Kr The house Democratic leaders are
undecided as to whether they" will
agree -to an adjournment upon thej
passage of the bill embodied in the
agreement adopted by the senate..
opeaKer ,uiarK expressed the cpin-
ion ..that congress would not nut un
the shutters until about September 1.
Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee refused to com
mit himself. He seemed to be of the
opinion that the Democrats Would, not
insist upon action by the senate on
the cotton revision bill, which will
probably be reported next week.
It is known that Mr. Underwood is
anxious for an adjournment immedi
ately upon the passage by the sen
ate of the reciprocity bill, the free
list and wool bills and the reappor
tionment bill. He has taken the .po
sition that the house Democrats can
afford to wait until the December ses
sion for action by the senate on the
cotton (revision bill and other tariff
measures.
Mr. Brantley and some other mem
bers of the ways and means commit
tee insist that the Democrats should
make their tariff record this summer!
They declare that now is the accepted
time. They point out that in the De
cember session there will be a tre
mendous volume of general legislation
aside from that tariff, and that ac
cordingly the ., attention of the house
will be diverted to some extent-from
proper -v consideration of measures in
amendment of the Payne-Aldrich law.
This question is now in conference
among the Democratic leaders. They
are far from an agreement. - The
chances are that the matter will be
submitted to a party caucus. .
. If the advice of Chairman Under
wood is followed, congress will quit
in August, about the time set by the
senate . leaders. Should the will of
those who are opposed to the views of
Mr. Underwood prevail, congress
would remain in session far into the
fall. Leader Underwood, with the
support of -the speaker, has generally
had his way. The speaker's sugges
tion that congress may be in session
until September 1 or therabouts, is
understood to be based on the view
that the house Democrats will insist
on action on the statehood bill, what
ever agreement may be reached be
tween the two houses on other meas
ures. -
Senator . Cummins, Insurgent" of
Iowa, after adjournment expressed
conviction that despite the program,
thfere would be general tariff revision
before the close. . He based . his be
lief on the fact that the Democrats
and Insurgents would stand totrether
and force amendments to the. free
list bill, adding wool, sugar, steel, cot
ton, etc., to that measure.- -
"At least we shall have legislative
revision before we adjourn." he said.
"I do not know what the president
will do, but we will give bim a
chance to speak for himself."

"GOING
HOODLUMS RUN ELECTIONS
hon:-L v
Atlantic jCity N. jj With the big
audience swayed to the tune of Dixie,
Speaker Champ Clark was introduced
to a record throng on the million dol
lar pier as the principal speaker be
fore the Christian Endeavor ' conven
tion. "There is no room in the . United
States for a pesismist or an idler,"
he declared at the outset. "Any one
who - misses two general elections
ought - to be disfranchised. Our fore
fathers did not fight so we could sit
at home. They wanted us to have
our own say at election.
"If I had one prayer that I was
sure to be answered, it would be that
every citizen should acquire sufficient
education to read- his own ballot and
cast it as an American . citizen should.
"Hoodlums run nine-tenths of our
elections, and the hoodlum who goes
out and votes is a better man than
the citizen who fails, to cast lis bal
lot. ' It is the duty of every Chris
tian citizen to take a hand in poli
tics. These fine-haired citizens who
say they are too busy to enter poli
tics are bad citizens. '
"The great question before the
American republic is the question of
good citizenship. I don't believe the
United States is going to the dogs,
ho matter whether a Republican or a
Democrat has the administration.
"The world in general . is growing
better and particularly our part of the
country. In my opinion we will soon
devise a scheme that will give labor
the benefit of its toil and keep riches
from a few greedy souls. Signs point
that the change is in sight and the
employer will soon share his profits
with his workmen. The pension sys
tem already in force on" most of-the
big railroads puts to blush the sys
tem maintained by the United States
government. - This is not the age of
controversial, but of practical relig'
ion:"

