BAILEY DEFINES
SENATE'S RIGHTS

Washington, March 1. = Senator
Bailey today called the attention of the
Senate to the responses of heads of
executive departments to resolutions
calling for papers or information re-
lating 10 matters over which Congress
has Jurisdiction. He pointed out that
members of the cabinet use the form
that their reports are made "by direc-
ton of the President" which Mr. Bailey
said, by implication, denied the right of
the Senate to such papers or informa-
ton, except by the consent of the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Bailey, after citing instances in
which such communications have been
received offered a resolution, referring
back to the Secretary of the Treasury,
a communication sent to the Senate by
him April 13, 1903, in response to a Sen-
ate resolution of February 49, 1908, stat
ing that the information desired was
sent by direction of the President" and
stating that the Senate declined to re-
ceive any communication from the head
of any department, which denies either
expressly by implication the right of
the Senate to demand such information.
After much discussion Mr.. Bailey asked
that the resolution lie over until tomor-
row SO that senators might inform them
selves upon it. This course was taken.

DOUBLE MYSTERY
IN A KILLING

Chicago. March 1.-The shooting of
Richard J. H. Fink, who was killed while
he was a half block from home early
Sunday, has developed into double mys-
terry The police discovered that another
man, after being shot at the same place
and at the same Time also died early in
the day.
Morris Fitzgerald, a delegate for the
bsrtenders' union, staggered into his res
idence shortly after midnight and within
a few minutes time of the shooting. He
was shot in the abdomen. He died six
hours later at a hospital
That the two men were shot in the same
ARRAY is regarded by the police as prac-
tically certain. Which was the aggressor,
what was the cause, who alleged third
participant, are questions that have not
been answered Both men are widely
known in labor circles.
That there was a third person impii-
Gated Is shown by the testimony of a
boy who saw the shooting from about
a block away. He was unable to tell
anything except that one man met two
others and the shooting followed.

PECKHAM DECIDES
INSURANCE CASE

Washington March LIN an opinion
by Justice Peckham the supreme court
of the United States today reversed the
decision of the United states circuit court
of appeals for the second circuit, in the
case of the Equitable Life Assurance
society of the United States versus J.
Wilcox Brown in which many serious
allegations were made against the man
agement of the company. The decision
2 of the court below was favorable to
hearing for Brown, but the opinion an
nounced today failed to uphold the view
there taken
The suit was brought in the United
States circuit court for the southern dis
trict of New York, by Mr.. Brown, who
claimed to represent not only himself
but $4,000 other policyholders He asked
for the appointment of a receiver and a
general accounting, alleging that as the
company was organized on the mutual
plan, he and all other policyholders were
entitled to participate in the division of
the surplus While admitting that there
had been some distribution of profit, he
commended that 1t had not been as ex-
tensive as it should be- He charged in
deed, that $40. 100000 more than was neces-
sary had been retained in the treasury
of the society, and argued that the main
tenance of so large a sum there had
resulted in extravagant salaries and 9TH
er wasteful expenditures. The circuit
court dismissed the bill, on a demurrer,
but the court of appeals, to which Brown
appealed, reversed that decision, and re-
manded the case to the circuit court on
the ground that, as the bill alleged fraud,
the company should be compelled to make
answer, and allow the case to be decided
on its merits. From that decision the
company appealed, with a favorable re-
suit. Justice Peckhams decision re-
versed the circuit court of appeals and
affirmed the circuit court.
Justice Peckham said, in his opinion,
that the court had reached the conclu-
sion that there was no cause for Mr..
Browns action, and held that he was en-
titled neither to an accounting nor to the
appointment of a receiver

Naples, March 1.-Fire resulting from
the short crcuiting of electric wires
broke out tonight in the central tele-
phone office. 1t spread rapidly and the
smoke and flames, which could be seen
throughout the city created great ex-
element and brought a rush of the pop

out to keep the spectators back so that
the work of the firemen and sailors from

TRIBUTE OF CONAN BOYLE
Celebrated Writer Declares That it

a Brilliant Man Should Die
in Poverty.
TRIBUTE OF CONAN BOYLE

London March IA brilliant company
gathered tonight at a banquet at the in
vitation of the Authors club to cele-
brate the centenary of the birth of Edgar
Allan Poe. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle pre-
sided and was supported by Ambassador
Reid and Mrs. Humphrey Ward, many
leading British authors and large num-
Der of American residents of London
Among the guests were Captain Poe, the
oldest surviving member of the Poe fam
ily The speeches, which were delivered
by Ambassador Reid, Sir Conan Doyle,
Captain Poe, Charles Garvlce, the novel
ist and Francis G. Gribble, the critic,
were interspersed with recitauons of
Poes poems.
Sir Conan Doyle, after referring to the
tragedy of Poe's life. paid a glowing trib-
ute to Poes work, saying:
1T is the irony of fate that he, as he
said he should, died in poverty, for if
every man who wrote a story which
was indirectly inspired by Poe were TO
pay a 1.-THE toward a monument it would
be such as would dwarf the pyramids"
The speaker generously credited the in
SEPARATION for his own detective stories
to Poe.
Ambassador Reid was the principal
speaker. He said that lateness was quite
in keeping with Poe's career.
Everything came to MIN too late in
life as in death. especially in his own
country" said the ambassador.
Even when good fortune seemed ready
to press itself upon him more than once
during his life, his temperamental way
wardness, heedlessness, and Irresponsible
ity kept him from appreciating the OPP
portunity until it was too late.
Now, long after his unhappy death
and long after the English and French
literary tribunals have accepted him as
one of the immortals, his countrymen
yet wait even beyond the century to place
him with their other Itinerary figures,
some surely far smaller, in their hall of
fame yet Poes place surely is in the
front rank, if not at the very head of

