LAFOLLETTE DENOUNCED.
Penrose Declares He is Tired of
Wisconsan's Claptrap

Washington.-Th postoffice bill, car.
rying appropriations of over 1922, 000,-
900, was passed by the senate Thurs
day, after very stormy debate, during
which Senator Penrose, in charge of
the measure, made an angry assault
upon Senator LaFollette, who had en-
tered into a general criticism of the
senate committees because of what he
termed their unwarranted delay in re.
porting great appropriation bills.
Mr.. LaFollette had at length chided
the senate with permitting glut of i'm
portant legislation to be disposed of in
haste during the last days of congress.
Responding in angry tones, Mr. Pen
rose charged the senator from Wiscon-
sin with having failed to attend meet
ings of committees of which he was a
member, finally declaring that his criti.
cism sounded more like the arguments
made by vendor of a patent medicine
from the tail door of cart in the vii
lagos of Wisconsin" than those of a
senator of the United States.

ROOSEVELT is REBUKED
For Permitting Trust to Absorb
Tennessee Coal and Iron.

Washington.-The senate subcornmit-
tee of the judiciary committee, which
has had in consideration the Culberson
resolution asking why's and wherefores
of Mr.. Roosevelt's consent granted the
street trust to gobble up the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company, has signed and
filed its report.
It's effect is to condemn Mr.. Roose-
welt and find him guilty of a usurpa-
ton of authority i'll what premises he
ordered ,Attorney-General Bonaparte to
do
The presidential excuse was that it
was necessary to permit the. steel trust
to take over the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company to prevent the country
from being swept by-a panic. The COM
mittee denies the legal right of the
president to anticipate panics, and inti-
mates, if it does not say it, that Mr..
Roosevelt was elected the president, not
the prophet of the country. To inter
fere in the matter, one way or the other,
was to step outside of presidents
duty as outside of his right.

WOULD CONDEMN GOVERNOR
Anti-Saloon League Has Bitter
Wrangle.

Louisville, Ky.-A spirited wrangle
was precipitated in the Anti-Saloon
League convention at the Coliseum
Thursday afternoon, when a resolution
was submitted to send to the legislature
of Tennessee congratulations ON the ac
ton in passing Statewide prohibition
law. 1t was also proposed to send a
message of censure to Gov. Patterson
for his refusal to approve the action Of
the Legislature.
State Superintendent West and Presi-
dent Beauchamp led a victorious fight
against the measure. No little feeling
was aroused, but the wave of trouble
soon rolled into condition of placidity.
The committee on legislation recon-
mends that the governor and mayor
be clothed with power to remove from
office the chief of police or other of
fetal not enforcing the law.
A law making possession of a United
States tax receipt prima facie evidence
of guilt is also recommended. The rec.
concentrations of the committee were
heartily concurred in.

TRADE IMPROVEMENT SLOW
Cotton Goods Show Marked Increase
in Demand.

New York;. G.. Dun & Co.'s week
ly review of trade says:
Improvements in the structure of
business is much more pronounced than
improvement in the activity of business.
While financial and political develop
ments, both in Europe and the United
States, are distinctly better, the prog
ress toward the eagerly expected re-
vival of trade is slow, and especially in
the iron, copper and coal trade, is dis
appointing. Cotton goods are firm.
Wooden goods are chiefly active in the
better grades of fancy worsted.
Continued firmness of raw material in
dcates little likelihood of revision of
prices in cotton goods and some lines
even show a tendency to advance, al
though trade generally is quiet. There
is no resumption in the export demand,
but the fact that China has already
taken so, 900 bales since the first of De-
cember, as against $4,000 bales during
the entire year of 1908, materially
strengthening this branch of the market.

STATE RESTS ITS CASE
DEFENSE WILL PRESENT ITS
SIDE IN COOPER TRIAL.
Pistol Holster Found in Pocket of
Dead Senator's Overcoat-Who
Placed It There.

Nashville, Tcnn.-Absence of some
State witnesses and desire on the part
of the defense to arrange its plan OF
procedure caused an adjournment until
Saturday in the Cooper-Sharp trial for
the murder of former Senator +. w.
Carmack. The State first announced
that it rested its case in chief. When
the defense asked until Saturday to pre-
pare, and the continuance was granted,
Attorney-General McCarn announced
that some missing witnesses would be
here by that time, and that he would
offer their testimony.
The State has satisfied itself with Of
fering testimony to prove that Senator
Carmack was slain by Robin j. and Dun
Can B. Cooper, that John Sharp, when
he heard the shots, knew what they
were without looking around, and that
prior to the killing several conferences
had been held This, the State contends,
lays the foundation for proof of con-
spiracy.
The State stops here and waits for
the defense to offer its case. Attorney
General McCarn has subpoenaed sixty
four witnesses, and has used scarcely a
score. The others will be held in reserve
for rebuttal. The defense has not is
sued summons, but says its witnesses
will be present without court process.
By not issuing subpoenas it prevents the
State from knowing it's witnesses
names.
The only incident of Thursdays tes-
timony was the States attempt to prove
by implication that the pistol holster
found in the dead senator's overcoat
pocket was put there by one of the at
terneys for the defense, when, few
weeks ago he went to the morgue and
tried on the overcoat. Two witnesses
testified it was not in the pocket when
the senator was killed. 1t was found
in the pocket by Gen. Washington of
counsel for the defense, when he tried
on the overcoat.
