CLAPPART SAYS HE WAS RIGHT.
When a Post representative called at
the police station in company with the
officers in order to net a statement from

ment. He asked if the man was dead,
and upon bring told that he was he said:
"I'm right; b"fore Co<l I am right. I will

He was not urged to make a statement.

EIGHT HOUR LAW
Patterson's Amendment Was De-
feated in the Senate.
A STATEHOOD AMENDMENT
Foraker Introduced Measure for
Referendum Vote in Arizona
and New Mexico.
(Associated Press Re fort.)
WASHINGTON, February 9.--Almost
the entire session of the senate today
was devoted to the consideration of the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill,
which was passed practically as it was
reported from the committee. At the
beginning of today's session Mr. Foraker
presented an amendment to the statehood
Mil, directing the method of proceeding
In Arizona and New Mexico on the ques-
tion of admission. It directs that within
thirty days after the approval of the
statehood bill the governors of the two
Territories shall respectively call elec-
tions for submitting the question of joint
statehood to the voters of the two pro-
posed States, separately, and that the
union shall not be consummated unless
a majority of the votes in each Territory
are cast in the affirmative. The urgent
deficiency appropriation ,bill was laid be-
fore the senate and read at length. Tho
only discussion of this bill was over an
amendment, suggested by Mr. Patterson
to strike out the provision relieving alien
workmen on the cunal from the operation
of the eight-hour law.
Mr. Patterson contended that to re-
quire men to labor more than eight hours
a day In the tropics was inhuman and
argued that the requirement would do
injustice to American labor. Several sen-
ators on both sides of the chamber con-
troverted the position.
Mr. Patterson puid he thought that with
improved sanitary conditions in Panama
a large number of negro citizens of tnis
country could find profitable employ-
ment there if the eight-hour law was
enforced. He also thought that many
American mechanics would find employ-
ment in the canal zone.
Mr. Hale said it had been Impossible
to get American negroes to go to Panama
to work. That the canal work can not be
done and that the enterprise must fail 1
alien iu,'.ior can not be employed on the
canal, .vlr. Hale said, was the general
consensus of opinion.
Mr. Money also opposed the amend-
ment. He did not believe there would
be any American labor there. "They
won't live more than eight hours after
arrival," he said, "when they are turn-
ing u million germs with every spade
full of earth. Work there, he said,
means death.
"What it all means. In plain, brutal
English, is that there !s being prepared
on the isthmus a slaughter house for
aliens and that the canal is to be bull
at a fearful cost, not only of money, br
of life," responded Mr. Patterson, in per-
sisting in pressing the amendment on the
senate.
Mr. Galllnger called attention to the
statement of the officials that sanitary
conditions on the Isthmus were much im-
proved, and Mr. Patterson replied that
these statements did not compare with
the testimony given by senators.
Mr. Tillman also took issue with Mr.
Patterson, saying that "when the senator
makes an appeal for alien labor he would
better look a little closer home and con-
sldsr the American la,borer, who, in the
end, must pay for building the canal."
Mr. Patterson replied that it was quite
probable the work would be done under
contract, rendering government Interfer-
ence all the more difficult. He added
that If one-half that was promised In the
way of sanitation on the line of the canal
is to be realised many Americans would
seek work there. He withdrew the amend-
ment he had offered and offered another,
fixing the limit of a day's labor on canal
work at ten hours instead of eight.
The amendment was voted down with-
out resorting to roll call.
Mr. Tillman expressed dissatisfaction
with the r^atlonship between the canal
commission and the Panama Railrotd
company, and said he hoped the canal
commission would find means of unifying
the road. The bill was then passed, and,
at 3:08 p. m., the senate went into execu-
tive session, and at 3:15 p. m. adjourned
until Monday.

ROUTINE BUSINESS.
House Disposed of Legislation of
Minor Nature.
(Associate.1 Press Report A
WASHINGTON. February 9.—Among
the minor bills pnssed by the house to-
day was one providing for the removal
of the county seat of Washita county,
O. T., from Cloud Chief to New Cordell.
The bill to amend the Philippine tariff
act was called up by Mr. Payne of New
York, chairman of the ways and means
committee. He explained that the bill
related to cotton goods and shoes; that
the cotton goods amendment was made
necessary because of a misapprehension
which resulted in a discrimination against
American nuule goods in the tariff act
of March 3. ISWt,.
The cotton manufacturers in the coun-
try, he said, make goods twenty-two
inches; European manufacturers weave
in double widths and th.-'n cut the strip
In the center, thus saving half the cost.
These goods are known In the trade as
"false salvage" goods, on which the rote
is raised by the amendment to the point
which does away with discrimination
against American goods. I.ow grade and
children's shoes are placed in a lower
class, making tho tariff less, as Mr.
Payne stated, to encourage the wearing
of shoes In the Island.
No cne wished to debate tho bill, which
was passed without objection. At 2:25
o'clock the house adjourned until Mon-
day.
HAD NO OPINION.
Hill Refused to Discuss the Hep-
burn Bill.
(Associated Press Report.)
NEW YORK, February 9.—James J.
Hill, when questioned yesterday, said he
did not know what chance the Hepburn
railway rate regulation bill had of pass-
ing the senate, and would not express an
opinion of Its value as legislation.
"I know this much about it," he said.
"Before some of the railroads get down
to the rates the Great Northern is charg-
ing now they will all be sick and tired of
rate regulation."

