MI TILLMAN SAYS SEimnsmcniTHicn tic cimoc PLEADS FOR FAIR PLAV Senator Tillman Said He Had Not Changed, Hut Was the Same Dem ocrat Now that He Was When He Went to the Senate Eighteen Years Ago. In expressing a preference for the chairmanship ot the Senate commit tee on appropriations, at the opening session of the caucus of Democratic Senators, on Wednesday, Senator li.

From whatever motive these men acted the result was the same: Democratic de feat and Democratic disgrace. We were a headless, tailless and spineless aggregation of politicLans, each working seemingly to have his own way and looking out for himself without regard to the party. There were always men who were willing to submit to the rule of the majority, although that was a fundamental Democratic principle. There has been no real leader in the Senate on the Democratic side since my entry into it. Hailey had the ability and knowledge of public matters, but his infirmities of temper and lack of tact made his leadership unthinkable to some men. Then envy and jealousy wen* at work. Finally in one caucus we did pass a resolution to make it a parti law that a two-thirds vote ear ed with it an obligation on the part o’ any man who claimed to be a Dem ocrat to obey and vote accordingly, cob i-s it involved his construction of <■" '' ..-ih utien or was against his : b d' s to his own constituents.

Men who an* not for us are against us, and the sooner we know it, tile bet ter for all concerned. Leadership in the Senate can not come by primary election or from a vote of its members; it must be won on the floor, and the man who aspires o such leadership must demonstrate his capacity as a debater, his fore sight and acumen as a leader, his geneneralshin as a manager, and his rapacity to enlist the ardent support of his fellow Senators Namdeoti Honaparte, the greatest m !f ir> gi-nltiB of modern times, \n army of sheep commanded i a 1 mi is better than an army of ons commanded b> a sheep ’ The time has con.e m the history of our p.ir'i when we must show whether ar.- i apable of governing the ,'ri or Hot 1 believe We have t gbt i’reM lent, but his admin straboti will prove a failure !f Con g r*-- '!"••* not !>a< k him u;' properly Tt..- .ompU-Mon and work of the eomn.Ht". * of this bo.lv and the oth er A .: 1 deti-rniin*' whether his Ad mi:, s'rat.on will be a success and Mi. par'y able to run the government -s' i!!> 1 do not believe m any < te- ti .m being allowed to name the comm'.tte««*i or place men on them I’ on. hi to tie done by those who i ! -o::ie i x por.etn e and op) or- ’ o i 1 g. of tho -e os ..i! fit ness .1 ’ !

Rule of Seniority. Almost from the foundation of the Government the rule of seniority has obtained in the Senate and House. There are some good things about it and some bad. Length of service in the Senate gives experience and knowledge of public affairs which new men ea not be expected to have. Hut because a man lias been here a long time it does not entitle him to a chairmanship, unless he is able to fill it acceptably to the Senate it self and do good work for the party. If a man is a failure as chairman of an important committee and cannot explain and defend its bills on the floor of the Senate itself, he is a failure and ought to be demoted. If he is not loyal to the President and to the platform he ought to be de moted. I have felt that the committee on appropriations would be too much of a burden for me to carry. I feel that I can best serve my country what little time I have left by serv ing President Wilson’s administra tion and I want to’occupy in the Sen ate a place to accomplish that. Of course, I do not know what will be the action of this caucus as to how chairmanships shall be assigned —whether the chairman of the cau cus shall name all the committee chairmen in their order, as his Judg ment dictates, or whether he shall be assisted in that work by men select ed by the caucus—a committee on committees as it were. If we had been together longer and knew each other better, or if the selection of th membership of the committees could be deferred until some time later, until the newer men hsd bad an opportunity to get acquainted with Action Occasions Great Surprise, Sup porters of Georgia Senator Charg- ATt ing Unfair Treatment. After spending the greater part of Friday in caucus, the Democratic Senators succeeded in agreeing upon candidates to fill only three of the five offices of that body. These were Senator James P. Clarke, of Arkan sas, to succeed Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, Republican, as pres ident pro tern of the Senate; the Rev. E. J. Prettyman, of the District of Columbia, to succeed the Rev. U. G. H. Pierce, as chaplain, and Charles P. Higgins, a real estate dealer of St. Louis to succeed E. Livingstone Cornelius, as sereeant-ut-arms. Senator Clarke was elected by a vote of 2 7 to 14 over Senator Huron, of Georgia, who alternated with Son- ::ter Gallinger in the old- of presi- ent protem throughout the last ses sion and whose election had . been considered practically a certainty since the Democrats gained control. Senator Clarke was placed in nom ination by Senator O'Gorman, of New York, and Senator Hacon by his col league, Senator Hoke Smith, of Geor gia. Itoth were eulogized by their champions. Other Senators second ed the nominations. Mentioning the fact that Mr. Clarke's term would expire in the next two years, his supporters made an appeal for his election on the ground that it would be of assistance to him in his race for re-election. They also urged the fact that Sena tor Hacon was in line for the cham pionship of the Committee on foreign relations as a reason why he should not be elected to preside over the Senate. The result of the election caused considerable stir, the friends of Sen ator Hacon feeling that he had not be*-n fairly treated. At tiie afternoon session Senator Smith tendered his resignation as a member of the steering committee, to which he had been appointed only Thursday Mr Smith, who had been espei talli zealous in his support of Senator Ibicon, said lie felt ills rol- 1 eague had been made to suffer on his ai i "lint He was Induced to with draw the resignation later, hut not until there had been a general dts- u*sion of the affair.

