PRESIDENT'S MOVE

(Special Correspondent of The Citleen)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. "What
III be the after-effects of the j pre
cedent now, being established by Pres
ident Roosevelt, in having hts attor
ney general proceed' against newspa
ptti that have adversely criticised
the Republican, administration?"
This question is being discussed in
many quarters In the national capital.
Not only democrats are aroused on
this subject. Many republicans who
do not coincide with all of the pres
ident's policies are frequently seen
gathered In groups in the' lobby of
seme hotel, or In the smoking or Com
mittee rooms of the house, exchang
ing views on the Roosevelt's newest
enterprise. In private conversation
no small number of the national
law makers have hesitated to disagree
with the strenuous one's aotion.
As to Precedent.
"As to the merits or demerits of
the case the president has seized upon
to establish a precedent. I have noth
ing to say," with a colleague. "What
I object to Is the president's action
In setting ah example for Other presl
d nt's to follow. The principle of
freedom of speech Is involved. Evils
such as may follow the action of the
piident sometimes have small be
ginning. For instance a succeeding
president may use the government
machinery against some newspaper,
when tfeat president had a little less
cause for doing It 4han Mr. Roosevelt
had. But that president may say:
"I am only following the? precedent
safe by President Roosevelt. .'The same
thing ras been "done before.'1 Each
pnsldent could order his attorney
general to proceed against soma or
gan that had criticised his adminis
tration. Each one could do so on
Just a little less Justifiable grounds,
a' ways pointing to a preceedtng case,
in; 1 1 taking the position he Is justi
fied In his action by precedents."
1 is being recalled that wfcthin the
last two years repunliean leaders in-.ttf-duced
bills, which, had they be
come laws, would have effected free
speech and placed in the hands of
the postmaster general the power to
Imve barred newspapers practically
nt his discretion.
In the llrnt session of the Sixtieth
congress Henntor Role Penrose, re
publican, of Pennsylvania, introduced
the following bill, which is self-explanatory:
"Be It enacted by the senate and
hot se of representative of the United
Sli.les of America in congress assem
bled, that section thirty-eight hun-j
dix.; and ninety three hf the Revised
Stotutes be. and the same is hereby,
ai:. ended by adding 'And where any
issue of any periodical has been de
clared nonmailable by the post-office
department the periodical may be ex
cluded from second-class mall priv
eleges at the discretion of the post
master general"

DENOUNCES TIRADE
AGAINST. PRESIDENT
Committee Draws Distmc
tion Between "Impeach
ment" and "Criticism."
(By Assoclsted Press )
WASHINGTON, Jan. J 7. The house.
with hut a few faint "nays," today
adopted the report of t(ie special com
mittee on the'Willett speech.
Representative Mann of Illinois,
chairman of the special committee,
presented the report, which, rfe said,
represented tho unanimous opinion of
that committee. After the report had
been read. Mr. Mann offered to yield
time to any member wishing to ais.
eiiKS the reoort. but as none evinced
a desire to do so, th solution strik
ing out the speech was passed un
hardly a dissenting voice. "
Declaring that "the consideration
of the speech In question Involves a
consideration of what is and what Is
not orderly debate in the house." the
committee's report defines the privi
leges of members of the house and the
limitations of debate. It discusses at
length the relationship of the two
houses of congress and the relations
which must be maintained between
the house of representatives and the
president, in accordance with the con
stitute.
''Personal Criticism."
The report declares that it would
seem that' the "peculiar constitutional
duties of the house In relation to the
power of Impeaching the president do
not preclude a clear line of distinc
tion between that criticism of acts
and conduct necessary for perform
ance of the constitutional duties of
the house, and a criticism merely, per.
sonal nt Irritating." It also claims
that it Is especially tho duty of the
house Itself to protect the president
from that personal abuse. Innuendo
or ridicule tending to excite disorder
n the house itself and to create a
personal antagonism on the part of
the president toward the house, and
which is not related to the power of
the house under the constitution to
examine into the acts and conduct of
the president.
"Yottr committee has carefully
considered the remarks of the gentle
man from New York," continues the
report, "and find that his remarks
concerning the president are not Justi
fied by any consideration .of the con
stitutional duties or powers of the
house; that they transcend proper
limits of criticism in debate: that
they are destructive of that courtesy,
respect and dignity which ought to be
preserved, and that they ought not
to remain in the permanent official
record of the proceedings of the
house."
I Objectionable Remark.
The committee claimed that it was
impossible to separate the objection
able remarks from the remainder of
the speech, and that the only way to
eliminate the remarks considered out
of order would be to strike out the
entire speech. It cited as a precedent
for sich action by the house the
speech of Robert P. Kennedy of Ohio,
attacking the senate, made in the
house on September 3, 1890, which
was excluded from the permanent
record.
In his letter to the committee Mr.
Wlllett claims that he did not trans
cend the rules of the house, but that
he was entirely within his rights to
make the speech under the order of
general debate. "I-'reedom of speech
has always been held so sacred," he
declares, "that the utmost latitude has
been allowed in debate, and I re
spectfully submit that to strike my
speech from the record In this In
stance will establish a precedent ex
tremely dangerous."
The resolution recommended by
the special committee for adoption b
the house reads: ,
"Resolved, That the speech of Mr.
WiHett, printed in the dally Congres
sional Record of January IS. 191S.
contains language Improper and In vi
olation of the privileges of debate, and
that the same be stricken from the
permanent record." '
the great and humble, and poor act
resses, of whom he was the benefac
tor." ' The funeral of Coquelin will b
held January It.
The death of it. Coquelin is an In
calculable loss to the French stage.
Only a few days ago H. Rostand, who
recently has .been giving the finishing
touches to "The Canticler," arrived
in Paris from Cam bo, and he was
ready to begin the rehearsals of the
play In which M. Coquelin. who bad
the leading role, was expected to du
plicate his famous success obtained lit
M. Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergera."
M. Coquelin succumbed suddenly at
midnight to aa acute attack of sbb-bollsm.

