WASHINGTON, March 20.--More
criticism Of President Roosevelt was
INDUCED in the House today when he
was roundly denounced by Hardwick
Of Georgia, for failing to send Con-
gress NIL the information regarding
corporations which has come into his
possession. The President. however,
found a vigorous defender in Mann,
OF Illinois, who asserted that the
President had acted with the utmost
good faith in sending 10 Congress all
the information that had come to
him. The discussion arouse over a
resolution by Hardwick TO require the
President to supply the House with
all the data so far as obtained by the
bureau OF corporations. The resolu-
tion was tabed l4S 10 lis. Certifca-
ton of the appropriation bill was tax
eli up and in the course OF the debat
Bartlett, OF Georgia, denied the claim
Of the Republicans for the credit OF
the authorship of the Railroad rate

Bring Pressure to Bear Upon
the Administration.
THE CIVIC FEDERATION BILL
Sherman Anti Trust Law and Other
Subjects Mentioned in Presidents
Messages Will Not be Sent to Con-
gress Before Introduction of Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 20.--It Is
said at the White House that the
Presidents proposed message in the
matter OF the recommendation OF the
President looking to legislation
amendatory to the Sherman anti
trust law and other subjects mention
ed in the previous messages is not
to be sent to Congress before the
introduction of the civic federation
bill by Hepburn. No explanation
whatever can be had from any official
source for publication respecting the
reasons which have brought about
this decision not to send the massage
to Congress. 1t is believed, however,
that the explanation is to be found in
the stimulation Of public interest in
the legislation to be dealt with in the
message caused by very active prop
Uganda instituted by the labor element
and pressure brought to bear by
that element directly upon the admin
istration and upon Congress by the
labor chiefs who have been in confer
ence at Washington within the past
few days. The legislation asked by
the labor people goes far beyond the
limit which the PRESIDENT has fixed
in his own mind as proper at this
time and has suggested to the admin
istration leaders the necessity for
as far as possible the
appeals which it is certain will be
made to the mass OF organized labor
through their various organization

HALE MAKES SPIRITED PLEA.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Dur-
ing the consideration o ia measure
by Hale, who made a spirited plea
for the auxiliary navy, declaring that
without auxiliaries our navy would be
dependent upon foreign countries, and
that in case OF war we would be help
less. Newlands also spoke in need
Of the auxiliary ships.
Hale pointed out that the battleship
fleet now on its way around the world,
accompanied by but nine American
colliers, against 2S foreign, said.
The people do not realize how help
less this feet is without golfers; that
they are liable to be called away at
any moment Of need by the foreign
government
Hale said the war with Spain was
with a weak country on our own
coast, ut was very different thing
from war with Japan"
Newland's amendment authorizing
the construction of 27 auxiliary yes
sells, was rejected.

the publication OF the annual report
Of that body. The report only covers
the year ending June so last but BY
taking into account the present prices
OF the securities there listed, the ex-

through the tremendous shrinkage in
security values since that date has
been figured. A large part OF the
estimated $s,000,000 loss is in bonds
which have declined heavily since last
summer.
The general education board was
Incorporated in 1902 with federal
charter and its $42,00O,0O0 of assets

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Mar
n.-lnstcad Of walking out OF the
university in sympathetic strike the
Stanford students in a mass meeting
last night voted unanimous to submit
to the faculty student affairs commit.
tee a formal expression OF regret and
condemnation OF the conduct OF their
fellow students last Thursday night
This, the leaders believe, will clear
the student body OF the charge tina,
has been made that 1t Is upholding
the disorderly parade on that occa.
sion.
The committee which has been
representing the undergraduates on
the negotiations with the faculty will
present this resolution to the faculty
committee today trusting there may
follow as a result a reconciliation be-
tween the committee and the student.
This manifestation OF sober student
sentiment, il is hoped, may eventually
lead the faculty to reconsider the
cases Of all the men who are now
suspended and in danger OF suspen-
sion. Practically every man in the
university attended the meeting in the
assembly hall last night. President
Murphy, of the Associated Students,
presided, and struck the keynote Of
the evening when he said that both
sides would do well to admit that
some wrong had been done and he
added that il would be only right for
the students first to make amends
promptly and decently for the Of
lenses committed against the peace
OF the university.
The formal apology reads as fol-
lows, "The associated students of
Stanford University realize that GER
tain things occurred in the parade
last Thursday night which are
causes for sincere regret. We wish
to condemn most strongly the in
suits that were offered to any indi-
vidual and to express our sincere re-
grets that the same were offered. We
wish to condemn as breach OF uni
versity discipline, the action Of the
men engaged in the parade in invad-
ing the library and memorial court,
These things were done without ma
lice Or evil, intent and are absolutely
contrary to the saner judgment Of
the student body"
The students now await the next
step Of the faculty committee which

