HOUR LAW
To Bring Test Cases as to Space
to Be Allowed Live
Stock in Cars

A controversy has arisen between
some of the railroads of the country
and the larger live stock shippers in
regard to the space In the cars which
must be afforded animals in transit
from one state to another in order to
make unloading unnecessary and still
comply with the twenty-tight hour
law. This law provides that when the
animals are carried in cars in which
they can and Go have proper food, wa.
ter, space, and opportunity to rest
they shall not be required to be un-
loaded. The department of agricul'
.ttre has been apvealed to by both
railroads and shippers. and today TIL,
position Of the department Is tenta-
lively announced as follows.
IL cars are not loaded beyond the
minimum weight fixed by the taliffs,
the department will not, for the
present, raise the question as to
whether sufficient space Is provided
for the animals to rest; but railroads
which load beyond the minimum and
do not unload for rest will have to
take theil chances OF prosecution In
lie courts.
1t is the intention of the department
to institute number of test cases
and secure rulings from the Federal
courts as to what space must be af-
rorded. Ii Is claimed by the depart
rient that this Is the only course
open, since no power is given the sec
retary of agriculture by the law to
rake rulings and regulations regard
irg space to be afforded in cars.
In all cases where live stock is not
lnloaded en- route into properly
equipped pens for rest, water. and
feeding the cars must be provided
with facilities for feeding and water
ing in transit, and live stock must,
v hen so fed and watered, receive
proper feed and water.

BAlL|NGER'S ATTORNEY
BITTERLY SARCASTIC
Tells Committee What He
Thinks Of Garfield and
Plnchot
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., May 2S.-Oscar
Lawler, assistant attorney general for
the interior department, today said
he had sent to the Ballinger-Pinchot
investigating committee and to Chris
topher P. and James B. Connoly let
ters disavowing any intention of do
ing the Messrs. Connolly injury IN
his testimony before the committee,
; and Withdrawing his remarks with an
apology
Christopher p. Connolly, a lawyer
Of Montana and New York, and a well
known writer for the magazines, III
ed suit In the supreme court of the
District of Columbia to recover $20,-
000 damages for alleged SANDER from
Oscar Lawler.
The basis Of the action Is the testi-
mony alleged to have been given by
Mr.. Lawler May IL before the Ballin-
ger-Pinchot committee wherein Mr..
Lawler Is alleged to have referred to
Mr. Connolly and Others as "desplc-
able scoundrels. who would stoop to
any depths of degradation"
He Is further alleged to have testi-
fled that "a man named Connolly
stood In the dock of the steamship
Republic just before she went down
and trampled down women and chill
dren in an attempt to get to the life
boat"
Mr.. Connolly charges that this con-
Meeting of him with the person on
board the Republic Is false, and that
the accusation was malciousIy made.
Mr., Connolly said later that at the
time of the loss OF the Republic he
was In Los Angeles, many miles away
from the scene of the disaster.
BaiIinger's Attorney Sarcastic.
Ballinger's action in drafting the
Cunningham affidavit and presenting
1t to Secretary Garfield and the land
office was justified by his attorney on
the ground that he had left the public
service at that time and was pri-
yate citizen.
Former Secretary Garfield was de-
nounced as disappointed office
seeker who knew that "once stripped
of his saddle he would find himself a
mere pony" while PlnchGt was charao
terized as small 'possum up very big
tree