Without this help I believe I would break down. My duty to myself and to my family comes before any and all things else.

Where Economy Should Repin. I think we onght to set about de vising ways and means to economize wherever it is possible. The party has come into power after long years of exile under the banner of reform and reduction of expenditures. The people expect it of us, and there are many ways in which expenditures can be reduced. But senators and Con gressmen should set about this Im portant work ^>y beginning with themselves. I have a messenger on the present little committee I ^iave which never meets or has any business before it. I do not remember in all the years I have been its chairman since 1905 that it has never had a single bill to consider. My correspondence is very heavy and both of my stenographers are kept busy. I could get along without the messenger and the Re publican who gets thla committee The Oounti*yside for Miles Around Felt the Mighty Blast, and Tall Ruildings in the City of Baltimore Were Hocked as if by a Great Kart hquake. It is believed that at least fifty men have been killed and an equal number injured by the explosion of 3"" tons or more of dynamite that was being transferred to the steamer Alum Chine in the lower Haltimore harbor Friday morning. Many of the victims were members of cfi'ws of vessels that were anchor ed near the Chine when me dynamite intended for use in the Panama canal zone let go. Pp to mid-afternoon it had been possible to make up a definite death list. Of the victims four belonged to the crew of the Alum Chine and three were on board the L'nited States naval collier Jason. Twenty- nine other men on the collier aTM the greater part of the crew of the Alum Chine were Injured. The Jason was about 700 feet away at the time. She had just been completed by the Maryland Steel Company and was soon to have had her government trial trip. Six of the crew of the tug Atlantic lying alongside the Alum Chine were killed and the tug practically de stroyed. The latest reports place die number of dead at twenty and the injured at forty. Of the latter, ten of the Jaaon's people are said to be fatally hurt. Forty stevedores are unaccounted for. If they were on the steamer it Is considered certain that they per ished. The tremendous explosion shook the country tor miles around Win- dews were broken and chimneys knocked off houses a dozen or more miles from the scene of the disaster. At Sparrows Point a school house was partly destroyed and several . hiblren hurt Haltimore was shaken as if by an earthquake Tall buildings in the center of the city were rocked by the shock. Scores of vessels hurried to the explosion sc.-ne. Floating Yiodies were drawn from the wreckage and some of the injured were rescued from the debris.

H«d Not th© BUI. Been Puaed Ove¥ th© Governor's Veto th© Veterans Would Have Ix>st. The Spartanburg Journal aays if section forty of the State appropria tion bill, vetoed by Governor Blease, had not been passed over his veto the veterans of South Carolina could not have received any pensions this year and the interest on the State bonds could not have been paid. Sub sequently, however, the bill was pass ed over the veto, but the matter is not entirely cleared up yet. The section follows: "That in anticipation of the taxes hereinbefore levied, the governor and the Shite treasurer and the comptroller general he, and they are hereby empowered to borrow on credit of the State so much money L om Lire ’ • fme tm m bo i, •■.l - t to meet promptly at ini'tutity the in terest which will mature on the first day of July and on the first day of January of each year on the valid debt of the State and to pay the cur rent expenses of the State govern ment for the present fiscal year and for pensions; provided, the sum so borrowed shall not exceed the sum of $r,no.nfto.” Governor BlMae vetoed this bill ..nd then sent a special message mak ing known his intention of refusing to sign the notes jointly with the comptroller general and the State treasurer. The act does not say a majority must sign the notes, but says that all three must sign them. And hence if the Governor makes good his word, not to sign these notes with the Treasurer and the Comp troller General, It will not be pos sible for the veterans to get any money or for the interest on the bonds and would possibly make the sale of future bonds ipore difficult. The Governor g&rfc no reason for his opposition to the bill. It was ve toed so late in the seeslon that it could not have been amended and had to either be accepted or rejected The MU was accepted by two-thirds of both the House and Senate and re jeefed by the Governor ^lf the Governor consents to sign these notes with the Treasurer and the Tomptroller General, the veter ans will get their pensions as usual this year and interest on the bonds will he [iald. Otherwise, and Mr Blease has said he would not sign the Joint notes, there will be no pensions this year. GIVES JIS^ VIEWS SENATOR TILL1AN STANDS DP FOR R1S DIGITS RATTLE MONUMENTS DAMAGED.

