LINCOLN RESOLUTION TIED UP
SENATORS SQUABBLE OVER
FORM OF MEMORIAL.
Monument or Memorial Road or
Both-Measure Is Finally Sent
to the Calendar.

A souabble over what sort of a memo
rial should be erected to Abraham Lincoln
was the cause today Of no action on the
mart of the Senate upon the Dick resolu-
ton making February II, 1909 Lincoln
Tooth birthday anniversary, legal hol-
iday in the District of Columbia and the
territories, and expressing the sentimen
that there should be a suitable memoria
TO the great War President. Many sena'
tors favored a Lincoln road from this city
tn GETTYSBURG Pa, and others wanted q
memorial in this city; still others favored
both.
The resolution was this afternoon re-
ported favorably by Senator Wetmore
chairman of the committee on the library
He asked unanimous consent that IL DC
considered at once. Senator Carter OF
fered an amendment striking out the pro
vision for a monument In the Dlstrict, sc
as to leave the question of the place ano
character of the memorial entirely open.
..Why does the senator offer thai
amendment?" asked Senator Gallinger
chairman of the District committee
Does he mean to say that the Lincoln
memorial should not be erected in TN:
city"
Mr.. Carter said this was undoubtedly
the place for the memorial but that he
had in mind a project to build a greal
road from here to Gettysburg, ano
thought the question should De leIt open
THAT'S a Dream announced Mr.. Gal
finger.
MIR. Carter denied that it was dream.
Then Senator Knox of Pennsylvania
who has introduced a bill for Lincoln
road to Gettysburg, asked If the Applaf
Way was not the greatest memorial ina
could have been built to the Roman En-
peror Appius. He called attention to
memorial road in Japan to one of the EN-
perors Of that kingdom.
This caused Mr.. Gallinger to reply tina
if it were possible to have such roat
he would favor it. we'll as monumen
at the Washington end OF it.
Mr.. Burkett broke into the debate tt
suggest that the question of determining
the nature of the memorial was too big
to be considered so hurriedly. Senator
Foraker suggested that Mr.. Wetmort
allow the resolution to go over until to
morrow.
After some further discussion Mr.. Wet
more appealed to the senator's to with
draw all amendments. but before III
could do so Senator Dixon Of Mon
tana also objected to further considera
ton and the Vice President ruled tina
the measure should 20 to the calendar.

Quakes in Smyrna.

ROME. January 21.-Italy is confronted
with "a grave problem, the caring for the
100000 persons made homeless by the
earthquake of last month in Sicily and
Calabria and who have dispersed not only
to the interior of their native provinces,
but have gone in great numbers to Naples
and other of the large cities of the coun-
try. At present it is estimated it is cost
ing 100000 a day to meet the simplest
necessities of the poor. a sum which
neither international charity nor the
state can long continue to bear.
Furthermore, the bestowal of charity is
having an i'll effect upon the lower classes
and many disorders are reported to re-
suit. 1t is strongly urged here that pub
lie works be speedily inaugurated to af-
ford employment for those who can labor
and that the bestowal of charity be re-
stricted to those who are sick or help
less.
The American relief committee nearly
emptied the large clothing stores in
Rome, Naples and Palermo. They dis
tributed over $1,000 mems suits, quaint
ties of cloaks and shoes and 1000 mat
tresses.

KEEPING OUT INSANE ALIENS
PRESIDENT URGED TO RECON-

New York State Officials Point Out

of immigration.

Authorities of New York's insane insti-
tutions are urging the federal government
to make stricter regulations against
steamship companies for bringing alien
insane to this country. They wish the
immigration authorities Of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor to impose
heavy fines upon the. steamship compa-
MES, fines that will make the lines more
careful in the booking of their passen-
ger lists.
The subject was discussed at the White
House today by DR.. Albert Warren Ferris
president of the New York state commits
sion in lunacy. and DR.. Sydney ID. Wilgus
chairman of the board of alienists sta
toned at Ellis Island After their talk at
the White House the visitors went to see
Secretary Straus where they again took
up the matter. They have recently visited
Mr. Taft at Augusta on the same mission
The indiscriminate booking OF immi-
grants has cost the state of New York
millions of dollars in caring for insane
aliens. That state now maintains 10000
insane patients. and Of this number 1t
was stated today by DR.. Ferris 45 per
cent are aliens. The life and death sta
tistics show that twenty-five aliens cost
the state $4,000. the average life of each
patient being nine years.

OLD Cl|QUES REVIVED lNG.P. 0.
SENATE COMMITTEE MAKES
SOME DISCOVERIES.
Probe of Objections to Donnelly for
Public Printer Reveals "Wah-
meta" and "Kickapoo" Clans.

In an investigation of objections filed
of Samuel B. Donnely as public printer
the members of the Senate committee on
printing have discovered what appears to
be revival of the old "Wahneta'' and
"kickapoo-' cliques within the ranks of
the labor unions at the great printing es-
Establishment. These forces threatened to
take part in the dispute which has been
waged between employees of the printing
office for a number of years to the great
annoyance of the public printer.
Members of the Senate committee have
determined not to take cognizance of the
operations of these cliques. and, ignoring
their activities, have decided to again re-
port the Donnelly nomination to the Sen
ate, with a recommendation that it be
confirmed.
Every public printer who has served
during the past twSAty years knows
something about the "Wahnetas and
the 'I<ickapoos." He may not know very
much. not nearly SO much as he would
have liked to know while he was the head
thing. for there has been no important
matter before a public printer in long
time that one or the other of these or
CARNATIONS has not had hand in.
Able to Stop Public Business.
The "Wahnetas." or the "Wahs,' as
they are called for short, are older than
the "Kickapoos,'' who are their rivals.
Each is a secret organization, similar In
power and extent to the combination OF
bureau chiefs of the Navy Department.
Their strength is unquestioned, though
difficult to trace to its source.
Employees of the printing office declare
that it is Impossible for public printer
to turn a wheel in the office if these or
PLANTATIONS oppose him.
That they still have some influence out
side the Office is shown by the hold-up OF
tho nopnelly nomination in the Senate.

BROWN AND BALDWIN QUIT.
Sleuths Who Investigated Browns.
Vile Dropped by War Department.

The War Department has dispensed
with the further services of Herbert J.
Brown and w. o. Baldwin, who were paid
$4,000 for their recent work in following
up the members of the battalion Of the
18th Infantry, discharged by the Pres
ident for the shooting up of Brownsville
in October. 1906. and securing a state
ment from Boyd Conyers, one of the
number.
Although the department has not aban-
doned its effort to secure evidence as to
the identity of the men who did the
shooting. it has concluded that Brown
and Baldwin have already accomplished
all that can be expected Of them.
