MR. SIMMONS A MEMBER OF WATERWAY'S COMMISSION He Is More Than Ever Impressed With Possibilities of His Own Coun try, in Light of His Trip. Special to The Gazette-News. Washington, D. C, Oct. 20. Sena tor F. M. Simmons, who Is a keen ob aeryer, talks most interestingly of his ten weeks trip abroad, which he made as a member of. the Important Na- tlonal Waterways Commission. There were five senators, and as many mem bers of the house of representatives, in the party, and their itinerary in cluded the principal Europeun coun tries. Their objective was the great transportation streams and canals in Europe, which they traversed as the guests of the foreign governments. In every country they visited they were shown every courtesy and at tention, and the visitors were thus given special opportunity for study and observation. The trip was unus ually attractive for this reason. Senator Simmons proved himself a good sailor, a frightful storm was en countered on the return aboard the St. Louis. The commander of the ship admitted that the storm was the most severe he had weathered In many years. Passengers were coflned to their state rooms for days, and most of them made fearfully sick. The vessel pitched to surh an extent that Senator Simmons said he felt as If he Here standing on his head while re , fllnlng In his berth. In a moment - "t"" ahlp .would: "Come tip, "nnd he would appear to be standing on nis feet. Throughout the trying expe rience the senator did not feel the slightest Illness, while his traveling (ompanlon, Senator Galllnger, stif ered all the discomfiture of sea sick ness; Impressed With Germany. . In response to the question what country impressed him most during his travels abroad. Senator Simmons unhesitatingly replied, "Germany." "The Germans," observed Senator Simmons, "Impressed me as a smart and progressive people. They are both aggressive and progressive along all lines of industry and agriculture. They are a most contented people. They seemed to be more advanced In the science of living and working out their fortunes than the people of the other countries we visited, and they appeared to be the most happy of the foreign nations. Germany is a won ' derful commercial nation, nnd the people have made the most of their opportunities bs farmers." "Did you see anything of royalty?" Crowned Heads Not at Home. "No." aald the senator, "the crowned heads were not at their cap itals at the time we visited them. We were entertained by the Ameri can Ambassadors In Germany, France and England. "His Majesty's Gov ernment" tendered the commission a banquet in London through repre sentative officials, and a banquet was also given the party by Lord Bhut tleworth, the head of commerce In England. In all of the countries we visited the governments dlspatphed leading engineers to assist us and we were furnished with all necessa ry information concerning water transportation. We were also pro vided with government boats to make trips over navigable streams, anu most of the forolgn countries provid ed us with special trains to make our trips to water points." Renotnr Simmons WIS not much Imnnuiul with foreign railroads, which in most countries he visited are government ownled. Foreign railroads do not begin to compare with American railroads In his opin ion. They do not give anything like our service, and do not rurnisn pas. sengers anything like the conven iencea that prevail on American rail mads. While Senator Simmons trav elled first-class, he went in the thlrd- clasa compartments out of curiosity, and noticed that the passengers who travelled br the cheapor system en joyed the luxury of the soft side of a bench. Of course a fare could relieve the situation by carrying his own cushion, but it seems that this custom does not prevail. ' - . The Investigation Started. Tha Waterways Commission started its Investigations In Germany, begin nlng the middle of August The Spree and the Havel, two great streams of commerce were Visited and also the Intersecting canals. From Berlin the commission went to Vienna, m Austria a trip was made on the Danube to Budapest Sever al days were spent In Hungary, which Senator Simmons says is the best farming country In some respects that he observed while abroad. He fell In love with Hungary for two reasons. He saw there growing corn, which reminded him of North Carolina, and , the climate was sufficiently warm to permit him to shed his overcoat. At all other times he was abroad he ottired just a he Is In winter In North Cnrnllna. A trio on the , , (Continued OD page I.) 'VTHEANTIPODES ".-. i Houses and Shipping in Hong Kong and .

REED FOLLOWED GRAVE CHARGES An Affidavit Filed with Postoffice Department That Former Biltmore Postmaster Tried to Bribe Mr. Grant, Is Today's Startling Disclosure She Says Mr. Grant Told Her . Office Holders Must "Come Across;" She Replied She Would Do Her Part. CURRENT political developments, which have attracted more or less attention of late, paled Into Insignificance today alongside of new and fresher disclosures. The fact has been ascertained that the removal of Mrs. Heed as pout master at Blltmore was made possi ble, not by ron bo n of the exigencies of a peculiar political situation, not. as has been assumed, through the kind ly intervention of the Hon. Frank H. Hitchcock, but the much desired end (an end considered necessary by the Grant forces) was achieved by the secret Mini? against Mrs. Reed of grave charges. To be exact, the specific charge was made, in the form of an affidavit, that Mrs. Iteed had attempted to bribe Congressman Grant: that an attempt had been made te secure his inlluence through a money consideration. A letter has been received by Ashevillv friends of Mrs. Iteed from a member of congress, who sought at the de FERRER A MARTYR, Executive Council of American Feder ation of Labor, at Washington, Adopts Some Resolutions. Washington, Oct. '.'0. Resolutions fiercely denouncing the ''murder" of Francisco Ferrer, the Spanish revolu tionists who was recently condemned by court martial and shot In ltnruc- onn, were adopted at yesterday's ses sion of lite executive council of the American Federation of Lubor. 'We, on our personal behalf, as well as In the namo of America's workers and the whole people," the resolution declares, "express our Intense Indig nation, horror, und our strongest pro test agnnst tihe murder of Francisco Vrrer by direction of the Spanish government." Taken In connection with the ac tion of the Supreme court of the Dis trict of Columbia in sentencing I'res- ilent Oompers, Secretuary Morrison and John' Mitchell of the American federation of iJtbor to serve terms III ail for contempt of court, the con- iuding paragraph of the resolution s looked upon hero as significant. The Resolution. The resolution declares that "we take this occasion of the military murder of a man whose real offending was speaking, writing and teaching humanity to become more wise, mori free and more liberty loving to re mind the people of our own country that the liberty of the citizen Is only secure when tried by Jury In open court for any alleged offenso Involving punishment Is guaranteed." The resolutions go on to declare that the cause of free speech, and free education has found In Ferrer a mar tyr, the more regrettable In an age when civilisation boasts of having re placed the tortures and brutality of medlaevallsm by toleration and free dom and enlightenment." The belief then Is expressed that Professor Ferrer will runk with all those who have done tho greatest service for humanity. "A noble com pany of martyrs and a cntise In which a man might well give hla life," the resolutions continue, "did tyranny re quire it. As Jefferson, Washington and Lincoln of our own country, ne taught and suffered that the people might have wisdom and be worthy of freedom," I In its preamble to the resolutions, the executive council declares that the execution of Professor Ferrer has aroused tho strongest indignation of all Just, lllierty-lovlng and broad minded people of the civilised world, Test 'Children In Flats" Iw. , Chicago, Oct. 20.

