In a 16 jnige pamphlet bearing the title "Refu tation of the Statements of President Taft" received here today from Brus sels, Jose Santo3 Zelaya, exiled former president of Nicaragua, indulges in bitter denunciation 'of President Taft and this government's policy of ag gression in Latin America. He brands President Taft as a slan derer; accuses the United States gov ernment of having "shametesSly aided the rebellion," in Nicaragua, of having brought consciences"- to further its sgheme of aggrandizement and warns Latin-Americans that the purpose of the Taft administration is to seize the Central American. Republics. The pamphlet has been widely distributed.' Zelaya's attack upon the Taft- ad minstration was called forth by what he terms "unjust accusations, full of bitterness against me," contained in the President's annual message to Congress in December. In that message President Taft re ferred to Zelaya "as the disturber of Central America," said the people of Nicaragua were finally driven into rebellion by his lawless exactions and that Zelaya violated the laws of war fare by the "unwarranted execution of two Americans citizens who had regularly enlisted in the ranks of the revolutionists." Zelaya discusses our "interference' in Cuba, Santo Domingo, Panama, etc., and declares that the conduct of the United States has given "a solemn denial to this .candid allusion": the Monroe Doctrine. In place t pf r the Monroe Doctrine, ne says, theTUnited States government has adopted . the policy of America for the Yankees Referring to the recent Nicaragua resolution, which finally brought about the downfall, Zelaya Bays: "The United States government shameless ly aided the rebellion; it tooknhe part of the rebels against my government; it bought conscience, promising the intriguants to give them the country in return for concessions ruinous to the latter.- "The battle was inequal and my withdrawal from power,, of which President Taft gives a false explana tion, only took place when I had ac quired the conviction that it Was-jm possible to undo the web of treason and small villainies of which the Unit ed States government ihad plotted for misfortune of our unhappy country.

Washington, March 1. WiHiam Lorimer retains His seat .in the United States Senate. By a vote of 46 to 40 that body today defeated the resolu tion introduced by Senator Beveridge declaring the junior senator from Illi nois had not legally been e!r3Cted. The end to the case that for so many months had been before ' the Senate and which had provoked one of the most bitter fights in that body for years a fight in which the person al equation served to heighten and in tensify the feeling came shortly af ter 1:30 o'clock. Promptly, at that hour the Vice President brought his gavel down sharply upon his desk and called for a vote on the resolution. The agreement entered into by the members yesterday called for the shutting off of all debate at that hour and the settlement of the issue by a vote. Senator LaFollette had the floor at the time and the rap of the gavel forced him to an abrupt termination of his antl-Lorimer speech. The ayes and noes were sounded and the crowded floor and galleries followed the roll call with interest most in tense. Upon the conclusion of the roll call and the announcement of the result, applause ". was .. heard in the galleries while on he floor Senator Lorimer s friends -hastened to. tender their con gratulations.

The vote of Senator Cullom, Mr Lorimer's colleague from Illinois, was awaited with great interest. Both sides had claimed him. He voted for Lorimer. While no pairs were announced, Senator Aldrich was paired on other questions with Senator Terrell, both being absent on account of illness. Senator Taliaferro's silence may sig nify a pair with Senator Frazier, whp was absent n account of the death of his mother. Mr. Taliaferro had been understood to be pro-Lorimer. The position of Senators Frazier ana lerreii, wno were aosent were announced as both anti-Lorimer. . There is a general understanding that Senator Aldrich would have fa yored Lorimer. Nothing was stated on the floor regarding his attitude Tb3 scene when 'lhe vote was taken was one of the most intense, but' sur Dressed excitement. Not until Sena tor Wetmore, next to the last name on the list had voted, was the 46 pro Lorimer total complete.

"The resolution is lost," announced the Vice President, and instantly the Senate Was in an uproar of people leaving the galleries and the floor. It was some minutes before the Senate could resume Its proceedings. - Preceding the taking of the vote on the resolution speeches were made by-Senators Owen, Smith, "of Michi ean. and LaFollette all in opposition to.

Western Trunk Lines Will Abide by. the Rate Decision. Chicago, March 1. Thirty-five West ern Railroads decided today to make no appeal from Xhs recent decision or the Inter-State Commerce Commission forbidding the roads o increase freight rates. They will accept the decree of the commission as final. The decision was reached at a meet ing today of representatives of .the roads at the Western Trunk Line As sociation headquarters here. The opinion was advanced by many that the roadla would be unable to mane any stronger showing before the new. Commerce Court than they had before the commission, and that once the new court had ruled, its decree would be binding for two years. It also was argued that if the roads comply with the decree without objec tion and withdraw the advanced tar iffs before March 10, there will be an opportunity at a later date to submit adyances on certain rates, some or which may meet with- favor.

