CONGRESS HITS AT ROOSEVELT.
House Names Committee to Act on
Part of Message that Offends.


A fight between the President of the
United States and Congress, which
some seemed to think may exceed any
breach since the famous Andrew John
son impeachment case, began Friday.
1t was precipitated by the President
attacking the integrity of the members
of the House and Senate. Action
against the President was taken in the
Honse when committee OF four was
appointed to deal with the objections
able portions of the message When
the President, in his message, de-
clared that the main reason for Con
gress curtailing the scope of secret
service operations was because the
members themselves feared investiga-
tion and that the amendments benefited
only criminals, he stirred up the trou-
BILE. While the more deliberate Senate
was quietly planning a rebuke to the
President, the House acted openly.
The resolution providing for the re
buke' committee was introduced by
Representative Perkins of New York.
as had been prearranged. The resolu-
ton is preceded by preamble reEits
ing some expressions of the message.
In presenting the resolution Mr. Per-
kins made brief statement, saying
that he was satisfied that the House
would not hesitate to take such action
as the dignity of that body required.
He said that some of the Presidents
expressions were unfortunate.

CLAIMS TO BE HAYS WIDOW.
Woman Says She Married Son of
Late Secretary of State.

That Adelbert Hay. son of the late
Secretary of State, John Hay, was a
husband and father at the time of his
death from a fall from a second story
bedroom window, was declared by the
mother of Mrs. Mary Ryland Hay
who claims to be young Hays widow
after her daughter had applied for a
marriage license to marry DR.. Arthur
Kraut a wealthy manufacturing chem
ist of Philadelphia.
Adelbert Hay, she said. eloped from
Washington in August, 1900, to Allan
tic City with her daughter, and they
were there married by the Rev. VIII.
lam Taylor Snyder of Washington. For
seven years she said, both she and her
daughter have tried unsuccessfully to
compel the Hay family to admit the
marriage or at least recognize young
Adelbert Hay Jr. as the grandson of
the former statesman.
Obstacles were thrown in their way
and they were handicapped by poverty.
She accuses DR.. Snyder of Withholding
the facts. Her daughter has record
of the marriage, she says, but no Ger.
tificate.

port are current as to the cause of the
accident, but the Official version from

of the last hole of the blast the dyna-
mite was discharged and the remaining
twenty-five tons were exploded by con-
cussion. The holes had not been con-
nected electrically, as the discharge of
the blast was set for 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon. The ma jority of the victims
are Spaniards. Relief trains were sent

ON JOSEPH PULITZER
Roosevelt. in Message, Calls New
York Worlds Canal Charges
False.
PLANS A SUIT FOR LIBEL
Says Government Should Prosecute
as Name of the American Peo-
pie Has Been Blackened.

President Roosevelt on Tuesday sent

charges that there was anything wrong
in the acquisition by the United States
of the canal property.
These stories.' he declares. .'were

The stories We're scurrilous and libel
Gus i'll character and false in every
essential particular. Mr.. Smith shell
tiers himself behind the excuse that he
merely accepted the statements which
had appeared in a paper published in
New York, the World, owned by Jo-
seph Pulitzer
1T is idle to say that the known
character of Mr. Pulitzer and his news
paper are such that the statements
in that paper will be believed by no.
body; unfortunately, thousands OF per-
sons are i'll informed in this respect
and believe the statements they see in
print, even though they appear in a
newspaper published by Mr.. Pulitzer
Summarizing charges made in this
connection, the president says: "These
statements sometimes appeared in the
editorials, sometimes in the news col
umns, sometimes in the shape of CON
trlbutlons. They are false in every
particular from beginning 20 end.
While the criminal offense of which
Mr.. Pulitzer has been guilty is in form a
libel upon individuals, the great injury
done is in blackening the good name of
the American people. 1t should not be
left to private citizen to sue Mr.. Pulit-
ger for libel. He should be prosecuted
for libel by the governmental authorities.
In point of encouragement of iniquity, in
point of infamy, of wrong doing, there is
nothing to choose between a public SER
want who betrays his trust, a public SER
want who is guilty of blackmail, or theft,
or financial dishonesty Of any kind, and
a man guilty as Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer has
been guilty in this instance 1t is there
fore high national duty to bring to JUS
tice this vilifer of the american people,
this man who wantonly and wickedly and
without one shadow of justification, seeks
to blacken the character of reputable pri-
vate citizens and to convict the govern
ment of his own country in the eyes of
the CIVILIZED world of wrong-doing of
the basest and foulest kind, when he has
not one shadow of justification of any sort
or description for the charge he has made
The Attorney General has under consid-
Grafton the form in which the proceedings
against Mr.. Pulitzer shall be brought.
