Commissioner Partridge Is to call to trial before him three police captains, three sergeants, a precinct detective and a patrolman, whose names were made public today. Charges are to preferred against several others whose identity has not been revealed. One of these unknowns will be notified tomorrow, when he will be suspended and ordered to prepare for an early trial. The officers accused of neglect of duty and other offenses are Captains Foody, Her-Uhy and Gannon, Sergeants Darcy, Shiels and Schoenelch, Wardman Dwyer and Patrolman Cox. There will be 100 specifications against Captain Foody and the evidence in the cas will probably be voluminous.

The charges will go back more than a month and will all rest upon the allegation that the Captain neglected his duty in that he failed to enforce the excise laws in theTwentieth precinct; Captain Herlihy is already under indictment and his case will be moved for trial In the criminal courts soon. He was before the last bipartisan board on charges similar to those upon which his indictment Is founded and he was acquitted by a vote of 3to 1. Herlihy and Inspector Adam Cross were also charged by Bishop Potter with insult-' ing Rev. Robert Paddock, rector of the Pro-Cathedral. Captain Gannon Is also under indictment for neglect of duty.

The charges against him resulted from a raid upon the Webster Hotel; in which he was discovered. There have been rumors that he would give assistance to the reformers, turning against the men with whom he has been associated for many years. He will have to defend himself before Commissioner Partridge before his case is heard in court, The remaining five policemen were all indicted In connection with the case which resulted in the conviction of Edward Glen-non, known as the wardman of Chief Dev-ery. Following a general policy, the District Attorney brings them to trial before the Police Commissioner in advance of their trial In court.

Edgar H. Cant And Other Well-Know Baltlmoreans Tell Of experience And Say The Wonder Is That Many Lives Were Not Loit Special From a Staff Correspondent. Atlantic City, N. April 3. Hundreds of Baltlmoreans who hare annually stopped In that district bounded by Park Place on the west and Pennsylvania avenue on, the east, known as the Baltimore Colony, are scattered over Atlantic City tonight recovering as best they can from the fright and prostration occasioned by the conflagration that broke out here this morning.

The hotels totally or partially destroyed. Including the Windsor, Tarlton, Luray, Stratford, Berkeley, Stickney, Evard, Norwood, all had their annual quota of Maryland guests, many of whom barely escaped with their lives, while but few managed to save little else than the clothes In which they stood. The experiences as related by some of these are thrilling In the extreme. The scene was one of the wildest that could be imagined. Hundreds of scantily attired women were rushing frantically about the balls of the Luray and Berkeley Hotels screaming hysterically forv absent members of their families, while others were laden with gowns of exquisite fabrics, their cases in hand, piteously entreating some one to go to their rooms and rescue the rest of their belongings.

Mrs. Keene's Loss. Perhaps one of the most unfortunate In this particular was Mrs. Robert Golds-borough Keene; who occupied apartments at the Luray, together with her daughter and her son, Mr. Lester Bresee and his bride, formerly Miss Sigourney.

Friends of Mrs. Keene here tonight state that all In Mrs. Keene's party lost everything that they had with them. Mrs. Keene was at breakfast when the Luray caught, hearing cries of fire she made a dash for the 6talrway to reach her apartments above but was Intercepted by employes of the hotel who had been stationed about the exchange to repress just such Inclinations.

Mrs. Keene, It Is said, pleaded piteously to be allowed to secure her jewel case, but In vain. In a few minutes the whole house was a seething furnace. Mrs. Keene, her party and the other guests of the Luray were hurriedly transferred to the Hotel Marlborough, the new hotel conducted under the same management as the Luray.

Miss Stokes Carried Ont. Miss E. H. Stokes, who was in her room at the time the Luray caught, made a very narrow escape while endeavoring to save her property. After hastily throwing her belongings into a trunk it Is said that she be- came bewildered and sat down on her bed to collect herself.

