THE SAN ANTONIO DAILY EXPRESS: THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 20, 1908.
V
heads of the two executive departments
responsible for the withdrawal.
Tells of Texan's Request.
Se_crptarv Hitchcock was first called to
the stand* today. He said that he had
asked the Forest Service, a division of
the Agricultural Department, to report
or, a request of Jack Gordon of Paris,
' Tex., and associates, that they be per-
mitted to buy 20).000 acres for a game
preserve and that in making an adverse
report on that proposition the Forest
Service had asked for the withdrawal of
the lands for a forest reserve.
Mr. Hitchcock said that in granting
the request he had only temporarily sus-
pended the operation of the law requiring
that the land in question bo allotted. The
tentativo suspension, he said, was for the
purpose of Investigation, with a view to
determining what was the tfcst interest of
the Indian.
Rebuked by Teller.
"You have no right to suspend the op-
eration of a statute one hour, not one
minute," declared Senator Teller. "If
you had the hight temporarily to hold up
the application of a law you could sus-
pend its operation for a month, a year
or two years."
In reply to questions from Senator
Long as to the reasons that actuated
the Secretary, Mr. Hitchcock said the
request of Secretary Wilson had prompt-
' ed him. He was asked concerning other
suspensions of land laws and said that at
times actions of that character had been
taken at the request of the President
where it had been necessary to investi-
gate claims of frauds.
"No one has authority to suspend a
law of the United States under any cir-
cumstances unless there is specific pro-
vision for it," declared Mr. Teller.
Department Heads Condemned.
All of the members of the committee
then took part in condemning the action
of the department in suspending the law*
and finally Senator Teller said:
"I challenge anyone to show any stat-
ute which permitted the suspension of
the allotments, in question."
"If we have violated the law, T am very
sorry for it," said Secretary Hitchcock;
"but my only motive was In the interest
of the Indian and because I desired to
accommodate the Secretary of Agricul-
ture. The committee, I think, does not
take Into consideration that the suspen-
sion was not permanent, but merely pro-
vided for the submission of a plan to
Congress tor the creation of a forest re-
serve."
Turning to Secretary Wilson, who had
been an interested listener of the exam-
ination of his colleague in the Cabinet,
. Senator Long said: "We want to know
under what authority you required the
withdrawal of these lands from allot-
ment?"
Wilson Defends Action.
"I never looked at an authority," re-
plied Secretary Wilson "I made up my
mind that we had a better proposition
for the Indians than to turn his land into
a gamfe preserve. The right to withdraw
the land was a matter for the lawyers of
the Interior Department to pass upon.
We made an investigation and then a
recommendation. It is up to you, gentle-
men, to say whether you take it or not."
"No," replied Senator Clarke, "It Is up
to the Secretary of the Interior to do as
the law tells him to do."
Chief Forester Pinchot was called to
the stand, and, as he had explained his
proposition, members of the committee
declared emphatically that he could not
hope to get his plan through Congress.
He was told also that his request had
been out of place, inasmuch as it sug-
gested a violation of law.
Advises Early Revocation.
"Secretary Hitchcock should not take
thirty minutes in telegraphing an order
to the Territory to permit the allotments
to proceed," said Senator Teller.
Senators Lodge, Long, Clarke and
Brandegee assented.
The question of the propriety of the
withdrawal of the lands was also recom-
mended in the Senate. It. was brought
up by Senator Berry in eofmeotion with
some protests against the proceedings
which he presented. He characterized
the withdrawal as a "remarkable pro-
ceeding," and "as seemingly in disregard
of the law requiring allotment,"

