TILLMAN'S TILT
ENLIVENS SENATE
. )SPOONER AND SOUTHERN MAN
t HAVE ARGUMENT
; Discussion of Rate Bill Brings Out
; , Tart Language — Wallace's
Testimony Read In the
House
i By Associated Press.
■Vr; WASHINGTON, March 23.— Mr.
■f Spooner today concluded his speech in
1 the senate on the railroad bill, and the
'• fortifications appropriations bill was
.taken up and passed. The bill carries
'\im appropriation of $125,000 for the
erection of a powder manufactory, and
Mr. Daniel spoke at length in support
; of the provision. He alleged that the
~' nation was entirely at the mercy of a
powder trust and urged that the
I amendment be adopted as a safeguard.
As passed the bill carries an appro-
priation of $5,255.943.
' Mr. Tlllman also spoke on the rail
road rate bill, suggesting that the in
terstate commerce commission should
have authority to enjoin the railroads
from increasing their rates. He said
the suggestion had been made by a
"cornfield lawyer" in Oklahoma.
Reading fro.m the letter, Mr. Tillman
said:
' "Now this man wants to know why,
"if you can enjoin the lowering of a
'- irate, why it is not possible to enjoin
■ 'the raising of a rate."
'■'. He followed this up with a number of
"other questions taken from the letter
.'.and said that the answer was, "What
I is sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander."
• Looking at Mr. Spooner, the senator
said: "Now I represent the goose and
; the senator from Wisconsin is speak
| ing for the gander."
• Mr. Spooner interrupted, saying that
*he had not Intended to ridicule Mr.
:.'. Tlllman, but said that the object of
■ his remarks was that one should not
hire a cornfield lawyer to argue a con-
I Gtitutional point.
"I would not." replied Mr. Tillman.
"A cornfield lawyer might beat you
out on principles, but he would go to
'flinders on practice."
Temporary Injunctions
> Mr. Spooner. declared that under the
fifth amendment to the constitution
the circuit court could •not be deprived
of the right to issue temporary injunc
tions. Mr. Spooner then went on with
an argument intended to show that
'the carrier as well as the shipper was
.entitled to the law's protection.
' Mr. Spooner closed with a reference
'to the. danger which he believed ex
;l?ts of invalidating the rate bili by the
adoption of the Bailey amendment.
; Mr. Tillman declared that if it were
not for a distrust of the federal judges
(and the arbitrary and tyrannical way
Jn which they exercised their powers
there would be no occasion for an
amendment to the rate bill to curtail
their authority to Issue Injunctions.
Immediately after the senate con
vened Mr. Beverldgo renewed his mo
' tion authorizing the appointment of
j conferees on the part of the senate
i to meet house representatives on the
{statehood bill and Mr. Foraker with
idrew his amendment requiring the sub
.' mission of the question of selecting con
.! ferees to the senate.
Messrs. Beverirlge, Dlllingham and
Patterson were designated by the chair
as conferees on the part of the senate,
the selection being made by Mr. Bever
idge.

Record of One Day Displays List of
Shocking Misdeeds — Bombs and
Revolvers Used Every.
. where
By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 23.—
Lawlessness and crime are keeping
pace in Russia with the repressive
measures of the government. Columns
of newspapers are daily filled with rec
ords of murders and robberies, and
side by side lire brief chronicles of con
demnations and military executions of
political offenders. The majority of
the roberies anil assassinations are of
a political nature and everywhere the
revolutionists arc fighting their op
pressors with bombs and revolvers. The
record of a single day shows the dis
tracted state of the country.
At Tamboff. Riga, Warsaw, Batoum,
Mitsu and Chita yesterday military
executions took place, while from half
a dozen other cities reports of death
sentences passed by military courts on
political prisoners come.
From Stavropol and Kuban provinces
in the Caucasus come reports of the
pillage of churches and the theft of
sacred jewel encrusted relics. Near
Samara, province of Samara, robbers
disguised as rural guards held up a
mull coach and carried off $19,000 in
booty, and at Orenburg an armed band
plundered the state distillery and sev
eral pharmacies.

lice and at Starjitsy, Poland,, a large
foundry was set on fire and burned.
Armed men at Ekaterinoslav robbed

infernal machine was thrown through
a window in an assembly of nobles,
and in Sebastopol eight masked men
entered a store, bound and gagged the
proprietor and employes and escaped
with the contents of the till. The spirit
of lawlessness has also penetrated
north, which part of the country is
stilt snowbound.
The peasants of Vologoda province,
on the road to Archangel, are driving
off the proprietors. They fought a bat
tle near Yarcnok with a detachment of
130 Cossacks, were defeated and left
a number of dead on the field. On the
other hand, near Bloseisk, In Novgorod
province, the peasants were victorious
in a fight with guards, causing the
latter to retreat.

