ROADS FOR A VICTORY
Allison Amendment Draws Fire,
but Famous Iowan Fights
Effectively.
ATTACKS THE PRESIDENT.
Washington, May 12.Senator Bai
ley in concluding an attack on Presi
dent Koosevelt for his alleged surrender
on the railroad rate and tariff questions
in the senate late this afternoon said:
Let us have no more here or thruout
the country, of this talk of an iron man.
He is clay and very common clay at
that."
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, May 12.The question
of whether the Allison amendment to
the rate bill indicates that the presi
dent and his friends are standing for
broad or narrow court review, had a
field day in the senate yesterday.
Those democrats who spoke on the
question, save one, contended that the
president had surrendered to the rail
roads, and that the Allison amendment
provided for the very broadest court
review that it was possible to give.
Those republicans who spoke denied
this contention and asserted that the
Alllison amendment did not provide
for anything more than the house bill
already carried "by implication, and that
even if the democratic contention were
true, the courts would be very slow to
try de novo any case coming up from
the interstate commission.
The changes were rung on this ques
tion for several hours, and it was left
precisely where the senate found it at
the beginning of the day's session.
Senator Allison was in his seat all day
and during the debate made a very vig
orous ana impassioned speech for him
in defense or his amendment against
the charge brought by Senator Eayner
of Maryland, that under it the court
review was so wide open that a rail
road train could be driven thru it.
Allison Fights, Tho I1L
It is apparent that Senator 'Allison,
is far from being a "WeH man and some
of his friends were fearful that the un-1
usual exertion in which he indulged
might make his physical condition
worse, but it did not seem to do so.
Earjy in the day's proceedings Sen
ator Nelson of Minnesota pleaded with
the senate to permit the Allison amend
ments to reach a speedy vote so that
that senator might return to his home,
but no attention was paid to this plea.
The day was almost entirely spent
in securing negative results, so far as
there were results at all, that is to
say in voting down certain amendments
to the court review and other parts of
the bill proposed by the democrats and
by Senator La Toilette. No affirma
tive vote was taken on any question of
importance.
Late in the afternoon, Mr. La Fol
lette brought up his substitute for sec
tion 15 of the house bill. The effect
of the substitute was to give the com
mission the power to originate com
plaints and to fix a minimum as well
as a maximum rate. This substitute
was rather freely debated and then
voted down, almost the only support
La Follette had being on the democrat
ic side of the chamber.
Bailey Opens Battle.
1
Mr. Bailey began the onslaught on
the president by quoting from thepres
ident's message and speeches and qom
paring these utterances with the Alli
son amendment, which the president has
accepted. He contended that that
amendment placed absolutely no limit
upon the review by the courts of lae
commission's findings.
Mr. Eayner followed, claiming the
game thing, and adding that the presi
dent had deliberately walked into a
trap set for him by the railroads.
After that he had invited the repub
licans of the senate into similar con
dition of voluntary captivity and the
invitation had been accepted. During
Mr. Eayner's speech he mentioned Al
lison, Long and Cullom by name, and
later these gentlemen replied to him.
Mr, Long spoke first in defense of
the Allison amendment, saying that
Mr. Eavner was wrong in the asser
tion that the Long amendment pro
vided for narrow court review and the
Allison amendment for broad review.
Both amendments, he said, provided for
the same kind or review and that re
view did not exceed that guaranteed
by the constitution.
He quoted a number of court-review
amendments which he said were of the
broad character, among them those in
troduced by Messrs. Foraker, Knox and
Lodge. These amendments sought to
confer upon the courts precisely the
same duty conferred upon the commis
sion, and would lead to the retrial by
the courts of every case coming up
from the commission.
Same as Eayner Amendment.
There was also a broad court review

Aldrich.t order for the
amendment to provide for a broad re

question of whether a rate fixed by the
commission is "just and reasonable.
In its present form that amendment
did not go beyond the original house
bill, which was silent as to review, on
the theory that the constitutionality
provisions would apply automatically.
Mr. Aldrich interrupted Mr. Long to
ay that, in his opinion, the Allison
amendment did not go beyond the house
bill on the court-review question and
that the amendment simply gives ex
pression to what everybody had thought
from the beginning was in the bill
anyway.
Mr. Allison, in his reply to Eayner,
said that the Allison amendment was
substantially the same as the Eayner
amendment, and that no amount of

