More LiEht by RooaeveIt.

Washington, Dec. 1s - President Roosevelt today sent to Congress a tef- ter of the Secretary Of War, trans- hitting a memorandum prepared hyg Judge Charlton, law officer Of the Bt- reau of Insular Affairs. and Richard Rogers. the counsel of the Isthmian Ca nal Commission. bearing further upoa. the charges that Americans were in- terested in the Panama canal property at the time of the purchase by the United States.
 The memorandum states that at the time the property was transferred ik fr- ciuded the so-called archives" and they are now in possession of this govern msnt. Examinations of thsse archives by Messrs. Charlton and Rogers show, however, that neither at the time of the first examination in May, 1905, nor now were there among the records any lists of stockholders in the old or new Pan- anna Canal Company, except those con- tained In the formal minutes
 The minutes of the last meeting prior to the transfer of the property were not contained in the archives surrenderaa and the law officers say that the United States government had no concern in them. It is believed to be impossible therefore to gather from records in the possession of this government the names of any Americans if any there may have been. who profited by the sale of the property to the United States.

Madison.-The supreme court de-
clared as unconstitutional the Wiscon-
sin eight-hour railroad telegraphers'
law which was enacted at the 1907
session of the legislature. The law is
declared unconstitutional on the the
DRY that it is in conflict with the pro-
visions of the federal constitution
which clothes congress with the power
to regulate interstate commerce and
further on the theory that congress
having already provided law fixing
the hours of railway telegraphers from
8 to Is hours, it was not within the
power of the state to enact law
which would in effect change these
hours of labor. In effect the decision
is one of the most far-reaching Of the
court as it practically prohibits the
state enacting laws relating to the
hours of labor on inter railroads as
long as there is a federal statute in
force.