confessed TO the police tina. he had
committed the murder because he was

four years.
Mr.. and Mrs Willoughby last
evening had attended q social at the
Park Place NJ. Il, Church, where both
were prominent workers. Mr.. VIII

class. After the social they visited
his brother, Leroy Willoughby. and
then returned home. There quar-

While Mrs. Willoughby was asleep he
chloroiormcd her and then shot her
behind the left ear, causing instant
death.
After shooting himself, Willoughby
dragged himself downstairs to the
basement, opened the side door so
as to make II appear that burglars
had committed the deed, hid the re-
volver in the wall OF the basement
and then telephoned for doctor.
When the police we're notified they
were informed that burglar had shot
both Mr.. and Mrs. Willoughby, but
when the officers arrived theyyat once
concluded that il was murder and
attempted suicide, and later obtained
a confession from Willoughby.
Willoughby made the confession
while he lay in bed and in the pres
ence of DR. Charles H. Lemon and
Detective Dennis Sullivan and al
nurse. At first he denied he had shot
his wife, bu, when the police showed
him that the burglar theory was inn
possible he confessed.
Il married my wife 20 years ago,
said Willoughby Il did not love her,
but married her mostly out OF sym

life has never been happy one.

In This Case They Are Dismissed
as Falling Short Of an i'm

NO OPPORTUNITY or DEFENCE
II His Judicial Acts in the Future Are
Marked by Rigorous and InHexible
Harshness These Charges VIII Be
Taken Into Account.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 20-Im-
peachment proceedings will not be
instituted in the United States Senate
against Lebbeus R. Whitley, Judge Of
the United States Court for China,
as a result of the charges Of misbc-
havior in office brought against him
by Lorin Andrews and other Ameri-
can lawyers resident in Shanghai.
The report of the special committee,
consisting of Representatives Moon
OF Pennsylvania, Webb OF North Car
olina and Dickens Of Michigan, ap-
pointed by Speaker Cannon to de-
termine whether the charges were
based upon facts sufficient to warrant
impeachment of Judge Whitley to-
day submitted its report to the House
Committee on the Judiciary.
This report is in the nature OF a
verdict, holding Judge Wiley guilt
less Of the bad motives necessary to
legal cause for impeachment, but
finding him guilty; through more by
forceful inference than direct accusa-
tion, of high-handedness and harsh
ness and some serious mistake in the
conduct of his court.
The investigation Of the special
committee followed the introduction
in the House by Mr.. Waldo of New
York of memorial comprising 2o
distinct charges made by Mr.. An
drews and his colleagues. In the re-
port of the committee an exhaustive
review written by Chairman Moon
and concurred in by Mr.. Webb and
Mr.. Dickens, each Of these charges
and the real facts relating thereto, as
brought out by testimony taken, are
judicially discussed and disposed Of
and the conclusions reached are as
follows:
"The conclusion of the committee
adduced from the memorial from the
examination of petitioner and from
our construction of the precedents of
impeachment trials in the United
States, is that the actual facts charg-
ed in the said memorial, even though
established by competent legal evil
dence, would not justify a conviction
of Judge Whitley upon charges of i'm
peachment before the United States
Senate and would not therefore war
rant presentation by the House of |
Representatives of such articles of /
Notwithstanding this
finding, the investigation of the case
has made it clear to us that the |
character of this court, the extraor-
dinary power given BY law to the
Judge, the fact that it is separated
several thousand miles from an ap-
pellete tribunal with broad ocean in
between, presenting OBJ
stacles that burden the constitutional |
right Of review with expense, delay
and hazard unknown to any other
court, justify the people of the United |
States in demanding Of this Judge a |
temperate exercise Of his great
power
