SARGENT STANDS ' BY CONG. WATSON Ex-head of Railroad Brotherhood Says Congressman Is for Labor.

BEAUTIFUL CALIFORNIA NIGHTINGALE HAS MOST REMARKABLE OPERATIC VOICE. Commissioner Smith vs. Tits Standard Oil Go. from the Railway World, January 3, 1908.

HAS EXCELLENT RECORD.

SIXTH DISTRICT MAN'S FIRM STAND FOR LABOR IS ILLUSTRATED IN HIS ACTIVITY FOR PASSAGE OF SEVERAL BILLS. Washington. Jan. 1!t. Following :s Ice letter, mentioned in the dispatche3.' which Frank Sargent, chief of the Bureau of immigration and Naturalization, addressed to some of his old-time railroad associates in Indiana, who made inquiry regarding Mr. Watson's labor record in connection with his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor of Indiana: The Hon. James Eli Watson, member of congress for the Sixth district of Indiana, has a record which, in niv humble opinion, places him as one of the staunch supporters of measures which have been created for the protection, advantage and lasting benefit of the people classed an "labor." and familiarly termed "organized labor." ami through whose influence congress lias been urged to enact such measures Into laws for their benefit, and I have been very much surprised in learning that claims have been made that Mr. AVatson is an enemy to labor; that he in not. loyal to the interests of labor, nnd for that, reason he should not receive recognition by the labor repiemativrs of his district and his state. It was my good fortune to spend ten year in Indiana, and during that period I knew something of Mr. Watsou. Since he has been in congress I have had further opportunities of knowing him as a representative of his district and in the interests of the common people. I find upon the examination of the records of congress that he has always been active in the support of measures that are today upon our statute books as laws, which were framed for the express purpose of ben-4 efitting labor. He was ode of the earnest advocates of a department of commerce and labor; for the better enforcement of the Chinese exclusion law; for that bill which was of such great value to the railroad employes of the country, the safety appliances act; for the law prohibiting the importation of con-tract hibor. and excluding undesirable aliens: the act providing that steamboats shall have proper quarters for their crews, and innuemerable measures In which labor was directly interested and benefited. It is not to be supposed that every measure introduced into congress would meet with the approval of Mr. AVatson. but if one takes the time tol investigate and inquire, he will discover that Mr. Watson's record stands forth pre-eminent in support of legislation which has been prompted ihrough the influence of labor, and Avhilo he has not alvays agreed with those who are sometimes influenced bv prejudice rather than by common vense, he has never failed to support principles of right, justice and fair play. You ask my opinion of Mr. Watson us a representative lawmaker and his nttitude toward labor. I say unhesitatingly and without any reservation, that labor need have no fear as to the position Mr. Watson will take" upon ny subject which is brought forward in "the interests of labor, when those interests are clearly set forth, and there is no Appearance of malice or ny inclination to do an injustice or to be unfair. He has a mind of his owa, and does not hesitate to give expression to his own views. He is aji indefatigable worker, and will stand without hitching. Were I a resident of Indiana today, associated with labor as I have been in ihe past. 1 would have no misgivings as to what would be the attitude of Mr. AVatson as a representative in congress or in any other position of authority, po far as labor's just interests are concerned. Mr. Sargeni is an old railroad man ind was formerly grand master of the Urothfrhood of Locomotive Firemen. He resided in Indiana for a number of years, and. being well known there tuuong the railroad men. he is receiving inquiries from them as to Congressman Watson's labor record. BE CIVILIZED!

BOY CHARGED WITH ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO COMMIT MURDER IS INSANE

New Castle. Ind.. Jan. 'Jo.-A. V.

It causes him to act strangely at times and under1 --excitement to fly into an uncontrollable rage. It. is also alleged that Reynolds, victim of the knife thrusts, has a had disposition ami chased his helper ino the Bundy hotek with a hatchet. The truth of this statement has not been ascertained. Young Dougherty stales that KeyFIRST BANQUET OF BROTHERHOOD Excellent Program Event. for the The first annual banquet of the Brotherhood of St. Paul of First M.

Dougherty also says that Reynolds had him down on the counter beating him when he used the knife. This statement is a contradiction of the first version. Another contradiction is that Dougherty was in bed when placed under arrest.

IHE Llht KLANI. Its Curious Leaves and How They Die and Bloom Again. Visitors to Bermuda ofteu bring back to this country as a souvenir of their trip the leaves of an interesting plant of the house leek family. It is known as the life plant, and when the leaves begin to shrivel and fade they send out little shoots which in turn bear leave that continue to grow and remain fresh and green for months. Tho leaves are about four inches long, rich green in color anil of a smooth waxen texture. If you take one of the leaves anel piu it to the wall indoors, it will begin to sprout withiu three or four days, be it winter or summer. At first the top portion of the leaf will begin to wither and shrivel tip, and this i likely to continue until the upper half has lost its sreeu color. Then tiuy white toots will sprout from the edges, aud in time diminutive green leaves will appear on these. These little offshoots will sometimes grow to be au inch loug and coutaia several pairs of leaves. The limit of their existence see?uis to depvud upon the amount of heat and light they can obtain.

