A Washington special TO the Times
in announcing Mr. Fuller's return
says:
"Mr. Fuller is regarded as one OF
the most capable men in the consul

mission given to him. He was order
ed to make his long journey in his
own boat and not to avail himself
of transportation or hospitality of
any kind from the officials or agents
of the rubber company.
"The reports confirm in general
scope and in details the terrible prac.
tices narrated in the report OF the
British Consul General Sir Roger
Easement in 1911. Mr.. Fuller saw
and Intercepted victims and eye-wit-
nesses of the barbarities practiced BY
the rubber company's agents, and
found everywhere abundant confirma-

burned alive for petty offenses, IN
some cases kerosene being poured
on them. Spanish and West Indian

RAILROADS FEEL
EFFECTS Of RUSH
Christmas Rush Greatest Ever Known

The railroads are feeling the effects
of the Christmas business greater this
year than in any previous one, and q
such an extent has it reached that II
Is impossible to get the trains over
the road on anything like schedule
time.
The passenger trains are experience
ing great difficulty. Owing to the
great number of freights being run,
the passenger trains are unable to
make the required time, because in
many instances they are caught be
hind them and delayed fors several
minutes.
Then the express business has cut
quite a figure. All stations where ex-
pressage is received and discharged
the trains are usually held several
minutes, thus causing them not to be
able to reach the next station on time.
This condition, railroad men, say, will
continue until after the first OF the
year, when it is expected that there
will be some relief Today all trains
on the b. & o. were delayed any
where from 80 minutes to one and one
half hours, causing the travelling pub

WEST VIRGINIA
HELPS DISTRICT
Last Year We Contributed SS2,2s2
90 - W s4'sssess..z
Toward the Expenses of the Dis
trlct Of Columbia.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.--The PEG
pie of West Virginia contributed last
year $S2,2S2 toward the expenses Of
the District of Columbia and City of
Washington, according TO Congress
man Ben Johnson, of Kentucky, Chair
man on the House Committee on the
District of Columbia.
A series of Investigations have been
made by the committee of the Dis
trict of Columbia under the supervis-
ion of Chairman Johnson into the fl
nancial relations of the various states
to the government of the District Of
Columbia and the portion of the ex-
penses of the District borne by the
people of the different states. Through
federal channels the various states
pay each year more than six million
dollars toward the maintenance OF the
government of the District OF Column
bia. Dividing this amount among the
states in proportion of their popula-
ton, Mr.. Johnson has reached the con
clusion that West Virginia pays an
nually more than $4,000 to keep up
the City of Washington and the gov
eminent of the District OF Columbia.
The amounts expended by West
Virginia for the different divisions OF
the Washington city government Is
given by Mr. Johnson las follows: to
the maintenance of schools, $2l,206;
street sewers and water mains, $S,O50;
police, SO. 773; improvements and re-
pairs. s15,3SS; salaries and health
$5.5l5; interest and sinking fund, So
473; street lighting. sS,oS6; fire de-
partment, $4,4S0; charities and cor
rections. s9,265: miscellaneous, ~
101; total-sS2,2S2.
This money Is not paid by the state
of West Virginia TO the government,
but is collected from the people all
over the United States and assuming
that they are all taxed equally the
amounts given are properly chargeaDie
to West Virginia.
The people OF West Virginia may
feel surprised that they pay each year
nearly $4,000 toward the maintenance
of the fire department of the City OF
Washington or more than $4,000 10
keep up the Washington City schools
but this is what they are doing ac-
cording 10 a statement by the Chair
man Of the Committee on the DIS
trict of Columbia. Consequently
whenever West Virginian comes TO
Washington he has a right to feel q
proprietary interest in the govern
ment buildings, the asphalt streets
and the automobile fire engines.
