found that some Of the money you
TAINTED You, of course, have not
forgot that your attention was pub
J aicly called to conditions existing else
where than at Gteeplechase,, and that
latter one or two alleged executive
sessions you permitted things to con-
you do this for fear that an investi-
cation would compromise some who
are included among those that help
defray your compensation? It is for
you gentlemen to answer.

Brandeis On Trust
Regulations And

Especial from United Press

Washington. Sept. 2S.-Alaska's
future and trust regulation were dis
cussed, To-Day, in an interview by
Special Counsel Louis D. Brandeis, for
the House Committee investigating
Alaskan affairs.
THE time has arrived" said Bran
deis, when the government must de-
eide upon an Alaskan policy. If we
are to avoid bribery and widespread
corruption there, we must make up
our minds to hold Alaska for the
people. The government should make
development possible through Ieas-
ing system. The man who goes into
Alaska with an honest desire to de-
velop his claim should be given rs
year lease.
"As to the trusts, / have no quarrel
with the Supreme courts decision in
the Standard Oil and American To-
bacco cases. do believe, however,
that additional legislation is neces-
sary. The government should be COM
PEELED to prove that restraint of trade

restraint of trade.

Says Dissatisfied Oystermen
Have Legal Recourse

Shell Fish Commissioner George G.
waldo declared today that he Is not
spending any time worrying over tne
attack made upon him in particular
and the Shell Fish Commission IN
general by a number of oystermen
who held an indignation meeting IN
this city last night.
ssThe records Of the Shell. Fish COM
mission are part of the public records

the laws governing the oyster pusi-
mess, nor in interpreting them, put

the LEGISLATURE as Interpreted by the
rulings of the courts.
The Shell Fish Commission has no
nower to give away any public land
set aside as natural oyster beds.

ivoid. and the members of the COM
mission would be subject to a severe
l6ne and jail sentence for attempting
no grant them, according to the Gen-
{erai Statutes of the State of Connec-
kicut.
Mr.. waldo says that during his long
membership on the State Shell FISH
Eommission he has been the recipient
-tof innumerable kicks and Complains
and the strange part of 1t is that the
big growers, the so called Oyster
Trust are as frequent compfa inants
as the natural growthers. but these
pomplaints have never before taken
}thet form of public abuse as In the
present case The policy of the com
mission in such cases is to let the
kcomplainants take the legal procedure

Madero Now Sure
Of Election To
The Presidency
Especial from United Press.)


Mexico City, Sept. 2S-Conhdent and
with a clear field, Francisco /. Madero
goes to his election. on Sunday. Ber-
nardino Reyes has practically surren-
dered, apparently realizing the begin
ming of the end of his political am
billions. He has gone to Cuba. Gomez
the only other contender for the Pres.
idency, expects his own defeat and
calmly predicts it.
1t is over the vice-presidency that
excitement prevails. Pine Saurez
Madero's candidate, is unpopular
with the masses, being Kissed anf
booed whenever he appeared to speak
Vasquez Gomez, Madero's friend dur
ing the revolution. but Madero's en-
envy in the quiet times of peace, witt
a large and powerful following. is ex-
pected to poll the necessary vote.
If Madero and Gomez are elected
there is considerable doubt as to their
ability to get along. It is feared thar
they would be deadlockedk continually
on almost every point raised.
