CONTEST Secretary Gets Into Bitter Fac tional Game. TWO SPEECHES IN ONE DAY Governor Cummins Lampooned for His Tariff Views. SENTIMENT IS NOTABLY LESS Revisionists Are Scored for Demand ing Immediate Action?Position of President Defined in Address. DES MOINES, Iowa, June 2.?Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw came to Iowa today to participate In a bitter fac tional fight for governor, now on In the republican party. Secretary Shaw delivered two speeches, in which he attacked Gov. Cummins for being a tariff revisionist. This afternoon Secretary Shaw' spoke at Newton to a large audience, and tonight he addressed a crowded house at Knox vllle, both towns being in counties claimed by Gov. Cummins, who is opposed for re election by George D. Perkins of Sioux City. Most of Secretary Shaw's addresses In both towns was devoted to a discussion of the tralff. He assailed the republicans who demand Immediate revision, but he sug gested the possibility of revision after the 19UK Presidential election. Secretary Shaw said, in part: Reduction of Sentiment. There is not one-fourth the sentiment for tariff revision there was three ye:irs ago, and not a bit In the republican pirty for Immediate revision. I correct that state ment. 1 do know two states that are per fectly willing to remove all the protection that is not for their own benefit The republican party has never gone out or power even on the tarifT issue except im mediately following a revision of the tariff at its own hands, and neither we nor the demoorats. have revised the tariff and re mained in power a year except in the case election In 1004 President Roosevelt lu?* submitted three messages to Congress, in not one of which did he rec ommend tariff revision. ? Are we Roosevelt republicans? If so. why should we not sbe standpatters? He has made many ?peeehes. but in none ha h^ recommended tarifT revision ?he" tell the people they are robbed by the tariff which he does not recommend shall be re vised you Indict your President for not demanding that revision. No Action by Committee. "Since the last republican platrorm was adopted the committee on ways and means, which must originate tarifT legislation, has formulated no revision, nor has It consid ered the formulation of such a bill, feince that platform was adopted the congres sional caucus has met again and aga.n, ou. It has recommended no tariff revision. "Who is responsible for the policies of the party? Does not the national con vent!^ speak that way? Arc we as re publicans not bound by that plaUorm. Does not the republican President the leader of his party, speak with authority, and as republicans are we not bound by nis recommendations and by his failure to rec ommend? Is not the republican majority In Congress clothed with authority to speak for the party, and Is it not clothed with authority to keep silence? ?I say to you that the only phrase of the present contest In Iowa which has at tracted national attention is revision and the success of the candidal* who takes it upon himself to speak of the effects of the Plngley tariff as robbery will be under stood In every state of the Union as a party defeat." FOR CLOSER ALIGN MENT RUMORED CHANGE OF RUSSIAN CABINET BY CZAR. ST. PETERSBURG, June 2.?Rumors of a change in the ministry have been revived.

