BIG STICK TACTICS
CHARGED TO TUFT
WASHINGTON, April !«.—Declar
ing his Independence of any "legis
lative program, Senator PolUver (Hc
publican, Iowa), this afternoon spoke
at length In opposition to the traffic
agreement section of the administra
tion railroad hill.
"1 intend on this question, as I have
on all others, to follow the line which
1 consider to be right," said Dolllver,
"without regard to any prescribed
plan. Whenever I deviate rrom that
course there will b© a ba k seat vacant
In the Senate and no artificial explana
tion will be necessary to account for
It.
"I think it exceedingly unfortunate
that a great measure like this should
be handled as a dogmatic propoaitlon
and peremptory orders given by any
body. I have never before known
such mapping out of work of the
carious departments. It is unfair to
that branch of the government charg
ed by th© constitution with legislation.
It also has the effect of making pro
posed enactments partisan which
should never be the case in law
making."
All political prejudices should be
abolished,, said Ilolliver, when the
matter of railroad legislation is un
dertaken. He said he respscted for
mer President Roosevelt and the
present president but added: “The
word and advice of neither should
be accepted as conclusive or binding."

to his friends, was about the young
est speculator In Wall street, killed
himself earely this morning In tha
home of his father, Leoa Dabo. an
artist, at 1123 Hudson street, Hobo
ken. Young Dabo was 17 years old,
but for a year Is said to haVa been
dealinz In stocks and bonds, buying
and selling on margin. He told his
Intimates, that he never met a serious
loss. His parents say that the ner
vous strain IrVuced by his following
the stock market was responsible tor
his suicide, for several weeks ago,
after studying the market quotations,
the lad developed melancholia, which
grew in intensity until he became a
nervous wreck.
The stock transactions of young
Dabo were not unknown to his
parents. In fact, say those who knew
the lad well, the first money with
which young Dabo began his short
career as a speculator he received
from his father. Just what stocks
Dabo dealt In could not be learned
to-night. Neither could the name of
his broker be learned, for the lad’s
father was losth to talk much of his
son's speculations. While the boy’s
friends say that he never lost In his
stock transactions, they are tnctlnert
to wonder ' why contiiTual success
should have driven young Dabo Into
melancholia.
GIVEN HIS FREEDOM
. ON PLEA OF WIFE
Because Frederick Jensen is the sole
support of a wife and three children
and they were having a hard time of
it during his stay In Jail, and because
Justice Crutchfield recommended
clemency. Governor Mann Monday
granted a conditional pardon to the
young man, who had been "sent up”
for thirty days on a larceny charge.
On I act Friday Jenser. was convict
ed in the police court on a charge of
having obtained |10 from David
Childs by means of misrepresentation
and Justice Crutchfield sentenced him
to thirty days In Jail. Monday morn
ing Mrs. Jensen, accompanied by two
bright, cherry-faced children, one
about seven and the other four, ap
peared at the governor’s office and
appealed to him to pardon her hus
band, because It was his first of
fense, and that she saw little hope
ahead for the next thirty days if he
remained in jail.
Her plea was re-enforced with a let
ter from the police court Justice In
which Justice Crutchfield said he had
never before had the young man In
court, and he believed the ends of
justice would be conserved by grant
ing a conditional pardon to Jensen.
The governor granted the pardon and
Jensen was released Monday after
noon.
