PATTERSON'S ATTACK
ON SHIPPING TRADh
Dcclares That Industry Consti

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C? February 2.?
There was for a moir.ent to-day a pros
pect that tho statehood hlll would i*o
ceiVe its flrst foniinl readlng in . the
Senate, always tlio initial step in the
conslderatlon of any measure tliat lias
been roported from a coniinlttee. Tho
Senate took up tlie calcndar liniiiedjately
after disposing nt the routine business and
as the statehood blll ocetlpied the flrst
place tho secretary had begun to read it
beforo any or the opponents of tlie blll
renlized tho sltuatlon, llo had coyered
bm a few pagOfl wlien Mr. Teller ob
i ? ted aml put a stop to the prbceeding
for the time.
I The shipping hlll was mado the basls of
a ruilhing debato botween Mr, Pattorson
' ln opposltlon and Mr. Galllnger and Mr.
Perkins In support.
' Mr. Pattorson csp'eclally crftlclsed the
j piovislon for a subventlon to tlie Occanlc

REPORT LAID BEFORE HOUSE

WAS11INGTON Fobruary 2.?Imme
dlately after tho Houso was called to ordor
Spenkor Cnnnon to-day mado publio tho

Tho totnl amount of unglnned cotton
shown by the report Is 250.S84 bnles with
1,013 glnnerlus utiheard from. Thls publl
catlon was in accordanco wlth tho Sima
resolution passed by the Houso requlrlng
Dlrector North, of tho Census Bureau, to
furnlsh to Congress all data on un?
glnned cotton or tho crop of 1903 coHoctod
beiure january 10.
Aii eilort waa made to havo Speaiter
Cannon order tho roport read ln the
llouse, but ho flatly refused to do thls,
Baying the document must pass through
ordinary channels, und aniiounced that he
thought tho llgures wero mlslniormatlon,
rather than lntormatlon, and that thoy
wero based on partlal reiurns, and of
llttle value.
Tho report had not arrlved at tho Houso
when the speaker rapped for order. ln
responso to inquirlcs from tho Dep-ii't
ment of Commcrce nnd Labor as to how
the report should bo handlc-d, he replicd
that ho would turn It over to the Journal
clerk and havo It made public through
the public document room, In case lt ni
rlved before the House went into com?
mittee of tlie whole.
Otherwlse he sald lt must walt untll
the llouse came out or a committee of
tho whole, aa ho dld not purpose de
viatlng in thu least from the ordinary
proceedure for the purposo of publlshlng
llgures or iiuerest cliieily to speculators.
Offlclals of tho Department of Coma

the capitol, as they d.d not wlsh to bu
rcsponalble for delay, ond lt arrlved in
tlmo to be placed ln the Speaker's charge
before the llouse took up the day's woik.
Under orders from the Speaker, a cler*
In tho Houso document Tr**-*- read tho
ligures for a large group of members of
the House and ncwapaper men, who were
eagerly awaiting the totals ln the report.
Southern members expressed much dla
satisfactlon wlth the flgures and said they
were far from the truth. Members from
the Northern cotton mlll dlstricts wero
equally harsh In their crlticlsma of the
totals nnd declared the ginTeries unhedrd
from might make a radlcal dlfferenee ln
the flgures.

BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.
We like best to call Scott's
Emulsion a food-medicine.
It is a term that aptly dc
scribes the character and ac
tion of our Emulsion. More
than amedicine?more than
a food, yet combining the
vital principles of both. It is
for t^iis reason that Scott's
Emulsion has a distinct and
special value in all wasting
diseases. There is nothing
better to remedy the troubles
of imperfect growth and deli
cate health in children. The
action of Scott's Emulsion
is just as effective in treat
ing wcakness and wasting
in adults. .

