Millions for Famine Relief.

st. Petersburg, February A bill ap-
propriating s3,56SG0 for famine relief, in
addition to the sum already voted by the
Douma for this purpose, has been sub
mitted to the cabinet and will soon be in
troduced in the Douma. The estimation of
the amounts needed for the relief during
the coming year are increasing steadily
on account of the unfavorable news re-
garding the condition of the winter crops,
which are reported to be almost a total
loss.

Williams Speaks.

Mr.. Hepburn, he declared, had threat
ened the big four of the House-the
speaker and Messrs. Payne, Dalzell and
Sherman-when he asserted that the
House would pass the remedial legisla-
ton the President had recommended. He
hoped TO see the standard of rebellion
raised by Mr.. Hepburn and he said he
hoped to see some of the things spoken
of in the message enacted into law. He
was not a hero worshipper and therefore
he would consider the message without
any regard to the Hon. Theodore Roose-
welt, from whom the message emanated.'
II shall consider it, he said, apid loud
democratic applause, Just as If 1t had
been message emanating in the past
from Grover Cleveland or William Nc
Kinley, or a message which more nearly
resembles in its substance one to ema-
nate in the future from the Hon William
j. Bryan
Mr.. Williams declared that he was not
one of those who were afraid of radical
in the White House. He discussed brief
ly the history of railroad rate legisla-
tion and insisted that it was of democratic
origin.

MississippiaO Comments Upon
Presidents Message
OMISSIONS ARE POINTED OUT
Mr.. Williams Praises Certain Parts of
Roosevelt's Utterances, But Shows
Wherein He Fails To Get At
Root of Real Issues.

Washington, February 4.-President
Roosevelt's message to Congress on the
relations of capital and labor and of cor
porations and the public again was the
theme of discussion of the House of Rep
resentatives today SO great was the de-
mand for time that general debate on the
Indian appropriation bill, which is the
pending business, was extended to tomor-
row for four hours. Interest in today s
proceedings centered in a speech by John
Sharp Williams, the minority leader, who
while lauding the President for some of
his sentiments, expressed the belief that
others were dangerous. Mr.. Williams
spoke for nearly two hours. His remarks
on the financial question prompted y
lengthy discussion of that subject by Mr..
Hill of Connecticut, in which he opposed
the Aldrich financial bill.
Other speakers were Messrs. Bonynge
OF Colorado and Macon of Arkansas, the
latter urging the passage OF his bill pro-
hibiting dealings in futures in agricul-
tural products.
Mr. Williams of Mississippi was recog-
nized at once, and taking for his text the
Presidents recent message, which was
thoroughly discussed yesterday, said he
disagreed with Mr.. Hepburn's statement
of yesterday that the message met with
the approval of the entire American peo-
pie. Indeed he said, there are things
in it sensational, federalistic and danger
Gus to the American public.

A Faulty Message.

Returning to the Presidents message.
Mr.. Williams said ii was not deserving
of an all around eulogy upon the part
of any man who loved democratic nstruc-
tions. There were, however, good things
in it.
He did not think, he said that the DEM
ocrats would indorse that part of the
message which recommended restoring to
the railroads the power to pool. or which
advocated federal licensing of corpora
tions, or which declared 1t useless to at
tempt to punish ''the men, flesh, the
beings" who violated the law in the
name of corporate authority. AS to the
corporations, Mr.. Williams declared that
they would never be properly punished
until you visit punishment upon flesh
and blood from whose brains and by
whose acts the violation takes place."
In this connection he referred to Paul
Morton, formerly Secretary of the Navy,
and asked: Did he get out of the
cabinet to go to a prison after con-
fession of a long violation of these very
laws? No. he said, but instead he
jumped into a lucrative position in pri-
vate life, with a letter of commenda-
ton from the President of the United
States"
Touching on Finance.
Mr.. Williams insisted that a corpora
tion as such could not commit a crime
and therefore he advocated furnishing the
responsible head of the corporations
Punish one he said, land you will not
have to punish any more"
Mr.. Williams touched upon the finan-
clal questions and referred to the AID
rich bill as the railroad bond credit
strengthening bill" Again reverting to
the Presidents message Mr. Williams
received more applause from his side Of
the chamber when he said its omissions
were more significant than its commits
sions. .'He has talked" Mr.. Williams
said, about predatory wealth and rich
and powerful criminals and how i'm
portant 1t is to shackle cunning, and yet.
addressing the republicansl, with the
ances about putting works of art wood.
pulp and paper on the free list, he
has never raised his voice against the
very poison that lies at the heart of
your entire system"
"The President" he continued. ''has
spoken of rotten business methods, but
now" he said, ''he comes forward and
reads us a lesson. Not only does he
leave out the central corrupt and cor
rupting evil. and states the socialistic
influence of 1t all, but he forgets to
tell us why. with regard to the things
he does mention. that he did not mention
them in 1901. 1902 and 19OS.'
More Time Given.
Mr. Williams was granted an extension
of time a part of which he devoted to a
discussion of the financial situation. He
agreed that If given the power the first
thing the democrats would want to do to
prevent panic would be to strengthen the

1t is the opinion of Col. William Young
blood of Alabama, who returned to Wash
ington today after two weeks stay in
that state, there is absolutely no chance
for a Taft delegation to the national con-
vention. Colonel Youngblood says that
the Taft men are entirely confined to
the federal officeholders. He says SEN
ator Foraker of Ohio is the leading pres
idential candidate in the state, with
Speaker Cannon a close second. That
the Taft men will be unable to control
