AUTOMOBILES
ENTER EXPOSITION,
Route for Motor Cars Is Decided
Upon by Executive
Committee.
COURSE TO BE A MILE LONG.
Provision Is Made for Leaving
Machines in an Inclosure
When Automobilists Wish
to Proceed on Foot.
Carriages and automobiles will not be
barred from the Exposition grounds dur
ing the World's Fair, according to a de
cision of the Executive Committee made
yesterday.
It was the original Intention not to al
low them within the grounds at all during
the time that the gates are open to vis
itors. Testerday, however, the committee
approved a route along which, vehicles
and automobiles will be allowed to travel
during the Exposition while the gates are
open to visitors.
This route was laid out by Director of
Works Taylor and is over a mile and a
half long, extending through some of the
most beautiful natural scenery in the
park.
The route extends from the southeast
gate of the Exposition to the terrace in
front of the Administration building and
in detail is as follows:
From Clayton road and Concourse drive
to Commonwealth avenue, in front of the
Indian Territory buUdlng; south along
Commonwealth avenue to a point between
the Minnesota and Massachusetts build
ings; then west along Constitution ave
nue: across the Gulch to the Junction of
Constitution avenue with The Trail, which
passes immediately south of the Palace
or Art; west along Tho Trail, past tha
Virginia, Tennessee and Idaho buildings,
tha Temple of Fraternity, the California
and Illinois buildings, the Observation
Wheel and the Japanese reservation to
University way; north on University way
to the Olympian way, which runs imme
diately north of Franco's reservation;
west on Olympian way to International
avenue: north on International avenue to
the circling road whlchleads to the ter
race of the Administration building.
Around this circle the return bend Is
made, the return being over the came road
except that from International avenue to
University way the route leads north of
tha Brazilian, Nlcaraguan, Siamese and
Mexican pavilions.
A yard or stable for vehicles and auto
mobiles, where they may be put up by vis
itors while they proceed on foot, is supplied
In the grounds close to Intramural Station
No. 11. which is some distance south of the
Jerusalem concession.
This route covers several portions of the
site which are not closely served by the
Intramural Railroad. At the same time,
it does not cross the Intramural, so that
all danger of collisions Is avoided.

Tribunal Within Inclosure Where
Admission Fees Are Charged
Regarded as Imprac

plan to hold court in the Administration
building at the World's Fair grounds dur
ing the Exposition Is impracticable, be
cause a court held within an Inclosure at
the gates of which admission fees are
charged would be Illegal.
There Is much speculation among law
yers as to how Judge Greensfelder would
get bis defendants; witnesses and Deputy
Sheriffs before him each morning, as offi
cers of the court and men accused of
crime could not be compelled to pay their
way into the Exposition grounds. Wit
nesses mlsht also object to buying tickets
of admission.
Numberless complications would arise.
It is said, if a court should bo held in the
Administration building. Unfortunates
who had spent their last dollar to cele

to secure E0 cents to pay their way Into
Judge Greensfelder's tribunal, with the
chance of getting a, sentence of thirty
days for their trouble. County Constables.
It Is held, would never get through arguing-
to the turnstllo keepers that they
were "the law" and should enter the gates
free.
Judge Greensfelder might, It Is argued,
forget his annual pass rome morning, and,
unless he shouldbe willing to go down
Into his pocket and buy a ticket, court
proceedings would be suspended that day.

