Forty More Said to Have Used

perts in Campaigns.
frrom The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Feb. l5.-The Democrats ~
tho House who have been expecting 10 make
campaign capital out OF the alleged friendly
relations OF the Department ~ Agriculture
to the development Of the Florida Ever
glades. ran into q snag to-day. They are
now beginning TO fear that this investiga-
tion. like their others. may prove boom
erang. Only the hurried adjournment OK
the committee at noon to-day prevented so
licitor McCabe from reading into the records
the names Of about forty Southern Demo-
Gratis who borrowed employees of the De-
partment Of Agricultur" to aid them by
making speeches in their political cam
psigns.
There was n hint Of condition N this
sort Yesterday. whea ]. q. Wright. formerly
an engineer Of tn" dcpar ariment and now IN
charge of the Everglades drainage project
testified that in 1905 he and five other de-
partment employees travelled at government

The hearing was almost over to-day when

poyes OF the department. and VINO were
having their expenses paid by the govern

fortunes Representative Clark, OF Florida.
who started the investigation now being
made by the Moss committee, was the nrst
TO object to-day 10 the Solicitors being
permitted TO make public the names OF tns
members in question. He insisted that u
would not be proper, on the ground that the
public might misconstrue their motives.
At this point adjournment was suggested
and the motion was carried with a rtisn.
Those members of Congress who remember
the furry in 1903, when Senator Brtstov'
OF Kansas. then Fourth Assistant Postnas-
ter General. published in his celebrated re-
mort the names Of members OF the House
who were renting buildings TO the Postofice
Department and were otherwise the re-
cipients of departmental favor, think tho
Everglades investigation may. in a milo
way. reveal somewhat similar conditions.
II is not believed that any efforts that
NAV be made to suppress the list OF those
members. most OF whom appear to be South
ern Democrats. who were the recipients or
unusual favors from the department In cam
paign years. will be successful. Conse-
auently the meeting OF the committee to-
morrow morning is awaited with consider
able interest
The Everglades controversy was brought
up in the Senate by Senator Fletcher or
Florida. who denied that any OF the gov
ernments reports had been suppressed or
changed at the instance Of the state au-
thoritics.
