DEMOCRATS HAD THE SENATE
UNEXPECTED SITUATION THREW
INSURGENT REPUBS IN RAGE.
Out of Chaos Came Cotton Bill, Sem
ator Bacon Winning Out Over
Republican LaFOlIette.

WASHINGTON.-A shrewd move
by the regular republicans as unex-
pected as it was effective today sud
denly threw the democrats into Gem
plete control of the senate in their
own right and forced them absolutely
to abandon their coalition with the
progressive republicans.
Out of the chaos and the uproar
came a bill to revise the cotton sched-
ule of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
1T was an amendment to the cotton
Dill offered by Senator Bacon of Geor-
gla, and was adopted by a vote of
28 to %. 1t provides the revision of
iron and steel, the cotton machinery
and chemical schedules of the tariff
law coupled with a provision for re-
ciprocal free trade in bituminous
coal across the Canadian border.
1t had generally been supposed
that the senate would adopt the
LaFollette amendment.
An amendment offered by Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, reducing
the duty on certain kinds of cotton
machinery to 80 per cent ad valorem
was carried SO to %.
Democratic votes alone were cast
in favor of the bill. The regular re-
publicanS deliberately absented them
selves from the chamber and thus
left their progressive colleagues in a
hopeless and helpless minority. The
insurgents, taken completely by sur
prise, were thrown into a rage AL
ternately they denounced what they
termed the treachery of the demo-
Gratis with whom they had been in
alliance and inveighed against the
regular republicans for the part they
had played in the new combination,
which had brought about revolu-
ton in the senate as startling and
sensational as the coalition which
earlier had robbed the regular repub-
icans of their supremacy in the up
per house of congress.
In vain the insurgents invoked all
but forgotten rules of the senate to
compel the regulars to attend and to
cast their votes. Senatorial courte-
sy, SO long revered and jealousy de-
tended, was tossed to the winds. The
insurgents charged that the demo-
Gratis had broken faith, although in
caucus last night the latter had de-
termined to carry through an insur-
gent-democratic program on the cot
ton bill which would have included
the adoption of a LaFollette substi-
tute for the house measure. They
insisted the democrats had entered
into an agreement or understanding
with the regulars to leave progress
ives in the lurch-
Neither the regular republicans
nor the democrats would admit that
such an understanding existed, but
Senator Bristow of Kansas boldly de-
clared that he had overheard con-
versation between Senator Johnston
of Alabama, a democrat, and Senator
Penrose of Pennsylvania, the regular
republican leader, that left no doubt
in his mind.

SOLONS PASSED EN- FAST
APPROPRIATION BILLS WENT
SAILING THROUGH LAST DAY.
Ignored the Governors Demand That
appropriations Be Cut, and Put
Money Bill Through in Hurry.

ATLANTA.-Upon the subject of
special appropriations the senate and
the house have arranged a love
feast. Graciousness predominated in
the actions of both houses this morn
ing, when the house ratified the SEN
ate's cuts in the general appropria-
ton bill, and the senate, equally as
polite, passed the special appropria-
ton measures of the house in toto.
To the tune of $131,485, and with
only a dissenting voice raised here
and there, the senate went through
the special appropriations in jig time.
AS fast as the bills could be read
and voted upon they were passed.
Notwithstanding the governors
message stipulating that a cut must
be made and the futile arguments of
few of the watchdogs of the treas
ury who predicted dire things for
the financial condition of the state,
the senate played Castor to the
houses Alphonse. The swap was
made and the bills passed.
The full number of special house
appropriation bills passed by the SEN
ate without material amendment
were:
The Georgia Normal School at Mil
ledgeville for a dormitory, $4,000.
To veterans for pensions not re-
ceived last year, $4,000.
To reimburse the trustees of the
70 A g.,
a library, $4,874.75.
To pay the expenses of the com
mittee on the executive mansion,
$24O.
To the Tenth District Agricultural
School, $1,000
To meet a deficiency in the print
ing fund, $4,000.
Per diem and mileage of the late
H. G. Smith to go to his widow,
$217.20.
To the state veterinary department
for the manufacture of hog cholera
serum, $4,000.
To build an annex to the hospital
at the Confederate Soldiers Home,
$4,000.
To pay witnesses summoned in an
investigation of the convict lease sys-
tenn in 1908, $270.13.
To the state department of ento-
mology for the prevention of dis
eases of cotton, $4,000.
To found an agricultural college
at Valdosta, $25, 900.
To meet deficiency in the public
building fund, $4,000.
To meet a deficiency in the con-
tingent fund, $3,3S0.22.

JOKER IN RAILROAD TAX BILL.
WOULD HAVE MEANT MILLIONS
FOR THE CORPORATIONS.
Joe Hall Discovered 1t, and Led Sue
cessful Fight to Have 1t Stricken
From the Measure.

