STANDS BY MORTON
President Expresses Confidence in
His Integrity and Ability.
DIFFERENCES IN REBATE CASE

Mr.. Roosevelt Agrees That Proceed
ings Should Be Brought Against
Santa Fe Road, But Not Against
individuals.
Washington. June %. 49, President
Roosevelt has taken occasion to ex-
press himself In most positive terms
complimentary of the integrity and
ability of Paul Morton, former vice
president Of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad company. and now
concluding his duties as secretary Of
the navy, that he may assume the
craftsmanship of the board OF directors
Of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety of New York. These expressions
are contained in two letters, one ad-
dressed to the attorney general and
the other TO Mr.. Morton. The letters
were made public by the administra-
ton. together with a number of others,
which, taken together, show the precise
point of difference between the depart
ment of Justice and Messrs. Harmon
and Judson, who recently resigned as
special counsel for the government in
the rebate case involving the Santa Fe
road and the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company. The special counsel wished TO
bring contempt proceedings against the
officers of the railroad, which would
have included Mr.. Morton. The posi-
ton was that the testimony adduced
before the interstate commerce COM
mission established a violation OF the
court order of March %. 1902. restrain
ing the company from executing any
agreement TO transport traffic inter-
state at rates lower than published in
the tariff Of the road. This testimony,
they contended. constituted a prima
facie case against the officers of the
road. and the only way to ascertain
their guilt or innocence was through
contempt proceedings.
Attorney General Moody opposed
bringing the contempt proceedings on
the ground that while the evidence be-
fore the commission might show vio-
lation of the injunction by the road, 1t
contained nothing connecting any Off
Ger of the company with such violation.
President Roosevelt took the same
view. Both the president and the at
torney general agreed that contempt
proceedings should be instituted imper-
sonally against the corporations In
both the Colorado Fuel and the Inter
national Harvester cases. The latter
case. the president says. stands exactly
on the same footing, and involves prac-
tically all of the western roads.

New York. June %. - Herbert w

reply to President Rooseyelt's letter
dismissing him from the diplomatic
service as a result of the investigation
made by Secretary Taft into the con-
troversy between Mr.. Bowen anc

rotary of state.
Mr. Bowen declares that the "Vene.

scandal" pervaded Caracas and con-
stantly grew worse and worse" Mr.
Bowen says that shortly after he called
the matter to the attention OF the de.

Caracas.

Mr.. Bowen says that the recent de-
partmental inquiry should not pre-
vent ian open, impartial, fearless and
thorough investigation into all the
facts Suppression OF truth will never
establish It," he adds. Tolerance Of
evil will never crush It. No Office. how

TELLS ORIGIN OF LAUGH.
European Professor Says It La an Ex-
preston Of Joy Induced by
Coming Meal.

\ European professor has
made some very notwithstanding
statements regarding the origin
of facial expressions.
The first smile, he asserts. was
merely widening of the mouth
of the prehistoric man az the pros
pect of being fed. Our savage an
cestor barred his teeth gieefully
as meal-time approached. and in
the course Of ages the act was EN-
ployed to express Joy for any
cause.
The snecr, in which we curl the
upper lip. is n survival Of the
snarl OF the brute or ire savage
man; while the sudden parting OF
the lips, by which fear is indicat-
I'd. perpetuates the ace BY whicll
the startled animal or savage took
deep breath before preparing ia
fly or commence struggle to the
death.
Probably the most usual cause
of disgust in the mind of primeyal
man was some bad tasting NOR
sci in his food. The grimace he
would then have made in expclling
1t has survived as our own method
OF expressing the emotion, what
ever the exciting cause.
