SENATOR TILIIM VAS REFUSED I — /' BEADS NAVAL AFFAIRS — Decides for the Sake of Party Har mony Not to Make Speech Before the Caucus as He Had Planned to Do or Take Matter to the Floor of Senate. The steering committee of the Sen ate denied Senator Tillman his right to head th$ appropriations commit tee, to which he was entitled under the rules that has governed the Sen ate for many years. Senator Tillman was made chairman of the "committea on naval affairs, which is one of the best in the Senate. The committee voted Wednesday to award the appropriations chair manship to Senator Martin, of Vir ginia, giving Senator Tillman the naval affairs chairmanship. When the South Carolina Senator heard this he "got busy", with the result that the "steering committee" agreed to reopen the matter, but the second decision was a repetition of the first. Senator Tillman decided, in the in terest of harmony, to tone down the bitter speech which he had contem plated making to,the caucus. He requested Senator E. I). Smith to read to the caucus a statement In ■which he gave restrain utterance to the feeling that he had been treated unjustly in order to advance the in terests of other*, and expressed his regret on account of his State; but with regard to persons, the TUlman statement merely compared the re>c- ords of himself and Senator Martin as to progrussiveneas, quoting an an ti-Wilson interview credited to Sena tor Martin during the Baltimore Convention Senator Martin made no reply in the caucus and would not comment after the Senate had ratified the cau cus assignments, except to say that he was gratified with the treatment which had been accorded him therein Senator F.liman made a motion In the caucus after his statement had been read ’hat his own name tie sub stituted for that of Senator Martin hi chairman of the committee on ap propriation* Tbl* motion was over whelmingly defeated anil only four Senators voting in Its favor They were Senator* Smith, of South Car olina Marline, of New Jeraey Shaf- roih of Colorado, and Bacon, of (ieorgia In the on of the Senate which followed Senator Tillman made a motion that the caui u* action tie rat Ifi**d and made the following expla nation indicative of mi'imisaion. but in.t of surrender WAS CARRIED OUT WUJ - ncm,TWI THIRD GREAT EVENT P£0PU ““ OBJECT TO NEILL ,,u,IDa “ * T0WC ^ SENATOR TIL1MAN DEMANDS F4LIR TREATMENT. He Will Make a Vigorous Protest Against Action of Steering Com mittee in Refusing Him His Rights. -Tie Washington correeondent of The News and Courier says it Is un derstood Friday night that the Dem ocratic "steering committee” of the Senate has finally agreed to recom mend to the caucus that Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, ranking Democratic member of the appropria tions committee, be denied his sen iority right to the chairmanship of that committee on the ground of his health, and Chat the chairmanship of this committee, considered the most important ip the Senate, be assigned to Senator Martin, of Virginia. This is the matter that has given the steering committee most trouble in the last few days, it having been practically admitted that Senator Simmons, of North CaroMna, would get the chairmanship of the finance committee, although a new commit tee on banking and currency wdll be created to take over some of the present functions of the finance com mittee. Senator/Tillman is very angry and is in characteristic fighting mood. He is expected to make a terrific speech before the Democratic caucus in pro test against the denial of his seniori ty right and denouncing those whom he considers responsible for it. Many of Senator Tillman's friends feel that the steering committee Is not dispos ed to treat him right, but they hope the caucus will.

ESCAPES DEATH \\\ MIRACLE. Steel IUm ket Blown Isto Fragment* But Alan Esca|M»d. At New York a steel rocket con taining Rodman Law. the "human fly", in which he intended to he shot T.'i'tO feet into the air, descend ing by a parachute, exploded Friday afternoon when son pounds of pow der behind it was fired. Law was hurled 2feet from his seat in the rocket but was unhurt. Protected by lidding and a hel met. Law crawled into the rocket with his parachute and gave the or der to fire. Tiie fuse was light and sputtered for 30 seconds. There was a terrific report. Hundreds of spec tators saw the rocket burst into frag ments. Law was hurled: violently to the ground. His hair and eyebrows were burned off. For ten seconds he was unconscious. Then he got up and looked. "Darn that thing," he exclaimed, "I thought I was going up.” Panic spread among the spectators after the explosion. It seemed incon ceivable that Law could have escaped being blown to bits and several wo men became hysterical. His miracul ous escape was explained by the fact that the head of the rocket, on which he stood shoulder high in a hollow extension, was made of an extra thickness of steel. The rest of the rocket, six feet in length and two and a half feet in diameter, was blown to atoms. Law walked unas sisted to a nearby house to have his burns dressed.

The Washington correspondent of The State says by far the most im portant feature of the new adminis tration policy which has yet been de veloped from a congressional stand point was the stand taken by Sena tors Overman and Tillman that they would not allow the nomination oU Charles P. Neill as commissione(^Of labor statistics to be confirmed. The question of Neill’s fitness or unfitness for the position is a minor one when placed beside with the real issue. Neill may have made unfair and unreliable reports concerning labor conditions in th«r South which displeased the two senators just named, and probably he did, which is the reason assigned by Senators Till man and Overthan for holding him up Behind the "holdup,” however, the fact stands out that hereafter Presi dent Wilson may find himself in em barrassing situations in such cases unless he first confers with Democra tic Senate leaders on the names of persons he proposed to send to con gress. That Mr Neill has given offense to many Southerners by the reports which he made of mill conditions and other forms of labor there is no doubt and that he probably will not be confirmed Is equally clear. But the real Issue is whether the senate will take cognisance of or confirm nominations even when sent In by a Democratic president unleea aenaters have been consulted beforehand re garding them Senatorial dignity must not b« un derestimated they aay Though ll Is a Democratic administration through and through, from the White House to congress and In every department of this great nation of 100.009.000 people, and every branch of the aer- * tee Is pulling together for the coun try s good, the senate must not be oxerloo k ed Before President Wilson asks that body to confirm hla nomination he should ask senators If such nomina tions are agreeable Otherwise there may be embarrassing situations As HHOT TO DEATH B TA HAH 1 KILLS HIMSELF. m e> Doable Tragedy Follows Altar Young Lady Refaaea to Make With Him.

His vitrolic tongue Is greatly feared by his colleagues and there is no teH- ^ng what he will say If driven to the wall. It seems to be agreed that Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, will be recommended for the chairmanship of the tariff section of the finance committee. The outlook now la that Senator E. D.

There are indica tions that the- avalanche in the sen ate is going further than was in tended and is giving its own pro moters serious trouble and alarming the "harmonizers”.
