MRS. BELMONT DOES
HER OWN MARKETING

Newport, R. L, August 19.-Mrs. o. H.
p. Belmont is doing her own marketing
this summer as a protest against a sys-
tenn of petit graft which she says has
become almost universal in the house
holds of the wealthy summer colonists
here.
This system of graft by which the ser
wants profit at the expense of their EN-
rloyers is wrong Mrs. Belmont says
I'VE pay our servants good wages, for
which they are expected to do a certain
service 1t is certainly unfair for them
TO expect to make large sum of money
on commissions that are bound to come
ont of the pockets of their employers"

WILSON
Minority Report Says unstable
Majority Conclusions Were Charge
Against Mental Capacity and
Honesty of the Members

Washington. August 19.-The investiga
ton of the department of agriculture
connection with the Florida everglades
drainage project ended today when the
House of Representatives committee or
expenditures in the department of agri-
culture submitted to the House its find
ings In majority and minority reports OF
its members.
The conduct of Assistant Secretary
Hays of the agriculture department,
whose relations with former Drainage En-
gineer J. O. Wright were the subject OF
especial attention by the committee, was
declared in a majority report presented
by Chairman Moss, democrat, to have
been not in harmony with proper stand
ards of official propriety if not official rec
titude.'
The minority report, made by Represen-
tative Sloan of Nebraska, republican, as
serted on the other hand that the "un-
stable"~ majority conclusions were more
of charge against the mental capacity
and honesty of the committee members
than against Assistant Secretary Hays.
The Committee Conclusions
The department majority report
called the department vascillating and
lacking conception of the vast invest
ment of millions of dollars in under
taking the reclamation of the Ever
glades Said it constantly subordi-
mated the inquiry to other work IN
which members of Congress were par
ticularly interested and finally aban-
doned it after an expenditure of $ll. 107
Wi of nc
Ing system deficient and its discipline
lacking. The minority upheld the de-
partment
Secretary Wilson-Falsely credited
with authorship of the circular letter
to which real estate promoters first
objected because of it's cautionary ma
ture. Promptly suppressed 1t and re-
fused publication OF revised bulletin
excerpts as a report on the Everglades.
Minority reported that he did not abuse
his legal discretion.
Hays Is Arraigned
Assistant Secretary Hays-Arraigned
by majority. Minority called the criti-
cism of Hays unfair and unwarranted;
that his interest in the possible sale
of North Carolina lake bed TO Leigh
Hunt and others was due 10 his we'll
known public interest in the develop
ment of community country life.
Drainage Engineer Wright-Majority
said he accepted fees and commissions
wherever offered" Minority reported
no evidence was established that any
financial statement indicating great gains
from the Mattamuskeet. N c., project
were exhibited by Wright to Hays. FL
nancia statement reaching committee
was faulty and ridiculous and would
have discredited the scheme at once

Assistant Drainage Engineer Moore
house-Majority report stated that they
admitted making an arrangement which
the majority regarded as In violation of
the law and of sound public policy, but
that there was no profit intended in 1t
and the department had disciplined them
too severely. The minority agreed as to

TAFT ON LAWS DELAY.

He urges the young lawyers to bring constant pressure to bear on the legislature to cut short judicial procedure and expedite justice. and he points out the results that have fol- lowed on the neglect to press these reforms when he says
 If you will examine the statistics you will blush as Americans that we have not shown ourselves more adap- table to the issue which has arisen here with respect to whether crime shall be punished and have not made purpose.
 The tendency or legislation ought 10 be toward giving the judges more power and then making the judges responsible.

 In fine, 1T the lawyers will not take hold of the situation and do their duty as Mir Taft tells them they should. the people will find a remedy that may prove worse than the disease. The prevailing and justifiable discontent with methods of judicial procedure will compel the people to seize the first weapon that lies near at hand This is the inspiration of the recall movement as it affects the judiciary which. impelled by popular resentment over the laws delay and halrsplitting seeks to cure the malady by the rough and ready remedy of the patient to death.

AFTERmATH OF AkSAGA.

Now that he receipts of the Ak sala carnival and expenditures have been computed and m, public notified of the result We can cougratulaic the people of Nome for their most excel lent showing. and liberal donations to our worthy institution
 There Is no ely ot equal size in the Cnited States peopled with such great hearted citizens. who will go to such lengths in providing funds for charity as right here in Nome. We say this because the actions of the people whc have gone to make up our population for the past ten years at least have proven such to be the real stale of affairs and not an exception. as per haps one Aksala carnival would prove. The second affair proved even greater than the first. and that brings us face 10 face with a phase of the annual event that has been called to our at tention by the executive committee of the second annual Aksala carnival
 The magnificent sum realized this year was indeed surprise 10 all Nomeites who can well afford to feel proud of the record made. in its dona- ton to this worthy institution, of nearly three thousand dollars Last year 1t was the wish Of the committee to try and raise two thousand dol lars. and the committee having the same in charge this season figured on clearing one thousand dollars for the Holy Cross Hospital
 The Nugget believes the lnstitution Tor which the Aksala carnival was created. is worthy of all the outside support it can receive. 1t is d blessing 10 the community and could never be maintained were il not for the sis- tes in charge donating their lifc's work to the cause. receiving no com pensatlon whatsoever for their labor lous task. But we further believe there should be limit placed upon the sum 70 be raised annually 10 help support the Holy Cross Hospital. and should the Aksala carnival produce any money in excess of said amount the same should be placed In what will be termed a charitable fund. to be expended 10 relieve the destitute and poor within our gates. whose condi- lions are such that help cannot be granted in sending them 10 the hospl- tai
