still going on during the night session
Of the senate. In order TO impeach BiIbo
two-thirds OF the members Of the senate
must vote for the action Bilbo and his
friends are making a strong fight against

Of detective. and they assert that his

If Any Money Was Paid for His
Election, He Does Not Know II.
Senator Percy. of Mississippi. denied
absolutely yesterday that there had been
any bribery or attempted bribery Of
members of the Mississippi legislature
to bring about his election. His denial
was called out by the publication in
morning newspapers OF the alleged con-
fession Of State Senator Theodore G.
Bilbo that he accepted $3.50 in return for
his vote.
Senator Percy's statement was as fol-
lows:
Il am absolutely without any knowledge
or information on the subject, except
such as contained in the dispatches. II

TO make, certainly entirely unnecessary

AGAIN ATTACKS WICKERNHAM
Representative Martin Asks Size of
Fee in Sugar Trust Case.
Colorado Member Also Criticises the
War Department on Sale of
Philippine Friar Lands.

Representative Martin, of Colorado,
made another attack upon Attorney Gen
eral Wiekersham in the House yesterday,
reiteratng his statements about the sale
OF many acres Of the Philippine friar
lands to the sugar trust under a ruling
by The Department of Justice.
''The Attorney General admits that his
law partner was engaged by the sugar
trust several years ago." said Mr.. Martin,
referring to the letter of Mr.. Wicker
sham, read in the House on Monday, in
which he denied that he had ever been
retained by the sugar trust,
II want the Attorney General to tell
this House the amount OF the fee re-
ceived by his law firm. and whether or
not he participated in that fee
Il understand that this fee was one
Of the biggest in the history of American
litigation. I am informed that the
sugar trust by the Pennsylvania Sugar
Company involved SSO,OO0.OOo. and that the
suit eventually was settled for 81, 100000.
If the Attorney General will make a
full and complete admission as to the
connection OF his law firm with this
case, and the amount of fee received, he
can depend upon it that this House and
the country Will render a just verdict"
Mr.. Martin criticised Mr.. Wickersham
for failing TO defend his decision in the
friar lands case. In that decision the
Attorney General held 10 be valid the
sale of 5000 acres of Philippine sugar
lands to a representative of the Have
meyers
The War Department informed the
Committee on Insular Affairs" continued
Mr.. Martin, that it knew nothing Of this
sale until il was reported in the public
prints. Yet the facts are that the Attor-
ney General was requested for an opinion
December 4; that the sale was made De-
cember 6, but that the opinion was not
rendered until December IS. This means
that the sale was consummated two DAYS
after the opinion was eonsumated two
days after the opinion was asked for and
twelve days before Il was announced.
Why did the War Department ask for
such an opinion in advance If Il knew
nothing Of the sale until it was reported
in the papers7"

SCENTS COAL COMBINE.
Panama Railroad Directors May
Purchase Fuel Privately.

Purchase Fuel Privately.
A meeting of the board Of directors OF
the Panama Railroad Company was held
here yesterday. The principal business
before the meeting was the question of
the annual COIL supply for The railroad
on the isthmus. and for the steamers
plying between New York and Colon.
All the bids which were opened recently
in New York for furnishing approximate
~ 500 tons of Pocahontas or New River
coal were regarded as excessive. There
was also a striking similarity in the bids,
which gave rise to suspicious that a com
bination had been effected TO raise the
price OF the coal
In view of these circumstances. the
board ordered the rejection Of all the bids
and directed that new proposals be re-
quested. II coal cannot be obtained for
a satisfactory price when the new bids
are opened. high officer OF the govern
ment said, the railroad company will
avail Itself of It's right 10 purchase it's
supply OF coal by private contract
While the officers of the government ad-
nit that the price of coal has increased
recently. they are unwilling TO pay more
than $3.50 per ton for coal. The purchas-
ing officer of the railroad was authorized
to contract for next months supply of
coal at $3.50 per ton.

bot TINE OYER ARMY BILL
Retired Officers Measure Will Go to
House as Amended.
Gen. Sherwood Relieved OF Charge
of 1t Upon Ethical Grounds
He Suggests.

The House Committee on Military AZ
fairs had a warm session yesterday over
the reconsideration of the amendment by
Representative Sherwood to the retired
army officers bill, granting disabled old
soldiers a pension Of 81 per day. The bill
was reported q few days ago, after a
sharp fight in committee, and yesterday
the committee endesvored to recall the
bill. but failed Many amendments 10 the
Sherwood provision were offered but
voted down. An attempt was made TO
refer it to the Secretary Of the Interior
to ascertain the probable cost Of such
pension bill. but this also failed. Finally
by majority OF three votes, the COM
mittee again voted to report the bill, with
the Sherwood amendment 10 the House
Gen Sherwood, himself an ex-army Of
ficer. who was previously placed in
charge OF the bill, asked the committee
yesterday 10 relieve him OF the duty, as
he. as an ex-officer, would be entitled to
some benefit under its provisions, and he
did not desire TO have his attitude oues-
toned on that score On his motion.
Representative Prince, OF Illinois. was
placed in charge OF the bill and will push
II for passage.
The bill provides a retirement on one
third or one-fourth pay for army officers,
depending upon their length OF service.
The Sherwood amendment would give the
old soldier privRtes who become ineapaci-
tated as the result OF service. the uniform
pension Of $50 per month.
The speeches in committee were more
or less torrid. and the fight ragged for
two hours. Now that the bill is again be-
fore the House, it Is predicted that its
passage by the House Is practically GER
tain.

HITS AT ROOSEVELT.
Senator Clark Criticises Action of
Former President in Land Gases.

Senator Clark Criticfses Action of
Former President in Land Gases.
Senator Clark. OF Wyoming. called at
tention in the Senate yesterday TO the
action of former President Roosevelt in
withdrawing eleven million acres of pub
lie lands for forest reserves when he had
upon his table before him for his sig
nature bills that had passed both houses
Of Congress enacting that no further
withdrawals should be made by the
President in certain States without the
consent Of Congress.
With much earnestness. Senator Clark
declared that it was to prevent such per-
formances that Congress was seeking to
pass legislation to prevent any officer
Of the government in the future exer-
cising such control over the public lands
of the country.
Senator Clarks statement was made IN
the course of a speech by Senator Cham
berlain, Of Oregon, on conservation. Sen
ator Smoot defended President Roose-
velts action. BY questioning, Senator's
Bailey and Clark brought out the ad
mission from Senator Smoot that the
lands withdrawn by the President had
not even been plated. and the President
had no definite idea of whether the lands
were forest or agricultural lands.
