WILLIAMS
RAPS ROOSEVELT
PARODIES APOSTLES CREED IN
SENSATIONAL ATTACK.
BRlSToW DEPENDS COLONEL
Charges That Ex-President's Private At
fairs Were Delved Into-Says TAX
About Suppression of Harvester
Matter Is Nonsense.

Washington.-The first sensational
political debate in the senate at this
session OF congress broke over Col. Roose-
velt's official correspondence about the
International Harvester Company, when
lie was president, in 1907.
Senator Bristow, OF Kansas, was the
principal speaker in support OF Col.
Roosevelt, and Senator John Sharp Will
liams, OF Mississippi, was the former
presidents principal assailant. Mr.. Will
liams characterized the former president
as a modest Caesar, willing to seize
power by any MEANS" while Mr.. Bristow
defended the colonel as the modern
tribune of the people, and warmly criti-
cized President Taft's administration.
The debate became almost ultra-sensa-
tional when Senator Williams read to
the senate a parody on the Apostles
Creed, as follows:
Il believe in Theodore Roosevelt,
maker of noise and strife, and in am
bition, his only creed (my Lord). He
was born of love of power, and suffered
under William II. Taft; was crucifed,
dead and buried. He descended into
Africa. The third year he rose again
from the jungles, and assembled into
favor, and sitteth on the right hand of
his party, whence he shall come ia
scourage the licked and the dead.
6" believe in the Outlook, the big
stick. the Ananias Club, the forgiveness
of political activity, the resurrection OF
presidential ambitions, and the third
term everlasting. Amen, amen, amen
The debate was precipitated by Sen
ator Bristow's return to his charge that
collision had existed between the sen
ate and department Of justice in the
sending OF the official correspondence.
1T would have to be a matter Of
grave public concern, in which vital inter
ests OF the country were affected" re
turned Senator Bristow, "before l woult
dig up the confidential correspondence o.
my predecessors secretary and his cab
met officers in regard to the matter,
which he had a perfect right to bel;ev,
would be kept within the confidence o.
the department and print them TO,
political campaign purposes"

YECCS GET AWAY
WITH $1,000 CASH
CITIZENS OF MIDLAND, ARK, MADE
FIGHT BUT LOST.
SET FIRE TO BANK BUILDING
Fire Was Extirguished, but VALUABLE
Papers Were neutrality-suspicious.
Which Came Late at Night
Awakened Town.

Fort Smith, Ark.-A small party oi
citizens fought q twO-hours battle with
four robbers at Midland, thirty miles
south OF here, but the m%arauders es-
capped with loot estimated at $4,000.
Four explosions wrecked the vault OF the
Bank of Midland, awakening the towns
people.
The robbers set fire to the bank build
ing upon taking flight and valuable pa
pers burned will probably double the
loss. The flames, however, were soon
extinguisl,ed.
Tine entry of the robbers into the town
was accomplished quietly, and, it is be-
lieved, an hour u more after midnight.
Evidences of their work OF preparation
shows that the robbery had been care
fully planned. The telephone exchange
is in the second story of the bank build
ing. All wires were cut. The first eX-
plosion was muffled and created no wide
spread alarm, although several persons
told of having been awakened by it and
OF having gone back to sleep only to be
awakened by the second, which was fol-
lowed by a third OF greater force than
those preceding.
Realizing that something was amiss
people began communication with neigh.
bors in all sections OF the little town.
Almost every able-bodied man in Midland
was awake when the fourth explosion
occurred. Attempts to Use the telephone
led to the suspicion that robbers were at
work. Men hastily armed themselves
and crept toward the bank. Shots from
lookouts greeted them and a running
fight began betwee the robbers and
men behind trees, fences and hidden
around corners from the bank. The rob-
bers kept up their end of the battle
until, apparently, their ammunition gave
out. When no shots from the bank an
swered the townspeople, the building was
surrounded and searched. This showed
that the robbers had taken flight. A
posse hastily formed and trailed the rob
bers several miles, but without effect.

Torpedo Boats Sail

San Diego, Cal.-With all lights
masked, their docks piled rail high with
coal and every effort made at secrecy,
the torpedo boat destroyers Preble and
Perry left for the south at midnight.
So well was the movement concealed
that not until the arrival of fishing
boats from the south was the fact OF
their departure known. Magdalena Bay,
500 miles to the south, is the objective
point of the two boats.
1t is reported OH good authority here
that the cruiser Maryland, equipped for
a cruise of 5000 miles, will leave here
some time Tuesday to act rs a convoy
for the transport Buford, which left San
Francisco, and possibly prepared to put
a landing force ashore at Magdalena
and to take possession OF that port in
the name of the United States.

RAILROADS SUBMIT
PLAN TO ENGINEERS
10Th ARE TO NAME BOARD OF
UMPIRES.
ENGINEERS TURN PLAN DOWN
Commission Refuse to Act as Mediators.
Chief Justice to Name Umpires in
Case Representatives of Both
Bodies Fail to Agree.

New York.-The conference committee
IF managers of Eastern railroads gave
out a statement declaring that they had
proposed that the Interstate Commerce
Commission act as arbitrators u the en-.
g~ineers' demands, but that the prdposi-
tion had been declined by the commits
sion, and that Chief Stone, of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, also had
refused to accept the Interstate Com.
merce Commission as arbitrators.
As an alternative the committee sub
mitted to the government mediators .
proposition providing for a commission of
seven, one each to represent the rail-
roads and the engineers, and these two
to elect five umpires. In event these rep
resentatives fail to agree on the five UNI.
pires, it is proposed that they be ap.
pointed by the chief justice of the United
States.
In explaining their appeal to the In.
terstate Commerce Commission, which
WAS done, they say, by mediators at the
request of the railroads, the committee
states:
"The commission controls the railroads
revenues through the rate-making power
and largely controls their expenditures
through the administration of safety ap.
pliance acts and other railroad regisla.
tion. Under these conditions The DIES.
tinies of the railroads are ahsAutely in
The hands Of the commission, while the
responsibility for safe and efficient re-
suits still rests with the management Of
the roads, and it is certainly not unrea-
sonable that this tribunal should settls
a controversy which involves the ques
tion of whether the public in this great
territory shall for a time be deprived
altogether of railroad facilities.
"The committee of managers, there
fore, recommended to the committee oil
mediators that the Interstate Commerce
Commission be requested to act as arbi
traitors of the engineers demands and
to consider all facts as regards the abil
ity, and otherwise. of the railroads t.
pay more wages to their employees, ant
also to provide facilities and safety ap
planes alleged to be necessary to meet
the demands of the public"

Richeson Fate With Foss.

Boston, Mass.-Attorneys for Clarence

their final move to save the Cambridge

The lawyers based their plea largely on
Richeson's mental condition and argued
that his self-inspired confession saved