Charcoal Kills
Bad Breath
Disagreeable Odor Arising From Indi-
gestion or From Any Habit or
Indulgence Can Be Instantly
Stopped.
Sample Package Mailed Free.
Other people notice your bad breath
where you would not notice it at all. It
Js nauseating to other people to stand
before them while you are talking, give
them a whiff or two of your bad breath.
It usually comes from food fermenUni- on
your stomach. Sometimes you liave it in
the morning—that awful sour, bilious
bad breath. You can stop that at once
by swallowing one or two Stuart Charcoal
Lozenges, the most powerful gas and odor
absorbers ever prepared.
Sometimes your meals will reveal
themselves in your breath to those who
talk with you. "You've had onions," or
"You've been eating cabbage." and all of
ti sudden you belch in the face of your
friend. Charcoal i3 a wonderful absorber
of odors, as every one knows. That is
why Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are so
quick to stop ail gases and odors of odor-
ous foods, or gas from indigestion.
Don't use breath perfumes. They never
conceal the odor and never absorb the
gas that causes the odor. Besides, the
very fact of using them reveals the rea-
son for their use. Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges in the first place stop for good
Ell sour breath and belching of gas, and
make your breath pure, fresh and sweet
Just after you've eaten. Then no ono
will turn his face away from you when
you breathe or talk; your breath will be
pure and fresh, and besides your food
will taste so much better to you at your
next meal. Just try it.
Charcoal does other wonderful things
too. It carries away from your stomach
and Intestines all the Impurities there
• massed together and which causes the
bad breath. Charcoal is a purifier as
well as an absorber.
Charcoal is now by far the best, most
easy and mild laxaXlve known. A whole
boxful will do no harm; In fact, the more
you take the better. Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges are made of pure willow char-
coal and^mixed with just a faint flavor
of honey to make them palatable for you
but not too sweet. You Just chew theni
like candy. They are absolutely harm-
less.
Get a new, pure, sweet breath, freshen
your stomach for your next meal, and
keep the intestines in good working or-
der. These two things are the secret of
good health and long life. You can get all
the charcoal necessary to do these won-
derful but simple things by getting Stu-
art's Charcoal lozenges. We want you
to test these little wonder workers your-
self before you buy them. So send us

WASHINGTON, Deo. 19.—Tha House
unexpectedly ran against a snag today
in an effort to increase the clerical force
in tho office of the enrolling clerk, the
Democrats, led by Mr. Clark of Mon-
tana, opposing the passage of the reso-
lution. A resolution from the Commit-
tee on accounts was adopted, giving the

bale on tills resolution, but when It was
followed by another still further Increas-
ing the force in" the enrolling clerk's
office determined opposition arose.
The absence of a quorum was dis-
closed when the House divided on the
passage of the resolution. Representative
Clark, who had inveighed against the
"senseless Christmas holidays," insisted
that a quorum should bo present if the
resolution was to be acted upon. Speaker

This suggestion was concurred In.

money market along the lines of recom-

session to secure the passage of the bill
for a lock canal and that bill was passed.
"1 am too late to save 'his reputation

Morgan, "but it may not be too late
to save this Government from enormous
loss."

