The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1914-09-23

The United States senate has been
stirred to its foundations during the
last few days on account of the fill
buster on the part Of several republi
cans against the consideration and
passage of the river and harbor meas
ure, otherwise known as the "pork bar
rel" bill. The democratic party, dom
mated by it's southern members, is
demonstrating that it is composed of
an appetite SO strong that, notwith-
standing the expenses of the govern
ment far exceed its income and that
] steps are now being taken to raise
money by direct taxation, it still fav-
ors passing river and harbor bill
nothing short OF a scandal the amount
OF which is practically one hundred
million dollars. Senator Burton of
Ohio, ably supported by Senator Ken
yon Of Iowa, and a few other republic
cans, are making the struggle Of a
lifetime to prevent the democrats in
the senate from passing the bill. They
have even called into use rule of the
senate which is obsolete so far as
practice is concerned which would
choke off senator who objects to the
measure or filibusters against the con-
sideration and passage of the act, but
they find that with all of their ingen
uity they have not been able to pre-
vent the few republicans from carry
ing out their purpose to prevent con
sideration OF the measure. Senator
Burton and Senator Kenyon devoted
practically thirty hours to talking
against the measure and preventing
its consideration. Senator Burton
commenced a speech at 6 o'clock on
Friday evening and talked until Sat
urday morning, when Senator Ken
yon relieved him for about three
hours, after which Senator Burton
again took up the argument and con-
tinued until the middle of the after
atOr Sterling of South Dakota, who
held the floor until o'clock, when the
democrats consented to an adjourn
ment until Monday at II o'clock.
1t is to the credit of these faithful
senators that they are willing to throw
themselves into the breach and at the
risk of breaking their health to in
Weigh against the passage of meas
ure so extravagant as this river and
harbor bill which is proposed 1t is
thought now that the measure is prac-
tically defeated because the two SEN
ators who have made the fight have
the promise of additional support
which will insure the filibuster proving
a success.
Later-The tilibuster won out and
the democratic leaders have agreed to
a compromise bill for $20,000,000 only
to carry on work already commenced.

One thing which the European war
is bringing home to the American peo-
pie is the unpreparedness OF the Unit
ed States in case of an attack from
foreign country. We frequently hear
it said that we are at peace with all
the world and there is no danger of
war with any foreign power. This
may be answered by the statement
that six months ago there were no sur
face indications of war between the
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1914-09-23

The Review has not entirely
escaped criticism on account OF its
course in publishing the news of the
war. In some instances those who
favor the side Of the allies as well as
those who favor the side of Germany
and Austria have complained. We wish
it distinctly understood that this paper
has not taken and shall not take any
other position than one Of absolute
neutrality as becomes all good Ameri-
can citizens. 1t is true that for sew
eral weeks during the time the Ger
man army was pushing its way to-
ward Paris that its victories We're
mentioned in the paper about as the
daily papers featured them. This, OF
course, meant that the news that sift-
ed through the associated press was
given to the public. This continued
until the Germans were almost at the
gates of Paris, when the allies were
able to check the advance of the in.
vaders and began to drive them back
in the direction of northeastern France
The pursuit Of the allies was de-
scribed as the associated dispatches
reported the situation. This was not
done in a spirit to exploit one side or
to discredit the other but simply to
give the readers of the paper the news
of the war as it becomes the duty of
any reputable newspaper. We have
admonished and now admonish all our
American citizens to refrain from TAX
ing sides in the war so far as to vio-
late the spirit Of neutrality adopted
by the government Our duty is first
and all the time to the United States
as against any foreign country and as
nations involved in the war and our
country has pledged neutrality it
would seem unwise for individuals to
assume to take sides in the war. We
appreciate that individual prefer
ences may exist, as is usually the
case when a contest is on between
third parties and we assume that on
account of different nationalities be-
ing represented here our citizens may
have their wishes as to what may be
the result Of the war. 1t is all right
for our citizens good naturedly and in
q friendly way to discuss the incidents
of the war, but neither the discussions
nor the preferences which the people
may entertain should lead them to the
extent of creating discord or enmities
or resulting in feeling Of any kind.
The thing to do is to avoid taking any
position or doing anything that will
embarrass the government whose
neutrality is we'll understood by ev-
cryOne.

Senator Kenyon is showing dis
position and ability to do something
worth while. He has done more for
his reputation as u statesman and
champion of the people in preventing
the democrats from passing the pork

all his work previously. He has made
a good fight and should receive due
credit for it.

0'C0RMAN THROWS
LIGHT ON CUPID
When December Weds Nav
He Expects to Pay,
Says Senator.

