In the Senate Friday Senator Owen
spoke in favor of postal savings banks
and incidentally in defense of the Ok
lahoma savings bank law. The Senate
practically cleared all bills from its
calendar. The hill for the payment Of
$287 900 on account of claims of letter
carriers because of extra service was
among those passed. Adjournment
was taken until Monday. Political
speeches delivered in time allotted for
debate on the postofiice bill character
lied the proceedings of the House. Rep
resentative Claude Kitchin of North
Carolina created amusement by ar
raigning the near insurgents" for
what he termed their hypocrisy in OPP
posing Speaker Cannon merely to
please their constituents and obtain
a reelection without any expectation
or desire of displacing the speaker. A
number of speeches were made in sup
port Of a policy for rapid extension
of the free delivery service and upon
other phases Of the postofiice bill.
The Senate was not in session Sat
urday. Eulogies upon the life and
character of General Lew Wallace in
connection with the acceptance by
Congress Of a statue of General Wal
lace presented by the State of Indiana
and debate upon the postofflce appro-
priation bill consumed the time of the
House.
At two hours session Monday the
Senate passed the Aldrich bill provid-
ing for commission of Senators, Rep
resentativSs and civil appointees> to he
selected by the President to supervise
the business methods of the executive
departments of the governmnt, by
which it is hoped to save s10O.000,000
a year. The postoffice appropriation
bill was under consideration in the
House during the entire session, which
lasted over six hours.
The Senate Tuesday passed several
bills. including private pensions and
providing for new public buildings
throughout the country. After a SEES

the completion of irrigation projects

purchase of $10.00O.0O0 worth Of real
estate in Washington for the future
uses of the government. Senators

spoke on the postal savings bank bill
the two last named favoring the
passage of that measure. while Sena

down proposition to provide resi-
dences in foreign capitals for diplo

BR|STOW FLAYS
RUBBER TRUST
says It Is Shown Speaker Made Mis-
take in Denying Less
Importatlons.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. Ex-senator
Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas, in his
speech here last night, which he stat
ed was in reply to the letter of Sena-
tor Nelson w Aldrich, defending him
self against the charges of the Kansas
senator relating to the tariff on rub
Der, launched into the subject by say
ing:
Senator Aldrich declares that the
Inter-Continental Rubber company is
not trust, and at the same time ad-
mits that it is a holding company"
Senator Bristow then took up Mr.
Aldrich's declaration that neither he
nor his family had profited directly or
indirectly by the tariff ON manufacture
ed rubber, adding "Yet he admits
that he is producing millions of pounds
of crude rubber per annum, selling it
to American manufacturers and that
he increased the duty on their products
when they did not need it for protec-
ton"
Going into the question Of organiza-
tion of the Inter-Continental Rubber
company, Senator Bristow quotes Mr..
Aldrich as saying that the Continental
Rubber company was organized under
the laws of New Jersey, January 20,
1908, and that the Continental Rub
Der company of America was organ
lied under the laws of New Jersey,
January S, 1906, and further that "Mr.
Aldrich says that the first two COM
panies named were subsidiary COM
panies of the Inter-Continental Rub
Der company. and that it owned all
of their stock, and that they were or
ganized for the sake Of convenience
Mr.. Bristow asked "how could they
be subsidiary companies of the Inter
! Continental Rubber company and or
ganized for its convenience when boil
Of them were organized before i
was ?"

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 13.-Many In
dians testified today before the con-
gressional committee. 1t is probable
that the commission will require an
other week to complete the evidence.
Its report to congress will deal with
two subjects. The first will be the
charges of Senator Gore that he was
offered bribe. The other feature
will be in the form Of representations
to congress for legislation to prevent,
in the future, the conditions which
brought about the present investiga-
ton.
It is the belief here that the govern
ment hereafter will take more arbi-

velt When asked if he thought he
was asked to join in the old contracts
because of his political influence and
acquaintance with Roosevelt, Lyon
said: 1T is possible, but fiatter my
self that it was partly my business
ability"
Lyon continued, Il told Secretary
Garfield that my employment in the
matter was to be open and above
board, and if there was anything secret
or improper with the contracts, /
would have nothing to do with them"
Lyon said that in the new contracts,
which are the cause of the present in
lvestigation he had no interest. Lyon
said that the statement made on the
floor of the house of representatives
by A. P. Murphy of Missouri, unjust
lly attacked me by saying McMurray
in lobbying for present contracts was
ably assisted by myself. That state
ment my Murphy was made either in
Ignorance or desire to misrepresent.'
