Canal tolls question clearly indicated tho
extreme bitterness that is to characterize
the night that the President has under
taken.
In the course of the days proceedings
Andrew Carnegie was described as a man
who might be charged with treason and
his estates connscated IL he lived in some
other country than this. The name OF the
President himself was repeatedly dragged
into debate in an uncompiimentary way.
and ono letter was read In which the
President was charged with bribing and
buiidosing the members Of Congress.
intense feeling was aroused by the de-
ha4s. which was tho most spirited heard
n Congress In . long time.
Chan bes1aiu Attacks Carnegie.
Mr. Chamberlain Of Oregon was the
Senator who attacked Andrew Carnegie
and his Peace Foundation. which has dill
gently urged the repeal OF the free tolls
clause. Said Senator Chamberlain:
IF men in other countries were guilty
II the things that Andrew Carnegie has
besn guilty OF they would be charged with
treason and their estates would DO con-
t1C8teo iido soWu Hoic
trouble in this country than any other
one man In IL. He Is obsessed with the
idea that there shall be a United States
e Great Britain. He has been obsessed
With that idea for long time and he has
not hesitated to spend his millions in
creating q reciprocal feeling in the minds
Of the people Of the United States"
Senator Jones Of Washington started
the trouble by reading lot OF letters he
had received commencing his course In
advocating a resolution demanding from
the President Information as TO the deli
cate foreign questions" that had made II
necessary to ask for the immediate repeal
Of the free tolls legislation. Among the
communications was one from LyonettA
Murat Day. who signed herself secretary
Of the National society Of Conservators of
American Women. She wired from st.
Augustine. Fla.
III any man be found guilty OF treason
lot him he punished. DO your duty and
fear no man
COmmenders ~ senator Jones.
Other commendstory letters came from
old soldiers at the National Soldiers
Home in Council City. Tenn. from II. L.
Trimble, Covington. Ky. Miss Josephine
Smith OF Philadelphia. Charles c. Bell
Of Bonneville, Mo, secretary of the
Central Missouri Horticultural Associa-
ton. and from Theodore Potts OF Browns
vile, Ark. who cheered Senator Jones
with the following:

Mr.. senator not win our Executive. who

stood for toll exemption. Mr.. Roosevelt
and the Progressive party stood for the

but that charge comes In poor form from
the man who repudiates his party plat
form and violates his campaign pledges
Mr.. Wilson obtained my vote and that Of
millions like me by false pretences Mr.
senator, were there a referendum and re-
call for Federal officials ! would vote to
have Mr.. Wilson'S future activities con-
fined to the classic shades OF Princeton
and not to a wholesale autocratic bribery
and bulldozing of the regularly elected
members Of the United states Congress
IAN accredited representative to the
Court Of St James's has made rs the
laughing stock among the nations. II
seems a weakness In our republican instI-
tutions that until a Presidential term ex

At the conclusion OF the reading OF the
letter senator Thomas of Colorado jumped
- his feet:
II cannot understand the motive OF the
Senator from Washington In Introducing
such matter In the congressional Record.
said Mr.. Thomas. Does the Senator he
