Washington, March 25--In the course
OF bitter denunciation OF President
Roosevelt on the floor OF the House Of
representatives today, Mr.. Stanley Of
kentucky compared him with Alexan-
ger Hamilton, whom he designated as
an obscure adventurer," and both OF
whom he said had profound contempt
TOT tne constitution and displayed ev-
erlasting impatience with its ra-
straints. The President was man
who reiished glamor ana who became
intoxicated by applause. On the other
nandS he said. MIR. Bryan had the re-
spect or the country as q statesman ana
was trusted as q man.
Apparently ignoring Mr.. stanley's re-
markA Mr.. Cocks Of New York. repre-
senting the Presidents District. de-
Tended the President against the re-
cent attack Of Mr.. willett. Mr.. Wi

AUTorsrs, CHARTER BOAT.

Seattle. wash. March 25.--L. n.
Gray, manager of the Steamship Cor
wan, which sails for Nome May 10. and
which enjoys the distinction Of being
the frst boat into the northern port
for the last six years, has received a
wire from the representatives of the
three leading autos in the New York
to-Paris race asking for reservations
for the men and machines on the YES
sci.
They want to charter the steamship
for trip from Nome to the Siberian
coast, and Mr.. Gray agreed to 1t. He
says that the ice on the Siberian coast
breaks up earlier than onS the Arneri-
can side, owing to strong currents
and Is forced norfhward Into the Arc
tic instead OF south as on the, east
shore. He expects to land the auto
mobilists in Siberian in June.

Hyomei Gives Quick Relief I'm Ca
taFrA Troubles.
Be wise IN time and use Hyomei at
the first warning of catarrhal trouble.
Do not let the disease extend through
the delicate. mucous membrane, grad
ually going from the nose to the
throat, thence into the bronchial tubes
and then downward until the lungs are
reached and you are in danger Of con-
sumption.
Hyomei is so uniformly successful in
curing this common and dangerous dis
ease that z. @. Fowler takes all the
risks and agrees absolutely to refund
the money II anyone uses Hyomei and
does not get relief.
Begin the use Of Hyomei today. and
you will soon find that the offensive
breath, droppings into the throat. dis
charge from the nose and all other ca
tarfhal symptoms are cured. The com
plete outfit costs but s1.oO. and q. G.
Fowler stands ready to refund the
money If it does not cure catarrh.

Little Girl Says She Was Knocked

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Ma-ch 26.-Judge Nc
Donald's court room was crowded to-
day, many of the residents of Sierra
Madre being present to hear the pro-
ceedings in the trial of Miss Winnie
Davis, who is charged with cruelty by
the Pasadena Humane Society.
Ada Webster, the nine-year-old child
who, it is charged, was severely beat
en- by her foster par ent, was the last
witness called by Judge Rossiter for
the prosecution and it was not until
nearly six o'clock that E. Hahn for
the defense finished his cross-eXamina-
tion.
The little girl testified she had been
whipped with a heavy stick, that she
had been struck on the head and
knocked down and that she had been
told the more sne cried the more she
would be whipped.
The arrest of Miss Davis followed
an investigation made several weeks
ago after the child had appeared at
school with a badly bruised face.
The trial will continue tomorrow.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, March 26.-All plans for
the transportation of thousands be-
tween pier and ships went awry to-
day because of the stiff cold wind from
seaward prevailing from early morn
ing until late tonight.
The sea as far as the eye could
reach was a mass of foam-topped bill
lows. Not since the great storm in
January has Santa Monica bay been
so rough as today.
Admiral Sebree's three big cruisers
rode at anchor with scarcely a tremor,
but the many small boats which came
to Venice expecting to reap a harvest
were compelled to lie in the lee of the
Kinney breakwater to escape the fury
of the storm.
So distressing were weather condi-
tions, the tennis tournament at the
Country club had to be abandoned.
The Sutton sisters braved the waves
to be guests of honor of the officers of
the cruiser Tennessee.
Tonight the skating rink and dancing
pavilion are crowded with sailors from
the fleet who are the guests of the
Kinney company.
Tonight the minstrel company of
the cruiser Tennessee gave a perform
ance at the Auditorium to big house.
officers of the fleet and beach society
people occupied boxes. The proceeds
go to the sailors relief fund.
The pathfinder fleet will weigh an
chor at 10 tomorrow morning for San
Francisco where after a short stay
they will depart for Seattle and other
northern ports.

SENATE MAY
OPPOSE BILL
Anti-5ettina Measure Passed by New
York Assembly, but Upper
House Is Expected to
Counteract

BY Associated Press.
ALBANY. N. Y, March 26.-The as
sembly this AFTERNOON passed by a de-
cisive majority the bills designed to
abolish the legal protection of gamb-
ling at race tracks in this state in ac-
cordance with the recommendation of
Governor Hughes in his second mes
sage to the Legislature. The senate bills
on the question are yet to be voted
rQOn.
The situation in the senate is still re-
garded as extremely critical. with the
indications favoring defeat of the bill.
There was a strong undercurrent of
persistent rumor that all but two of the
nineteen Democrats will vote against
the bills. and that the additional seven
Republican votes necessary to defeat
are safely pledged.
On the other hand Senator Agnew
and the other friends of the legisla-
ton profess to have pledges of more
than twenty-six votes necessary to
pass them. Neither side will give out
the list of senators upon whom they
are so confidently counting.

SERVES RESTRAINING
ORDER ON MAYOR
Attorney for Telephone Company
Visits Pasadena and Greets
Heads of the City
Departments
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, March 26-Attorney
pillsbury, head counsel for the Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph company,
was in Pasadena today to serve
temporary restraining order granted by
Judge James of the superior court and
copies of the complaint of the company
in a suit for a permanent injunction
against the city on all the members OF
the city council, the mayor city at
torney, chief o police, chief of the fire
department, city engineer, lighting su-
perintendent and superintendent of
streets.
During the conversation it is as
serted Mr.. Pillsbury took occasion to
declare against recent heavy fines as
sessed on corporations.
Speaking of the suit, Mayor Farley
said the city's position seems tenable
City Attorney Wood refrained from
comment, but expressed surprise it was
brought in the superior instead of the
federal court.
A feature of the ordinance which is
the cause of the suit and which should
have gone into effect March 81 at mid
night is a provision authorizing the
various city officials named to remove
and abate the poles and equipment of
the company on orders from the city
council.
