ALDRICH AND
LA FOLLETTE
ARE ATTACKED
Rhode Island Senator Grilled
.for Referring to German Gov
ernment as Impertinent
Exchange of Personalities Fol
lows Denial of Intention to
Insult Friendly Power
Wisconsin's Member Criticised
for Absence From Place in
. Chamber Through Illness
-iV rASHIXGTOX, June 3.— T*ie at-
TIA/ mosphere of the senate chamber
'^ • was surcharged -with electricity
'mU day.
At the opening of the morning ses
sion Stone took Aldrich to task for re
marks made previously in which Stone
said. Aldrich had accused the German
£of eminent of impertinence in aan at
tempt to influence American tariff legis
* . latlon.
Thia Aldrich denied, maintaining that
he. referred to "any government" that
might be involved in such a course. A
spirited colloquy followed for three
, hours, durtpg which time the senators
exchanged uncomplimentary remarks
freely.
In the end Stone said that while Al
drich* and Depew, who also had been
involved in the controversy, had not
made a straightforward retraction, as
hf had believed they should, they had
so "sugar ooated" the dose as to relieve
it of its bitter taste.
Attack on La Follette
When the tarifT bill was taken up at
S. o'clock in the first night's session
since congress was convened, every re
publican senator in the city except La
Follette was in his seat.-and.his absence
was the, subject of criticism. Another'
outbreak is almost sure to occur .when
the Wisconsin senator again gets th*
floor.
Calling attention to a. recess taken In
/ trie senate yesterday In order to glv«
l v La Follette an opportunity to rest and
to his failure to be on hand tonight to
resume his remarks, some senators
sought to show that be had received
\inusual consideration.
*y Prompt defense of La Follette came"
/-on Senators Borah and Dolliver, re
publicans, and Money, democrat.
Aldrich "Roasts" Beveridge
Beveridge suggested that the, senate
should adjourn for a reasonable time
to give La Fo'llette an opportunity to
recover and resume his Epeech, saying
.th^at no one could question that he
was iIL
Aldrich opposed the suggestion, say
ing that while the senators sympa
thized with La Follette "there was no
reason why Mr. Beveridge should not
rr.ake his own speech if he desired."
\u25a0 Beveridge immediatelr interrupted
... : Al<Jrich and refused to yield further to
..'him. saying: "I decline to yield because
;= lii'is not a question of sympathy and in
. "\u25a0lvhe second place 1 have no speech to
.\u25a0make."
11l feeling was apparent on every
>• side. ,'DolHver suggested that Aldrich
' .•"might take the opportunity to make
certain statements \u25a0which. he said had
." been 'promised to the senate for four
] weeks. Aldrich replied he would se
•jfect his own time to make any speech
that he desired.
Gal linger Feels Insulted
' Declaring that La Follette had been
insulting to him when lie. had asked
permission to interrupt the senator
from Wisconsin, Gallinger said an un
usual courtesy had been shown La Fol
lette yesterday when the senate took
& recess to give him time to recuperate.
-Jjk^'lt has been a part of the customary
."tactics of the senator from Wiscon
sin," said Penrose. "to plead illness In
\u25a0 Ihe midst of his speeches, and under
that plea to absent himself from the
chamber while, in fact, it is generally
known that he was consulting with the
representatives of yellow journals and
the editors of uplift magazines."
Borah sharply criticised the practice
of "making charges against a senator
in his absence.
La Follette Needed Physician
, Dolliver followed with a declaration
that he was near La Follette when he
was speaking yesterday, and that it
did no.t^require the services of a phy
sician to prove that he was suffering
severely.
Money, defending the Wisconsin sen
ator, declared that he could hear him
breathing heavily. i
To end the discussion Aldrich sug
gested that the senate pass over the
.cotton schedule- temporarily and "pro
ceed to the consideration of the flax
and -hemp schedule*.