Realizing that the flames were rapidly spreading she opened her bedroom door only tobe met with a. blinding smoke and licking flames. A passing fireman seized her and hastily carried her down by a back way to safety. Miss Stokes afterward registered at the Marlborough, but did not take a room and could not be located tonight. Mr.

Gant' Experience. Another Baltimore party at the Luray Included Mr. and Mrs. Edgar H. Gans'.

Mrs. Gans mother and sister, Mrs. John Wall and Miss Margaret Wall, and Mrs.Hardesty all occupied rooms on the fourth floor, and when the alarm sounded were In their rooms. All with the exception of Miss Wall succeeded in saving their effects. She lost everything she possessed, Including many handsome gowns, her jewelry and a purse containing a considerable sum of money.

Mr. Gans afterward removed the members of his party to Haddon Hall. When seen tonight he said the scenes about the hotel beggared description. What prevented a terrible loss of life in the crush, he said, was alone a miracle. Mr.

Gans only arrived on Monday. His mother-in-law being an Invalid, considerable difficulty was experienced in placing her out of danger. Others at the Luray were Mrs. James T. Geisendaffer.

Miss Hilda; Geisendaffer and George W. Knapp, and Wm. G. Knapp. These latter are all quartered at the Hotel Marlborough tonight, but denied themselves to all callers.

Mrs. Blake Saves Effects. There were quite a number of BaltImor-ans at the Hotel Berkely at the time of the fire. Among them were Mrs. John L.

Blake, Mrs. D. L. WHIey, who has been here recuperating from a long illness, and her friend. Miss Emma Dougherty, and Mr.

and Mrs. Samuel Merritt. Mrs. Blake was successful In getting out her effects, as were Mr. and Mrs.

Mrs. Willey and Miss Dougherty, however, lost all they possessed and have but one suit each left. They will leave for Baltimore in the morning. Mr. Willey, Mr.

Blake and Mr. Samuel Merritt, came to Atlantic City this afternoon as soon as they heard of the firs and spent some hours looking about the city In 6earch of their respective families. Mr. and Mrs. Blake are now quartered In the Hotel Dennis.

The Hotel Windsor Is In total darkness tonight, their guests being' scattered all over the city. It was impossible to ascertain how many Baltlmoreans were registered there. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. Edward J.

Walters, Mrs. Lnther Gadd. Mr. and Mrs. William A.

Casler. Mr. And Mrs. Gill Prostrated. There was quite a colony of Marylanders at the Traymore, which was in Imminent periL A panic was narrowly averted by the rare presence of mind of the employes of the hotel.

Trunks were quickly packed and men and women alike assisted in rushing them out of the hotels. Mr. William D. GUI. Mrs.

William D. GI1L and hex mother, Mrs. S. W. Scarlett, had a suite of rooms on the fourth floor.

MrB. Gill Is Just recovering from a long and serious Illness. Mr. GUI is an Invalid and was being wheeled about the hotel In his Invalid chair when the alarm was thoughtlessly given that the hotel was afire. Mrs.

GUI was throwrf into a state of hysteria and called for help, being alone in her room at the time. Her mother rushed to her aid and found her in a fainting condition. Maids were summoned, their effects packed and the entire party moved to the Garden Hotel, a block away, paying the expressman $3 for carrying their four trunks to their new stopping place. When seen last night Mrs. Gill had been joined by her husband, M.

William D. GUI, who came on from Baltimore as soon as he heard of the fire. Mrs. Gilt was in a greatly excited and exhausted state while Mr. Gill.

is confined to his bed as the result of his fright. Mrs. Bolton Saw Start. Mr. and Mrs.

Frank Bolton were also at the Traymore, having rooms on the ocean side of the fourth floor. Mrs. Bolton said to The Scn correspondent tonight that she saw the fire from its start. At first she saw a puff of smoke rise from the Hotel Tarlton and heard the alarm ring out, followed shortly by the arrival of the engines. In a short time, she said, the window panes in her room cracked from heat.

