TAFT IS REBUKEO
By i. 5. SENATE
Modified Bailey Resolution Is
Passed 35 to 20.
ATTITUDE ON L0RIMER CAUSE
Texas Senator Declares President Is
Guilty of Same Brand of False
hood That He Applied to
Roosevelt.

Washington, July 1.-THE .senate
formally rebuked President Taft for
seeking to influence the action of it's
members. The provocation was in the
efforts made by MIR. Taft 10 secure the
elimination of Mr.. Lorimer.
The sting of the chastisement was
much lessened by amendments making
the original Bailey resolution almost
lmpersonal.
Debate Lasts Five Hours.
The rebuke followed nearly five
hours of lively debate. 1t was made
effective by a vote of 35 to %. The
Democrats unanimously supported the
proposition and were aided by a suf
flcient number Of Republicans to in
sure its acceptance.
The perfected resolution, which
formed the instrument with which the
president was chastised, follows:
Resolved, That any attempt on the
part of president of the United
States to exercise the powers and in
fluence of his great Office for the pur-
pose of controlling the vote of any
senator upon question involving the
right to a seat in the senate, or any
other matter within the exclusive jur-
isdiction Of the senate, would violate
the spirit, if not the letter of the Con-
stitution and invade the rights of the
senate"
Charges Taft With FaIsehood.
A charge that President Taft was
guilty of falsehood by Senator Bailey
was the feature of the long discussion.
He said the same brand had been ap-
piled to Colonel Roosevelt and it only
remained now for its application to
Mr.. Taft. His speech was sharp and
merciless. He based his observations
entirely on the presidents efforts to
influence senators in their attitude
toward the Lorimer case.
During Mr.. Bailey's arraignment the
only voice raised in defense of the
president was that of Senator Borah.
He explained that he went to the pres
ident and urged him to write the let
ter to Colonel Roosevelt which caused
the trouble when made public by Mr..
Taft in one of his Massachusetts
speeches.
Burton Creates Sensation.
Something of sensation was Gre
ated when Mr.. Burton declared that
Grover Cleveland went to the very
verge of violating the Constitution.
Senators Bailey, O'Gorman and others
insisted that he should furnish spe-
cific instances, but he declined to do
so. In turn Mr.. Burton asked Mr.
O'Gorman if sending troops through
the streets Of Chicago was not a vio-
lation Of the Constitution, but the
New York senator said he was asking
the questions. That incident, however,
is believed to have been the basis of
the Burton charge against former
President Cleveland. Senator Burton
was one Of the senators mentioned by
President Taft in his letter as having
been Influenced by presidential appeal
to oppose Senator Lorimer. Burton
had previously been a supporter of
Lorimer.
