DESIRE TO KNOW HOW
HEARST GOT LETTERS
Senators to Investigate Edi-
tors Methods in Acquiring
ArchboId Correspondence.

The Senate committee which is investi-
eating campaign contributions and ex-
penditures has decided to make an in
quiry to determine how William Ran
dolph Hearst, the publisher, obtained a
big batch of letters written by John D.
Archbold of the Standard Oil Company to
members of Congress. The letters have
been published in Mr.. Hearst's magazines
and newspapers, and have recently been
presented to the Senate committee.
The inquiry into the methods used by
Mr. Hearst to get possession of the cor
respondence was suggested by former
Senator j. B. Foraker of Ohio. who was
the recipient of some of the letters, and
who made explanations of their meaning
to the Senate committee few weeks ago.
Sends More Copies.
More of the STANDARD DIR letters We're
submitted to the Senate committee yes
terday afternoon, Photographic copies
being forwarded by Mr. Hearst in &C
cordance with a recent request of the
committee. When Mr.. Hearst was a wit
ness before the committee he said that
he had more letters besides those he fur
nished the committee at that time. but
that he did not consider them pertinent
to the inquiry being made by the Senate
committee. The committee, however, ask
ed him to send copies of them, so the
committee itself could determine whether
or not they were pertinent.
Most of the batch of thirty received by
the committee yesterday have been pub
lished before in some of Mr.. Hearst s
publications. They represented CORE
spondence between John d. Archbold and
former Senator John NJ. McLaurin of
South Carolina, former Senator Quay of
PENNSYLVANIA and former Representative
Sibley of Pennsylvania. Two letters from
former Senator Nathan Il. Scott of West
Virginia to Mr.. Archbold We're produced
in which Mr.. Scott describes the hot
campaign in West Virginia in 1904.

Bad Signatures.
From the London Chronicle.

From the london Chronicle.
The typewriter has done much to sim.
plify correspondence in the matter of legi.
bility. The scrawliest Of writer's cannot
go far wrong until he comes to the cru.
cial point-the signature. That signature
is in most cases of much Importance. And
1t is somewhat strange that very few men
can sign their names legibly. I have on
my table half dozen legible typewrit.
ten letters. signed, but cannot tell from
whom they come.

Opinion Is Divided.

The immigration special board of in
quiry at Ellis Island held that Myths
had been convicted of such a crime and
ordered his deportation. Opinion is di-
vided in the Department of Commerce
and Labor as to whether the offense
falls within the category of moral turpi.
tude.
In his appeal to Secretary Nagel, My
Illus declared that his trial in Eng
land was a farce: that his alleged offense
was aimed against monarchal govern
ment. and consequently he should be a
desirable an dnot an undesirable immi-
grant to a republic. He contended the
order for his deportation was contrary
to the Constitution of the United States.

oughs OF Kennett Square, Avondale
and West Grove and to the townships
Of East Marlborough, London Grove,
New Garden and Kennett. The COM
bined companies own and operate 80
miles Of transmission lines. It is the
plan OF the new owners. who also
control the Wilmington aad Philadel-
phia Traction Company, TO greatly
improve the electric light and power
facilities in this territory by building
a transmission line connecting The
lines OF the Chester County Lighting
Company with the lines OF the Will
mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company and by supplying the new
territory from the large central power
plant located IN Wilmington and own
ed by the Wilmington and Philadel-
phia Traction Company.
This means that the electricity for
this entire community will be pro-
duced in Wilmington. It also means
closed business relations between
Wilmington and her neig-Jors in the
southern part OF Pennsylvania.
The work Of equipping the line Is
now under way and the cost OF erect
ing the lines will mean an expendl-
ture of at least $4,000. When #. W.
Wilson, vice-president and general
manager Of the Wilmington and Phil

viewed today on the subject he said
It would be a big thing for this city.
While the local power plant was able
to care for the immediate needs. he
said that it meant an addition to the
