MANN LACKED AN AUDIENCE.
No Witnesses Appeared at His Com

Washington, Jan. 22-Although the In
terstate Commerce Committee of the House
is bent with labor, no member of that
body is too busy to resent quotations. such
as "a voice crying in the wilderness or
"the banquet hall deserted" Behind this
state of mind there hides a story When it
was proposed that the committee should
hold hearings on railroad rate legislation
Representative Mann. the chairman, thought
it would be only just that every one who
cared to be present at the hearings should
have an opportunity. He made arrange
ments that the hearings should be held in
the magnificent conference room in the
House Office building
Here last week he summoned the mem-
hers of his committee for a hearing. Mr.
Mann, emulating Chief Justice Fuller. sat
on massive mahogany chair, with red
plush draperies behind him. and a red
plush table In front of HIM He lacked only
the gown. His COLES CUES sat on little
less massive chairs, with red plush on all
sides of them. A raised platform placed
the committee above the expected audi
tors and a deneanor of grave dignity

but none came. Then somebody Whispered
and awoke the echoes in the vast room
This terrified some of the tinnid members.

been decided that the hearings shall be

TROUBLE ON FARM.
Not Raising Meat Enough,
Says Secretary Wilson.

Washington, Jan. 22-"Undoubtedly if
the farms were raising more meat the
price would be reduced said Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Agriculture
to-day in commenting on the boycott
against meat products. There are not
enough people the farms raising food
and too many people are going to the
towns to be fed.
"Three-quarters of a million of people,
said the Secretary, ARE coming to the
limited States annually from abroad. They
do not go to the farms. where they might
help raise food for the nation. Farmers
cannot get help. The immigrants go TO the
cities, and they have to be fed. The cities
produce nothing to eat. although they do
produce something TO drink.
Have you any plan for inducing people
TO go to the farms, where they may help
TO raise food?' the Secretary was asked.
Jim Hill says they will go there when

shaking his head in reply to the question

mel George w Goethals. whose conduct of
affairs on the isthmus mas won the un-
qualified admiration not only of the admin
istration. but of the members of Congress
who have visited the isthmus AS a matter
of fact, Colonel Goethals hsS long enjoyed
the support of the administration to an
extent which has made him the supreme
head not only of canal construction but Of
the civil government of the Canal Zone.
OF course there has been full and free
consideration of all important questions by
the commission. but as each member knew
that at a word from Colonel Goethals he
would be removed from the commission,
the colonel found no difficulty in presenting
his views with convincing force, and as
chairman of the commission he has merely
made it a practice not TO adjourn its meet
ings until the vote on each question was
unanimous. The President is a sincere adj
vocate of the Mann bill, and will approve
it with the utmost pleasure.
President Taft Is not the only member
of this administration who enjoys the ad-
vantage of previous experience in the Cab
met. The Secretary of State won the en-
tire confidence of Congress Attorney
General, and 1t was, perhaps. because he
then demonstrated so completely his abil-
ity to organize federal department and
to expend large sums to the best possible
advantage that Congress freely placed at
his disposal the $1,000 for foreign trade
extension which has already borne such
excellent fruits When Mr.. Knox was At

posal, practically without restrictions,
100000 to enforce the Sherman antitrust
law, and with an expenditure OF only
comparatively small portion of that sum

the antitrust statute. 1t is the comment
