ATTACKS CAUCUS ACTION The Caucus Decision Against Building Battleships Draws Severe Criticism from the Colonel. SHOULD NEXT VOTE TO ABANDON CANAL Insists Panama Rights Cannot Be Protected or Hawaii Protected if Decis ion Stands. V Oyster Bay, July 26. An attack on the democratic majority in the house for refusing to adopt a two battleship progress was " made today by Roose velt, who declared the upbuilding of the navy must go on if this country is to maintain its position among the nations. "When the democrats vote down battleships," he said, "If they are logical they should also vote to aban don the Panama canal. It Is an out rage from the standpoint of national Interest to go on with the Panama canal unless we both fortify it and keep up an adequate navy. Further more, any talk as to what we Intend to do about the Monroe doctrine, the Panama canal, the protection of Hawaii or any other matter Is not merely offensive but contemptible, If we abandon building up the navy and show that we have neither the power nor the will to make our words good by deeds." , CLASH IN HOUSE Rainey and AiiNtln Again Exchange Bitter Personalities over Water Power Question Washington, July 26. Renewal of the bitter Interchanges between Rep resentatives' Rainey of Illinois and Austin of Tennessee over the question "f water power sues legislation-marked the adoption by the house yester day of the conference report on a bill granting the Dixie Power company the right to construct a dam across the White river In Arkansas.

Mr. Rainey yesterday declared he was not opposed to the adoption of the conference report, but. he protested against such general legislation which he said "was sought by those seeking to grab valuable property from the government." Mr. Austin referred to Mr. Rainey as a "theorist and dream er,'' and as standing in the way of progress "until he could make up his private mind" as to what the govern ment policy should be. He arraigned Mr. Rainey for having Insinuated that he, together with Representatives Shackleford of Missouri. Padgett of Tennessee and Pepper of Iowa, were the creatures of the "water power trust" "Will the gentleman yield to me?" Inquired Mr. Rainey, rising. "No," snapped Mr. Austin. "No man who, on the floor of this house, accuses me of father! rig a steal can have any of ny time." Mr. Austin declared that the grant to private Interests of water power flies was the most advanced conserva tion of natural resources. Develop ment of water power, he asserted, would save hundreds of millions of tons of coal annually and break the grip of the "coal trust."

Baltimore, ltd,, July 26. The Maryland progressive republicans as sembled here In mass convention yes terday and selected 16 delegates to the national progressive convention at Chicago August 5. Resolutions were adopted empowering a committee of seven to select eight presidential elec tors Independent of those named on the regular Taft ticket and declaring that no elector now on the Taft tick et shall be placed on the progressive ticket unless he first resigns. The signirleanoe of this tatter cratise lies in the1 fact that six of the existing electors on the republican ticket are Roosevelt men. The opposition to the proposal for independent electors came mainly from western Maryland delegates, the republican stronghold of the state who contended that to cut loose en tirely from the republican -party would weaken the chances for success of their local candidates. They were outvoted, however, by the out-and-out third party men, who ware In a ma jority. Resides providing for the naming of independent electors the resolutions adopted denounced the action of the republican national committee for Its decisions In cases of contesting dele gations; vigorously attacked both of the old parties on the ground that they are "boss ridden, " and cannot give relief to the people, and declared that the great majority of republicans in the state, knowing that the laws of Maryland will not permit Theodore Roosevelt's name to be placed upon the ballot under a party designation containing the word republican, they are, nevertheless, willing to support him as their candidate for the presi dency without regard to the party name under which he may run. Dele gates to the Chicago convention arc Instructed to vote In national con vention on every ballot for Theodore Roosevelt for the nomination of pres ident.

