RAILROAD PROBE
NOT FOR POLITICS
House Democrats Deny Assertion
that Measure Will Be Dropped
This Congress.

That the Democrats Of the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce who on Friday approved the
bill providing for the physical valuation
of railroad property in the United
States and will push the measure in an
effort to get action at this session of
Congress was the statement made yes
terday by members of the committee and
others in the House and Senate.
The assertions OF Republican members
that the measure has been introduced
as a political move was denounced by
Representative Adamson. of Georgia, and
others as absolutely false and without
foundation. 1t is furthermore denied that
the committee defeated an amendment
which would empower the Interstate
Commerce Commission specifically to go
into the question of examining stocks
and bonds of railroad corporations.
In refutation of this the committee
members quote from the bill on page
three in which these words are found:
THE said investigation and report
shall also show the amounts and dates of
all bonds outstanding against each public
service corporation and the amount paid
therefor and the names Of all stockhold-
ers and bondholders with the amount
held, by each"

TAFT WINS TWO
VICTORIES IN Ohio
Congressional and State Central
Committees Indorse President
by Close Votes.

Two victories were scored yesterday
for President Taft in Ohio. BY vote of
fifteen to six the Ohio State central COM
mittee, composed of one member from
each Congressional district in the State.
indorsed the President and his adminis-
tration.
Similar action was taken by the Re-
publican Congressional Committee in
Lucas County, which includes Toledo,
the home of Walter F. Brown, leader of
the anti-Taft forces in the State of
Ohio. There are eight members OF this
committee, seven of whom attended the
meeting yesterday. The vote on the
question of indorsing President Taft was
carried by vote OF four to three.
The opponents of the President, said
his managers last night. have. from the
outset of the campaign for the Repub-
lican nomination, claimed that his own
State of Ohio would be against him in
the national convention at Chicago. Wal
ter T. Brown, chairman of the State CEN
trail committee, and A. l.. Garford, of
Elyria, head of the Roosevelt organiza-
ton in the State, were both in attend
ance ct yesterdays meeting at Columbus.
against the resolutions of Endorsement,
believing that such action might be post
poned at this time. The State commit
tee of Ohio has always reflected the
views Of the Republican voters and the
result indicates that the President will
have at least three-fifths of the Con-
gressional districts and the delegates at
large from Ohio, his supporters claim.

needed at this time. Questioned by SEN
ators Wetmore and Swanson, Col Smiley
admitted that a site on the south side
of the Mall would be Just as adequate
as the land abutting on Pennsylvania
avenue
Mrs. Henry F. Dimock. leader of the
movement for the erection OF a George
Washington memorial hall. told the COM
mittee that the site named IN the Root
bill was the only proper site for such a
building. She protested that the proposed
armory would not be as beautiful as the
hall. which would be erected from plans
submitted to and approved by the Com
mission on Fine Arts OF this city.
The gravity of the committee was up
set when Senator Hepburn asked Mrs.
DiInock IL the woman suffragists and
anti-sunragists would be allowed to meet
in the hall.
IT hope they won't" replied Mr..
Dimock. ''for Washington was a man Of
peace"
Among the substitute sites for the
George Washington Memorial Hall which
were rejected was one in B street. be-

HOUSE DROWSES
DURING DEBATE
Wool Revision Arguments Heard by
Few Tired Members-Long-
worth Poetical.

While the bare score OF members who
remained in their seats yawned sleepiIy
at intervals. the House proceeded yes
terday with its desultory debate on the
wool bill Before taking up the grind
of discussion an agreement was reached
that general debate will end to-mor-
row afternoon, and that the House on
that day will meet at IL instead OF IL
o'clock.
Representatives Longworth. of Ohio.
and Hamilton, of Michigan, aroused
the House from its lethargy for a few
moments by making sarcastic attacks
upon the measure. Representative
Hamilton declared that the country
had been "hypnotized" by the Democrats
bewildered by the sword swallowing
and political juggling" of the Demo-
Gratis that the voters had lost tempo
rary control of themselves. He assert
ed that the Democrats had kept none
of their campaign promises so far as
real results were concerned. Republi-
can members cheered the old d-fashioned
tariff speech of the Michigan standpat-
ter
Representative Longworth quoted poe-
try during his attack on the pending wool
bill Quoting Mr.. Underwood as having
said that sugar was placed on the free
list to prevent a tax on the stomachs
of the American people" Mr.. Longworth
demanded to know on what theory a tax
had been placed on wool BY what right.
he shouted. had a tax been placed ION

the Democrats not remember, asked Mr..
LOngworth, that classic which reads:

You may live without conscience. you may live with
out heart;
You may live without kin, cousins uncles or aunts;
But civilized man cannot live without pants
After dozens OF members have had
oppCNtunity to deliver campaign argu-
ments for distribution in the Record. the
wool bill will pass the House, late Mon
day.
Representative Lobeck, of Nebraska,

STEEL HEARINGS
Stanley Committee Holds Secret
Session to Decide on
Further Inquiry.

