PROGRESS BEING MADE
To Disclose Information Gathered by
Governmen, Etxecutive Thinks,
Might Interfere With
Customs Cases.
Washington, April 10. Two White
House conferences recently made it
evident that President Tuft Is satis-
lied with the progress that is being
made In the prosecution of the sugar
trust for alleged customs frauds. The
administration will not yield to the
agitation among the democrats of the
house for a congressional investiga
tion, as the , resident Is convinced it
would be inexpedient to give publicity
to the government's information at
this time. There is no method by
which congress can get this Informa
tion, which Is now In the hands of the
department of Justice, except by the
consent of the president.
Representative Hill of Connectieut,
chairman of the committee on ex
penditures In the treasury depart
ment, was alone with the president
at the first conference. Before Mr.
Tftll's committee is a resolution, sub
mitted by Representative Fltigerald
of New York, requesting the president
to Inform the house "what facts, if
any, now exist which make Inexpe
dient a thorough examination at this
time by the house of representatives
of the frauds In the customs service,
mentioned by the president in his an
nual message to the congress at this
session."
Inquiry Would Block Plans.
Chairman Hill, at the conference,
was informed that a congressional In
quiry at this time would effectively
block the plans of foe administration
for the successful prosecution of the
"sugar scandal" cases. Then Mr. Hill
returned to the capttol and called a
meeting of his committee. Accord
ing to the Informal plans of the com
mittee last night, the Fitzgerald reso
lution will be reported to the house
with one amendment. ThlB will In
sert the clause, "if not Incompatible
with the public interest"
The conference between the presi
dent and Mr. Hill took place in the
morning. Meantime, Henry L. Stim
son, In charge of the sugar prosecu
tions at New York, and Collector Loeb
of New York, had arrived In Washing
ton. In the afternoon they went to
the White House. Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh, Assistant Secre
tary Curtis, and Attorney General
Wickersham also were there.
When the conference adjourned the
following statement was given out:
Were Summoned Here.
"Mr. Stlmson, who has charge of
the prosecutions of the customs frauds
In the weigher's department in New
York, and Mr. Loeb. the collector or
the Dort. were snmmonea to vybhh
nrton for the purpose of conferring
mith tho nresident. the secretary or
the treasury, the attorney general,
and Mr. Curtis, the assistant secretary
of the treasury in charge of customs
with reference to the progress of the
investigation into the customs frauds
and their prosecution.
The conference related not only to
the criminal prosecution and invest!
gation before the grand Jury, but also
to the executive Inspection which has
been conducted by the treasury de
partment and general subjects devel
oped as a result of the Investigation.
The conference disclosed the fact that
the criminal prosecutions were being
vlcnrouslv conducted, and that tne
examinations by the treasury depart
ment were making satisfactory head

Jackson, Miss., April 15. United
State Senator Leroy Percy will address
the joint session of the Mississippi

of confidence from members, declar-
ng that If the body believes his com
mission is tainted by fraud or cor
ruption he will at once resign.
Policeman Sent to Keep Peace.
Policemen were sent to the senate
and house today to prevent a renewal
of hostilities between Dr. Dunbar
Rowland, a director of the depart
ment of archives, and Captain Prank
Burkett, a member of the house.
The authorities have received in
formation that Dr. Rowland had re
newed threats to have revenge for
the attack made on him several days
ago by Captain Burkett, and that he
intended to wipe out with blood.
President Pro Tern. Hebron, who
led the march of insurgents from the
senate chamber last night, when a
resolution denouncing Bilbo was of
fered, announced today that he did
not intend to resign permanently as
presiding officer. He resumed the
chair today. Senator Bilbo declares
he has no intention of resigning.
Bilbo Sustained anil Asked to Quit.
Concluding their afternoon session
with the adoption of a resolution sus
taining State Senator Theo. Bilbo by A
margin of one vote, the Mississippi
senate late last night adopted another
resolution demanding that Bilbo ten
der his resignation and bitterly criti
cising his actions In connection with
his charge of irregularities during tho
recent senatorial contest.
The resolution declared that Bilbo,
atlhough acting In the role of promi
nent friend of former Governor Var-
daman failed to disclose his evidence
until after the senatorial nomination,
which conduct, the resolution de
clares, "Is utterly unexplained and ab
solutely Incredible."
The resolution then attacks the
credibility and character of Senator
Bilbo; condemns his charge and state-
men that he acted In the role of de
tective as untrue. Concluding, It de
clares Bilbo unfit to retain his mem
bership in the Mississippi legislature.
With the introduction of the reso
lution, broke the storm. Senator He
bron, president pro tem. of the senate
and an ardent supporter of Varda
man in the senatorial contest, left the
chair, surrendering the gavel to Sen
ator McLaurlu, and joined a group of
adherents of Mr. Vardaman who were
forming to march from the chamber
in a body.
The entire number withdrew and
by a vote of 25 to 1 the resolution
declaring It the sense of the senate
that the senatorial contest was with
out improper influence; that the elec
tion of Senator Percy was free from
fraud or corruption and expressing
confidence in the Uniter States sen
ator was adopted.
Immediately attention was diverted
to the consideration of routine affair,
and before Senator Bilbo had an op
portunity to speak on a queetlon of
personal privilege which he announc
ed was his Intention, the senate ad
journed. Senator Bilbo would make
no statement last night as to his in
tention with regard to the resolution.
The vote sustaining Bilbo came af
ter an extended afternoon session of
the upper branch of the assembly
which for the past several weeks has
been investigating the charge of Bilbo
that he was offered a sum of money
by L. C. Dulaney, a prominent plant
er and supporter of the successful
candidate, Leroy Percy. The vote
was strictly along partisan lines, prac
tically all of the Vardaman adher
ents In the senate voting to sustain
Bilbo.
