WE CAN’T LIVE 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.

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.

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.
