The Pjainta Discussed.
the points contended and dis
hy the commission In Its report
arc these -
'Congress has the const! tutioiml power
a pass this proposed legislation. It Is
a regulation af interstate and foreign
roesanrrce. It does not constitute a de-
nial of due process. The common law
system af employers- liability based upon
iMaiigrnce k fiUed with evils and mt-on-gruJtlea
and wasteful and "the greater
Proportion of the monev paid in aet.s-
iaetton gees Into the pockets of coun-
el ho exact their compensation In the
form af exorbitant contingent feea and
tm- various ways is consumed in pass-
ing from the company's treasury to tha
raad of the employe or dependent."
The proposed statute is not objection-
able because It includes employes not
ea cased in the hazardous part of em-
ptoj usust The law would be compul-
sory gome into operation irrespective

ceverea Dy it.

WASHTNQTON. Febraary M.
tary of Agrleottara Wilson today denied
authorship of a letter wmoh baa bean
widely circulated by ana of tha compa-
nies exploiting lands In the Florida ever-
glades. The advertisement headed "Secretary
Wilson's Opinion." was credited to tha
"East Coast Home Seekers of June" the
year not being given. Tha purported
letter follows:
"Thar Is no other large body of land
anywhere in the I'nlted States. In fact
anywhere else In the world which when
the drainage is completed will be a
valuable as the once despised Kief glad) a
"Between three and four million acre
of rich alluvial land located In a climate
that Is almost absolutely perfect where
all crops ran be grown tha entire sea-
son through where there are no long
cold aimers no excessive heat In sum-
mer and no malaria ar other disease.
Florida World's Paradise.
"From the very nature of conditions
Florida becomes the paradise of the
whole world. There a careful thrifty
tiller of the soil can make more money
on ten or twenty acres of land than on
IS in the North or West. Te doubting
thousands who are standing pack await-
ing development will. In a few years see
their folly. There Is no other section of
the United States where the climate Is
so near perfection. There Is no other
section where the tiller of the soil re-
ceives such large rewards for labor. There
Is no other section of the Bute where the
opportunities for small capital are so
great and where In a few yean the small
man can have a home and competency."
"I have no recollection of having ever
written anything of this sort" mid Sec-
retary Wilson today. "This sort of
thing happens often and I win have to
stop it. as I have been forced to do
many times before. It Is not uncommon
to find my name and that of Dr. W0y
used without authority m advertise-
ments. Dr. Wiley's much oftenor than
mine because he Is more promtnant."
Inquiry Waa Resumed.
Inquiry Into tha department of agri-
culture's connection with tha Bvsp-
ghtdes was resumed today by tha hoose
committee.
J. C Wright new chief drainage en-
gineer of Florida admitted that be knew
in IMS of the alleged financial Irregu-
larities span which C. O. Elliott and
A. D. Morehouse recently were dis-
missed from the department but he did
not make the charges until s month ago.
Wright said ha told the facta to the
agricultural department after newspa-
per article had appeared In which C. O.
Elliott criticised him for part of the de-
lay In publishing the Everglades report.
"Didn't you think It your duty to re-
port . those Irregularities when you
learned of them In 1PM?" asked Henry
F. Davis attorney for Elliott and Vfore-
hooe. "I was In the government serv-
ice then and I did not want to make
charges against a superior officer." said
Wright.
Matter f Retaliation.
'"But when these alleged quotations of
Mr. Elliott appeared you made your
charges to tha agricultural department
as a matter of retaliation T" "Not re-
taliation hot self-protection."
Attorney Davis sought to develop what
connection Senator Fletcher of Florida
had with the preparation of senate doc-
ument I. supposed to contain all of the
official report on the Everglades.
Wright admitted that the department'
Everglades report as It appeared In the
senate document was not the report ss
finally prepared by Chief fn linear EI-
llott. Senator Fletcher he said had turned
the galley proof of tfala report over to
him. Weight made the original report
to the department which Elliott revised.
He testifledvfhst ha rewrote portions of
the report to restore it as nearly to the
original as be could remember and that
It waa In this shape that It appeared in
the senate doeamsnt
Senator Fletcher sud
Representative Clark brought Senator
Fletcher to his feet whan be asksd
Wright about a conference between the
senator Wright and former Governor
Jennings at which the Wright report as
revised by Elliott waa restored to Its ori-
ginal form.
"There has been an effort" said Sana-
tor Fletcher "to crests an Impression
that there was some special In tar eat to
be served by the publication of that
document by tha sensts. There Is no
feanraapea. for any such imputation."
There has beast no Imputations" Mr.
Clark replied "and I don't sea say excuse
for the sraatsr am king a speech at this
time. There ran ha no objection to the
senator taking tha stand sad testifying
but the record ought ta bs held down to
facts."
Representative Biggins sugreated that
there had been Intimations that farmer
Governor Jennings was is partnership
with the land promoters. .
"Is that true senator r asked Kr.
Clark. "I'll take your word for It." .
"I really could not any whether be is
or not" said Senator Fletcher. "I don't
know anything about it."

