Washington Correspondence.
BY CLYDE H. TAyENNER.

WASHINGTON, December 1S.-
BY what possibility could the
United States become involved in
trouble with foreign nations by
participating in the celebration Of
the discovery Of Lake Champlainp
Or by sending delegates to the
International Congress on Col
lisions and Salvage? Or by hay-
ing q representative at the meet
ing of the International Seismo-
logical association, which has to
do with earthquakes?
Congressman Courtney W.
Hamlin, Of Missouri, has asked
the Republicans Of the House for
an answer to these queries. He
has a reason.
President Taft and Secretary Of
State Knox spent large sums Of
money for above mentioned pur-
poses, and when Mr.. Hamlin, as
chairman Of the committee on ex-
penditures in the State Depart.

bration of the discovery of Lake
Champlain was spent for the pur-
pose appropriated or not, but !
suspect that in all human proba-
bility this $4,000 was spent pay
ing railroad fare, hotel bills, auto
mobile hire, banquetings, wine,
etc.
"To permit any man, even
though he be the president of the
United States, to spend an aver
age Of S339,45 of the peoples
money each and every day of the
year, without compelling him to
account to anybody as to how, land
for what purpose he expended this
money, does not accord with my
idea of properly guarding the
treasury"
WALL STREET NOT IN CONTROL.
The Stanley steel investigating
committee will continue its probe
of the steel trust. The efforts OF
Wall street to bring the investi-
cation to a halt have failed.
1t being obvious that the Hous
will not heed the command OF
special privilege to stop the in
quiry, it is doubtful now whether
the proposition of forcing the in
vestigating committee to abandon
it's inquiry will even come up on
the floor of the House. But if the
attempt is made, it is certain that
the House will stand by the COM
mittee and order it to proceed
with the hearings. Ill.,
This marks a new order OF
things. In the past the steel trust
has been able to have bills side
tracked, delayed, and finally
chloroformed in committees of the
House. All this is to-day impos
sible.

to obtain justice at the hands of
their corporate servants.
Mr.. Taft says that the federal
charters proposed by him "should
be voluntary at least until expert
ence justifies mandatory pro-
vision" But under his plan the
corporation could select the feder-
al government as its watchman
and it is safe to say that it would
take advantage OF the opportunity
with the same readiness it has
ever shown preference for feder-
al courts.
Mr.. Taft has placed the cart be-
fore the horse on this proposition.
He has given choice to the wrong
party. Under our system of gov
ernment the state must be the
creator of corporations and when
ever the time comes that that
method should be changed then
the people should make the choice
and the people alone are entitled
to say whether in their capacity
as the members of the state they
are willing to surrender this con-
troll over their corporate creatures.
The federal government may
we'll prohibit a corporation that
has been convicted of lawless con-
duct from doing an inter- state
business, thus shutting it up in
the state of it's origin. That is the
plan suggested by Mr.. Bryan but
the suggestion that the federal
government be empowered to is
sue corporation charters is CEN
tralization gone mad,-The Com
n,oner.

| by it presented itself in 1908, when
Louis Holman of Boston went to Eng
land for several months of work, in
volving antiquarian and other re-
search.
Mr.. Holman learned of two sons of
the Rev. John Harvard of Plymouth,
the Rev. John c. Harvard of Sheffield
and ]. Mawson Harvard of London.
At the home of the latter he found
two sons, Lionel and Kenneth. four
teen years old. An older son, John,
had died. On the occasion of that visit
nothing was said regarding the future
attendance of one of the sons at Har-
ward university, but Mr.. Holman men
toned the subject of their further edu-
toned in the correspondence which en-
sued after his return TO Boston.
]. Mawson Harvard wrote that finan-
cial obstacles in the way had compelled
Lionel, to his great disappointment, to
give up his ambition to attend En-
manuel college at old Cambridge,
which John Harvard attended. and
that the young man had entered the
office of a firm of marine insurance
brokers in London.
His Tuition Free.
A little inquiry of those in authority
at Harvard and among a few Harvard
alumni resulted in the prompt and cor
dial assurance that a few interested
graduates would provide fund ample
to care for the tuition and expenses
of the young man during his four
years course.
Lionel took the examinations in June,
1910. He had been out of school and
at work for year, however, and this
fact, together with the wide difference
in the courses pursued in the English
and American secondary schools. pre-
vented him from doing himself justice,
and he failed to secure the necessary
number of points. Nothing daunted,
he went back to school for year, and,
profiting from his 1910 experience with
the examination papers, he tried again
last June and was successful.
This year Harvard university itself
gave no examination in London, as
there were no other candidates for adj
but the young man passed the
examinations Of the college entrance
examination board, and this was &C
cepted by Harvard

ward, a second cousin to John. More
over, Lionel Harvard prepared at st.
Olafs and st. Xavier's, at Southwark,
where John Harvard prepared for
Emmanuel college. The young man
intended to enter the same college as
his famous ancestor, but lack Of
finances made him abandon the project
and enter employment for a time.
How He Was Discovered.
Lionel Harvard is eighteen years old,
five feet eleven inches in height and
weighs 143 pounds. Americas discOv-
cry of him came in this way:
In 1S47, almost half a century be-
fore Lionel Harvard was born, Ed
ward Everett, then president of Har-
vard wrote a letter to George Ban
croft, who was at his post as minis
ter to Great Britain, a post which Mr..
Everett himself had previously filled.
In that letter Mr.. Everett asked Mr..
Bancroft to deliver some books, in
Guiding a set of Quincys History of
Harvard College," to the Rev. John
Harvard of Plymouth. England. whom
Mr. Everett spoke of as "a Wesleyan
clergyman whose ancestor at the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century
was a brother of our. founder" The
commission was faithfully executed.
Lionel is a grandson of the Rev.
John Harvard Of the original Plym-
outh, to whom the books were sent,
and his family still has them in its
possession.