tack on Salvation Army.-'
8pecli to Th Journal.
Chicago, May 12.The Chicago Trib
une leads its editorial page today with
a criticism of the charges against the
Salvation Army made by Edwin D.
Solenberger, manager of the Associated
Charities. of Minneapolis, at Philadel
phia, and asks its accuser to produce
proofs. The editorial is, in part, as
follows:
So far as the telegraphic account of
his remarks goes, it does not appear
that he specified any particular fund
which was misused, but rather made
a general accusation of obtaining
money under false pretenses. It is
hardly possible to reply to an accusa
tion which is not more specific, but the
Salvation Army officers say that a
financial statement is issued every three
months, which may be consulted by
those interested. They say that they
welcome investigation, and that inspec
tion of their accounts by the public
officials of Los Angeles and St. Louis
resulted in an expression of satisfac
tion with the methods of the army.
Public with Army.
If this statement is true, the Min
neapolis manager of Associated Char
ities must be mistaken in his charge
that it is impossible to obtain informa
tion about the receipts and expenditures
of the Salvation Army. It may be an
issue of veracity between the two au
thorities or it may be simply a mis
understanding.
Public confidence in the Salvation
Army is not likely to be shaken unless
some definite misdeed can be proven
against it. Those who have come in
contact at all with the army's work
in the large cities are impressed by the
evident sincerity of the soldiers. Prob
ably there are occasional errors of judg
ment in the expenditure of the armyJ
funds, even now and then a dishonest
officer, as may he found in any church
or organization into which it is profit
able for a hypocrite to enter.
Devoted to Work.
In general the members of the Sal
vation Army are characterized by a de
votion to the interests of the founder
which has made the army one of the
most valuable agencies for good in
modern city life.
It is true the methods of the army,
its theology or personal qualities of
its members, do not appeal to all peo
ple, least of all some enthusiasts whose
zeal for religion or humanity is no less
fervid but differently expressed.
The fact remains that the Salvation
Army reaches people who would other
wise be unreached^ It does work that
otherwise would be left undone. At
any rate, the public will continue to
support it unless it can be proved that
the reports are false. It is up to the
Minneapolis accuser to produce his
proofs.

longed for the rest the grave gives.
Yesterday he turned to her and said

Then he shot her, and, thinking she

I do not look for any reorganization
of the General Paper company," said
B. F. Nelson, president ot the Henne
pin Paper company, today. The dii
solution comes at a favorable time.
Every mill in the company is rushed
to full capacity and there & a demand
for every pound of paper that can be
turned out and more beside. Stocks'
also are low. The companies organized
as the General Paper company will con
tinue their business as individuals, I
believe, at least the Hennepin company,'
will."

members of the General Paper company,

trust, which is to be finally dissolved!

of the General Paper company, declares'

effected. He even intimates that step*3
to this end have already been taken.
An opposite opinion is ventured by*
Vice President George A. Whiting, one]
Of the wealthiest and heaviest mana-j
facturers of print paper in the United]
States.
Hints at Higher Prices.
Mr. Kelson coincides with Whiting's,
view. Speaking of results of Judge'
Sanborn's decision today, Mr. Nelsoa
said:
I do not look forvany reduction in,
prices. Since the General Paper com
pany was formed, prices have eontin-.
ued to fall, and are now less than half
what they were before. The first ad
vance was ordered less than sixty
days ago. On the other hand, wages
have-increased from 25 to 40 per cent
and raw material from 25 to 100 per
cent. By selling thrn the General Pa*
p^oompanjY^which -was enry*~a"-,
aatg i
agent for^jthe mills represented, we
were able to save the expense of taav
eling men- This expense of selling
amounted to 10 per cent of the cost
of the goods sold. The General Paper
i company handled the business for 3
per centa saving to us of 7 per cent,
which is considered a good margin in
the paper business. We must put out
our men now, and the 7 per cent addi
tional cost of business must be pro
vided for in some way.
"As a rule all large consumers were
provided under contracts with one miU
represented in the sales company. I
suppose these contracts will be con
tinued thru their terms. The contracts
were made thru the General Paper com
pany, but run between individual mille
of the company and the consumer.
Bad Taste to Reorganize.
I do not know what kind of an
organization could be effected. As far
as I know there is no plan now under
consideration. After the action takes
yesterday by the paper men and the
granting of their requests by the Qourt, 1
it certainly would be in very bad tastd
to immediately undertake plans for']
another combination similar to the one
dissolved. I do not believe it wiil be 3,
possible anyway, at least not for some
time. Some man or men with unlim*
ited means might purchase all the mills
of the General Paper company, as wail
done in the case of the IntesnationalT
Fairer company. I am ready at any, i
time to sell my mill if paid Its value,'
and there are other mills that could tie
bought. But transactions oftkis-mag*'
nitude would take time.
"The General Paper company wasj
merely a selling agent marketing otuH
paper for us at less cost than would be
possible otherwise. It' is effectually
killed now, .but I believe thai furtive?
developments will snow that it was an
economical plan for all concerned. I
believe that the individual mills wil}1
continue business aa individuals as the
Hennepin company plans to do. should
say also that if any consolidation is'
ever attempted that it will be along the
lines I have suggested, by the pur-^
chase of plants by some individual or
concern making the ownership of alii
mills private and in the hands of one'
individual or concern as process both
alow and expensive.
