WROTE ANONYMOUS LETTERS
Confession Made to a Congressional
Committee by an Attorney.

Washington, D. c. The investi-
cation into the legislative methods
employed by the Electric Boat Co.,
directed by the house of representa-
tives under a resolution introduced
February 20 by Representative Lii
ley of Connecticut, is ended as far as
open sessions are concerned.
The closing hours of the case were
dramatic. Frederick Brown Whitney,
an attorney at law, admitted that he
was the author of the anonymous let
ters of February g and February Is
to the representative of the Detroit
Free Press and State Senator Frank
Marlborough Of Michigan, which have
figured so prominently in the inves-
tigation. The admission of Mr.. Whit
ney was made in the form of an af-
tidavit which was read by his coun-
sci, eXUnited States Senator Thurs
ton of Nebraska Mr. Thurston stat
ed that Mr.. Whitney is i'll in Garfield
hospital, this city, and that it would
be impossible fer him to appear be-
fore the committee. In the affidavit

1904 he was clerk to the committee
on naval affairs of the house of rep
resentatives; that shortly thereafter
he became second vice president OF
the Lake Torpedo Boat Co., which
position he retained until May -,
1906: that he is now vice president
of the Lake Submarine Co., an in
dependent organization. The reasons
for writing the anonymous letters
We're given by Mr.. Whitney as fol-
lows:
THAT of his own initiation he un-

not improper methods to have
brought to the attention of Congress
the methods which he had believed
had been pursued by the Electric
Boat Co. in its endeavor to secure
through congressional action what
might be termed exclusive legislation,
which would shut out competition and
prevent the Lake Torpedo Boat Co.
from competing in the Unitde States

A SQUARE DEAL; SQUARE MEAL
FOR EVERYBODY is THE MOTTO
OF A NEW ASSOCIATION.
Purpose of the Organization is to Pre-
vent Legislation Against Railroads
and Other Corporations.

st. Louis, Mo. "A business or
al Prosperity Association of st. Louis
has been formed as the result of
conference held by business men dur
ing the last three days and last night
formal address was issued to the
business interests of the country. 1t
is proposed to extend the association
throughout the country for the bet
terment of all classes of business.
In the formal address it is set forth
that the purposes of the association
are:
To keep the dinner pail full; to
keep the pay car going; to keep the
factory busy; to keep workmen en-
ployed and to maintain present wages.
The address continues:
THE National Prosperity associa-
ton has nothing to do with the past.
1t looks forward. 1t has a platform.
The two planks are a square deal and
a square meal for every man. There
is nothing fundamentally wrong with
the business situation. The financial
clouds have rolled by. The crop pros
poets, the basis of all things for us,
are exceptionally good. We believe
that we can get back to normal con-
ditions quickly if we will We do not
see why we should wait for the clos
ing months of 1908 or for the spring
OF 1903"
Chairman Simmons said: 1--WE have
formed business organization which
has for it's object the encouragement
of the return of prosperity sooner
than might otherwise occur without
help. We believe that present condi-
tions are favorable to this"

MAKES BROWN MEN SQUIRM
Boycott Placed on Japanese Goods by
Chinese Is No Joke.

Pekin, China-It is understood here
by Chinese officials that the pur-
pose of the Washington authorities in
dividing the American battleship fleet
into two squadrons is to enable the
vessels to visit Japan and China sim
ultaneously, and the feeling of disap-
pointment has, in a measure, been
lessened. The impression prevails
among the Chinese, however, that
what they call the definite purposes
of the fleets presence in Asiatic wa
ters have been foied by an attempt
to neutralize the political interpreta-
tionS that have been given to the
fleets movements in the far east.
Japan is facing a serious situation
as a result of the boycott arising from
the Tatsu Maru incident Admiral
Ijuin of the Japanese navy, whose
cruiser squadron is now anchored off
Taku, was received in audience by
the emperor and empress dowager on
Friday. Coincident with this occur
renee Japan is seeking the support
of Great Britain to put a stop to the
boycott by joint representations to
China. The boycott is increasing and
Japan is not satisfied with China's eff
forts to put an end to it.

