OEF|ES SENATE
BLOCKS INQUIRY
The President Takes an Unusual
Step in the Steel Trust
investigation.
sEQUESTERs THE PAPERS
Congress Cannot Demand Documents
in His Possession = Roosevelts
Action VIII Undoubtedly Pre-
cipitate Fresh Outbreak.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The presi-
dent is again defying congress and
under a guise of executive independ-
ence is sheltering himself from the
congressional investigation of the alb
sorption of the Tennessee Iron and
Coal company.
1t all grows out of Senator Cul-
berson S resolution on the subject.
Early in the session a good deal of
protest was started on the democrat
ic side about the absorption by the
steel trust of its principal competit-
or, the Tennessee Coal & Iron COM
pany. Though in direct violation of
the antitrust law, this deal was
openly acquiesced in by President
Roosevelt, fact admitted by him,
but defended on the ground that it
would help allay disturbed financial
conditions then existing.
Mr. Culbefson's resolution order
ing an inquiry as to what authority
the president had for authorizing
such a deal passed the senate al
most without opposition. The bureau
of corporations had already investi-
gated fully the affairs of the steel
corporation and was in possession of
all the facts. When the senate com
mittee sought this budget of govern
ment information and was about to
summon Herbert Knox Smith, the
commissioner of corporations, to
come before the committee with all
his papers, President Roosevelt an
ticipated the move by sending for all
the papers in-question. and he now
has them securely in his own posses
sion. The president is the one Off
Ger of the government not subject
to processes, and maintained it that
the papers in his possession are not
subject to the orders of congress.
The senate committees investiga.
ton is thus blocked effectually un-
less the presidents hand can be
forced The affair is expected to oc-
casion a fresh attack against the
president by the senate for usurpa-
ton of authority.
The precedents as to the power OF
congress to demand particular pa
pers from the executive are some
what hazy. Congress has the author
ity to call on him for information
concerning all public business, but
whether this includes particular doc
uments is the issue.

that caused young Shackelford's S
death. Only meager particulars of
the tragedy could beobtained. Far
row has refused to make any state
ment concerning the affair. The facts
that have been ascertained are to the
effect that Farrow was formerly en-
gagged in the market business at
Britton. He sold out about a week
ago and went to Fort Worth. Tues
day night he returned to Britton and
soon after he stepped off the train a
fight ensued between him and Shack
elford After a few words had been
passed between the two men Shack
elford was seen to fall with a stream
of blood gushing from great
wound in his neck. Death was almost
instantaneous. Shackelford was un-
armed, so 1T is said.
Constable Hays Of Midlothian
went to Britton and placed Farrow
under arrest and started with him
to Waxahachie. Officer Hays was met
a short distance this side of Midloth-
ian by Sheriff Forbes and Constable
McCalpin, who took charge of the
prisoner and brought him on to jail.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Alleged Exploits.

There is reason to believe that Mr..
Roosevelt is in Africa carrying out in a
general way the program which was
announced before he departed with his
scientific associates. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that no intelligent American
reader will for moment suppose that
we are having authentic reports from
day to day OF Mr.. Roosevelt's move
ments and adventures. There was just
one thing that Mr.. Roosevelt asked of
the American press before his departure,
and that was that he be allowed as a
private citizen to proceed with his Atri-
can press before his departure, and that
was that he be allowed as a private
citizen to proceed with his African plans
without being followed, spied upon, or
reported. All newspaper men know that
the lurid tales which have been daily
served up,-and which have chronicled
with much detail the slaughtering of
countless lions, tigers, rhinos, hippos,
and other beasts of both sexes and all
ages,-are sheer inventions. Never were
fakes more transparent or more iinpu-
dent. Mr.. Roosevelt's hunting is far
away from the shaded haunts of the
gentlemen of the press who prepare
these daily romances, and nobody knows
that this is true so we'll as do the
managers of our respected newspapers
who are displaying these tales of shamb-
les and gore under irst-page headlines
every morning, and illustrating them
with unnumbered cartoons. Even on
his later Western hunting trips Mr..
Roosevelt had the doubtful benefit of a
similar response on the part of an enter
prising press to a supposed public de-
mand. We shall have to wait a good
while before we get any trustworthy
news about Mr.. Roosevelt's experiences
in the Dark Continent.-[ From The

can Review of Reviews for Tune.

