LODGE ON BROWN svILL AFFAIR
Republican Senator Favors tn
Warner Bill.

"HFucE bAlhs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The Browns
vile affair was discussed in the senate
today by Senator Lodge, who is a member
of the committee on military affairs, which
Investigated the charges that soldiers OF
the Twenty-fifth regiment "shot up the
town.
Mr.. Lodge remarked that he would make
no reference whatever to the report Of the
Investigation referred to by the president
in his recent message to congress.
The senate galleries were filled, very
many of the visitors being negroes. Rather
more democrats than republicans remained
in the chamber while Mr.. Lodge was
speaking. In accordance with his request
he was not interrupted while speaking.
In opening his speech Senator Lodge
referred to two questions to be discussed
In this connection, one relating to the
guilt or innocence of the soldiers and the
other to the bill presented by Senator
Foraker compelling the president to
restore these soldiers to the army.
He favored the Warner bill which allows
the president to restore the innocent to
the army whenever he Is satisfied that
any of them were blameless. He con-
emned the Foraker bill. which he said
attempts to force back into the army not
only innocent men, but men who were
guilty Of a serious crime. He made an ex-
haustive argument on the unconstitu-
tionality OF the Foraker bill, which obliges
the president to re-enlist those soldiers
whether he thinks they ought to be re-
enlisted or not. Such an act would be an
encroachment upon the constitutional
rights of the president. 1t would be
subversive of discipline in the army.

Prosecution in Hams Case Advance
This Theory.
STATES WITNESSES TAKE STAND
e. II. Andrews Testihes It, Jenkins
Hains Aided Brother to Fine
Annis and Protected Him
in Murder,

FLUSHING, l.. l., Dec. 16.-The theory
Of the states case, outlined today, to the
jury in the trial of Thornton ]. Hams,
charged with being a principal with MS
brother, Captain Hams, in the killing OF
William r. Annis, is that the defendant
was the master, MIND and leader of an ex-
petition to the Bayside Yacht club to en-
compass the death Of Annis All through
the presentation OF the states case, Special
Prosecutor White declared he would show
that Thornton had led the way and had
full knowledge Of the plans to kill Annis.
The story OF the staying of William E
Annis. as he sat in his catboat and was
riddled with bullets. was today made part
Of the record. Tracing the numbers of
the principals In the Bayside Yacht club
tragedy with the aid OF miniature iron
figures and models OF the float and the
catboat Pam, Edwin Andrews, a yacht
club member. showed under examination
how the army captain standing on the
floats edge held aloft the obscuring boom
and sails OF boat and shot the pub
Usher as he sat at the tiller.
There was surprise when It was learned
that John Tonning, a Swedish boatman,
who saw the tragedy, could not be To-
: Gated. District Attorney Barren said he
thought Tohning was in Sweden, but that
rothing had been heard from hin since
last September.
He is a most important witness for u.s."
said Lawyer Mcintyre, FOR through him
we would have shown hat he struck Cap
tain Hams after the shooting with a boat
book or something and to protect his
brother Hams drew his revolver"
The oross-examination of Andrews took
the major portion Of the afternoon and
Lawyer Mcintyre sought to develop that
Thornton Hams had said after the shoot
ing that he had tried to dissuade Cap
tain Hams from his act and that he would
hold him until the officials came.

Bill Providing for Enlarged Home
steRds sent Back to Conference.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Exeept for a
few moments spent in the transaction OF
routine business and the passage Of two
bridge bills, the house today devoted its
entire time to the further consideration
OF the bill to revise the penal laws of the
United States. The Garrett amendment,
which came over from last night and
which prohibited the sending through the
mails of information bearing on transac-
lions in futures was defeated by a de-
cided vote. Without opposition an amend
ment by Mr.. Houston. [Tenn.), was
adopted, making 1t an offense to deposit
in or ship through the mails intoxicating
liquors.
There was still pending when the bill
was laid aside an amendment by Mr.. Hum
phreys (Miss.) providing for the identifi-
cation of intoxicating liquors transported
by Interstate carriers. This proposition
caused extended debate today.
Bills were passed by the house today
authorizing the construction OF a bridge
across the Mississippi river at or near
st. Paul, MINI, and extending for three
years the time for the construction OF a
bridge across the Mississippi at 81. Louis.
The bill providing for enlarged home
steads was sent back to conference.

So, too. a wise ane just solution of the
problem of great, fortunes will enable us to
take q saner view Of railway and other
public service corporations. Undoubtedly
In the past their legitimate business has
been hampered by blind and needless
legislation. 1t is a question whether re-
bates, discrimination and other Injurious
practices could not rave been eliminated
by the enforcement of the provisions of
common law. And In trying TO remedy
these evils by new statutes we nave I'M
doubleday created other evils and greatly
hampered business. Railway men are the
best Judges of the methods of transacting
railroad business. The public had no in
terest in interfering In that province. All
that the public desires of the public service
corporations Is that they shall honorably
by law in return for the franchise which
these just and reasonable demands the
public will undoubtedly enforce. Efficient
service without discrimination and at a
reasonable CHARGE. these are the condi-
lions under which public franchises have
been granted and these are the conditions
the recipients of those franchises must
fulfill
The problem OF the supervision and re-
gulation OF public service corporations has
under the statesmanlike leadership OF Gov
ernor Hughes been satisfactory in the
state OF New York.

commission plan adopted under Governor
