TAFT IS REBUKED
BY j. s. SENATE
Modified Bailey Resolution Is
Passed 35 to e.
ATTITUDE ON LoRIMER CAUSE
Texas Senator Declares President Is
Guilty of Same Brand of False
hood That He Applied to
Roosevelt

Washington, July 18.-After a five
hour discussion the senate on Tues
day by a vote of 35 10 % adopted a
modification of Senator Bailey's res
olution declaring any attempt on the
part of a president to influence the
vote of any senator upon any question
a violation of the spirit of the Consti-
tuition.
The resolution was prompted by
President Taft's interference in the
LOrimer case as shown by his letter
to Theodore Roosevelt last January
and revealed in 4 speech he made in
Boston last April.
AS adopted the resolution reads:
Resolved, That any attempt on the
part of a president of the United
States to exercise the powers and in
f1uence of his great office for the pur-
pose of controlling the vote Of any
senator upon a 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"
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
Something Of a sensation was ere
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 VIC
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

STANLEY REPORT HITS MORGAN.
Roosevelt and Perkins Also Severely
Criticised.


Washington, July 17.-Majority re-
port of the Stanley committee which
has been Investigating the steel in
dustry will be made public in a few
days and will contain recommends
tions for laws to curb the giant trusts
of the country. Chairman Stanley
and his colleagues are holding daily
conferences on the report and con-
templated legislation.
Representative Young, ranking Re
publican member of the committee,
has prepared a minority report which
he has submitted to the other Repub-
lican members. 1t in large measure,
is defense of the steel trust. 1t holds
that the steel trust has no monopoly
of the steel business of the country or
of the iron ore.
Colonel Roosevelt, ]. Pierpont Nor
gan and George w. Perkins are criti-
cized severely in the report for their
connection with the purchase of the
properties of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company by the steel trust, which
purchase is condemned as illegal un-
der the Sherman antitrust law.
