DR.. BUCKLEY APPEALS
FOR COPY OF CHARGES
Petition in Mandamus for Re-
turn Of Allegations Against
Huntington Wilson.

DIR. James Edward Buckley of Chicago
who recently filed two suits in mandamus
against Secretary Knox to secure access
to private reports In the State Depart
ment concerning the conduct of James G.
Bailey. former charge d'affaires In Mex
leo, today filed in the District Supreme
William H. Moses, foreman of the grand
jury.
DR.. Buckley seeks the courts aid to
compel Mr.. Moses to submit to the
grand jury for consideration a petition
Of the physician embodying charges of
alleged slander said to have been ut
tered against him by Huntington Will
son, assistant secretary OF state.
DIR. Buckley's Allegations.
DIR. Buckley tells the court he has en-
deavored to secure consideration of his
charges for the past ten months, having
run the gamut, he declares, from Presi
dent Taft to Senator Cullom, chairman of
the foreign relations committee of the
Senate. and has received no considera-
ton. Recently, he states, he petitiOned
Mr.. Moses, as foreman of the grand jury,
to submit to that body petition charg-
ing Huntington Wilson with criminal
slander by reason of his comm unicatiOn
of March 5, 1910. to Senator Jones.
The petitioner charges that Mr.. Moses
has suppressed the petition or at least
failed to present it to his associates on
the grand jury. DR.. Buckley declares it
is unjust. unfair and not American to
deny American citizens redress.
The physician was in Mexico in the
fall of 10c9 and was called in to attend
an emergency case in which an operation
was to be performed which might have
a fatal termination. DR.. Buckley says
he telegraphed the Mexican charge to Sc
cure immunity for him. and claims he
was not furnished the proper protection
due an American citizen.

Pontoon bridges have served tempo

cially In warfare. Mention Is made of
their use very early In history. and one
of the most notable occasions was
when the Persian army under Xerxes
crossed the Hellespont on two pontoOn

and the other of 314. These were an

The Romans had wickerwork vessels

The construction of highway bridges
In this country began to assume prac-
hcal proportions about the year 1900,
when many wooden bridges were built
in the eastern and central states by
Theodore Burr and Timothy Palmer.

were built from this time on, and they
became well known as ''Towne' or
covered" bridges. II is doubtful If
much attention was given to econom-

protect the trusses from the weather
by wooden roofs and sides in some in

years. and some are still In existence

know just why and where this money
is to be expended. Hence they are
taking advantage of the temporary
let-up in affairs at Washington to in

Speaker Clark has urged all the
Democrats to visit the canal zone at
some time, and practically all of them

Why Teddy Was Doomed
The Roosevelt denomination talk,
which was more pronounced during
the recent meeting of the Republican
national committee than at any time
since the former presidents return
from Africa, has died down again. And
now comes the report that this talk
was started by the old guard leaders
among the committeeman for the pur-
pose of frightening Mr. Taft into al
lowing them to have control of the
preliminaries of the next Republican
convention in Chicago. This control
means a big advantage to those who
possess 1t, for with 1t goes the authori-
ty to dictate seating arrangements, ad.
missions, distribution of patronage
and committee assignments; In short,
1t means control of the convention
right up to the time of balloting
The Roosevelt talk, according to
the best information, did not spring
from the friends of the former presi-
dent, but from his enemies. The plan
was, by starting this talk, to discon-
cert and divide the insurgents. Then,
with Mr. Taft described by all except
the southern postmaster delegates,
deadlock could be forced, which could
be broken at the proper time in favor
of compromise candidate accepta.
BILE to the old guard leaders.
AS result of these Vaccinations It
has been stated, apparently with some
show of authority, that Mr.. Taft is so
disgusted with conditions within his
party, that he may withdraw from the
race entirely
Seeking Way Out
That the men who control the big
industrial corporations of the coun.
try are convinced that the people are
determined to break up these mon
opolies and that they are seeking a
way to escape this mandate of the
people, are among the more import
ant facts brought out by the Senate
trust investigating committee.
Louis ID. Brandeis, the noted Boston
lawyer, told the committee that the
statements of Mr., Gary and Mr.. Per-
kins that the trusts were willing to
accept price fixing law. were only
apparent concessions. What the mag
mates want, Mr.. Brandeis said, is the
passage of the Aldrich monetary
scheme, which will insure the contin-
uance of a centralized control of mon.
ey and credit, on which all business
depends. These magnates, the lawyer
testified, are bending every effort to
gain the enactment of the Aldrich plan
into law, and the one of their methods,
he said, was to blind the people to
their real purpose by making them be-
lieve the trusts are willing to sur
render
