Some Resent Nebraskan's Inter
ference, While Others Line
Up with Him.

Washington. April s-Nhcther forty-one

st the present session formed the subject
Of an earnest and animated conference to-
day in which about fifteen Democratic SEN
stors took part. The meeting was held in
the committee rooms of Mr.. Stone. OF Mis-
sCuri.
The gathering grew out of the visit of
William j. Bryan. and was due to the pros
pet that Senator Martin. of Virginia,
would he elected chairman Of the Demo-
cratic caucus. Mr.. Bryan is understood TO
have advised his intimate friends in the
Senate TO select some other man more IA
vorable TO the BRYAN policies He expressed
no personal opposition TO Mr. Martin, but
urged that the party should take advan-
tage of its present great opportunity. lie
thought this could he done only through an
aggressive policy. to which. In Mr.. Bryan's
opinion. Mr.. Martins leadership would not
be favorable.
AS many of the Democratic Senators had
league, the suggestion was embarrassing.
and conservative Senators expressed resent
ment at Mr. Bryan's interference.
The conference lasted four hours. and
the only definite conclusion reached was 20
ask that the caucus set for tomorrow be
postponed until Friday. The Senate Will
not be in session Friday. thus giving fur
ther opportunity for exchanging views
The scope Of to-day's discussion expanded
from caucus leadership TO the legislative
programme. All the Senators present ex-
Jressed themselves as favorable TO the
piLns adopted by the House Democratic
caucus last Saturday This programme
embraces approval of the constitutions of
New Mexico and Arizona. including the
recall provision in the latter: the accept

CARDINAL ON TRUSTS
Proclaims Right of the People to
Honest Treatment.
nv Telegraph 70 The Tribune

Q
Baltimore. April 5.-"An important con-
dition in the Industrial development of this
country" said Cardinal Gibbons. in an in
terview hero TO-DAY. is the fact that the
right of the people TO fair and honest treat
ment by the big business interests is daily
becoming more widely recognized by broad
minded and progressive men.
Laws are being passed and enforced for
the proper regulation and control Of great
corporations. particularly public service
companies and the rights of the people are
each year being better guarded and pro-
tected This is ds il should be; IT creates
honesty in business relations and without
honesty there can he no real progress.
The public has a right 70 exercise intel
ligent control over corporations which serve
it with neccssaries. No friend of his race
can contemplate without painful emotions,
heartless mOnopoists exhibiting a grasp
ing avarice which has dried up every SEN
timent Of sympathy in the public and crc-
ated a sordd sefshness which i deaf
y cries Of Justice and fair treatment
Public control and regulation will pre-
vent such conditions. The healthy combina-
ton Of human forces in the economic world
can accomplish results which could not be
effected by any individual efforts