New England at the Front.

AS most of our readers know Seattle
will have this summer great exposition
to exhibit the marvellous resources of the
Pacific northwest and Alaska and we
are pleased to see by the Seattle papers
that the New Englanders in that section
are planning great things for Aug. 5
which is set apart as New England Club
day. On that day a duplicate of the
Mayfower will cast anchor in the lake
fronting the exposition grounds and
102 descendants of Puritans will disem-
bark in small boats, clothed in CONT
mental garb, and reproduce the landing
on Plymouth rock One of the enthusi-
astic members OF the New England Club
is Charles H. Knapp, formerly of St.
Johnsbury, and in recent article in the
Post-Intelligencer he states that there
are $500 men over 81 years of age living
in Seattle who were born in one of the
New England states. The New England
Club has secured headquarters through
the exposition in the Halter building in
that hustling city, and all New England
ers who visit the Yukon-P Pacific exposi-
ton are cordially invited to make these
rooms their rendezvous while in the city. |

"Champlain" which has been adopted
as the official song of the occasion.
John W. Kellette of Rutland wrote the
words and George L. Hasseltine of
Montpelier composed the music, while
James M. Fulton, the author of Tip

bands. The song is neatly printed, sings
and plays WE'LL and bears on its title
page a two-color design, representing
the explorer Champlain landing on the
shores of the lake near Burlington, an
outline map of the lake and symbolic
design representing the American eagle
holding in its claws the Canadian and
French flags.

The New Vermont.

Rev. J. ]. Lewis is doing splendid work
in advertising Vermont in his illustrated
lecture he is giving in various parts of
the state. While the purpose Of the lee
ture is to promote the interest in the
coming tercentenary celebration of Lake
Champlain, he is also telling his hearers
of the undeveloped resources of the state
and the splendid industrial future that is
surely coming. While he gives due credit
to the mineral resources of our state
marble, slate and granite, it is the forests
and the waterways that he enthuses
over because there are possibilities for
wealth that can be developed without a
great expenditure of capital.

Hon. Franklin D. Hale of Lunenburg
has been promoted from the position of
consulship at Charlottetown, Prince Ed
ward Island, to the island of Trinidad.
With this promotion is a salary of $4,000
a year, an increase of $1,000 over the
Charlottetown consulship. For the
benefit OF those whose geography may
be little rusty we will say that Trinidad
is an island, and about 40 miles square
belonging to Great Britain, lying off the
coast OF Venezuela. 1t was discovered
by Columbus in 1893 and has popula-
ton of about 100000. Mr.. Hale has
many friends in this section who will
congratulate him on his deserved pro-
motion.

The Present Crisis In Turkey.

F. P. Wells of Newbury has received a

which we are permitted to take the fol-.

me mer and have the pleasure of seeing you.
Then | can talk about things here in.
stead of trying to write it in a letter.
Just at present everything is topsv-
turvy here, but it looks today as though
the Il elements of liberty would win in the
night for constitutional government.
Living here is something like sitting on
the crater of a volcano and it is wearing
business"
MIR. Jewett writes that his wife is now
visiting friends in Hanover and that he
leaves Trebizund in May and will return
with her in the fall

An Old Story.

A story which had it's origin in Mont
pelier has been localized in Washington
by the correspondent of the New York
Tribune. Senator Garter of Montana
had introduced one of his constituents to
Senator Page. A moment later the at
tention of the Westerner was attracted
to group of pages romping in a corner.
" Who are those lads 7" Senator Carriers
constituent asked "They are little
pages" responded the senator. The
visitor from Montana looked back at
Senator Page and exclaimed: "Whew
He must have been on good terms with
President Roosevelt" AS the story
originally started Gov. Page was guiding
one of the stalwart sons of Lamoille
around the statecaptol when the visitor
from the spunky county noticed a group
OF pages and asked: who are those
boys?" When Gov. Page replied They
are little pages" the man from Belvidere
looked incredulous, but responded with |
becoming gravity, Why, | lid mt know
you had so many children, governor"