Bourke Cockran on the Pending Nat uralization Bill. Mr. Rourke Cockran (N. Y.). In the House yesterday. In discussing certain f.-atures of the naturalization bill, said that he was asked once to name the man who came nearest being 1l!s Ideal of a gentle man. and having a pretty extensive ac quaintance, covering almost the entire hu man race, from the culprit at the foot of the gallows to the pontiff on his throne, he was compelled to admit that his con ception of gentleman was "an unlettered, naturalised laborer, who came to his work every morning and who so impressed his fellows with the conception of his excel lence that he was always addressed per nonally and was referred to in his absence as Mr. Carey." He amassed quite a good deal of money - $40,000 or $o0.00<>. He faced death with perfect composure and majestic calm, but always haunted by the tear that some day he would be unable to do a day's work." Speaking of the educational test required (or all aliens, Mr. Cockran said: "TUe history of this country has illus <? trated a ?rreat many new methods of Bat tling human problems. This Mr. Carey would be excluded from citizenship or from admission under this, or the law that la projected, while Csolgolsz, Oulteau and bands of assassins and murderers who preach hostility to every good could pass !n under the test that Is Imposed. I say that you are opening wide the doors to the really ob jectionable. You are damming up the val uable current from which a large portion of our prosperity flows, and I appeal to gentlemen on both sides to realise this, that the history of mankind in the past is the one which was controlled by the moveg^nt of races. It was the movement of races that brought the barbarian tribes from the provinces of the Roman empire and wrecWed the monuments of the old civilization. It was the search for land and the desire to cultivate it that plunged all the nations in war during the periods that are known as the 'dark ages.' The pursuit of land, too, was mainly to cultivate it, for men did not realize they could obtain it under any other conditions. We have left before the foot steps of humanity this splendid truth." REFUSED TO PUT APPEAL. | Speaker Cannon Oblivious to Objec tion to His Ruling. What might have been a serious parlia mentary snajl was dexterously avoided by Speaker Cannon yesterday afternoon in the House of Representatives when Mr. Murphy (Mo.) rose to present what he denominated a privileged resolution. The conference reports on the rate and statehood bills had been made and or dered printed, when the Missouri repre sentative presented a resolution rescind ing the action of the House sending the statehood bill to conference and provid ing for a vote on the Senate amendments. Mr. Payne (N. Y.), the floor leader of the majority, instantly made the point that the resolution was not privileged. The Speaker, with smiting face, held that the.resolution was not privileged, as the papers in the case were with the Sen ate, and he had serious doubt if the reso lution would be privileged even if the papers were with the House. Confusion ensued, Mr. Murphy and a number of democrats springing to their feet to take exception to the ruling of the Speaker. Above the din Mr. Murphy was heard to say: "Let's have a square deal, Mr. Speaker. I appeal from the decision of the chair," but the Speaker was oblivious to the motion for an appeal and adjourn ed fhe House at 5:30 until noon on Thurs day on motion of Mr. Bonynge (Col.), leaving Mr. Murphy gesticulating on the I floor. BAY STATE DEMOCRACY. I Reported Gum-Shoe Movement Among Leaders for Slate. | Special Dispatch to The Star. BOSTON, Mass., June 2.?While John B. Moran is being urged by friends to run for | governor on a people's ticket, a nomination : which requires only 100 signatures, silent I workers. among the democratic leaders have | already quietly made up a slate which in cludes two millionaires and one poor man, I The millionaires are William L. Douglas i ex governor and shoe manufacturer, for governor; Henry M. Whitney, last year's dt-mocratic nominee for governor and a Bos ton financier, for lieutenant governor. The poor man is John B. Moran, for attorney | general. Douglas' known ambition is to run for i Coi gress, but no one has heard him say] he would aecert a nomination for the gov ernorship again. Mr. Whitney's attitude is somewhAt peculiar, but "anything to lick ( the protectionists" is his slogan, and so I thoroughly in earnest is he that any slate arrangement will suit him provided there is abundant opportunity for him to attack I the anti-reclproclty iorcea.

