A STORMY EPISODE
AT HOUSE SESSION
rnteata Against the Lork-
Doora and Defies the
Speaker
ATI.ANTA. Dec. 10.—Now that the
Jioure tins defeated the resolution In
troduced by Mr. Blalock of Fayette,
liavlng for Its purpose the ute of the
jmbllo property fund In paying the In
terest on the bonded debt of the stale,
scores of members of the general as
sembly are making gueas's. aa to whal
the governor will do when the bills
making appropriation, for several pur
poses are placed upon his dssk for con
sideration. The governor haa nil nlong
during the session of the legislature
glvm It out thit If the genersl assem
bly appropriates moro money than It
places at his disposal he will use tho
power of his veto. He made no effort
to conceal hla vlewe upon thla lino
and has said that he did not propose to
approve any measure calling (or an ap
propriation unless ths Meglsllurs fur
nished the funds to meet the demands
upon the treasury.
Ha Is now brought face to face with
this problem. The defeat of the Hla
lock resolution means that ths puhll
property fund cannot he used to pay
tho Intrrrm on the bonded debt of the
state, mill thnt the money raised by
taxation lo puy Interest must be ap-
plied lit that way. If the ltlalock res
olution hnd been pa»s.Kj tho public
property fund would have been imd to
pay the Interest fulling duo In January
and July of next year, amounting to
i,bout $100,000, leaving an unexpended
balance In the treasury fer thla fund
of about $120,000, and the money raised
by taxation to meet the Internet on the
bonds, could have been ueed to meet
the appropriations made liy the legis
lature. All ot these calculations have,
however, been knorked In the head by
the dereat of the resolution, and It la
now left to the governor to Solve the
problem of paying out money when
• there are no money."
The legislature has appropriate $20,-
000 for the mllltiry.$l$,(KX) for the malo-
teposes of the Soldier’s Home, and a
large number of appropriations have
been made for the payment ot pen
sions.
It Is believed thnt the governor will
be forced to use the knlfo quite freely
In cutting down Hist appropriation, and
may ito.albly call a meat axe Into ser
vlet before he solves the problem that
seems to be up to him. Governor Can-
dlrr Is not talking much about whtt ho
Intends doing but It Is sold that he Is
thinking lots, and may havo some loud
talk Inter on.
It Is known that he feels greatly dis
appointed at the notion of the house In
defeating the lilalock resolution, aa he
believed that the passage of this meas
ure would relieve the situation and
make the atate'e money matters mum
easier than they have been for a year
or more.
A prominent member of the legisla
ture said tonight that he would not be
surprised lo see ths governor call an
ATLANTA, Dec. 10.—There was a
rather stormy scene In the house this
afternoon when Mr. Franklin of Wash
ington refused to take his seat at the
command of Speaker Pro Tern. Morris,
who ordered the sergeant-at-artns to
■eat the gentleman.
The speaker had locked the doors to
keep a quorum when the Blalock bill
was up. That vote disclosed 102 mem
bers present. Mr. Franklin then very
vigorously protested against the speak
er arbitrarily locking the members In
when such a largo number were pres
ent, and far mare than a quorum.
Speaker Morris told Mr. Franklin to
sit down. The Intter Insisted on bis
point and waiUcd to know upon what
nuthority this was done. The speaker
again orderett him to'tnkc his seat. Mr.
Franklin Ignored him, all the time In-
alitlng on hls point of order. The speak
er rapped hla gavel and ordered the
■rrgeant-at-nrms to aedt the gentleman
from Washington. Two or three tlmetf
the speaker cnlled on the sergenat-nt-
ormi to perform hls duty. That 'officer
walked over to Mr. Friinktln. who'was
on tho opposite side of the house from
"I at near that of Mr. Knight; who
with others were near him. Mr. Frank
•In finally took hls stat. after being
urged to do so, but not until telling the
sergeant-at-arms that he did bo only to
keep him, tho sergeant-at- arms, out of
trouble.
Speaker Morris then explained he Ova*

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—After the
senate went Into executive session to
day Senator Ho'ar presented the re
port of the committee on the judiciary
recommending the confirmation of At
torney-Gonerat Knox. He made a bri
statement referring to the protests
against confirmation aa made by the
anti-truat league but said after giving
careful attention to thin representation
the committee had decided to reccm
mend confirmation. No opposition
voiced, but action on the nomination
wan postponed by common concent.
The senate then, before taking up
the Isthmian canal treaty proceeded to
pans upon the nominations, of which
there are an exceptionally large num
ber before the senate.
After a number of nomination* had
been confirmed, Senator Lodge called
up the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and
made a brief statement regarding that
convention. Tho senate then adjourned
In order to give the democratic caucus
committee an opportunity to hold a
meeting.
Mr. Lodge contended that the new
treaty docs away with the objectionable
features of the treaty of the last con
gress, and enumerated the particular*
in which the revised agreement con
forms to the action of the senate in the
last congress when the old treaty was
before it. He analyzed the new treaty
from beginning to end , showing that
In specific term* It abrogates the Clay-
ton-Bulwer treaty of 1850, which, he
said, had stood constantly In the way of
the construction of an Isthmian canal.
The abrogation of this treaty, he con
tended was a most Important achieve
ment, ar.d he did not boiieve that the
United State* should or would lose an
other oportunlty to make secure that
concession.
Senator Lodge also called attention
to tha omission In paragraph 1 of ar
ticle 8, of the worda 'in time of war
as in time of peace." He sold that In
the old treaty the paragraph read, "the
canal shall be free and open. In time
of war as In time of peace, to the ves
sels of commerce and of war or all
nations on term* of entire, equity." etc.
He argued that the omission of this
>hra*e hnd the effect practically of
eavlng the United 8tates to do with
tho canal in time of wnr according to
Its own good pleasure.
He also referred to the fact that rule
7 In the treaty of the powers regulating
the control of the Sue* canal, which
had been embodied In the original Hny-
nuncefote treaty, had been omitted In
the revlifcd treaty. He quoted this rule,
which provides that "no fortification*
shall be erected commanding the canal
or the waters adjacent, etc/.'- This he
said was a material concession to tho
United States and wan qulto sufficient
to meet the objections made agnlnsti
that agreement that the United States
would have no power to protect its
property. It practically left the United
States free to fortify the canal'in ease
it should be considered desirable to do
so and was In line with the omission
of the restriction referred to,.
The fact that the Invitation contained
In the old treaty to the various powers
to give their adherence to the agreement
had been eliminated from tho new con
vention. he said, was another compll
nnce with the action of the senate on
the orglnal treaty. There cojiceiulona.
Mr. Lodge said, were ample, and he
contended that they were of such a na
ture as to render the new treaty accept
able to all American citizen* who
wanted to see a canal Constructed.
Practically, he said. Groat Britain had
agreed to turn the entire management
of the canal over to the United States,
not only tn time of peace, but in time
of war, and no one could doubt that
tn case of hostilities the United States
would be at liberty to construe the
omission of the clause in rule 1 an hav
ing this effect.
Senator Culberson asked Mr. Lodge
If It was not true that article 8 of the
Clayton-Iiulwer. treaty establishing the
general principle of neutralization Is not
retained In the new agreement, but Mr.
Lodge replied that while there was a
