Russell Gives Welliver as Authority.

tharles Edward Russell socialist cam
didate for Governor of New York took
The stand. Chairman CIapp read to him a
report OF one of his speeches appearing
In New York paper, describing a tele-
phone interview purporting to be be-
tween j. 2. Morgan and the White House
during the 1904 campaign, in which Mr.
Morgan was asked for a one-hundred-
thousand-dollar contribution to the re-
publican campaign fund.
The incident purported to have occur
red shortly before election. The article
stated that Wayne MacVeagh was call
ing on J. p. Morgan in the latters office
when their conversation was interrupted
by telephone call for Morgan. When
Mr. Morgan returned, the story contin-
ued he said What do you think that
maniac "a Washington wants me to dc? :?
He wants me to give 100000 to his cam
paign fund
Mr. Russell said that the story came
to him in 1910 by a magazine represent
Veagh and who told Mr. Russell that he
rad the story from Mr.. MacVeagh.
Mr. Russell said that his informant
was reputable journalist and asked
that he be not pressed for the name, as
it might injure the magazine repre-
sentative in his employment. After
some debate the committee insisted on
an answer and Mr.. Russell said the
writer was Judson c. Welliver.
Mr.. Russell said that he had never
made the charge that CO.. Roosevelt
had demanded funds of Morgan.
1T might have been Mr.. Cortelyou or
Mr. Bliss who was said to have talked
to Mr.. Morgan on the telephone" said
the witness.

Welliver Gives His Version.

Judson c. Welliver, who was working
as newspaperman at the reporters
table, was called to the stand.
He said Wayne MacVeagh had asked
him in September, 1910, to call on him at
Bryn Mawr. Pa. to talk about Col
Roosevelt" The invitation resulted from
an article on Col. Roosevelt, previously
written by Mr.. Welliver.
The incident related by Mr.. Russell.
he said, came up during the long inter-
view at Bryn Mawr. AS Mr.. Welliver
recalled the conversation. Mr.. MacVeagh
said he had been in MIR. Morgan's private
office one day in October, 1904.
Mr.. Welliver said Mr.. MacVeagh told
him Mr.. Morgan had been called to the
telephone. that the secretary informed
him it was F. H. Hartman who wished
to speak to him When Mr.. Morgan re-
turned, said MacVeagh. he seemed dis
pleased with the telephone conversation,
and said:
What do you suppose that man in the
White House wants? 1t seems that Harri-
man has gone off down there to WASH
ington and dined with him and now he
comes back and says that the President
wants him to raise more campaign funds.
He has given $4,000 and now he wants
me to give $4,000"
Mr.. MacVeagh, according to the wit
ness. told him that Mr.. Morgan wrote a
check for sJO,GOO which he sent to Mr..
Harriman's office.
Mr. Welliver said he could not recall
whether Mr.. MacVeagh used the word
maniac" in quoting Mr.. MorganS ref
erence to President Roosevelt.
You are sure the name of Mr. Harri-
man was given as that of the man who
asked to have the money raised?" asked
Senator Pomerene.
yes; / am sure of that" said Mr.
Weliver.
The committee took a recess at the end
of Mr.. Wellivers testimony until 1:3O

FARM MORTGAGES.

Statistics with reference to mort
gage indebtedness of the farms of the
United States are given i'm a report
soon to be issued by Director Drand
of the bureau of the census, depart
ment of commerce and labor.
The total number of farms i'm the
United States operated by their own
ers, which were mortgaged in 1910,
ported as free from mortgage These
figures show an increase since 1900
of TT per cent in the number of
farms mortgaged; and of "A per cent
of the number of farms free from
mortgage. The report will show that
| SO, 104 farms were operated by man
ayers, decrease of II per cent
since 1900 and 1884 ,676 farms were
operated by tenants, an increase of
| 16.3 per cent since 1900. No statis-
tics pertaining to mortgage indebt-
edness were secured for farms oper-
ated by tenants or hired managers.
1t would be practically impossible
i'm many cases to reach the owners
of such farms to ascertain the facts.
The total value of the land and
buildings of the 1,OO6,511 farms for
which both the fact of mortgage i'm
debtedness and its amounts were re-
ported was $6,33O, 100000, and the
amount of debt was SLIPS, 900, 900, or
27.3 per cent of the value. The cor
responding proportion in 1890 as
shown in the reports was 35.5 per
cent. There was thus during the
twenty years marked diminution in
the relative Importance of mortgage
debt ON the farms mortgaged, due
primarily to the very rapid increase
in the value of the land in farms.
The average amount of mortgage i'm
debtedness per farm increased from
$1224 in 1890 to $1715 in 1910, but
the average value per farm increased
from $3444 to $62S9, and therefore
the owners equity per farm increas-
ed from $2220 to $4574, or more
than double.

ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR FOR

say that caution only is required to
keep IRON squirting too much OF
the fiayoring syrup into the stem at

quantities more readily and dis
tributes It evenly through the heart

recommended for pink teas. For

PROMOTERS OF FARMING.

For generation or more the rail
roads of this country have been max
ing efforts to increase the number of
farmers in certain regions, thus try
ing to promote agriculture and thro-
ugh greater agricultural prosperity,
to increase their revenues derived
from hauling farm products. Within
the past decade these efforts to en-
courage agriculture have been eX-
tended to include instructions in
methods OF farming possibilities of
a region, assistance i'm organizing
agricultural associations, cooperation
with state and county fairs, employ
ment of farm labor, aid in finding
markets, and other helpful lines of
work These projects are not com
fined to railroad companies; they are
however, the most prominent of the
several classes of business concerns
engaged in similar work

TO INVESTIGATE WARREN.

Senator Francis E. Warren OF
Wyoming, chairman of the senate
committee on appropriation, will be
the subject of an investigation by a
committee of the senate when cong
ress convenes next December, and
a determined effort will be made to
oust him from that body on the
ground that he misappropriated the
funds of the senate.
This decision to make Warren
follow in the footsteps of Lorimer
has been reached as result OF a
series of conferences between Pro
gressive Republican and Democra-
tic senators.
Some time ago Golfers Weekly
made a number of serious accusa-
tions against Warren. Included in
these was the charge that Warren
had carried on the senate pay rolls
a number of his relatives and en-
ployes who not only did no work for
the senate, but who were not even
in Washington during the time they
were receiving their monthly checks
from the government. Senator
Warren recently made reply to the
Golfers attack. In this reply he ad-
mitted that his relatives and employ
es were carried on the senate pay
rolls and that they did not work for
the government, but excused him
self on the ground that the salaries
drawn by them were more than bal
anced by sums which he had paid
out of his own pocket for clerical
assistance i'm connection with the gov
ernment work. Senators who have
been waiting for Warren's reply now
declare that his excuse is, in eff
feet a confession that he misap-
propriated the funds of the senate.
These senators assert that the mis-
appropriation of the senate funds
furnish sufficient grounds for War
rens expulsion from the senate.
1t is declared that this movement
to deprive Warren of his senatorial
seat IS entirely nOn4partisan and ii
is more than likely that the resO'
tuition demanding an Investigation and
calling for his expulsion will be in.

Robert c. Morris of counsel for the
complainants said the AmericanNews-
paper Publishers association decided
recently to file a test suit, and the
Journal of Commerce in filing its pc
tition has the sanction and co-epera-
ton of the association.
The petition alleges that the law is
void because it violates the conStitu-
tion of the United States, and partic-
ularly the first and fifth amend
ments and abridges the freedom OF
the press.
The law is characterized as of no
benefit to the postOffice or any other
department of the government, in
asmuch, as obedience by the per-
iodicals and newspapers would not
laid or assist in the operation of the
postoffice departm or in the car
rying of the mails or the regulation
thereof"
The complainants announce that
they will not comply with the law
for the reason given.
With reference to that portion OF
the law which requires that all prin-
ted matter for which there is any
compensation received shall be label
ed advertisement, the petition
says:
Cali such matters are matters OF
business arrangement or of favor or
otherwise between your compliments
and their advertisers, and such
provision of the act is not necessary
or proper to assist the government or
any department or official thereof to
carry out or perform any power or
duty intrusted or granted to the
United States by the several states
under the constitution or other
wise"
1t is charged also that the law, if
enforced, would result in the conf
scation of the complainants property
without due process of law.
'It is not Within the power of con-
gress,'' the complainants continue,
"to enact said act; and it is an us
urpation by congress of powers eX-
pressly reserved to the several states
and is legislation affecting matters
with which the several states of the
United States alone have the right
| to treat

The flighty-minded youths who
have been the biggest asset in the
business of army recruiting officers,
may be a little more serious in re-
gard to cutting family and home ties
and rushing into the army, since the
new law provides that enlistment
shall be for seven years instead of
three as heretofore. The first four
years the enlisted men must spend
in active service, while for three
years more he is to hold himself sub
ject to military duty at call and for
the latter there is no pay. Army
officers opposed the new law when
it was before congress.
