Sen. Thomas AssaiIS Roosevelt
for Latter'S Speech DenounC-
ing Wilson Administration
for Breaking Promises"
NEWLANDS DEFENDS HIS
TRADE COMMISSION BILL
Declares Measure Will Curb
Unfair Competition = Sen.
Lewis Outlines Program of
Legislation for Session.

WASHINGTON. July Demo
cratic senators of both wings of the
party, radical and conservative. united
today in denouncing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt for his speech in Pitts
burgh last night in which he charged
the democrats with breaking prom
ises.
THE diagnosis by the coloners ply
Sician in which it was stated that the
former president is suffering from
an enlargement of the spleen seems
70 have been correct" said Sen.
Thomas of Colorado.
MIR. Roosevelt appears to be angry
at the success of the democratic party
in it's legislation program and he is
now trying to convince the people
that it has accomplished nothing.
MIR. Roosevelt apparently can find
nothing good in either of the old par
ties and his enmity to both of them
is manifest on every possible occasion.
He appears to have endowed his own
organization with all of his own Vir-
tues-therefore it can do nothing
wrong, just as the others can do moth
ing right. Yes, l think spleen is the
right word"
Newlands Takes Issue.
Sen Newlands of Nevada. father of
the trade commission bill concerning
which Roosevelt spoke last night,
took issue with the former president
with respect 20 some OF his state
.nents.
"Mr. Roosevelt is mistaken when
he says that the democratic party is
not trying TO curb unfair competi-
ton" said Sen. Newlands. 'The trade
commission bill is aimed at that very
thing and our program of trust legis-
lation is extremely comprehensive.
Mr.. Roosevelt should also note that
the step we shall take will be far
from paternal."
About the only answer 10 that out
burst which is necessary at the pres
ent time is that the democratic party
could hardly have expected commend
alton from the colonel, and, there
fol g, this speech is only what was TO
haze been anticipated" said Sen.
O'Gorman of New York.
Sen. Kern of Indiana, democratic
leader in the senate, said that he
made a rule never to discuss RooSe-
velt's speeches because it would keep
him too busy.
Simmons VIII Answer.
Sen. Simmons of North Carolina,
who fathered the tariff bill last fall
stated that he had nothing to say at
present but that he intends to answer
Roosevelt from the floor of the senate
later.
"TA.2 object Of the conference Of
dcJhocratic senators is to let the coun-
try know exactly what to expect in
che way of legislation before we ad-
iourn' said Sen. J. Hamilton Lewis of
Illinois after a talk with Pres. Wilson
today "Our program will consist of
the passage of the Clayton bill. the
bill placing control of the issue of
stock and bonds by railroads in the
hands of the interstate commerce
commission; the trade commission
measure and possibly one providing
federal incorporation. for industrial

FLORIDA VISITED
BY SEVERE Wind
Great Damage Done to Crops and
Property in Peninsula Country.

Ocala, Fla, April 11.-Hail and
wind storms accompanied by sharp
fall in temperature last night, did
many thousands of dollars of dam
age to vegetables and citrus fruit
crops throughout Central Florida.
Orange groves and melon and tomato
fields suffered severely. Southern
Florida, where the bulk of the pen
insula citrus fruits are produced, ex-
perienced only cool rain. Frost in
the state was confined to the north
western section, where crops were
not sufficiently matured to suffer
materially.
The heaviest loss was in this sec
ton, which was swept by a storm
of cyclonic proportions. Houses
were unroofed, windows broken and
several large orange groves destroy
ed. The melon crop in this and ad-
joining counties, the center of the
melon belt of Florida is believed to
be almost total loss.

SURGEON CRAFTS
HIS own Skin TO
SAVE HIS Wife
Ohio Man Successfully Transfers
Eighty Square Inches, 0per-
ating Himself.

Marietta, O., April 11.-Perform'
ing the operation himself, and TAX
ing the cuticle from his own body
DR.. S. A. Cunningham, a prominent
physician of this city, successfully
grated eighty square inches of his
skin to the burned body of his wife.
whose life hangs on the success of
the operation.
Several months ago, Mrs. Gun
bingham sustained severe burns
about the body, and since that time
her life has been despalred of. Fin
ally deciding that her only chance
of recovery lay in having a large
area of skin grated to her body, DR..
Cunningham undertook the opera
tion aided by an assistant.
Unwilling to ask his friends to
offer their cuticle, DR.. Cunningham
decided to use the cuticle from his
own body. He then proceeded to
cut pieces of skin ten inches long by
eight inches wide and graft it to the
body of Mrs. Cunningham. The OPP
Grafton, it is believed, was success
full.
DR.. Cunningham said yesterday
afternoon that he had every reason
to helieye that the skin grating on
Grafton would save his wife's life. Il
worked much more rapidly than I
could have done had been taking
the cuticle from other persons, and
then" he continued, II could easily
spare all the skin that was neces-
sary."
