The Day Is Also Made Confederate
Memorial Day.

Fairvcw, Ky, June 3.-Among the
trees which have grown up about the
birthplace Of jefferson Davis since the
year. early in the 18th century when
the Davis family removed to Missis-
siDpi. the jefferson Davis Memorial
park was simply dedicated today.
Northeast across the state is Hodgen-
Vile. near which Abraham Lincoln
was born eight months after his OPP
ponent.
Fairview is still tiny town. rim

toward the grass grown battlefields of
Tennessee.

mortal possible.
4 basket dinner and barbecue were
provided BY the people Of Todd and

Washington, June 3.-The Senate
was not in an amiable state of mind
today and as o consequence there We're
several clashes of temper. The day was
begun with speech by Senator Stone
of Missouri in which he asserted that
the German officials had taken excep-
ton to remarks recently made by SEN
ator Aidrich relative to the wage state
ment supplied by the German govern
ment at the request of the American
secretary of state.
Mr. Aldrich had characterized as
''impertinent" the effort which he
claimed had been made in that state
nent TO influence American tariff legl
islation, and Mr. Stone undertook to
show that the epithet had been applied
to the German government.
Mr.. Aldrich resented this implication,
but he repeatedly said that the Ger
man manufacturers had undertaken to
influence the course of the tariff bill
and he charged that in so doing they
had been guilty of impertinence."
Among the other things, Mr.. Aldrich
intimated that Mr.. Stone was acting as
a representative of Germany and this
remark aroused the anger of the Mis-
sourian. Declaring his right to speak
his mind as an American senator he
said that the use of the expression was
"a gross impertinence."
The colloquy continued almost three
hours of time. Ultimately Mr. Aldrich
p1id q high compliment to the German
people and their Emperor and the Incl
dent closed for the day with. the state
ment by Mr.. Stone that while Mr.. Aid
rich ana Mr.. Depew, who also had been
involved in the controversy, had not
made a straightforward retraction. as

and his absence was the subject Of criti-
cism that involved the sincerity Of his at
titude on the tariff bill. and finally de-
seconded to serious attacks upon him by
conservative Republicans in charge OF the
bill and spirited defence from insurgents
and Democrats. Finally the tense situa-
ton was smoothed over but another out
break is threatened and is almost sure
to occur when the Wisconsin senator
again gets the floor
Growing out of a recess taken in the
Senate yesterday in order to give La Fol-
lette an opportunity to recover from the
i'll effects of over-eXertion during his
speech. and his failure to be on hand to-
ators sought to show that he had receiv-
ed unusual consideration. Beveridge, in
defending La Toilette, asserted that no
senator would question that La Toilette
was i'll and needed the rest. Penrose de-
clared that he would be able to prove
that La Toilette was well enough to be
abroad in the streets consulting with the
repre- sentatives of yellow journals and up
lift magazines"
Prompt defence of the Wisconsin sem
ator came from Borah and Dolliver, Re-
publicars. and Money, Democrat.
Reveridge suggested that the Senate
should adjourn for a reasonable time to
give La Toilette an opportunity to re-
cover and resume his speech. Aldrich
opposed the suggestion. saying that while
the senators sympathized with La Fol-
lette there was no reason why Bever-
idge should not make his own speech IL
