Majority Report Adopted.

At meeting of the Graham commit
tee this morning the majority report
was adopted, after Representative
Burke of South Dakota senior repub-
lican member of the committee, had
attempted without success to have the
hearings continued until Miss Abbott,
who claims to have seen the Dick to
Dick letter, and others, could be ex-
amined concerning the authenticity Of
that mysterious document
Mr. Burke offered a resolution with
this end in view, but it was rejected
by strict party vote. He told the
committee that he and his republican
colleagues wanted a chance to show
that there never had been any "Dick to
Dick" letter on the Interior Depart
ment files; that the story of it's ex-
istence was a pure fabrication, and that
the perpetrator of the fake had imposed
on the credulity of Miss Abbott, whom
the committee declined to call
IF no such letter existed" says the
Burke resolution, "or no such letter was
ever written, the use of il was an in
famous attack upon the honesty of the
President of the United States and was
vicious assault upon the honor of his
high office, demanding a thorough investi-
cation for the purpose of aScertaining all
the facts and circumstances pertaining

and libel and identifying the persons
thereof.

'Dick-to-Dick' letter and who gave it
publication, and all other persons likely
to possess any knowledge information
concerning it: and that she and they be
required to testify under OATH
The democratic members of the COM
mittee are Representatives Graham of
Illinois, George of New York. Hensley of
Missouri and Galloway of Texas They
all voted against the Burke resolution.
Mr.. Burke was allowed to cast the vote
of his two republican colleagues on the
committee. Representatives Hanna of
North Dakota and Mondell of Wyoming,
in favor of his proposition.
Upon the converting of the House at
noon today Mr.. Burke secured an ex-
tension of five days in which to prepare
the report of the minority. which will
be largely reiteration of the reflections
on the fairness of the committee contain
ed in the Burke resolution voted down
by the committee today.

The Day Of Reckoning.

The House of Governors" ap-
pointed a committee of three of its
members to argue against the San
born interstate rate decision when
the case reaches the Supreme Court.
The committee was appointed be-
cause the governors feared the rights
of the states were in danger of being
violated by the highest court of the
land. Each member of the supreme
court, when he takes his oath, sol
EMMY promises to protect the rights
of the states as we'll as those of the
nation. Why, then, should the gov
errors be apprehensive? Why should
they consider it necessary to tell the
highest court what its duty is?
The very fact that governors rec
ognzed the necessity for such action
indicates that it isn't only "agitators
and "demagogues' who have become
suspicious of the Supreme court, and
OF the whole judiciary system.

BRYAN Thinks Trust Law Emasculat-
ed-Cails For Conviction Under
the Penal Provision of Law

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 26.-An-
swering the challenge of President
Taft that he produce an example of
restraint of trade which would not
come within the purview of the SUI
preme court Interpretation of the
Sherman law, William J. Bryan said
last night:
"If President Taft would take time
to read the dissenting opinion of JUS
tice Harlan in the oil case and re-
pert of the judiciary committee of
the senate, filed by Senator Nelson,
when the committee refused to rec
ommend the amendment which the
supreme court injected into the law,
he will understand my view of the sub
ject.
Il believe with Justice Harlan and
the Nelson report that the supreme
court has practically nullified the
criminal clause of the antitrust act
and will wait until the President
succeeds in putting a trust magnate
in prison before | give any weight
to the Presidents defense of the de-
cision of the supreme court.
ut took four years and a half to
get the decision in the Standard Oil
case. If it takes that long to find out
whether a trust magnate can be sent
to the penitentiary under the law as
emasculated by the supreme court,
President Taft may be able to bluff
his way through another campaign on
the trust question as he did through
the last, but the bluff ought not to
deceive anybody who is really Oppos-
ed to the trusts

marches in a line to the guessing side,
