In an elaborate opinion the speaker said he was war ranted in taking Judicial knowledge of the fact that the offense set forth, as charged against Mr. Cockran, "if com mitted at all, was committed while the gentleman from New York was neither a member nor a member-elct of this House." : Hfl read a nnmW nf Tvrffrtnts da.t- sengers today on the steamer Yucatan ! mg. ag fgr back ag certam iruiu vuilhi were uie xiicmucis ui ljib BACK FROM COLON .

They live catty cornered across the street from each other. Nellie Todd has six children, the oldest sixteen and the youngest two rears old.

Three fireman lost their lives this morning at a fire which destroyed the three buildings of the John Stanly soap factory. They were all young men and It was their recklessness ln going where Chier Croker himself had warned them not to go that cost them their lives. This danger spot was In front of a six story brick structure. Af.er four o clock In the morning there was not much left of the building except the front wall. The engine company, in command of Lieu tenant James Foley, was stationed in front of It and had two lines of hose at work. The three men were at the nozzle of one of them, and they ven tured beyond the safety line In the mid dle of the "street to the south sidewalk so as to play their stream to better ad- J vantare. Lieutenant Foley yelled for them to come back, for the six story wall was wabbling. The three hesi tated an instant and then turned to run, dragging their hose with them. But it was too late then. The wall bulged out at the second story, then came down with a roar and a crash and burled the three men. "Rhoda and Roxle Welling, half sis ters, who live a mile from me. They are about twenty-two to twenty-four years of age." The inquiry brorht out that Apostle Taylor is supposed to be In Canada. He has property there. Mr. Dubois Do you know whether it is generally understood that the high officials of the Mormon church go to Mexico or Canada to contract plural marriages? ' "I understand they do not go through the temple or marry plural wives with the consent of the Mormon people." Mr. Burrows announced that the United States marshal of Utah had been unable to locate Apostle Taylor, j George Teasdale, Abraham cannon, Heber J. Grant, M. F. Cowley. Lillian Hamlin Cannon and Marion W. Merrill. Abetter was read from President Jos eph F. Smith, dated April 15, expressing regret that he could not procure the at tendance of these persons. He said that offenses had been charged against sen ators and members having been com mitted before their entry into Congress and upon which their expulsion was de manded, and said that, in so far as the House was concerned, in but one of the cases had the House assumed to punish a member for acts committed prior to the time he was elected to the House. Sepaker Cannon held that what had been alleged by Mr. Dalzell constituted no crime. It was simply a question in volving the propriety of the conduct of a private citizen and the House could not punish that citizen if it desired to do so. He also held that under decis ions of the supreme court it was very doubtful if a committee of inquiry un der such circumstances could compel the attendance of witnesses or the giv ing of testimony. "Under the circum stances," concluded the speaker, "the chair holds that the resolution of the gentleman from New York, may not be entertained as a question of privilege." Complete silence followed the an nouncement of the speaker's decision and there was close attention when Mr. .Williams; the minority leader on the floor, arose in his place and addressed himself to the chair. With all due respect," said Mr. Will iams, "we beg leave to appeal from the decision of the chair." Mr. Payne of New York, the Republi can floor leader, moved that the appeal be laid upon the table. Speaker- Can non put the question of -laying the ap peal on the table. The- Republicans voted "aye" lustily, but the Democrats Just as lustily shouted "no."

The latter said he would answer and "knock the pins" out of, Llttlefield's speech If he were fien an hour to do It. The Republicans laughed at' this. He asked If any mem ber stood by Mr. Cockran's free trade speech. Mr. Baker of Brooklyn shout ed that he did, and that he would re peat Clark's offer to hire a hall and, debate with Mr. T"wea ttoi- against frea . He nex-alled .upon Mr. DeXrmond of Missouri to answer. The latter re plied y asking Mr. LIttlefleld If he' WTud stand for a" tariff upon article where the tariff afforded a shelter for monopoly and enabled ' domestic j manu facturers to sell goods cheaper abroad than at home. Later Mr. LIttlefleld made a reply to tills question1 which brought forth loud applause on the Democratic side, while the Republi cans, who had before been cheering him enthusiastically, sat mute and silewt. Mr. LIttlefleld declared that where it could be shown that a manu facturer was enabled to sell his goods cheaper abroad than at home by rea son of the operation of the tariff, he was In favor of reducing the tariff to an extent sufficient to prevent such a condition. In making that statement Mr. LIttlefleld said he spoke only for himself and did not assume to speak for the Republican party.' LIttlefleld Makes a Pass at Cockran Mr. Grosvenor next called up the Philippine shipping bill and asked unanimous consent that a vote be taken after two hours of general debate, one hour on a side. This motion was agreed to and Mr. Grosvenor, amid Re publican applause, yielded one hour to the g-entleman from Maine.

