PAYNE CRITICISED.
AdUocates of WaterTcays Did
Not Lake His Letter.
From The Tribune Bureau 7

Washington, Dec. 10. - Representative
Serene E. Payne would not get many votes
in a popularity contest in the New York
delegation to the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress. In fact he is the subject
OF much hostile criticism in that quarter
Yesterday the New York delegates TO the
congress held a meeting at the Willard
Hotel. TO which they invited the New
York Senators and Representatives. Most
OF the members OF the delegation We're
present. but Mr. Payne did not attend.
Instead he sent a letter.
Neither Mr.. Payne's absence nor the fact
that he sent letter of regret has caused
the unfavorable comment. but the con-
tents of the epistle were such as TO put
a damper on the ardOr OF the enthusiastic
waterways men. The substance OF the
communication was that Mr.. Payne was
too busy with his duties at the Capitol 10
lose time discussing river and harbor i'm
provements and that he was not in sym
pathy with the purposes Of the Rivers and
Harbors Congress. anyway. he also an
nouneed that ne was opposed to a bond
issue for public works and intimated that
re woult oppose such a plan.
some OF the New York delegates were
Indignant at the latter and announced
their determination 10 start fight on Mr.
Payne. His colleagues In the House. how
ever. point out that one Of Mr. Paynes
strong characteristics is his absolute can
dor and that the people OF his district
greatly admire this quality. Mr. Payne
was elected chairman OF the New York
delegation to-day and Hamilton Eish Uas
made secretary.

Some people are blaming Willis L.
Moore, chief Of the United States weather
bureau, for not telling us about the
spell of weather into which we have
been thrust falling to remember that
not even Mn Moore has nature SO well
harnessed that he can give US the par
ticular brand which we ask for But,
II there Ii any reliance to be placed in
the word Of this same gentleman, then
this part Of the United States is facing
long period Of cold, stormy weather.
Mr.. Moore doesn't claim infallibility in
his predictions, but he says be does
place considerable faith on the indica-
tions that he has noted People general
" are inclined to find fault if the pre-
dictions of the weather department Of
the United States government fail to be
substantisted now and then, not taking
into consideration the varied caprices Of
nature and the impotency Of man to
fathom them. At any rate, we should
be expecting low temperatures, for il is
the beginning Of the frigd time Of the
year, when people in the northern elimes
hive up as completely as their conditions
warrant; whether advisedly or not is a
question for the health experts to decide.
