COMMERCE BODY
TO Be DISSOLVED

Washington, Jan. 16. - Congress
promises to have its hands occupied
for some time in dealing with cases
involving the purity of the courts.
The senate has followed up it's dis
missal of Judge Robert W. Archibald
from the court of commerce by agree
ing to the abolition of the entire
court.
The house judiciary committee pro-
poses to investigate charges filed
against Federal District Judges John
C. Pollock of Kansas and A S. Van
Valkenburg of st. Louis.
Charges have been made against
Circuit Judge Peter c. Pritchard and
District Judge James E. Boyd OF
North Carolina in a report submitted
by Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Cabell.
In deciding to terminate the COM
merce court congress has acted against
the wishes of President Taft The
court was created on the recommends
ton of the president and it has been
maintained by him through the exer-
else of the veto power.
He urgently insisted that an appro-
priation should be made TO pay it's eX-
penses during the next fiscal year.
Congress is willing to extend the life
of the tribunal only to the close of the
fiscal year, and this concession is
granted because of the necessity Of
giving the judges time to distribute
the cases pending before them.
Otherwise the court would end on
March 4, until which date the existing
appropriation is available.
Considerable opposition was shown
in the senate today to the proposition
to permit the court to live until June

publicans and reactionary democrats

The amount appropriated is slightly
under $4,000. Senators Cummins and
Kenyon of Iowa were the only republi-
cans of progressive tendencies who
| favored the provision. All the other
| progressives, progressive republicans,
and most of the progressive democrats
| voted against it.
The chances are that the house will
! join with the senate in authorizing
the appropriation, but it is understood
in both chambers that no effort is to
be made during the extra session to OBJ
tain an appropriation during the next
fiscal year. All that will be done will
be to pass a resolution approving the

REPORTS AGAINST
SENATOR WARREN
House Committee Finds Wyo-
ming Statesman Illegally In
closed Land in 1905.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The Warren
Live Stock company, of which Senator
Francis E. Warren of Wyoming was
the head, was in 1906 maintaining IN
lawful Enclosures" of public lands in
Wyoming and Colorado, according to
a report adopted by the house commit
tee on expenditures in the interior de-
partment.
The committees conclusion was bas-
ed on records, reports and correspond
ence procured from the interior depart
ment, covering the investigation that
was made by the government in 1906
and 1907. These records showed that
after a second inspection, made at the
request OF President Roosevelt, the
company was exonerated of the illegal
acts which special agents of the in
terror department had charged.
No action against Senator Warren's
company is recommended by the COM
mittee.
Included in the documents made pub
lie with the committee report are some
sharp letters sent by President Roose-
welt to Ethan A. Hitchcock, then sec
rotary of the interior, in which the
president declared the interior depart
ment inspectors had not made good
their charges against Senator Warren.
! Special Inspector E. B. Linnen made
the report on Sept Z, 1906, charging
the Warren company with maintaining
fences around 46,330 acres of public
land in Wyoming and 1,120 acres in
Colorado.
In a letter to President Roosevelt
on Oct 5, 1906, Senator Warren de-
clared his company was observing the
law, that he personally had no illegal
fences.
The records show that President
Roosevelt held Secretary Hitchcock of
the interior department responsible for
much of the newspaper attack on Sen
ator Warren. One letter from the for
mer president denounced Inspector
LINEN for including in his report OF
the Warren investigation a file OF
newspaper clippings and reports that
denounced Senator Warren.
The second investigation of the War
rem operations, completed and report
ed upon Jan %, 1907, held that it had
not been shown by the inspectors that
Senator Warren's company at thai
time had any public land inclosed; but
the government inspectors had mis-
taken fences belonging to other par
ties.
In sending this report to Secretary
Hitchcock President Roosevelt said:
''Mr Bonaparte (the attorney gen
eraD feels as, of course, l do, tha
there has been a complete breakdown
on the part of the agents of the in
terror department in this matter as IA
as making any case against Senator
Warren is concerned. The case is par
, ticularly bad for Linnen. l regard tn,
case as much graver against him thar
it is against District Attorney Burke
1t appears that Mr.. Purdy's report tina
his case has been prepared in the loos
est and most inaccurate manner ant
that his exhibits themselves do no
substantiate what he alleges"

to let them pass judgment on it for
themselves.
Furthermore, want it to be made
a part of the political history of my
state. for l am proud of the views I
expressed in the speech and stand by
every word of it. 1 have neither any
excuse nor apologies to make"
Governor Blease also sent a special
message denouncing the members of
the legislative committee which inves-
tigated the graft charges brought
against him by Thomas B. Fielder of
Atlanta in connection with the old dis
pensary system.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-01-16

for the benefit of these men instruc-
ton books are issued in Japanese and
English. 1t is believed that by han
ding practical problems of railroad
ing in both languages the Japanese
workers will not only gain the neces-
sary technical information but also
increase their knowledge Of English.
This is but one of many interesting
phases of the Union Pacific's educa-
tiCnal work. The educational bureau
of the railroad virtually conducts
complete correspondence school for
employees. The instruction is offered
TO any worker whose desire to better
himself is strong enough to make him
willing to study. The lessons are
carefully corrected and graded by Of
ticials of the railroad and returned TO
the men. Record sheets are also fur
nished in order that the men may
keep an account Of the work done and
the percentages received.
The lessons are entirely practical
in subject matter and method. No at
tempt is made to mark anything but
substance. Writing, spelling, gram
mar, and punctuation are not taken
| into consideration in assigning per
cents, but 1t is the experience of the
bureau that employees who have car
ried on the work are aided materially
in these subjects.
The instruction books issued by the
/ railway cover a number of subjects.
Many deal with technical problems of
railroading: Track work, compound
! locomotives, concrete construction, re-
/ frigerator traffic, locomotive firing
block and interlocking signals, ETC.
! There are pamphlets containing
/ 'Dont's" for the various divisions OF
the service; others describe "The
Value of Courtesy" inculcate the
principle of Safety First" or tell

books comprise a history of trans
portation; general information about

BAR CASTRO ON GROUND
HE CONFESSED A CRIME

New York, Jan. 16.-Cipriano Cas-
tro, deposed president of Venezuela,
who has been detained at Ellis Is
land by the immigration officials for
more than two weeks, was denied ad-
mission to the United States yesterday
by special board Of inquiry, on the
ground that in his examination he had
admitted the commission of crime
and felony involving moral turpitude."
Immediately afterward Castro de-
clared he would appeal to the sec
rotary of commerce and labor.
In statement issued by Commits
sioner Williams it is charged that Cas-
tro has committed frequent perjury"
by pretending Ito be ignorant of mat
tiers concerning which a man of his
intelligence and holding the position
which he did undoubtedly possesses
knowledge"
Citing specific parts Of Castro's ex-
animation, the statement Of the board
says:
Speaking of Louis Varela, who sent
him frequent kilograms in regard to
the capture and death of General An
tonic Paroles, he says I do not know
who he is
The statement continues with the
declaration that on information from
official sources he was charged with
responsibility for the unlawful kill
ing of Paroles, but declined repeated
ly to give the government any informa-
ton in regard to the latters death"
Such REFUSAL" the statement says.
together with his manner and de-
meanor when asked concerning these
matters, constitute, in our opinion, an
admission of the truth of the charge.
He is therefore excluded on the
gIcund that he has admitted the COM
mission OF a crime and felony involv-
ing moral turpitude."