' Mrs. Kretl Deeply Grieved. At the present n.i.ment Mrs. Reed Ih grieved beyond sxprcsslon over the affair, and thequestion her friends are asking is: Who filed those charges against which, as before stated, she has never had an opportunity to de fend herself?

In the course of that conversation Mr. Grant, she says, call ed her attention to the fact that she had failed to contribute to his cam paign, adding that "all the officehold ers huve got to come across." To this Mrs. Reed said she replied that she was willing to do her part, and direc t ed the congressman's attention to the fact that Bhe had only received a cir cular letter asking for a campaign contribution, and this was from the state cbalrmnn. Not by word or deed did Bhe Intimate her desire to pur chase his support, she says, and it Ik pointed out by Mr. Keed'S' friends that It had Hot occurred to her that such a thing was necessary, since it would have been natural for her to assume that. In recommending a post master for Itlltinore, the congressman would lie guided by the expressed wishes of a majority of the patrons of the office.

He referred to the reference to the changed attitude of the Ainer- lean people towards the Indiana dur ing the la- 30 years, since he became . Indian commissioner.

One of the principal speakers at the Lake .Mohonk conlereiice for friends of tho Indiana and other dependent neoole. today, was It. G. Valentine, commis sioner of Indian affairs. Mr. Valentine said in part: "The people of the United States ought to know certain things about their Indian bureau. They know to day too little about the two or three fundamental principle In the light of which all the multiform activities of the Indian service fall Into well-ordered array In an advance toward a slnule troul. In the mlnrii nf mnat leople the Indian service la a mere hodge-podge of activity. Indians are going to this or that kind of a school, being allotted, raising stock, working In the woods, learning to Irrigate, drawing per capita, payments In some cases ami rations In others, owning bank accounts of all sixes from a few dollars to many thousands, going to church and engaging In pagan rites, dealing shrewdly with traders or be conilnir an ensv murk for thnm. devel oping all kinds of diseases, getting drunk and even keeping sober, loafing and making some of the beat work men the United States possesses. All these various activities are kept In further confusion by the kaleidoscopic changes introduced by the rapidly de veloping economic and social life nf Hie white people scattered mora and more around and through the Indian country, "This apparent chaos In Indian af fairs is only true superficially. It la necessary for the people at large to understand what the fundamental principles governing the bureau are lu order to assist In bringing them to the surface und to demand of the In dian bureau and of congress their In telligent und forceful application." WI(lcOwn for Inspection. Continuing. Mr. Valentine aald that the Indian service was today wide open to the whole country for Inspec tion. He said It was Impossible for him to hear and see all the good and all the bud III the service personally, and that It was necessary for con gress to give him to this end a corps or 30 competent inspectors with the necessary qualifications. Real super intendents also were needed. These superintendents should be big' men, for Indian affairs above all la a nu- , man business, nnd to get good men uileiiiiate salaries must be paid. It Is possible to do only two thlngl with the Indians." Mr. Valentine went on, "to exterminate them or make them Into cltlxens. Our present couree Is a cross lictwven extermination and cltlxensblp. If we would escape a dis grace greater than any which has at tended this Indian business yet we must stop at the beginning of this twentieth century and think clearly about the Indians and set Ourselves resolutely to certain clean and high courses. The whole American people must do this thinking, and this course which the thinking or all tha people will make clear demands of us more than would be demanded in the case or the backward among our own peo ple, or in the case of the Immi grant." Not Ready for It Mr. Valentine then declared that the Indian today waa not yet ready to live under a perfectly constructed and highly developed Irrigation system. He must first be given Instruction from which he can see results, and In this way in one year many Indiana could be taught to use a highly devel oped Irrigation system, who without that preliminary training would for ever fall. The commissioner ; then touched upon the health of the 800,000 Indiana In the United States. He aald that tuberculosis and diseases of the blood should not be permitted to creep In among those peoples, and that liquor must bo kept away from them, what Is the use of a maimed and poisoned cltlsen, he asked. There ahould be an unexcelled Indian medical service. Referring to education, Mr. Valen tlhe aald all Indiana ahould be taught to speak the English language, to read easily, to apeak objectively, to' (Contlnata. on page 4.) Mil T
