WATTERSON TALKS SOME
MAY SAY MORE IL HIS STATE
MENT Is CHALLENGED BY
RESPONSIBLE PARTIES
FRIENDS NOT DISTURBED
Only Wilson'S Enemies Are Shedding
Amy Tears, Dclarcs Wilson's
Manager.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Will
SON Harvey episode brought forth to-
day, seethed with the arrival Of Col,
Watterson, a statement by S. W. Nc
Coombs, a manager for Wilson, de.
claring that the tears being shed
over the passing incident are wruns
from those who have hitherto been
the most conspicuous opponents OF
Governor Wilson"
Col Watterson, who Will be here sew
eral days in connection with the work
of the Perry memorial committee
made another statement as well ss
the one at Nashville Tenn, by Cen
eral Robert Ewing but declined TO
comment on the incident further.
"As to the Wilson matter" said tho
Colonel 81 have nothing to add to
what has already been said unless i;
be seriously challenged by some re-
sponsible person. Then / may have
a good deal to say"
Was Only Frank Statement.
The statement issued by Mr.. Nc
Coombs follows:
With reference to the alleged Will
SON Harvey incident, it seems to me
that Col. WattersOn has said in a
statement all that needs to be said.
1t appears theretrom that as far back
as last October he himself suggested
to Governor Wilson that Col. Haryeys
support through Harper's Weekly
might be injurious and that he prob
ably told Col Harvey himself the
same thing. 1t would seem that Col.
Watterson had convinced the govern
or of the truth of his opinion, and
had at least impressed Col. Harvey
with the probability of its truth. else
Col. Harvey would not have pro-
pounded the question. 1t Is pass ns
strange that Col. Watterson should
feel concerned that the governor in
private conversation with himself and
Col. Harvey, should in answer TO a
pointed question, give frank express
sion to the very view which Mr. Wat
terson himself entertained and which
he had communicated to the gov
ernor and probably to Col. Harvey.
Another Statement of Watterson.
In October last also the very month
in which he made these suggestions
to Governor Wilson, Col. Watterson
said in the Louisville Courier Jour-
nal editorially:"
Two things seem to be doubly
sure to the Courier Journal, that II
Woodrow Wilson is nominated for
president it will be through the force
of an irresistible pressure of public
opinion; and if he is defeated for the
nomination it will be by some or
ganized agency, well backed with
money.
"'No democrat of modern times has
come into the running. Samuel j. Til
den alone excepted, with half the ac-
quirements as the New Jersey gov
ernor.'
The tears that are being shed over
the passing inc dents are wrung from
those who have hitherto been the
most conspicuous opponents of Gov
ernor Wilson; witness the frequency
of the statements of Mayor Dahlmdn
of Omaha. who has for months not
only been openly opposed to Governor
Wilson but who has been the aggres.
sive champion of another candidate.
The same applies to otehrs who
have dealt in lachrymose expressions.
This of course, is to be expected when
ever any man develops a decided lead
for the nomination.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19.-Dr. Har-

bureau Of the department of agricul-
ture, the storm center OF the food ad-
ministration controversy last summer,
is given a clean bill of health in the
report of the house committee that
investigated the charges and counter
charges. The report which will be
presented to the house next Monday
sustains DR.. Wiley all along the line
except on unimportant details.
The evidence taken in the case was
voluminous but the repor is confined
TO the actual conclusions Of the COM
mittee. Republican members Joined
with the democrats in making the re-
port unanimous.
No Politics in Report.
There is no politics in the report,
said Chairman Moss of the commit
tee. This fact, together with COM

which the members of the committee
had differences of view permitted a

who was the principal opponent of Or.
Wiley in the department and its rec
ommeudatiOn in general, recommend
that DR.. Wiley be given free hand
in the enforcement of the pure food
and drug law, thus limiting very
largely the power formerly exercised
by Solicitor McCabe. This limitation
already has been put into effect under
the action taken by President Taft
shortly after the adjournment Of the
extra session which brought the active
congressional investigation to close

The final statement of approval of

and host Of other witnesses contrib

regarding the demoralized conditions
surrounding the administration OF

In the course Of these hearings DR.
Wiley told how most of his rulings
were arbitrarily overruled, that there
we're few cases of drug law violations
prepared because many lines of in
quiry were taken out of his hands
and turned over to the Remsen ref
cree board for investigation. He said
his hands were thus absolutely par
alyzed." His decisions conflcted with
the Remsen board and he said the
least that could be done for the pun
lies protection was to prohibit the use
of foods or drugs until the board had
decided in favor of their use.
He added that this policy had not
been carried out The big contro-
versy between him and the Remsen
board was over the chemistry bureaus
finding that beuzoate of soda was
harmful.

Local Real Estate Good.

There has been a substantial ad-
vance in the price Of inside Tulsa real
estate during the past four months
In some cases the advance has averag-
ed as much as % per cent. Actual
sales of property, while not as nu-
merous as during some former winter
months. have been made on uni
formly higher level of prices than
prevailed a year ago. ON both ends

dence section. In a Lesser degree the
same conditions prevails on the west
and east sides OF Main street, three

 From Exchanges.

Tucson Citizen: All plans and specifications for the new dormi- tory which is to be built on the University campus were rejected at the monthly meeting of the board of regents Saturday after noon and all bids were ordered re- turned to the contractors. This was done by the regents for the reason that the bids were based on architects plans which had not yet been formally approved and be- cause of this technicality, fearing dissatisfaction on the part of un- successful architects or contractors the board decided to begin all over again with a new advertisement for plans and specifications.
 Arizona Gazette: Just when the paving commission believed every thing was rosy in the way of se- curing immediate resumption of paving operations, the Barber Asphalt Paving company, through Manager Conway, has made it known that it will be unable to execute a new contract for the grade of paving used in the original nineteen blocks paved at $2.09. It is contended by the Barber people that money was lost in the original contract and that unless more equitable arrangement can be effected it will be obliged to forego future work. The Barber people are willing to submit an immediate bid on the future work, based on more intimate knowledge of conditions here which enables them to more nearly determine just about what figure they can consistently offer. But the paving commission is of the opinion that they would not be justified in ac- cepting an increased bid without first giving other concerns an equal Opportunity to bid.
 Mohave Miner: Last Sunday morning report was brought to the Goldroad that the dead body of a man had been found in Spears Lake, near old Mjlltown. Deputy Sheriff Ayers and Judge Welsh, o GoIdroad, went to the lake to in. vestigate the matter and found the body as reported. The man has been shot in the back with a shot. gun and the head had been crushed and then the murderer had tied a piece of canvass over the head and threw the body into the lake. Il nad probably been in the lake three weeks before discovery. The body was identified by a Mexican wood packer as that of man with whom he had been in partnership put with whom he had quarreleC more than a month before, the dis agreement resulting in the dissolu tlon Of the partnership.