NO INTERFERENCE IN HAITI.
Chicago Tribune Would Have United
States Keep Hands of.

1t will be readily admitted that the
people of Haiti cannot establish a
stable government. They have been
experimenting for about a hundred
years under emperors and presidents,
and have failed. 1t must be admitted
that blood does not flow so freely in
Haiti as it did in the days of Christie
phe and Dessalines, but 1t is still a
country where brute force is the only
law and where there is barely a
trace of what would nowadays be
called civilization except among the
few whites and the educated muattoes
of the coast towns. A densely igno-
rant population occupies but does not
utilize what should be one of the most
productive regions of the earth
1t is all wrong, economically, that
Haiti should go to waste as it does
but it does not follow that the United
States should intervene IN Haitien af-
fairs even if invited to do so, de
clares the Chicago Tribune. There is
color question in Haiti, not of white
and black, but of white and yellow
There are mulattoes who, out of
hatred of the blacks, would be quite
willing to call in the United States
so that it might put them in power
and then politely depart
The United States should keep out
of such a hornets nest as Haiti as
long as it can. If any American cit
izen were to be injured and redress de
MED him it would be necessary TO ex-
act satisfaction. In the distant years
manifest destiny will make the United
States the ruler of all the West India
islands, but there should he no hurry
about their acquisition. This country
has now all the dependencies it can
attend to.

Wins Owns the Water7

President Roosevelt notified con.
gress in one of his messages that he
should be obliged to veto any bill
granting water power privileges which
did not contain time limit and did
not reserve to the proper government
official the right to fix and collect a
just and reasonable charge. The presi.
dent holds, and is right in doing SO,
that valuable water power privileges.

not be given away irrevocably or with.
out compensation.
In accordance with his promise the
president has vetoed the first defective
water power bill that reached him. 1t
is little one, extending the time for
the construction Of dam across the
Rainy river in Minnesota originally
authorized several years ago. There
are other bills before congress which
do not comply with the presidents re-
quirements and which are being held
back until the fate of this Minnesota
measure shall have been finally dis.

The bills before congress granting
such privileges should be held up
until the ownership of the water shall
have been determined.

Abandoning the United States.

News comes from Winnipeg that the
spring tide OF emigration from our
western states to Canada has already
set in and gives promise of reaching
at least high water mark This is a
serious loss to the United States. Ac-
cepting. as we may, the Canadian sta
tistics Of immigration, it appears that
since the opening of the century about
100000 people have moved across the
line to make homes in Canada Prob
ably a few have returned but most
have stayed and are content to stay.
These people do not go to Canada
because they are not doing we'll in the
United States, but. because they hope
to do better in the new land. Many
of them are Of the class which has
made our great west. They or their
fathers obtained lands in the west
either by homesteading or by purchase
for small sum an acre. They can now
sell their holdings for many times the
original cost and take their money,
their experience and their equipment
into new country and there buy land
for few dollars an acre and see its
value increase as did the value of their
farms in this country-New York Sun.

EXPRESS CAR
WAS LOOTED
TWO MEN OVERCAME MESsEN-
GER AND STOLE FOUR BAGS
OF CURRENCY.
on THE PAN HANDLE ROAD.
The Robbery Took Place at Walkers
Mills, Eleven Miles West of Pitts
burg, and the Thieves Made
Their Escape.