Representative Small believes the majority of the democrats in caucus made a mistake in going on record as opposing the building of any more bat tleships this year. Mr. Small, how ever, will abide by the action of the caucus, but wants to be put on record as in favor of building at least on man of war for this session of congress. "I believe we have offended the pa triotic sentiment and the best intelli gence of the country," said the First district congressman. "Unless I am mistaken the people favor the main tenance of an adequate navy and this sentiment is expressed In our last na tional platform. The people have as sociated the continuous building of battleships with their conception of an adequate navy. During the Roose velt administration and the first two years of Tatt's administration, when our party was In a minority in the house, the bulk of the democrats voted for one battleship and In my opinion we should have maintained this atti tude at this session of congress while we are in the majority. Of course I will abide by the rule of the caucus, but as thin Is not a par tisan question I feel that I wish to go on record before the people In favor of one battleship as a part of our navl program for (he current year."

IMPORTANT EVIDENCE IN WHITMAN'S HANDS Investigation by Grand Jury of Police Relations with Gamblers Is Proving Satisfactory. New York, July 26. Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty prepared to give "the third degree" today to Frank Ciroiici, who, the commissioner says, is "Dago" Frank, one of the slayers of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal. Cl rotici waa arrested last night while smoking opium and was so befogged In mind that the police were unable to get anything out of him then. He admitted that he knew Harry Horo witz and Louts Rosenburg, both of whom are wanted In connection with the killing. The confession of William Shapiro, the driver of the murder car, has supplied District Attorney Whit man with many pieces of evidence. The investigation by the grand Jury into the relations between police and gamblers is proving more than satis factory. William Shapiro, chauffeur of the car used by the murderers in the Ro senthal murder, and Louis Lihby, part owner with Shapiro of the "murder car," were accepted as witnesses for the state late yesterday and furnished what Is believed tt be important new information. Other valuable facts in connection with the Rosenthal kill ing were furnished by John J. Hickey, an eye-witness of the shooting. While few details of what Shapiro and LlbbV told District Attorney Whit man during a long visit to his office were made public, II was admitted that they and particularly Shapiro, had given notable help to the state's case. Immediately after they had made their statements 50 subpoenas were issued for witnesses to appear at the grand Jury Investigation next week. Hickey, the new witness, told the district attorney he stood within three feet of Rosenthal when the fatal shots were fired. According to Hick ey, as Mr. Whitman outlined his story, four shots from as many differ ent revolvers were fired at the gam bler. Hickey told also, it was given out, that Rosenthal when he walked out of the Metropole cafe, was accom panied by several friends. He had not heen summoned, according to Hickey, and the party stopped at the newspaper counter, where Rosenthal bought seven or eight papers. These he distributed among the party. All were glancing over the news, Just outside, when the shots were fired. According to the district attorney, Hickey said he might be able to iden tify two of the men who had re volvers "Shapiro will render any assistance he can in the matter," stld Mr. Whit man, referring to the chauffeur's statement. "There Is absolutely no promise of Immunity to him. He was, according to hlB statement, wait ing about 15 minutes in front of the Metropole on the night of the homi cide. He saw one man go away In his car with a gun In his hand. He can not say whether the three men he took away are the same three men who came to the front of the cafe In the gray-colored car which he was trlvlng. "1 have absolutely punctured the alibis of "Brldgle" Weber and Harry Vallon. and from statements made to me, which will be repeated In the oroner s court, 1 will nave punciureu (he alibis of the other men now un der arrest." Shapiro, it Is understood, Is to ap- near at I witness for the state at the continued coroners Investlgntlon ann Is expected to ho the "star witness so far. Police Lieutenant Charles Recker whom Rosenthal had accused of be ing his partner in the gambling busi ness, was ready to appear as a volun- Cir witness before the grand Jury, but that body had adjourned before it was known he was to put in an ap pearance. It Is planned to call him Monday or Tuesday next. Frartk Murlto, described in a police circular recently Issued as Dago Frank, wanted ror murner in con-, nectlon with the killing of Rosenthal was brought to police headquarters late last night by department detec tives. He is one of the man declared hv the nollce to have been in the "murder car" on the night of shooting. the Suffragette Ijcadcr Arrested. Oxford, England, July 21.

