Representative Bennett
Says Patten Told a Lie.
Sturdi|y Comes to Defence Of
immigration Commission.
CLAWS will Be First Witness in the
BaIIinger.Pinchot Probe.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Declaring
that James A. Patten, secretary OF the
immigration Restriction League, had
told a wicked, cruel, deliberate and
malicious lie' when he gave Macon OF
Arkansas information upon which the
latter based his speech yesterday, Ben
nett of n. Y, made a vigorous defence
of the immigration commission in the
House today.
1.-The statements of the gentleman
from Arkansas require instant full and
complete retraction,'' shouted Bennett,
after he had explained in detail the
work of the commission.
Macon met Bennets demands with
sharp reply.
Il am not going to accept what the
gentleman from New York has said
to this House as gospel exclaimed
Macon. 1T is question of veracity,
and one OF these gentlemen has as
much credence on the part of this
House as the other until one or the
other shows himself to be a liar and
the other shows himself to be saint
and the gentleman from New York is
not saint"
| Bennett denied the charges of Macon
and asserted that they had been made
without the trouble being taken to
ascertain if they were true. He said
the commission had spent only $4,000
| of the peoples money and that the
commissioners had spent more than
that amount of their own funds.

Appeals from All Parts Of the Country to National
Board Of Trade to Urge Our Government to Re-
cede from Its Position on Our Cattle and
Beef Entering the Markets Of Germany.

Many delegates brought demands for
an investigation of a national char
acter into the high cost of living which
makes consideration of that subject
Imperative. The Investigations of the
department of agriculture and the
united movements which have sprung
up through the country in the last
few weeks for a searching investiga-
ton of the causes were unofficially
recognized when the national body to-
day decided to appoint a special COM
mittee of five men qualified by their
business experience to determine the
reasons for present prices and report
if any of them were unreasonable.
Sixty Chambers of Commerce and
Boards of Trade are repre- 5ented in the
meeting. Concerted action on the live
issues of the day will be taken.
Twelve of the largest bodies come
with strong resolutions calling I'M
equvocally for ship subsidy to pro-
mote an American merchant marine.
Twelve others demand harbor and riv-
err improvements. A great many other
national questions will be brought be-
fore the body for action.
The sessions will continue until Fri
day. On Wednesday evening President
Taft will speak at a dinner.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1910-01-26

A committee to settle the dispute
is suggested and President Lalaine of
the National Board of Trade, sound
ing the note of alarm in his annual
address, spoke of the condition as
most grave, in fact threatening a great
portion of the mercantile interests of
the United States. The last negotia-
tons by the state department leave the
next move up to Germany.
THE tariff relations between the
United States and Germany have
reached almost an acute stage and it
occurs to me that the commerce of our
country is likely to suffer severely if
Germany's present attitude is main
tained," said Mr. Lalaine.
1T is possible continued Mr.. La
laine for the National Board of Trade
to get into friendly touch with the
leading trades bodies of Germany and
accomplish results which perhaps
might aid the state department, de-
partment of commerce and labor.
Another very important subject is
immigration. Our country still is
largely undeveloped and we need i'm
migrants of the best quality.
II think there should be wise laws
passed for the better distribution Of
immigrants who come here"

Washington, Jan. 25.-Alarmed by
the critical turn in the tariff contro-
versy between the United States and
Germany, appeals from the Chambers
Of Commerce and Boards OF Trade
from several cities were made to the
National Board of Trade in session
here today. urging that body to rec
ommend to the government that the
state department recede from it's pO-
sition that American beef and cattle
must be admitted to Germany if the
trade between the two nations repre-
sentng $3.50, 100000 a year to American
business houses is not to be subjected
10 the effects of tariff war.
Resolutions presented to the nation
al body maintain there can be no ad-
vantage in insisting on a German mar
ket for American beef because the
home consumption is increasing at
such rate as soon to command all
the supply and in support of this it is
cited that American cattle exports
have decreased by the millions. 1t is
pointed out that the Agrarian party
in control of the Reichstag has stood
for the principle that the farmers of
Germany must supply it's beef and
that the imperial government could
not admit the American product if it
would.

A BIG BREAK,
Stocks Take Violent Tum-
Bile at New York.
Rush Of Liquidation Evidently
Result Of Speculation.
Boston Copper Market Follows New
York's Slump In Prices.

New York, Jan. 25.-Stocks broke
from three to seven points this af-
ternoon in several of the most active
issues, with violence not often eX-
ceeded on the exchange except in pc
RODS of absolute decentralization. Early
sales were in enormous volume and
flooded the market from every quarter.
Some of the severest losses We're in
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Read
ing, Amalgamated Copper, United
States Steel and Consolidated Gas. The
announcement of an extra dividend on
steel common was not made until af-
ter the close of the market.
This rush of liquidation was general
ly conceded to be speculative and Wall
street in explanation professed acute
anxiety over the Characterization
which it was pleased to give Of the at
titude of President Taft and his ad-
ministration toward corporations in
general, both good and bad"
There was a momentary lull and a
following rally after the issuance of
a statement from the White House
eXpostulating against the sensational
Intentions attributed to the govern
ment, but at the best the weakness of
the market again became acute and
last prices were the lowest.
Prices Of wheat, corn, cotton, oats
and pork declined at the same time
with stocks and one might imagined
that the community was being given
practical object lessons in the cost of
living. Total sales for the day reach
ed the unusual figures of 1,167SS1
shares, against 5S3,7S6 a year ago.

the floods are most severe.
The minister of marine has ordered

this afternoon that they were begin

they are rising steadily and the official
estimate tonight is that the Seine will
be at least 10 inches higher by tomor-
row afternoon
The victims of the flood number
more than 100000 and the monetary
loss is incalculahle. Thousands Of
poor are hopelessly ruined and are
fleeing to Paris. The government by
urgent measures has reuuisitioned
army and navy material to house the
suffers and boats for the rescue of the
stricken, as well as those imprisoned
in the houses in the flood centers on
all sides of Paris.
The region of inundation is steadily
charging, and villages, in scores of
places. are completely submerged; the
people fleeing for their lives and aban-
doning everything. In many cases the
soldiers have been obliged to use force
in compelling the inhabitants to
evacuate their homes. Hundreds of
them refused to leave, clamoring only
for food and water.
In Paris the situation is rapidly be-
coming worse, the floods sparing Meth

The flood is insidiously invading the
compactly built area on either side
of the winding Seine, undermining the
residences and public buildings and
forcing the evacuation of many houses.
