LA TOILETTE HITS
AT ROOSEVELT
Regrets He Was Not Presi-
dent at Time of 1907 Panic.

DanviIIe. Ill. Jan. 6.-senator La Fol-
letto vigorously scored Theodore Roose-
welt to-day for permitting himself to be
bluffed by the Wall street fnanciers dur
ing the panic Of 1907.
This much-taIzed-of panic OF 1907 was
simply a manufactured panic" said the
Wisconsin Senator. There was no ex-
cuSe for It. Do you know what 1 would
have dUne had / been President then?
Well, l would have called the blun snd
told every one OF them I'd appoint a re-
ceiver for their banks IL they did not
stop. Deposits In all the banks in 1871
were upward OF s13.oco. COO. Everything
Indicated financial soundness and busi-
ness prosperity.
wall street is full of men doing the
same things that Morse did, continued
Senator La Toilette. as he went into n
discussion OF the trusts. The little fel-
low. Morse. the banker is in the peni-
tentiary. That Is what usually happens
they always get the little fellow"
La Toilette exploded his bomb in the
faces OF the Roosevelt worshipers in his
speech here to-day. the final speech OF
his present campaign in Illinois. The
audience, composed OF former Speaker
Cannon's constituents, was electrified
Cheering burst out In all parts OF the
crowd that niled the opera mouse. Ihis
was the first time the Senator had men,
toned Roosevelts name since he sped
into the interior OF the State.
Senator La Toilette had been fiaying
the money trust for half an hour. He
had been telling how. in his opinion,
the Standard Oil group had been using
the money in their banks to corner the
Industries OF the nation. He had been
giving his version OF what Mr.. Morgan
and his friends had done TO Morse and
Heinz in the effort to smash them and
put them out OF business. Then he
stopped, looked at his audience delib-
erately as II he was Weighing carefully
each word he was about to utter. and
said: Then there was the Tennessee
Coal and Iron case"
Didn't Teddy help, toog' interrupt
ed a gray-haired man in the front row
of seats.
Mr.. La Toilette stepped as II hit in the
face. He hesitated only q moment Then
he walked to the front OF the stage
struck a dramatic pose, and said, delib-
erately and quietly:
Yes; Teddy did
He was again interrupted by applause.
But" he shouted. Il know what they
told Teddy"
Mr. La Toilette proceeded to give an
array Of figures to prove crops were bet
1906: that money was plentiful, bank fall
ures few, and that there was no legiti-
mate reason for the depression.

CHE STEWARD TELLS
OF TITANIC DISASTER

-OF IL AMI DlSAS i ER
The story of Edward Wheel
ton, chief steward of the Titanic;
1T was about As o'clock
Sunday evening, with the night
quite clear and slight fog just
commencing to rise, when the
crash amidships came.
There had been dancing all
evening and many of the passen-
gers were on deck and in the
saloon. No immediate commo-
ton followed the dull thud,
though the women folks were
somewhat startled. The officers
of the ship reassured the passen-
gers. They themselves did not
realize the situation.
Half an hour later the ship
began to fill and settle at the bow.
The wireless operator had been
pounding S. o. S. steadily. He
kept at 1t until Just before the
ship sank.
Directly after the crash life
boats were ordered manned.
The nearest ship was seventy
miles away and we knew it would
be at least morning before res
c11ers would arrive. The Titanic
was settling gradually. All the
boats were lowered.
ION the starboard side men
were permitted to join their
wives. On the larboard side only
women and children were allow
ed to enter the boats. That ac-
counts for the fact that in some
few instances the families were
not separated. Ii.

SENATE SHOCKED
At OUTHAGES ON
MEXICAN BORDER
Scathing Arraignment of
State Department for At
titude Taken.

An arraignment of the State Depart
ment so severe and 20 fortified with
statements of seeming fact that II made
the Senate sit up and take notice was
given in the Senate chamber late yes
terday afternoon.
Senator Fall, though a Republican,
and an Administration man, presented
picture of incompetent handling of
the Mexican situation on the part of
this Government so appalling as to be
we'll nigh unbelievable.
He told of murder outrage, and rob-
berry in Mexico, with American men,
women, and children the victims, in
fashion that shocked Senators who
heard his recital. But Instead of get
ting any protection from the Govern
ment of the United States, these people
are told In effect that they can get
justice at the hands of the Mexican
courts. Meantime, according to Sena-
tor Fall, the murderers and assailants
OF Americans go about free "unwhipped
OF justice"
Investigation to Follow.
That the statements of Senator Fall
will compel an investigation at the
hands of the War Department is prob
able. The absence of most of the Sen
ators at the close of the session last
evening prevented the adoption of a
resolution calling for a searching in
vestigation by that department into the
claims Of American citizens against the
Mexican government for wounds or
damages inflicted within American
boundaries. This resolution will doubt
less be adopted. though a number Of
the Senator'S feel that 1t does not by
any means go far enough. Senator
Fall is one of these. The State Depart
ment will not be intrusted with the in
quiry.
Senator Fail recited one outrage after
another, some against dcfenseless
women end children of American resi-
| dents in Mexico. He declared China,
Germany and other countries had
forced Mexico TO make restitution fer
| damages 10 their citizens. But the
State Department has done nothing.
Hold Americans at Fault.
In Mexico, he said, the people be
lieved the United States was back OF
the Macero government and was re-
| sponsible for the overthrow of Diaz.
| Describing some OF the revolving out.
RACES, in which men were murdered
| babes killed and women assailed, Sen
ator Fall said:
If the people of the United State.
| knew all the facts. not all the soldiers
in the country would be able to prevent
the crossing of the border because o
| the indI Isration that would be arouse 1
And yet nothing has been uone to re
| lieve the most intolerable condition tina
American citizens were ever compelled
TO undergo"
Something of the impression made oil
the Senate may be judged from &
| remark of Senator Swanson:
III tho story is true" he said, Nv,
should hang our heads in shame ant

House Committee
Will Abandon the
Hanford Charges

To drop impeachment prosecution OF
Federal Judge Cornelius H. Hanford. Of
Seattle, who resigned yesterday, was
practically decided upon today by the
House Judiciary Committee.
The Hanford case was discussed in
normally at meeting OF the commit
teemen now In Washington. and the
tentative decision reached to dismiss
the charges.
Today Chairman Clayton's action ord
ering the subcommittee at Seattle to
cease taking testimony in the Hanford
case and return Immediately to Wash
ington was ratified by the committee.
1t was decided, however, to request a
report from the subcommittee upon its
return before voting decisively upon dis
missing the charges.
Congressman Victor Berger the Wis
consin Socialist, whose resolution pro-
voked the Hanford investigation, today
notified the committee he does not care
to press the charges further.
Formal dismissal of the impeachment
resolution will probably be recommend
ed to the House by the Judiciary Com