Then she thought It was about time to move. Assisted by Mr. Bolton trunks were packed and the family removed to the Revere on Park Place, but returned later to the Traymore. Mr. and Mrs.

Samuel Rowland, who are at the Traymore, had much the same experience, and are again domiciled at the Traymore, which stands out a blaze of The shaded portions of the map show the burned district. All the larger buildings light In the charred, and serried mass of ruins. It being the nearest house to the burned district. Other Baltlmoreans at the Traymore Include B. H.

Mr. Hurst At The Brighton. Some excitement existed at the Hotel Brighton, but two blocks away from the scene of the Among the recent arrivals at mis hotel are Mr. and Mrs. John E.

Hurst and Miss Sallle Hurst. Mr. Hurst said tonight that at no time did he fear for the safety of his stopping place. He further said he Is here for his health and would stay as long as he con-tjnued to Improve. Mrs.

Crammer Moves Quickly. There were a number of Baltimore people quartered in the smaller houses on Kentucky avenue, where five hotels were burned. At the Richmond, which was saved from being consumed only by a shift of the wind, were Mrs. Edward Crummer and Miss Elizabeth Crummer. As soon as the flames reached Kentucky avenue Mrs.

and Miss Crummer decided on a hasty departure for Baltimore and left on an early afternoon train. At the Frontenac, the second house from the last hotel to burn, were Mr. and Mrs. Luther Nuhlman, of Frederick, Md. All the luggage of the guests and the furni ture of this house was moved out, but by 6 o'clock the house was again In shipshape and the guests 'were again in their accustomed rooms.

Mr. William Rich, salesman for Billings, King was at the Biscayue, Ken tucky avenue. He packed his trunk, moved It to a point of safety and sat upon It until the danger point was passed. Then he moved It back to his hotel, where he now Is. At the Westminster, Kentucky avenue, are Miss J.

E. C. Wayland and Miss Edna Barrey. Beyond a bad fright they are none the worse for their experience. Miss Coleman Rides On Trunk, i Miss May Coleman, daughter of Major Frederick W.

Coleman, who is at the Shirley, in Baltimore, has been spending some weeks at the Kenilworth Cottage, between which and the burned district but two houses Intervene. Early In the day Miss Coleman had her effects moved to a cottage on Indiana avenne. Late In the afternoon she was seen complacently seated on her trunk In an express wagon driving up Pacific avenue on her return to the Kanil-worth. Mr. and Mrs.

H. C. Hall, who are at the Bleak House, when that structure was threatened secured apartments at the Garden, but returned to the Bleak House later.

Hotel parlors, exchanges and hall rooms present a strangely deserted appearance tonight, while the boardwalk Is alive with thousands of beautifully gowned women and well-groomed men who are grouped about vantage points watching the fitful flickering of the glowing embers, all that remains of the beautiful hotels consumed. There Is no dance at the Brighton Casino tonight, as was scheduled. In its stead the ballroom Is deserted and all who can crowd to the windows and on the portico are watching the tired firemen still playing streams of water into the smoldering ruins. The city is under martial law. Company New Jersey National Guard, is patrolling the boardwalk and halting all who can either not establish their Identity or give a good explanation of their presence In the burned district.

Atlantic City has for many years been the favorite resort of Baltlmoreans, and thousands of them 5ournev to it each sea son with the regularity of long-established' habit. Baltimore and Philadelphia undoubtedly furnish more of the spring and summer visiting population of the breezy city by the sea than any other places in the country. Baltlmoreans seem to feel particularly at home at Atlantic' City more so, even, than most of the Philadelphia visitors. One reason for that probably is that many. of the thousands who go from Pennsylvania's metropolis to the seaside make single-day excursion trips.