Senator Penrose Spent a Good While With Him. WORRIED ABOUT HIS STATE Depending on the President to Help the Machine. THE CONVENTION THIS WEEK Threatened Fusion of Independents With Democrats?Penrose Help ing the President in the Senate. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania spent a good while with President Roosevelt lost night, being the only visitor of the even ing. The political situation In Pennsyl vania Is anything but satisfactory to the republicans, and the organization In that state Is depending upon the President to do much toward rescuing them from a possible defeat for governor, legislature and mem bers of Congress. It was to help the organ ization that the President promised to go to Harrlsburg In October, Just before the No vember election, to attend the laying of the cornerstone of the state capttol. That visit of the President Is expected to do much toward holding up the regular ticket. Significant Facts. There are one or two significant facts In connection with the conference with Sen ator Penrose last night. The first Is that the republican state convention will be held at Harrlsburg next Wednesday. The regu lar organization Is confronted by an Inde pendent republican ticket and a threatened fusion of all the Independent forces with the democrats. The nomination of a good man by the state convention Is an Impera tive necessity. If they select a man that will command reform and Independent sup port they may save the ticket. If they nominate a man who has not the confidence of this element they are almost sure to lose out. The situation is a critical one. The help of the President is needed now as well as in October next. Senator Penrose would like to arrange things so that b? can give the impres&lon to the republicans of the state that the nominee of the convention has the backing of President Roosevelt, and the President Is said to be willing to help the head of the organisation aa much as possible without being regarded as losing his reform ideas. Strangely enough the President was tooth and ntill against the Pennsylvania organization in the elections last year and did not turn his hand to hflp In any direction. EHhu Root, his premier cabinet official, was one of the attorneys of Mayor Weaver In the great reform fight that was won by the reformers. Sltlce then the discreet but astute Penrose has been getting closer to the White House. What he speaks of as his "social visits" are fre quent, and the President seems to enjoy them. The good understanding between the President, heretofore the most reformed of reformers, and the successor of the greatest machine man the country ever knew, Quay, has become a matter of frequent and Inter esting comment. It is Penrose who is tak ing care of the fight on Barnes In the Sen ate and it is Penrose who has stood by the President In a number of close fights In the Senate. Penrose a Reformer. Penrose himself, though, has become a reformer. He has nobly placed himself at the head of the moral and reform forces of the state. He proposes to let the people nominate their own candidate for governor, or at least make them think that they have done so. Naturally so good a reformer as Senator Penrose looks to the White House to aid In carrying forward the betterment of political conditions and the advancement of mankind in moral and political methods. Senator Penrose didn't care to talk about it at all last night. But he sc-emed to be satisfied. The coming convention is to adopt some resolutions that may be of Importance, and the suggestion is made that the Pennsyl vania senator has not only consulted the President as to the right sort of a man to nominate for governor, but as to the reso lutions the convention will adopt. "PENNSY" TRAIN ACCIDENT. Locomotive Jumped Track and Plung ed Off Bridge Into River. NEW TORK, June 2.?The locomotive of a through express train from St. Louis on the Pennsylvania railroad Jumped the track at a switch on a bridge over the Hackensack river, just west of Jersey City, today and plunged ofT the bridge into the river.

Five Pullman cars, composing the remainder of the train, were not derailed. Engineer James H. Ellis and Fireman William Messner, both of Philadelphia. Jumped from the locomotive into the river and escaped injury. Inhere were thirty-one passengers on the train, none of whom was injured. DEGREES FOR DISTRICT BOYS.

DENVER, June 3.?The convention of the Western Federation of Miners today adopted a resolution on the Imprisonment of their head officers in Idaho, and also on the trouble yesterday at Cananea, Mexico.

The resolution on the Cananea riots fol lows: "Whereas the telegraphic dispatches herald the fact that the Mexicans in Cana nea, Mexico, asked for an Increase of wages and through these attempts for better conditions, violation Is now rampant in Mexico; and, "Whereas the Western Federation of Miners recognizes the class struggle throughout the world, and know no race or creed in the battle for industrial free dom; therefore, be it "Resolved, That, while we deplore the loss of life and property, the Western Federa tion of Miners, in convention assembled, sends greetings to the Mexicans, trusting that their efforts for a higher standard of living will be crowned with success."

ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE Credit Taken for Making the Bill Constitutional. THE SENATE AMENDMENTS Were Practically Adopted?Details of the Sections?Bepresentative Hepburn's Statement. The agreement of the conferees on the railroad rate bill has simplified the entire legislative program of Congress and has set the political leaders to thinking over the division of honors In the passage of that measure, some phases of which on both the republican and democratic sides have been denounced In violent language. Senator TlHman declared only a few days ago, when he stated that he would vote for the bill with the broad; court review amend ment that had been agreed upon on the republican side, that he had never voted for any bill with so great a feeling of mis giving. Now It Is whispered about that the South Carolina senator would like to have his name branded on that "child," as he often referred to It In his remarks. In fact it Is apt to be known as the Hep burn-Tillman bill, and if that name Is given to it the South Carolina senator is not at all likely to disavow the child as he has often threatened to do. Making the Bill Constitutional. On the republican side credit is taken for making the bill constitutional, as many of the ablest lawyers of the 8enate declared that it would not stand a test before the Supreme Court of the United States had not the broad court review amendment that was so strongly opposed by the President up to the time he agreed to it been adopted. The fact Is well recognized that the bill contains many provisions that will do any party good if it can lay claim to them, but the division of creoit between the two parties is so well defined that it will be hard to ex plain it all on the stump. There are some two-edged swords in the bill, and later on there may be an effort to shift responsi bility in some cases as well as efforts to claim it in others. In the matter of passes, for Instance, tne conferees struck om the paragraph relating to them which contained many exceptions, including the great body of 2,000.000 rail road employes, and adopted a straight anti pass amendment without any exceptions whatever. There is sure to be some spar-, ring in the Senate and House to fix the re sponsibility for that provision, and sugges tions are now heard that there is apt to be resentment in that large class of voters that many take some tangible shape In tne next congressional election. But how the resentment will be directed is not clear, ex cept that Senator Culberson has been re garded as the leading exponent of the clean-cut anti-pass amendment. But as it is In accordance with what is said to be a strong sentiment In Texas, it is not likely to cause the Texas senator any personal in convenience. Pipe-Line Provision. The pipe-line provision was confined to I oil by the action of the conferees, and all reference to other commodities was stricken from the bill. In that shape it will affect chiefly the Standard Oil Company, which is the owner of the great pipe lines of the country, except that the Independent oil refining industry also has quite an exten sive system of pipe lines extending from the oil region of Pennsylvania to the sea board. Just how that provision of the bill will work out is yet to be seen. The elimination of the "Jim Crow cars provision Is extremely welcome to the col ored people, who have been stirred up over it as they claimed they gained nothing by it while It gave federal sanction to the "Jim' Crow" cars of the south engaged in interstate business, and would promote the extension of the system In the north. This amendment was urged by Senator TiUman, who finally let it go with an agreement that the clause requiring Ave days' notice to the commission of any injunction, inter locutory order or decree suspending or re straining the enforcement of an order of the commission on hearing. These two Senate amendments were the last that were fought over by the conferees. In practically all essential details the conferees on the railroad rate bill agreed to the measure as it was passed by the Senate. The report was signed at about 4pm., and almost immediately presented to both houses. It shows that the Senate receded from six amendments, two of which merely change the numbers of sections, while twenty-eight of its amendments were retained verbatim and the remaining seven teen amendments were redrafted and re tained under different phraseology. Senator Tillman, chairman of the Senate conferees, gave notice that he will urge prompt action on the report in the Senate. As soon as disposed of there t is say it will be acted upon by the House with the utmost dispatch. Disposition of the Amendments. The disposition of the amendments in the order in which they appear in the bill fol The first amendment to the bill Is that making pipe lines common carriers. It was stricken out and included in the amendment makine express companies common car eer* fleeplng car companies having been eliminated? so that the amendment now rt"Tho tirm 'common carriers,' as used in this act, shall include express companies and all persons or corporations engaged in the transportation of oil by pipe lines, or partly by pipe lines and partly by railroad, or partly by P'P? and Partly by WThe next amendment is that prohibiting nasses It was entirely redrafted, made much more stringent, all excepted classes being eliminated and to either Issue or receive free transportation being made a misdemeanor. The amendment is as fol 10*No carrier subject to the provisions of this act shall, after January 1. 