The Florida Everglades drainage inquiry
| found it's way to the floor of the House
| today when Representative Clark of that
state rose to question of personal prtv1-
| lege TO reply to Gov. Gilchrist of Florida,
who arrived last night and expressed his
surprise at the attitude of the repre-
sentative toward the inquiry. The gov
ernor's views were contained in a news
paper article in local paper.
Intimation that the western railroads
were behind the movement to discredit
Everglades reclaimed land aroused Mr..
Clark.
Accepting it as n direct reflection on
himself and his motives, Mr.. Clark, in
forceful language, said he had been
prompted to start the inquiry because OF
the operations of ''conscienceless land
sharks in disappearing such lands.
Classed as Falsehood.
1T remains for the Governor of Florida
God pity the state!' he said-''to travel
all the way from Tallahassee to Wash
ington to insinuate that now ] ann work.
ing in the interests of western railroads.
/ brand that as malicious, gratuitous
and unqualified falsehood."
Mr.. Clark said that Mr.. Gilchrist be-
fore he was elected governor, had made
a business of land exploitation. 1t was
strange. he said, that two senators and
three representatives in Congress were
not able to look after the interests OF
Florida, but that the governor Of the
state was compelled to put 1t right before
the country.
Speaks for Honor of State.
Amid laughter, Mr.. Clark told of the
alleged methods of the land agents in
approaching purchasers and in preparing
and disseminating literature.
ut is this conduct of these con-
scienceless land sharks" he said. that
I'm trying to balk for the honor of
my state. And yet the governor OF
my state says that in attacking the
thieves I am attacking the state Of
Florida. If that Is so, God help Flor
ida!''
Referring to- Mr.. Gilchrist as this
little pinhead governor" Mr.. Clark
said he rested his case with the peo-
pie Of his own district and felt GER

Endorses Labor Unions.

"The arbitration features of the law
are undoubtedly useful, however infre-
quently brought into play" he said.
"sut the scheme Of mediation has been
a distinct success. 1t has been utilized
in numerous cases during the past six
years and in no instance yet has a
strike followed the Intervention of the
mediators."
Labor unions were Endorsed by Judge
Knapp, who saw in them the natural out
growth of business and commercial con-
ditions. Less than eighty years ago, he
said. there was seldom to be found more
than a few score employees under one en-
ployer. He pointed out that today with
concentration Of industry, so that thou
sands and tens of thousands were under
one directing head. the personal element
is missing and the existence of union
Is necessary.
"a labor controversy ordinarily relates
to what is going to happen. 1t looks to
the future. to the wages to be paid, to the
hours of labor to be required. to the con-
ditions Of service which shall thereafter
obtain. Therefore. what this plan OF
mediation contemplates Is that official
assistance which will aid the parties
themselves to compose their difficulties
and reach an amicable understanding.
For this reason 1t has been the con-
ception of those who have acted In this
capacity that their duty is not to deter
mine what settlement they think ought to
be made but to find out what settlement
can be made

SAFE IN OFFICE USED
BY HEN AS A NEST
But Out of Fifteen Snow
White Eggs Only Two
Are HatChed.

Charles NJ. Wrenn, foreman of the
car barn at 18th and II streets northeast,
has reached the conclusion that office
safes do not make the best incubators
for Matching chickens He tried 1t and
1t almost failed.
The hen quietly but firmly established
herself in Mr.. Wrenns office February
10. because it was much warmer than
the icy air outside. Mr.. Wrenn tried to
demonstrate, but the hen was obdurate
There was nothing to do but let the hen
have her own way. and Mr.. Wrenn made
room for her beside a lot Of dusty files
and railway records In his big wooden
safe. The hen was perfectly contented
with its lot and offered no resistance.
s''Cluck, cluck" issued noisily from the
Office early the next morning when Mr..
Wrenn went to work and found the
hen strutting proudly about cackling
vigorously as though she owned the en-
tire office.
II didn't take Mr.. Wrenn long to size
mp the situation, and. opening the door
of the safe. he found in the corner he
had cleared for the bird a batch Of eggs.
Zone, two, three he counted them out.
fifteen in ALL and every one Of them snowy
white. Mr.. Wrenn had never heard of
hsfching eggs in an office safe. and he
didn't know what to do. especially as he
issno farmer. He called a special meet
Ing of his Office employees, and after a
lengthy debate it was decided that as
lo53g as the hen had taken the initiative
the only thing to do was to put up with
her and let her hatch the eggs In the
ONCE safe. 1t was altogether too cold to
force the men out Of doors, and as long
as any one kept his distance the hen did
little to disturb the Office routine.
Hen Bossed omee.
For three weeks the hen practically
bo7sed the Office. and, after deducting, 1t
wss discovered that the eggs ought %
hAte Matched last Saturday, according to
the Office almanac.
Saturday morning Mr.. Wrenn and the
Office force came to work a little ahead
of time, and the door of the safe was
thrown open, while every one expected to
see fifteen chicks run heller SHELTER.
Instead, there was a series Of cackles
from the frightened hen. and not q sin
gle one OF the fifteen eggs had Matched
One of the men, who was something OF
farmer. declared that the eggs would
SURELY hatch the next day, but Sunday
came and they were as unmatched as
feeling of misapprehension. and yesterday
Mr. Wrenn went to the office to see II
the expected had happened.
From out the half-closed door OF the
safe there issued half-hearted ''cluck."
and the silver hen, followed by two
fosiorn-looking chicks, hoped out upon
the floor. Mr.. Wrenn decided to throw
the other thirteen eggs away.
In the yard Of the car barn are num-
Der of chickens. and the hen and her
small brood of two chicks were shown
the open door. and soon made friends
among the rest Of the barnyard kind.

even his denial was met by the rejoinder
that his assurance had been given pri-

This led to my correspondence with
