WHITE TO LONG.
Was He Wrong in "Katy'' suit Before
Congress or Now.

In a campaign speech at Circleville
day before yesterday, Chester L Long,
United States senator, denied the as
serions which have been made by
William Allen White and others that
the Katy" land suit was for $50
100000. Long took shot at Mr..
White, referring to him as an editor
who has more reputation for fiction
than for facts When Longs state
ment was shown to Mr.. White yester-
day he said he had no desire to pro-
long this controversy.
But when Long says that suit is a
suit to quiet the title to those lands he
is simply playing on what he regards
as the ignorance of the people" said
he. 1T is a suit to get SO million dol
lars out of the treasury of the people
of the United States into the treasury
of the Katy railroad. In the brief Of
Joseph Choate, attorney for the Katy
and one of the smartest lawyers in
the world, the Katy shows the su-
preme court conclusively that the
government has taken the land out Of
the public domain; that it cannot now
revert to the Katy, and in the brief
Of the Katy, on page 159 the Katy
expressly asks damages in money for
breach of contract. It asks explicitly
and In these terms for money to have
a decree from the supreme court, or
derins and adjudging that said sums
be paid by the United States to your
oratrix (meaning the Katy) as com
pensatiOn for the loss suffered in con-
sequence of the breach of contract
THAT Is the nubbin of the whole
suit, and when Senator Long and Gov
ernor Hoch talk about that suit being
a suit to quiet title. they show they
are either ignorant or worse.
''Hoch knew no better than to bring
that suit. But Long did know better
than to defend it. for as congressman
he has voted and worked against the
Katy's contentious. If he was right
then. he is wrong now. And if Hoch
is right now. Long was wrong then.
He should either quit defending Hoch
now, or begin defending himself
