PRESIDENTS FIAT
DEBATED IN SENATE
Promise to Governors Brings
Ont Protests.
JUST WHAT DID HE MEAN I
Bacon Thinks He Threatened to
Raid the Treasury, but Beveridge
Has Another opinion--SeyvIands
Bill Ordered Reported, bur Presi-
dent Appoint of"Continue.o .

It's a dull day in the Senate now when
no reference is made to the Presidents
tendency to fly IN the face Of the legis-
lative branch of the government. and yes
terday was not one of that kind.
Mr.. Bacon, Of Georgia, began the dis
cussion. and il hinged upon the remark
which Mr.. Roosevelt made to the COVER
nors and other delegates who gathered
at the White House Wednesday morning.
when he said tlat if Congress did not
provide for the perpetuauon Of the In
land Waterways Commission. ne would
himself find a way of doing so without
legislative assistance.
The sundry civil bill was under dis
cussion. Mr.. Bacon arose with a news
paper clipping in his hand. He read from
the clipping what the President had said.
and inquired of Mr. Hale. who was as
sisting Senator Allison, who was in
charge Of thu bnI if any appropriation
were made in the measure for the pur-
pose 70 which the Executive referred. Mr..
Hale replied that he thought the Senator
from Georgia would md an appropriation
for that purpose on page l43. After read
ing the section referred to. Mr.. Bacon
persisted:
WAS that all that was asked?"
Condemns Those Who Cheered.
Mr.. Hale replied that all that had been
included in the departmental estimates
had been allowed.
We are TO be congratulated. then.
Mr.. Bacon said. with irony. that this
work is to be done by authority Of law,
and not in violation Of law
Senator De3ew called attention to the
report that the governors and delegates
who had heard the Presidents remark
had loudly applauded the sentiment he
expressed The Georgia delegates. Mr..
Depew said. had been among those ap-
proving his declaration.
IF any representative of Georgia ap-
plauded the idea that the President could
use money not appropriated by Con-
gress," retorted Mr.. Bacon. 81 would not
hesitate TO condemn him as having done
a very improper thing"
Not the same Commission.
Mr.. Hale said he had not read the pa
pers containing the account Of the Presi-
dents statement. but he would repeat
that all that had been asked for any
waterways commission had been put in
the bill
What was in the mind Of the Presl-
dent I do not know, added Mr. Hale.
Il only know that the COMMITTEES has put
in the bill whatever has been submitted
to it in the estimates for any waterways
commission"
"The commission referred to here,
said Mr.. Bacon, who had again examined
the bill, is referred to as the Interna-
tional Waterways Commission. The
President. I think. referred to the Inland
Waterways Commission. I do not intend
to condemn the improvement of water
ways, but if I understand our theory OF
government, there Is no authority given
the President by law to use funds not
appropriated by Congress"
The President" said Senator Bever-

SUSPENDS PUBLICATION,
Catholic Review of New York Under
Ban of the Pope.

Catholic Review of New York Under
Ban of the Pope.
Washington, Sept. 18-It has just
become known in Roman Catholic cir
cles that a wholesale condemnation of
recent Roman Catholic publications
soon would be promulgated from
Rome. The first victim of Pope Plus
KS crusade against modernism is the
Catholic Review of New York, the Off
cial organ of Dunwoodie seminary and
hitherto enjoying the cordial support
and outspoken admiration of Arch
bishop Farley. The Review has sus-
pended publication and the number
containing articles specifically con.
demned by the Congregation of the
Index must be withdrawn from ortho-
dox Catholic libraries.
The current number of the Review,
which appears every two months, was
due Wednesday. But the editors sent
instead of the usual volume an intima-
tion that no more numbers would be
published and that those who had
made yearly subscriptions would re-
ceive the cash in lieu of the Review.
The Review was regarded as the most
scholarly and advanced publication of
the Roman Catholic church in this or
any other country.

CARRIE NATION CALLS
ON CANDIDA AT |
Latter Declines to Discuss the
Liquor Question.

Cincinnati, Sept. 1S.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation, without her hatchet, dropped
in to town and went direct to the Pike
street address of Judge Taft. The
judge himself admitted Mrs. Nation
into the spacious hall.
"You know me?" she demanded
without preliminaries.
The candidate admitted that from
the public prints he knew who Mrs.
Nation was.
"Well, I have come here to have a
discussion with you on the liquor
question: was her next remark.
"You will have to excuse me from
entering upon any discussion with
you," was Mr.. Taft's half smiling re-
ply. IN"
Whereupon Mrs. Nation began one
of her characteristic speeches against
the drink evil, not overlooking a con-
demnation of all those who did not go
valiantly to the work Of reform as she
believed it should be carried on.
Judge Taft was modestly backing
away and Mrs. Nation, seemingly
somewhat awed by what she was do.
ing, also backed her way out Of the
door and the interview was ended.

RESPONSIBLE FOR A
SERIES OF M|SHAPS
Dense Fog Prevails at Chicago
and Vicinity.

Chicago, Sept 1S.-A dense fog cov-
ering Chicago and it's environs handi-
capped transportation companies and
was responsible for number of acci-
dents in which two men were killed
and several persons injured. Through
passenger trains were slowed up and
suburban service delayed on all the
roads through the inability of train
men to distinguish signals. An inter-
urban car from Aurora crashed into an
elevated train on the Oak Park in
cline, injuring several passengers. Sev-
eral crossing accidents due to the fog
were reported, one peddler being seri-
ously injured by being thrown from
his wagon in collision with a street
car.
Two 1aboring men were run down
and killed by railroad trains obscured
by the fog.
An engineer and fireman were in.
jured when their engine and three cars
on the Chicago and Northwestern was
derailed by an open switch which the
engine crew could not see.
While the Duluth limited train on
the Chicago and Northwestern was
waiting for signal to proceed into
the city yards suburban train
crashed into it's rear end. Half a
dozen persons were injured, one seri-
ously, on the suburban train, while
those on the limited escaped with a
shaking up.
Towards noon the fog began to be
dispelled by the sun.

recovered his composure. Later he
returned and thanked the twelve
jurors one by one. Congressman
Laning will issue a statement within
. few days and will at once enter into
his campaign for reelection as con-
gressman Of the Fourteenth district.
Mr.. Laning was a director of the
Ohio Trust company, through which
his various financial matters we've ne
gotiated, and president of the Laning
Printing company, the plant of which
was recently burned. This company
did much Of the state printing. The
trial of Laning was held here upon his
own motion, he declaring that he
could not obtain a fair trial at home.
Together with ]. G. Gibbs, manager of
the Ohio Trust company, the con-
gressman was indicted on the charge
of misapplying funds of the latter
company and embezzling stock of the
Norwalk Savings Bank company. They
also were accused of loaning funds to
fictitious real estate companies, owned
In part by officers of the bank, it was
alleged, and used as "blind" to
cover personal loans.