This met with general approval, but
was followed by further discussion on
the question of courtesies extended to
senators who become ill while in pos
session of the flrbr.
c Scott and Beveridge Clash
"*W'>.eridge became Irritated when
. Scot/ suggested that he should obtain
permission from the . senator holding
the. floor before addressing the. senate.;
Beveridge said senators were equally
intelligent and one did not need to be
'^ntlnued «n Pitt 1 Column 4

Valley House, bu t Girls Con
quer Blaze Alone
\u25a0 Undaunted by the flames 'pouring
from the living room of their, beautiful
Mill Valley home; Helena, Isabelle 'and
Marie Brewer, three prominent society
girls,- heroically .dashed into the place
last night and,. by their endeavors,;suc
ceeded in extinguishing the blaze be
fore it could spread to other portions
of. the house.
. In so doing their dresses were
scorched and burned, their hands blis
tered and their faces blackened by
smoke. While all' thtee time and again
proved the caliber of their courage,
the. most daring .feats were those of
Helena Brewer, who seemed to
be without fear arid -who .was foremost
in the fight against the' flames.
The home is situated among. the high
hills above .Mill ..Valley." rThe girls'
father, a wealthy mining man, was'ab
sent, as was also a brother, Louis
Brewer. The three; girls went for a
short walk yesterday leaving
a fire burning In the grate "of the"Hy
ing r9om. Qn their return, they found
the room ,in flames.'
Isabelle Brewer ran in and started
pulling do*-n the burning curtains.. Her
sisters followed, and;the three, regard
less of their t dresses : or .of • the "flames
surrounding, them. Heroically, fought to
stamp, out, the flre. y . -From the \u25a0• EJsfelt
and Martinet cottages and "The Abbey,",
a bachelors' residence -. near . by. " help
csjtbc: 'but by' thf »'ti in<» : tlio 'three sisters
had the. blase well in; control. Even
with the arrival -of "male "help -they
refused^'tb'^ give lip their, places,' and
kept on fighting until , the last of the
flre. had been smothered out. . ;'
Had It 'not been for Uhe" display of
heroism, not only would the' Brewer
home . have been destroyed. ' * but .the
probabilities are .that the flames would
have j spread to the I other ' three . nearby
residences..^ Inasmuch as these places
are .without any adequate fire '. protec
tion, • saving them would • have been
well 'nigh Impossible. - " .
Miss Helena. Brewer, the bravest "of
the ij three brave girls, is one of ; L th'e
season's, debutantes. All are - - well
known in social circles on both sides
of tlie bay and are extremely popular.*
Their home In Mill Valley is one? of*
the handsomest in ' Marln \u25a0 county, - its
furnishings being extremely beautl-'
ful. , Apart,, from the living room, which
was . completely demolished, - the flre
did >no further, damage.

JORDAN ACCUSED OF
LIE AGAINST FRANCE
President of Stanford Univer
sity Contradicted by Profes
sor at Bryn Mawr College
[Special Dispatch to 1 The Call]'
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 3.— A
criticism, of France, made, by David
Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stan
ford Jr. university, -at the twenty
fourth "graduating exercises held this
morning at. Bryn Mawr college,, led to
an interruption in the
exercises/ as the result' of ; which- Pro
fessor Foulet of the French department
of the college angrily left the. plat
form, on which he was seated with the
rest- of- the faculty, after having brand
ed J Jordan as. a fabricator.
"A^ sensation was created by the inci
dent and it" seemed possible for a few
moments that actual disorder would
ensue. The hundreds ,of - cultured men
and women gathered in the gymnasium,
where the ' exercises were held, were
much excited and there was an out
burst ?f? f • a PPlause , upon the part of
many indorsing the professor's action.
Intermixed - with this applause, how
ever, was apparent a slight buzz of con
demnatioriT.,
Professor, Says It's a Lie
Jordan's subject was "War and Man
krnd." He dwelt at length upon the
effect *^of " war upon Spain, Italy and
France and came to a dramatic climax
when^he said that France was admit
tedly confessed to be a decadent nation
by Frenchmen themselves as the result
•of : the} numerous wars which it. had
undergone.
The statement was made with .em
phasis, and > Jordan ; paused for*a mo-*
ment to give it added force. During
the: : intensity, there was a scraping of
a -chair 'on the back row' of the plat
form .and the next instant Foulet ap
peared at the front; of -the, stage with
his face scarlet and visibly much agi
tated.< Turning squarely in •» front of
the speaker the professor raised his
hand ominously arid virtually yelling
in his "anger screamed: v
' ."That Is a lie. It is not so. ' Prance
is -not- decadent." . \u25a0. -
There was a" moment of" suspense,
and t then murmur of various expres
sions. \~ Foulet. 'j bowed- low to Jordan
and then walked down the steps of the
stage .with great dignity' and out of the
building. - .
