WILLIAMS FOR STATE CONTROL
Member OF Nebraska Railway Conn
mission Takes Issue with
President.

PALMYRA. Neb.. June ls-(Special.)- )-J
A. Williams, one Of the members of the
State Railway commission, delivered an ad-
dress at the old settlers picnic here today,
in which he assailed the position OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the question OF railroad
rate regulation. He declared against any
attempt by the federal government to as
sumo powers of regulation over railroads
and other carriers now exercised by the
states He combatted the plan of President
Roosevelt In that regard and criticised the
Interstate Commerce commission as a
weak. inactive body, too much under the
influence of railroads and not responsive to
the popular will.
For the state 10 abrogate its right of con-
troll over the transportation companies and
permit the national government to have
complete sway Judge Williams asserted
would destroy all prospect of relief from
present evils. He said that the states had
already achieved results In railroad regula-
tion which would never have come through
federal action, and that the future welfare
of the country demands a continuance OF
state supervision over the business of car
riers within their borders.
In his aliusion to the Interstate Commerce
commission. Judge Williams said:
This body was created about twenty years
ago as a tribunal to AFFORD relief from rail-
road abuses. We all know that II never
accomplished anything until President
Roosevelt stirred II into action and the
setting the pace for II to follow. In all
that has been done within the last few
years 70 place the transportation under sue
cessful regulation, the states have led and
the Interstate Commerce commission has
tTailed along behind. Even at the present
time, with the president and the force OF
public opinion behind It, the Interstate
board seems entirely lacking in the vigor
70 deal with questions before II. II II IL
namby-pamby now, what will II be when
these supporting influences are withdrawn
The United States 10 too large a country
the hands OF few men President Roose-
yelt Is doubtless sincere in his advocacy OF
iederal control, but / wholly disagree with
him. II his purpose Is to take one whit OF
power from the states. The country could
trust Roosevelt to act in the Interest ~ the
people, but II is asked 10 trust the Inter.
state Commerce commission Instead which
ls an entirely different ~7attar That ho5,,
Is dominated by eastern sentiment ana
knows very little OF the railroad abuses
from which the people OF the west have
been suffering. i"'e
Judge Williams said that the State Pail.
way commissioners are responsible To the
people who elect them, and that for th,s
reason they can be depended on to act IN
the interest Of the people, though with ,us.
tice toward the railroads He asssrtad
furthermore that the state legislatures ana
commissions are much better Informed on
local transportation grievances than the
Interstate Commerce commission can ever
become.

WONDER TOWER TO BE SOLD
RikOIa Tesla Has Difference Over
Land on which IL is
Iornted.

NEW YORK, June 1S-Because Nikola
TNGiA, propounder OF a theory OF comnru-
nlcations with Mars, has failed to satisfy
a judgment of S1,10820 the mysterious
tower at Wardencliffe, L. l., has been
advertised for sale by Sheriff Wells Of
SUFFOLK county. Mr.. Tesla has expended
a fortune upon his electrical experimental
works In Wardencliffe whose purpose he
has kept to himself. Only his closest
friends were permitted to get within see
ing distance OF his wonder tower" as
the huge structure OF steel and cement
was called. and no one appears to know
64<Astly what II was intended for. That It
Was to be used to demonstrate his theory
OF communicating with the Martians is
popularity believed. The judgment Is held
by DR.. James W. Warden. The security
is the 300 acres owned by Tesla, upon
which stands the tower, which is sunk
into the ground a distance of $50 feet and
Is $50 feet In height. according to Tesla
statements to his friends. The tower has
a great mushroom top. from which there
used to be binding flashes Of electricity
at night some years ago Mr. Tesla when
seen at the Waldorf-Astorla last night
said the case was an old one, the Judgment
growing out OF an option he had taken ON
the land. He said the matter would be
settled.
COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo, June "a
Nkola Tesla, about ten years ago erected
a laboratory and tower on Mob Hill near
this city for experiments In the transmits

was valued at approximately $4,000. Shortly
after he left this city the caretaker OF the
plant, a man named Duffner, sued Tesla
for $4,000 salary. Subsequently the as
SCISSORS ONCE levied upon the property for
taxes. with the result that the building and
machinery was sold under the judgment
obtained by Duffner and the taxes were
paid out of the proceeds Of the sale

NORFOLK, va. June 13.-Crosby S.
Noyes today addressed the National Edi-
torial association. which is In session at
the jamestown exposition.
The Newspapers and Roosevelt.
Journalism since Jamestown" was the
subject of an address delivered before the
National Editorial association at the
jamestown exposition today by Crosby S.
Noyes, editor OF the Washington Star.
Mr.. Noyes compared the achievements OF
Captain Smith in planting and sustaining
the English colony with the deeds of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in this generation and de-
clared they,were as worthy of glorification,
but lacked the aid of the newspaper press
that had so greatly helped the latter in his
upward career.
The newspapers, the speaker declared,
have given Mr. Roosevelt their vigorous
support in his reform politics, have ex-
plotted all his sayings and doings through
the twenty four hours Of the day; glorihed
the man and his work and made his name
household word in every home in the
land Mr.. Roosevelt has seemed come
what slow in acknowledging his indebted
ness to the press" Mr.. Noyes said, but
he will think of It some day when he is not
too busy"
The first appearance OF the reporter"
Mr.. Noyes declared was when Joseph
Gath of the National Intellgencer covered
Daniel Webster's reply to Hayne."
In discussing the attitude toward the
press of "our rulers state ard national"
the speaker declared that they have with
two or three exceptions been on friendly
terms with the 4ewspapermen.
Sly Rap mt the President.
In discussing President Roosevelt's at
titude. he said:
"He has declared himself in favor of
clean, healthy newspapers with clean,
healthy criticisms which shall be fearless
and truthful, but when it comes to the
test. it is seen that he does not relish these
fearless and truthful criticisms when they
are exercised at his expense. But the
newspaper men have no quarrel with the
president There Is some friction between
them, but no rupture; and Secretary Loeb
dispenses the White House news with tact
and intelligence.
Mr.. Roosevelt has no real animosity to
the press ard l fancy he has no keener
enjoyment in life than in association with
bright newspaper men, as for instance, at
n grldiTon dinner, when, after a busy day
experimenting the affairs of the universe,
he drops in upon these entertainments and
enters into the spirit of the occasion with
all the glee of q schoolboy just let out for
the holidays; and his laughter In the
heartiest to be heard when the gridiron
boys are giving him pretty hot roast over
some of his official ecceHtricities. 'a,s.
After all Theodore Roosevelt is good
deal of a boy yet, as well as a most master
full president"
