a resolution by Lemon of Grant was

nakes a voluminous record) are to
be distributed over the state
People Should Judge.
The resolution was Introduced at
the request of the committee which
took the position that the people of
tho State ShOUld Judge for themselves
whether the sensational reformatory
report Is baaed on sufficient evidence
or whether it was made through mal-
ice as charged bj the governor in his
message to tho legislature (her the
proteat of a few members who con-
tended that the message of the gov-
ernor should tlrst be read the Lemon
n solution was discussed and adopted
before the contents of the governor's
communication hud been revealed ot.
Aolally to the membership of the
house.
Message whs Insulting.
Members of the committee used the
must vivid language in expressing
their I. pinion of the attitude of the
governor In sending a message to the
legislature which they declared was
Insulting and Intended to castigate and
Impugn the motives of the committee
ami il"' legislature
"Old Faithful."
a sensational feature was the de-
fense of the governor anil an attack
upon the character of evidence heard
by the house committee In a Speech
by Morris of Stephens county. In
afhloh he denounced one of the chief
witnesses before the house committee
us a "lliief" and declared that the cvl-
dence "as unreliable He waved above
his head copies of alleged affidavits
which he said stated thai Lea Waldrlp
a former guard at the reformatory
hud Stolen bed clothing and other ar-
tides Morris nlso rend a letter writ-
ten by Speaker Maxey in June mil
ti Deputy Warden Hackett recom-
mending W'alrlp fot I position at the
reformatory.
Hoop-la!
"I will not stand here and have
Lee ruce ii Christian gentleman and
other offlOlata of the state In whom
the people have confidence maligned
by the testimony of thieves and dis-
reputable witnesses" shouted .Morris.
I would rather go to prison and rot
Hp re th in sit quietly liy and see men
oondemned by such evidence as this."
Morris declared that he personally
visited the reformatory ami found no
such conditions as pictured by the
committee and that h would -ppose
having SUCh evidence printed nnd
sent broadcast over the state. Morris
stated that Senator Carpenter himself
who cOmSI from the county In which
rjranltS is located hail never heurd of
SUCh conditions as presented hy the
report ami he expressed the pinion
that the senate Should also Investigate
the matter.
Itepresentattve Carr asked Morris If
he thou-ht more of the senate than he
did of the house.
"Kvcrvonc knows that I have lawn
III the hopeless minority in this house
ever since 1 came here" declared M0I
ri "and i have been unable to gel
legislation through because i refused
to join the uomblnatlon. I am not
responsible for the extravagances of
this legislature which has spent Mil-
tog without giving the people of the
state anything In return for this ex-
penditure" Smith Grows vitriolic
ii. ii. smith of Pottawatomie
came to the defense of speaker Maxcv
and the committee with one of the
most sensational attacks on the gov
ernor yet delivered on the Moor of the
house. Smith tlrst paid his raspst tS
10 Morris.
"I am at a loss to understand whj
Mr Morris should Join with the gov-
ernor and Warden It I to assail one
witness who testified to as little as any
other witness before the committee"
said Smith) "Mr. Rood's testimony
before the committee with on or two
exceptions was as strong us Wiildrlp's
I den) that Waldrlp Is a thief and I
hurl this slander hack at Mr. Morris
and the governor's office from whence
11 came"
"I deny thiil these nlliduvlts came
from the governor's office" retorted
Morris hotly. "Thei were proem
at my request."
"Both affidavits are baaed merely on
hearsay evidence" Interposed one
member of the house
"1 want them read and see whether
this la true" replied Mortis.
Some Sarcastic.
Smith accused Morris and the gov-
ernor of being engaged together to
slander speaker Maxey and members
of the committee but qualified his
Statements expressing the opinion
that Morris was not entirely respon-
sible for what he had said on the
door as he was suffering from demen-
tia from excitement over the situa-
tion. Smith also told Morris that If
Waldrlp ever heard what he had said
uhout him on the floor of the house
and ever met Morris a duel would be
the result.

