NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. APRIL 10. 19(>9.
SENATE HEARS HOOT
CENSUS BILL DEBATE.
Heyburn and GaUinzer Clash —
Merit S astern Attached.
[From The Tribune B .:
'A'.-.s). ngton. April P. -The session of the Benate
:o-dny for constderatloi t I - censua bill wa«
notable for three Incidents It gave Elihu Root
of New York an opportunity to mnke his first
speech aa a Senator; it was the occasion of n
sharp personal controversy i.etween Senators Gal-
Unger and Reyburn. nnd II developed the ract that
many Senntors still retain a d< ided opposition to
the C Bei c Commission. After a discussion
lastirig more than four hours considf ratio. 1 of the
bill v.-s* postponed until to-morrow, when it is be
lieved the Benate will pass it.
Senator Root's speech was an impromptu affair
Tr.o SriK»:. waa considering a committee amend
to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury
to spend t::»\>**'< for a site «nd building for the
census office. Senators <"lapp and Galllng*-r sug
gested tl;;-t ii would be well to create n commis
sion to pass on ihe site and building, the comm's
slon to include, besides the Secretary of the Treas
ury. :he Director of tli^ Census nnd the chairmen
of the committees on censua or the Senate and
House
It was a' this point that Senator Root took the
Boor lie suggested that the erection of a public
building was something more than a mere census
question. "We are spending a great deal of money.
and I believe properly, to make. Washington beau
tiful," said Mr Ron;. 'It would be a pity to con
sider nothing but the comfort of the clerks In
erecting a census building. We should consider
the relation of such a building to the genera! plan
for lnc:eas!ng the beauty of Washington. I there
fore suggest that the chairmen of the committee,
on the library of the Senate and the House be
added to the proposed commission. They have,
been accustomed to consider questions of beauty
in connection with the erection of public buildings
and monuments."
AS Senator Root did not present this suggestion
in the form of a motion, no vote, on It was taken.
The Senate adopted the amendment proposed by
the committee.
The clash between Senators GaJlinger and Hoy
burn greatly amused the galleries. These Sena
tors occupy adjoining seats, but are not intimate
friends. Mr. Heyburn was opposing the erection
of any public building which did not conform to
the general scheme for purchasing the property
south of Pennsylvania avenue. He called attention
to the fact that tlie government naw owns valuable
property south of the avenue, and said that a large
sum of money had been voted to the Pennsylvania
Railroad for the. construction of the Union Station.
This reference aroused Senator Galllnger. who Is
chairman of the ccmmltte« on the District of Co
lumbia. He resented it as a persona! affront, and
Intimated that Mr. Heyburn was not competent to
criticise legislation which had been enacted before
he came to tne Fetinrr.
"I b;>ol<>k:7.« for my lateness 'ti coming to 'he
Benate," eaid Mi Heyburn, with ■ toucb of
sarcasm.
"The Senator from Idaho doesn't n^e.i to
gixe. }le !s an apology In himself.' replied Ml
< la', i.gei .
When Senator Heyburn demanded, with cons ler
ab!e spirit, what this reference meant, Mr. Gal
linger said he would rep in the language of Pol 1
nius that the Idaho Senator vexed him but slightly.
Then Senator Galllnger said he would apologise
If he ad transgressed the amenities of debate. He
paid a compliment t.. tin- ability and Industry of
Mr. Heyburn. but suggested thai be was disposed
to go pretty far in criticising others and ought not
to feei hurt when tie himself was criticised. Friend
ly relations were restored when Senator Heyburn
said: "Perhaps both of us got pretty neatly the
limit in criticising measures."
The census Mil provides f.>; sr^ilal examinations
by the Civil Service Commission for practically a!i
census employes. The attack ->n this provision
was opened by Senator Scott, who Insisted that
more competent employes would be obtained If
appointed on the recommendation >•{ Senator* and
Represents • ■ without reference i«t the Civil
Service Commission.
Senator Balle; approved the crltlcisn; ■• Senator
Scott. He said the Civil Service system las a
farce. Soon !t would be extended to include every
body except Senators and Representatives No
Senator could pass t hi requlied examination, said
Mr. Bailey, adding: We practise before the coun
try bs qusliiled to make the la\v«. but »«•» «• are not
qualified for a uepartmsnt clerkship."
Aft»r Sena -or Gallinger hid s.;>oken at some
length against the provision of the bill requiring
messengers, assistant messengers, mesaengi boys,
unskilled laborers anil charwomen to pass an ex
amination. Senator Smith. of Michigan, made ft
speech against the general policy of Civil Service
reform He declared that there we "mure mean,
contemptible, petty politics In the Civil Service of
The United States than under the spoils system of
Andre* Jackson." He cal!rd It a shameless s\s
tern running riot," denied ihat merit rules, and

Washington. April 9.— The French govern
ment has informed the State Department of its
determination to put into effect Immediately the
decision to expel ex-President Castro of Venez
uela from Fort de France. Martinique, and
compel him to return to Europe.
The plan Is to put him on board the first v*>«
sel touching at Fort de France. If this decision
I" carried out. Castro will be on his way to
Europe In a day 'or two, unless his physical
condition is such that an ocean trip at this
time would put his life in jeopardy. The first
steamer scheduled to touch at th*- Martinique
port Europe bound Is the French liner Ver
sailles, due there to-morrow.
State Department officials are gratified by
the way in which the French government has
acted. France, the officials say. has realized
the possibilities in the case and has met the
wishes of the United States in barring the ci-
President.
Some of the prominent officers oi the govern
ment are disposed to look on Castro's reported
illness with suspicion, taking the ground that
It may b<» a clever nisr designed by him to
make it appear that a return to Europe is
necessary to obtain surgical afd. when, in fact.
th«» real purpose is to "save his fai»v" H" 1

this side of the Atlantic are against him. and

and watch for an opportunity later.

he was yesterday. He has received no . ( mVi;«!
information of the decision "f the French ami -
."•rnment to expel him from the island of Mar
tinique, and shows no anxiety He spends his
time quietly at the Hot«»! Ivanes. This morn-

Paris. April 9. — "Ls Journal' takes Isaac to- j
day with a majority of the French newspapers,
which consider that France is bound to comply '
with the wishes of the Gomez government, with
which negotiations for the resumption of diplo- i
matic relations ore now going on. This paper j
Bays that Prance lias made a great mistake In I
following the American lead, and thai the United <
States probably Is aiding: President Gomez la :
return for his sacrifices of Venezuelan interests \
in the settlement Of sordid disputes between !
the two countries. X.i matter what provocation '
Castro has given. "I.c Journal" adds. France
cannot ignore the fact that Gomez is a usurper,
and It holds that the persecution of the powers
probably will Inflame Venezuelan public opinion
against foreign intermeddling and at the Mime j
time strengthen Castro's partisans.
