CONTINUAL CLASHES
MARK INVESTIGATION
PlnchOt and Attorney vertrees
In One Long Squabb|e

Washington, March More bicker-
fngs between Clifford Pinchot and
Counsel Vertrees for Secretary Ballin-
ger marked the days session of the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigating com.
mittee. The cross-examination of the
ex-forester was resumed and from al
most the first question asked the
squabbling began. Counsel for Mr..
Pinchot protested that the questions
were of wholly controversial charac-
ter and that they were calculated to
provoke arguments. To this Mr.. Ver-
trees replied that Mr.. Pinchot's
charges were all based on differences
and that he was compelled to follow
the path of the inferences.'
Mr.. Pinchot concluded his testimony
before the committee of inquiry by
stating that he had practically no per-
sonal knowledge of the subjects re-
garding which he had testified. He
proceeded then, however, to sum up
once more the "inferences" he wished
the committee to draw from the doc
uments already in evidence and from
the statements of witnesses yet to be
heard. Mr.. Pinchot has been on the
stand four days.
Attorney Vertrees made the point
In his cross-examination of Mr.. Pin
chot that possibly misstatements
made by Mr.. Ballinger, upon the au-
thority of others than himself. CON

president" while admitted misstate-
ments by Mr.. Pinchot to the president

Extensive Labor DemonStra-
ton at Philadelphia.
nANY UNIONS ON STRIKE
Call for General WaIkout of Organ
lied Workmen Is Responded to by
an Army of Toilers, but Their Ac-
tion Was Quiet and Peaceable-Sub-
way and Elevated Lines Not At.
fected by Latest Strike Order.

Philadelphia, March 7.-Philadel-
phia is experiencing the most exten-
sive labor demonstration in the his
tory of the city-the long heralded
general strike in sympathy with the
striking street car men.
Declared to be the first general
sympathetic strike ever called in this
country the movement of organized
labor thus made memorable was fur
ther unique for the fact that no dis
order attended the walkout. The
street car service was as good as any
day recently, 1,013 cars, according to
the company, being operated in the
early hours.
The strike call was responded to
by many thousands of workers, but
their action was quiet and peaceable
The police, who had expected trouble,
were greatly relieved to find nothing
more serious than trivial affair at
one of the trolley power houses.
The number of men on strike can
not be accurately ascertained. Direc-
tor of Public Safety Clay says not
more than 10000 walked out.
Labor Men Say $4,000 Are Out.
The only assertion the strike lead
ers will make is that $4,000 workers
are out. Officials at the city hall and
Rapid Transit company representa-
tives scoffed at the idea that the lat
ter had gone out.
The promise made by Timothy
Heely, representative of the station
AIRY firemen, who said he could cripple
the power plants, apparently was not
fulfilled The power plants were op-
Grated and cars were running with
extra policemen to guard against the
trouble looked for by the department
Of public safety.
The superintendent of the subway
and elevated lines of the traction
company said that branch of the
service would not be affected, as the
men were not unionized As a matter
of fact, the company is making a
great effort to keep this great east
and west artery of travel open.
1t was said by the union leaders
that Intentionally public facilities,
such as the service of milk, Ice and
bread, had not been curtailed and that
the men would go out after having
notified their patrons supplies were
to stop.

as an effort by the company to pre-

Praise. CITY water system.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Very few of u people seem to have
a proper appreciation of the superiority
Of our present water supply, and /
must confess thai up to a very recent
date /, too, shared the general belief
that our supply is nc better than the
average supply throughout the coun-
try. After making a trip through the
watershed section l was brought to the
conclusion that Newark has a system
that is probably ~unequalled anywhere
in the country, and I have found also
that our system is regarded in other
cities as the ideal municipal water
supply.
In the Leland-Stanford University,
in California, there are diagrams and
maps of the Newark system, and these
are used to illustrate what is there re-
garded as the perfect water system,
while in other cities in the country
the plans and system here in force are
used to develop the local system.
It would be in the nature of an edu-
cation If all our residents could visit
the watershed district and inspect the
many excellent features that have
helped to make our system n of the
finest in the world, and it would not
take an expert to see that contamina-
ton is almost impossible under the
present conditions.
The great care that is taken to keep
the system pure and the protective
measures that are adopted would be a
revelation to the average citizen, while
the fact that the water Is carefully
analysed every day and a thorough
examination made Of every portion of
the various reservoirs and intakes
would reveal. only a part of the many
safeguards that are thrown around the
local water supply.
To adequately describe the watershed
system and the methods that are EN-.
ployed in its maintenance would re-

A LESSON IN FOREST FIRES.

IN LESSON can be taken by the Legislature of New Jersey from
the forest fires that have devastated the Northwest. The
means that have been adopted in this State for protection
against forest fires are picayune and inadequate. A singular par
sgsfnony in this respect has always characterized the Legislature,
and for a reason. Bills for the protection of the forests have been
construed by railroad lobbyists as hostile to railroad interests.
Fire protection meant expense for the railroad companies in clear
ing the sides of the roads and using sparkarresters. Better the
forests should burn than that this expense should be incurred. The
loss to the State from forest fires in the last twenty years has ex
ceeded ten million dollars. Under the present law the response
bility, as we'll as expense, is imposed on the localities. The State
itself should bear the chief burden, and the State should make
and enforce regulations to fully protect the forests from the rail
road snokeastack.

a PART OF SHERMAN,S RECORD.

