WORCESTERLACK|NG
DECLARES RALSTON
"Open Letter Noticeable for
What He Doesn't Deny"
: Attorney Says.

The open letter of Mr.. Worcester is
more noticeable for what it does not
deny than for what ii disputes"
This Is the concluding statement of
an open letter issued today by jackson
II. Ralston, the Washington attorney.
In reply to the open letter of Dean c.
Worcester, secretary of interior for tie
philippines, attacking Mr.. Ralston ard
irving WinSlOW, secretary of the Anti
Imperalist League. for which Mr.. Raj
ston appeared before the House Con-
mittee on Insular Affairs in its inves-
llgauon of Philippine land transactions
last winter
Mr.. Worcester's Term.
Mr.. Worcester, in his letter, charged
Mr.. Ralston with having personally
testified" with relation to facts not in
the record, and that he had made false
representations as to facts in evidence.
The Philippine official used such ex-
pressions as ''wilIful false statement"
false testimony" liar" deliberate
lie." moral obliquity." and obviously
false in his attack on Mr.. Ralston and
Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Ralston denies emphatically that
in the brief which he submitted to the
committee he introduced any testimony
not adduceO. AT the hearings or that he |
made false representations as 10 facts
In evidence. He quotes extensively from
his brief, from Mr.. WorCester's letter |
and from the record of the committee |
hearings to substantiate his statement,
and again condemns the l.embers of the |
Philippine Commission for alleged vfo- |
lation Of law IL disposing of public and |
friar lands in large tracts to aliens. and |
in buying land for themselves.
Ignoring of Transactions.
Attention is called sharply TO the fact
that Mr.. Worcester ignored the transac-
tions by which officers and employees of
the Philippine government purchased
land at the summer capital at Baguio:
the leasing of large tracts to American
sugar interests, and the leasing of large
tracts to certain employees of the COM
mission. After describing the transac-
ions ignored by Mr.. Worcester. Mr..
SO long as those statements remain
InchallenSed-and they are indisputablc
secretary Worcester has cause to be
thankful that he has escaped, as long
as he has, removal from office"

WEEK IN
REAL ESTATE

The principal development of the
week in real estate circles was the an
nouneement of the formation of new
real estate company to be known as
the j. S. Blackburn Co.
This company is expected to secure
pretentious quarters the ground
floor in the business section of the city.
1t will engage in all departments of
the real estate business.
A number of sales have been reported
during the week. The purchase of the
residence of A. w Warren, or Highland
street, by DR.. Luke Kelly was one of
the more important sales of the week.
There is a better tone to the market
now than there has been for some time.
The confidence of the people in the
immediate future of business has been
restored This applies especially to To-
cal conditions.
The feeling seems to be that next
/ spring will be one of the most active
that the region has ever known. The
proximity of a presidential election
does not seem to have unsettled condi-
! tions.
! The architects and contractors look
/. forward 10 the greatest year in the
I history of the region so far as build
ling operations are concerned. and this
means that the building trades are te
be fully employed.

Hammond Distillery Makes
a Record Breaking Whisky
Shipment and Pays Big
Sum to United States Rev
enue Collector Hammond.

y record breaking shipment of
whisky was made from the Hammond
distinery today and as a result John
E. Fitzgerald paid over s40.742 to
Frank Hammond, United States rev.
enue collector in Hammond. For each
gallon of whisky the manufacturer
must pay into the United States treas
ury sf.1o.
When it is remembered that the
Hammond distilIery pays over every
day from SIS. 600 to s25.00O, an estimate
can be made of the amount of ready
money needed to carry on the distilling q
business. also what resourcefulness Mr..
Fitzgerald must have had in the late
panic to produce the hard, cold cash
day after day. when other businesses
were carried on credit. and script paper
took the place of currency. The Unit
ed States treasury insisted on being
paid in its own coin.
If the United States were to spend
money as freely in this district in as
large proportions it receives it, the
whole county could have every public
Improvement which the United States
makes in way of federal buildings, ca :
mails. harbors, widening and deepening G
of waterways, and throw in a warship
now and then for good measure.
Three revenue days like today would
pay the cost of building the splendid
Hammond federal building.
