CONGRESS IT IT: AGAIN

mainder: of the Session.
Prue FIGHT 011 INCOME TAX.
Sixteen Speeches Against “Appropriation
For Its Collection W'ill
In the Senate~Routine “fork
of Both
.e Delivered
Branches.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ~1.—Congress reas-
sembled today after the holiday recess, and
it is presumed the sessions will now con-
tinue right along until March 4 at noon.
If the programme is to be carried out,
much legislation will have to be crowded
into the 51 working days that still remain '
before the dissolution of the Fifty-third
congress.
Nothing of importance will be done this
week. The (hanccs are favorable for an
adjournment of the senate tomorrow until
Monday. Early in the session the Demo-
crats held a caucus and decided to take'ac-
tion upon legislative subjects involving
the admission of the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona. the establishment of
a. voluntary banin-uplmy act. the passage of
a resolution providing for an amendment
to the constitution looking to the election
of United States senators by the. people, the
revision of the currency system and the
Nicaragua canal bill.
Of those only the last named has been
considered, and it still maintains the place
of unfinished business. The bill may pass
one house. but its warmest friends do not
look for its enactment into law by the af-
firmative ecliou of both houses of congress
at this session. If the present policy of
the Republicans is continued. the vote on
the canal bill will not be had in tbcscuuto
for many days. This bill is being utilized
as a buffer to war-.1 off the measures that
would speedily come to the from; if the
pending measure were. out of the w-ry.
‘ Olin-r hlcusures.
There are other measures, however,
which the caucus did not indorsc that are
clamoring for attention, and some of these
may be pushed into prominent place. Of
course it looks as if only the pooling bill
could secure favorable action in the senate.
There has been some private discussion of
this subject in the senate, but the commit-
tee to which the bill was referred has not
yet held a. meeting. This is probably due
to the fact that two or three of tho promi-
nent members are just now engaged in
making their election as sure as possible
for the next term of six years. Until they
return no report will be made to the senate.
The Reilly bill to refund the debt of the
Pacific railroads, it is thought, will hard—
ly secure final action in the senate, though
the bill in the house is said to meet with
considerable approval there, and its friends
say it will pass. It is said that Speaker
Crisp and Mr. Catchings have agreed that
a rule shall be brought in giving two days
for the debate on this bill, with aprovision
for the taking of a vote upon it.
It will be remembered that during the
consideration of the tariff bill in the last
session the Republicans in their speeches
did not discuss the income tax on its mer-
lts. It was referred to only in the most
casual way, ,
- .To Fight Income Tax.
It is their intention when the urgent de-
ficiency bill comes before them to take up
this subject do novo and debate it upon its
merits, a. debate which they consider per-
fectly legitimate, now that, untrammeled
by other matters, the enforcement of a law
of this kind comes before them as an inde-
pendent proposition. Mr. Lodge will be in
charge of this fight, and it is said that he
has not less than 15 speeches on his list
that will be made by Republicans alone
against the principles of the income tax,
to say nothing of the attack that will be
made by Mr. Hill.
When it comes to voting. the Republic-
ans will support tbe appropriation. An-
otherzelemcnt of doubt in connection with .
the urgent deficiency bill is the attitude of
Messrs. Vest. Berry, Blackburn and oth-
ers, who have been cndcavoring to get'their
forces into line to demand the considera-
tion of so called “popgun” tariff bills,
and especially that repealing the differen-
tial duties on sugar and the discriminating
duty on refined sugars imported from Ger-
many. This may be attempted by a rider
tacked on to this appropriation bill. Such
a means for securing the desired end will
be opposed by leading Democrats, and
among them Mr. Cockrell himself, who
recognizes that such a motion would re-
open the entire tariff subject and endanger
the passage not only of-the deficiency bill,
but of every other appropriation bill.
In the Senate.
In the senate alter the presentation of
sundry resolutions and memorials Mr.
Sherman. from the committee on foreign
affairs. reported and the senate passed the
resolution heretofore introduced by Mr.
Lodge (Muss. ). calling on the president for
correspondence and other papers relative to
the delivery by the United States consul
at Shanghai of two Japanese citizens to
the Chinese authorities ; also asking for in-
formation as M whether the two Japanese
were put to dvzu‘h after being tortured;
further. whelhol- there was any under-
standing: wiih the Chinese government .
that ITniL’cd Sillliuzi officers should aid, as-
sist and give Filfu conduct- to any Japanese
citizens desiring to leave China.
Mr. Quay introduced a proposed amcud~
ment to the urgent deficiency bill, amend-
Ing the tariff law by striking out all pro-
vision for an income tax and substituting
a new woolen schedule, including a duty
on raw wool.
At 2 O’clock the senate resumed consid—
eration of the Nicaragua canal bill. Sen-
ator Morgan spoke.
The president sent to the senate :1. full
report of tho Blucficlds affair, comprising
all the correspondence rclatin g to lec sub-
iact. England’s backdown is complete.
In the House.
