accepted the paper with the under
standing that it should not go into
effect until July 81.
Professor Moore issued this state
ment: 81 am in receipt OF a letter
from the president saying that an in
vestigation of my conduct of the
weather bureau discloses such irregu-
larities on my part that the interests
of the public service demand my dis
missal.
I'm reply I will say that 1t is the
same old influences that attempted to
displace and remove DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley without letting him see the
charges or confront his accusers that
are now driving me from the public
service.
81 do not believe that the great or
ganizations that have known me for
twenty years as the chief of the
weather bureau and which largely in
dorsed me for cabinet place will be
satisfied that have done anything
dishonorable until the light Of pub
licity is let in and Secretary Houston's s
Russian-Siberian methods give way to
American fair play.
81 brand as an infamous falsehood
the intimation that any man in the
weather bureau has been coerced in
supporting me for the secretaryship,
any man promoted for serving me or
a dollar Of public money expended in
the interest of my candidacy. |
worked for the place and spent my
own money and so did many of my
friends work and spend their money.
Is this a crime under the new dis
pensation of things?
81 shall gladly welcome any investi-
cation to which the press Is admitted;
but why limit the inquiry to the
weather bureau?"

BRYAN AND CLARK MAKE UP
Once Enemies conclIed-H atchet Is
Buried at Luncheon in Washington.

Champ Clark and William J. Bryan
have wept on each others shoulder
and made up. After elaborate negotia-
tions covering several days the two
were brought together at luncheon
in Washington for the first time since
the falling out at the Baltimore con
vention which resulted in the over
throw Of the Clark boom and the
nominating Of Woodrow Wilson.
The reconciliation of the Commoner
and the speaker took place at a lunch
con given by Ira +. Bennett, Wash.
ington editor, in a private dining room
at the New Wi lard hotel
The harsh feelings between Clark
and Bryan have been one of the
danger spots in the administration.
The speaker came ont Of the Balu-
more convention vowing he would
never again have anything to do with
Colonel Bryan. Clark on every o.
easion showed his bitter feeling TO-
ward the Commoner
No sign Of recognition passed he
tween the two on Inauguration dav
when they were only a few feet apart
at the ceremonies, and it was an open
secret that Mr. Clark's friends feared
his intense bitterness might carry him
beyond his proprieties whenever the
two should meet face to face.

HOUSE RATIFIES
BOND AMENDMENT

SENATE REHUKEO BY HOUSE
Latter Body Refuses to Concur In
Upper Chambers Resolution to Ad-
Journ-Il Feeling Between Houses.

The amendment to the constitution
to provide for bond issue OF $780,
100000 for the improving of the high
ways Of the state has, for the second
time been agreed to by the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature
The next step is to submit it to the
people for approval at the November
election. The legislature of 1915 will
provide the legislation for the spend
ing of the money.
By a vote of 1S9 to 2 the house
passed the resolution finally.
The ill-feeling between the house
and senate developed last week into
open hostility. The house, led by Pro
gressives, Joined by many organization
men, became the aggressor declining
to concur in the customary senate
resolution to adjourn until Monday.
The senate promptly ignored this ac-
tion and adjourned as planned, after
deciding that this procedure was not in
violation of the constitutional restric-
tion of adjournment for more than
three days without concurrence.
The Kline resolution, memorializ-
ing congress for the construction of
public roads to connect the capitals Of
the various states by the government,
was passed by the senate and sent to
the house.
Senator Jones introduced a resolu-
tion asking Pennsylvania senators and
congressman to favor legislation for
the protection of migatory and insec-
tiverous wild birds. 1t was considered
at on:e, passed and sent to the house.
A resolution to provide for the ap-
pointment of a commission of men,
bers OF the legislature for an investi-
cation of the white slave traffic Of
the state was introduced by Harry
Cochran of Fayette county in the
house. According to Cochran the
measure is not an administration one.
The commission would be composed
of five members of the legislature,
two of the senate and not of the same
political party to be appointed by the
president pro TEN, and three Of the
house, not all of the same political
party, to be appointed by the speaker
The duty of the commission would be
to investigate the alleged traffic in

