President Peck is a close reader of

railroad, and last night had all the
dailies sent to his room.
Reading the report in The News of
the visit of his party and the rumor of

quoted, and that he was in no posi-
tion to talk about what was simply a
rumor.
Interested at Rogausa.

WHAT WILL Be SHOWN ON MAP
Government to Give Settlers Full In
formation Concerning All Lands
in the State.

Work on the soil survey of Forrest
county by members of the Bureau of
Soils of the United States Department
of Agriculture, was started today by
w. E. Tharp of Washington, an assist
ant in that bureau. Mr.. Spann, who
will assist Mr.. Tharp, will arrive to-
night, and by the end of the week, it
is expected, much will have been ac-
complishel.
AS noted in The News several weeks
ago, Congressman Bowers secured an
appropriation for survey of the soils
OF this county and an order to push
the work. Mr.. Tharp's arrival yester-
day is the result. For the coming
two months both gentlemen will be
employed in the work
When seen this morning, Mr.. Tharp
gave out much interesting and instruct
i've information regarding his worl;
here. He stated that several years
ago this method of making soil sur
yeys, and mapping the country sur
vcyed by means of base map with
different colors being placed on the
map, where certain kinds of soil, eacf
color will be found representing {
soil, was instituted in the department
arout ten years ago by Prof. Whitney
of the bureau. The United States il
trying to make comprehensive maps
such as will be made of this county
throughout the country The surve.
of this county will be a complete on,
and will take in every section of LAM
in Forrest county.
Real Picture of County.
This survey and map" he said, 81
essentially a description of the agri
cultural resources of this county Th
scheme of classification that will b
used is uniform with that use,
throughout the United States. Tn
survey will also embody a written re
port, in which points of interest vii
be taken up and the transportatio-
facilities and agricultural method
will be discussed

state; however, a survey of PRACTICAL
the whole state will be made by partie
in the employ of the bureau, befor
the department shall consider tn

Index to Soils.
These soil surveys, when con
pleted," he stated, "are intended t
be an index 10 the soils of the count!
and it is hoped that they will fill tn
needs of those of the Northern cit
zens who are becoming interested j
buying Southern farm lands. Sine
certain kinds of soil take certain kind
of crops better than others, the buye
would first naturally pick out whs
he wanted to plant and then pick tn
soil, or vice versa. Either way woul
be more profitable than the system {
buying land that looks pretty ar
experimenting as to what fertilizer
to use and what to grow"

The advertising campaign through
the Northwest and Canada, which has

The first movement will come to

MARTIN AROUSES VREELAND
New York and Colorado Mem
bers Near Fight.

Washington. June Is. - Representative
Crumpacker. of Indiana, was defending
Attorney General Wickersham in respect
to the disposition of the friar lands in the
Philippines to-day when Representative
Martin. of Colorado interrupted to ques-
ton some statements Mr.. Crumpacker had
made. He was persistent, and Mr.. Crum-
packer was quite as persistent in his dec
lination to yield.
The rules of the House" shouted Mr..
Crumpacker, ARE made for the observance
of gentlemen"
Mr.. Crumpacker scowled at Mr. Mar
tin, who jumped to his feet and gsred at
the member from Indiana.
And continued Mr.: Crumpacker. 'the
gentleman from Colorado will observe the
rules
At this moment vigorous applause was
heard from a member near the Speakers
desk
Mr.. Martin suggested that the member
applauding should come forward
Instantly Mr.. Treeland. of New York
stepped to the front. His face was flushed
in anger He evidently took Mr.. Martins
invitation as a challenge. AS the New York
member advanced and clash seemed i'm
nlinent, Representative Greene. of Massa-
chuSetts, who was in the chair nounded
his desk and called for order Mr. VreeIand
paused. glanced toward the chair and hacl,
toward Mr.. Martin. Then he took his seat
and Mr.. Crumpacker continued his re-
marks.

that the President would never have found
himself irrevocably committed 10 an in
dorsement of the Secretary had he not at
critical points been successfully deceived
as to the real significance of what was
happening in the department.
Although the administration of which
Mr.. Ballinger was a part was aVowedly
committed Mr.. Pepper declares, ITO a
continuation of the policy adopted under
President Roosevelt of protecting from
nonopolistfc exploitation the water power
sites belonging to the people. Mr.. Ballnger
wilfully struck that policy a staggering
blow by hastily restoring 10 entry power
sites Withdrawn by Garfield, thus placing
them within the reach of uncontrolled pri-
vate acquisition. where they would remain
to-day but for the intervention OF the
President
Mr.. Pepper quotes from the record at
great length going 10 show that Mr..
Ballinger n1isled the President in present
ing to him his own relation to the Alaskan
coal cases, in explaining his course in re-
storing power sites and his attitude toward
the Reclamation Service He contends that
the President would have taken some Wig
orous action to save the efficiency of the
Reclamation Service when Mr. Pinchot
grafton from Mr.. Ballfnger's adninistra-
ton had he not been misled by the Secre-
tary's assertion that no intimations of
trouble had ever come to him from the
chief officers of that service.