Damper Upon Exercises
.'Jordan; was as surprised; as was the
audience 'and very Vi much! embarrassed.
After ;\u25a0 Foulet had left the" building he
made a motion as if to elicit order, and
theri'sald: . >
-"If there are no. more interruptions I
will 1 - continue." '
There was intense siience after that
until, the. speaker concluded his address."
The incident, however, had the'effect of
throwing a damper^ upon all the exer
cises, arid the Californian, as well as
Carey Thomas, president of the college,
.was plainly "ill at ease. Their embar
rassment was shared by the other mem
bers^of the faculty;

[Special Dispatch to The Call]
McCLOUD, June 3.— Four com
panies of the national guard
of California, - under command
of Adjutant General Lauck, have es
tablished peace and quiet in McCloud
after a week of unrest and some vio
lence following the strike of 700
Italian laborers for higher wages.
The strike is not ended. ' No settle
ment has been made, but peace, order
and security have been restored by
the . mere presence of the militia.
There has been no war today further
than that one Italian, who ignorantly
walked through the guard lines, was
jabbed by a bayonet and has been re
tired to the hospital.
McCloud was in darkness last night
becau?e-the strikers put the light and
power plant out of commission. It
was that one act of violence that
caused the militia to be sent here and
forfeited any sympathy the strikers
may-- have had from the general pulf
lic. The power plant is running
again tonight. , The McCloud lumber
company has resumed operations far
enough to give the town light, water
and fire- protection once more.
Troops Reach Scene
The special train bearing four com
panies of state militia arrived here
at 12:15 o'clock this afternoon, having
been three" hours in covering .the
16 miles between Sisson and Mc-
Cloud. The companies and.nujnber
of men were: Company E, Captain
Cannon, sflt men;. Company G. Captain
Mulligan, 37; Company 6, Captain Bo
den, 40; Company A, First Lieutenant '
Downing commanding-, 52; total, 17a
men. There was a large crowd, com
posed mostly of women and children,
at" the depot to watch the soldiers
alight from the train and begin their
military maneuvers. Not a striker was
In sight.
Less than an hour before 548 were
counted- in the mass that assembled la
front of the company store, where
their leader spoke -to the public as
follows:
"You say the soldiers are coming.
Well, we are going to stay here six
months if necessary. We ' have money
enough to live on and if your soldier*
arrest any of our leaders we will make
trouble for the soldiers."
Praise for Militia
It was a threat, but It antedated tha
arrival of the soldiers,
• The yoimg miliamen In Adjutant Gen
eral Lauck's command are soldierly in
bearing and have deported themselves
In;, a manner to^ win .praise- in doing
th*J» guard duty assigned to them. Camp
was pitched west of the new mill and
near' the electric light plant that was
stormed yesterday by the strikers. It
wasthe work of, less than an hour to '
cause a little village of a hundred and
more tents to spring up. The regimental
colors were soon, afloat and a line ot
guards placed* around ' the MeCloudL
River. lumber company's property.
During all the operation, the. strik
ers were In their quarters in the nortlv-
suburb and oh the southern edga
of town, apparently unaffected by tf»-^
presence ooff f the militia. They sat and
talked In "sroups or played their na«
tional game/
Sheriff Shifts \u25a0
Sheriff Howard was greatly rellevetl
to shift the responsibility of keeping?
the peace upon the shoulders of the ml-i
litia. For a week he and his handful off
deputies have managed affairs- so that
no serious act of violence occurred un
til disabling the light plant was ef
fected last evening. Governor Glllett'a
criticism ;was unjust : in. the opinion o?
people- on the ground, who could. b*«t
grasp the situation. A McCloud Rlvec
lumber company's official says:
"Governor Gillett was wrong. I*
would like to have seen "him take She-r-^
iff Howard's place, with SO men ant],'
note where he got off." .
An erroneous report was sent ou£
lton>; McCloud last week that * credited;
the " strikers with 'seizing the powde>p>
house. Their only really serioua offaas*