f Yashington. After secret-consider-of
charges made by Delegate
" sreham - of Alaska . that sAttorn.
General Tckersham elifeeaieiy per
mitted the .statute of 'limitations ; to
run .against agents of the Alaska syn
dicate who defrauded the government
through perjury to (the extent of $50,
000,, the house committee on judiciary
has determined to report favorably a
resolution of inquiry offered by Del
egate Wickersham.
The resolution would call upon the
attorney general to furnish the house
with all documents, affidavits and tes
timony in his possession relating to
an affidavit, submitted to ; him more
than a year ago, and sworn to by H.
J. Douglas, former ' auditor of the
Alaska syndicate in 1908.
Delegate Wickersham startled the
committee when Be produced a copy
of an affidavit relating to an alleged
criminal act committed by Capt. D.
H. Jarvis of the Alaska syndicate, and
formerly prominent in the government
revenue cutter service, who commit
ted suicide in Seattle on June 22, the
day following the introduction of the
Wickersham resolution, calling for
production of the papers in the case,
and by John H. Bullock of the Sesner
Coab company of New York. Through
connivance of these men, it was
charged the govwnment was defraud
ed on, coal contracts and evidence to
that effect was permitted to remain
unacted upon in the attorney gener
al's office for more than a year un
til the statute of limitations expired
last May. Delegate Wickersham fur
nished the committee with ptioto-
graphic copies of a letter an. attor
ney for the Alaska attorney to D. R
Jarvis admitting" the expenditure of
money to control government wit
nesses in the hazy murder trial in
1908, wherein an agent of the Alaska
syndicate was accused of murdering
laborers employed by rival interests
A photograph of ; an expense ac
count for $1,133.10 of M. B. Morris-
sey employed by the syndicate, it is
claimed, to entertain government wit
nesses and jurymen Jn that connec
tion also was submitted to the com
mittee. This evidence Delegate Wick
ersham declared, also is in the pos
session of the attorney general. Del
egate Wickersham urged on the judi
ciary committee the Douglas affidavit
involving the representatives of the
Northwestern Commercial company,
one of the" Alaska syndicate concerns,
and the Sesnor Coal company.
"On May 24, 1910," he said, "I sent
to Attorney General Wickersham a
copy of the affidavit, calling his at
tention to "the fact that the govern
ment had been defrauded of $50,000-
by perjury and a combination of these
two corporations in the sale of coal
to the government for miiltary post
in Alaska. I asked him to make an
investigation and prosecute those peo
pie for the crime committed in that
transaction. I received a letter of
acknowledgment May -31, 1910, and
we had considerable further eorer-
spondence and on July 13, 1911, more
than a year later, I received a letter
from the attorney general stating that
the statute of limitation had expired."

SECRETARY FISHER
TEI-LS INVESTIGATING BODY
"DICK TO DICK" LETTER
CAN'T BE FOUND.
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE
Says Department of Interior Will
" Probe Controller Bay
Scandal.
Washington. Secretary of the In
terior Fisher was the star attraction
when the house committee investigat
ing the Controller Bay scandal met.
Mr. Fisher told the committee that
the now famous "Dick to Dick" letter
was not iri the files of the interior
department, but if such a letter had
disappeared from the .files steps
would be taken to recover it.
"I have a deep' interest in this
question, in view of the two points
involved. First, .whether anything
has been done that, the commitee has
learned of which will jeopardize the
public interests in Alaska that is, if
anything' has been- done in my de
partment which could be y rectified
now. I want to' learn; of these i things.
because it might be expedient . for
diate action " -
"The second point in which we are
interested concerns : a A letter, the' ex
istence of which, in my- department,
has been suggested by stories . said
to have been circulated by a Miss
M. F. Abbott. . .. . . '
"We have searched the records in
the department; and have been unable
to locate such a letter. ;;We ; are par
ticularly anxious to get all the infor
mation possible about this letter, be
cause if any such document has; dis
appeared we . will take steps to re
cover it."
Secretary Fisher asked that Miss
Abbott be placed on the stand as
early as possible. He told the com
mittee that his department copies all
documents relating to the Controller
Bay affair to carry out the provisions
of Senator Poindexter's resolution,
which calls for, these papers to be
presented to the senate.
Chairman Graham requested Sec
retary. Fisher to send to the commit
tee a duplicate of the copies being
made for; the senate.
"It is my earnest desire," declared
Mr. Fisher, "to help ) this committee
in every possible way- We have no
desire to protect anybody, Dr . with
hold any information from this com
mittee." Secretary Fisher then gave a de
tailed statement of the location of the
Controller Bay lands, describing the
ithree -entries made by Richard S.Ry-
an, which, it has been alleged, Ryan
took up for the Guggenheim-syndicate.-
