threatening letters. Those who would
be guilty of such acts should be made
to suffer the extreme penalty of the
law. We assert with the fullest con-
fidence that the members of our union
are not and cannot be guilty of such a
crime. We further recognize that a
cause would be weak, indeed II its
advocates were called upon to resort to
such reprehensible methods. Our cause
is Just, and ii is in our opinion the
cause of the whole people Of the United
states. 1t is on such a high plane that
we have appealed openly to our legis-
latorS We have done nothing in Sc
cret. We know the art Of money-mak-
Ing. and We feel that in this respect
no other class of people is so well
qualified to speak for the entire body
OF our citizens.
We know that no method of printing
our securities is comparable to the hand
roller process. To make our money by
any other process necessitates the cheap
ening Of the engraving and the resultant
printing will inevitably be so inferior as
to endanger the money of the people
Counterfeiters will hail with joy the news
that the United States government has
adopted the cheaper and inferior method
Of printing money, and immense quanti-
ties of spurious notes are certain to be
injected into the volume of our Circulat-
ing medium.
What need Of men engaged in such
a cause to resort to the methods of the
black handers?' We are conscious of the
rectitude Of our intentions, and we ap-
peal TO the public and the press OF Wash
inGton to spurn for us, as we do ourselves,
the suggestion that we are in any degree
responsible for these anonymous writings
of criminals. GEORGE p. FOSTER.
Chairman Executive Committee, P1ate
Pnuters' Union"
Mr.. Foster, whose signature is affixed
to the statement said late last night that
the union had conducted a clean fight.
and that the threatening letters had been
sent to the officials named by persons
outside the organization. He also branded
as false the statement that Senator Smoot
had been refused an interview by the
plate printers officials.

W1CKERsHAM PRAISES HUGHES
Justice Is Guest of Honor of New
York County Bar.

New York, Feb. 1s.-Justice Hughes. of
the United States Supreme Court, handed
out some advice to young lawyers to-
night at the dinner the New York County
Lawyers Association gave in his honor
at the Hotel Astor. Alton B. Parker was
toastmaster. Speaking in public for the
first time since he left Albany for Wash
ington, Justice Hughes said to the law
yers.
mo lawyer can render higher serv-
ice to any court than complete. candid,
and intellectually honest presentation OF
his case"
Attorney General Wickersham, who fol-
lowed Justice Hughes. told the lawyers
that the burden of conservatism rests
upon them; that no ultra-democratic
laws can be fastened upon the people
without their approval.

bers began to cough and move away, and
he was finally told TO stop smoking.
IT move that be permitted to smoke"
said Mr.. Rucker, addressing the Chair.
sThe point is overruled." said Rep
resentative Olmstead, solemnly.
At 9:15 o'clock members began to ap-
pear in the House in evening dress. Word
was received that Representatives Malbys
of New York; Mckinley. OF Illinois, and
others had been found by the Sergeant
alarms at the Gridiron dinner, and that
they would be brought 10 the House. This
news cheered those House members who
bad remained at their desks throughout
the day and evening. UncleJoe' Cannon
vas at the Gridiron dinner, but as he
was scheduled to make a speech his
presence there was not noted by the
Sergeant-at-arms.
Not ut Gridiron Dinner.
Champ Clark was also invited to the
Gridiron dinner, but he felt that he would
better stay with his charges, and for that
reason he attended the night session Of
the House.
About 9:45 Representative Clayton
brought matters to an issue. He intro
duced a resolution instructing the Com
mittee on Rules TO report a special rule
for Monday and providing for a vote on
the measure at o'clock Tuesday. A
point of order was made by Representa-
tive Mann, which was sustained by the
Chair. Representative Clayton appealed
from the decision of the Chair. and upon
this Mr. Mann demanded a yea and nay
vote, which was ordered.
The House ordered the previous ques-
ton on the motion made by Representa-
tive Clayton appealing from the decision
of the Chair, Representative Olmsted
holding that the resolution was not in
order The Chair then put this question:
Shall the decision of the Chair stand
as the decision of the House,? The
House sustained the decision OF the Chair
by a vote of Is to 81.
Representative Prince, of Illinois, then
moved that the House resolve itself into
q Committee OF the Whole for the further
consideration of the bill. This was agreed
to- General debate upon the measures
thereupon was resumed.
Members Fail Asleep.
At 11:So O'Clock, under a rule adopted
earlier in the day, the debate was lin
tied to two hours and thirty minutes.
and that meant that the session would
last at least until o'clock in the morn
ing. The debate had not proceeded far
before members, worn out with their eN-
ertions of the last two days, began to
fall asleep, with their heads upon their
desks.
Representative Mann, the leader of the
filibuster, was wide awake, however, and
announced that he was ready to con-
tinue the fight indefinitely. The leaders
on both sides spelled each other, so
that they were able to catch a few winks
of sleep in corners of the chamber. At
midnight ii was a mighty worn and
sleepy looking aggregation, but there was
no prospect of a let up, and the situation
compelled an all-night session, with
possible continuation of the fibuster
throughout Sunday.
