Representative Sims of Tennessee in
reply to Mr.. Sims speech in the
house regarding Mr.. Loeb's connec-

Mr.. Sims for an immediate retraction,
says that the statement of Mr.. Sims
was false in its effect, misleading in
its imputation, unfair to him and to
the representative sense of rectitude
and honor. He says that of the 4,700
shares of the common stock of the
road standing in his name only 100
shares, enough to enable him to quail
ify as director, are his and he denies
approaching any one regarding street

'It is to be regretted" he said, that

Congress Is Bad Politics.
REPUBLICANS HOLD MEETING
Steering Committee of Senate Dis
cusses Situation, but No Decision is
Reached to Add Any Measure to
Those Destined for Passage.

Washington, April 22.-At meet
ing of the Republican steering COM
mittee of the senate the legislative
programme was discussed, but no de-
cision was reached to add any impor-
tant measures to those des tined for
enactment at the present session of
congress. In regard to currency leg
islation ii was stated that if the house
passed bill providing for a commit
tee to investigate financial matters the
senate would Immediately, upon re-
ceipt of the measure, vote to add the
Aldrich currency bill, with view of
putting the whole subject into confer
ence.
Senator Aldrich made 1t clear that
If there was to be financial legislation
of any character at this session 1t
would be along the line of what al
ready had been done in the senate,
with concurrence in the provision for
commission to sit during the recess
of congress to consider currency mat
| ters.
Senator Hale told his colleagues on
| the committee that the sentiment of
| the senate was against the four battle
| ships scheme advocated by the presi,
| dent and that II would be useless to
| try to get an appropriation for more
| than two battleships at this session.
| 1t appeared from the discussion that
there were few measures in addition
| to appropriation bills that have any
prospect for passage at the present
session. Senator Beveridge declared
That It Would Be Bad Politics
to adjourn without passing some
of the measures desired by the presi
dent and that the do nothing" policy
would be heard of in the coming cam
paign. He spoke of the difficulty Re
publican campaigners would have IL
answering the charge that the presi
dents programme for beneficial legis
lation had been ignored by a Repub
lican congress. He was particular.
urgent in demanding consideration fo
an anti-injunction bill and for the pro
posed amendments to the Sherman
antitrust law.
The other members of the steering
committee, however, saw little chanc'
for the passage of these measures anC
several senators argued that 1t woult
be worse politics to divide the part,
on bills that could not pass than to lie
these bills sleep until after the cam
paign.
Although no date of adjournmen
was considered it was generall
agreed that the business of the ses
; sion could be concluded about the mid

buster in the house should proion