Representative Smith then devoted
the rest of his time to a defense of
the report of the committee and ex-
pressions uncomplimentary lo Gover-
nor ('nice. He declared he had known
Governor Cruoe since be whs a youth
of IS lining in Kentucky and thai he
had no personal enmity for him. He
declared however that if the governor
is a Christian gentleman he should oh.
serve the commandment thou simit
not lie Hmlth stated that the gover-
nor was before the committee for two
hours nnd had twenty-four more In
Which to produce any other witnesses
ho desired. He declared that the gov-
ernor admitted In his testimony that If
the statements of witnesses were true
as made relative to Granite that th
board of prison control had not per-
formed Its duty and was a Hat failure.
Smith also denied the charges in the
governor's message that the report was
Influenced by the veto of the Muskogee
fair hill declaring that he voted

other member or the Investigation
committee asked the governor to dis-
approve the measure

"If the statements In this report

matically "1 should ask my own

WASHINGTON April 18. The tar-
iff revision hill progressed rapidly in
the democrat Ii- caucus of the house
i today was considered simultaneously
! by a conference of republican repre-
sentatives who agreed to proposed
amendments ana Democratic Leader
Underwood tonight predicted that the
hill Would he hrought up in the house
next Wednesday
In the democratic caucus the ways
and means committee majority was
sustained at every point during a ser-
ies of fights oyer proposed amend-
ments to the Income tax the only Im-
portant change being a decision to
strengthen the provision exempting
life insurance policies The $10-
Oiio.ooo exemption and graduated
scheme of Income taxation running up
to 4 per cent on JlOO.000 or more
was retained Intact.
The house republicans in an open
conference indorsed the proposed
amendment to the hill that would
provide for a tariff commission
changed so as to require the commis-
sion to report annually and deferred
until Monday action on a proposition
to introduce as a republican amend-
ment the Payne-Hill wool bill that
was offered two years ago.
Meantime the democrats of the
ways and means committee met and
agreed upon number of minor changes
In their hill which will he offered
probably late tomorrow to correct de-
fects disclosed In the caucus pro 'ceil-
ings In telegram! and letters to the
committee and renewed study of the
bill.
The democrats have been bom-
barded with inquiries regarding! a
clause of the income tax provision In-
tended to exempt life insurance
policies.
To avoid complications the CAUCUS
chitnged the language so as to read
"provided the proceeds of life insur-
ance policies paid upon the death of
the person insured shall not be in-
cluded as Incomes."
Representative Sherlcy of Ken-
tucky proposed to reduce the Income
exemptions from 14000 to $2000 and
to make Incomes of more than $100-
noo pay j per cent tax on the ground
that the hill mnde too small h ma-
jority of the people Subject to the
tax Representative Hobson of Ala-

13000 with a rate of one-half of one
per cent between I3000 and 14.000
nnd ft four pet cent sur-tax on in-
comes between $100000 and r per
cent sur-tax ibove $250.ooo. Reprs-
R! ntatlve Thatcher of Massachusetts
figured the minimum at $1000. All
these amendment! were voted down.

Secretary Bryan's prepared state-
ment Issued tonight Is as follows:
"My meeting with Mr Clark has
served to clear up a misunderstanding
as to my exact position toward him at
the Baltimore convention i have
tried to make it clear lo Mr. Clark
that I have always regarded and do
regard him as a good clean progres-
sive democrat if my language at Bal-
timore created any impression that 1
was charging Mr. ciark with being in
sympathy with any of the reactionary
fortes I mi glad of tin' opport unit J
to correct any such mlsconstruotlon of
my words or acts for I did not Intend
to reflect upon either the personal or
political Integrity of the speaker. H

tation in the eyes of the world. Hut
now that Colonel Krn has made a

he could to remove the Injurious Im-
pressions that wer created his

to the duty that all democrats OWS to
