By Wire lo the Morning Star. New York, Dec. 11 The legislative life insurance investigating commit tee headed by Senator Wililam Arm strong, appeared to hav succeeded in its attempt to make Thomas F. Ryan divulge what B. H. Harriman said or threatened to do to influence nim to divide his control of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, district At torney Wiliam T. Jerome who was asked by the committee to take steps to punish Mr. Ryan for refusing tf an swer the questions about Mr. Harri man reported to the committee today that he has informed Mr. Ryan s coun sel that Mr. Ryan ought to answer. Mr. Jerome also wrote to the commit tee that he believes Mr. Ryan will an swer if brought before the committee again. -' Mr. Hughes declined to say when Mr. Ryan will be recalled, but it is presumed he will take the stand to morrow or the following day. Subsequently, Guthrie, Cravath and Henderson, counsel for Mr. Ryan gave out a statement that they have advis ed Mr. Ryan that he should answer the questions and that he is prepared to do so whenever re-called by the in vestigating committee. To that state ment was attached a letter from Dis trict Attorney Jerome to Paul D. Cra vath. advising him that Mr. Ryan ought, to answer the questions and adding ' although I fully appreciate the motives which led him to refuse to answer until the question of law in volved could be made clear." The committee was engaged for a part of the time today in inquiring in to the affairs of the Provident Sav ings Life Assurance Society of New York. Edward W. Scott, president of that company, testified that Frank F. Hadley, of New Bedford, Mass., se cured control of the company in 1896, nnH hnrrnwAfl $1fi9 flftft from thft com pany on his collateral notes to pay for the stock. Hadley never repaid those loans, Scott said, and the insur ance company realized only $30,000 on the sale of the collateral. ' Resides the $162,000, Mr. Hadley borrowed $200,000 to pay for the as surance company's stock and had put up that stock as collateral. Mr. Scott testified that he bought that stock at auction after Mr. Hartley's death and borrowed the money to doit from the New York Security and Trust Com pany. Other witnesses have testified that the New York Life Insurance Compa ny controlled the New York Security and Trust Company. ' Mr. Scott' said John A. Horan, brother-in-law of John A.

DIRTY LINEN OF DEMOCRATS Harsh Criticism of Leader Wil liams by Florida and 'Mis souri Congressmen REPUBLICANS GREEDY FOR IT Tillman Brings on Spirited Debate in Senate Accused President Roose velt of White-Washing Bill to Correct Cotton Estimate. United States Supreme Court Reverses Alabama Case. By Wire to The Morning, Star Washington, Dec. 11. The Supreme Court of the United States to-day re versed the ruling of the circuit court of the Northern District of Alabama in the case of Thomas M. Riggins and remanded' the case to the Alabama court with direction to quash the writ of habeas corpus sued out , by Riggins and dismiss the petition for such a writ. This case presented the' broad question of the right of the negro to protection against lynching under the Federal constitution and laws, and thus involved the jurisdiction of the Federal courts in such cases. The court did not. however, enter upon these questions, but based its decision upon the technical ground that the proceeding by means of a writ of ha beas corpus wa3 irregular. Riggins is a white man, and was indicted by the grand jury of the circuit court for the Northern District of Alabama on the charge of conspiring with others to lynch a negro named. Maples at Huntsville, Ala., in September, 1904. After being taken into custody he presented a petition to the circuit court praying to be released on a writ of habeas corpus, contending that even if true tho offense charged was "no denial to Maples," a person of-African descent, by reason of his race of the right, privilege and immunity of a trial by jury to determine his guilt or innocence of the charge of murdet-." He broadly challenged the jurisdiction of the court and when his writ was re fused appealed the case to the Su preme Court. The opinionjn the case was by Chief Justice Fuller, who said, that Riggins should have awaited the final deter- mination of the case, and the-.proceed? . ed by means, of a writ of error. CAN REFUSE Tp SELL RETAILER Wins American l Tobacco Company Case in Brooklyn. . By Wire to the Morning Star. New York, Dec. 11. The right ot the American Tobacco Company to re fuse to sell to small retailers if they choose to do so was sustained by a decision rendered today by Justice Marean . in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn. E. Locker & Co., retailers, had brought a suit against the compa ny demanding $100,000 for i damage which, they alleged, had resulted from the American Tobacco Company's refusal, to do business with them. Ex-Judge Cohn, of counsel for the defense, asserted the right of the American Tobacco Company to control the supply of tobacco ami, then turn over the supply to a sales agenL . "The trouble with the plaintiffs," said Judge Cohn, "is that