Mr. Herbert Knux Smith, who.-- zeal

!in the cause of economic reform ha- ! been in no vise abated by the pani-, which he and his kind did so much tu ; bring ou. is out with an ansv.tr to President Molten, of the Standard Oi! company of Indiana. The publication of this answer, it is officially given out. was dlajed several w-e'. s. "for business reasons." because ii was no? deemed advisable to further excite the public mind, which was profoundly dis- , nubed by the crisis. Now Cunt the storm clouds have roiled by, howevei. the commissioner rushes again into t he fray. ' Our readers remember that the chhf points in the defence of the Standard Oil company, as presented by President Moffett. were. il that the rale of. six cents n oil from Whitiuu to Hast St. Louis had been issued to the Standard Oil company as t he lawful rate bv ' employes of the Alton. O that the lucent rate on file with the Interstate' Commerce commission was a i lass and not a commodity ru;e. never being intended to apply to oil, :! that oil was shipped in large quantities between ' Whiting and East St. Louis over the; Chicago and Eastern Illinois at six and' one-fourth cents per hundred pounds, which has been filed with the Inter-; state Commerce commission as the' lawful rate, and (4 that the 1-cent rate on oil was entirely out of proportion to lawful rates ou other commodities between these points of a similar character, and of grrater value. i-:ueh. for example, as linseed oil. the lawful rate on which was eight cents. President Moffett also stated that thousands of tons of freight had been sent by other shippers between these points under substantially the same conditions as governed the shipments of the Standard Oil company. This defence of the Standard Oil company was widely quoted and has undoubtedly exerted a powerful influence upon the public mind. Naturally the administration, which has staked the success of its campaign against the "trusts" upon the rf stilt of its attack upon this company, endeavors to offset this influence, and hence the new deliverance of Commissioner Smith. We need hardly to point out that his tebuttal argument is extremely weak, although as strong, no doubt, as the circumstances would warrant. He answers the points made by President Moffett substantially as follows: (1). The Standard 'Oil company had a traffic department and should have known that the six-cent rate had not been filed FATAL PRIZE FIGHT Off THE CUMBERLAND Naval Apprentice Dies and Investigation Will Result.

Pure gold is unaffected by the atmosphere either at ordinary temperatures or when the metal Is heated. It is also proof against the action of common acids when used singly. Moreover, it confers its properties more or less upon copper and silver when these metals are alloyed with it. Thus, for example, twelve carat gold will withstand the action of nitric acid and the atmosphere at ordinary temperature, but some of the copjier will be oxidized during annealing. Nine parts of gold may be alloyed with ten parts of platinum in any ordinary crucible anil f re, but such an alloy will not be uniform: a larger proportion of platinum will free itself from the gold on solidification, and a homogeneous alloy of the two metals cannot be obtained.

In fact, it is as wtai a: -ive as the remainder of lit d incoM'ui arguM:;;.

The former practice, now discontinued, in filing tariffs was to mal e them read from a point on the line of the filing road, and it was also general to state on the same sheet, i hat thy tariff would apply to other points, e. g.. Whiting. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois followed this practice in filing its rate from Dolton. and making a note on the sheet that it applied to Whiting. This was in lv,i"i when this method of filing tariffs was in common use. Now let us see in what wy the intending shipper of oil could be misled and deceived by the fact that the Chicago and Eastern Illinois had not filed a rate reading from Whiting. Commissioner Smith contends that "concealment is the only motive for such a circuitous arrangement." i. e.. that this method of filing the rate was intended to mislead intending competitors of tne Standard Oil company. Suppose sr.cn a prospective on renner nau applied to the Interstate Commerce commission for the rate from Chicago to East St. Louis ovr the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, he would have been informed that the only rate filed with the commission by this company was Ut4 cents from Dolton. and he would have been further informed, if indeed he did not know this already, that this rate applied throughout Chicago territory.

Considering the fact that these shippers Included the packers and elevator men of Chicago the action of th' grand jury in calling upon Presieient Moffett to furnish evidence ef their wrong-doing may be interpreted as a demand for an elaboration of the obvious: but the fact that a rate bok containing these freight rates for other shippers was offered in evidence during the trial and ruled out by Judge Land is was kept out of sight.

In short. Prcseielit MeUfetl's deft tico i- still geKd. and we predict will be- so declared by the higher court. The Standard oil company has been iharged with all manner tf crimes and misdemeanors Beginning with tho 'famous Rice of Marietta, passing down to that apostle of popular liberties. Henry Demurest Lloyd. with Ms Wt tilth Against the Commonwealth, descending by easy stages tr Miss Trbell's offensive personalities, we finally reach the nether depths of unfair ami baseless misrepresentation in th uporl of the commis-iioner of corporations. The Standard has been charged with every form of commercial piracy and with most of the crime on Ihe eorpoiaiion calendar. After long ears of strenuous attack, under the leadership of the president of the I'nitod S'atcs. the corporation is at last dragged to the bar of justice to answer for its misdoings. The whole strength of the government is directed against It. and at last, we are told, -the Standard Oil company is to pay the penalty of its crimes, and it is finally convicted of having failed to verify the statement of a rate clerk and is forthwith fined a prodigious sum. measured by tue car. Cnder the old criminal law. the theft of property worth more than a shilling was punishable by death. Under the interpretation of the Interstate Commerce law by Theodore Roosevelt and Judge Kenesaw I-andls. a technical error of a traffic official Is made the excuse fr the confiscation of a vast amount of property. by Ihe government. wi icii wouwi rut down the income' of some of the inlllionaires and thus give others a chance: The government to draw a revenue from all oil field - in th United States.

In this way Prof. Ro8 declared th conditions of the present time would be- adjusted, everylwxiv would have a fair prospect, the future generations would become wealt.iies. and it would be difficult for the moltl millionaire to become richer.
