OF mind yesterday. AS a consequence
there were clashes of temper
The day was begun with a speech by
Senator Aldrich for offending the German
government.
Mr.. Aldrich intimated that Mr. Stone
was acting as a representative of Ger
many, ana this remark aroused the anger
, of the Missourian
Following the Aldrich-Stone episode
Senator La Toilette resumed his speech
In opposition to the cotton schedule
which proved to be a general criticism
of the methods OF the finance committee
He asserted that the German wage re-
port had, contrary 10 a statement by Mr..
Aldrich. reached the committee before
the tariff bill was reported to the Senate.
He charged the committee with general
neglect in Withholding information from
the senator.
He opposed the new cotton duties as
excessive and made an argument in favor
of general scaling down.
Tart rejoinders between the senators
from Rhode Island and Wisconsin were
frequent. An explanation by Mr.. Aid
rich that the comparisons of Mr.. La Fol
lette were incorrect, because of the
changed application of the law through
court other decisions. brought forth a
denial by Mr.. La Toilette.

Later Mr.. La Toilette refused to yield
to Mr.. Aldrich for an interruption, add
ing:

same kind Of treatment that ! have re-
ceived from you
"A system has grown up here" said
Mr.. La Toilette, "by which legislation

to Mr.. Parkhill. Mr.. La Toilette pre-
sented some open-weave cloth on which
there were decreases. He told Senator
Brown of Nebraska that there We're
twenty-one decreases In the bill and
seventy increases. while all the other
rates were unchanged.
Mr.. Brown asked Mr.. La Toilette why
the committee had proposed any decreas-
es at all.
Il prefer that some member of the
committee should answer that smiled
Mr.. La Toilette.
A little later Mr.. La Toilette held up
a sample on which there was an in
crease. he said, that was justified on the
ground that the present rate was not
high enough to protect
Senator Dixon of Montana inquired
whether he was criticising the Payne
Aldrich bill from the standpoint Of a
protectionist.
Il am doing just that thing" replied
Mr.. La Toilette. And more than that,
l would reduce excessive rates gradually
In every case except where there is
monopolistic control"
Il am glad to hear the senator say
that remarked Mr.. Dixon. I'VE stand
on the same ground. after all, and it's
merely matter of the facts"

eisht senators answered to their names,
there were only thirty present after Mr.
La Follette had resumed. He discussed
at length the cost OF mercerized fabrics.
Upon being question by Mr.. Dixon, Mr..
La Toilette admitted that he had not
taken into consideration an amendment
which was adopted to the paragraph
on cotton thread and carded yarn, and
that he did not know how many Of his
estimates of seventy increases had been
reduced by that amendment.

whose authority seems to have been
recognized here for many years without
question. 1t seems hazardous on the
part of any one who wants to know and
who fails to come along when he is told.
Il want to announce to the autocracy
of the Senate that the clock will strike
presently. and there will be a new hour
in the legislative business of the Senate.
Again addressing himself to the re-
publicans present, he asked:
DO the senator's from New England
believe that this control of legislation
is to continueo No, you scannot shut
your eyes to the body of men of the re-
publican organization here with new
ideas or old ideas that go back to the
basis of constitutional government"
Toward the close of the afternoon
session Mr.. La Toilette became quite
exhausted. Effort was made to obtain
permission for him to suspend and re-
sumo again today.
Senator Aldrich took advantage OF the
incident to make an effort to obtain an
agreement to vote on the cotton schedule
at a fixed hour today. In this he was
unsuccessful, and after ten or fifteen
minutes of recuperation the Wisconsin
senator proceeded.
AT $50 the Senate recessed until pm.
Night Session.
The atmosphere of the Senate chamber
was surcharsed with electricity when the
tariff bill was taken up after recess
from $50 until s pm, in the first night
session since Congress was convened.
Every republican senator who is in the
city, except Mr.. La Toilette. was In his
seat. His absence was made the subject
of criticism that involved the sincerity
of his attitude on the tariff bill and
finally descended to serious attacks upon
him by conservative republicans in
charge of the bill and spirited defense
from insurgents and democrats.
Finally the tense situation was smooth
ed over. But another outbreak is threat
ened and is almost sure to occur when

Character Given Mr.. Parkhill.

