CLASHES WITH ALDRICH
Sharp Words Between Two Senator's IN
Which Iowa Man Refuses to Allow
Interrupton-Root Also
Speaker on Tariff.

Washington, May ga sharp tilt oc-
CURED in the Senate yesterday between
Mr.. Deliver Of Iowa and Mr.. Aldrich Of
Rhode Island.
The Iowa senator, in speech on the
tariff. was quoting from memory a
statement he said had been made BY Mr..
Aldrich and corroborated BY Mr.. Flint
Of California, that certain schedules Of
the Dingley bill were not drawn by the
finance committee, but by government
experts. Mr.. Aldrich protested that he
was not being quoted correctly and that
Mr.. Deliver was making q false state
ment.
When the identical words were read,
Mr.. Dolliver said that man was iusti-
fed in drawing the conclusion he did.
Mr. Aldrich hotly retorted that Mr. Dol
liver we'll understood why he was irri-
tased. q don't want to refer to the
cause" said he, @and hope / never
will.s
Later when Mr.. Alurich sought to
interrupt him, Mr.. Deliver declined, say
ing that he had been in Congress long
enough to conduct his speech in his own
way and that he did not intend to have
his remarks "sneeringly diseredited" in
his own time.
Senator Delivers speech was marvel
Of satire in its treatment Of Senator
Aldrieh, with whom Dolliver had clash
over the WOODEN schedule week ago.
The Iowa senator is smarting under the
insinuations cropping out in the press,
that his apparent conversion to lower
duties Is an anchor to windward in view
Of the expiration Of his term two years
hence. He departed from his speaking
program to read one Of these clippings
and to refute it with a quotation from
a recent address to the legislature writ
ten in the bed chamber Of my former
colleague Senator Allison, voieing the
demand for tariff revision which he re-
pcated yesterday. Mr.. Dolliyer spoke
with an earnestness amounting to pas
sion, his deep voice ringing with intens-
ity and carrying his words to the Earth.
