DEMOCRATS FLAY
SUBSIDY SCHEME
TRANSPARENT PRETENSE" IS
CHARGED TO BILL
Minority Report Declares Free Vessel
Provision of Measure Is Value
less and Is but "Bait for
Suckers"
Associated Pressl

ANNe"~~@@f~NN
WASHINGTON, March 5.--The ad-
ministration ship subsidy bill, intro
duced by Representative Humphrey OF
Washington, was denounced as dealing
unfairly with congress and the peo-
ple" and as being "a delusion and q
snare, shrewdly devised to catch the
unwary and mislead public sentiment,
in minority report filed today by the
seven Democratic members of the com
mittee on merchant marine and fish
cries.
The minority report declares that the
passage of the Humphrey bill would
result in no upbuilding of the American
merchant marine. unless its enact
ment should engender the hope that
much larger subsidies would be granted
after the bill is started rolling
The report says the profit now de-
rived by the government from hand
ling ocean mail would be absorbed by
the Morgan syndicate and other lines
on the Atlantic coast and by the
Spreckels line on the Pacific coast, so
that new lines would have no oppor-
tunity to share in the subsidy.
The statement that ship subsidy
would take no money from the ma
tional treasury is declared to be a
transparent pretense," in that the
profits of the postoffice department on
ocean mail carrying would be diverted
to a subsidy of steamship lines.
The free ship provision of the bill is
declared valueless, and, says the re-
port, ''if this section of the bill was
thrown out as a bait to catch Demo
cratic suckers the purpose will fall"
The report concludes; 1--WE are i'm
PEELED to the conclusion that no sub
stantial and permanent good of a pub
lie nature would be accomplished by
its enactment"

NEW MEXICANS TO GO EAST
TO FIGHT FOR STATEHOOD
subcommittee Named by Democratic
State Central Board to Leave
for Capital Monday

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ. March 81
The subcommittee named by the New
Mexican Democratic central committee
will leave for Washington Monday to
present to the senate committee on ter
ritories objections against the state
hood bill.
The delegation opposes the Hamilton
bill on the ground that the provision
for a constitutional convention is un-
fair and is hostile to the Beveridge
bill because it gives the power to con-
gress and the president to reject the
constitution. If the delegation finds the
committee on territories has completed
its hearings it will appeal to the Demo-
cratic senators to defeat the bill.
The members of the delegation from
here are National Committeeman A.

of Clovis and Judge w. r. Magill Of

cluded / was guilty of their murders
and of attempts to murder others. l

ENGINEMEN DEMAND
INCREASE IN WAGES
General Managers Association Will
Not Act and Refers Men to
Companies Which Em-
ploy Them

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Broth
erhood Of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen of the thirty-two eastern
railroads have submitted to the Gen
eral Managers association formal
demand for an increase in wages. This
demand is similar to that presented to
the same roads last December by the
Order of Railway Conductors and the
brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
and which are now in their final
stage of negotiation.
General Manager j. c. Stuart of the
Erie road refused to accept the de-
mands as chairman of the General
Managers association, declaring he
would meet a committee OF the Erie
firemen, but that the brotherhood
would have to deal with each road
senarately and not through the as
sociation, which he said had no agree
ment concerning wages. This reply Is
similar to that given the conductors
and trainmen.
Grand Master w. S. Carter of the
brotherhood of Firemen will now pro-
ceed to make separate demand on
all the railroads.
The demand involves about 10000
firemen on the railroads east of thA
Mississippi and north of the Baltimore
& Ohio system. 1t does not affect the
enginemen belonging to the union who
have been advanced from firemen.
The wage demands are for increase in
pay from $3.50 day to So. Numerous
changes in working conditions also
are demanded.
The railroads will now confer with
committees from their tiremen as they
did with the trainmen and conduc-
tors in an effort to reach a satisfac-
tory agreement

secrets of her household for many
years.
With tears coursing down her cheeks,
she repeatedly rose from the witness
chair as she told her story. She told
of the courtship of Dr. Hyde, how she
tried to like him as a son-in-law, OF
her belief that he had attempted TO
murder her relatives and at one time
tried to poison her.
The charge that DIR. Hyde tried to
poison Mrs. Swope Is new feature IN
the case.