1907, direct ly or indirectly, issue or give any interstate free ticket, free pass or free transporta tion for passage. Any carrier violating this provision shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a line of not ex ceeding $1,000; and any person who used, solicits or accepts for himself or for an other any such interstate free ticket, free pass or free transportation, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon con viction thereof, be subject to a like pen alty." The Elklns commodity amendment was retained practically In the form originally aKreed upon and the provisions later in serted eliminating timber and the manufac tured products thereof, from Its applica tion was stricken out. As agreed the amendment provides that after May 1, tSM it shall be unlawful for any common 2Si?r to transport any article or com modity manufactured, mined or produced to it. or produced under its authority, or which it may own in whole or ia part, or In -which It may have any lnt?-e9t direct or Indirect, except such articles of com modifies as may be necessary andI tatended for Its own uae In the conduct of business as a common carrier. The requirement that common carrlei* shall upon application of any shipper eon struct and operate switch conations With private side tracks was amended to m elude the applications of tater*' "T ^ lines of railroads. This provlslon wa' offered In the Senate, bu* wasnotadopted. and the statement was made today that u will be objected to when the conference im port Is taken under consideration by Senate. "Jim Crow" Amendment. The Senate receded from what is known as the "Jim crow" amendment, which de clared that equally pood service and ac commodations should be given to all per sons paying the same compensation for in terstate transportation of passengers. The provision -was strlckcn out of the bill. The several Senate amendments, twenty in number, relating to the publication of schedules of rates and charges of all kind., were agTeed to and to the provision rela*" ing to joint rates was added the following "If no joint rate over the through rate has been established the several carriers in such through rate shall Ale, print and keep open to public Inspection as aforesaid, the separately established rates, fares and charges applied to the through transpor ^The original penal sections of th^,,n1t?rstf^e commerce law, which were repealed by the Eikins law. and placed in the bill by the Senate, were retained by the conference committee. The Senate amendment how ever, was amended by striking out the words "knowingly and willfully" in the pro vision relating to offering or accepting re bates. concessions or discriminations pro hibited by the act. The conferees also eliminated the proviso which declared that the penalties should not apply to rebate* or considerations received prior to the pas sage and approval of this act. All of the Senate amendments to sfctwn 4, which is the rate-making section of the bill, were retained. Among these are sev eral having relation to the Allison compro mise. The most important of these w<*re the striking out of the words "In its judg ment," and the words "and fairly remuner The Senate provision was retained provid ing that order of the commission shall take effect within such reasonable time, not less than thirty days, as shall be prescribed in the order of the commission. In the same section the Senate amendment was agreed to which provides that through routes and joint rates established shall apply when one of the connecting carriers is a water line. The proviso in relation to complaints for the recovery of damages, which shall be filed with the commission within two years from the time the cause of action accrues. Is amended so that it reads: "That claims accrued prior to the passage of this act may be presented within one 5<Th? Senate receded from the McCumber amendment changing the word "regularly to "lawfully" in relation to service upon the'sarrler of notice of disobedience of or ders of the c^mlsslon. Allison Provisions Retained. The portions of the Allison amendment covered by section 5 of the bill were all re tained. These provide that suits may be brought in any of the circuit courts "against the commission;" apply the expediting act to hearings on applications for preliminary injunctions, and provide that no injunction or interlocutory order or decree suspending or restraining the enforcement of orders of the commission shall be granted except on hearing after not less than five ^Osnotlce to the commission, and provide that appeals may be taken direct to the Supreme Cou of the United States.

