CARDINAL GIBBONS IS STRONGLY DENOUNCED
FOR DEFENDING KING LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM
Congressmen Tell
Tl BE TRIED
Responsibility For Riot
of Negro Troops To
Be Fixed.
Why They Wanted
Pay Raised.
Washington. Dec. 15.—A lively debate
preceded the defeat In the house of the
, nea «uie to Increase the pay of con
gressmen.
Immediately aft* r the legislative bill
had been reported to the house, Mr.
7jttanr introduced a resolution rais
ing the salaries of the speaker and
v j ( e pi evident to $12,000 He said that
► very * ne recognUed the dignity of the
pn*iti< n of the speaker.
Mi. Underwood said he was opposed
to increase for legislative and execu
te uiRidals all along* the line.
Gaines Had Heard Him.
•Did you not get up In this house
lirre awhile ago and ask for an In
crease for 1udges?” asked John Wes-
"I don’t know whether I did or not,”
*aid Mr. Underwood.
••Well I know, for I heard you say It.
I'd |ik** to ask the gentleman whether
he thinks any judge Is better than he
..r I?"
Mr. Underwood thought they were
better, hut Mr. Gaines replied, while
iiic numbers pounded their desks, that
h»* never saw a judge w ho was any bet
ter thiin he Is.
Littaur Offers Amendment.
Mr. Littaur then offered his amend
ment increasing the flay of the mem-
b rs of congress. It provided that the
increase should become effective March
4. 1907. Mr. Butler moved lo change
the datd to March 4. 1909. but at this
then* were murmurs of discontent. Mr.
Underwood made a bid for unjM>pu-
laritv by opposing the Increase, sug-
gfsting that tlte governor of Alabama
gets no more than $5,000 a year.
I am in favor of tills Increase,” said
Mr. Clark, of Florida. ”1 see around
me men who are leaving because the
c-.mpensntlon here Is Inadequate to
maintain themselves. They go rather
timn face jsiverty for their children and
want for themselves In their old ago.
I mme from a district that Is In favor
<-f decent pay. And every member on
this iloor admits, In private conversa
tion. that he is In favor of It, but can’t
vote for It.
Can't Bring Their Families.
•Many members can’t bring their
families here on the salary they re
ceive. I tell you 1 would not accept a
lonatorehlp If 1 had to remain away
from my family alx months of the year.
Many of the members here are voting
atrainst this measute and hoping to
CJ*mI it will pass."
The applause at the sally whs up
roarious and there were shoutfi of “Go
on! Go on!" Mr. Clark “went on” to
say h- hoped the members would have
the courage to put themselves on record
in favor of what they believed to be
right.
Why wait until 1909?" asked Mr.
Simms. ”\Ve shall have a Democratic
president then and the cost of living
will he so much chenper that we shall
not need an Increase."
lb* said the speaker’s Increase has
been fixed for 1907 nnd wanted to know
why the members should not get theirs
then.
Who Will Be Speaker?
"How do we know whether the pres
ent speaker will be speaker In 190T?”
asked Mr. Mann.
nil, that’s the greatest Joke 1 ever
heard of,” declared Mr. HImms, who 1
an ardent Tennessee Democrat. ’’U
i-'iirse he’ll be speaker."
Then John Wesley Gaines, who Intro
dm ml a bill the other day providing for
ju.»t such nn Increase as was contained
In ihr amendment, arose. There were
cries ,,f ’Speech! Speech!’ thumping
on desks and great applause.
"Koi years," he said, "our salaries
haw not been commensurate with the
duties of every-day life. I know that
I am worth more than $5,000 a year."
Tillman Has to Lecture.
After the laughter had subsided, he
continued:
Gf-.rge Washington asked that $25,-
f ' rf> he voted into Ills own pocket. Are
V Kieater than the ’Father of his
«'mntry?' it took h long time for the
merriment over this gibe to quiet down.
h did Mr. Gaines said Senator
n.lman had told him the day before
if he had to remain In congress
II d to live on his salary, and could
" • ture, he would starve, because
' T*!d not take care of his family.
"HI, who would have Senator Till-
mn «tarve?” asked Mr. Simms, and
ir ' Ar * "as more jtounding.

