WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
President Roosevelt sent to Congress;
to-day a message defending his poll
cies and bitterly denouncing those rep
resentatives Of predatory wealth who
of late, have found delight in criticisin6
the administration because Of its deter.
mination to stop dishonest practices
among wrong -doers who happen to b'
wealthy. The message is calculated L
make certain financial interests "tak'
notice." and promises to create ever
more comment than any Of the Execu
tive's recent utterances, including hi
famous Muck Rake" speech. 1t is on
Of the most sensational messages eve
penned by a President
The President devotes much of hi
message to a discussion Of the recen
financial depression. This. he declares
was purely local and due solely to thi
fragrant dishonesty of a few men o.
great wealth, who have sought to shield
themselves from the effects of thei
wrongdoing by ascribiEg its results t
the administration.
IF it is true that to cut out rotten
ness from the body polite means ;
momentary check TO an unhealthy
seeming prosperity. should not hest
tate to put the knife to the corruption,
he declares.
The President advocates the immedi
ate re-enactment Of an Employers
Liability law. limiting its scope to tn
class Of cases 10 which the Suprem'
Court has said It can constitutional.
apply, but strengthening Its provision
within this scope. He recommend
compensation for government employee
who may become injured in the ser
vice; wants legal process by injunction
continued; favors some measure o.
control by the government over tn
physical operation OF railroads; con
demns stock market gambling AM
suggests that steps be taken to proven
the use Of the mails, telegraph AM
telephones for this purpose.
The President makes caustic repl.
TO the attacks of the Standard Oil Com
pany and the Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany on the judgments renders
against them by the courts, an
charges these corporations with havin
commented untruthfully on the judg
ments.
He declares that "law-defyin
wealth" shall be controlled and mad
TO obey the law. Certain individual
and Subsidized" newspapers. which h
says have been employed to critics
the acts of the administration agains
corrupt corporations, come in for Sc
we're structure. He makes the state
ment that in this country there is on
law for all offenders, and that Jail wi
be the wrongdoers portion, whether h
be wealthy or poor.
The message in part follows:

By noting the lime it took io hll q large box it was thought the flow was between 250 and 300 gaIlon- per minute--near 100 gal. per well. Only part of the power was used, and Mir. White talks of pumping from the large we'll on the Merrill place also. After the pump was stopped measurements of the nalu- ral flow showed an increase, which no doubt resulted from the rapid movement of the water expelling sand. It demonstrates that the supply is ample.

They tried to measure the flow, but the volume was too great to permit an accurate meas. urement with the means at hand.
