TO ExPuNGE ROAST"
Criticism Of President Will Go Out
of the Record.

The criticism Of President Roosevelt on
the floor of the House yesterday by Rep
resentative Cook of Colorado will be eX-
plunged from the Record by committee
of five members, composed of Representa-
tives Mann Of Illinois, Perkins of New
York, Foster of Vermont, Clayton of Ala
bama and Howard of Georgia. appointed
by Speaker Cannon today on the strength
of the adoption of a resolution to that
effect offered by Representative Tawney
of Minnesota. chairman of the appropria-
tions committee. Mr.. Tawney explained
to the House that he had given Mr.. Cook
the time yesterday, and that Mr.. Cook
had abused his confidence by not speak
ing on the sundry civil bill. But devoted
himself to roast" of Mr. Roosevelt.
He thought the House should take the
action suggested. The committee, the res
olution provides, must report not later
than next Monday.
Representative Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, the minority floor leader, suggested
that the business of appointing commit
tees to exercise press censorship on the
remarks of members was establishing a
mighty dangerous custom, but he objected
without avail to the passage of the reso-
luton, the vote on its adoption was
overwhelming.
Mr.. Cook was on the floor during the
proceedings, but remained quiet.

WHEAT PIT LIVELY.
New High Records for Season in
Chicago Market,

CHICAGO. February 26-New high
record marks for the season were estab-
Iished today in the wheat pit when the
May delivery sold at S1.17s per bushel and
the July at s1.05A. This price for the May
delivery is within cents of the best
mark reached during the memorable
Gates campaign in 1905, when the price
touched S1.2112.
The high prices prevailing for the
future deliveries are due to a large extent
to the constantly advancing tendency in
the price of the cash grain, which Is being
eagerly sought by millers at all Of the
leading grain centers in this country.
Congestion in the May delivery brought
about by manipulation by several leading
operators on the board here, however, is
partly responsible for the advances.

WERE MANY COMPETITORS
Chicago Artists Model Considered
Best by Committee.
FOR UNION STATION PLAZA
Whole Work, Including Memorial
Fountain, to Cost 500, 900.
Second and Third Prizes.

dorado Taft Of Chicago won the COM
petition among artists for the honor of
making the statue of Columbus and all
other sculptural features of the Colum-
bus memorial fountain to be erected on
the plaza of the Union station.
Congress appropriated 100000 for a me-
mortal to Columbus. and the Union sta
ton plaza was selected as it's site by the
commission charged with that duty. The
commission. which was created by Con-
gress. consists of Secretary Wright. Sec
retary Bacon, Senator Wetmore of Rhode
Island. exIRepresentative McCleary Of
Minnesota and E. L. Hearn Of Boston.
The last named gentleman represents the
order of the knights of Columbus. which
order was mainly instrumental in secur-
ing the appropriation from Congress. In
addition to selecting the site the COM
mission approved the general design Of a
sem-circular fountain prepared by d. II.
Burnham, the architect of the Union sta
ton. This fountain has an extreme width
of siXty-four feet, and is declared to be
in complete harmony with the archtectu-
raj treatment of the station and Its en-
vironment.
A stone column or shaft about forty
feet in height, surmounted with a globe
representing the world, is the principal
feature of the rear of the fountain, and
is intended to serve as a background Tor
statue of Columbus standing at the bow
of a caraval similar in general design 10

RESOLUTION BY TILLMAN
MR.. BAILEY WANTS TO KNOW

Senator TilIman Of South Carolina this
morning offered a resolution instructing
the committee on post Offices and post
roads to consider and report whether
the report of the Presidents homes COM
mission should not be excluded from the
mails as obscene literature unfit for
circulation"
Mr.. Tillman did not discuss the queS-
tion at all, but allowed the resolution to
be referred to the committee without
action by the Senate.
The report to which the resolution re-
fers included 3S1 pages, and was trans
mitted to the Senate by President Roose-
welt several weeks ago. 1t discusses the
questions of improving existing houses
in the District of Columbia, and the
elimination of insanitary and alley houses
and under the broad heading of .'social
betterment" takes up all sorts of sub
jects relating to medicine and morality.
1t was first called prominently to the
attention Of the Senate yesterday by
Senator Bailey of Texas. who said it
would be excluded from the mails if it
had been published by a private citizen.
and that if 1T should be read in the SEN
ate it would be necessary to clear the
galleries first

Criticised by Senator Bailey.

1t was during the discussion of an
amendment to the agricultural appropria-
ton bill for an investigation of the liquor
traffic by permanent commission, and
after Senator Gallinger had deplored the
fact that so few data were obtainable on
that traffic. that the Texan broke forth

devoted to this very question. and l hope
the senator from Mississippi and the other
senators will take occasion to warn the
executive department of the government,
|if we refuse the appointment of this COM
mission. and they appoint one, notwith-
standing our refusal. they will at least re-
quire that they print an expurgated edi-
ton next time"
Senators pricked up their ears, clapped
their hands for pages, and in a few min
utes not another copy of the report was
left in the document room.