Senator O'Gorman, in the Supreme
Court yesterday, as chief counsel for Mrs.
Alice Wood Van Ness. third wife Of the
late Cornelius II. Van Ness. of Cornwall.
n. Y. in a legal battle in which there is
$780, 900 at stake, expounded this bit of
philosophy
What old man ever married young
woman without expecting to provide am
ply for her, and what young woman ever
married an old man without expecting
him to provide amply for her,
Van Ness, who was about eighty years
old when he married his third wife. who
was twenty-seven, did provide amply for
her, but Mrs Alice Van Ness Parsons, a
daughter Of the old man, and two nieces
contested his disposition of his property.
In the case of the daughter, she took the
matter into the Surrogates Court, where
Surrogate Fowler decided against Mrs.
Van Ness.
Van Ness created a trust fund OF $4,000
for his nieces and he did this, said Sena-
tor O'Gorman, to buy his peace with
them" for. while they were not legally
entitled TO anything, it was said they had
harassed him.
Mrs Van Ness. who was charged with
undue influence over her aged husband,
did not testify in the trial in the Surro-
gates Court She relied on the advice OF
her counsel, former Surrogate Ransom,
who told her that II would not be neces-
sary, as she would be upheld without tes-
tifying.
Senator O'Gorman asked that the case
be reopened. that Mrs. Van Ness might
tell her story. which application Surro-
gate Fowler denied In the present pro-
ceedng the widow will give her side OF
the controversy, and. according to her
counsel, she will produce ten or more Wit
nesses who did not testify at the prior
trial.
Senator OGorman, in opening, said he
would prove that Van Ness was a man OF
strong mentality. who drove spirited
horses when he was eighty-seven years
old and was hardly the kind OF man who
would permit a woman 10 sway him. He
died at the age OF ninety-two years.
The nieces claim that they were entitled
10 the property which Van Ness gave his
third wife.

BRING SUIT FOR $4,000, 1000
German Potash Firms Want
Propaganda Fund Reimbursed

Berlin. Jan. IA suit against Imperial

Wrought by the German Potash Syndicate,
which demands from him the return or

eanda fund" for advertising the merits
of the German fertilizer at home and
aboard which was raised by imposing a
tax on all potash mined In Germany UNI
der the law of 1910.
The fund in question remains partly un-
used for the specified purpose. and it Is
stated in some quarters that the govern
ment is allowing It to accumulate, with
the idea of diverting il to general pur-
poses under the provisions of new law
now being formulated. The law of 1910
was designed to conserve the natural
supplies of potash in Germany, TO insure
the prosperity of the German industry
and to prevent Americans from getting
a cheap supply, but has been partial
failure.

Objects to Any Evidence

SAYS 1T COULDN'T
DISTURB CONVICTIONS
Verdict of Manslaughter Returned
Against John Jasper, with Rec
OmmendatiOn to Mercy.
fBy Cable 70 The Tribune ]

London. Jan. S.-John Jasper was in
dicted last night in Kings Hall, Covent
Garden, for the murder OF his nephew,
| Edwin brood, the proceedings consti-
tuting an effort by the Dickens Fellow
ship TO elucidate the mystery Of the
story which Charles Dickens left I'M
| finished at his death. The scene might
have been transported from the period
Of the story $500, for the witnesses
were in costume. The clerk Of arraigns
, ordered the warders in the dock to
put up John Jasper. The jury was
nard Shaw as foreman.
Mr.. Shaw was on his feet immedi-
ately after counsel for the prosecution
sat down. DO / understand" he
asked. that the learned gentleman is
going TO call evidence?T
Certainly" replied counsel.
Then all | can say is" rejoined Mr..
Shaw. that if the learned gentlemen
thinks the convictions of a British jury
are going to be influenced by evidence
he little knows its functions"
Jasper listened to the speeches and
t. the evidence with the traditional
callous composure.
The jury returned the following be-
Wldering verdict: Following distin-
guished precedent, we considered our
verdict in the luncheon interval and
are inclined to verdict of not guilty,
since there is no proof of the crime,
| but the British spirit of compromise
and moderation afterward seized us
and our verdict is one of manslaughter,
with a recommendation to mercy, but
at the same time plead with your lord
ship not to show any weakness, but
TO vindicate the full majesty Of the
| law"
The verdict was received with gales
of laughter, and G. X. Chesterton. as
the judge, committed every one pres
ent for contempt of court
Guineas had vainly been offered even
for seat on the stairs
J. Cunning Walters, a we'll known
authority on Dickens. was leading
counsel for the prosecution. Cecil
! Chesterton acted for the defence. He
declared that there was every reason
! TO believe that brood was still alive,
and suggested that the key Of the story
lay in the opium habit Of the two men
He urged that in the unexplained dis
appearance Of Edwin brood there was
no evidence upon which to convict Jas
per Of murder.
The jury included such distinguished
men as Jerome X. Jerome, Sir James
NJ. Barrie, Sir Edward Russell, w. w
Jacobs, William de Morgan, William
PETIT Ridge, William Archer Arthur
Morrison. Justin II. Mccarthy. Thomas
Seccombe and DR.. w. L. Courtney
Hilaire Belloc and Raymond Patton,
| who had been drawn, were not able TO
, be present.
The wholly spontaneous character OF
the proceedings-the opposing counsel
not having consulted with each other
or seen each others briefs-added
greatly TO the zest OF the affair. The
trial had never been rehearsed. The
stage in the hall was set as a court
scene.