A discussion in the Stanley Steel COM
mittee over the question of prolonging
the hearings to call ]. p. Morgan and
other witnesses developed yesterday,
when II was believed that the committee
had practically decided to close its hear
ings. The committee went into executive
session after a brief hearing. and behind
closed doors indulged in a heated dis
cussion as to whether the investigation
is to be prolonged.
Chairman Stanley had practically de-
cided to close the hearings with the tes-
timony of Prof Grasty, of the University
Of Virginia, who was on the stand yes
terday. In executive session. however, 1t
developed that several members of the
committee believed various witnesses
should be called before the hearings are
closed. Practically all the members were
agreed that MoraRns testimony is desir-
able, but several declared il would be
an extended period because OF the fact
that Morgan is now in Europe and not
subject TO the subpoena Of the COM
mittee.
The matter will be taken up at another
session to be held tomorrow. It devel-
oped in the executive sessions held late
yesterday afternoon that the funds OF
the committee are practically exhausted
A resolution now pending in the House,
for which Chairman Stanley claims he
Eas secured the support OF the Demo-
cratic leaders, would give the committee
an additional 5000. Several members Of
the committee fear that this additional
sum will not cover the expenses incident
to further hearing IL witnesses are to be
brought from distant points.

BATES CRITICISES
new HEALTH LAWS
Former Governor Objects to Ex-
tension of Federal Health
Authority.

Opponents Of the extension of the
health activities Of the Federal govern
ment appeared yesterday before the
Committee on Public Health and Ma
tional Quarantine of the Senate. They
were represented by former Gov. John
l.. Bates, of Massachusetts,, general
counsel of the National League for Med
ical Freedom. Gov. Bates made two
points in the discussion OF his opposi-
ton TO the pending measures. They
were: First. because the National League
for Medical Freedom believes such leg
islation is undesirable. Second, because
II believes such legislation unconstitu-
tional
Il venture the assertion said Gov.
Bates, that there is no public demand
for the passage of this legislation. 1t is
sought solely by the doctors and gen.
orally not by them as individuals. but by
their societies I am perfectly willing to
accord sincerity and worthy motives to
the medical profession, for / entertain
the highest respect for 1t. but ! am also
certain that either consciously or un-
consciously more or less selfish interests

flation and for purposes not altogether

FOUR CANDIDATES

ROosevelt's Adherents Con-
cede Taft Only 36 Out Of

WILSONITES CLAIM 46

At the end of weeks campaign the
managers of four Presidential candidates
Taft, Roosevelt, Wilson, and Clark
last night set forth their claims and by
so doing upset the figures accepted dur
ing the past fortnight as being settled
fact. Most remarkable of all statements
was that issued by the Roosevelt bureau.
Deny Taft's Strength.
In a claim made yesterday the coloners
managers conceded only thirty-slx dele
gates to the President. while claiming
sixty-two for Roosevelt. A portion of
the remaining number of the "a dele
gates, which have heretofore been listed
in the Taft column, were put down as
fellows:
Contested. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. liz
Unlnstructed........ 81
In Alabama, where twenty-five dele
gates have been elected, the Taft forces
claim all and the Roosevelt adherents
list as contested all but two, who are
set down as instructed for the former
President This, likewise, holds with
regard to the two delegates instructed
for Taft from the District of Columbia.
In this city the two delegates who were
running presumably on the progressive
ticket were defeated and Immediately
fled notices of contests charging fraud.
Philippines for Clark.
In both New Mexico and Missouri the
claims of the Taft and Roosevelt adher-
ents are irreconcilable. The Roosevelt
faction claims six delegates and make
no allowance for contests. The Taft men,
who ignored the Kansas City primary
at which two Roosevelt delegates were
chosen, held a convention and have con-
tested four delegates claimed by the pro-
gressive forces.
This situation holds in New Mexico
where the Roosevelt men claim six dele
gates and cOncede two, and the Taft
forces claim seven and concede one.
Next strongest in claims was the
statement that came from the Woodrow
Wilson headquarters. where heretofore
ten instructed delegates have been listed
as the New Jersey governors strength.
In the claims made by the Wilson bu-
reau, Maine is claimed for eight dele
gates, Kansas for twenty. and North
Dakota for eight. This brings the esti-
mated total of Wilson to within twenty
OF the total heretofore conceded TO
Clark
The addition to the Clark column came
with the announcement received at its
headquarters that the six Democratic
delegates from the Philippines would be
sent TO the Baltimore convention in
structed for the Speaker. This brings
the total Clark strength to seventy-two.