the tobacco company is a business and not a court of equity, and it bay become neces sary in business to kill your competi tor, financially,! mean.; That Is com petition. ' It is business and the busi' ness part of it, but' there is no cause of action that follows because I refuse So sell to a man because I do not like him or believe jnim "dishonest' or -dp not even like the color of Ms. hair." : After hearing arguments Justice Ma reaa ordered the .case dismissed. ' V By Wire to The Morr.Ujg Star Washington, Dec. 11. Mr. Williams, the minority leader of the House, "stepped on the lid" to-day just in time to prevent revelations in the nature of open criticism of the committee as signments of certain of his colleagues for which he is responsible. Mr, Payne, the Republican leader, naively suggested a way by which the revela tions might be made, but Mr. Williams assumed all responsibility and de clined to allow the washing of Demo cratic linen for the amusement of Re publicans." The incident followed the announcement of committees. Mr. Lamar, of Florida, submitted and had read a newspaper clipping purporting to quote Mr. Williams to the effect that Mr. Lamar, and Mr. Schackelford, of Missouri, had been left off the Inter-State and Foreign Commerce Committee because they had flailed to follow the Democratic caucus action ol last session on the railroad rate bill. Speaker Cannon sugested that the statement read did not constitute a question of personal privilege which entitled Mr. Lamar to the floor. "The gentleman might proceed by unanimous consent, suggested Mr. Payne. How much times does he want, an hour?" ' It was here tha Mr. Williams strode forward from his seat in the rear. He hailed the speaker with word and gesture and when he got his eye he reserved his right to object only long enough to make the state ment that "in the interest of Demo cratic harmony, effectiveness and of general good will, which will not bo promoted by washing Democratic Jin en for the amusement of the Republi cans of the House, I object." Immediately the situation became decidedly interesting. Mr. Lamar fac ed Mr. Williams who stood close to him and charged him with taking the matter into the newspapers. Mr. Shackelford was on his feet vainly demanding to ask c question and many Democrats applauded the stand taken by Mr. Williams Mr Lamar demand ed that Mr. Williams call a Democratic caucus to-morrow or alow him to pro ceed. Speaker Cannon wielded his gavel vigorously and declared everybody out of order, and in the midst of the con fusion recognized Mr. Payne for a mo tion to adjourn which was declared carried and the session was over until Wednesday. During the . confusion Mr. Lamar shouted: ""Mr. Speaker, he went to ! the newspapers with it and now he ob jects to consideration here. But 1 have got it before the House and the House will understand it" Before this incident the session had proceeded without a hitch. The unani mous consent necessary to increase the size of the larger committees had been given and in this manner the in creased membership of the House and increased Republican representation had been provided committee places. Th Democrats had lost no committee places, but had made a gain of one, all of which Mr. Williams had declared satisfactory to the minority. As an in dication of the intention to begin work at once, several of the committees gained permission to have printing done and to sit during the sessions lot the House. The session to-day last ed fifty-five minutes. Representative Adamson, of Georgia, a member of the Inter-State Commerce Committee, introduced a railroad rate bill to-day which provides for the fix ing of Inter-State rates for all common carriers by the Inter-State Commerce Commission. The bill includes ferries. private car and refrigerator lines un der the definition of common carriers. Representative Lovering, of Massa chusetts, introduced a resolution to-day directing the Secretary of Agriculture to "immediately collect such data as may in his opinion be necessary for a more correct estimate of the season's cotton crop and to publish the same on January 10, 1906, together with a fall and complete statement of the method by which the estimate is carried out and of the details of the various re ports composing said estimate." Representative Webb, of Nofth Caro lina, introduced a bill to-day provid ing for daily reports of the amount of cotton ginned for six days immediately preceeding the publication of the reg ular semi-annual reports. He also in troduced a bill providing for the issu ance of daily cotton reports in lieu of the . semi-monthly publications now made. The Senate. j -Washington, Dee. 11. The spirited ! debates on the subjects of railroad rate j legislation arising through the intro duction of a bill by Mr. Tillman to authorize the Inter-State Commei Commission to fix maximum rates, and the Panama canal4 due to a controver sy over the reference of the .emergency appropriation bill to a committee, in to-day's session of the Senate contin uously proved interesting for more than four hours. An adjournment was taken without mention of