DON ! KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT
Congress Paralyzed By Roosevelt's Message? Mem
bers Wont Talk? Governor Hughes Approves?
Chancellor Day Says He's Crazy.
(United Preee Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Washington, Feb. 1 ? Members of congress have almost
nothing to say regarding the message of the presideut re
lating to ihe Standard Oil company. Most of them are
slow in making up their minds as to how to take it.
There are features of the message that attract parti
cular attention in addition to those directed at the Standard
Oil. The president especially decries the growing habit
within the circle of prosecutting attorneys, to grant
immunity to rogues in consideration for some information
calculated to get a conviction and to make a scape goat of
some less guilty member of a ring of rogues.
He declares in so many words his intention of going
after th" wealthy, who may be convicted of wroug doing,
and of seeing that they go to jail. He denies that the ad
ministration was in any degree responsible for the recent
panic but insists that leading financiers banded together
with the purpose of creating the conditions then existing.
HUGHES STANDS BY ROOSEVELT
New Xork, Feb. 1 ? Governor Hughes in an address be
fore a vast audience called t )gether under the auspices of
the Young Men's republican club, last night, spoke in un
qualified approval of President Roosevelt's policy of fight
ing the corporations to a complete finish where they insist
on violating the law. He also stands with Roosevelt in his
[opposition to giving immunity to criminals and in his finan
cial policy. The utterance is very important, being the
first public expression of the governor's views on public
questions.
