of the gentleman, who, in an underhand and covert manner, resorted to this means of rehecting upon his colleagues
 T only regret, MT. Chairman, that the gentleman from Alabama is not present, because if he were I would not feel the same restraint that I do in submitting these observations to the House.
 When Mir. Fitzgerald had delivered this parting shot, MT Hay asked unanimous consent of the House to take up the cudgel in his own defense. He had sev- eral paragraphs of MT. Hobsons speech read. The paragraphs objected to were as follows:
 For the first time since I have been in Congress, probably for the first time since the oldest member here can remem- Der, we find politics carried into the con- mittees on national defense. The gentle man from Virginia having failed to get his legislative measures, one of which provided for the advancement of the ad- jutant general to the rank of lieutenant general, before the general caucus of the democratic party, did succeed, by the use of his position as chairman, in getting 1t before a caucus of the democratic mem- bers of the committee on military affairs.
 q have never heard of a caucus being called inside the naval committee or the commmttee on military affairs. It is not surprising, however, that the gentleman felt the need of caucus action for meas ures such as he advocated. Think of proposition to make a lieutenant general, a rank higher than any rank that exists In the army, for an officer who has spent the last 26 years of his life at desk in Washington In a clerical and adminstra- tive capacity, We have created this exalted rank for officers of renown, who commanded armies successfully in the face of the enemy

Way to Serve Country

Way to Serve Country
 After several other remarks S, MT. Fit4- gerald said in part:
 50 long as I am member of the House. I feel an obligation to remain here and to attend to my duties as a representative of the district from which I come. No matter how impor- tant a message I may have in my own mind to deliver to the people of the country, I believe I can more effective ly deliver that message and more faith fully discharge the duties devolving upon me as a representative of the peo- pie by staying here and, in my humble way. doing the drudgery of the work of the House day in and day out rather than to take the compensation given me under the law as representative of the people and go out to deliver messages at price paid by outside persons. The gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Hob son) came to this House from the Chau- tauqua circuit and delivered an assault upon the gentleman from Virginia (Mr Hay) during the consideration of the army appropriation bill. He criticised the 'railroading' of the bill through the House and his inability to obtain time in which to discuss important features in IL, although the bill had been under discussion here for two weeks, and had
 he been here attending to his duties as a representative, and not chasing the phantoms to whom he was attempting 1 to deliver some maginarv message on | behalf of the American people, he could | have delivered what he had to say here | for the information and enlightenment | of his colleag gues. To the credit of this | House let it be said that the House has
 not the same high opinion of the value | of his statements as he seems to have | of them, and it gives the attention to | them that he should expect when they
 are delivered in the manner in which | they are to the House.
 | He charged conspiracy on the part of certain members of the House in ob- taining information in an improper man. ner and entering into combinations for | the purpose of influencing legislation | and. like many men in similar positions | he assumed that he was possessed of all | the patriotism of the House. and as- | sumed to warn his party colleagues not | to imperil the country or the national de- fense
 "Underhand" Manner Used MT Speaker, I have much more con-
 fidence in gentlemen who spend here not
 only the winter months but also the hot
 summer days, in this House in an honest attempt to frame legislation which will result benefcially to the country than I have for the offhand opinions of gentle
 men possessed of the notion that they pos
 sess some message which must be deliv-
 cred to the people through the chautauqua platform to the neglect of duties they
 are called upon to perform by the peo- pie.
 Under the rules of the House, the two
 columns of the Record which he inserted may properly be stricken out. but I prefer to leave them there They will not hurt
 me in any place. and they will serve as an illustration of the type and character

Quotes HObsOn's Remarks

" The gentleman, referring, how ever, to the gentleman from Virginia. MT Hay. refers disda ainfuly to the Chautaqua platform, l do not know If
 this is due to his never having had any
 call for his own services or to his hay
 ing no message worth while to deliver.
 For my part, am proud of the fact that
 on the Chautaqua platform and lyceum
 platform my services are in constant
 demand, and that the message I feel I
 bear to the American people is gladly received by them
 "The gentleman from Alabama has in serted matter under what he presumes to be a leave to print. but which is, in the form in which he has inserted it. breach of the privileges of the House. The statement refers to myself in some aspects and l wish to give 1t some at tention. As the gentleman could not
 utter 1t on the floor, and perhaps would not have uttered it on the floor, I do not propose that anybody shall insert
 covertly into the Record any statement without having at least some brief att tention pa i'd to it."