At 7 is for the third time that the name of VGePresident Sherman
fHt is publicly clouded. Only recently his name was brought into
the investigation of the Indian land scandals, though, as every
fbodv hopes. as innocently, as his friends have claimed. But in 1910
fEhere was another Indian land scandal Mr.. Sherman was then
sachairman of the House committee on Indian affairs and had a
dominating influence on legislation affecting the Indians. The
Florence Mining Company, q New Jersey corporation without much
emere capital than its "pull" at Washington, was seeking to get a
7mining monopoly in the Ute reservation. Mr.. Sherman openly
4advocated this company's claim in Congress, and Senator Rawlins,
40f Utah, in a hearing before the secretary of the interior on Novem-
Der II, charged him with having a personal and financial interest in
1.-THE New Jersey corporation. The mineral lands included about
e y0O00 900 acres. The objects of the corporation were successfully
opposed by the people of Utah. This is a matter of record. And
call records are not wiped out when a man is elected to a high office
hinder the government.

Lauds Fight Film Suppression.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Let all good citizens be thankful owe
the fact that the license committee of
the Common Council has fallen in line
with the police and decided not to
sanction the fight pictures. 1t vas bad
enough to have had such a fight In a
country that claims to be foremost
in the files of time" but 1t is a thou
san times worse to perpetuate the
shame. Again I say, let us all be
thankful thai Newark is spared the
disgrace of having pictured a brutal
fight. 1t is not often that the local
police are praised, not that they don't
deserve 1T. but It's just about time that
they get credit for their preventive
action. 1t was a wise move to put a
stop to the proposed exhibit at once
and not wait until trouble developed
and the harm had been begun.
Let US hope that the police will con-
tinue their vigilance in the cause of
real morality and that they will be
backed up always by others In au-
thority. RALPH.

Fair Play for MIR. sherman.

Fair Play for Mr.. Sherman.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The denunciation of Vice-Presldent
Sherman for getting more votes in the
New York State Committee for tempo
rary chairman of the Forthcoming con-
vention than Mr.. Roosevelt leads me to
ask a few questions:
First-Was not MIR. Sherman-a cib-
zen of New York State and a Republic
candidate for temporary chairman of
the Republican State convention as Mr..
Roosevelt?
Secondhand If so. what wrong was
there in his soliciting votes for him
self, provided he did not use bribery
or other illegal or immoral methods?
Third-Was not the candidacy of Mr..
Sherman-a representative stand-patter
as much in the interest of harmony
as the candidacy of MT. Roosevelt, an
Insurgent? Il think the latter can fair
ly be ranked as an I%nsurgent from his
talk and actions since the great sue
cess of this faction of the Republic
can party in the recent primary cleo
tions in the West and on the Pacific
coast. OF course, In his case we must
add the proviso found on railroad time
tables, Subject to change without no
tice.'')
Fourth-And wherein is the impu-
dence In Mr.. Sherman's remark that he
ran in the interest of harmony? It
looks to the writer that his statement
is marked by irony rather than I'M
pudence.
Lastly, let us suppose that before the
last Republican State convention In
Ohio Mr.. Sherman. a New Yorker, had
sent a personal telegram to Mr.. Taft
advising him to confer with-well, we
will say Mr.. Longworth or Boss Cox
as to the proper chairman, etc, ETC.,
and supposing further, Mr.. Taft had
quietly pocketed the telegram and
ignored the volunteered advice, could
Mr.. Taft be justly charged with i'm
pudence or trickery?
The writer feels in this controversy
much as h woman on the frontier,
who, on opening her cabin DOR one
morning, discovered her husband and
a bear in a desperate fight. She re-
marked that she didn't care much
which won, only she wanted to see the
bear get fair play. B. b.

FOWIEP,s DOODLE CANDIDACY.

m CONGRESSMAN FOWLER is right in saying that ne can
legally be candidate for the House of Representatives and
for the United States senatorship at the same time. Men
have always had that right and it cannot be taken away by a
permissive statute relating to nominations. In the case OF the con-
agresional candidacy the nomination is not to be made in primary,
Hbut in district convention, by delegates elected IN the primary. Ihe
nominating convention can wholly disregard the apparent wishes
of the party voters in the primary. Primary action on the United
States senatorship is not legally binding upon the Legislature. 1t
is nothing more than an expression of the majority choice OF the
voters which is to be used for its moral effects upon the legislators
aft Trenton in the senatorial election. The petition filed is a mere
regulation. In reaching out for Senate and House Mr.. Fowler is
likely to fall between the two stools. But he takes the risk.

Would greatly appreciate 1t If you
could enlighten me as to what would
be the outcome If the pictures of the

be produced in the theatres of New
ark. Also, how do you think the news
papers would act In the event?
Notice by an article in your paper
recently that the license committee
Of the City Council had refused to
grant a license to the promoters seek
ing same. Where do they get off to
Judge the wants in general of the
public?
We quite admit hat the members Of
that committee are elected-it is
thought by the poor voter-to repre-
sent the people of their respective
wards, but I don't think they know
what their people want in this in
stance. These same pictures are now
being shown all over the country in
towns and cities where at first they
would not think of sanctioning such an
affair, but after a trial allowed them
to be shown without any trouble at all.
At this late date we have found no
traces of rae riots, 50 why not allow
the people of Newark to have Just one
peep" at them to see how they would
act? You eve know until you try.
