Regarding the tariff, Senator Bailey
said he believed in putting a higher
tariff on silks than on calico because
the one who can afford to wear silks
can we'll pay the duty.

ator referred to at some length He
denied emphatically that dishonesty is
as common as pictured by the muck
rakers.
This country" said he, need not
fear dishonesty among its repr esenta-
tives The real danger lies rather in
cowardice and ignorance. In 20 years
service in Congress l have no only
known 10 rascals but have met 10000
fools"
Senator Purcell said

The speaker closed with a predic-
ton of democratic success in the COM
ing election and said the party had q
right to expect New Jerseys aid in the
victory.
Senator Johnston devoted himself
largely to the tariff question.

PASSING OF THE COMET is OF
GREAT VALUE TO SCIENCE,

agreed that the passage would occupy
period of little more than five hours.
Sixteen cameras, especially constructed
for photographing the sky. and IA tele-
scopes were trained from this point on
the passage of the comet.
Fainstaking, capable men exercised care
in the arrangement and use of instru-
merits to assure complete and accurate
date and pictures. The party at the OBJ
servatory included the following scien-
lists. Pro. S. A. Mitchell of Columbia
university, New York; Prof. Edward B.
Frost, Prof. Sherburne W. Durham,
Prof. Edward A. Barnard Prof. John A.
Parkhurst, Prof. Storrs B. Barrett Prof.
Frederick Slocum Oliver ]. Lee and
Mary A. Calbert, a woman.
The battery of cameras covered every
visible foot of sky and hundreds of plates
were exposed. A number of cameras
were fixed on an axis revolving with ex-
treme slowness, with lenses constantly
on the comets glowing tail.
Although the moonlight was a slight
hardicap, the brilliantly clear sky and
favorable atmospheric conditions made
UP for it. With the particular object of
protographing meteors Professor Park

of the Carnegie outdoor photograph OBJ

WILLIAM j. BRYAN DECLARES
IN FAVOR OF LOCAL OPTION

Chicago May 1S.-As the guest of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America, here tonight William j. Bryan,
in bis first appearance on the lecture plat
form since his return from South Ameri-
ca, gave his lecture on the liquor issue.
Mr.. Bryan is on his way to Edinburgh,
Scotland. to attend an international meet
ing of temperance workers. Mr.. Bryan
discussed the liquor question from the
viewpoint of the individual and legisla-
ton.
Giving his views on sumptuary legisla-
ton and personal liberties he said
Il would not favor legislation forbid
ding the use of liquor at any time or
under any circumstances.
81 would consider this an unnecessary
limitation upon the liberty of the indi-
vidual. But am in favor of such restric-
ton as may seem necessary for the pro-
lection Of society.
THE first proposition which l would
lay down In the discussion of liquor legis-
lation is that the people have right to
fix the terms and conditions upon which
Intoxicating liquors shall be sold and
used.

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR MORSE
TO ESCAPE FEDERAL PRISON

to see in the act n of Judge Hale in
the Coleman case, pc for the release
of Banker Morse on the plea that his
sentence was illegal. In moving for sem
tence of Coleman. District Attorney
French read chapter 500 of the federal
statutes and called attention to the fact
that it provides for Imprisonment of not
less than one year and says nothing about
hard labor, while under the federal act
establishing the federal penitentiary 1t
is stated a prisoner can be sent to At
lanta only II his sentence calls for a
year or more at hard labor. He, there
fore, asked for a sentence to some jail.
and Judge Hale selected that at Green
field.
Legal friends of Mr. Morse argued to-
night that as he was sent to Atlanta for
violation of this same chapter 5209, he
may be held Illegally. Should this prove
true and providing the term of court
which sentenced him shall have expired,
1t is said he cannot be resentenced, and
his release may be secured on writ of
habeas corpus.

dead and injured persons.
The whole mammoth barracks was de-
stroyed. The adjacent row of officers
quarters was demolished and the whole
northern section of the city was deluged
with a torrent of fragments of masonry.
The explosions occurred at o'clock, a
few seconds before the men would have
quit work, and 1t is generally believed
that the first explosion resulted from the
accidental fall of a box of dynamite that
was being lifted on a wagon.
It is Impossible to determine at this
time absolutely the cause for the reason
that all persons in the immediate Vi
cinity were blown to fragments. 1t is

The work of exhuming the dead and
searching for those who still may be
alive is going on tonight, but Is greatly
retarded by the destruction of the cleo
trio light wires and the fear prevails
that a quantity of unexploded dynamite
yet remains in the ruins.
According to reports received here the
mangled bodies of the victims were found
in the streets of the city mile from
the scene Of the explosion. There is
great anxiety expressed in Havana, ow-
ing to the fact that a large number of
the rural guards at Pinal del Rio recently
were recruited from this city, where their
families reside.
General Monteagude. commanding the
rural guard, left tonight for Pima del
Rio with strong force to render all
possible assistance.

II hold that every unit ought to have
authority to act on this subject except as
it is restrained by larger unit-that is,
that the block, the ward, the city, the
precinct. the county. the state and the
nation should have the undisputed right
to exclude the sale of liquor as the peo-
pie Of the unit may deem necessary for
their protection and welfare.
II believe also that the larger unit has
right to control the smaller one on this

community can determine better than out
siders, and I have no disposition to lay
down rules upon this subject / content
myself with asserting the right of the
community to control and am willing that
the community shall decide this question
upon its own judgment.
"On the other hand when people of
any unit desire a saloon, they ought to
have It, provided that the people of the
larger unit consent. 1t cannot be argued
with justice that people of any ward or
town or county shall have the right to
open saloons without consulting a larger
unit, because the saloon at its best is a
menace and a demoralizing influence"