the late Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, aui so far the first time the leath of a member was -permitted to pass unnoted by the Senate. After more than a score of Senators had discussed the' Panama canal ' bill, it was reierred to the appropriations committee by a, vote of 40 to 23. -. f Mr. Tillman's bill provides for the amendment of the act to regulate inter State commerce by giving to the Inter State Commerce Commission the pow er to fix "a maximum reasonable rate" when it determines that an existing rate Is unjustor unreasonable. It pro vides ihat after the commission fixes such maximum rate it shall be the only legal rate that may be charged; ... Senator Tillman had the bill. read and said he thought it "got at the ker nel -of the' whole controversy "how be fore Congress." The bill was referred to. the Committee on Interstate Com merce. V'--'t-.--'':--'-' . Senator Foraker said. - he . believed the " bill introduced Is the best yet offered if the government is to go into the rate making business" at all for the reason , that it would do the least possible harm. "In saying, however," said the Senator, "I minimize the ne cessity of any legislation of that char acter because the bill is directed sole-. ly at excessive rates." x He said that this is not what the people are complaining of so much as it is rebates; that rebates pracqcauy have been discontinued and if they have not that it is agreed that the pre sent law is sufficient to reach this evil. The Senator from Ohio took the position that Mr. Tillman's bill recog nized the fact that the present laws are sufficient to reach rebates and in fact, everything but discriminating charges. I had supposed that the law was sufficient for that purpose," said Mr. Tillman, "but since the investigation of rebates begun by Mr. Judson and Mr. Harmon at the instigation of the executive came to such a miserable and pitable fiasco, I am getting rather shaky as to the sufficiency of that law. tl certainly will prove a failure until the President stops protecting cabinet officers and whitewashing them and until he does that, there never will be anything accomplished under the law." Senator Foraker declared that the Tillman bill and many others offered were unconstitutional and for the rea son that Congress had no right to delegate to a commission the right to regulate railroad rates. "Then the Supreme Court is wrong nn that, noint?" asked Senator Till man. - . Mr. Foraker declared that the Su preme Court had never expressed It self on this point in any of its decls ions. Mr. Bailey and Mr. Clay asked Mr. Foraker a number of questions on this point and. Mr. .Foraker "repeated his statement. After some further discussion of the legal question by Messrs. Culberson, KnoTt and Foraker. Mr. Tillman re ferred to the discussion he had pro voked. "With malico aforethought," said Mr. Spooner. "Well," answered Mr. Tillman, "I like to set you lawyers by the ears and then watch, you pull each other's wool," which ended a debate lasting an hour and a half. The Panama Canal bill was then laid before the Senate and the question of reference to the appropriations or canal committees was debated. In answering a question by Sena tor Bacon, of Georgia, as to whether the appropriations committee claimed jurisdiction only over deficiency ap propriations for the canal or over all future appropriations, Mr, Allison said he would frankly state that the Sun dry Civil Appropriation bill should In the future carry the regular canal ap propriations unles the rules should be amended. "It is good old Anglo-Saxon stealing land not graft," asserted Mr. Tillman, ; "to pay such high salaries as are paid to canal officials." He mentioned par ticularly the salary of $10,000 to the auditor. Mr. Allison declared that all these salaries should be fixed by statute "I hope the Senator will use his great Influence to see that this SHIP SINKING WITH 18 MEN ightship on Nantucket Shoals Probably Sunk in the Great Storm WIND BLEW SEVENTY MILES Last Wireless Message Was . That Ship Was Sinking, Hurry help Fears For Naval Vessel With Eighty Men. is done." rejoined Mr. Tillman. "There should be legislation and the steals stopped even, if the President has loan' ed the prestige of his great name to the existing conditions of affairs." The difficulty of legislating in regard ot salaries unless the officers for which the salaries are paid are designated by law was discussed by Mr. Bacon He said he did not see how Congress can fix the amount of salaries to be paid unless it undertakes "the hercu lean and impossible task of fixing tne salaries or each and every one composing the vast army of employes on the canal. Mr. Daniel spoke In favor of referr mg the bill to the Appropriations Committee, and Mr. Morgan took the view that it should go to the canal committee. He said that when he no ticed "the big guns" on the Republi can side turned loose on the bill there was something more Involved than a mere appropriation- He read the first session of the bill relating to the is suance of bonds for $130,000,000 and declared that the whole, intention of this