They do not stop at the hotels, but stream backward and forward along the boardwalk or spend as much time as possible In the water. The visitors from Maryland, however, seldom remain less than three or four days the majority spending from one to two weeks or more and naturally come to feel more at home and grow better acquainted with the many and varied attractions of the popular ocean It has become more and more a custom of Baltlmoreans of recent years to slip away to Atlantic City for rest and recreation at any time during the year. Then a tremendous rush to the ocean takes place at Easter, last week being nearly a record-breaker In that respect. The summer hegira begins about the 1st of July. During that month and August the Balti more visitor might readily imagine himself on Baltimore, Charles or some other borne destroyed were between Illinois and New York avenues.

street, so many familiar faces are to be seen along the boardwalk or in any part of the city. Such a great calamity visiting a resort so well known could not fail but stir Baltlmoreans The Sun's Bulletins. Shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday morning a bulletin was. displayed at The Sun office stating that fire had broken out in the Tarlton Hotel, at Illinois avenue and the boardwalk; that the flames had spread to the Luray Hotel, adjoining, and that a great conflagration was feared. The bulletin attracted instant attention from those hurrying along Baltimore and South streets and a crowd soon gathered.

A hotel fire is always of more than ordinary interest, but a hotel flre at Atlantic City was something that personally affected hundreds who usually pass a bulletin with simply a side glance. Those who had no relatives or friends there knew the lo calities mentioned and the doomed buildings almost as well as the prominent places in Baltimore. In a short time came news that the Windsor, Stratford and Berkeley Hotels were in flames; that the, Atlantic City Fire Department was helpless, and that the town was in danger of being swept out of existence. This was startling and the tidings spread rapidly In all directions. Men came hurrying from their stores and offices to seek the latest news, and the street in front of The Sun's bulletin board was crowded.

Many women elbowed their way Into the throng to read the bulletins. Anxious people came to The Sun's counting room to inquire as to the safety of various hotels and the telephones in both the busi ness office and the editorial rooms were ringing almost constantly. Anxions Inquirers. Quite a number of men whose families were at the resort became alarmed when news of the fire's spread arrived, and left for that place on the first train they could catch. A crowd remained about The Sun office long after the information was posted, about 2.15 o'clock, that the fire was under control.

Some of those about whom information was asked at The Sun office were: Mrs. George M. Upshur and Miss Emily Upshur, at the Denis. Charles M. Coldstead, at the Rudolph.

Mrs. A. B. Alexander, at the Walton. William G.

and George W. Knapp, at tha Windsor. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hooper and Rufua K.

Goodncw, at the Pinehurst. The Misses Lanahan, at the Garden. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel I.

Harman, hotel not known. Mrs. W. lOp. Smith, MiSs Smith and Mrs.

R. C. Wilson, at the Revere. Mrs. Joseph R.

Foard, at the Marlborough. Mrs. W. T. Montague and daughter, Mrs.

Mr. James H. Parrish, Mr. and Mrs. John S.

Bullock, Mrs. William T. Walters McCay, Miss May Morgan, at the Luray. Mr. Charles H.

Morgan, at the Dennis. Miss May Coleman, at Kenelworth Cottage. Others asked for, whose hotels were not known to Inquirers, were ex-Gov. Lloyd Lowndes and family, two children of Mr. L.

K. Gutman and their nurse, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel E. Conklin, Mrs.

D. Allen Willey and Mis3 Roberta Welch Owens. Mr. and Mrs. J.

Thomas Gorrell, of Harford county, had lust arrived at Atlantic City on their wedding tour. They were married Wednesday at the home of Mr. C. Fossett, 1912 Linden avenue, the bride being Miss Catherine Hutton. City Councilman Affelder Saw It.

City Councilman Affelder, of the Fourteenth ward, returned to Baltimore last evening froto Atlantic City, where he witnessed the fire. He went last Thursday and did not intend to return before next Monday. He and his sister, Miss Lizzie Affelder, were stopping at the Islesworth Hotel. Miss Affelder was so wrought up by the excitement that she requested her brother to return home immediately. Mr.