Cardinal Gibbous Says That
King Punished Offenders
When Told of Atroc
ities.
Baltimore. Md., Dec. 15.—The Hev.
Dr. H. Oration Guinness, of London,
founder and president of the London
Institute for the Training of Mission
arles, and one of the leaders of the
Congo reform movement, made an at
tack upon Cardinal Gibbons In an ad
dress at Brown Memorial Presbyte
rian church on ’’Congo Atrocities.”
After declaring that King Leopold
was having thousands of natives
slaughtered annually In order that he
might become more wealthy by the
rubber Industry, Dr. Guinness c rented
a sensation bv saying:
Other Pastors Protest.
The United States and Rntaln long
ere this would have gotten together
nnd put an end to the atrocities In the
Congo, but for one man In this coun-
The strong hand that has been
keeping this thing going Is none other
than that of Cardinal Gibbons Thai Is
the hand that supported Leopold In the
Congo.”
As soon as he recovered from his as
tonishment, Hev. J. T. Ftone, pastor of
the church, protested against the ut
terance quoted, as did a minister of an
other denomination who was present
The former suggested that Dr. Guin
ness meant to intimate that the cardi
nal was acting upon Improper Informa-
tion and the speaker would not seek to
convey the Impression that, did he
know the facts, the cardinal's attitude
would be the same.
Cardinal Brands 8tat«msnt. -
.'To this correction }Jr. Guinness Anal
ly assented, saying that It was his
opinion that Cardinal Gibbons, who
was a champion of the king of the
Belgians, did not know the truth and
was misinformed on the subject The
cardinal received information >nl>
from Brussels and was not permitted to
have the Information that would cause
him to take action other than that he
lias.
Cardinal Gibbon*, when t«K of the
statement by Dr. Guinness, said It was
not true that he was not Informed ujxm
the subject and added that It was more
than likely that ha knew fur more than
Dr. Guinness did.
8ays King Took Action.
The cardinal also said It was true
that there had been a number of atroc
ities In the Congo, that that country
was one of great area, but that King
Leopold was doing all he |>o*aibly could
to check the atrocities and to preserve
peace. He aaid the conditions at one
time were such that the Catholic mis
sionarles complained, but that vyhen
the complafnt was presented to the
king the matter was Investigated and
the conditions were speedily changed.
In conclusion he said:
”1 consider the agitation due to. two
things—the desire of a certafn nation
or nations to grab It and to religious
prejudice.”
The cardinal Intimated that he would
make further reply within a few days.

GEORGIA GATLING GUN

Special to The Georgian.
Macon. Ga., Dec. 16.—'The Gatling
gun, which was shipped by the state
December 2 from L'avannah for Ma
tron, to be used by the Second Georgia
regiment, ha* never arrived, and Colo-
ne| Walter A. Harris has sent out
tracers all oyer the country In search
of It. The gun has evidently been side

When It doe* arrive It will be turned

Trsss Cut From Street*.
Special to The Georgian.
Rome, Ga., Dec. 15.—The cutting
down of all the trees In the business
section of the city here has added much
to the appearance 0 f the streets.
Washington, Dec. 15.—At least two,
and possibly all, of the white commis
sioned officers of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry, who were on duty In connection
with the negro regiment at the time of
the rioting in Brownsville, Texas, last
August, are to be courtmartlaled.
By direction of the president, the sec
retary of war has ordered the trial by
a special court of Major Charles W.
Penrose, In command of the First bat?
talion, and Captain Edgar A. Macklln,
of Company C. that battalion.
Other Cates Are Expected.
It was remored today that when these
cases are well under way charges also
may be formally made against the of
ficers held responsible for the conduct
of the members of Company B, First
battalion, and Company D of the Sec
ond battalion.
The trial Is ordered under the sixty-
second article of war, on the ground
that the officers failed In their duty to
prevent and suppress the riot.
It appears certain that If either of
these two officers are found guilty all
of the others on duty with these two
battalions at Brownsville at the time
will be brought before n military court.
May Rescind Hie Order.
The requests for sn Investigation of
the responsibility of the commissioned
officers point out that they should have
known that such a large number as
fully a score of soldiers had left ths
reservation with their rifles, and that
they should have known the feeling
that existed between the negroes and
the people of Brownsville.
While the ordering of the courtmar-
tlal Is the latest development In the
case, the feeling Is developing in the
war department and at the capitol that
the president will either amend or
withdraw his order dishonorably dis
charging the three companies and for
ever barring them from the government
service In whatever capacity. In order
that any of those who can prove them
selves innocent may re-enllst.
