HUGHES

TO TASK FOR DETROIT SPEECH

Statements Regarding Coast and Geodetic Survey Held False and of Misleading Substance.

WASHINGTON. Au?. 3. Statements made by Charles K. Hu-;he.s. republican nominee for the presidency, in j-peech- at Detroit Monti -iy wre characterized as 'false as to 's.cts and of misleading suhttance" in telegrams j-ent hy administration cdficlals Tuesday ni'ht after a Ion? discussion of the. iubitct by Preset Wilson and his eabin.'t at Tuesday's meeting. The. charts related to changes in the oast and geodetic survey and the census bureau. Sec') Kedlkld. in liinharnpton, N. V.. telegraphed to Fec'y Tumulty cirnyintc the -harves made by Mr. J lushes and later sent a similar telegram to Mr. HuKhf-s. Edwin F. w(pt. acting secretary of commerce, in Mr. Redheld's absence, also telegraphed Mr. Hughes giving a. detailed refutation ef the chaxcea. Duraml Ketirvl Voluntarily. Mr. Hughes cited the retirement of K. I).ina Purand. as director of the census and the appointment of William J. Harris in his place, and the replacement of O. H. Tittman as head of the toast and geodetio s-urvry by Dr. K. Ilster Jozies. Mr. lied field in his ti legram to .ec'y Tumulty says Mr. Durand retired -voluntarily and was recommended to his present employment by the secretary, and that Mr. Harris has made a. fuse record. Mr. Tittman retired voluntarily, he says, and his successor was promoted because of meritorious work. Mr. Sweet in his telegram to Mr. Hughes quotes from his speech at Detroit, calling attention to his references to the coast and geodetic Mirvey in part as follows: " 'In the coa.st and geodetic survey ve have had a very extraordinary condition witn regard to expert places. I mean plates that were taken out of the civil servi-e laws. J shall not go into exact figures. In the year ending about April. 1916. there were taken out 101 that is, appointment;? by executive action, removed from the operation of the civil service laws, to the number, J believe, of about 104. " 'I tulU-ve that some twenty of thes were made without seeking the advice of the civil Kervice commission: I believe that about 2 3 were made after seeking the advice, and with the approval of the civil servic tommisston, and I belive that fi ytwo were 1 opposition to the advice of the civil service commission. 1-1 mis (iravc r.irors. "in the absence of the secretary 9 the department of commerce Itne of the bureaus of which is the ttat.t and geodetic survey), I deem it my duty to orrect some grave errors in the following statement. Dr. Tittman, superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey, the scientist to whom you refer, was not displaced, in February or March. 1 1 1 . he (amo to my oflice and told me that lie had determined to resign on account of ill health. He said that he bad reached the conclusion manv months before and had already purchased a place in Leesburg. Ya., which he expected to make his home. I communicated this information to Sec'y Kedlield who expressed surprise and regret. Dr. Tittman's action was entirely voluntary and was not the result of any request or suggestion of the department, direct or indirect. "You refer to Lester Jones, his successor, as a stot k breeder and veterinary surgeon. At one time he had a farm in Yirginia on which he raised stock. This was sold some time before he entered the government service. He never was veterinary surgeon. He is a gentleman of education and refinement. Hefore his appointment to succeed Dr. Tittman, he was deputy rommisHoner cf fisheries i another bureau of this department) and displayed administrative talent of such high irder that he was deemed bv both the secretary and myself worthy of recommendation for appointment to fill the vwanoy in the coast and ia-o'.letie survey. In our judgment this bureau was well equipped from a scientific standpoint, but in great need of a man of executive ability to direct and organize its work.' He said that before Mr. Jones appointment was recommended, two months elapsed during which his jiialificatlons for the place vv re investigated, ince the appointment of Mr. Jones, the wire drag work on both the Atlantic and Pacific casts, and the coast survey and all i-ther wor of the bureau have been lev eloped and prosecuted with i!. aiked vior and success. 'As to your statement regarding tlv civil service, you arc equally misinformed. During the year to which vo:i refer, the number of appoint merits made in the ma.-t and gt od, tic survey has I ren far short t K4. The actual number is ."". of whi'h appointments were made with the approval of the civil ser: e commission. The remaining tvel- wi if for temporary positions.

THREE KILLED IN GAS EXPLOSION IN COLLIERY

WILKES-DARRE, Pa., Aug. 9. 1 Three m?n were killed and three badly burned in an explosion of gas Tuesday at the Woodward colliery of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Coal Co. at Edwardsville, near here. Twe) of the bodies brought to the surface are so badly burned that identification has not yet been attempted. j The explosion occurred in the Red) Ash vein, where about 200 men are employed. The pocket wa.-? in the' extreme tvnd of the operation, which : prevented the other workers from being cut off from escape or caught in black damp. '

The people of outh Rend are considering themselves fortunate today because Tanl vc. proclaimed by thousands to be the one proprietary medicine of real merit of the ase, is t' be introduced here. Reginning Saturday a special Tanlac representative will be at the Public drug store, the store that has been awarded the exclusive agency for Tanlac, to explain the new medicine to the public. For months northern Indiana druggists have been demanding Tanlac and, no doubt, they know people actually in need of the ?"astcr Medicine. However, because of a demand in other places that made necessary day and night work at the laboratories, it was not possible to introduce Tanlac in new territory. Recently an enlargement of the laboratories made possible the opening of newterritory, and although insistent calls were coming fro; other places also, northern Indiana was selected. The ingredients that compose Tanlac come from the most remote sections of the world. Natives labor on the Alps and Appenines, in Russian Asia, Jamaica, the West Indies. Mexico, Peru and other far away countries to obtain roots, barks and herbs used in compounding Tanlac. The roots, barks and herbs are shipped to the Tanlac laboratories at Dayton, Ohio. Joseph von Trimbach, a native German chemist of renown, gives his personal attention to the mixing and Mending of the ingredients. In sterilized bottles, made especially for the purpose, Tanlac is placed, labeled and cartoned and then sent to various parts of the world where the demand requires. Tanlac is destined to become as popular in northern Indiana as it now is in the- southern and central parts of the state, where 1 "0,000 bottles were sold in the last year. A special Tanlac representative will be at the Public drug store beginning Saturday, to explain Tanlac to the public and soon Tanlac will be for sale by one druggist in every surrounding city and town.