section is to make these bonds bankable. "When this has been done there is nothing to prevent the Presi dent from turning his back upon Con gress," said Mr. Morgan. "He could say to Congress, "Don't need anymore appropriations from you. I have $130, 000,000 and that Is all I need." The bill was referred to the Com mittee on Appropriations. With further debate on the rate regulation question the Senate adjourned until to-morrow. ENGINEERS HAVE STRUCK. Men on Atlantic & Birmingham Rail road Want Mileage Pay. By Wire to The Morning Star. ' Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 11. Special dis patches from Brunswick and Way cross, Ga., say the engineers and fire men of the Atlantic and Birmingham railway, about 45 of each class; struck at midnight last night. The employes ask for a mileage pay instead of a per diem rate. As a result no freight trains have ben handled on the road today, but it is claimed by the manage ment that all pasenger trains have been moved on time, excepting one train which was abandoned at the starting point, Brunswick. The em ployes have offered to arbitrate their claims, but this had been refused by the management. General Manager Wadley says that he has a sufficient number of men coming to fill all va cancies. The road has a. mileage of 340 miles running at present from Brunswick -to Montezuma, with branch lines to Waycross from Nichols and Thomasville from Fitzgerald. NORTH CAROLINA CONGRESSMEN. By Wire to The Morning Star Newport. R. I., Dec. 11. A series of wireless messages received at the tor pedo station on Sunday direct from the foundering boat told an exciting story of the fight of the men of the lightship off Nantucket Shoals to keep afloat. The boat sprang a leak in the gale yesterday morning, and after her condition had been re ported as growing worse hourly there came a final message about 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, which indicated that hope had been nearly abandoned Lightship No. 58 went on the station last Tuesday as a relief vessel, pro visioned for six days. Its position, 50 miles off the Island of Nantucket, is one of the most exposed on the coast, and Sunday morning the wind was blowing 70 miles - an hour. Captain Jorgensen, who has had 10 years' ex perience on the shoals, is in charge With him are 18 men including offi cers. At 9 o'clock Sunday the wireless station at the torpedo station received a message to the effect that the ves sel had sprung a leak, that seas were breaking over her and that she was in great difficulties. It was asked that the lighthouse inspector at Boston be notified. This was done at once from the torpedo station. The next mes sage came at 1 o'clock that afternoon Send assistance soon," it said, "the leak has extended to the fire-room and the fires are out. The sea is running higher and the barometer is rising rapidly." The call for assistance could not be permitted to go unheeded, and Rear Admiral Thomas ordered the gunboat Hist made ready to put to sea, with Chief Boatswain Cooper in command of a crew of 90 men. Just at that time word was received from New Bedford that assitsance had been sent to the lightship from that port. This was! communicated to the struggling ere by wireless. "Water still gaining Send assist ance. We are helpless!" came by wireless to the station at 3 o'clock Sunday night After that hour many attempts were made to get some word from the ship, but without success. No News of Missing Ship. Newport, R. I., Dec. 11. The sus pense attending the outcome of the leak in the Nantucket South Shoal lightship and the absence of any news regarding the gunboat Wasp, whicW .left here a few hours before the storm on Sunday to succor the dibabled Brig Harry Smith, only 25 miles away, has made the day at the naval train ing and torpedo stations one of much anxiety. It was expected that the lightship would be heard from during the day, either by the return of one of the vessels which went to her aid or by wireless from a passing ocean liner, The only word, however, was a faint message at 2 A. M., at the lightship her self which read: "Nantucket Shoals Lightship In distress. Send help from anywhere." At dawn this morning three govern ment steamers were on the way to the station of the Nantucket lightship, the light house steamer Azalea, which started last night from New Bedford, the gunboat .Hist, which left here at 6 o'clock this morning and the revenue cutter Gresham, which left Boston late la,st night. None of these vessels had been heard from up to 10 o'clock to night. While the naval officials at the tor pedo station realized fully the serious ness of the accident to the lightship there was more anxiety at the train ing station regarding the whereabouts of the gunboat Wasp, which at dark tonight had been out 48 hours without being reported. The Wasp carried a crew of eighty men, was commanded by Chief Boatswain Hugh Sweeney, and was provisioned for three days. The storm was far more severe off shore and it is believed by the naval officials that the Wasp experienced something bordering on a hurricane and may have been driven far out to sea.