"I drank some of it, and noticing the
peculiar taste, asked him where ne

''At last despite my objections, they

Here the wornan's emotions over
came her. Tears flowed from her eyes.
She choked and for a moment was
unable to speak. Summoning all her
strength, she arose from the chair and
almost shrieked:
"And every moment of the time he
was standing there he was planning
the murder of members of my family"
After this TRADE, the aged woman
sank almost exhausted into her chair.
When she resumed talking 1t was in
defense of her daughter. Mrs. Hyde.
"Frances is a dear, pure girl, and l

she said 81 love her and none can

Repeatedly Mrs. Swope's attorneys
attempted to silence her. But she was
pouring out her soul and her advisers
went unheeded.

MUNICH AL FARM
FOR PRISONERS
is CITY'S PLAN
1900 Acres to Be Cultivat-
ed by Offenders TO Pro-
fit of Municipality
BARTLETT'S PROJECT
Big Revenue, and Better
Conditions for Men, AS
sured by New System

Nh UNICIPAL farming on 1900 acres
WI of the city's land is to be made
Az possible If proposed ordinance
to be presented to the city council on
Tuesday Is passed by that body.
The project is planned on the same
lines that have been successful IN
Cleveland, Ohio. 1t Is a project on
which Rev. Dana w. Bartlett. head OF
Bethlehem institute, has been work
ing for many months, and members OF
the council with whom he has dis
cussed the matter are enthusiastic IN
its favor. -
The city owns 1900 acres of land adj
joining Griffith park. This Is a tract
from which most of the city's water
supply comes, but the land itself IS
not utilized for any particular pur-
pose. 1t Is excellent farming land ana
especially adapted for growing vege-
tables. BY the annexation of East
Hollywood Griffith park, this adJoln-
ing land has been taken into the linz
it's of the city and the last obstacle
from legal point of view to DR.. Bart
lett's plan has been removed.
1t Is intended TO send petty Offend
ers. such as inebriates and disorderiy
persons, to this farm instead of con-
fining them for a stated period In the
city or county jails. The prisoners
will be kept under guard and there
will be a superintcndent for the farm.
The men win be put to work cultivat-
ing vegetables and doing other proht-
able work The results of their labors
II is expected will bring a profit to
the city, for all the produce Will be
sold and the money turned into the
city treasury.
Had Plan In Mind
Although Or. Bartlett has been pre-
pared to take this matter UP with the
council for several months he was un-
able to do so because the tract was
outside the city limits. The courts re-
fused to send prisoners outside the
city, as then they would have no jur-
isdiction over them.
DR.. Bartlett estimates that $2500 will
be sufficient to finance the farm for
the remainder of this fiscal year and
VIII ask the council to appropriate
this sum.
In addition to the profitable side of
the scheme II presents many advan-
tares 1t will relieve the overcrowded
condition of the city jail which has
brought protests from number or
civic bodies. 1t also VIII give the
petty criminals outdoor employment
and DR.. Bartlett believes IL will benefit
them In a moral as well as physical
way.
AS tfie pidh ueNSiops - WAi -
broader and more features will be
added. one feature which DR.. Bart
lett has in contemplation Is the es-
tablishment of a small hospital at the
farm where drink cure he admins
ters to his patients with remarkable
success can be given to inebriates.
At first the work will be begun in a
small way. The aqueduct officials have
drawn plans for camp similar 70
those fahiished on the aqueduct with
accommodations for thirty men. These
men will not be expected TO cultivate
the entire 1900 acres of land, but do
such work as they can and when the
success of the plan is proved more
camps will be established.

WASHINGTON. March 5.-The Pa

carried to President Taft today by
William r. Wheeler, traffic manager
of the merchants exchange of San

The president intends the admins

vision to guard against the situation
which the west fears. 1t may not be
accomplished at this session of con-
gress. but the president hopes some
action will be taken before the Pan
anna canal is opened.
Mr.. Wheeler pressed that feature of
the case strongly to the president.
''The Panama canal was primarily
intended for the passage of warships.

unless we have legislation to prevent
1t, we shall have another kind of war