Affelder said: "There was a great rush to get away from Atlantic City and I am quite sure that those who are there tonight will not sleep much. It would be very trying, especially for ladles, to remain there with the fear that another fire might start at any minute. There were quite a number of Baltlmoreans who returned with us, Including Mrs. Jacob Epstein and Mrs. S.

G. Wlnternitz. I think there were many Marylanders there, as I saw quite a number of them on the boardwalk yesterday. Among them were ex-Gov. Lloyd Lowndes, Mr.

and Mrs. Daniel L. Brinton, Senator and Mrs. Lewis Putzel, Mr. A.

G. Hutzler, Mr. and Mrs. Leopold Strouse, Mr, and Mrs. Samuel Strouse, Mr.

and Mrs. Bernard Wlesenfeld, Mr. W. J. Donnelly, Mr.

Michael Ambach, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Stein, Mr. and Mrs. Levy "I do not know that any mention has been made of It, but there was a slight flre on the beach morning about 7 o'clock, as from my room In the Islesworth I saw the fire department going down the boardwalk.

Shortly after breakfast I saw smoke Issuing from the drug store In the Hotel Tarlton. It was not long before the flames had spread. "There were many amusing and pathetic scenes at the flre. I went down to render what aid I could and I assisted one lady from Pittsburg to get her effects out of the hotel. After she had thought that she had gotten everything out she remembered that she had left 17 waists In her room.

It was then too late to retuyn for them. "Many of the guest3 at the Ill-fated hotels did not even try to save their effects, and the personal losses will, therefore, be very great. The fire routed the poor Italians at their fruit stands, and it was pathetic to see them moving from place to place with their little stock. "The burning of Young's pier was one of the most magnificent sights! have ever witnessed. It was simply sublime." Mr.

And Mrs. Bresee's Experience Mr. and Mrs. Lester Bresee, Mrs. R.

Golds-borough Keene and her daughter, Miss Edna Bresee, were among the guests of the Hotel Luray at Atlantic City who returned to Baltimore last night with only the clothing they wore saved from the flames. Mr. Bresee was wearing last night at 10 o'clock a stylish morning suit, which he said now constitutes bis wardrobe. "The only other possession I saved from the fire," he added, "is this keyring, which happened to be In my pocket. I was breakfasting at 10 o'clock with my wife, when two women rushed Into the dining room shrieking that Brady's bathhouses were on flre.

Whether the flre originated in the bathhouses or In the Tarlton Hotel seems The cross mark (X) on the Boardwalk, near HUnols avenue, shows Brady's bath- to be a disputed point, but all I know Is that seemingly within 15 minutes certainly within 20 minutes or half on hour the Luray was in ashes. "Before the flames attacked the hotel the stifling smoke of woojen bathrobes, rugs.etc, was so overpowering that danger from suffocation threatened those who attempted, to enter the building. The wind was blowing a gale, carrying smoke and flame in our direction, but I might have endeavored to save some of our belongings had not my mother earnestly protested against my doing so. "The scene was indescribable a perfect panic for a while, with firemen struggling with the flre and distracted people seeking members of their families. My mother was at first dreadfully alarmed because my sister had gone to a neighboring hotel, and she feared she would attempt to return to our burning building, but she was soon fcund, and we escaped any further distress than the loss of my mother's jewelry and all our new spring clothes." What Mr.

Ammen Says. Mrs. S. Z. Ammen and, her son, Mr.

W. W. Ammen, 1413 Linden avenue, and Mrs. C. P.

also of this city, were among those who had to flee from their hotels to prevent being burned. Through the efforts of young Mr. Ammen his mother's baggage was saved, but Mrs. Manning's trunk got among a great lot of baggage after it was gotten safely out of the hotel, and she lost track of it, though It may turn up later. Mrs.

Ammen, Mrs. Manning and Mr. Ammen returned home last night, leaving Atlantic City on the 3.50 P. M. train.

