ROOSEVELT'S BOAST 9.
FOR "UNCLE JOE"
Would Be Disastrous to Change Head
Of House--Strong Position on
Tariff.

New York, Aug. 20.A letter writ.
ten by President Roosevelt to Con
pressman James E. Watson, of Rush
ville Indiana, reviewing and approx
ing of the work of the present Con-
gress and declaring that ito change
the leadership and organization OF the
House at this time means to bring
confusion upon those who have sue
cessfully engaged in the steady work
ing out of a great and comprehen-
sive scheme for the betterment of our
civil and social conditions" was made
publ" today.
III President also said that he
hoped he present Congress will enact
laws prohibiting political contrlbu-
tions by corporations, lowering the
duties on imports from the Philip
pines and limiting the number of
hours for railway employees. Of the
tariff Mr.. Roosevelt says:
"We stand unequivocally for pro-
tecting tariff and We feel that the phe-
nomenal industrial prosperity which
we are now enjoying is not too lightly
to DE jeopardized, for it would be
the last degree foolish; ito secure
here and there small benefit at the
cost of a general business depression.
The question of revising the tariff
stands wholly apart from the question
of dealing with the solcalled trusts
that is with the control of monopo-
lies and with the supervision of great
wealth in business especially in in
corporate form.
"It is possible TO deal with those
trusts and monopolies and this great
corporate wealth by action along the
line of the laws enacted by the pres
ent Congress and its immediate prede-
cessors."

ABOUT RAIL.
ROAD PASSES
May Be Issued to Newspapers Under
Contract-Army Officers
Suffer-

Chicago, Aug. 20-The Transconti.
mental Passenger Association met re-
Gently to discuss what course the
railways shall take in reference Ito re-
duced rates in order to conform to the
new rate law.
One of the questions which has
been troubling the roads relates to
reduced rates for officers in the regu'
lar army. When the government
transfers an army officer from one
post ITO another lit pays his railway
fare. Most army officers have fami-
lies, however, and il THE move lis a
long one the expenses OF the change
are big. 1t has been the custom in
the past for the railways to grant
special rates to officers families, but
they doubt If they can do it under
the new law. The Hartman lines,
which owe debt of gratitude to the
regulars for protecting their property
during the San francisco disaster,
are holding out for resolving the doubt
in favor of thS soldiers.
The railways are also considering
whether they may give reduced rates
to sisters of charity, as has been their
custom in the past. The law expressly
authorizes them to make special rates
for ministers and traffic officials are
inclined to think they will not be
severely dealt with If they continue
to grant them to nuns.
Newspapers Not Affected.
The roads were inclined for awhile
to think they would have to quit is.
suing transportation to newspapers,
but the predominant opinion now
seems to be that the law will not
prevent them from entering into con
tracts to give definite amounts OF
transportation for advertising of equal
cash value. ."
A curious discrepancy in the pro
visions of the new law has been de.
tected by traffic officials. The first
section Of the act states that it shall
apply to all carriers transporting any
thing from any state or territory. LII
section 20 it is provided that when
goods are transported from one state
into another state the initial carrier
shall be responsible for damage to
them, no mention whatever of terri
tories being made.
What traffic officials wish to know
Is whether this means that when
goods are shipped from or into a
territory the initial road will not be
held solely responsible for damages
and the shipper will not be given the
extended, ito those shipping
from state to state.