RALEIGH, Jan. 27. Subsection
'A " of the famous "teeth" of the
state anti-trust legislation was under
(lis for an hour before th senate
udlelary committee while, the com
mittee was hearing a delegation from
Wilson presented by Senator Dunes,
of the Wilson district.
In presenting the delegation and
later in closing the discussion, Sen
alt r Dawes declared that what the
pet pie of his section want is to Te
let alone at this time and be allowed
o re-establish themselves In a busi
ness way, and that they feel that no
good purpose could be attained at this
ima by driving the American Tobac-
o company from the state as tflls
bill for sub-section "A" would cer
tainly do. T. M. Washington Vind
S. W, Smith, headed the Wilson dele
gation and were the principal speak
ers During the hearing, complaint
wis made thatt his bill, aimed,- as
tli charged, directly as the American
Tobacco company, should have been
ntroduced by a senator (Lockhardt)
from a county in no way interested
n the manufacture or cultivation of
tho tobacco.
Eight Per Cent Interest
The bill by Senator Ray to permit
eight per cent Interest in North Car
olina when the parties especially con
tracted for that rate gave rise to a
Itily discussion before this commit
tee, before the committee finally vot
ed 10 to 3 for an unfavorable report.
Senator Kluttx, Senator Lockhardt
and Senator Fry advocated the bill.
claiming that it would bring a great
deal of money into the state and stop
a lot of that was now leaving the
ststc. Senator Kluttz claimed thai big
Nctth Carolina insurance companies
are sending money out of the state
for Investment on this account. Sen
ator Fry and Senator Loekhardt
claimed that already it Is not possible
t brrow money at six per cent in any
section of tho state. Senator Fry
rln'med that a man should have the
right to set a price on the use of his
mcney just as he has on any other
property.
There Is to be m minority report
an a further contest on the floor of
the senate.
Another bill that Is reported un-
faorably and Is to be given stand
ing on the floor of the senate by a
miccrity report Is that by Senator
Gay for the punishment of drunken-
msj. designed, the-author says, to
help In breaking up "blind-tigers."
The committee reported favorably
a bill to authorize the register of
deeds of Durham county to appoint
a dtputy to act m all matters as dep
uty and legalizing acts of such s
dcioty In the past. The committee
expressed conviction of h need of

results and today he appointed a com
mission whose duty will be "to consid

Ing man; that he had' taken "a few"
the day he was chosen on the Jury,
but they Insisted he was not drunk
within the definition of Judge Hart
thai Is, that he was not making a

ft. H. 'Bherrin, a metnber of.the

"I was drunk on Tuesday." Leigh
promptly agreed," "and also on
Wednesday morning, the day I was
selected.- I never said earmark

He said he had declared a belief
In Hharp's innocence, but denied lay
ing anything about the Coopers'. On
cross-examination, he qualified his ad