Bijou to Shifting of Control of , Tariff Board Bill by Lodge Created Stir WAS CLEVER BIT OF HAZING Motion to Rc-Commit the Measure Was Lost Beveridger Placed in . "Control : Through Conspir acyLong 'Session. Washington, March 1. When Sen ator Beveridge moved at tonight's session of the Senate to proceed with consideration of the bill to create permanent tariff board, thus indi cating that control of the measure had passed from Senator Lodge, the member of the Finance -Committee, who reported it, to a senator who is not on the committee, there followed as clever a bit of hazing as was ever witnessed in he Senate. Beginning with- some facititous omments by Senator IStone, of Mis souri, the situation became serious when Senator MQney, of Mississippi, demanded an explanation. Final ly he moved to re-commit the bill to the Committee on Finance in the nope, as' he said, of clarifying the situation. This motion failed by a vote of '2 to 51. Senator Lodge, with some show of reluctance, finally confessed that the surrendering of the conduct of the bill to Senator Beveridge had been a part of the agreement yesterday by which the Senate, fixed a time to vote on the Lorimer case and made the tariff bpard bill the unfinished busi ness. According to Mr. Stone it has been uniform and unbroken practice of the Senate that when a bill is reported from a committee some memBer of that committee shall take charge of it .He calld attention -to the fact -that the matter had been reported by Sen ator Lodge, who had suddenly disap peared willingly or-AUMvillingly.,. He declared that whert. the bill was ; given to him to report it was his right and duty to maintain charge of it. Final ly, Mr. Stone addressed Mr. Hale, of Maine, and asked him if he could solve the riddle. '"I am in a condition of. surprise," said Mr. Hale. "I supposed that the senator from Massachusetts was in charge of the bill and I should like to know by what process of leger de ma he was ousted from the control and management of it." Continuing, Mr. Hale said that he didn't think even his "modest friend from Indiana would assume to take the leadership." Predicting in this vein, Mr. Hale kept the Senate convulse'd with laugh ter while Senators Beveridge and Lodge remained in their .seats evi dently much embarrassed. "I would like to know," -asked Mr. Owen, "whether this interesting col loquy is a conspiracy?" "It is a conspiracy that results from two serious and honest minds run ning in the same direction," respond ed Mr. Hale. "Isn't' it An attempt to uncover a conspiracy?" asked Mr. Money. Mr. Hale again asked by what transformation Senator Lodge had been ousted. He 'wanted to . know if the senator from Massachusetts had been left dangling in the air. If he has, the senator said, then the senator from Indiana is the proper man perhaps, to take charge of this measure. "Is this bill a founding, which had no one to care for it, and was it at last laid at the door steps of the sen ator from Indiana?" asked Mr. HaleJ "This bill came from the House. Its paternity is of unquestioned re spectability,"' declared Senator Ow en. , Senator Money, declared the pro ceeding was, most disorderly and that there had been some irregularity, .which he could not understand, by whjh the bill had passed from the control of a member of the Commit tee on Finance to the possession of the 'chairman of the Committee on Territories. . He demanded to 'know whether the transfer was by( agree ment. "It is not a laughing matter," said Senator Money. "Facetiousness is one of the vices of this age. Some people can't talk upon a question without trying to be funny." . Up to thltime tontinuous laugh ter nau greeted., tne ainerent speaK ers, but atTthe -admonition of Mr. Money the- risibilities of senators were curbed. He expressed the opin ion that the transfer of the manage ment of the tariff board bill could not be explained. He called upon Sena tor Beveridge. "For four years I have been try ing to secure the enactment -of a measure such as this," explained Senator .Eeveridge. He spoke with considerable emotion, saying that he had taken charge of the measure on ly after Senator Lodge had agreed to that course.' v "No authority exists oh that side of the House for ihe' transfer of the con duct of this . bill to a - senator not a member of the committee which gavej ' s r' (Continued xn Page Eight.) ; Amendment to Cut Forestry Appropriation from Five to One Million SENATE VOTES AGAINST IT Friends of the Forest Service Stirred. Tried to Kill Settled Policy of, Government Charges. Features. , Washington, March 1. Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, tonight made a futile .attempt to reduce the annual expenditures for the maintenance of National Forest reserves from more than $5,000,000 to $1,000,000 by the introduction of an amendment to the Agricultural bill and brought down upon his head the wrath of friends of the forest service, whjj declared he was trying to kill a settled policy of the government. The question . arose in connection wifc the consideration of the agricul tural appropriation bill. The amend ment was defeated 19 to 50. Several senators said that they thought the forest service was too costly and that the appropriations ought to be reduced, but that the amendment offered by Mr. Heyburn went too far. During his general criticism of the forest service, Mr. Heyburn said in one way and another Congress is ap propriating almost $8,000,000 annually for the protection of the forests. He charged the foresters with using the reserves for their, own benefit. He al leged that they profit by collecting bounties for killing ' wild animals. They create the reserves, prevent others from hunting, kill the game themselves and then collect from the State. They have a private snap," he said. . ' Senator Clark, of Wyoming, - de- nolmeed:heforestry system' in warat terms, and in "doing so . warned the Eastern senators that the time would come when' they would Tue the day that .they had procured -c&e establish ment of reserves in the White Moun tains' and the Southern Appalachians. Mr. Overman, of North Carolina, made, some inquiries concerning the National nurseries. Replying, Sena tor Nelson undertook to tell about the forestry nurseries in Alaska and elici ted a loud burst of laughter by relat ing that when he was a boy he had worked in a nursery, "where," he said we did a little grafting." In the same connection, Mr. Hey burn said that the tree seeds used in the nurseries were obtained largely through robbing the nests of squir rels. He said that he knew of 45 bushels gathered from that source. Speaking of the foresters, Mr. Hey burn declared thai; they were recruit ed from the Eastern States. They are suckers, grafters," he said, and defining the grafters added: "The grafter is not the man who pokes his hand into a till and takes out what he gets ihold of; he is the man who attaches himself to some other man's property, and draws it away from him." After the defeat of the amendment proposing to decrease the appropria tion for forest preservation, Mr. Hey- aurn offered another proposition to prohibit the expenditure of any part of. the Forest Service appropriation upon" forests growirfg less than 4,000 feet, board measure, of merchantable lumber per acre in contiguous areas of 160 acres. He said that the effect of " the amendment .would be to ellml nate more than onefeird of the for est reserves. The committee of the whole finally accepted the amend ment. The agricultural appropriation bill passed without a roll call. GREENE AND GAYNOR HELD. Remain din Atlanta Penitentiary Men Ask Release. Atlanta, Ga., March 1.

Senator Baggett got in a substitute to substitute requiring pulling mile age on trains.