Pittsburg, Pa. - Two train rob-
bers who evidently boarded the New
York and st. Louis express on the
Pan Handle railroad of the Pennsyl-
vania system at the Union station in
this city when that train left at 1906
last night, ten minutes late, overpow-
cred the express messenger and got
away with four bags of currency. con-
tanning an amount of money as yet
unknown.
The robbery was committed near
Walkers Station, a lonely and isolat-
ed spot in a rough section of country
about IL miles west of the city.
The train, one OF the fastest be-
tween here and Steubenville, O., was
brought to q sudden halt by an emer-
gency signal from the bell cord and
when Conductor William Lafferty of
Carnegie, a suburb of this city, went
forward to learn the trouble he found
Adams Express Messenger Roshen
bound and gagged in the express car
and so frightened that he could not
give any connected report of what
had happened. A brief report was
telegraphed to the Pittsburg offices
of the company from Rennersdale, the
next telegraph office, and from Steu-
benville as full a report as possible
was sent in by the conductor.
Except that both of the robbers
were white, the express messenger is
unable to give any description that
will be of aid to the secret service
forces of the Pan Handle and the
Pennsylvania railroad companies, and
the city and county detective forces
all of whom have been called out to
work on the case.
The express safe was open. as the
messenger was making up bills for
packages received from the local Of
fee and the robbery was accomplished
in a very few minutes. Persons
standing on the station platform at
Carnegie, a short distance from the
place where the robbers left the train,
report having seen the express mes
senger at work in his car and two
men on the platform outside the car.
1t is known that four bags, all
sealed and containing money, were
taken from the car, but nothing is
known as to the amount of money
contained in either bag

ERYAN IS UNSTABLE
HIS PAST RECORD SHOWS HIS
WEAKNESS.
Policies He Has Advocated and Never
Surrendered Show His Unfitness
for High Position of Chief
Executive.

Judge Taft and Mr.. Bryan are en-
gagged in a sort of joint debate. Each
is examining the record of the other
on the issues of the day, and pointing
out how weak A candidate he would be
if put forward by his party in the com
ing race. Each also seems to assume
that the other will be SO put forward.
in a way, therefore, the battle has
opened in advance of the action of
the two national conventions.
Judge Taft makes two points against
Mr.. Bryan which will be available in
the campaign whether the former leads
his party or not.
The first point relates to the Phil
ippine islands Mr.. Bryan eXerted his
influence TO have the archipelago
taken over by the United States; and
thus he is associated with what he
now calls our colonial policy. He eX-
plains that his object was to assist in
closing the whole episode with Spain,
so as to enable thi. government 20
give the Filipinos a government of
their own. But now he wants to carry
out that policy without delay in the
face of the fact that our investigation
and experience have convinced many
of our wisest men that years must
elapse before the United States can
withdraw, with safety to the interests
for which 1t then becomes respon-
sible
The second point relates to the
silvs: question. 1t is true, as Judge
Taft charges, that there is nothing in
Mr. Bryan's present attitude toward
silver which would prevent him from
reviving his free coinage contention
at any time in future money
stringency and a black financial out
look existed. He still holds to his
opinions of 1896 and claims, moreover
that events since then have verified
them. 1t is not the character of the
additional metal discovered-gold-
which relieved the situation, but the
quantity. III we may accept Mr.
Bryan's explanation, if he had won his
fight in 1896, and the government had
entered upon the unlimited coinage of
silver prices would have risen ard
good times been restored if not an
ounce of gold had been added to the
worlds supply.
Mr.. Bryans great weakness lies not
so much in what he is now advocating
as in what he has advocated in the
past and has not surrendered. Not
only is he holding free silver in abey-
ance,. but government ownership and
operation of railroads as we'll He be-
lieves in both policies, and, given the
power and an emergency, would push
both

Favors Tariff Commission.

Senator Beveridge is making a pow
crful appeal to the country with his
tariff commission plan. This plan is
not a device to delay or juggle re-
vision, as some commission plans Of
the past have been. 1t does not pro-
pose that the schedules shall be inves-
tigated by interested persons, but that
the commission shall be made up of
experts, regardless of politics, and
that the commission shall be a perma-
nent institution, working continuously
to make such changes in the duties as
will meet new conditions, be fair to
the consumers of this country and pro-
mote business in general, more es-
pecially in the direction of foreign
trade. Such a commission. provided
for in the present session of congress,
could do vastly more for effective re-
vision than any congressional body
could do against the time-"soon after
the presidential election when it is
promised the tariff VIII be revised. It's
reports would be of practical value to
congress in making this general re-
vision and in the consideration of sub
sequent notifications. With such a
provision for making the tariff right
and keeping it right, there would
never again be a general disturbance
of business due to- tariff agitation
