
refined interiors which imparts comfort
and restfulness and makes one feel at
home. It's beautiful interiors might be
duplicated in other creations for public
entertainment, but the peculiar charm OF
attractive yet unobtrusive ministration so
characteristic Of Hotel St Regis is one
which guests do not soon forget. and
which is found nowhere else IN so high a
degree.
When you next visit New York make
the St. Regis your home. BY so doing
you win add greatly to the pleasure OF
your stay. You will also realize that the
silly reports once current about exorbi-
tant charges and muitimiHionaire exclu-
siveness have no foundation.
The cost Of living at the st. Regis Is
no greater than at other frst-elass
hotels. and. considering its exceptional
accommodations and service. 1t is even
less. This is shown by the fact that a
beautifully furnished room Of large size
may be had for 81 cay. or the same.

WOOLLEY CALLS MR.. LILLEY.
Correspondent Expresses Some Doubt
as to representative Veracity.

Some life and humor were lent 10 the
proceedings OF the submarine investigat-
ing committee by alternating shifts 10
the witness chair between Representative
Lilley and Robert ". WooIley, a New
York World correspondent.
1t was a matter Of much earnestness TO
them. and their repeated requests TO be
recalled TO succeed each other in giving
evidence, one IN fiat contradiction or the
other. resulted in some emphatic decla-
rations which the committee could not
accept as parliamentary.
After the hearing was concluded the
alteration was continued in the corri-
doris. Mr.. Woolley was still indignant.
and expressed bis serious doubts as TO
Mr. Lilley's veracity.
Bloodshed, however was aveFted, and
the belligerents separated with more than
an exemplary exchange Of courteous
language.

Word has been passed around the House
that men high in administration circles
extract a great deal Of delight over the
position in which the Republicans have

House for encouragement in keeping up
the filibuster. In the cloakrooms yester-
day heated arguments were on tap in an
endeavor 10 place the responsibility for
the conduct of the Democrats during the
past week.
John Sharp Williams denies emphatical-

approved It. On the other hand, Repub-
licans declare with some show Of temper
that the President knew nothing of It in
advance, and, in fact, strongly disap-
proves Of it.
