SENATORS IN FIGHT
TO WIN HONOR AS
WILSON SPOKESMAN
Hoke Smith Appears to
Have Good Show for Ad-
ministration Leadership.

Sharp rivalry is arising among the
Democratic Senators for the honor of
taking the leadership for Administra-
ton policies after March 4.
Senator Gore, Senator Owen, John
Sharp Williams, Senator Kern, Senator
O'Gorman, Senator Reed, Senator Luke
Lea, and several others are going to be
in the limelight in this connection.
Lately. however, there is a disposition
in many quarters to think Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia. is the coming man.
Senator Hoke Smith is ambitious, not
only to be the Administration leader in
the Senate, but to be the actual. tftular
leader of that body. He has taken an
aggressive course since he has been
Senator, and is going to be extremely
active. Old-timers objest to his aspira-
tions for leadership because he is a
new conner, and some of the progressive
Democrats attack the genuineness of
his progressiveism-
Nevertheless, Senator Smith is fight
er, and he will have to be reckoned with
as a force on the Democratic side of
the Senate.

The Sergeant-at-arms of the House is
taking long sleep today, following his
protracted vigil about the homes of Will

of a subpoena from the Pujo money

by arrangement between the Rockefeller
counsel and Samuel Untermeyer, attor-
ney for the money trust probers. As
soon as Mr.. Rockefeller capitulated Mr..
Riddell withdrew his guards and came
home for a rest.
Bills Delayed.
1t is estimated that the vigil about
the Fifty avenue and Tarrytown homes
of Mr.. Rockefeller, and the preceding
psofadic search for Mr.. Rockefeller
since the issuance or the subpoena
about forty days ago has cost the Gov
ernment approximately 5000. The Ser
geant-at-arms of the House said today
that it was impossible to make an accu-
rate estimate of the total cost as the
bills of the detectives and deputies en-
gagged have not been presented.
Following tn acceptance of service by
the millionaire's Gounsel, John A. Gar
yer, members of the money trust in
vesting committee said today that Mr..
Rockefeller is expected to appear be-
fore the committee on January L. If
he makes a plea that he is too Ill to
appear, IL is the intention of the House
investigators to have a physician eX-

Want Support.
Members of the committee do not
seem inclined to take the unsupported
statement of Mr.. Rockefeller's own
counsel and physician that it would be
dangerous for him to take the witness
stand.
II the committees physician-in the
event he Is named-makes a report
that Mr.. Rockefeller is in precarious
health he may never be summoned be-

Pujo committee, however. will make
every effort to obtain the oral testi-,
mony of Mr.. Rockefeller, and If this is
Impossible will insist upon taking his
deposition. 1t is held that the belated
acceptance of service, although IL came
secondhand, would now place Mr..
Rockefeller in contempt of the House,

Continued From Page One,
If the Indians were unjustly dealt with
1t is the federal government and not
the state government which should
now make ample provision for them
The federal government owns some
$4,000 acres of land in Florida and I
submit that if it is desired to have an
Indian reservation established in this
state, that a contribution of land be-
| longing to the federal government
should be made to be applied for such
purpose. 1t is true that the federal
government does not own sufficient
| land in contiguous body for reser-
walton, but should the national govern
ment desire for the Indians to have a
reservation in the Everglades of Flor
ida, 1t could make a donation for such
purpose, upon the condition that the
lands donated were to be exchanged
for state lands within the Everglades.
1t is we'll known to the members of
the Legislature that the drainage and
reclamation of the Everglades territory
is now in course of accomplis hment
Within the past few days a bill was
passed fixing an acreage tax upon all
the lands within that territory, and
authorizing the issuance of drainage
district bonds. In the preparation of
this measure it was contemplated that
all of the lands within the Everglades
would be subject to a drainage tax
While I cannot say definitely, it is
doubtful whether or not the 235, 600
acres donated by this measure would
bear its part of the expense of the
drainage operations. l feel safe in say
ing that even if the said land was not
relieved from taxation that the drain
age tax upon it would not be paid by
the Indians, but would have to be paid
by the state of Florida. 1 submit that
wha tever construct may be placed
upon the measure, It would produce an
EMBARRASSING situation. If the land did
rot bear any tax, it would so curtail
the revenue for drainage purposes as
to interfere more or less with the
drainage operations. On the other
hand if the land should continue to be
subject to a tax, l submit that it would
not be proper for the state to be re-
quired to pay the drainage tax upon
land which had been donated as pro-
vided by the said measure.
While it is my desire that our gov
eminent should deal justly with the
Indians, I also cannot forget that we
have in this state approximately S00,-
coo other citizens, who have an in
terest in the property with which we
are dealing. 1 do not think 1t proper
to take from the citizens generally of
cur state property worth several mill
lion dollars and donate the same to
only a very few people. I do not feel
that the commonwealth is under any
obligation which requires such action.
Respectfully submitted,
