Denies Making Assertion About Ad-

Resisting Entertainments.

Denying that he ever. directly or indi-
rectly claimed that Rear Admiral Robley
d. Evans favors the publication of the
pilot chart by the weather bureau instead
of by the photographic office. Prof. Willis
l.. Moore said today: Il wish to make it
perfectly plain that the weather bureau
did not open this discussion, and that 1t
is simply endeavoring to protect itself
from the entertainments of the hydro
graphic office"
After referring to the transfer of con-
troll of wireless biography from the
weather bureau TO the Navy Department
and the control of ocean meteorology to
the weather bureau as the result Of the
report OF board in 1904, of which Ad-
miral Evans was chairman, after the
President had approved the report, Prof.
Moore said the bureau had abided by the
decision then made and had since fur
nished the photographic office with me-
neurological data for publication on the
pilot chart. 1T has also, under the act
defining its duties he said. published
purely meteorological information of the
oceans, as it has done in various ways
during the past thirty years

Statements Declared Unfair.

Mr.. Carr protested that such statements
were unfair and prejudicial to his client $
case. and he believed an effort should be
made to ascertain who these senators
were. If any senators had already judged
the case il would disqualify them from
sitting further in the case. Mr.. Carr said
Chairman Davis said he would submit
the matter TO the senate In regular SEES
sion.
DIR. Parkhurst, who was in the cham
Der when these statements were made
was put on the stand at his own request
and declared he had been Incorrectly
quoted. and that no senators had ex-
pressed to him their judgment on the
Aids case.

photographic Offices Proposal.

Last fall" he said, the photographic
Office proposed that the weather bureau
be prohibited from publishing meteorolog-
zeal charts of the oceans and that 1t be
compelled to use the pilot charts. As
these charts would not be suitable for our
purposes we refused to comply with the
demand. whereupon the photographic Of
flee appealed to the committees in Con-
gress.'
He says the records will show that in
stead Of the weather bureau initiating ac-
| ton to curtail abolish work of the n.y.
geographic Office, the contrary is the case.
and that his bureau has contented itself
with appearing before the congressional
committees when summoned to give testi-
mony, while the photographic office has
gone so far TO get branch Offices &c
bring pressure to bear upon the commit
| tees to support its contention. In closing
| he said he felt the controversy should
have been settled between the two depart
ments, not ventilated in public.
