amendment on to the currency bill.
Therefore l moved to refer it to the jul

port a bill against 'inter1ocking directors

LAS to the charges either made by Hob
son or contained in his organ that
voted with the trusts and against a bill
taxing white sulphur matches so high
that they could not be sold, charge
made with remarkable and studied adrot-
ness, the explanation is very simple. The
bill was advocated by the officials of the
Diamond Match company, the only match
trust in America, and was fought by the
independent companies. The Diamond
Match company went so far as to surren-
der it's patent on the quessi-sulphi method
of match making in order to secure the
passage of the bill. / voted against the
bill on the ground that 1t attempted to
use the taxing power to tax an independ-
ent company out of business

Mr.. Underwood was then asked why
Hobson aided with his vote that corrupt
lobby which fought to retain the repub-
lican tax on lumber the shelter of the
people. He said that he didn't know the
reason. Whereupon he took up another of
the Hobson charges.
Il voted against the Weeks Appa la CHI
ian forest reserve bill. l voted for tha
Lever bill instead, because it provided for
the expenditure of equal sums In the
south and north. rather than In the Green
mountains of New England. There were
no such provisions in the Weeks bill The
Weeks bill passed, and my position, by
developments since its passage has been
largely sustained. The south has reaped
very little benefit"
Mr.. Underwood's train was announced
at that moment.
He added just a word: Now, if there
are any other charges concerning which,
an explanation you might desire, I will
refer you, until my return, to the record.
Go to headquarters. Look into the rec
records of both of the candidates. 1 will
abide by the result"
Someone then exclaimed that Hobson
was not RUNNING on his record Mr.. I'm

WOULD NOT AFFECT
ACTS OF OFFICIALS
Lawyer Discusses Possibility of New
man and Oyster Being Removed
from Their Positions.

Should Commissioner Newman and As
sistant Assessor Oyster be ousted from
office on the ground of ineligibility 1t
would In no wise invalidate the official
acts of the de facto incumbents, in the
opinion of John Altheus Johnson, OF the
local bar.
ITO oust a de facto incumbent from the
Office he holds does not at all disturb Ner
affect the acts that were done by him in
performance of the duties Of the Office"
he said. THE terms de facto' and de
jure' merely direct attention to the ma
ture of the title by which the officer
holds, not to the effect OF his official
acts, which are equally valid, whether
the title to the office Is de jure' or de
facto.' OF course, the acts Of a mere
intruder or usurper would be absolutely
void. AS to such a person any one at
any time could call his acts into question
and show his lack of authority. It is
essential to a de facto' officer that he
enter into ONCE with color OF title and
SO entering. the duty is not imposed upon
those who have business relations with
the Office to judge, at their peril, Of the
incumbent's title"
Answer of the District Commissioners