T Pinal Action on Sundrv Civil Appropriation Bill Washington, April 27. The confer ence agreement on the sundry civil ap DroDriation bill, reported today, clear ing up all differences between the two Houses on this measure, is as-Xollows as to important items added by the Senate: The Senate amendment providing $900,000 for an office building for sena tors Is retained.

The cruiser Hal Tien.- which struck rocks at Eagle Point, sixty miles south When the bill was reported to the House Mr. DeArmond of Missouri at tacked the provision for the 'proposed new building for the use of senators, which, he said, when completed would be simply a "senatorial flat, luxuriously furnished." He favored a more modest building, with -modest furnishing and "yet not lacking in those evidences of taste-by a devotion to art so dear to the senatorial heart and so expensive to the public purse." Mr. Heminway explained that the House conferees were compelled to ac cept the Senate provision because the Senate insisted that fts present office building had been found to be unsafe. On a rising vote the report was adopted 140 to 92. The Democrats de manded the yeas and nays, and the roll was called. The report was adopt ed 13 td' 129. " " - In the Senate Mr. Piatt of Connecti cut objected-. to the extension, but the bill was passed without division. continued f "It is a pleasure to meet the gentleman and an honor to know him. It is both an honor and a pleasure to hear him. He then said that the moth-eaten doctrine of free trade had attained a new distinc tion through the eloquent oratory of Mr. Cockran. But instead of promoting this doctrine on a sound, logical basis, the gentleman from New York had re sorted to a vituperative, villifying and a demagogic assault upon the doctrine of protectionism. Mr. LIttlefleld said the gentleman from New York mistook epithet for argument and denunciation for demonstration. On Saturday last, Mr. LIttlefleld said. Mr. Cockran had announced tariff as an Issue. On Tuesday, the tariff issue having met with a chilly reception, Mr. Cockran announced that tariff would not be an Issue in the next campaign, because the Republicans would be in control of the Senate for the next four years and tariff legislation could not be enacted. j J he said. "For four people are protected The Democratic Leader Replies Mr. Wllliams replled for an hour. Ha took Mr. Dalzell : severely to . task for hU refeienee to "foreign hoodlums," and spoke of the patriotic devotion fo the country of those who came to America from foreign shores,. He declared that, protection w.i" simply a subsidy, yet every Republican would denounce him 'if he introduced a , bill to give labor a' subsidy In 'money as It proposed to do to the shipping in dustry,, which proposition, he said, was so closely allied to the doctilne of pro tection. Replying to Sir. LIttlefleld. he asked some questions and demanded categorical answers. Was the tariff, u tax, and did the Republicans favor a tariff which would; shelter monopoly? The Democratic position, he -said, was not to place every; article made by a trust upon the free list, but to so re duce the tariff as to make It Impossible for a trust to increase its prices by reason -of, the -tariff. As to Mr.j Cock ran's speech, he agreed with him ir' some respects and disagreed with him in others; eery Democrat had individ ual views. Mr, LIttlefleld did not ask a fair question when he wanted a cat egorical reply Mr. LIttlefleld) knew that the Issue was not free trade; he knew that government could ' not be -conducted without some tariff tax, and the difference between Republicanism j and Democracy, was that the former ' believed that taxation was a blessing and should be made as high as possible, while the Democrats held It to be a necessary evil and sought to reduce It to the lowest possible amount. Just before the recess was taken at 6:30 the Deocrats achieved a victory. For several days the Republicans have been endeavoring to get consent to havo political speeches for capaign pur poses Inserted in the record, but Mr. Williams, the minority leader has re peatedly objected and they have been kept out to a large extent. Today, Mr. Grosvenor offered a resolution to sus pend the rule so as to permit member to extend remarks on the record fori three days after adjournment. Mr. Williams vigorously protested-and won his point. He demanded a roll call and every Democrat voted against the res olution, as did a dozen Republicans, while others shirked the vote. MrJ Gros venor's resolution was defeated by a vote of 125 to 103. The House then took a recess until 9:00 o'clock, j After three roll calls the House to night, by a yote of 123 to 98, passed the . bill providing that government supplies for the Philippines shall be shipped in American bottoms. Consideration ; of the measure occupied practically all the time of the night session. i At midnight the resolution for final adjournment had not yet been pre sented In the House, which at that hour found Itself without a quorum and un able to transact any business. It was the intention of the leaders to present the adjournment resolution and then take a recess until 10:30 tomorrow morning, but the inability to find a quorum may compel adjournment until noon.