In answer to another question by Mr..
Borah he said Mr.. Parkhill was a modest
man but apparently was thoroughly ia
miliar with the customs duties of the
United States. He added that Mr.. Park
hill had been before the finance COM
mittee after the bill was drafted and un-
der attack in the Senate.
Senator Lodge said Mr.. Parkhill was
chief examiner of cotton goods at the
custom house Of New York and had been
there for twenty-three years.
Here Senator SmoOt OF Utah admitted
that the committee had raised the duty
on some hgh-priced kinds OF cotton
goods. giving good reasons therefor. Mr..
Pa toilette said he would later show
some increases on low-priced goods.

After heated discussion over request

as a result of the exertion caused by his
speech and could not continue, the Senate
made considerable progress at the night
session.
The hemp. fax and jute and sundries

The most important amendment was
the reduction of the duty on common

of the chamber.
The first item in the schedule which he
took up was a common grade of cotton
cloth. which, he said. had been imported
only to the value of 81 last year, and
yet the bill increases the duty by 80 per
cent. He said he failed to see why such
an increase was justified

Inexplicable Discrepancies.

He cited number of items in the
schedule which showed what he de-
clared to be inexplicsble discrepancies
One grade of common cloth to which
he called attention was imported only
to the value of $642 last year, and
yet prohibitive duty is proposed to
be levied against II.

Pays Respects to Mr.. Penrose.


1t was at this point that he asked if he
was TO turn aside and answer the per-
sonal attacks on him by Senator PEN
rose.
THE senator from Pennsylvania would
render much more important service to
his state and the country he added, IF
he would tell how he spends his time out
side of this body. The people of Wiscon-
sin will make me answer for what / do.
Here Mr.. Penrose interrupted Mr.. La
Toilette TO say that already Mr.. La Fol-
lette had INDUCED in some pretty bad per-
sonalities concerning Pennsylvania poll
tics in a magazine called La Follette's.
He read from the magazine a statement
that the state of Pennsylvania ought to
go into the hands of three receivers, for
il was $4,000, ,Oc0 in debt. The article also
referred in derogatory way to Henry
Wallace. former Speaker OF the House.
Mr.. Penrose said there was no truth in
these statements; that his state was not
in debt a penny, but had balance of
S11.OUOOO0, and. furthermore. that there
was no such man in Pennsylvania as
Henry Wallace.
He was about to enter upon an explana-
tion of the facts when Mr.. La Toilette de-
clined to yield longer.
The senator is quite right" said Mr..
La Toilette. and then proceed to explain
that one of the members of the staff OF
his maga zine. Mr.. Quick, had written the
article. basing it upon clipping from
the Chicago Record-Herald that was aft
erward denied. He said in an editorial in
his paper the error had been corrected
later by his order.
Il would like to see that retraction."
said Mr. Penrose.
Il must decline to yield to the senator
to indulge In more personalities. replied
Mr.. La Toilette Blu: I shall send to my

Consideration Shown Speaker

Senator La Toilette proceeded with his
speech under many difficulties. He had to
consult publication on his desk sheet
OF figures nearly two feet wide, and by the
aid of a iuler laid along the line follow
the various figures in the comparative
statement. This necessitated frequent
pauses, 81, that his remarks were neces-
sarily dis ointed and took on the nature
of tech nical argument rather than an
effort at oratory.
He was shown great consideration how
ever. by senators. Senator Bacon several
times demanded order for him, and SEN
ator DoIiiver and other senator's offered
whispered suggestions as to items in the
bill
Senator La Toilette declared that in the
cotton schedules there are seventy in
creases in duties to twenty-one decreases
and that the increases are vastly of more
consequence than the decreases.
More than that" said Senator La Fol-
lette, there are hidden increases in this
bill BY this do rot imply design on the
part of the committee. but somebody in
framing this bill manifestly knew what
they were doing"
Senator La Toilette insisted that the
testimony is overwhelming that the cot
ton industry is prosperous and needs no
increases in duties. IF the Dingley law
had a defect which allows any particular
manufacturer TO suffer correct il specific
ally he suggested He said the only de-
fective paragraph was 304. which omitted

He said he was not talking to get into
the newspapers out home or anywhere
else, or to insure reelection. For fifteen
years, he said he had ben engaged in
gigantic struggle in his state for the
rights of the people. having left a lucra-
tive law practice.
Many times he had been tempted to go
back to his practice by the lies and bit
ter attacks that had been hurled upon
him. But always, he declared, he was
compelled to remain in the battle because
of the idea that gripped him which he
believed reached to the very foundation