" IS GREAT
riie Best Comedy That Has Been
at the Academy in
Years.
IS DEUGHTFULLY AMERICAN
[t Was Played By An All-Star
Cast With Honors Enough
. for All.
When the curtaln fcll on "Tho Hclr
o the Hoorah" at tho Academy last night,
thoro was not" a inan or woman In the
largo audience that lllled the playhousu
who dld not say "g'ood-bye" wlth regret
to the best comedy that has been seen
In Rlchmond thls season.
Not a dul| niouient was there In the
four nll-too-short acts, nor. was there
a slngle sltuatlon that soemlngly could
have been improved upon.
Somo one onco sald that he rcgretted
all hls llfe that he hnd ever read "Henry
Esmond." because, he sald, he could
never again reud lt for the flrst time.
nnd this same selllsh pralse mlght be
well accorded to the delightful Amerlcan
comedry of Dave Arnistrong's, tceming
as it is wlth broad, sweet humor, refresh
Ing wlth Its great lnughlng waves of slm
pllcity, alive wlth tlie stirring atmos
phere of prlmitlve elvllizntlon, and aglow
wlth real llfe.
First-Class Play.
There can searccly be said too much
In pralse of the play, nor of the excellent
company which produced it In a manner
which left nothlng to bo deslred for. nf
the seventeeu parts In the plny, every
slngle one was in more than capable
hands. -*
It mlght well ho; pftid thru^tlTtr cbmody
ls not mutilated so ns to bring any one
part into cspeeial promincnee, for thero
were a round dozen characters of almost
enual hnport. Indeed, so true wns thls
that if twelve people we.ro asked to sny
who was the "star," It is more than
probahie that no two would name the
yamc playor.
The story Is the saine old. thrend-bare
theme of the huFbandan<] wife estranged
by thttr proverblnl mothor-ln-law. of the
reconcl'.lntlon In thef-last act, nnd "they
llved happlly ever- aftunvards" as a
flnnle.
That Is the theme,: hut it Is hnndled in
a masterly manner by the hand of nn
artist.
The sltuatlnns nro', new, the humoi- of '
Western life, ls gehulne, tlie charmlng
love seenes are fresh and far removed
from tlie commonplnce. while the comedy
is full of Amerlcan flavor. breathing n
different alr from tho g&lltc ndap'atfon-*
whlch have of late lnfested the E-iglish
speaking stage.
Air Out of Doors.
Thoro Is utterly lncking lhe color of '
suggestion, for one breatlus the renlthv
alr of tlie open and leaves tlie theatre
wlth a pleasant, wholesome taste in his
motith. with, porhaps, a susplclon of tears
in hls eyes, and wlth somethlng llko
spring and love ln hls heart.
Miss Jnne Peyton, place aux dames, as
Mrs. Kato Brandon. of the Katydid Mlne.
was charnilng. easy and graceful, llttlng
the part us though it had been wrltten
for her, and so pretty .4hat she would
have been delightful hnd she not been
equally as clcver.
MIss Nora O'Brien nnd Miss T.oulse
Rutter wero both charmlng, and Mr. Guy
Bates Post, was more than capable.
The favorites, however, w.ere Mr. "nrn
cst Uitiaoii and Mr. Wilford I.ucas, w'o
slmply romped away wlth tho comedy,
whlch In Irrr, capable hands would havo
glven place 10 tho moro serious situatiohs.
Mr. C. S. Williams was good, us indeed
was every ono of the well balanc.d com?
pany, than wlileh there has been seen
nono more capble or more convlncing at
the Academy.
"The Ueir to tho Hoorah" Is n play
to which one must say with regret "au
a-evolr,'. but undor no drcuinslanees
"adieu."
Sign of the Cross,
Wilson Barrrett's great religious
drama, "Tlie Sign of the Cross," whlch
wlll t?o seen at tho Academy thfs nfter?
noon and to-nlght, Is concerned In its
thrlllhig und gruphlc story wlth tho per
secutlon of tho Chrlstlans. The sceno
ls lald In Rome under tho tyronnlcal rulo
of Noro. The play has a magnltlcent
scenlc display. settlng forth In rlohest
eolors the Hpli-ndors and ltixury of the
courl of Home wllh the gorgeous cos
tutrrca of the womon. The company tn
be seen horo under tho niunngemoiit of
Fred G. Borger and R. G. Craerin nuni
iicrs forty i-iirefully selected playors,
mutiv or whom won dlstlnotlon lu tho
leadlng rolea in Wllllani Greefs I.ondon

"Tho filnii of ihe Cross" to trluiiiphniit

Drew's Best Role.
As "Jlm Do Uancey" in this comedy of
tliat name, wrltten by Auguntus Tliomas,
John Drew lias ono of tho flnest rolos lie
lias ever had, fmui-tho fnct that every

