Fletcher on His Feet

Congressman Clark brought Senator Fletcher to his feet when he asked Wright about a conference between the senator, Wright and exGovernor Jen- nings, at which the report as revised by Elliott was restored to it's original form.
 There has been an effort said Sen ator Fletcher, ito create an impression that there was some special interest to be served by the substitution of that document by the Senate.
 There is no foundation for such an imputation"
 T do not see any imputation," said Mr Clark and I see no excuse for the senator making a speech at this period. There can be no objection to the sena- tor testifying, but the record ought 10 be held down 10 facts"
 Representative Higgins suggested there had been intimations that Mir. Jennings was in partnership with the land promoters.

LEADER EXPLAINS THE CHEMICAL BILL MT. Underwood Replies to Gregg of Pennsylvania THE FIGHTING IS TAME Representative Harrison and MT. Underwood Meet All Opposition
 With Undisputable Facts.
 Republicans Are Helpless
THE FIGHTING IS TAME
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, February 20.-(Special)- During the debate on the chemical schedule of the tariff today MT. Gregg of Pennsylvania, new democratic mem Der, took occasion to declare that Ahe could not follow the majority of sshis partx n sieg sina ssx < Jh ps sfr 7t A ot sr sp E. He declared that taSse wei necessities of life and that an increase in the tariff would force an increase in the retail price at every store in the country and would thereby affect the liv- ing cost of the people.
 Mir Underwood made a five minute speech in reply in which he outlined the policy of the party as being to raise money for revenue only and not for the advantage of any manufacturer or other interest in the country.
 Underwood Outlines Policy
 Mir Underwood contended that in the bill under consideration the taxes on the luxuries have been made to bear the heaviest burden, while the bare necessl- ties of life and especially those things that are purchased by poor people have been relieved of all of the tax that is consistent with the declared policy of the party He explained that while med ieines had been reduced the raw ma terials for the manufacture of those med icines had been taken from the free list or the tax increased. MT. Underwood explained thct this had been done so as to force the manufacturers to pay their share of the taxes while the peo- pie who must have medicines are given them at reduced prices.
 Republicans Listless There was a marked absence of spirit among the republicans during the debate on the chemical schedule of the tariff on the floor of the House today Represen- ta tive Harrison of New York, who was in direct charge of the bill, and Chair man Underwood were in fine form and ere able to meet all assaults with facts and figures that were both convincing and effective.
 The disposition to fight that was shown by the republicans during the passage of the iron and steel bill is noticeably lack ing in the discussion of the present bill. There remains the disposition to fight the democratic programme for political rec ord. but all arguments are met in such A way by the democartic leaders that the dc sired effect is lost.
 Republicans Helpless
 The republicans are really at a Joss to know where to turn. They are not only helpless, but they admit it in their de- meanor. The basis of the republican ar gument is that the democrats do not de- sire the final enactment of their tariff bills into laws and charge openly that If they believed such would be the result they would not be so active. They imply the threat that if the bills pass both houses of Congress they will be vetoed by the President.
 At the conclusion of the reading of the chemical bill tonight at ! o'clock under the five minutes rule MT. Underwood de manded the previous question and the vote will be taken on the final passage of the bill tomorrow. It VIII pass and go i,,.r,,olia inIu tn the Sannte

WRIGHT TELLS WHY

Did Not Report Alleged Financial Irregularities When He First

Washington, February 20.-seeretary Wilson today denied authorship of let ter which has been widely circulated by one of the companies exploiting lands in the Florida everglades.
 The advertisement headed Secretary Wilson's opinion" was credited to the East Coast Homeseeker of June, the year being omitted. The letter follows:
 There Is no other large body of land anywhere in the United States, in fact anywhere else in the world, that will. when the drainage Is completed, be SD valuable as the once despised ever- glades.
 "Between 3.OOO,O00 and 100000 acres of alluyial land located in a land that Is perfection, where all crops can he grown the entire season, where there are no long winters, excessive heat, and no malaria or other diseases vlsl- ble.

Florida becomes the paradise of the world. There d careful, thrifty uller of the soil can make more money on 10 or 20 acres of land than on loo Ill the north or west. The doubling Thomases who are standing back awaiting developments win in a few years see their folly
 No Recollection of It
 T have no recollection of ever writ ing anything of this nature said Sec- retary Wilson. This sort of thing happens often, and I will have to stop it as 1 have been forced to do many times before. It Is not uncommon to find my name ana that of Dr Wiley without authority in advertisements. Dr Wileys perhaps oftener than mine. because he is more prominent
 Inquiry into the department of agri- cultures connection with the ever glades was resumed by the House conl+ mittee. ]. 0. Wright. now chief draln- age engineer of fior1da, admitted that he knew in 1909 of the alleged finanetal j lykhh C filtytf and \ r M9gens, aAienly were as, not make tho charge until month ago. WrigAt said he folJ the [. Is to the agricultural department after .tvwspa- per articles had appeared fin Which ti- liott criticised him for part of the der lay in publishing the everglades le- port
 Did you not think fl your duty to report those irregularities when you learned of them in 1909?" asked Henry F. Davis, attorney for Elliott and Morehouse.
 T was in the government service then and did not want to make charges against d superior officer,' said Alr. Wright
 Result of Criticism
 But when these alleged quotations of Mir, Elliott appeared you made your charges to the department Of agreul- ture as matter of retaliation|'
 No not retaliation, but self preserva- tion,"
 Attorney Davis sought to develop what connection Senator Fletcher of Florida had with the preparation of Senate document s9, supposed to con tain all of the official reports on the everglades. Wright admitted the de- partments report, as 1t appeared in the Senate document, was not the report as finally prepared by Chief Engineer Ei- liott and printed by the government,
 Senator Fletcher he said, turned the galley proof of the report over to him. Wright made the original report to the department which Elliott revised. lie testified that he wrote portions of the report to restore 1t as nearly 10 the original as he could remember, and th1t II was in this shape that it appeared Ill the Senate document.
