SENATE ACCEPTS DACE; PASS BILL

Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas in Sensational Speech. CONSIGNS JOHN 0. TO HADES * Opposed Bill Giving Right of Way Through Public Lands in His State to Oil Pipe Line—Assails Senator Owens. Washington, Feb. 18. — Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas, dared the senate to pass a bill giving the right of way through public lands in his state to an oil pipe line extending from the oil fields of Oklahoma to tidewater at the gulf. He said the bill was in the interest of the Standard Oil company. The senate not only accepted the challenge, but passed the measure with only the vote of the Ozark senator in opposition. In the course of his speech Senator Davis took occasion to consign John D. Rockefeller to hell and charged that Senator Owen of Oklahoma was connected with Standard Oil. The charge the senator from Oklahdma indignantly denied and there resulted between the two statesmen one of the bitten est personal colloquys that has taken place in the senate since the passage between Senators Tillman and MeLaurin of South Carolina, which ended in blows. Senator Davis said: “We don’t want Standard Oil in Arkansas. The only place I would consent to for the construction of a pipe line to carry oil and gas of the Standard Oil company would be straight from here to hades. And I would like to have John D. Rockefeller, the old he-trust magnate of them all, there to receive it. Let it sweep around him; let its flames engulf him because sooner or later that result will happen." Turning to Senator Owen, the senator from Arkansas said he had been Informed that the senator from Oklahoma has some business connection with the Prairie Oil company, a subsidiary concern of the Standard. ' Pale with anger, Senator Owen retorted: “The Impudent statement of the senator is without any foundation." i, ' (

The Weather. Illinois—Fair and warmer today unsettled tomorrow.