Among the patrons of the celebration
besides Ambassador Reid were j. Ridgely

bassy; Rear Admiral Stockton, U. s. N;

recent international naval conference; the
Duchess of Marlborough, the Warehouses

LAW PROFESSOR
PRAISES Lands

Chicago, March 1.-Judge K. M. Lands
was entirely right, legally ethically and
morally when he struck his 29,240,OOO
blow at the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey through its sub-corporation,
the Standard OIL company of Indiana,
according to Charles G. Little, professor
of corporation law in Northwestern Uni
versity Law school, writing in the cur
rent number of the Illinois Law Review.
In the course of his argument Professor
Little handles the decision of the United
States circuit court of appeals unsparing-
ly. He takes for granted that Judge
Lands was, as charged by his enemies
and boosted by his friends, actually strik-
ing at the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey which was not convicted when he
inflicted his fine ON the convicted Indiana
corporation.
The real problem in this American jur-
isprudence, says Professor Little, is how
shall the real culprit be punished, as in
the network of inter-corporate relations
1t is oftentimes well nigh impossible not
morally or officially, but legally to find
that guilty person."
The professors conclusion is as fol-
lows: IF the New Jersey company was
the owner of the stock of the Indiana
company then it was in fact though not
in name before the bar of court for
punishment. To deny it would only be
wilfully binding to the real question.
The government, having been content not
to indict it, it's punishment could be in
dicted directly through the power of the
court to punish the Indiana company.
The learned judge who wrote the opinion
of the court of appeals has confused the
idea of conviction with that of punish
ment"

est Reserve Bill Comes Up and
Its Supporters Fight Noby
In Its Defense.

Washington, March 1-Transacting its
business amid scenes of great confusion
the House of Representatives today gave
every evidence that the present Con-
gress is drawing to a close.
In his endeavor to maintain a SEM
blance of order, the speaker was con-
stantly pounding his gavel and admon-
ishing members to cease conversation
After two hours of stormy debate the So
called Appalachian and White Mountain
offset reserve bill amended so as to ap-
ply its provision to all states, was passed
by narrow majority of ten. Measures
of this character had been before the
House in one shape or another for many
years and today's action witnesses the
partial contamination of a policy in con-
nection with the conservation of the for
ests increasingly pressed by its advo-
Gates.
By the terms of the bill the national
forest reserve commission is created for
the purpose of acquiring by purchase or
condemnation the lands needed to pro-
mote, or to protect the navigability of
streams in whose watersheds they lie
The House bill is a substitute for that
of the Senate and the measure will now
go to conference.
The final conference reports on the
army, navy and fertilization appropria-
ton bills were agreed to, and the meas
ures will not go to the President for sig
nature. In addition to this a vast amount
of miscellaneous business was disposed of.
A resolution, designed as a concession
to the so-called insurgents, amending the
rules so as to provide one day each week
for a call of committees, gave rise to i'm
mediate discussion and was adopted by
the narrow margin of six, the vote stand
ing 1sS to 1872
After a short discussion the House al
most unanimously insisted on its disagree
ment with the Senate on the amendment
to the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, raising the salaries of

er and United States judges, and the bill,

Dolngs of the Senate.

Washington, March 1.-The sundry civil
bill, appropriating $1B9 900, 000 and the
military academy bill, carrying an appro-
priation of s2,5A,oOO, were passed by the
Senate today.
Senator Bailey, calling attention to
communications from heads of depart
ments in response to Senate resolutions
calling for papers and information, stated
that such replies received from the Sec
retaries of the Treasury, Commerce and
Labor and War and Navy, had been
sent "by direction OF the President"
which he declared was theoretically de-
NAL of the right of Congress to demand
such information without the intervoa-
ton of the President. Presenting a reso-
luton, directing that all such communi-
cations be returned to the heads of de-
partments from whom they had been
received, Mr.. Bailey attempted to secure
its passage, which was opposed by Mr.
Aldrich and other senators on the ground
that the orderly way to dispose of a
matter of such Importance was by send
ing it to a committee. After debate it
was allowed to lie on the table until
tomorrow.
At $3.50 the Senate adjourned until to-
morrow.

cannon's Policy Denounced.

Chicago, March 1.-Speaker Cannon's
support of three sections recently added
to the federal penal code by the House
of Representatives, designed to stop the
collect on delivery jug trade in prohi-
bition states, is denounced in a bulletin
issued by the associated prohibition forces
as a deliberate attempt to deceive the
prohibition and temperance forces of the
country and gain a little cheap applause
from those well informed on the ques-
ton Anyone can run a beer train
through this act and not touch either
side" said Finley C. Hendrickson. "If a
distller in Peoria, ILL.,, for instance. ships
into Kansas 200 jugs of liquor and con-
signs each one to himself that would
constitute him, under the legislation, the
bona fide consignee. Then all he has to
do is to notify his bibulous patrons that
the jugs are at the station and that upon
receipt of such money he will send a
written order to the purchaser which will
permit him to go to the express office
and lift jug"