BAILEY SPEAKS IN
COMANCHE AND
EXPLAINS
Senator lias Bnsy Session at De
Leon and Tells About His
Waters-Pierce Connections.
CAMPAIGN IS HOT
AND DATES NUMEROUS
Special Telegram to The Express.
DE LEON, Tex., Dec. 19.—Senator Bai-
ley spoke here this afternoon to an audi-
ence numbering GOO people and was en-
thuslatsically greeted. Probably the most
noticeable thing about the meeting was
a semi-debate which was Indulged in be-
tween the Senator and W. E. Lowe, cash-
ier of the Farmers' and Merchants' Na-
tional Bank, who is a strong anti-Bailey
man. Mr, Lowe asked Mr. Bailey some
questions concerning the alleged com-
promise at Waco between the State and
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, concern-
ing which Culldfi Thomas has talked so
much. Mr. Bailey answered all the ques-
tions.
There was also a succession of ques-
tions and answers between Senator Bai-
ley and the local Baptist preacher, and
tlie preacher admitted when he had fin-
ished that he was fully satisfied <>n the
point upon which he made inquiry, con-
cernlng the exact identity of the vouchers
said to be in possession of Davidson,
The preacher asked how tho vouchers for
loans came to be in the records of the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company.
Senator Bailey arrived in the city
shortly before uoon aiwi went to a local
boarding house. He then held a recep-
tion and met many of his friends and
supporters.
Hall Filled to Capacity.
At 2 o'clock the hall selected was filled
to its capacity, about 500, and there was
very little standing room available. The
meeting was presided over by A. G.
Hampton, and Edwin Dabney, a promi-
nent lawyer of this city and a graduate
of the University of Texas, class of 1902,
introduced the speaker.
After opening, the speaker dwelt upon
the fight against him in ail its phases,
lie spoke of the causes behind it and
elicited great applause as he enumerated
the different steps and told of the action
of the Attorney General. He said that
they assailed "poor old Tom Smith with
the charges that he admitted the Waters-
Pierce Oil Company into Texas again.
They wanted to beat him In the race for
Governor; they wanted the Governorship,
and they hounded him to his death. But
they won't drive me to my death."
He then spoke of the desire of his op-
ponents to hold an open primary in this
county in order to get all the Republican
and Populist votes against him, inasmuch
as they would not have to vote for or
against anyone else. II<* referred to the
investigation at Austin six years ago how
Thomas swore then.
He spoke of the holding back of th^
second revival of the charges until after
the primaries. He said that he was noi
only elected six years ago, after the in-
vestigation, but that last July ho was
el» eted again by the people of Texas.
"I despise," he said, "these lawyers who
say that a man can't be a faithful pub-
lic servant and practice law. This fight
was ma do upon me by a set of dis-
gruntled, dissatisfied and disappointed
politicians."
Has Good Offers.
The Senator repeated his previous
statement concerning the Attorney
General's refusal to permit him to see th'i
papers which it was alleged implicated
him, and decialred that the failure to
produce the alleged draft for Henry &
Stribbling gave proof that the draft was
not nenuine. He continued:
Been Offered $50,000 a Year.
"I have been offered $50,000 a year to
quit the Senate but if the people will let
nir practice law when Congress is not in
sossicn, I would rather work for them at
a salary of a year because 1. would
rather earn an honorable name in th<-
■ rvice of my country than to have all
tho gold in the world."
Speaking of the injunction amendment
to the rate bill, he said: "if 1 go hack
to the Senate I will put the amendment
through if Federal judges abuse the in-
junction power, and 1 am going back,
tuu. And the great powers know that I
will put It through and they are aiding
in this fight."
Offered His Services.
Mr. Bailey then referred to the fact
that he offered his services to the At-
torney General to aid in the prosecution
of tlie company when it was proven a
trust and nr ntioned the fact that David-
son did not institute proceedings until
Hadley of Missouri had proven the com-
pany a trust. Then Davidson went after
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, when
the testimony had proven that there ar<-
two other companies in Texas own^d
entirely by the Standard. "Why did ho
select th«> Waters-Pierce?" asked Mr.
Bailey. "Because my name had been
mentioned in connection with it and he
was after me and not a trust."
He stated that Davidson was Attorney
General for two years before he went
after the trusts. Senator Bailey then re-
ferred to the local Representative, say-
ing that no honorable man will take the
people's office and* then brr-ak the peo-
ple's instructions; that he should resign
and run again.
At the close of the speech Edwin Dab-
ney asked those who desired Senator
Bailey to return to the Senate to stand
up. Fully 90 per cent of those present
stood and cheered wildly.
Tonight the citizens are shooting anvils
in celebration and Senator Bailey has
been overwhelmed with visitors at his
hotel.
Senator Bailey goes to Proetor to speak
there tomorrow afternoon. He will speak
at Dublin Friday afternoon and Stcphen-
ville Friday night.
Handbills here announce Cullen F.
Thomas as a speaker tomorrow for the
anti forces.
A crowd of students from the Hankins
