ADMITS THE TRUTH
Of CHARGES MADE

Los Angeles, Dec. 4.-Colonel r. J.
Cochrane. governor Of the Soldiers
Home at Sawtelle, admitted the truth
of many Of the charges made against
the management Of the home while on
the stand yesterday In the senatorial
investigation. but laid much Of the re-
sponsibility for shortcomings on the
board Of general managers in New
York. The governor was on the stand
nearly the entire day.
Governor Cochrane made no denial
of the fact that only part of the bar
racks home Of the old soldiers was
heated, that the food and coffee provided
the veterans were not what they should
be and that conditions generally could
be improved. He declared, however,
that he conducted the home according
to the regulations. The only time there
were any changes, he said. was when
inspectors sent out by the boahd uf
managers visited the home.
While dining democratically with the
inmates of the home yesterday, Senator
Chamberlains overcoat was appropri-
ated by someone.

OPINION ON WOOL
RATES GIVEN BY
THE COMMISSION.
Held That Minimum Carload
Of 1000 Pounds Imposes
No Unreasonable Burden
on the Shippers.

Washington. Dec. 4.-In a supple
mental opinion on the transportation
Of wool rendered by the interstate
commerce commission today 1t was held
that the minimum carload OF $4,000
pounds imposes no unreasonable bur-
den on shippers. but increases car ef-
ficienoy and economy Of transporta-
tion. The contention of TIM shippers
that baled and sacked wool should take
the same rate was not sustained. it
was held that the rates on secured
wool from New Mexico to eastern des-
tinations is excessive and should be re-
duced, and that wool in western terri
tories should take the fourth class rate.
The decision disposes finally of the
cases instituted by the railroad COM
mission Of Oregon.

Moreover. it is pointed out that by

secure better terms. Military circles
here are of the opinion that since Tur-

proposed 1t would have been better to
have thrown into Thrace all the forces
at the disposition Of the allies and con-
tinued the war.

trails OF the mountains to any faster,
smoother means Of transport. They go
to town, OF course. and some Of them own
property and live in the villages, but as
class they prefer their isolated homes In
the hills. where, each with his small clear
ing and with practicable access to cross
roads store, their simple wants are
abundantly supplied. They need but little.
just the staples from the grocery stock,
tobacco, snuff, cloth and shoes. They no
longer, as a rule, weave their own stuffs,
the hickory dyed homespun Of couple
Of generations ago, but In large measure
they supply their own necessities.
1t must not be thought that all these
mountain people are actual or potential
lawbreakers. Only the exceptional among
them transgress the statutes. Their own
code is rigid. and most Of them are God
fearing men and women. The gang that
descended upon the court at Hillsville
were OF the rougher, wilder class, some
OF them already outlaws and all of them
swayed by the fierce passionate resent
ment which force almost invariably
arouses in primitive communities. Such
a condition could not possibly have exist
ed save in mountainous country where
the physical conditions tend to separate
the people into classes, and to encourage
and permit the isolation of individuals.
Yet this crime will undoubtedly result in
driving back the line This Is, in meas
ure, a process Of evolution that Is now In
progress in the ranges around Hillsville
where the outlaws are being hunted like
beasts. The total elimination Of this gang
lis certain to follow in the course Of time,
and while from this tragedy may come
long-lasting feuds. the net effect will be
q gain toward civilization.

Pensions and Politics.

Senator Kern is on safe ground when
he describes the value Of the services
rendered by the soldiers who saved the
Union. They were inestimable. He is
likewise on safe ground when he declares
that the proper care Of the survivors of
the war Is duty that should appeal, and
does appeal, to all right thinking men.
Even the vanquished have paid tribute in
the most generous fashion in the pension
legislation enacted in the past forty
years.
But that Is not the present question.
That question relates to adding to the an
nual pension charge q sum approaching
seventy-fiye million dollars without pro-
vision for finding the money. II the
money Is voted it must be found. and
Congress can find 1t only by levying taxes
or selling bonds.
Now. as to taxes. The House program
country II there existed single chance OF
bill increases appropriations by seventy
five million dollars. The repeal Of the
sugar tax decreases the revenue by fifty
odd million dollars. The so-called excise
tax is no more than q lawsuit; and many
distinguished lawyers hold that, brought
to trial, the suit would go against the
government.
Does this program look like financier-
ing? Does 1t not more strongly resemble
politics? IL there not the suggestion in II
Of putting the other fellow in hole? II
it not fashioned on lines that the demo-
cratic House proposes and the republican
Senate disposes? When the campaign
for the presidency opens the old soldiers
win be asked to believe that but for the
Senate and the reported attitude Of the
President their allowances would have
been greatly increased: that the House
did all Il could in the best OF faith.
The old soldiers will figure the matter
out for themselves. They have had larg.
experience OF politicians. OF campaign
maneuvering. with their favor as the OBJ

The Virginia Frontier.

1t probably has been surprising to
dwellers in the cities of this part of the
country TO read of the extreme lawless-
ness of the men forming the gang which
made murderous attack upon the court
at Hillsville, Va, the other day. The
town Is only few hours away from
Washington. in one of the oldest Of the
states of the Union, yet II is practically
on the frontier. 1t is more isolated and
primitive than many a place Of smaller
size In the far west. That particular part
of Virginia has never been brought into
close contact with the refinements OF
civilization. There are schools and courts
and churches. to be sure, but the people
who live in the hills lead the simplest of
simple lives, very little advanced from
their ancestors of a hundred years ago
who maintained themselves with their
little corn patches in the clearings, and
bt means of traps and rifles and fishing
lines. They are peculiar people. They
shun society for the most part and are
suspicious OF strangers. They have GER
tain clan laws that are stronger than the
laws of the state. They regard gov
eminent with contempt ranging from
mild federation to active hostility in the
matter Of the excise. They believe thor
oughly in the right to make corn
liquor" sometimes known as ''moonshine''
and again as 'contraband" or block
ade."
People Of this type are found all through
the mountains of western Virginia. south.