They were stopping at the Stickney, on Kentucky avenue, near the boardwalk and only a block or so from where the fire started. The Stickney was burned to the ground, nothing being left when Mr. Ammen last saw it, he said, but a pile of blazing embers. Mr. Ammen said he was on the boardwalk "Shortly before 10 o'clock, when he saw clouds of smoke Issuing from the rear of small Btores on the boardwalk near his hotel.

He saw the first engine and firemen arrive, but this company was soon driven back by the dense volumes of smoke. He soon saw that the fire was likely to be a disastrous one and hurried back to the Stickney to warn his mother 'and Mrs. Manning. Already the guests there were hurrying out, many 'without their baggage, and everybody in a great stata of although Mr. Ammen said there was less excitement than he expected under the circumstances.

As they had intended coming home that day anyhow, they had little packing to do and were among the first to get their trunks on the elevator and to the bottom floor. Mr. Ammen got his mother's trunk out of the pUe and dragged It to the street and about half a block, when he was fortunate enough to get a wagon and-have it hauled to the railway station for about double usual rates. With the wagon he hurried back for Mrs. Manning's trunk, but it had disappeared, and he could not find It.

The driver, said Mr. Ammen, was either unusually, conscientious or did not know the value of his wagon at that moment, or he would have had to pay much more. One lady told him it had cost her $1 for each floor to get her, trunk from the fifth floor of her hotel to the street ancT the remainder of the way to the station In proportion. Fabulous prices were paid to drivers and to men for carrying baggage on their shoulders for a. short distance.

Mrs. Ammen and Mrs. Manning reaphed the station and waited there until the train ieft for Baltimore. There were many curious and foolish things done, said Mr. Ammen, as is usual at such fires.

At the Stickney, he said, a number of men were carefully carrying out barrels full of ordinary chinaware, and one was seen bringing out a cheap window sash. The fire burned with great rapidity because the buildings were largely of wood and on account of the high wind. One curious feature was that Young's Pier was not burned at the land end of it, but the flames leaped over some wooden buildings at that end and burned out a section in the middle of the pier. Miss Charlotte Lntrobe Comes Home Miss Charlotte Latrobe, daughter of ex-Mayor Ferdinand C. Latrobe, was one of those who fled yesterday by the 5 o'clock train from'Atlantic City.

Mr. Harris (Kan.) then offered his amend-menfiilaclng a tax of 10 cents a pound on adulterated butter, and a tax of one-quarter of one cent a pound on process or renovated butter and providing regulations for the collection of the taxes. It was adopted 44 to 26. Vest's Objection To Mr. Vest declared the bill is not Intended as revenue measure and he challenged any Senator to say that it was.

The measure, he said, Is simply parliamentary assassination of one industry by another. The verbal amendments suggested by Mr. Foraker earlier in the session were adopted. An amendment offered by Mr. Harris was agreed to providing that wholesale dealers who vend no other oleomargarine or butterine except that on which a tax of one-fourth of-a cent a pound is laid shall pay $200 and retail dealers of the same $6.

Mr. Money, on behalf of the minority of the Committee on Agriculture, offered a substitute for the bill. It was rejected 29 to 39.

Washington, April 3. The Senate bill to cromote the efficiency of the revenue cutter service passed the House today by a vote of 135 to 49. The opponents of the measure fought it to the last ditch. At the very end they attempted a fiUbuster, but were swept aside by the overwhelming majority in favor of the measure. The bill gives the commissioned officers of the revenue cutter service relative rank, as follows: Captains, with majors in the army and lieutenant-commanders in the navy; first lieutenants, with captains in the army and lieutenants in the navy; second lieutenants, with first lieutenants in the army and lieutenants (junior grade) in the navy third lieutenants, with second lieutenants In the army and ensigns in the navy.

It gives the officers of the service longevity pay equivalent to the corresponding rank in the army and provides for their retirement with, three-fourths pay for disability or upon reaching the age limit Of 64 years. Mr. Padgett the first speaker, opposed the measure, as did also Mr. Johnson (S. C).

