RAILROAD CONTROL.
Commissioner Franklin X. Lane Saws
Federal Control Over Capital
izatiOn is Necessary.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Federal con-
troll over the capitalization of rail-
roads and an extension of the powers
of the interstate commerce commits
sion were urged by Commissioner
Franklin X. Lane in an address here
today. Declaring that federal con-
troll is bound to come, he said: X
Il would have every railroad
board of directors which issues stock
or bonds, record in it's minutes the
precise purpose for which they are
to be issued. Then l would hold the
board for all time to compliance
with that purpose. Then if we find
that $1,O00,000 has been raised for
equipment and spent upon Wall street
for speculative purposes the direct
ors should be held criminally liable.
The interstate commerce commission
has developed on the part of the rail-
roads serious respect for the law"

TRIBUTE TO R. B. BRYAN.

High Standard Of Public Schools
of State.

OLYMPIA, Saturday. Dec. 10
State Superintendent H. b. Dewey's
biennial report to the governor and
the state legislature will be ready
for distribution within few davs.
Mr.. Dewey, in his remarks following
the general report, pays sincere
tribute of appreciation of the worth
OF the late State superintendent, r.
b. Bryan, whose death occurred last
April, and also to Deputy Superin-
tendent +. M. McCully, who died
in March of 1907. Mr.. Dewey claims
that to large degree the high stand
ard which the public schools of the
state have attained during the past
ten years has been largely due to the
intelligent and Jealous efforts of
these two prominent educators. The
present state superintendent makes
the assertion that the cause of educa-
tion in the state lost two hopeful pro-
moters when Superintendent Bryan
and his deputy We're removed by
death

CRAZED BY FALL FROM HORSE

QUINCY, Dec. ia very pecu-
liar accident brought serious conse-
quences yesterday to Garland Hoff-
man, about 10 years of age, son of
Nicholas Hoffman of this city. The
oyung man was riding a work horse,
estimated to have weighed at least
1900 pounds, and in going over
some posts the horse stumbled and
fell, turning completely over and
landing on top Of his rider. Hoff-
man was piced up unconscious, but
was revived sufficiently to be able
to walk around and move his limbs.
His reason, however, had apparently
forsaken him. He was brought to
Quincy today to be taken to the hos
pital in Wenatchee.
The unfortunate young man was
raised in Aberdeen, where his father
worked in the Wilson mill for many
years, removing with his family to
a farm near Quincy about three years
ago.

10 N1ke Thorough Investigation
of Canal Deal.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1S.-The In
dlanapolis News, mentioned in the
speclal message on the Panama Canal
zeal sent to Congress Tuesday bv
PRESIDENT Roosevelt, yesterday is
sued reply to the chief executives.
III is difficult to characterize full
~ the latest outbreak of the president
without resorting TO the use of Ian
guage as undignifed and blame
worthy as that which puts the presi-
dents utterance in class by itself
in the official literature of the high
Office he holds. Whatever proyoca-
tion Mr. Roosevelt may have felt
pricking his soul, nothing could iusti.
fy or eXtenuate the torrent of in
Vectlve and virulence which he
poured out in a state paper upon the
heads or private citizens. No one in
MS SOBER senses can fail to regard
the performance as grave deroga-
tlon to the dignity of the presidential |
station, pitiable exhibition of low
erlng rage on the part of the chief
magistrate and the source of humila-
tlon and chagrin to the entire coun-
try.
1t is quite impossible to think of
any OF Mr. Roosevelt's long line of
distinguished predecessors that could
possibly have so forgotten the dig
nifty and decency of his exalted no.
sition as to transmit to Congress n
message in any way comparable with
that of Tuesday.
Pronunciation and bitterness of
speech are no explanation and no an
SWer. Assumption that The Now
YORK World and it's proprietor were
.hIiuenced by base unworthy motives

touchlng the Panama affair cannot

be the person that makes it,"
The News states that the World I'M
doubtedly has what it honestly con-
sideged sufficient grounds for beliey-
ing fnat everything has not been as
1t should have been in the acouisi-
ton by this country of the Panama
canal interests from their former
owners, although ntcspaper NAV no
deceived.
The News states that whether
Roosevelt knows it or not. rumors
ana reports touching the Panama
transaction nave been numerous and
persistent and that in spite of all as
sertlons people are still not convinc-
ed that everything was as it should
nave been, this without in the least
lmpunging the good faith of the
president or his agents in the negoti-
atlons. The News said many points
nave not been cleared up and they
cannot be cleared up by threats of
libel suits and pen lashings of edi-
tors that hold the good name and the
interests of the country quite as dear
as does the president.
The paper, in concluding, says the
resolution introduced in the House
by Henry 7. Rainey, Democrat, of
Illinois, should be adopted and that
congress should make a searching in
vestlgation OF all the facts, circum-
stances and rumors connected with
the Panama activities of the govern

PULITZER FOR PANAMA.
Presumed He Goes to Secure Evi
dence in Connection With Pur-
chase of Canal.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Dec. 10.
Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the
New York World, accompanied by
a party of friends and several staff
writer's, arrived off Old Point Com
fort today in Pulitzer's yacht Lib
erty.
1t is said he is on his way to
Panama to investigate conditions pre-
vailing in the canal zone and prob
ably secure evidence in connection
with the purchase of the canal prop
erty by the government.
Pluitzer's trip is of special inter-
est on account of the attitude of
President Roosevelt in demanding
that congress have Pulitzer and other
publishers prosecuted for criminal
libel for publishing articles attack
ing the administration in connection
with the canal purchase.
