W|CKERSHAM GOES
TO PROVE CHARGES
THAT HAVE COME UP
Alaskan Delegate Appears
Before Committee to Back
Up Allegations.

Marked by an opening tilt between
the Attorney General and Delegate
Wickersham of Alaska, the House Com
mittee on Judiciary resumed its inquiry
today in the Wickersham- Wickersham
feud growing out of charges made by
the Alaskan Delegate that the Depart
ment of Justice purposery allowed the
statute of limitations to run in favor
of Alaska syndicate agents who de-
frauded the Government in coal con-
tracts.
Delegate Wickersham told the COM
mittee that he had come prepared to
prove his charges. Il have no apollo
gies to make to anyone" he said, 'and
l have nothing to retract.
The evidence l shall produce here
has been in the hands of the Attorney
General for a year and he has not
acted"
That's not true" interrupted the At
torney General Some of this corre-
spondence was within a year"
well, the most Of 1t is more than a
year DID," said Delegate Wickersham.
Mr.. Wickersham called attention to
the discrepancy in the Attorney Gen.
erals opinion as to the statute CT limi-
tations. In his letter TO the Delegate
in June, the Attorney General said that
the statute of limitations probably
had run against Jarvis and Bullock, the
agents alleged to have defrauded the
Government by fake bids on coal fer

elevator operators, who profited by
the barley business of Minnesota and
Wisconsin. but he assured him they
Mr.. Wilson permitted no delay in the
retirement of one batter and the ap-
pearance of the other. AS soon as all
the farmers had been heard, he an
nounced that the brewers could have
their inning. Robert Grain, of Balti-
more, general counsel for the United
States Brewers Associa ton, claiming
to represent 20 per cent of tie brewery
interests in the country. spoke first on
Dehan Of the people who will feel the
effects Of any legislation taken by the
board Of food and drug inspection.
Mr.. Grain was followed oy Lois B.
Schram, who presented a long state
ment answring all the questions pro-
pounded by the students Of What Is
beer?"
Lessons In Beemaking.
The statement assures the investi-
gators that American beer is carbon
ated, that artificial coIoring is applied,
that water often is chemically treated,
and that rice and corn as well as barley
often is used in the manufacture of
beer. Incidentally, the brewers gave
their in9utrers lesson in word analy-
sis, explaining the derivation of the
word lager from the German verb
lagerhalten.'
food advocates were carried into Bo-
hemia and through the prehistoric days
to learn the derivation of the word
Pilsner. Two Bohemian dealers were
at variance as to which Bohemian town
was first called Pilsner.
In explaining what is used to color
beer. the statement of the United States
Brewers Association named roasted
malt, roasted corn, carameliZed sugar,
and extracts from these materials.
They are necessary for the produc-
ton of certain brands Of dark beer,
porter, and stout" says the statement
But when the charge was made by
J. r. Mauff, appearing for the National
Consumers League, that injurious pre-
servatives are used, this statement was
The use of bicarbonate of soda has
been discarded" was the answer to
one Of the statements.
One bit Of evidence introduced was
a statement from supposed authority
that some Of the beer as now made
comes no nearer being beer than chalk
and water does to being milk.
The United States Brewers Associa-
ton contends that the beer put out to-
day Is a wholesome product and that
the fact that its consumption Is increas-
ing at the rate OF per cent a year
proves its standing with the American
people. 1t was pointed out that last
year the brewers paid to the United
State Government s63.OO0OO. They re-
gard the present move as an attempt
to make them pay farmers an exorbi-
tant price for a limited crop Of barley.
Shortly before adjournment at noon,
Secretary Wilson turned his gavel
over to Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, and
when the session opened this after
noon Mr.. Mauff was given the floor
for what he said would be a general
on the question of beer.
The speech will consume two or three
hours and will be the attack of the
National Consumers Association on
the product.

STANLEY PROBERS
WILL SHOW TRUST
DOMINATES ROADS
Steel Investigators to Take
Up New Lead in
Inquiry.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Having made
up Its mind through the testimony Of
Lewis Cass Ledyard that the gobbling
OF the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany by the Steel trust was a forced
sale, and not a benevolent assimilation,
as the trust has argued, the Stanley
Congressional investigating committee
today changed some of its plans.
A subcommittee today decided that
when the taking of testimany is re-
sumed tomdrrow the first witness will
be C. P. Perrin. AS an expert engineer
he examined the properties of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron before the
Moore & Schley syndicate bought an in
terest, and reported that the company
controlled between one and two billion
tons Of coal and between four and five
millions tons Of iron ore.
Because Of this report the committee
will try to prove that the Steel trust
determined TO get possession Of the T. C.
x l.. and eventually did so. following
the now famous market raid of 1907.
The committee also plans to show that
the Steel trust. while it does not actual
Iy own or control all Of the ore lands IN
the Superior field. does monopolize the
two railroad systems which tap that
region. These roads made between 3O
and go per cent a year profit. according
to the committees information.
There are clauses ir the leases and
deeds of all ore lands In this district,
it Is claimed, which compel shipments
of one to be made only over certain
tain lines. To get at the facts in con-
nection with these allegations, and OF
the allegation that the trust controls
the transportation facilities between the
lakes and Pittsburg. many railroad or
ficials will be called this week.

Camp of Supposed Kidnapers in Woods.

That was the story Blair afterward
told about it,"
And YOU wanted to.know whether he
told the TRUTH
Phillips went to State Senator Olson
to learn whether Olson knew anything
about Representative Stearns. He had
heard that Olson knew some stories
about Stearns: two or three people had
said that Stearns had a lot of money
after the legislature ended. and settled
up some matters" Olson told him some
hearsay stories about Stearns being in
funds after the session closed. but had
no personal knowledge Of the matter.
Shurtleff's Deposits.
AT Marengo ! talked to a banker, and
also to the mayor. about a deposit by
Speaker Shurtleff in the bank there,
after the legislature ended. I don't rec
ollect what l heard about it l know
one Of the men made some vague in
situations about Shurtleff."
Don't YOU know that the man who
told YOU that story was a rival Of
shurtleff In the lumber business?"
NO. l did not"
Wasn't that deposit $1,000. instead Of
Witness didn't believe it was. but said
he was unable to get mere than hear
say. He believed the Tribune did after
ward investigate that story and publish
dbONN ~ WIN
Of the bankers.
Didn't you learn also that that de-
post was q matter dating back three
years earlier. so that 1t couldn't have
had anything TO do with the Lorimer
election?"
That's correct
At Rockford Phillips saw Represent
ative Thomas +. Burns. no said he
didn't know anything about Stearns.
Also saw Mayor Olson. Of Moline. 1t
was the same day Representative Wha-
len. of Rock Island, was before the
grand jury. Olson said something about
their making 1t hot for Whalen."
Here Judge Hanecy asked a compli-
Gated. question which included a state
ment of the fact that Whalen collapsed
in the grand jury room under examina-
ton. The attorneys for the defense pro-
tested against this question as another
case of filling the record with matters
not properly introduced.
Representative De Wolf. at Canton,
was asked by Phillips whether lie got
paid for voting for Lorimer.
Did he tell you he did not get
money!"
NO. he did not He said he wouldn't
talk about it."
Al Peoria he saw Senator Daily. but
not the representative from Peoria. Daily
was chairman of the Hopkins commit
tee. Phillips couldn't get at the repre-
scntatives; he called them by phone,
but they were not at home.