Clowes force that an allcgation of ser?
ious malfessance In offlce" will be made.
This is Indlgnantly denied by Mr.
Clowes and hls frlends. Ab far as .Dr.
Foster ls concerned the only expresslon
known to have come from hlm at all
concerning ihe inatter was in responso
to a telegram yesterday from an after?
noon paper. Thls statement wns to the
effect that he was ready to "confront any
charge made ngainst me, pcreonlly or
as nn offlclal."
On the Clowes sldo tbe allegatlons an
more deflnlte, but can scarcely be glven
publicity in detall nt thla tlme. Wlt
nesses wlll be Introduced, records pro
duced, and aflldavlts flled, all sunposlng
that the record of the Itlchmonder ls
attacked. Frlends of Mr. Clowes boldly
assert that partlsan polltlcs figure to
some extent in the trouble, notwlths'.and
Ing the fact that bunator Sears is an
avowed Montague m**?i and S-'nator Sad?
ler, who Ib defending Mr. Clowes', an
avowed Martln man. It Is asaerted also
that ln defending himsnlf Mr. Clo.wes will
make startllng revelations of conditions
at the hospital that wlll demand a gen?
eral Inquiry. The attemptcd appolntrnent
of ex-lunatlcs to positions of rcBponsi
bllity In the asylum Is sald to be one
of tho charges made. Tho case of a well
known Rlchmond man who was an in
mute of Eastern Stato Hospital and who
dled recently wlll bo clted in support of
one of tho charges to be brought by the
Clowes forces.
MY, Clowes has recelved tclegrams and
lettera from several of hls assoelates on
the ijoard of dlrectors. Ho has the strong
support of nearly, If not aulte, all tho
members of thls board.
"What wlll be the general llno of your
defense?" ho was asked last nlght.
"lt is impossible for me to any dellnltely
now. No charges have been llled, and 1
am completely In tho dark. You inay
say thls, however, that I court the fullest
Inquiry;, and that while I am satisfied the
committee wlll do me full Justlce, I should
much prefer thls to bo an opon henring.
so that the people of Virginia may|kno\v
everything that 1 shall brlng out."
'-'How many witnesses wlll you Intro
duce?"
"Twenty or twenty-flve, perhaps, if tlih
attack comes In the way that I suppose
It wlll."
"Whom wlll you 'lntroduoo as wit?
nesses?"
"I am not In a posltlon to glvo you
the names at thls tlme. I shall, of coui'bo,
appon.r In person and wlll bo represented
by Colonel Anderson as counsol. ln nrt
d'ition, I wlll havo the commissloner of
State hospltals, Colonel L. AV. Lane, Jr.,

The regular meetlng nf the special

to bo the decldod dlsposltion of every?

catlng, ns growing out of tho executive
sesslon, ls the sHuatton that lias devol
oped ovor tho rcfuiial of tho Senato,
nt tho Instance of Hopntor Nlcmeyer, of
Portsmouth, to conflrm tho appolnt?
ment'of Joseph II. Saunders ns'super?
lntendent of publlc schools of Ports?
mouth. Mr. Saunders Is now ' In Rlch?
mond In tho Interosts of hls caso, and
tho flght botween tbo superlntendent
atid lhe senator la on to tho bltter.cnd.
Thero wlll bo no compromlsea. It Is
charged by tho Saundera sldo that Mr.
Nlcmeyer has a perBonal grlovunce
agalnst thn superlntendent. Mr. Nlcmeyer
admlts very frankly thnt he has a num?
ber of personnl ijbjectlnns to Mr. Saun?
ders, but these ho has lald aaldo nnd Is
not throwlng Into tho scalcs at all. llo la
mnking hls flght on other grounds w.ilcit
ho explalns hlmself.
"I object," ho said Thursday nlg'ut,
"to the manner In whlch Mr Saundera
secured thla appolntment. The change wns
very sudden and took everybody by sur
prlae. Mr. John C. Ashton had been su?
perlntendent of schools of Portamouth
for twenty years and was very Batlatuc
lory. No opposltlon appearcd and no
worry wns glven io tho matter, for every
Ibody wlahed nnd confldently expocted
Ashton to be reappolnted. But Ashton wns
turned out nnd Saundera put In suddenly,
and how riobody knows.
"I object to the conflrmntlon furthT
more on the ground that no man ahould
bo permltted to draw snlurles from t?vo
publlc ofHces In Vlrglnla at the sum e
tlmo. Mr. -. Saunders ia sirperlntcndent
of schools, for whlch ho recclves a anl
ary of l&V) a year. Ho Is also prlnclpnl of
tho Portsmouth High School, for whlch
he la pald $1,500 a year. There are acvon
schools In Portsmouth wlth about 2,300
scholars.
"I do not bellevo any man can bo
prlncipal of tho high school and at the
same time proporly attend to tho dutlei
of auperlntcndent of nll the schools. My
peraonal objections to Mr. Saunders I
do not advance at all. I shall mnko my
flght slrictly on business grounds. and
shall eertainly mako every effort to
prevent the nomlnatlon."
Followers of the superlntendent wlll,
on the other hand, exert themselves to
secure a conflrmntlon of the appolnt?
ment. A movement wlth thia end in view
hns nlrendy been stnrted in Portsmouth.
An effort wlll bo mnde to have Mr. Saun?
ders retained In both posltlons. and lt wlll
he argued that ln Lynchburg, Pulaskl nnd
othor places In Virginia the superlnten
