FEEL INSULTED By LAMONT
Ford's Thsater Commission Think
His Critic SIN Outrageous.
We're Guided in Adjudication of All
Cases by Facts of Which the Sec
retary Was IgnOrant.

The members of the Ford's Theater Com
mission feel that they have been outraged.
They feel it very strongly, too. They
hold that Secretary Lamont had no right
10 send TO Congress such q criticism of
,heir action as he did, after the report
had passed the Senate. Itleft the members
of the commission in the Senate no oppor-
tuniiy to reply.
Mr.. Faulkner, when asked about the
report, said: II think it will have no
weight at all. The memoranda on which
Secretary Lamont based his report was
the evideuce. We found other evidence to
outweigh his, and that is why we made
the report as we did"
The condition of the victims of that dis
aster could not be judged day or two
after the report. In some cases men were
prostrated a month after the accident and
the prostration was directly due to it. And
at that time the clerks were afraid to opea
their mouths. All this was taken into con-
sideration, and our finding. We think. was
Just.
The amount is not one-tbird what a
jury would give, but we think the finding
is fair though low one. We have acted
with the best judgment we could"
If the matter is opened up in the House,

ment will be killed for this session.

Senate Today 10y Mr.. Galllnger of New
Hampshire on the bill unanimously adopted
by the Senate Committee on the District
of Columbia for the regulation of yiyi-
section.
The bill provides for the use OF anaesthet-
les in all painful experiments upon living
vertebrate animals, the so-cailed incubation
experiments. tests of drugs and medicines
and cases of recovery from surgical pro-
iceedure being expressly exempted from the
requirement; for the licensing of all ex-

,1ivisection in the public schools and in
exhibitions for the general public, and for
The inspection of all places of experiment
ny inspectors TO be appointed by the Presi-
dent Of the United States.
Senator GalliHger, in the report, declares
that the weight of argument by physicians
is clearly in favor of such legislation.
Probably no bill before Congress, he says,
has received the Endorsement of so many
distinguished people. Mr.. Gallinger, who
IS physician. argues that human vivisec-
tion is not likely il animal yiyisectiou is
permitted without restriction. and quotes
in this connection bill drawn by DR.. J. s.
Pyle of Canton, Ohio, and introduced in the
Ohio legislature. providing that condemned
criminals shall be yiyisccted under aDaes-