EX-SENATOR BEVEHIDGE JOINS IKE NEW PARTY Former Indiana Senator Urges All Progressives to Rally to Movement. Chicago, July 26. Announcement of the selection of Albert J. Bever idge, former United States senator from Indiana, as temporary chairman of the national progressive conven tion to be held in Chicago August 5 was the chief development in political circles here yesterday. The announce ment was made by United States Sen ator Joseph M. Dixon of Montana, di rector of Col. Roosevelt's campaign for the progressive presidential nomi nation. At the same time a letter from Mr Beverldge to William Holton Bye of Indianapolis, was made public.

SCHEDULE FOLLOWS BOARD'S CONCLUSIONS And Is Almost Ind entical to the One Taft Vetoed Cotton Revision May Come. Washington, July 26. The senate's lunexpected passage of the LaFollette wool bill presents a situation upon which Majority Leader Underwood in the house thinks the two branches can agree. Underwood said today he thought there would be little difficulty in reaching a compromise. In that event, the bill almost Identical with the one Taft vetoed last August, again is likely to go to the White House within a few weeks. The former bill vetoed on the ground that the tariff hoard had not reported on its investi gation of schedule K. Leaders of both houses say the LaFollette bill follows the conclusions of the board quite closely. Underwood also sees a chance for cotton revision at this session of con gress. "I am going to have the ways and means committee consider the advis ability of calling up out1 cotton bill," he said. Washington, July 26. Ten progres sive republicans overthrew the regular republicans in the senate late last night and joined with the democrats is passing the LaFollette woolen tariff revision bill as a substitute for the democratic measure framed by the house of representatives. The LaFol lette bill was adopted by a vote of 38 to 27 less than two hours after the republican leaders had achieved what they believed was a victory when a compromise submitted by Senator Penrose was passed In the committee of the whole. The senate in the committee of the whole adopted by a vote of 34 to 32 a republican substitute for the demo cratic wool tariff bill against the united opposition of democratic mem bers. The measure would make mate rial reductions In the existing wool tariff. The bill was presented in committee after Senator Cummins' substitute bill had been defeated 57 to 14. It was brought up by Senator Penrose, who said it represented the views of the mnjoritv of the republicans As soon I aa t had been adopted the bill passed technically Into the senate, where Sen ator Cummins secured the adoption of an amendment for the creation of a permanent tariff commission. LaFollette Bill Introduced. Senator LaFollette then Introduced as a further amendment the wool tar iff bill which he attempted to have passed In 1911 and the senate began l another fight upon the wool schedule, Senator LaFollette claimed to have j the support of many democrats and the Insurgent republicans for his bill which threatened to displace the suc- cessful republican substitute. The republican substitute was sub mitted after the senate had been in session nearly seven hours. Senator Penrose explained It, a comparison of duties was given by Senator Smoot and with debate of less than three hours the new measure was adopted In place of the. democratic house bill. Republic:. n senators voting against the bill weie CUpp, Kenyon. and La Folb t'e Democrats charged that the repub lican leaders had been forced to bring forward their wool revision bill In order to prevent the adoption of the democratic bill with Its sweeping re duction In rates. Senator Penrose said I that he had had the substitute bill prepared In June but he did not be lieve there was any chance of Its pas sage In the senate and so he had not made It public before. On the first test vote that came after the LaFollete amendment had been laid before the senate the demo crats and progressives defeated Sena tor lxdge's amendment for tariff com mission by a vote of 35 to 21. Senator McCumher then offered an amendment for the repeal of the Can adian reciprocity law. The Cummins' substitute wool tariff bill which represented the views of many of the progressive senators was defeated by an overwhelming majority when It came to a vote. Practically all the progressives voted for It. The measure was defeated 67 to 14. All democrats and most of the re publicans voted against the Cummins' hill. The defeat of this substitute had been anticipated and the knowledge that a compromise measure had been prepared by the republican leaders, to be offered as soon as the Cummins bill was disposed of. aided In preventing the so-called regular republicans from supporting the Cummins' bill. Senator Penrose acting on behalf of the republican members of ths finance committee offered the republican sub stitute es soon as ths Cummins' amendment had been prepared by Senator Ltppltt of Rhode Island, ard which had heen circulated eai ly In the day among ths republican members both regular and progressive.
