HERE TO DEFEND HIMSELF.
r. t. DevIin, California District At
torney. Before Senate COMMITTEES.

Robert r Devlin. United States attor-
ney for the Northern district OF Califor-
mia, accompanied by Alfred P. Black, his
assistant, appeared before a subcommit-
tee of the Judiciary Committee of the
Senate yesterday to defend himself
against the charges lodged against him
on the strength Of which the committee
voted some time ago TO reject Devlin's
nomination as his own successor in office.
The hearing was given at the request
of the two California Senators. Senators
Perkins and Flint are both urging the
confirmation Of Devlin's nomination. The
charges grew out of the conduct by Unit
ed States Attorney Devlin and his assist
ant Of the Perrin-BensOn land case. and
we're preferred by DR.. z. B. Perrin, one
of the defendants in the case. who
charged unfair and unprofessional con-
duct on the part Of the United States
attorney and his assistants. The case
has not been reopened, but the state
ments Of Mr Devlin and his assistants
will be accepted and made q part Of the
record TO be considered when the Senate
takes up the case.

LIABILITY ACT DOUBTED.
Bill for Amendment Opposed by
state Rights Advocates.

Bill for Amendment Opposed by
state Rights Advocates.
The bill amending employers liability
act. which has already passed the House,
developed opposition on the part of ad-
vocates Of States rights in the Senate
yesterday. Senator Bailey said the pro-
posed amendment is an Improvement
over the existing law, but he doubted the
constitutionality of the original act
I fully agree with that view" said
Senator Hale, who added. there is no
halfway ground"
II am glad,'' remarked the Senator
from Texas. that New England is com
ing to the view of States rights"
And which the South has abandoned -
interjected Senator Gallinger.
Il regret to say that statement is par
TALLY true. said Senator Bailey. but
this part OF the South has not abandoned
the old doctrine. AS soon as New Eng
land ascertained that its scepter of power
was passing to other sections Of the coun-
try, she few to the doctrine Of States
rights for her protection.
IF New England can be reformed in
that respect, and it seems to be, hope
the people of that section may again be-
come Democrats. There was a time when
they were Democratic. I believe they will
again be Democratic and advocates of
States rights
At the suggestion of Senators Lodge
and Hale, the bill went over until to-
day. in order to give Senators more time
to consider it.

MORE TROUBLE IN HOUSE.
Democrats Insist Upon Campaign
Publicity Bill Being Reported.

Although the House Committee on Elec-
ton Of the President, Vice President and
Members of Congress ordered favorable
report nearly three weeks ago on the bin
to provide for the publicity Of campaign
contributions. that report has not been
made.
In consequence. a number of Demo-
cratic members of the House are prepar-
ing to denounce Representative Gaines, Of
West Virginia, chairman of the commit
tee. IN the floor. They claim that he
prLi lsed to report the bill at once and
that he hasn't kept that promise.
Representative Sulzer, of New York. IS
one Of those who intends to stir up
trouble if the bill isn't reported in the
very near future. And there are others.
The absence Of Republican members Of
the committee and the presence Of the
full Democratic strength was the only
reason that the bill was ever ordered re-
ported at all. The Democrats don't want
10 lose the effect of that committee vic
tory through the refusal Of Mr. Gaines
to deliver the report.

TALENT
For The Assembly The Best
That Can Be Secured

Nearly all of the Chautauquas held
nowadays are purely money-making
affairs, and the stockholders in the
companies are looking forward to the
financial statement in order to learn
the amount of their dividends. Hia-
watha assembly has no stockholders
and If the management keeps even it
is pleased. The earnings have always
been put back into equipment and ex-
ira talent, and it is due to this very
fact that Hiawatha assembly programs
are good.
This year the people of Mt. Vernon
and Knox county will be privileged to
hear Sumner r. Vinton's Pagoda Land
lectures, which will be given on op-
ening night, July 25. Mr.. vinton gives
travel talks on the Far East, and IL

This well ge a great attraction for
the opening of the best program ever

believed that fully 1000 season tick
cts will be sold in Mt Vernon and
Knox county.
