RA|NEY IN A CLASH
SAYS WICKERSHAM WROTE
McKINLAY'S SPEECH.
It Was a Defense of the Attorney
General-The Californian Re.
sents the Charge.

A lively tilt between Representative
Rainey of Illinois and Representative Nc.
kAnlay of California occurred in the
House late yesterday over an accusation
by the former that the latter had inserted
in the Congressional Record speech not
delivered on the floor and prepared by AT.
torney General Wickersham. In this
speech a defense was made of the At
torney General and Henry w. Taft broth.
er Of the President. against charges OF
being attorneys for the sugar trust, as
made by Mr.. Rainey April IA.
The charge that Mr.. Wickersham had
written his speech was Indignantly de-
MED by Mr.. McKinlay, who said he had
gathered the facts and prepared the docu-
ment himself.
Il charge here" said Mr.. Rainey. that
the Attorney General has not denied that
he received a part of the immense fee
paid the firm of Strong & Cadawalader
for services for the sugar trust. That fee.
according to the statement in the Record,
six other persons received their proper
tionate interest in it as members of
the firm
In reply to Mr.. Radney, Mr.. McKinlay
said he had inserted his speech in the
Record because the Illinois member had
attempted to show that the President
was favoring the sugar trust and was
not acting in good faith in the prosecu-
tions Of the trust.
Representative Parsons interposed to
say that his father, John E. Parsons, a
sugar trust official, having denied that
he had any knowledge Of the sugar
frauds. would not be indicted.

barrassed for a short time at least.
In addition to the proposal to give the

work in the mills have been trying to
arrange for a half holiday with pay, but

Some government employees are in
clined to treat the subject lightly, on
the ground that there is nothing in the

matter even the thought of adding an
extra half hour at each end of their

They declare that an increase in the

hardship and would defeat the purpose
for which it would be instituted. They
say that at present the government work