RAILROAD BILL
Only One Feature Now Prevents
Agreement.
PERIOD OF SUSPENSION
Long and Short Haul Clause
May Be Changed-Confer-
rees Consult President.

Washington. June 13-A session Of the
conferrees on the railroad bill was held to-
night at the home of Senator Elkins. Only
one feature of the bill remains as a serious
bar to final agreement That relates to the
period of suspension of increases in rates
pending an investigation by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to determine the
reasonabIeness of the advances.
President Taft showed marked interest in
this provision and, although a tentative
agreement was reached regarding 1t. this
suggestion of compromise must be submit
ted to him before it Is finally placed in the
bill II is understood that Senators Elkins
and Aldrich and Representative Mann will
take their tentative draft to the White
House tomorrow.
An unusual situation exists in regard TO
this portion of the bill The bill passed by
the House would provide for a suspension
Of an increased rate for not more than four
months. The Senate bill would make the
same provision, except that. according TO
an amendment by Senator Jones. the COM
mission would be empowered to make
further suspension. not to exceed six
months. in the event that the original
period had been insufficient TO ascertain
whether the increases were reasonable.
Mr.. Mann, it is said. favored the reten-
ton of the Senate amendment. while Sena-
tors Elkins and Aldrich were willing 10 &C
cept the provision in the House bill
President iFaft was reported 10 favor
COMPROMISE which would make the total
suspension six months The Presidents
idea may prevail The Senate conferrees
offered 10 accept this proposition. but until
tonight at least failed TO convince Mr.
Mann that the work of the Senate was not
best.
Another important feature settled tenta-
lively hu. which may yet be changed. IS
the provision to prohibit the railroads from
charging higher rate for short than for
a. long haul Western Senators expressed
fear that the House provision would be de-
cIared unconstitutional. and therefore they
have urged the Senate conferrees TO insist
on the amendment adopted by the Senate.
The difference is that the House pro-
vision might be construed as deIesatins
legislative authority TO the commission,
while the Senate provision prescribes the
rule by which the commission might make
exceptions 10 the general rule. Mr.. Mann
Stakes his reputation" on the effectiveness
OF the House provision
The Senate conferrees are disposed 10
take the House provision. and will do so
II the western senators WHO nave ullNo1
taken to look into the legal phase of the
situation report tomorrow that it is sat-
isfactory to them.
The stock and bond feature of the House
bill is TO be eliminated. and a provision
for the appointment of a commission to
investigate the whole subject of the pro-
posed federal regulation of the securities
of railroads will be substituted 1t is I'M
derstood that $4,000 will be appropriated
to defray the expenses of the commission.

Brandeis's Plea for CLAWS.


Mr.. Brandeis in the introductory chapter
of his brief discusses what he calls Mr..
Ballinger's unftness as trustee for the
people, and asks: rs Mr.. Ballinger a man
single-minded, enlightened and courageous
so zealously devoted to the interests of the
common people. so vigilant and resolute in
resisting the insidious aggressions of the
special interests. That to him may be in
trusted the carving sforward of the broad
policy of CONSERVATISM of our national re-
sources?" .- -
In answer he says: THAT Mr.. Ballinger
does not meet these simple tests has been
conclusively established, and if only this
is true, the Department Of the Interior
should he under other guidance. The best
defence that Mr.. Ballinger has offered is
that he was ignorant of the situation in
Alaska, and that all of the acts for which
he was criticised were performed by sub
ordinates for whom he is not responsible.
Such q defence is enough TO condemn him
The record amply discloses Mr.. Ballngers
knowledge of the situation. The evidence
in the record and the conduct of Mr. Bal
finger throw strong light upon his charac-
ter. No man with such a character would
be trusted by an individual or private cor
poration with care of important property
interests
Other chapters describe 'Glavis's inter
vention to save the Alaska coal lands"
and review the. clear listing of the Cum
ningham claims by Mr.. BaIlnger who was
then Commissioner of the Land Office The
brief says: I'VE do not pretend to fathom
Ar. Balinger's mind and to discover the
motives which prompted him to clear-list
the Cunningham claims Whatever his
motives were. his act was indefensibie.
The order clear-lsting the Cunningham
claims shows that Mr. Ballinger had no
proper conception of his duty as a trustee.
and that he was willing TO abet what he
would describe as a 'technicaT violation of
the statute by which the Cunningham coal
lands would pass unlawfully into private
ownership. instead of being kept by the
United States for subsequent disposal I'M
der laws which should adequately protect
~, int