In thchousc after the call of committees
for reports Mr. Quigg (Hop. N. Y.) ut—
tempted to offer a rcsoluttion relating to
salaries in the New York postoilicc, but
Mr. Springer, in charge of the currency
bill, cut him off with a motion to go into
committee of the whole for the further con-
sideration of that bill. Accordingly the
house went into committee, Mr. Richard-
son- (Dem., Tenn.) in the chair, and Mr.
Black (Dem., Ga), 3 member of the bank-
lng and currency committee, took the floor
in favor of the bill.
The debate started sluggishly. Mr.
Black denied at the outset that the bank-
lng and currency committee had heard
only national bankers while considering
the pending measure and had turneda
deaf ear to all‘others. He met and parried
other criticisms of the opponents. of the
bill and gave a historical review 'of the
financial doctrines of Democratic presi-
lents from Jefferson to Cleveland. _

of the acts of bribery he confessed to haw
ing committed. ’l‘hc captain’s confession
was made before the I.c.\'ow committee off-
or the supposed assurance that he would
not be prosccan'l (1.
Today all wa-zc awaiting a reply to a
long telegram Lawyer llowa sent to Sena-
tor chow. To the best of the lawyer’s
recollect-ion the telegram was as follows:
“Schmittberger gave his testimony upon
the pledge of the slate of New York to pro-
tect him. The statute says that any one
who shall testify before your committee
shall not be prosecuted or sued in any
matter, criminal or civil, and on that con-
dition Schmittberger gave his testimony
that he had received money from Forget.
Now, the district attorney, notwithstand-
ing all the agreements that were bad, pro-
poses to put Schmittberger on trial. How
can he do this in fairness and honesty
when your committee pledged protection
to him?”
Lawyers Uneasy.
No reply has been received, and the law—
yers are unaasy. Howe says that the morn-
ing that Schmittberger took the witness
chair he saw Mr. God. The counsel of the
committee and Assistant District Attor-
ney Lindsay, who has charge of indict-
ments, both assured the lawyer that if
Schmittberger would go upon the stand
and tell of police corruption he would not
be prosecuted under the indictment which
had been found against him.
“ The whole thing is a shame—a. crying
shame—an outrage, ” said Howe in his
most emphatic manner. .
Captain Schmittberger said that be had
not yet heard that he was to be tried on
Monday. “I understood and I think ev-
erybody understood that Iwas granted im-
munity from prosecution because of the
confession. I made.”
Recorder Gofl was noncommittal when
questioned about the Schmittberger trial.
He said that it was manifestly improper
for him to say anything about the case.
He would not say that immunity had
been promised Schmittberger and would
not admit that he knew that the captain
was to be brought to trial.
Immunity ‘Vas Promised.
Lawyer llummel told a reporter today
that Messrs. Golf and Moss and each mem-
ber of the chow committee had promised
Schmittberger immunity in case he'htold
What be In 'v.
Schmitt‘. urger, Mr. Hummel said. had
nofibeen ad . ised to confess by his lawyers.
He was confident the case would never
come to trial, as to break faith in such a.
matter would be to discredit any further
investigating committee with men ,who
. had a desire to serve the ends of justice by
confessing.
Mr. Hummel said he would go before
Judge Ingraham on Monday and place
the matter in the proper light and felt
sure a decision in Schmittbergcr’s favor
would be rendered.
Dr. Parlrhurst’s Reorganization Plan.
Dr. Parkh urst said today:
“I wish to have it distinctly understood
that the only way in which we can effect a.
suitable reorganization of the police do-
partment is through the legislature. It
has the power to legislate the department
right out of existence and supplant it with
a. respectable organization.”
While Dr. Parkhurst would not no-
knowledge it, because he said he could
not tell anything about the plans of his
society, he did not deny the inference that
the society would shortly make an assault
upon the legislature for the passage of such
a measure. Continuing, he said:
” Five good men should be selected to
reorganize the force. I would not have any
of them taken from within this police de-
partment or that of any other city. They
should be simply courageous, honest and
able men, conversant in a general way
with police business, but having had no
experience in it.
“Citizens of integrity and brains, they
will certainly be able to pass upon the
moral and mental qualifications of appli-
cants. and that is all they will have to do.
I certainly should not suggest any one
from the present department for that po-
sition, for why go to the most Corrupt po-
lice force in the world, except that of Con-
stantinople, and seek reform?
But One Commissioner.
“There, should be but one permanent
commissioner. He should not be a police-
man either, simply a man of integrity
and administrative ability. The ideal
way would be to have his office and that
of superintendent identical, but that is
not quite practicable.
“Then for the superintendent I should
like to see a good. sterling graduate of
West Point. He would be just the man.
He could command discipline and make
the force of his character felt throughout
the ranks, and that is everything that is
required in that position, excepting, of
course, marked executive ability.
“In making up the rank and file I
should give preference to the honest mem-
bers of the present force, because a. man
who has gone through all its rottenness
and has come out unsmirched is certainly
a marvel. A force made up in such a way
would be the ideal one, and we must have
the ideal.