Mr. Littlefield (Maine) made an earnest plea for its passage, declaring that the revenue cutter service is legitimately a part of the war arm of the Government. He said that service fired the first shot in the Civil War and in the War with Spain. It was the settled policy of the Government to retire officers of the army and navy, and he contended that the officers of the revenue cutter service who stood on the same footing in time of war should be entitled to the same privileges In regard to longevity pay and retirement. After some further remarks by Mr.

Sha-froth (Col.) against the bill Mr. Mann (I1L) closed for the opposition. He denied that the first gun in the Spanish-American War was fired by the revenue cutter service. The first gun, he said, was fired by the Spaniards at Manila because, through negligence aboard the revenue, cutter McCulloh, the burning out of that ship's smokestack gave notice of the approach of the American Mr. Hepburn (Iowa) closed the debate for the friends of the bill.

He scouted the Idea that the enactment of the pending bill would be the entering wedge for a civil pension list, and created laughter by his description of Mr. Mann; who, he said, wanted to fight all the time and everything. "If there is anything In the theory of the transmigration of souls," said he, "1' expect that at some future time the gentleman from Illinois will again appear on earth in the semblance of a mule with four legu, all in active operation at the same time." In conclusion he appealed to the House to pass the bill and dd tardy justice to the officers of the revenue cutter service. The bill was then read for amendment. A proviso was added to the first section providing that hereafter there shall be no Increase of the number of officers on the active list.

Another amendment was agreed to which provides that when naval and revenue cut ter vessels are thrown together the for mer never shall be under command of the commander of the latter, except by specific direction of the President, of the United States. Mr. Shafroth (Col.) moved to amend tfce section, providing for longevity pay equivalent to the corresponding rank in the army, so as to provide for longevity pay equiva lent to the corresponding rank in tne navy. He declared that the provision to make the longevity pay correspond to the army rank was to avoid the reduction or pay given naval officers when on shore duty. If revenue cutters received the same pay on shore as at sea, he said, at the next session naval officers will be clamoring for the same equality in their pay.

The amendment was defeated 76 to 89, Several other amendments were voted down. The only amendment adopted wns one providing that no longevity pay should accrueafter the retirement of an officer. A motion made by Mr. Mann to strike out the enacting clause was lost 44 to xQd. The opponents of the bill then began a nil buster.

Mr. Mann moved an adjournment, and on the vote 34 to 115 Mr. Under wood (Ala.) made the point of no quorum, but the Speaker counted 18 a quorum, Thereupon Mr. Mann moved to recommit the bill, but his motion was lost. The bill was passed 135 to.

49 and at G.tv Ciocx cue uonn aojouraejr OLEO BILL IS PASSED Senate Adopts House Measure In Amended Form. SENATOR, SCOTT AGAINST IT West Virg-Inian Tries Ineffectually To Have The Bill Recommitted And Satisfactory. Washington, April 3. At the conclusion of a lively debate today the Senate passed the Oleomargarine bill by a vote of 39 to 3L The discussion was largely in the nature of a reinforcement of arguments previously advanced. Mr.

John C. Spooner, of Wisconsin, made the principal speech, maintaining that Congress has ample authority to enact the proposed legislation because It is In the Interest of the people. In an earnest protest against the measure Mr. George of Missoul, held that Congress was Invading the powers of the States. Mr.