Ington, who represents the senator, : I d
he was not ready to proceed, but said he
would communicate with Chairman Bur-
rows within a few days. The character
of the evidence offered this session, said
Mr. Worthington, had convinced him of
the desirability of calling witnesses for
the defense. With reference to the list 't
members of the Utah constitutional con-
vention. members of the legislature and
State officers charged to have been
polygamists, Mr. Worthington said it
might be necessary to call from 100 to
Irw witnesses to disprove the testimony
of the prosecution unless the committee
permitted the tiling of affidavits. He
said that Senator Smoot was anxious that
the case should be closed and t>*Jit there
should not be one day of atoidable delay.
CAPACITY LACKING.
President Explained Restricted
Invitations to Wedding.
(Associated Press Retort.)
WASHINGTON, February 9.—President
Roosevelt authorized the following state-
ment, which was given out at the White
House today:
"The president and Mrs. Roosevelt ask
the kind consideration of many friends,
who, under ordinary circumstances, would
receive Invitations to Miss Roosevel'"*
wedding. The capacity of the White
House requires that under existing cir-
cumstances invitations be limited to the
closest kinsfolk, the personal friends of
Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth. and
certain classes of officials in Washing-
ton. No friends of the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt are being asked unless they
also come under one of these clauses, and
even with the limitations the number of
guests threatens to overtax the capacity
of the White House."

SETTLE QUESTION
HOUSE IS INVESTIGATING
INSURANCE CONTROL.
Views as to the Right of Federal
Supervision Widely Diver-
gent—Opinion of Bar.
(Associated Press Retort.*
WASHINGTON, February 9.—Acting
under instructions of the house, the
judiciary committee today began an in-
vestigation, in order that it may report
whether or not congress has the power
to provide Federal control of insurance.
That this authority does exist was main-
tained by R. W. Breckenridge of Omaha,
Neb., chairman of the insurance commit-
tee of the American Bar association. At
the August meeting of this association
Mr. Breckenridge made a motion to have
his committee instructed by the associa-
tion to prepare a bill providing such con-
trol.
The opposite view of the question was
presented to the committee by George
Whitlock of Baltimore. The bar asso-
ciation, by a vote of 113 to 29. sent to its
Insurance committee for consideration a
resolution declaring Federal control of
insurance Illegal and under the. direct
control of the supreme court. Mr. Whit-
luck was the author of the resolution and
presented that view today. Mr. Brecken-
ridge produced statistics that the insur-
ance business was National in character.
Of twentv of the largest insurance com-
panies. lie said but 15 per cent of their
business was done in the States where
they were chartered.
Mr. Breckenridge read decisions by the
supreme court, from which he drew the
conclusion that the doctrine had been laid
down that the court was not bound by
the precedent of previous decisions on
constitutional questions. As an illustra-
tion, he said the decision on the Income
tax was contrary to previous decisions.
He concluded by calling the attention of
the committee to the case of Carroll
against Greenwich, decided in 1903, by the
supreme court, in which the fire insur-
ance was held to be commerce.

executors. Together they called on Mrs*.
Mizner at her Fifth avenue home.
Mrs. Mizner declared to Mr. Knight her
intention of asking the courts for permis-
sion to use the estate funds to build with-
in the next few years the $800,000 Yerkes
hospital. Mr. Knight told her that the
effort would be stoutly resisted, and that
If the executors had t'netr way the hos-
pital would not be erected until after her
death, as provided in Mr. Yerkes' will.
Mr. Knieht told Mrs. Mizner that she
would find it difficult to break the will,
and only by breaking It would she be ablo
to carry out her plan. Mrs. Mizner said
she would fight for what she considered
her rights.
The executors are prepared to resist
every expenditure by Mrs. Mizner that
they deem extravagant. In this they are
backed by Charles R. Yerkes, the dead
millionaire's son. Owsley will remain In
New York indefinitely. Mr. Knight will
return to Chicago tomorrow, but will re-
turn when needed. The executors are
satisfied that they are to have a long
quarrel over the estates.