STATEMENT BY MAJORITY For&ker Amendment Accepted With out Change. THE OHIO SEHATOR'S NOTICE Will Move to Disagree nod Instruct Conferees to Insist on Senate Amendments. As foreseen in The Star yesterday after* noon, the conference report on the state hood bill, which had been previously agreed upon, was presented In the Senate by Sen ator Beveridge, who asked that it be print ed and lie over for future consideration. The report was unanimous nave on what Senator Patterson, one of the democratio conferees, termed "thecrucial point,' which is the Joint statehood provision for ..rlsnna and New Mexico. On this point the minor ity members disagreed. They refused t? accede to the terms of the House bill, which they say provides "elaborate ma chinery" for the coming election, and "IB Intended to coerce voters to favor Joint statehood." The democrats said there would be vig orous opposition to the conference report in the Senate. Statement by the Majority. The following statement was made by the majority members of the conference: "The conference report gives flfty-tlve del egates to the Indian Territory, fifty-five to Oklahoma and one to the Osage Indian res ervation. "It strikes out the Warren amendment, which permitted the mineral school land* of Oklahomr to be taken up by miners, and provides Instead that the lands shall be kept by the state of Oklahoma for Its schools: that they shall not be sold until 11(15. and in the rpeantime the school board of the new state may lease the lands and the proceeds thereof to go Into the school funds of the state. "The capital is temporarily located at Guthrie until 1H1M. after which the people at an election to be provided by the legis lature will fix the capital permanently, but the legislature Is not permitted to appro priate any money for any permanent cap ital buildings at Guthrie in the meantime. "New Mexico and Arflona are permitted to vote separately, its provided by the amendment introduced by Senator Foraker lasit year and adopted by the Senate, and as reintroduced by Senator Foraker this year. It simply provides that the consti tution of the new state shall be submitted to an election of the people on Nuvemi>er 0, and If a majority of the people of either territory vote against the constitution it fails. "The conference' committee accepted the Foraker amendment without change." Trying to Get Together. The next two or three days will be de voted by the adherents of the two factions In the Senate to drumming up strength for their respective contentions. Senator Foraker will lead the fight for his subse quent amendment, which contemplates giv ing Arlxona the right by vote at a special election, to say whether she will hitch up with New Mexico In Joint statehood. He will be supported by a number of demo crats. The outcome of the contest is in doubt at this stage, even Senator Beve rldge. while hopeful, admitting that there Is no absolute surety of a majority in fa vor of the conference report. There are two elements of doubt in the situation. The first is what will the Sen ate do with the agrement and the second Is what will the House do If the Senate re fuses to accede to the conference agree ment? There are big politics in the game for the republicans and the democrats It is certain the statehood legislation will be used In the coming congressional campaign. The democrats are trying to make capital and the republicans trying to resolve their differences of opinion without allowing the democrats to make capital. There is considerable talk about friction between the House and Senate and about saving the pride of the Speaker and of the Senate, respectively. The republican poli ticians, however, know that the country will hold the republican administration re sponsible for the outcome and can not dif ferentiate between the petty squabbles of the House and Senate. So the managers In the two bodies are striving to get to gether, while the democrats are endeavor ing to keep them apart. What May Happen. If the Senate refuses to concur In the conference report the fight will shift to the House again. It is threatened that if t'he conference report is rejected the Sen ate will add an amendment to some ap propriation bill providing for the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory and omitting all reference to Arizona ai d New Mexico. In that event there are threats that the House would hold up the appro priation bill until the Senate accedes. It is considered quite probable that It the Senate rejects the conference agree-' ment a long and bitter contention will arise between the two houses. SENTENCED FOR THIRD TIME. Murderers of the Carter Children to Hang July 13. VALDOSTA, Ga, June 2?For the third time since the murder of th<? Carter chil dren J. G. Kawlings and his sons M:lton and Jesse and Alf Moore, colored, have been sentenced to hang. The date fixed is Fri day, July 13. Judge Mitchell asked each of them it they had anything to say why the sentence of the court should not be pronounced and both of the boys responded In short talks In which they asserted their Innocence and stated that their lives had been sworn away by Alf Moore and Carter. J. G. Rawlings made quite a lengthy speecii to the court, in which l.e declared that his boys had nothing to do with the killing. He said that they had not had a fair trial and they had not been treated right; that their conviouon was me result of misrepresentation on the part of those who had testified against the boys. Rawl ings spoke entirely for the boys and made no reference to himself. Alf Moore had little to say except that he had told the truth at the trial and that he believed that God will be pleased with what he had done. Clarence Eddy Divorced.