out and in all the principal cities hun
dreds if. not thousands of men are

INSURANCE MEN
COMMIT LARCENY
SAYS JUSTICE Q'SULLIVAN OF
NEW YORK
Contributions of Political Campaign
Funds Constitute Crime — Clash
With District Attorney
Jerome
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 23.— The officers
of life Insurance companies who con
tributed a portion of the companies'
funds to polltcal campaigns committed
larceny, is tho opinion of Justice O'Sul
llvan of the court of general sessions.
Justice O'Sulllvan expressed his
opinion In court today in replying to
the presentment submitted to him by
the grand jury which Is investigating
some phases of the Insurance business
which were developed by the legisla
tive committee. He held the larceny
was committed by the officers who
authorized such contributions and
charged the jury to investigate as to
the responsibility for such crimes.
This opnion Is directly opposite to
the one on the same subject which was
submitted to Justice O'Sullivan by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome several days
ago. Replying to Justice, O'Sullivan,
District Attorney Jerome reiterated his
opinion that the acts of the insurance
officials did not constitute larceny and
told the court that if he maintained his
contrary opinion that it was up to the
grand jury to seek cause for Indict
ments for larceny against George W.
Perkins, former vice president of the
New York Life, who admitted giving
poltlcal contributions, and against
George B. Cortelyou, chairman, and
Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Re
publican national committee, as the
receivers of stolen goods.
Jerome's Proposition
District Attorney Jerome said, ad
dressing the court:
"If your honor will sit as a magis
trate in this case I will submit affi
davits as to the acts committed by
George \V. Perkins, and will ask the
warrant for his arrest. A writ of
habeas corpus will follow and the case
will be taken to tho highest court,
where I will retain Alton B. Parker as
special counsel."
Justice O'Sullivan refused to grant
the warrant.
After Judge O'Sullivan had delivered
his remarks to the grand jury there
was some question as to their exact
import, one portion of the judge's re
marks dealing with the question of in
tent in such a manner as to make it
appear that it was the duty of the
grand jury to consider the matter of
intent in its determination of the ques
tion as to whether larceny had been
committed. Judge O'Sullivan's state
ment'that there was larceny was made
in answer to the hypothetical ques
tion put to him in which certain sup
positions were acpepted as facts.
The supposition dealt with the mak
ing of contributions by authority of in
surance officials. •.. '

Joke of stretching a rope across a bend
In the road to "hold up the wedding
party and demand tribute," some mis
creant came very near killing several
persons in a bridal procession near
here today. . .
An hour after the marriage of Ed
ward K. Unangst and Miss Stella M.
Hlnkle, in Lower Saucon this after
noon and while the bridal company
was hurrying to the depot here, tha
horses hitched to the bridegroom s car
riage were suddenly thrown in som
ersaults by the rope stretched taut
across the pike. Then a covered spring
wagon and 'two carriages filled witn
guests were piled on top of them.
There was a general mixup, and the
uncontrollable teams narrowly escaped
falling over the side o£ a high stone
bridge. • •■•*<".■ ,
The bride and bridegroom escaped
with a bad fright, covered with mud
from head to foot.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, March 23.— "You ought
not to be out at night alone. You have
brought this on yourself."
That Is what a masher said to Miss
Plath, as he seized her wHile she was
on her way home.
Miss Plath let her right fist fly out,
and followed with a muscular kick.
Down went the masher with a crash
on his face. Miss Plath kicked him
until he was insensible, and then, fear-
Ing that Bhe had killed him, ran home.
The attack occurred at One Hundred
and Second street and Ewlng avenue.
Later she reported the affair to the
police, timidly asking If they had found
the man's body.

PUPIL WRITES UPSIDE DOWN
Penmanship of Ten Year Old Boy
Astonishes School Teacher
and Others
Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, March 23.— Miss Gerlach,
teacher in the fourth grade of the Per
kins Bass school, has discovered that
one of her pupils. Glen W. Heckelman,
10 years old, son of William Heckel-^
man, a butcher, 1114 West Sixty-seventh
street, writes backwards and upside
down. '.-..;
In all other respects Glen is an or
dinary boy, and he thinks It strange
that exception should be taken to, his
style of writing. After two weeks' trial
he said: "I just can't learn to write
any other way." v. /. .
When seen ut his residence yesterday
afternoon ho gave an exhibition of his
penmanship by writing, with excep
tional rapidity for a boy of his age:
"This is a fine day," beginning with- the ■
"y" in "day" nnd finishing with the
capital "T" at the beginning of the sen
tence. All the words were written up
side down. ____. ' '■•"

Yes. 100,000 times each day. Does
it send out good blood or bad blood?
You know, for good blood is good
health; baa blood, bad health. Ask

He knows all about this medicine, \-
