ON CRITICS
Representative Davis Defends
Course in Day Portrait Case.
jEERED BY REPUBLICANS
Declares He Has Been Attacked Be-
fore by Unearthing Graft.
NO REFLECTION ON JOHN HAY
Representative Foster Denies That
There Has Been Found Indica-
ton of Misappropriation.

Representative Charles r. Davis of
Minnesota, an insurgent republican,
made a warm speech in the House to-
day, in which he denounced his re-
publican colleagues on the committee
on expenditures in the Department Of
State for their criticism of his action
in signing the democratic report on the
Day portrait scandal. Mr. Davis par
ticularly paid, his respects to Represent
atives Wedemeyer Of Michigan and Till
son of Connecticut, who prepared the
minority report containing the state
ment that Representatives, Hamlin Of
Missouri and Dent Of Alabama. demo-
Gratis, and Mr.. Davis, "descended to the
lowest depths of unfairness' in recon-
mending the dismissal from the public
service Of W. NJ Michael, now United
States consul at Calcutta. and Thomas
Morrison, the disbursing ofioer of the
State Department
The Hamlin-D ent-Da%s REPORT held
Michael and Morrison to be responsible
in q measure for the disappearance OF
81 900, a voucher for s., $50 having been
made out to pay for the Day portrait.
and on which Albert Rosenthal, the artist.
received only $3.50.
Mr. Davis was very hot over the anf-<
madversions cast upon his attitude in the
Day case In laying the groundwork
for his address Mr. Davis quoted freely
from the Tilson-Wedemeyer report,
which in one paragraph referred to Mr..
Davis "as being of one mind with the
other two members of the subcommittee"
Mr.. Davis got his language twisted and
read Mr.. Davis was Of one mind with
the other democrats on the committee"
The republicans jeered at this slip Of the
tongue and jeered again when Mr.. Davis
corrected himself.
He should not have corrected himself
yelled a member on the republican side;
"he really belongs on the democratic
side"
No Reflection on John Hay.
Mr. Davis insisted that the evidence
justified the condemnation of Michael and
Morrison and emphatically denied that
an attempt had been made, as alleged
in the Tillson- Wedemeyer report. Ito be-
smrch the character of the late John
Hay"
The democrats wildly applauded Mr..
Davis when he remarked that the demo-

WANTS CARLOAD OF BABIES.
Big Demand in Fort Worth, Texas
For New York FOundlings.

Because the stork is making few
visits in Fort Worth, Texas, there is
big shortage in the local baby mar
ket. To relieve this shortage the
United Charities Association of New
York city announces that at the re-
quest of many young married coup
les charity associations in new York
had been written asking that a car
load of infants ranging between 2
months and years be sent to Fort
Worth. A carload of babies, in the
charge of nurses, has been sent to
Houston, where homes have already
been found for them.
The United Charities Association
tried to obtain a few Of these, but
the demand in Houston was greater
than the supply, so Fort Worth has
ordered a car of it's own. Four
months ago several carloads of New
York infants were distributed at New
Orleans, Dallas and San Antonio,
and many young wives actually be-
sieged the train in efforts to obtain a
baby,
While Texas has ousted trusts no
law has been passed against Stork

goods in his state has not been ex-
planned.

Finest Tenor Appeals Only to Guilt

Finest Tenor Appeals Only to Guilt
waited Musicians, Not Atlantans.
The expected has happened. Off
cial announcement is made that the
wonderful Caruso is not to sing dur
ing the grand opera season in Allan
ia the latter part of April
The Italian is said to be suffering
with bad throat, so his part of the
engagement has been cancelled. For
the opera The Girl of the Golden
West" the opera "Otello" has been
substituted with Leo Slezak in the
tenor role.
AS a matter of brass tacks the
mass Of people who came here last
year to hear Caruso were disappoint-
ed, and other singers were far great
er popular favorites. Caruso proba-
bly, has the greatest tenor in the
world, but it reaches only the cult
waited musical as a rule.
Slezak is considered by many as
second only to Caruso, and his sing
ing usually appeals to more people
even than the great Italian. The gen
eral opinion is that the grand opera
season has not been weakened by the
substitution of Slezak for Caruso.