Monument Bill HsM Up.
The senate today mads effectual use
of the Stephenson election cass ta pro-
vent consideration of tha b01 authorising
erection of a Confederate monument In
the-National military park at Vickaborg.
Miaa. The bill occupies second place on
tha senate business calendar and Sena-
tor Williams of Mississippi wss pro-
pared to move oonaideratlon.
Since the sharp tilt of tan days ago be-
tween Senators Williams and Haytrorn
over that measure a number st senators
have felt that too much sectional feeling
had been displayed to permit It to coma
up again. The Stephenson case supplied
the only available material for obstruc-
tion. No senator desired to speak on It
but 'the voluminous reports wars called
Into play and their reading occupied al-
most the entire session and waa not
concluded when the senate adjourned.
Senator William accepted tha situation
philosophically. Mr. Heyburn will call tap
the Stephenson case tomorrow In hope oi
getting a day named for a vote.
Executive Order Nullified.
Democratlo members of the house post-
office committee decided today to Incor-
porate In the postofflce appropriation bile
a provision nullifying the executive order
of November ft 1110 prohibiting govern-
ment employe from advocating legisla-
tion before congress. Representative
I.lovd of Missouri soon will offer a meas-
ure granting permission to all government
employes to Join labor organisations and
to petition congress for redress of
wrongs.
Must Furnish Car Dimensions.
Railroads are reoulred bj an order Is-
sued by the Interstate commerce com-
mission today to furnish shippers cars
of the dimensions ordered within six days.
If larger cars should be furnished st the
expiration of that period the charges) for
transportation shall be exacted on the
basis of ttx minimum weight of the
smaller cars. By this order shipper vrill
be protected - from excessive charges
through tha use of cars larger than are
necessary for the shipments.

cel post on their routes without extra

Agreed to Chemical Bill.
The democratic rl.emlcsl tariff revision
bin was agreed to without change in the
house tonight when the committee of the
whole concluded work on the measure.
No final vote was taken but the bill will
be passed at the beginning of tomorrow'
session.
An agreement was reached between Re-
publican Leader Mann and Democratic
Leader Underwood to defer the final vote
until that time so not to interfere with
President Taft's reception tonight. No
amendments were put into the bill al-
though tbe republicans offered many and
got some democratic support.
Tha day'a debate took a facetious turn
when Mr. Mann charged that the bill in-
creased the duty on ranlla snd cited the
fact that tha duty on vaotla beans bad
been raised.
Representative Harrison of New Tork
who had charge of the me sure for the
democrats retorted thst ordinary vaaila
was derived from cloves and bad actually
been reduced In the bill.
Mr.- Mann made an attack upon the
soap section and declared thst the demo-
crats bad raised the duty on ingredients
on common soaps.
The chief attack on tbs measure wss
based on the democratic plan of raising
the duties on raw materials and lower-
ing duties on finished article.
It it our contention" said Repre-
sentative Harrison "that the revenues
should be taken out of the large profits
of the manufacturer and that thl should
not be passed onto the consumer In the
shape of s rslseVln pricss."
Mr. Harrison justified an. increase in
the duty on lemon juice snd lime Juice
by saying theae article were chiefly used
in soda fountain drinks.
It Is expected the bill will draw few re-
publican progressive votes when it passes
the house tomorrow because of the ad-
mitted increase in many iter's.
