OUT OF CANNON
Missouri Democrat Tires of the
DeSpotiSm of House of
Representatives.

Washington, Jan. 24.-An attack on the
power of the speaker was made in the
house of representatives today by Mr.
Shackleford of Missouri, during the con-
sideration of the urgent deficiency appro-
priation bill. He said Speaker Cannon
was the ''ablest, boldest champion of au-
tocracy this age has produced" and de-
clared that the speaker exercised "a
greater despotism than exists in any mon
archy in Europe"
Speaker Cannon at this juncture en-
tered the chamber and amid applause
took a seat in front of Mr.. Shackleford
who asserted that before any bill could
pass you must bend your noble bodies
forward in proper pose, fold your hands
and say, oh, Lord. Uncle Joe, thy will
be done and not mine 3"
He challenged Speaker Cannon ito rise
in his place, not as speaker, but a mem
Der of the Illinois delegation, and tell us
how and when it was he shouldered the
responsibility for the legislation that was
TO be here enacted by simply becoming
moderator of this deliberative assembly,
Speaker Cannon laughed
Mr.. Shackleford protested against the
policy of lone man power and in violation
of the law" and urged the members TO
break down this autocracy and the rules
in order that the peoples representatives
may do the things they want DONE

The Herald Not Sold to Anyone

The Republican yesterday morning published story
that Samuel NeWnouSe and E. A. Wall of this city had
bought The Herald from Senator w. A. Clark in New York.
This story is authOrtavey branded an absolute false
hood" by Mr. Cark'S New York office
Last evening the main reporter of the Republican, in
an effort to verify the published report of the Sae asked
Anna Eva Fay the medium at the 0rpbel if it was true.
Miss Fay was unable to confirm the story. While The
Herald has no desire to critCiSe so punctOuS contem-
porary as the Republican, it really believes that Mr.
Shoots paper should have consulted Miss Fay in the first
place before publishing anything.

CHEAP LUMBER IN SIGHT.
Manufactures Vote to Knock Off
So Thousand.

Portland. Ore. Jan. PA special to
the OregOnian from Vancouver, B. c.,
says:
At meeting of lumber manufactur-
ers held here today, it was decided to
reduce the price of rough lumber 50
per thousand, clear 81 and shingles 10
cents. There are immense stocks of
lumber on hand at the present time, and
nine-tehths of the mills all over Brit
ish Columbia are closed. The situation
was undoubtedly forced by the banks
insisting on a reduction of overdrafts,
and also because the American mills
will undoubtedly cut prices and sell
heavily in the northwest provinces of
Canada just as soon as the market
opens there at all. There are approx
imately 300. 900 feet of lumber now
on hand in British Columbia mills.

Fish STRIKES
At HARTMAN
Points Out What He Considers
Great Evil in Utah and New
Jersey Statutes.
FIGHT OF MAGNATES GROW
OPEN SOLIclTUDE IN BEHALF OF
THE DEAR PEOPLE,.
FIGHT OF MAGNATES GROW

Chicago, Jan. 24.-"The great ques-
ton of our time which presents to the
American people a tremendous prob
lem for solution. and one to which their
attention is now being turned TO be-
cause it is an evil of very rapid
growth, is the monopoly of trade and
transportation brought about by stock
holdings of one corporation in an
other"
This statement is made in the brief
which Stuyve5ant Fish and his asso-
ciates filed in the superior court yes
terday in the injunction suit which
they are prosecuting TO prevent Ed
ward H. Hartman and his friends
from voting at the annual meeting of
the Illinois Central road, stock which
is owned by the Union Pacific and by
the Railroad Securities company. The
brief is a reply to the brief prepared
by the defendants. They declared that
decision against them would disrupt
many of the great corporations in the
country. In reply to this statement
Mr.. Fish and his friends frankly de-
clared that they hope it will have this
effect, and that the great majority of
the American people are entertaining
the same hope. 1t is expected to be the
dominant purpose of the now famous
Illinois Central railroad injunction
suit to make it possible for the people
to rid themselves of grasping monop-
oily.
Express Sentiment of People.
1--WE express, we believe" declares
Mr.. Fish and his friends, 1.-THE senti-
ments of the great majority of the
W haf will
go for the compliments. and that it
will be the entering wedge which will
finally dissolve all these InOnopolistic
stOckholding combinations and confinc
the piratical corporations of New
Jersey and Utah to operations within
the limits of the states which created
them
The attention of the court is called
to the fact that government has al
ready struck one effective blow at the
vicious system in the Northern Sc
curities case which broke I'D one of
Hartman and Hills schemes to con-
troll parallel and competing lines Of
railroads, and that it is delivering an
other blow. in the Standard Oil case.
Strikes at Utah Statute.
The opportunity which the brief as
serts. is presented to the court to do
great public service, is thus stated:
This suit represents TO the court of
Illinois the opportunity to join as a
pioneer state in this righteous crusade
against predatory corporations and TO
declare, which is a manifest fact, that
the Utah statute of 1907. which gives
to Utah railroad companies power to
own and control the stock of every
transportation corporation by land and
by sea in this country, and in all par
allel and competing lines outside of the
state of Utah, is a practical attempt to
evade the Northern Securities case,
and sets forth a policy which every
other state in the Union will use its
whole power to strike down"

SHRINKAGE IN BUSINESS.
American Smelling Company Ready

(Specias to The Herald.)

