BERLIN, Feb. 19.--Today's session of the

growing out of an Interpolation by the
socialists asking Chancellor Bethmann-von
Hollweg what had induced him in his
Prussian suffrage speech in the Diet to
attack universal suffrage as guaranteed by
the imperial constitution.

chancellor's remark that a democratic
franchise exercised an evil and degenerat-
ing influence upon political MORALS, in
orired whether the Reichstsg was willing
to hear such a criticism of universal sur
frage from the chancellor.
Vice President SPAIN called Frank to
order.
Chancellor Bethmann-von Hollweg as
sured the house that the universal suffrage
of the empire was secure from any at
tacks by the imperial government or the
Bundesrath.
Deputy Lebbous, socialist, alluded to the
recent street demonstrations and said that
the socialists meant to continue the pro-
test and that they were not to blame TOT
the rioting at Halle, Neumensten ana
Frankfort, but rather that the polire were
responsible because they hadS1ftertered

INDIAN BILL IN THE HOUSE
Three Hours Debate on Amendment
to Abolish Warehouses.
LEADS FIGHT
FITZGERALD
New Yorker Says Proposed Change
Would Prevent Proper Inspec-
tiOn of Supplies and Open
Door to Graft.
From Motor Topics.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Indian
appropriation bill occupied the attention
of the house during six hours today. Most
of the debate was upon an amendment for
the abolition OF Indian warehouses in New
York, Chicago, st. Louis, Omaha and San
Francisco. The house adjourned until Mon
day without taking action on that question.
''At a time when the Department Of the
Interior is under the gravest charges and
under cloud these recommendations
should not have, weight here" declared
Representative Fitzgerald of New York in
opposing the amendment for the abolition
of Indian warehouses.
Burke Proposes Amendment.
The proposed change in the method of
making purchases for the Indian office had
the approval of the secretary of the in
terror. The amendment was proposed by
Chairman Burke of the committee. who re-
ported the measure to the house. By its
terms five Indian warehouses at New York,
st. Louis, Chicago, Omaha and San Fran
cisco would not be maintained unless the
secretary OF the interior should deem 1t
advisable to do so.
"Now thies new secretary" confined Mr
Fitzgerald, with desire to imprvcoe the
public service in so many ways, while he
is being investigated under charges, from
which l hope he will be exonerated, but
which up to this time are a cloud upon
him, should not be cited here upon pro-
posed legislation, the only effect of
which would be to introduce to the In
dian service the most extensive system
of graft and fraud which the country has
ever experienced"
Debate Lasts Three Hours.
l Mr.. Fitzgeralds reference to the sec
retary of the interior was made near the
end of three-hours' debate, during
which Representatives Parsons oof New
York. Bartf oldt of st. Louis Hitchcock
of Nebraska, Kahn of California upheld
the existing warehouse system; while
Burke of South Dakota, Miller OF Mime
sofa and Saunders OF Virginia were prom
inent in advocating their abolition. Rep
resentative Mann of Illinois Joined the an
tagonists of the warehouse system.
The burden of Mr.. Fitsgerald's opposi-
ton to the amendment was that by ship
ping supplies direct TO reservations the
present effective system of inspection
would be destroyed and in that way ex-
tensive frauds would be made possible.
! Chairman Burke, preferring to defer ac-
tion on the amendment until Monday
/ sought am adjournment which was only
reached after a roll call of the house had
demonstrated the absence of a quorum.

that the railroads will see the error Of
their way" and resclnd the order to in

roads do not come to this view Of the
question then, the packers admit. they will
have to take what steps they may to pro-
tect their business and defeat the effort of
the railroads to secure greater rate.
Tn packers are counting strongly on the
Great Western In this crisis They believe
that in the event OF the other roads refus-
ing to yield, they ultimately win out
II the Great Western will stand by It's
guns and not join it's competitors. They
are relying much on this resource and they
believe In view of the splendid Victories
the Great Western has won for the people
in the past, that It will prove true TO its
colors in this fight. They declare the
Great Western cannot afford at this late
day to go into any such move.
Any railroad that can jump into Omaha
against the tremendous odds that con-
fronted the Great Western and establish
grain market certainly can withstand
the attacks OF competing lines in such an
emergency as the present one, is the way
the packers put it; They recall also,
how the Great Western stood out against
the former increases in meat rates and
gained by II.
Break it with Revenue!
But" said packing man, who has
much to do with rates, 1T is something of
an anomaly when you come to talk of
putting road out Of business by loading
onto 1t all the dressed beef traffic out OF
packing center like Omaha, Why, the
records show that the Great Westerns rev.
enues on this class OF freight are greater
per ton per mile than the general average
revenue. This is the most profitable sort
of traffic. How, then, are you going to
bankrupt a road by feeding II with such
traffic. il the road can care for the ton