“To accomplish this end will, of course.
require continuous and bitter fighting.
Our chief fear lies in the men who try to
. make capital out of their positions of pub-
lic trust—men who try to feather their
own nests ”

Murderer Lambert’s Stay of Execution
Was Served Just In Time. '
i
PREPARATIONS HAD BEGUN.
In Less Than Half an Hour the Assassin
\Vould Have Been Executed—~Semple’s
Novel Plea For His Client—~Claims
He Is Legally Dead.
CAMDEN, N. J ., Jan. 4,—A half hour
before the time set for the execution of
Theodore Lambert in the county jail today
a stay of proceedings, granted by Judge
Shims in Washington, until March 4, was
served on Sheriff Barrett. At that time a.
score of witnesses had assembled to wit-
ness the execution. Notice of the stay
was given Lambert by his counsel, Law-
yer Scmple. The condemned man fell to
the floor in a faint, from which he recov-
ered in a few minutes by the aid of a stim-
ulant. He fell into a second faint, in
which he remained for nearly five min-
utes. On being revived he shouted,“Glory
to God I” and then fell on the neck of his
counsel. kissing him.
Lambert’s mind has been temporarily
turned by his good fortune. Since learn-
ing that he has at least two months more
to live he has not been able to talk intel-
ligently. He shouts and sings by turns.
County Physician J ones has him under
treatment.
After leaving the jail Lawyer Semplc
went to Lambert’s home, where his moth-
er was awaiting the news of her son’s ex-
ecution, the lawyer having previously
promised to come to her immediately after
it had taken place. When he entered, she
cried: “Is be dead yet? I thought he
would not be hanged until 10 o’clock. ”
When told the story, she fell like a log on
the floor. A physician had to be called to
restore her to consciousness. She went at _
once to the jail with the lawyer, and the
mother and son were permitted to have
their meeting alone. The scene was affect-
ing. Mrs. Lambert refused to leave the
cell of her son, and she was allowed to re-
main with him. '
sempie’s Unique Contention.
Lawyer Semple’s eflorts to save his
client's life have been extraordinary. He
claims that Lambert is legally dead. The
date first set for his execution was Dec. 13.
Lawyer Semplc asked fora reprieve, which
the governor at first refused, on the ground
that he had no power in the case, as the
30 days’ limit from the time of his convic-
tion had expired. Lawyer Semple claimed
that conviction dated from the time of sen-
tence and not from the time of the render-
ing of the verdict, in which case the time
since sentence was only 20 days. The mat-
ter was referred to the attorney general.
and he took the same view of the case as
held by Sémple. The reprieve was then
granted. After Dec. 13, the day on which
Lambert was to be executed had passed,
Lawyer Semplc took the opposite ground
that conviction did not date from sentence,
but from the time of the rendering of the
verdict. As the day set for the execution
had passed, Lambert was legally dead.
He exhausted every means provided in
New Jersey to save his client on the tech-
nicality a fortnight ago and then appealed
to the federal courts, raising the same point
which had been dismissed in the New Jer-
sey courts. He went before J udgc Dallas
in Philadelphia yesterday, but was refused
the application for a wirt. He next went
to Washington and called on Justice Shiras
of the supreme court and was referred
back to Judge Dallas. He remained in ,
Washington, however, and shortly before
12 o’clock succeeded in having the stay
granted. He took a midnight train and
reached hero early this morning, but did
not serve the writ on the sheriff until 9:30
o’clock. '
Lannbert's Cowardly Crime.
The crime for which Theodore Lambert
came so near paying the death penalty to-
day was the murder of William G. Kairer,
a wealthy Camden baker, on the morning
of Dec. 4. 1893. Baker Kairer resided
with a married son at 429 Beckett street,
Camden. The son and his wife occupied
the second story front room, and the fa-
ther slept in the second story back'room.
On the morning of Dec. 4, 1893, young
Kaircr was awakened by some one trying
to open his door. He arose and came face
to face with a. man in the hallway. The
latter started down stairs, with young
Kairer following him. The 0.. “v TC-rrirer
was awakened by the noise niece by his
son and the intruder and came out into
the hallway as the two men were rushing
down stairs. He followed the men down,
but the burglar had escaped out the back
door. Kairer and his son did not go out-
side, but locked the kitchen door and be»
gun to look around to see if anything had
been stolen. Finding everything intact,
they were about to go back to bed when
the venetian blinds in the parlor were
pushed open and three shots were fired.
Mr. Kairer and his son were standing in
the dining room, which is immediately in
the rear of the parlor and separated from
that room by heavy curtains. As the-last
of the three shots was fired Mr. Kairer fell
back into his son’s arms and died without
uttering a word. One of the bullets had
passed through his heart.
Lambert was arrested, but all efforts to
secure a confession from him failed until
two months later, Feb. 5. when be con-
fessed that he had committed the murder.
