SENATE WILL ASSERT ITS RIGHTS IN
MATTER OF OBTAINING REPORTS
Debate on the Bailey Resolution, Which Has Been Regarded
as Rebuke to President Roosevelt.

Washington, March Reconsideration
of the Bailey resolution directing the re-
turn to heads of departments of COM
munications from them made in re-
Spouse to demands of the senate, which
purport to be sent by direction OF the
president" was resumed by the senate
today Mr.. Bailey said that he did not
expect SO much executive insolence
from the next administration as there
had been in this one. He was sure that
there would be less. if Senator Knox,
who is to be Mr.. Taftis secretary OF
state, could control the matter.
Mr.. Rayner supported Mr.. Bailey 5
position and exclaimed: The 4th OF
March is rapidly approaching.
He added: After that date we will
have a president who will obey the re-
uuirements of the law and will not
evade the constitutiCn-one who knows
the limitations of the executive author
ity."
Senator Cummins offered and Mr.. Bal
lev accepted a substitute declaring the
right of the senate to direct heads of
departments to furnish the senate pa
pers. documents and information in all
proper cases, and that such heads of
departments are bound to furnish the
same without the interference or inter-
vention of any authority whatsoever.
Declaring that the adoption OF the
Bailey resolution would be construed as
a rebuke to the president, Senator Dol
liver said he hoped that never again
would the floors of congress be used

Washington. March S.-"Not a ship has
a scratch" says President Roosevelt in
approving Admiral Sperry's command OF
the Atlantic fleet on its cruise. Secretary
Newberry adds that the trip rejected
great credis on the entire navy, and Nd
miTaI Sperry in his aCknow Judgment
paws tribute to his officers and men. The
correspondence was made public today
President Roosevelts letter 20 Admiral
Sperry follows:
Sir I desire to express my earnest
and hearty approval of the manner in
which you have exercised the command
of the Atlantic feet. You have brought
IT from our home coast on the Pacific
westward around the world to our home
coast on the Atlantic Not a ship has
had a scratch. The whole feet is more
efficient than when it started. You nave
kept the ships, separately and together.
SO well exercised that they have in
creased their efficiency in gunnery and in
technical maneuvering- Moreover, you
have shown ability of an unusual kind
i'm the way in which in Australia and
Japan you have represented this nation.
in what was in effect, on one side, a
great diplomatic mission
"In addition I want heartily TO COM
mend what you did on the national coast
defense board in 1905. where the work
was of the very greatest Importance.
II also congratulate you upon the dis

as arenas for disparagement OF the mo-
tlVes OF the chief executive.
Mr.. Beveridge eulos1zed President
Roosevelt at length. He llkened him TO
Washington, Jackson and Lincoln and,
declaring that they had been vilified as
had Mr.. Roosevelt, said that their ira
ducers had been forgotten. He closed
with the statement that Mr.. Roosevelt
had wrought nightly and for the per-
manent welfare of all the people, re-
CARELESS of creed or color.
Mr.. Bailey replied in one sentence
While he said, lit is true that the
world has forgotten the names of the
vilifiers OF Washington and Jackson, it
is also true that 1t has forgotten some
of those who delivered fulsome eulogies
upon them
Mr.. Aldrich said he had no doubt
about the rights of the senate, but he
believed it was desirable that an une-
quivocai declaration be made in regard
to them at an early day. However,
he regarded matters between the senate
and the executive as SO important that
any declaration should be made with
elaboration. He assured Mr. Bailey
that an early report would be made on
the resolution and Mr.. Clark of Wyo-
ming, chairman of the committee 'on
judiciary, assured him that the COM
mittee would do Its full duty in the
premises"
The Cummins resolution then was re-
ferred by a strict party vote TO the Ju-
dietary committee.

TRIBUTE TO THE
VICE PRESIDENT
Senators Present Silver Service
and Loving Cup-NegroeS
Remember Foraker.

Washington. March Behind closed
doors the senate today paid Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks one of the most remark
able tributes ever given to presiding
officer. He was presented with mag
nificent silver service costing 81, 1S5. as
the gift of the entire body of senators
and with a loving cup as the present OF
the Democratic members.
The presentation was made by Senator
McCumbeT, who spoke of the vice presi-
dents ability and his devotion to work.
Senator Daniel spoke for the minority,
dilating upon MIR. Fairbanks uniform
fairness. He suggested that If at any
time Mr.. Fairbanks should tire of the
monotonous service in the Republican
party the Democrats would be glad to
welcome him. He suggested that it would
rot be well for Mr.. Fairbanks to take
more than one draught from the flagon
before breakfast if he should happen to
get it filled with other than buttermilk.
Mr. Fairbanks exhibited deep feeling
in his reply. Then practically the whole
senate surrounded the rOstrum and all
shook hands with Mr.. Fairbanks.

CHIEF BARLOW STARTS
CAMPAIGN AGAINST
SHORT COAL WEIGHTS

Relying more upon public sentiment
rather than any statute, Chief of Police
S NJ. Barlow is going TO see that when
a ton Of coal is ordered, and the coal is
delivered, the purchaser shall receive a
full ton in weight
This decision of Chief Barlow's, arrived
at after elaboration. was put into eff
feet yesterday morning, and caused con-
sternation not only among the drivers
of coal wagons, but the selling companies
as well, and also resulted in a bald ex-
pose of what too frequently happens to
the coal purchaser.
Fifteen wagon loads of coal were over
hauled by Chief Barlow's men yesterday,
carefully weighed and checked up on.
Six loads of the coal showed total ex-
cess of 345 pounds over the. propert guam
titye or a safe margin of honest weight
Nine loads revealed a total deficiency in
weight of 3,255 pounds. In the deficient
class one load of what was supposed to
be 1900 pounds developed shortage of
$40 pounds.
/ While there is at present no specific
statute enforcing the delivery of exact
weight Chief Barlow feels that popular
sentiment will be strong enough to sup
port linn in his latest endeaVOT. In fact,
ne says that he was led to give the mat
ter of short delivery of coal publicity
by the numerous complaints of citizens.
Rarlow's Statement.
To Herald reporter Chief Barlow said
last night:
From time to time there have been nu-
merous complaints made about the coal
companies or the wagon drivers. no mat
ter which, making short deliveries. Since
last January quite a number Of citizens
have complained of this to me, asking if
nothing could be done for their protec-
ton One of the complainants is one of
our foremost citizens, and 1 think Is one
of the largest coal buyers in the city
After thinking the matter over I thought
we could at least DO some good hy check
ing up on the drivers. and this work was
begun yesterday morning.
