SENATOR HEPBURN TRIES
 TO WAVE BLOODY SHIRT

made grave mistake. It was not in- be placed in that hall.''
 Yesterday in the Senate Senator Hepburn. in making a speech on the acceptance of the statue of the late Senator Shoup referred to the fact that the act authorizing statutes to be placed in the hall was passed immediately after the close of the civil war. He added; Do you think that these men in Congress on July 2, 1884. ever con templated for moment that any state under any conditions, at any time would place the statue of Benedict Ar hold in that hall? It. was an inspira- tion of patriotism and loyalty that inn pelled them to this legislation, and when I looked upon his form there this morning, l recognized that the reward of patriotism is best realized in that you live in the hearts of your country men, and that after life has ended you still command their respect for your deeds during life. That hall should be a lesson of patriotism, to the people of this country It should illustrate only the reward for loyalty to the country, to the government under which men serve."
 Of course, when senators read the speech this morning in the record. no one would listen to on eof Heyburn's .sepeclies, they immediately recognized that the Idaho senator had in his use of Benedict Arnold's name plain reference to the action of Virginia in placing General Lees statue in the hall It was with great difficulty that an out burst was prevented in the Senate to- day and when Senator Hepburn takes up the Newport News custom house case it can be depended upon that he will be answered in kind by the south- ern senators.

Washington, January 1s.-(Special.)- The Senate is on the verge of a sectional debate which may carry it's older mem bers back to the days of reconstruction. It has been precipitated by Senator Hey burn of Idaho, who being too young to serve in the war seems to desire to fight battles of that contest over again on the floor of the Senate.
 The senator today introduced the fol- lowing resolution: That the secretary of the treasury be and he Is hereby di- rected to advise the Senate whether or not an order has been issued by the col Iector of customs at Newport News, Va, authorizing the closing of the office of collector of customs or any department thereof on January 19 and for what pur- pose if at all
 January 19 is Lees birthday in Vir- ginia as it is in seven other southern states. A big celebration is to be held in Newport News, and the collector of customs asked for permission to close the office, which the secretary of the treasury readily granted. This has ex- cited the ire of the Idaho senator, who accordingly had passed the above resolu- tion today, and when the secretary of the treasury replies it is the purpose of Senator Hepburn to severely criticise his action in authorizing the closing.
 The senator is primed for a bitter bloody shirt waving speech. He was asked today about his resolution, but said he could not discuss it until the secretary sent his answer to the Senate. He was then asked about the Lee statue in statutary hall and replied: They have

P1ttSburg, January 'As.-TIoney-com by the warm rains and the high temper atures of, the last 4S hours, the huge ice gorge at Freeport, on the Allegheny river, 90 miles above this city, let go tonight. Piled up back of the gorge of 15-inch ice that in some instances was 15 feet high, were thousands of tons of water that had been held back for two months while the gorge was forming
 The river tonight presents a milky ap- pearance as 1t rushes toward the Ohio. The ice is too soft to do any damage, and all shipping is secure.
 Early in the night the river gauge showed a stage of 15 feet, which the weather bureau reports will be increased to about 24 feet by tomorrow with the ice coming out of the Monongahela, and that of the Allegheny forming junction.
 As the rush of waters reached Spring field, 16 miles from here the river rose 10 feet in seven minutes. The unusual low stage of the river, however, enabled the great volume of water to be carried off without endangering property.
 The river communities along the Ohio south of here, however, were not so fortu- nate. With a rise out of the Monongahela also the streets in the lower sections of the river towns became inundated and many small industries have been closed.
 From many communities in this and neighboring cities tonight come reports of high water. but in no instance is danger reported.
 Some cases are reported where the rail- roads have resorted to the almost annual expedient of shunting freight cars onto bridges over fast running streams to pre- vent washing away.

Ice Gorge Breaks.

Louisville, Ky, January 1S.-The great ice gorge which for the past two weeks has held solid the Ohio river from Wolf creek almost up to Louisville. broke today and dispatches from down stream tonight indicate that the mass is moving south ward without doing any damage more serious than the carrying away of shanty boats and small craft and causing the caving in of banks at various places.
 The flood is expected to reach Evans vile, Ind, some time tomorrow morn ing.
 In spite of the breaking up of the gorge the expedition ordered sent out by the war department left Louisville this afternoon for down-river points to be ready for emergency. From the re- ports received here, however, the speed with which the mass of ice is moving will preclude any possibility of it's lodg- ing at any point south of Wolf creek. the river gradually widening beyond that point.
 The railroads report no Interruption to traffic and the lines of the telegraph companies are normal but report comes from Alton, Ind, that some damage was done there to telephone wires.

Coal Baraes Start South.

Louisville, January 18.One hundred and twenty thousand tons or coal was start ed south on the Ohio river tonight fol- lowing the breaking up of the big ice gorge below Louisville, which has held the Pittsburg coal fleets for nearly two weeks.
 Five big tow boats steering whole acres of barges have departed. Tonight's ship ments if loaded into railroad cars would fill nearly 4000 cars.
 The arrival of the coal at southern cities probably will cause a break in prices which of late have assumed almost famine proportions, 1t is asserted.

TINKER PRAISES CHANCE
Says Il Was Managers Absence from
Games, Not Kings That Lost
the Pennant.

All winter l have been listening
to declarations that the Cubs lost the
1909 pennant because John King was
not with u.s." said Joe Tinker the 9TH
er day. But I want to say that we
lost that pennant for no other reason
than that Manager Frank Chance was
out of 80 games during the season.
"Pittsburg would never have taken
that big lead over us If It had not
been that Chance was out Of so many
games on account of his injured shout
der. II King had been with US with
Frank on the bench the result would
have been no different. 1t was tho
managers absence, and not Kings,
that caused our downfall.
Killing is a grand catcher and I
don't want to belittle his efforts, but
l am getting tired of this constant
growing that we lost the pennant be-
cause he was not with us.
"You could put the frandest first
baseman that ever played the game in
Chances place." explained Joe, and
that team of ours would never be the
same with Frank out Of It,.
"Luderus is as promising a first
baseman as l ever saw. He's cork
ing good hitter and the way he cracks