W. BOURKE COCKRAN. JOHN DALZELL.
The New York Demccra.ic Congressman and the Pennsylvania Republican
yesterday continued their war of words, begun last Saturday, indulging In bitter
personalities and emphatic party denunciations.
CLIMAX OF BITTER DEBATE
BETWEEN DALZELL AND COCKRAN
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, April 23. The climax of tho bitter debate between Congress
man Dalzell (Republican) of Pennsylvania and Bourke Cockran (Democrat) of
New rork came to-day. Mr. Dalzell concluded a violent attack on Mr. Cock
ran with this sensational denunciation:
"On February 1 of the present year the gentleman (Mr. Cockran) made a
speech as a candidate for Congress to his convention, in which he said, among
other things: 'We have reached the point where America -is regarded as an
American hoodlum.' If there be any hoodlums amongst us they are not tha
product of American soil, American Institutions or American civilization. They
are to be found, rather, amongst those adventurers who, having left their own
country for their country's good, find In the field of American politics prolific
source of notoriety and pelf; men who. without conscience and without convic
tion, find an opportunity now with one party, now with another, to find a mar
ket for their peculiar wares, among which is not respectability."
In his reply Mr. Cockran, after denying in the most emphatic manner Mr.
Dalzell's charges that he (Cockran) was in politics for financial profit, intro
duced a .resolution providing for a full investigation of Dalzell's charges. He
declared that If that resolution should be adopted In all Its terms, something
more Important than his conduct or the action of the member from Pennsylva
nia would be mado clear. He then added:
"We will see Just how the election of 1S96 was conducted, and we shall see
whether. In fact, the presidency was bought or purchased, or whether it was
-won in honorable political conflict, or whether, it represented, as the gentle
man from Pennsylvania would have us believe, tha skill In corruption which
was possessed by the managers of the
.a
The Republic Bureau.
14th St. and Pennsylvania Ave,
Washington, April 26. His political prob
ity again challenged by Dalzell (Rep.) of
Pennsylvania, In an elaborate speech,
which was primarily a carefully prepared
Indictment of tha Tammany orator, W.
Bourke Cockran, In replying, created a
scene In the House more vividly dramatio
than that of last Saturday, and In a res
olution which he offered demanded an In
vestigation cf the charges at the hands
of tho House.
In tones quivering with fervor, face
white with anger, staring the Pennsyl
vanian direct In the eye, while the House
and crowded galleries were as stlU as the
tomb, Mr. Cockran read his resolution.
"Now," ho said, pointing at Mr. Dalzell,
"If what he has said be true, then I am
not worthy of membership In this House;
and If what he has eaid be false, he is
not worthy of contact with me or my col
leagues." Beginning in a dull hum. Democratic ap
plause rose to a roar which seemed to
shake the heavy walls of the National
Capitol. Cockran stood very erect, and in
menacing fashion kept his arm extended
Indicating Dalzell, as he poured foflh his
oratorical phrases, which were the answer
to as well as. In turn, a scathing arraign
ment of tha Republican.
Republican floor leaders were taken by
surprise and Democrats demanded Imme
diate consideration of the resolution.
Speaker Cannon also lost his composure
and endeavored to allay the high feeling
by suggesting delay. Democrats expos
tulated until tha Speaker finally availed
himself of an opportunity afforded by the
raising of a point of order and. by taking
tho point of order under advisement,
caused tho resolution to go over.
Since the charges affecting what Mr.
Cockran considers to be his.good standing
in the House are of a date (IKK) preceding
his present occupancy of a seat In the
House, it Is stated here, an excuse exists
for ruling the resolution out of order. Ac
cordingly. It is believed here to-night,
that Republicans will neither consider
nor adopt It. Were such an InvesUgatlon
ordered. It Is said. It would lead to a full
Inquiry Into the Republican methods used
In 1S06, and Republicans could not afford
this risk.
During the debate between Mr. Cockran
an.l Mr. Dalzell the bitterness of party
feeling shown on both sides of the cham
ber surpassed anything known at this
session. .'
ATTACKS COCKRAN'S RECORD.
Mr. Dalzell hud Mr. Cockran on the
rack for nearly two hours, during which
time he dealt largely with that gentle
man's political history, which, he said,
showed him to have been consecutively a
Grecnbacker,. a sound-money man and a
free-silver man.
He reverted to his statement of last
Saturday that he had been informed that
Mr. Cockran had accepted money to sup
port the campaign of McKinley, and
quoted extracts from newspapers to show
that was the general impression. A man.
he said, who would not have replied to
Mr. Cockran as he did on Saturday would
have been a poltroon and a coward.
Mr. Cockran, thoroughly Indignant at
times, denied the accusation of Mr. Dal
zell.-whom he arraigned for making state
ments which could not be substantiated.
Mr. Cockran denied that he had received
money from the Palmer and Buckner
Campaign Committee or that he had ever
received money for supporting McKinley
In 1&3S. If Mr. Dalzell, ha said, believed
the charges against him. It was nothing
X T? T
XT AV X
- -
'
- .
Republican organization.'
but a confession of the Republican party's
corruption and proof that the presidential
election had been purchased.
REPUBLICAN PARTY ARRAIGNED.
Corruption, Mr. Cockran argued both In
the specific sense of direct thefts by venal
officials and In the broader sense of the
tax on private industry for the benefit of
the few, as accomplished by prohibitive
tariffs la the principal issue with the peo
ple in the coming campaign. In this con
nection, he reiterated his assertion of last
Saturday that Joseph W. Folk of Missouri
Is truly of presidential size.
Ha again charged that the Republican
party la corrupt in all that It represents
and is proven literally corrupt in its ad
ministrative conduct of the Government.
The duty then of the Democracy, ha de
clared. Is to combat the degenerative trend
In principles, and to put forward a can
didate whose personality will guarantee
success to the influences fighting for clean
er politics and cleaner administration.
Bit, he Insisted, the immediate -lw.1. i
not the tariff, not a matter or a revenue
bill, since no action by the people can so
change tho complexion of the Senata dur
ing the next four years, so "that a tariff
measure might be enacted.
Tils being true, he maintained that Ihe
spending of the revenue, tho preventing of
needless or corrupt waste is the para
mount consideration.
TRIBUTE TO FOLK.
"There is a young man out in Mis
souri," he said, "whom wq may choose
as our standard-bearer. Wa do not need
you (addressing tho Republican side! tn
collect the revenues, but wo may need
him to keep you .from stealing them. And
whether our choice be the young man who
has won his spurs in Missouri, or wheth
er it be the Justice of New York who U
the candidate of his State, tho issue will
be the same. The need la that the candi
date r present the moral law in all its
applications to government."
BITTER PERSONALITIEB.
The debate opened with an exchange of
bitter personalities not often heard In
either house of Congress.
Mr. Dalzell referred to the colloquy be
tween himself and Mr. Cockran last Sat
urday, and called attention to the reply
of Mr. Cockran that he had never made a
Republican speech, but that he supported
-HcKlnley when he thought It right.
"But tho gentleman from Pennsylvania
would support him when he thinks It
prontable. '
Mr. Dalzell, with some feeling, declared
that he had asked Mr. Cockran a civil
question.
"I got a brutal reply," he said, and In
sisted that he did not question Mr. Cock
ran's honesty. The query might have
called Into question Mr. Cockran'a con
sistency. The" reply," he said, "was that the gen
tleman from New York stood on the high
plane of conscience, while I was playing
politics for profit."
Mr. Dalzell provoked loud Republican
applause when he said that, while he was
an intense partisan, his "brethren on the
other side will admit that generally,- at
least. I am a gentleman."
Judging by certain press dispatches ap
pearing after Mr. Cockran'a speech, Mr.
Dalzell said It would be inferred he had
mada an unjust attack on Mr. Cockran.
"On the contrary," he said, warmly,
"he mado a mean and contemptible at
tack on me," and be added that the man
who would have made any other response