An examination of the svrdem which obtained when I came to the Senate will show how the number of employees has increased. I know it is very difficult to have friends elatn- oring for places and then vote to cut out the number of positions, but we ought to be honest with the people and not give them lip service. We ought not to preach economy unle®« we are willing to practice it. and not make others practice it unless we practice It ourselves. I have thought it worth while to aay this much at the opening of this caucus and, being one of the three oldest Democrats in service in the Senate. I hope my motives will not be misunderstood or my purpose mis construed. Memorials on (Gettysburg Field Kear ns! by Unknown Vandal. Eight monuments on the Gettys burg battle ti.

ROBBERS TORTURE WOMAN. Tri«*d to Make Her Tell- Where Her Money Was Hidden. At New York robbers tortured Mrs. Harry Jacobs, wife of a postal clerk, by binding and gagylng her Thurs day night, and In her presence offer ed a sixteen-months-old baby a slice of bread spread with poison, because she would not reveal where she kept her money, according th the story she told the police. ‘‘Nod your head, if you will tell us,” one of the trio said to Mrs. Jaeobs, as he held the bread out to the child. The baby knocked it to the floor. They repeat ed the offer and the baby again re fused ♦he poison. Abandoning this effort the men searched the apart ments. A pocketbbok containing $23 was stolen. FIRST CAUCUS IS HELD c The Senior Senator Declares Himsei/ Entitled to the Chairmanship of the Appropriation Committee by the Rules and Custom of the Senate and He Should Have It. When the Democrats of the new Senate met in caucus Wednesday to elect a chairman, there was no oppo sition to Senator John W. Kern of Indiana as the new leader. Senator .Martin of Virginia, retiring Demo cratic leader, declared a few days ago he was glad to lay down the re sponsibilities of his offi-e. 1r « tirement ot .-icm-.jr Martin ml the candidacy of Senator Kern end a long struggle for control of the Senate of the Sixty-third congress be- ween the so-called progressive Denxx ocrats and the old conservatives, it was generally understood {here would be no move to disturb the old leaders in their committee assign ments. Immediately after the caucus as sembled, Mr. Kern Was unanimously chosen by acclamation. Senator New- lands of Nevada was chosen vics- chairman, and Senator Saulsbury of Delaware, "one of the newly elected members of the body, waa named as secretary of the caucus. The caucus took up committee as signments. The csucus authorised Senator Kegn to appoint a committee of nine to devise a plan for the re organization of the Senate com mitt- toes, with the understanding that he should present his list to the caucus at a meeting later. Senator Tillman made a etatement reviewing his political course since his entry into the Senate, explaining his views as to the principles of Sen ate organization, arguing for the basis of seniority, and expressing his personal preference for the chairman ship of the committee on appropria tions, to which, he said, he was en titled under all the rules heretofore governing and the custom of almost a century. In addition to the portion of hia remarks which he made public, cov ering four closely spaced typewrit ten pages. It was understood that Senator Tillman told the caucus he had consulted with President WUeoo as to the chairmanship that he should choose, and that Mr. Wilson had urg ed him to select appropriations. The statement also contained a strongly eulogistic reference to Mr. Bryan, now Secretary of State, and to the Senator’s friendship for him through thick and thin. Sena4or Tillman said President Wilson was heartily in favor of rigid economy, and that he was ready to back him in it. He Was given dose attention. Wh'-n it was suggested that Chair man Kern select the steering com mittee. subject to approval of the caucus. Senator Ashurst, of Arizona; Senator Owen of Oklahoma, and oth ers objected, declaring that in their fight for the reorganization of the Senate they had been contending for a principle and that they baa under stood that the steering committee was to be elected outright by the caucus. They declared that to let Senator Kern name the committee would be continuing the same system that prevailed when Senator Martin waa chairman. By a vote of 18 to 31, or there- at>out, the protest of the insurgent progreaeivea overruled. There Is a protest of some live Progressive bucking against the Kern “harmony program” before the matters are set tled. ATTACKED BY EAGLES. Fell Seventeen Stories. John Brunnon, a marble worker, fdl from the seventeenth floor of the municipal building at New York City to the bottom of an elevator shaft on Tuesday and treated his experience so lightly that those who %an to his djd found him rolling a cigarette and caeually inquiring if an ambulance could be summoned.

A letter from Rome to the London Express says a goatherd named Gio vanni Sanni narrowly escaped being kidnaped by two eagles while tend ing his flock in the Asta valley. De spite his resistance, the eagles, which swooped down on the astonished goatherd, lifted him in the air for a height of thirty feet. Then startled by the cries of their victim the eagles released their hold. Another goath erd found the injured man lying un conscious in a field. He is now In a hospital, in a semi-insane condition, and suffering from severe lacerations on the head and shoulders by the talons of the eagles, as well as from a fractured leg. » ■ —— Voted Against Governor’s Veto.
