HOUSE AND SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 27.-An animated
political debate with the tariff as it's
chief feature, entertained the House
of Representatives today. The agri-
cultural appropriation bill was under
consideration and speaking upon it
Rep. Boutelle, Ills, upheld the Payne
Aldrich tariff law as one that would
be eTinently satisfactory to the coun-
try, especially to the Southern states.
The entire day was given up to
speeches that were largely of a politi-
cal nature.
The Senate received the postal saw
ings bank bill which is an admnistra-
tive measure and referred it to COM
mittee it will probably be reported to-
morrow. A bill was passed providing
for the disposition by lottery of I'M
allotted Indian land in South Dakota,
but not before Senators Gore and Bur-
kett had bitterly assailed the system.
Mr.. Gore said that the system was
announcement and expensive.
Mr.. Burkett cited the crowding of
trains and the insufficient accommoda-
lions in the frontier towns during re-
cent openings and declared they had
been marked by much crime and
bloodshed due to the presence of thugs
in the attending crowds.
Senators Gamble and Crawford of
South Dakota defended the method as
the best obtainable

IN THE HOUSE.
SouteIl Ably Defends the Workings of
the Payne Tariff Law.

Washington, Jan. .27-Admitting
that the Payne tariff law would have
to be justified by the results of it's
practical operation, Rep. Boutell of
Illinois, member of the committee
which framed the measure, made a
vigorous defence Of the new law in the
House today.
President Taft had been criticized,
he said, because he had declared the
Payne act was the best tariff law ever
PASSED by Congress. But, he added, the
result would justify the statement
THE common sense and sagacity Of
President Taft will be recognized by
his reelection in 1872
1T has been said" continued Mr..
Boutell, that that act gives prefer
ence to certain individuals and is the
cause of the present high prices. 1t has
been claimed that the tariff act will
retard prosperity"
When the Democrats applauded these
statements and laughed in derision,
Mr.. Routell sharply rebuked them.
why is it," asked he, that the
Democrats always applaud any tale
Of misfortune or prediction of adver-
sity?"
1t was then the turn of the Republic
cans TO laugh and applaud.
Il think" said Mr.. RoutelI answer
ing his own question, its because
adversely is SO familiar ard so in keep
ing with the history of their party"

fought one round last night before a

The fight was declared a draw.
A large crowd followed Mrs. Nation
through the red light quarter last
night. The curious surged into Mrs.
Maloy's dance hall and listened to @

destroy the painting, screamed q TRADE
against the crusader and sailed into
Mrs. Nation with both fists.
Before Carrie could defend herself,

Angered by Increased Prices They Tell Judge
Lands Evidence Was Sufficient in 1908 But
Prosecutors Lost Interest," Lands Investi-
gates and Opens Present Proceedings.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Four members of
gated the sO-called Beef Trust in 1908,
forced the government to start the
present investigation, according to a
raport current today. Assistant Attor-
ney General Wade Ellis, who spent to-
dey in Chicago, denied there was any
friction among government officers
conccrning the present investigation
ard said also that District Attorney
Sims would remain in Chicago.
Concerning the present action it is
said there would have been none had
not the dissatisfied jurors sought the
aid Of Judge Lands. This quartet it

in December, 1908. and finally became

behind the prosecution. They also said

district are in line with this investi-
CATION. Ordinarily cases presented to
the grand jury for trial in the courts
are wholly within the routine duties
of the United States attorney. Where,
however, the subject of inquiry af-
fects the country at large and espe-
cially where it involves the complaint
of a violation of the antitrust statute
having q more than local effect, the
attorney general exercises a special
supervision. He is particularly charg-
ed by the law with the enforcement of
this act and my duties in this behalf
are also fixed by statute under his di
rection.
There will be no change in the
present instance. Mr. Sims, in whom
the attorney general has entire con-
fdence will present his testimony to
the grand jury. After this testimony
is in, I have no doubt the grand jury
will do its full duty, both to the gov
eminent and to those against whom
such testimony may be adduced

Federal Incorporation Bill
Is Now Completed.
Three Distinct Ways to En-
force the Laws Provisions.
Advocates of Measure Believe IL Is
Gaining Congressional Favor.

Washington, Jan. 27.--After being
subjected to the close scrutiny Of
prominent lawyers and undergoing re-
peated revision the bill embodying the
ideas Of President Taft and his cabi
net for a federal incorporation act now
Is ready to be introduced in Congress
Its preparation represents months Of
labor by Attorney General Wickersham
and Secretary Nagel in getting up
measure that best will stand the test
of the courts and safeguard the public
interests. Presumably in its main
features the bill is in accord with the
Presidents message on the subject and
the preliminary draft, which was pub
lished several weeks ago.
Corporations given charter under
the bill will be held to strict ac-
countability for the observance of its
provisions. for 10 less than three dis
tlnct methods are available to dis
possess them of the privilege Of doing
business. These are the right of Con-
"feSs 70 alter, amend or repeal a char

corporations, who issues the charter,

violation OF any of its features or for
alleged insolvency. and the right of
the attorney general to begin proceed
lngS for annulment of the violations
of the Sherman antitrust act. Pro-
ceedings instituted by the commits
sloner OF corporations or by the de-
partmeht OF justice may be resisted by
injunction or by other legal means.
Advocates of the bill believe it is
gaining some favor in Congress- They
