VOTES TO EXPUNCE
THE W|LLETT
SPEECH
LOWER HOUSE WILL REMOVE
FIERY ATTACK UPON PRESl.
DENT FROM RECORDS,

Washington, Jan. 27.-The house
proceedings today began with the
adoption of the special committee re-
port recommending the expunging
from the record of the recent speech
Of Mr.. Willett Of New York. denun-
ciatory of President Roosevelt. Then
during further consideration of the
postoffec appropriation bill the
charges made yesterday by Mr. Rainey
affecting Panama canal affairs
cropped out again. Mr.. Weeks of Mas
sachusetts, entered a defense of Sem
ator Lodge, while Mr.. Rainey reiterat-
ed his statements regarding the pur-
chase of two ships at the instance of
the Massachusetts, senator. The post
office appropriation bill was amended
in several particulars, the most i'm
portant being the transferring of 500
assistant superintendent, clerks, etc.,
of stations from the 1000 to the LOO
class, while the provision for the nav
ment of necessary expenses of divis-
ion superintendents, railroad mail
clerks and others while away from
headquarters was stricken out. AS
amended the bill was passed, carrying
an appropriation Of over 1924 900, 900.
The report on the Willett speech de-
clares that 1t would seem that the pc
culiar constitutional duties of the
house In relation to the power Of the
impeaching the president do not pre-
clude clear line of distinction be-
tween that criticism of acts and con-
duct necessary for performance of
the constitutional duties of the house
and criticism merely personal and ir-
relevant"
1t also claims that 1t is the duty of
the house itself to protect the presi-
dent from that personal abuse, in
uendo. or ridicule tending to excite
disorder In the house itself and to
create personal antagonism on the
part Of the president toward the house
and which Is not related to the power
of the house under the constitution to
examine into the acts and conduct of
the president"
In his letter to the committee Mr..
Willett claims that he did not trans
cend the rules Of the house.
The resolution recommended by the
special committee for adoption by the
house reads:
Resolved, That the speech of Mr..
Willett printed in the daily Congress
sional Record of January 1s, 1909,
language improper and in
Of the privileges Of debate
and that the same be stricken from the

called for and extreme bitterness of
the arraignment Of the defendants by
Justice Wright as unparalleled in ju-
dicial proceedings.
I'VE denounce government by in
junction as sought to be enforced by
the courts, as American, unconsti-
tutional and void. We deny the right
of courts to issue injunctions against
officers or members of labor organiza-
tions, while contending for their rights
for alleged offenses not committed in
the presence Of the court, without no.
tice to parties concerned. In seeking
to bring about change In the in
junction laws, as interpreted by the
courts, we have no desire to attack
property rights They must be safe
guarded, but there are other rights
that should be guarded-the right OF
man.

But we most emphatically deny the
right Of any court to punish for Of

FOR WASHINGTON.
Special to The Daily Missoulian.

Butte, Jan. 27.-General Charles s.
Warren and wife left Butte at mid
night for Washington, where the gen.
eral Is to deliver the official returns
of the state Of Montana to the elec-
toral college, declaring that Taft car
ried Montana For the past several
days kilograms have been pouring in
on the general asking him why he
was not in Washington in readiness to
carry out his share in the program
For a while he thought they were the
results of practical jokes on the part
of his friends in Washington Today
he has been flooded with kilograms
from the leading papers of the east
as regards his on-appearance in
Washington, and he lost no time in
getting away. Regarding the $1,000
fine which may be imposed, he says
he can and will pay 1t.
1T is hell of high price to pay"
he said, for the opportunity of tell
ing the people of Washington that
Taft carried Montana, but in view of
the reversal of the voting of eight
years ago and 10 years ago, when
Bryan ran against a good republican,
it is surely worth every cent of the
fine"

Fairbanks received today a telegram

Wonderful Advance of
Cuba Shown by Paper

An idea of Cuba's beauty, the prog
ress she has made since the Spanish
war and yet the air of romance the
land and people still retain may be
gained from the tourist edition OF
the Havana Post. "a page compilation
of the tropic islands present position
in the world of trade, her capabilities
for amusing visitors and her attrac-
tions generally.
Particularly Illuminating to the per-
son who has. never seen the island are
the photographs and articles concern
ing the military and government roads
that now penetrate in dozen different
directions into the interior. The mud
lanes narrow and mere lines of chuck
holes, that satisfied the land before
the war are contrasted with the pres

made of the many automobile roads
that lead out of Havana, the boulevard