Nathan B. Scott, of West Virginia, moved to recommit the measure to the committee, holding that it was unsatisfactory to many Senators and ought to be The motion was defeated by 35 to 37. During the afternoon a flood of telegrams poured into the Senate from all parts of the country urging Senators either to support or oppose the measure. The measure passed by the Senate differs in some respects from that passed by the House. It provldel that oleomargarine and kindred products shall be subject to all the laws and regulations of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia Into which they are transported, whether Ib original packages or otherwise; that any person who sells oleomargarine and furnishes it for the use of others, except to his own family, who shall mix with It any artificial coloration that causes it, to look like butter shall be held to be a manufacturer and shall be subject to the tax pro-vlded by existing law; that upon oleomar.

garine colored so as to resemble butter a tax of 10 cents per pound shall be levied, but upon oleomargarine not colored the tax shall be one-fourth of 1 cent per pound; that upon adulterated butter a tax of 10 cents a pound shall be levied, and upon all process or renovated butter the tax shall be one-fourth of 1 cent per pound. The manufacturers of process or renovated or adulterated butter shall pay an annual tax of $600, the wholesale dealers shall pay a tax of 480 and the retail dealers a tax of $48 per annum. The measure provides regulations for the collection of the tax and prescribes minutely how the various products are to be prepared for market. Oleo "Laid On The Tahle." In presenting some petitions against the passage of the bill Mr. Kean, of New Jersey, laid before the Senate "a sample of oleomargarine." The Chair (Mr.

Frye) said the sample of oleomargarine would be laid on the table. Mr. Rawlins, of Utah, maintained that Congress -had no authority to regulate the police powers within the States. The bill could be sustained only on the exercise of the taxing power; yet, he said, not a Senator' would vote for the bill for the purpose of raising revenue. Under thl3 measure, he maintained, the dealer is not prevented from deceiving his customers, as the dealer will be able to Impose.

upon his customers the oleomargarine as butter, obtaining therefor bntter prices for the substitute product. In opposing the measure Mr. Teller ad. mltted that it would be regarded by the courts as a revenue measure and that they would hold that the tax was laid legally and properly. He regarded the biir as re- presslve in Its purposes and a tax on eon- sumption.

Mr. Foraker, of Ohio, said he conceded that oleomargarine Is a wholesome article of food, although he confessed that prior to the present debate his prejudices had been against the product. The measure was defective, In some particulars, in his judgment, and he advocated the adoption of some amendments he had proposed. One of his objections was that the bill placed every family In the land under the espionage of Government officers, and one of his amendments was to remedy that objection. His other amendment provided that no artificial coloring should be used in the manufacturing of oleomargarine.

As the bill stood, he pointed out, no oleomararlne could, be manufactured with Ingredients thai would Impart a yellow cast to the product. Bntter-Makers Of Mr. Penrose, of Pennsylvania, put himself on record as in favor of the bilL The inevitable consequence, he said, of the dominance of the oleomargarine industry would be to drive the butter-maker from the as his business would be unprofitable. Unless he supported the pending bill he would do violence to his convictions and to the great farming community which he" represented. Carmack, of Tennessee, In opposing the measure said the dairy interests of his State are greater even than the cottonseed oil Industry.

Notwithstanding that fact he regarded the bill as a piece of vicious legislationreally what oleomargarine was alleged to be a penal statute colored in imitation of a revenue law. Mr. Spooner said that It was Idle to suppose that the present Federal or State laws on the subject of oleoniargarine have been effective. In fact, the existing Federal law really has(been an aid in the defrauding of the consumer. Mr.

Spooner maintained that Congress has the pewer, which it frequently had exercised, to 'levy a tax on an article not merely for revenue, but for the general public welfare. He Instanced as a tax of that kind the tax of $10 a pound "5n opium used for smoking and the tax placed on lottery tickets. It is manifest, he contended, that those taxes are not levied for the purpose of raising revenue, but ex pressly for another and clearly evident Dnrnose. Mr. Money, of Mississippi, closed the gen eral debate on.

the bill, replying briefly to some of the points made by Mr. Spooner. Scott's Motion Lost. At o'clock Mr. Scott; of West Virginia, moved that the bill be recommitted to the committee.

His object was, he said, that the measure might be perfected because, as it stood.lt was unsatisfactory to many Sen ators. The motion was lost, 85 to 37, as follows: Yeas Messrs. Aldrich. Bacon. Bailey, Bate, Berry, Blackburn.
