lures Outside Office Hours.
So . - - Hsrald.

Special 20 The Washington Herald.
Chicago. March I2.-E. T. Perkins. head
Of the United States Reclamation Service
in Chicago. admitted tonight that he had
received money from the Hartman rail-
roads while receiving $500 year salary
from the government.
The admission was made in reply TO
charges contained in the testimony of
Chief Engineer A. P. Davis, OF the Re
clamation Service before the BallingS.-
Pinchot Congressional committee at
Washington. Mr.. Davis charged that Mr..
Perkins had received an allowance OF
500 month from the Hartman roads.
But while admitting he had received
money from the Hartman lines. Mr.. Per-
kins declared the money was paid to him
for lectures delivered outside of his regu-
lar Office hours, and asserted that all
that he had done was with the express
authority of the director of the Reelama
ton Service
Il never delivered any Of the Black
Tent lectures. and never was absent
from my Office in Chicago in connection
with liCSB lCNlUlESI AtE SdiG utNtI
personally received any money for the
lectures. and the full expense accounts
attaching 10 the lectures were audited
and passed both by the participating rail-
road companies and the Secretary of the
Interior. The lectures meant nothing to
me. in any way. and I took no benefit
from them.
mo partiality was shown the Hartman
roads in these or other lectures, as Sec
rotary Ballinger was particular that there
should be no discrimination In favor of
any territory or any interest"
Following this explanation of the
BLACK Tent lectures, Mr.. Perkins said
that ne had delivered other lectures for
the Hartman railroads and had received
money for so doing.
Il have delivered lectures at other times
and other places. ne said, under an
agreement with the Hartman roads This
agreement provided that / should receive
$50 per lecture for course of twenty
four, and that the $50 was to be used in
defraying all expenses of each lecture.
I was 20 receive for my own use what
ever money might be left after the ex-
penses we're paid. This was done upon
the written authority of the director of
the Reclamation Service"

Answer to Roads to Effect
$4,000 Men.

Chicago, March 12-Possibilties OF a
strike OF 1900 flremen on forty-five rail-
roads grew more serious to-day. Little
hope was expressed by officials of the
union Of reaching a satisfactory agree
ment with the railroad managers. Union
men say the situation is grave. and that
unless concessions are made there viii
be a break in the arbitration session
within few days.
The men are demanding an increase in
wages OF Is per cent and the adoption of
certain rules providing for seniority OF
promotion from hremen to engineers.
These demands have thus far been re-
fused by the railroads.
A committee of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen has
framed a final answer 10 the general
managers COMMITTEES. The answer was
delivered TO the railroad officials tonight
but neither side would divulge its con-
tents.