The Attack on Hohson

Tn view of the wide interest aroused by the attack on Congressman Hobson in the House last Saturday, the follow ing account of the incident taken from the Washington Herald will prove of interest in Alabama
 Had Richmond Pearson Hobson, hero Of the Merrimac, been present in the House Saturday, he would have been subjected to a rain of verbal hot shot that would have equaled in heat the fire of the Spanish gunners during his fla nous exploit in Cuba. In the absence of MT Hobson the Congressional Record was the recipient of the attack, and the members of the lower house of Con gress looked on and alternately laughed and applauded
 The attack was made by Representa- . tive Fitzgerald of New York, chairman of the House appropriations committee. and Representative Hay, chairman of the House military committee. These two members denounced the action of Representative Hobson in inserting into the Congressional Record statements about both of them which he did not make on the floor of the House Friday during the discussion of the army bill.
 Chasing Phantoms''
 MT Fitzgerald declared that Hobson was ''neglecting his duty as a member
 
 on the Chautauqua platform and deliy- ering imaginary messages to the people" Mir Hay rose to the attack by saying: T regret very much that the gentleman from Alabama is not present so that l might characterize his covert attack as 1t deserves"
 The attack was started by MT. Fitz- gerald. who, rising to the question of personal privilege. stated that during the consideration of the army approprf- alton bill Friday an amendment was of fered by MT. Hobson upon which much discussion centered. He then stated MT. Hobson had found some difficulty in making all the remarks he desired on the floor of the House and had taken leave to extend his remarks In the Record" MT. Fitzgerald then asked that the remarks of Mir Hobson insert ed in the Record. in so far as they ap piled to himself be read. This was done. MT. Fitzgerald then said:
 MT. Speaker, I telephoned the office of the gentleman from Alabama, MT Hobson, this morning for the purpose of requesting him to be present in the House. I was informed that he had lert the city last night and probably would not return before a week from next Monday. In the remarks inserted in the Record the gentleman from Alabama has this paragraph:

Speaks of "Sandbag Methods"

The true measure of the inwardness of the attitude of the gentleman from Vir- ginia can be understood when we see the ruthless way in which he proposed to cut down the pay of enlisted men and officers serving under implied contracts in the sickness and exposure of the tropics in the name of economy and at the same time proposed the astounding extravaganza of giving the rank and pay of lieutenant general to bureaucratss Even the leverage of the position. of chairman and the sandbag method of committee caucus could not carry through the latter proposition, but the efforts of the gentle man from Virginia have succeeded in placing our party in the position of un- dertakng to reorganze the army through riders on an appropriation bill"
 MT. Hay then said:
 MT. Speaker, l regret very much that the gentleman from Alabama (Mr Hob son) is not present, so that might char acterize this covert attack as it deserves. I would not take it up in his absence did I not think it due to myself. as well as to the members of the committee on mill itary affairs, to repel the insinuations which the gentleman from Alabama has made. These remarks resulted because l declined to revise the remarks that I had made on a previous day in response to speech and an attack directed at me by the gentleman from Alabama l want to say now that these remarks, in serted in the Record in covert way in way to which no man would resort if he had the frankness of spirit which a man should have are false insinuations without basis or foundation in fact, and affairs and in my own name I repel and repudiate them

Might Be Better Democrat

"The gentleman's reference to. a demo- cratic caucus and to the fact that I was unable to get this bill before it is an insinuation which every member of that caucus knows to be untrue. They know that that bill was not taken up because they declined at that time to take up any measure of any sort, and that the merits of the bill were not gone into by that caucus in any way. The statement that there was a caucus in the sense of there being any meeting of the majority members of the committee on military affairs to bind them to vote for any pro- vision in this bill is absolutely without any foundation in fact. 1 had the right, which l exercised, to consult with my colleagues on that committee with regard to legislation pending before 1t; and if the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Hobson) would consult more with his democratic colleagues he would appear more as q democrat on this floor than he now does.
 Tn conclusion, MT. Speaker, l want to say that no effort has been made by me to unduly advance the fortunes of any man, and I am here to ayow that anything l placed in that bill when it came be- fore the House could have been justified by me, and I stand ready to meet any re- sponsble, criticism from any responsible party, made in any fair, frank and hon est manner.'

TAFT SPEAKS IN HOME STATE.
CCoRtinued from Page H.

making total of 10 speeches for the
day.
President Taft commented on the
Payne tariff bill, the corporation tax,
the Elkins railroad bill, conservation
and the employers liability act.
The president declared that Roose-
welt and Senator Dixon, his present
campaign manager, in coalition with
the United States senate, has emascu-
lated the English and French arbitra-
tion treaties, which were "the great
est step toward universal peace ever
taken in America
President Taft's references to Roose
welt in his speech here were consider
ably toned down in spite of the ef-
forts of the crowd to incite the presi-
dent to fury by cheering every refer
ence which he made to Roosevelt. The
president declined to get excited and
contented himself with discussing
Roosevelt's reckless accusations"