ATLANTA. Discovering what he
termed a dangerous joker" in the
bill to require railroads and other
corporations making returns to the
controller general to pay their taxes
on September 1 instead of December
20, as at present, Joe Hill Hall of
Bibb prevented the passage of that
measure today, and it comes up for
further consideration at tomorrow
mornings session of the house
This BILL another of the measures
suggested by Governor Smith to en-
able the state to make prompt pay
ment to it's school teachers, provides
that these corporations shall make
their returns on March 1, and pay
their taxes on September 1.
Then the bill contains a section pro-
viding that the right of arbitration
shall be preserved, that all arbitra-
tions shall be concluded by or before
July 1, and that this section shall
not be construed to prevent any
changes in the present plan of arbi-
tration which the legislature may
hereafter decide upon. This is the
provision which Mr. Hall declared
dangerous.
After the passage of the measure
had been advocated by Mr.. Anderson
of Chatham Mr. Hall offered an
amendment to strike out the arbitra-
ton feature. He said it proposed to
write into the state constitution a
guarantee to corporations alone He
said he had been fighting the pres
ent plan of arbitrations for years, as
| it had enabled the corporations to
| rob the state of millions. No wonder,
he said, that the corporations had
given their consent to the enactment
of this bill when they got so much
! in exchange for it.
Mr.. Alexander and others favored
the bill and contended that the right
or arbitration should be guaranteed
! The house finally adopted the Hall
amendment, striking the arbitration
featuee by vote of "a to 81.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS At ODDS
NOW ADMITTED THAT HARMONY
HAS TAKEN FLIGHT.
Differences Between Speaker Clark,
Radical, and Leader Underwood,
"a Conservative, the Trouble.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-Presiden-
tial politics are being played in the
house of representatives these days.
Developments growing out of the at
tack of Leader Underwood on Bryan
and the attack of Leader Underwood
on Representative Ollie James of
Kentucky may shape the nomination
of the democratic candidate for presi-
dent. Not only this, but they may
shape the result of the next election.
Until now statesmen have been
talking about the democratic split in
the house with bated breath and in
whispers. Now they are beginning
to talk it loud and say what they
think without lowering their voices.
1t is no longer any secret that there
is serious division among the house
democrats. The inevitable lines of
cleavage are beginning to appear.
Harmony Disappears.
Leader Underwood and Speaker
Champ Clark are no longer in har-
mony and accord. The friends of
William Jennings Bryan are likewise
angry at the Alabama member, and
there are complications of grave
meaning to the democratic party.
Out Of this situation may come a
tremendous movement of the house
radical democrats for Champ
Clark for president. 1t is not at all
unlikely that the present house diff
ferences will work out to the advant-
age of Clark and to the disadvantage
OF other presidential candidates, Jud-
son Harmon and Woodrow Wilson.
When the present session of con-
gress opened everybody marveled at
the remarkable harmony displayed in
the democratic house. The republi-
cans looked on and lamented. They
said that if it kept up they could not
hope to win in 1912. 1t was general
ly supposed that Leader Underwood
and Speaker Clark were going to OBJ
crate in complete accord, and that
the Underwood influence was going
to be exerted to boost Charap into the
white house.
Where They Part Company.
Now it has become pretty plain
' OA1uOI "OOu, VINO is essentially a
conservative, and Clark, who is es-
sentially radical, are not going to
! stand hitched up together. The I'm
derwood influence is expected to 90
IN the Harmon direction rather than
IN the direction either of Clark or
| wilson. With the able Chairman of
the ways and means committee win
go large share of the conservative
democrats of TIE house.
Under the circumstances. with or,
lie James bent on fighting Underwood
ana backed by strong force of the.
radicals or prOgressives on the demo-
cratic side, and with the BRYAN snn-
porters turned against Underwoof
there is a natural disposition among
the radicals to help along the
Clark. Np0"Aeh
1t is quite clear that there &c
serious element of danger for the
democrats in the troubles in the
mouse. Try as they will the bonse
democrats cannot long keen sunnresg-
cd the fact that part of their MN
Der are conservative or reactionarv
ana part of them are radical or nro,
gressive. VI plO-
Inc more this split is empbaqiza3

THROWN DOWN STAIRS.
 HEAD GUT. OPEN
Charles solsfski Covered with Blood Whom Brought to Police Station Two Men ArrUst1d.

About ten. o'clock Sunday evening Policeman Cowles brought two men to police station, Charles SOlofski, the younger, being covered with blood from head to foot from a wound on the top of his head. The injured man and his brother in .law claimed that the man with them. Frank Miller, had, with another. pushed the injured man down some outside stairs, causing the wound. Policemen Cowles and McFad- den later went to the house. and se- cured the other man, Charles Arokof- ski, and he was locked up. Dr. J. J, Donol1ue was called and dressed the wound Solofski had received, 1t be- ing two inches long, on the top of his head
 There was a christening in a Bu- kofski family in Thames street below Pages lane, at which there were many present. The injured man had invited Miller to drink. Miller's wife was trying to get her husband home and tried to get him away, but he was going for the drink. There fol- lowed some trouble in the yard, so it is stated. and the injured man said that the two arrested pushed and kicked him down some stairs, the brother-in-law claiming they said: Well kill Charley and put him in the river.'' Miller denied the part he is alleged to have taken in the af- fair and was quite indignant when he was locked up on their complaint. The wife and daughter and the board mistress Of Arokofski made efforts to get them out, but without avail.