Boston, Jan. 24.-It is rumOred that
the American Smelling company may
be called upon to provide the whole or
a part of the next dividend on pre-
perred "B" stock of the American
Shelters Securities company under it's
guarantee II is understood that the
American Smelling company's bust
ness shows a decrease of something
like so per cent, the most pronounced
shrinkage the company has expert
enced in its history. This has given
rise to the rumor that it will have to
draw upon its own surplus to pay the
full per cent on the preferred "B"
stock. The street now takes it for
granted that there will be a reduction
in American Smelling company COM

SNOW RETARDS
THAW'S TRIAL
Expert Witnesses for the De-
tense From Europe Are
Unable to Land.

New York, Jan. 24-The binding
snowstorm which swept New York to-
day caused the first serious Interrupt
ton of the second Thaw trial. 1t put
an embargo on practically all the ship
ping in the lower bay, and prevented
the big steamer Adriatic from reach
ing her dock. On board the liner are
four physicians and a trained nurse
from Europe, who Mr.. Littleton de-
clared in court, are important wit
nesses for the defense, and whose tes-
timony he desired to place upon the
record before propOunding hypothet-
zeal questions to the three experts who
will swear that when Harry K Thaw
shot and killed Stanford White he was
so mentally deficient that he did not
know the nature or quality of his act
or that the act was wrong. The re-
quest for an adjournment until Mon
day, made upon the opening of court,
was granted by Justice Bowling.
Long Question About Ready.
Mr.. Littleton promised to have his
long hypothetical question ready i'm
mediately after his few remaining
witnesses of fact have testified on
Monday, and unless Mr.. Jerome's
cross-examination of the experts is I'M
expectedly long, the defense will rest
on Monday. The prosecution will pro-
coed on Tuesday with its rebuttal case.
and should not occupy more than a
day and a half. The sur-rebuttal by
the defense will be brief, and in spite
of tOday's delay the case should end
by Friday or Saturday of next week.
The witnesses who are to land from
the Adriatic are expected to tell of al
legged irrational outbreaks by Thaw in
Europe long before Evelyn Nesbit
came into his life. The district attor-
ney tried to secure the names of the
witnesses from Mr.. Littleton today,
and there was a lively exchange of
words for few minutes, ending with
the identity of the newcomers as much
of a mystery as ever.

BRYAN LAUDEO

Lively Politics in Congress in
Which Hitchcock is

WHY PARKER WAS WEAK
REPUBLICANS TRY TO STIR UP
DISCoRD AMONG DEMOCRATS.

Washington, Jan. 24.-While the ur-
gent deficiency appropriation bill was
under consideration in the house today,
Mr.. Hitchcock of Nebraska delivered
political speech, in the course of which
he attacked certain statistics of General
c. H. @Gr9sVenor of Ohio, regarding the
political outlook. His remarks were de-
voted mainly to a plea for William J.
Bryan for president. He spoke of the
candidacy of Judge Parker and de-
clared that it was not a case in which
his pers0 III strength was put to a test.
His. weakness he said, was the
weakness of the electromagnetic weak
hess of the general who was leading
toward the rear and not toward the
front"
Bryan Loyal to Parker.
In order to hurt Mr.. Bryan, his enc
mics hal used letters written before
Judge Parker's nomination, said Mr..
Hitchcock, but no one had pretended
that Mr.. Bryan had not Loyalty support
ed Judge Parker. He declared that Bry-
an received 100, 600 more votes in Ohio
in 1900 than Parker received in 1904,
notwithstanding Bryan had as his oppo-
nent the popular Ohio president, Will

Judge Parker was a New Yorker, he
polled only about the same vote in
New York that Bryan polled.
There seems he said, ito be a sys-
tematic conspiracy in high places
among Republicans posing sometimes
as the friends of the Democratic party
to misrepresent and distort the facts re-
garding Mr.. Bryan's attitude toward
Judge Parker. Bryanism,' he added,
'1nsteadaof being the bane of the DEM
ocratic party, is it's strength for the
present and hope for the future"
Mr.. Hitchcock became involved in an
animated discussion with General Kei-
fer of Ohio as to the accuracy of the
figures of General GrosVenOr.
James Would Like to Know.
Mr. James of Kentucky interrupted
with the statement that he had seen it
charged that Senator Foraker said that
President Roosevelt was prostituting
the selection OF officials under the fed
eral government for the purpose of
beating him out of Ohio and giving il
to Taft. Is that true or false?"
General Keifer's response was that
he was not responsible for what was
said in the newspapers. Continuing, Mr..
Keifer declared his surprise over the
circumstances that the Democratic
members applauded mention of the fact
that III the two campaigns of Mr.. Bry-
an that gentleman ran ahead of Judge
Parker, whom he referred to as the
poor, old judge
