Indignation Indeed, for some time
past the feelings Of the members had
been growing more and more intense.
and some of them have been giving
way to their sentiments in language
which fully testified to their wounded
pride.
After Mr.. Perkins had concluded his
speech he gave way to Mr.. DENLY,
who in the course Of his remarks said
that the president tEhad veered from
the path of recommendation snd Just
criticism into the realm of personal
abuse, speculation and innuendo. -
During the discussion Secretary
Latta appeared with three messages
from the white house, and his appear
ance was greeted with roa-s of laugh
ter. The messages proved to be Of a
routine character and were not allow
ed to interrupt the proceedings for any
length Of time. Mr.. Bennett Of New
York opposed the adoption Of the Per
kins resolution and declared that il
the house should accept it its action
would have no more influence on the
character which history would give to
President Roosevelt than had the ac-
tion of the senate on President Tyler s
record in connection with his attitude
toward Andrew Jackson. Mr. Tawney
received an ovation as he arose tc
speak. Representatives Tawney,
Smith, Fitzgerald and sherley spoke
for the resolution.
Both the executive and diplomatic
galleries. usually deserted, were filled,
their occupants, some Of whom were
compelled to sit in the .aisles, display

family was present. The corridors
were densely crowded, the doorWays
were jammed and long lines Of people
waiting for an opportunity to get even

Another Cold Weather Accident

Sam Eckland, belonging to the
crew Of Geo. Walseth, was quite Sc
verely injured Monday morning
about 10 o'clock at Conlin. Eckland
had gone out with the local and was
engaged in steaming out the various
water tanks. At Conlin he was
standing on the sand dome of the
engine and had the hose in the water
spout. More steam was turned on
suddenly, the hose twisted around
and the young man was thrown to
the ground, receiving several bad
cuts about the head. He was
brought to this city and his wounds
dressed by DR.. Hunt.s

Bernt Egeland, young man be-
tween 18 and 19 years of age, met a
horrible death during last Thurs
day afternoon, by being accident
ALLY run over by the yard switch en-
gine.
Egeland had been employed by
the Northern Pacific company for
almost two years, and was mem
Der Of Joe Wester's road crew. A
short time before his death he had
taken a layof and several who were
with him around town during the
period Of his inactivity say that he
had been drinking quite heavily.
Thursday afternoon the switch
engine had been doing some work
on the river track near the pump
house, after the completion of
which it was slowly backing to the
main line. When near the switch
the engine helpers, who had been
standing on the front footboard,
saw the body Of a man protruding
from beneath the engine. It is pre-
sumed that Egeland had been riding
on the rear footboard, slipped and
fell and the engine passed over him,
although the engine crew is entirely
in doubt as to where the unfortu-
nate man probably climbed on. No
sound or cry was heard and he was
probably almost instantly killed.
The body was not cut but it was

Presidents Salary Placed 4
100000


Washington, Jan. T. Should
royal salaries be paid in a democratic
country -
This was the pointed question pro
pounded by minority members Of the
Senate Finance Committee today when
the Republicans evinced a fixed deter
mination to raise the salary Of the
President. Senator Bailey opposed the
proposed advance.
The frequent mention of 'troyal
salaries followed the production Of
an amendment prepared by Chairman
Aldrich to the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial Appropriation bill fixing
the salary Of the President at $780,,
900 and that of the Vice. President and
Speaker at $50, 900 each. Mr.. Aldrich
said this amendment would repeal the
act giving the President SIS, 900 a
year for travelling expenses and cover
all other possible allowances Senator
Money suggested that the President $
salary be fixed at S75, 600 year. The
suggestion did not meet with favor
and a favorable report on the original
proposition was ordered.
The amendment was offered later
III the Senate and was referred to the
Appropriation Committee. It embod1es
the bill offereda few days ago by SEN
ator Bourne. Of Oregon. The increas-
ed compensation is to take effect on
and after March 4, 1909. With Senator
Aldrich backing the plan, all indica-
tions point to the adoption Of the
amendment.
To insure against any e1-President
being eout Of a job. = Senator Nc
Creary, Of Kentucky, will urge his
bill providing that former. executives
may be appointed As members Of in
ternational commissions and represen-
tatives Of the United States atconfer-
ences having to do with foreign affairs.