ing the amendment to the federal con
stitution for direct election of United
States senators. A certified copy will
be sent to Washington. The last time
a similar document was signed by the
governor of Pennsylvania was in 1869.
The Kline bill, which would permit
an appeal to the superior court in GER
tain cases where the judges refuse
liquor license, was squeezed through
the senate by the narrow vote of p to
~. There was no debate. This bill
would allow an appeal where an ap-
plicant had held a license for two
years and was refused on his third ap-
plication. The judge would have to
put on the record why he refused the
applicant, especially making note
whether the dealer had Intentionally
and wilfully" sold to minors. This
measure has been keeping company on
the calendar for several weeks with
the Snyder bill to allow brewers,
wholesalers and bottlers to deliver
beer anywhere in Pennsylvania and
the Snyder bill relating to the trans
fer of liquor licenses
The retailers wanted the Kline bill
and 1t was put before the senate to
see how the senators would take to
liquor legislation, the intention being
to follow with the Snyder bills.

FREE RAW WOOL

Democratic Caucus SuStainS
Tariff Revision
CRITICISM FOR PRESIDENT
Charged That Wilson Holds Whip
over Congressman Who Might In
cline TO Balk Over Tariff Measure

Charged That Wilson Holds Whip
over consressmen Who Might In
cline to BaIk Over Tariff Measure.
The Democratic caucus voted on the
free raw wool provision advocated by
President Wilson and adopted it, 1870
to AZ.
The vote was taken on an amend
ment offered by Representative Dies
OF Texas, proposing a rate of 10 per
cent on raw wool.
The fight on the free wool provision
was started by Representative Dies,
who had the support of some of his
colleagues from Texas, members from
Ohio and other wool producing states.
Having in mind President Wilson's
conference with Chairman Underwood
on the tariff Mr.. Dies reminded the
caucus that there were three CO.
ordinate branches of the government,
each supposedly Independent and each
instructed with certain duties to per-
thorlzed to originate tariff bills. He
strongly intimated that in this m
stance the house leaders had shared
their constitutional responsibility with
the executive and that as a result a
precedent had been established that
might prove dangerous in the future.
Representative Alexander of Mis-
souri, who comes from an agricultural
district, spoke more to the point. He
declared that it was common gossip
in the capital that Democrats who
withheld support from the tariff bill
would be punished by the administra-
tion.
Mr.. Alexander charged the mem
bers OF the ways and means committee
with responsibility for circulating the
report as to the attitude of the presi-
dent and he intimated that this had
been done to the end that opponents
Of certain features of the bill might
be driven into line.
Representative Underwood made a
speech in which he defended the bill
and he urged all members of the party
to stand by the measure as it had been
approved by the administration. He
said the bill represented a fair compro-
mise, that it was in the main equitable
to all interess concerned and that in
his opinion it would be approved by
the country.
The entire income tax provision of
the tariff bill was adopted with only a

MOORE BOUNCED
BY PRESIDENT
Alleged Irregularities in Weather
Bureau Office
AK READY FOR MORE EMPLOYEES
Moore Courts Public investigation,
Saying Same Influences That Hound.
ed DR.. Wiley Are Prosecuting Him.

President Wilson summarily dis
missed Willis l.. Moore, chief of the
United States weather bureau, for al
legged irregularities in the conduct of
his Office.
At the same time the president sus.
pended Charles l.. Burns, foreman OF
the weather bureau printing Office, and
took official cognizance of an investi-
cation now under way which may re.
suit in the removal of a number OF
employees on the ground that they have
been "unduly active in using the pub
lie service for private and personal
ends"
THE private and personal ends" re.
ferred to, it is officially admitted, were
the furtherance Of campaign for the
appointment of Moore as secretary of
agriculture in the Wilson cabinet. The
charges of gross irregularities made
against the weather bureau chief re.
late to the same activity.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
in a statement acknowledges that
these charges against the weather
bureau chief are of such a grave
nature that the department of justice
has been called upon to investigate
them.
The appropriation for the weather
bureau is made in a lump sum, last
year of 100000, to be expended under
the direction of the head OF the
weather bureau.
1t has been charged that Burns, the
foreman of the printing office in the
bureau, was particularly active in
furthering the campaign of Moore. 1t
Is said he visited as a labor union
man typographical unions in many
parts of the country urging them to
draw resolutions asking for the ap-
pointment of Moore to a cabinet place.
1t was acknowledged at the depart
ment of agriculture that the govern
ment's investigation of the weather
bureau was still under way, but that
the evidence already laid before the
president was considered sufficient to
warrant the summary dismissal OF
Chief Moore.
Professor Moore submitted his res
ignation to Mr.. Wilson in the usual
way on March ). 1t was announced
on March 10 that the president had
