Senator GaIIinger's Charge
(From The New York SUM-

hciary of Isaac Stephenson's gener-
osity would endeayor to defeat it. lie
did not. On the other hand. Mr.. La
Toilette, on being permitted 10 im-
pose ON the currency bill certain OF
his own notions, accepted it, and con-
tributed nightly to its success. Fol-
lowing this a sufficient number OF
Democrats were induced TO support
the seaman's bill, which Mr.. La Fol
lette had been for years trying TO
get through Congress, to bring about
its approval in the Senate, and agree
ment to the conference report under
conditions described by Mr.. Gallinger
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Stone.
II is now charged by Mr.. Gallinger
not as a matter of .hearsay, or Of
common rumor. but as a fact Of his
own knowledge, that certain Senators
gave thier affirmative votes TO the
conference report upon the ground
that they had received assurances that
the bill would be vetoed by the presi-
dent From this it appears that
members of the presidents party en-
titled TO his confidence cast their votes
in the Senate under the belief that
the evil consequences of their support
OF vicious piece of legislation would
be rendered impossible through the
Intervention OF the president. OF their
conduct, and their betrayal OF the
trust reposed in them by their CON
stituents, il is not necessary now to
speak; their derelictions are suff-
ciently obvious to be appraised with
out further comment.
But the assurances which led them
TO disregard their oaths offer an in
viting field for inquiry. BY whom and
to whom were they given? Was the
agency through which they were dis
tributed authorized to make the pledge
that was eventually disregarded =?
Was Mr. Wilson'S attitude correctly
represented in them when they were
passed. or was he the victim of a
trick? Was his name misused without
his knowledge Was lie the innocent
aud unconscious tool Of unscrupulous
advocates Of the seamens bill, or
were the guarantees in which his
name was used authentic when they
were issued, and vitiated only by a
subsequent reversal Of judgement on
his part?
Mr.. Gallinger refers to other in
stances in which assurances chat
the president would exercise his veto
came to\ naught." These assurances
have, indeed. proved a weak and use
less defence against unwise and i'll
considered enactments. They do not
excuse cowardly yielding by members
OF Congress to the demands of pro-
ponents Of foolish and bad bills. but
the fact that timid, pusillanimous
legislators take refuge behind them
does not render less important the
revelation Of the source from which
sprang those reports OF Executive
purpose which in the case of the
seamen's bill helped to infiict on the
nation the calamitous seamen's law.
These sentences in Mr.. Gallinger's
statement should be read with acute
attention in the White House. They
come from serious and responsible
Senator Of the United States, and they
require an explanation Of this sinister
aspect of case mysterious i'm its
whole course from the individual
most nearly concerned in protecting
the good name of the President of the
United States.

The historical accuracy Of those de-
tails Of the statement made by Sena-
tor Jacob II. Gallingcr, Of New Hamp-
shire, with regard TO the passage Of
the seamen's law by the Senate
which are capable Of proof in the
official report of the proceedings Of
the Congress, is fully established by
the Congressional Record Of February
%, 1915. The conference report was
agreed to by the Senate February 26.
On the following day. the Military
Academy appropriation being under
consideration, Senator Smith, of GeOr-
gia interrupted the debate in an effort
TO obtain reconsideration OF the vote
by which the conference report on the
measure had been accepted.
Mr.. Smiths explanation OF his rea-
son for this motion was in words
similar to those used by Mr.. Gal
linger in his statement. The Senator
from Georgia believed the advocates
of the measure we're to consume some
time in its defence. lie left the cham
Der to attend to other business. On
his return he learned that debate had
ceased and the vote had been taken.
His understanding Of the intention
held by the proponents OF the measure
was shared by Senator Stone, who in
the course of the debate on Mr..
Smiths motion to reconsider de-
clared that this conference report
was agreed to under very peculiar
circumstances" and:
Personally, ] think advantage was
taken OF their (the opponents of the

Mr.. Gallingers assertion that the
report was agreed to by the Senate
under circumstances that are not at
all creditable to its promoters ap-
pears TO be completely justified by the
official journal of that bOdy's pro-
ceedings.
Another declaration made by Mr..
Gallinger is not at present susceDti-
bic OF exact confirmation. IL is pos
sible that there exists no official docu-
ment by which its truthfulness may
be established. For the honor OF the
nation we may even hope that no such
confrmatOry evidence. can be pro-
duced We have in mind this astonish-
ing statement.
"To my knowledge certain Senators
voted for the adoption of the confer
ence report upon the ground that they
had received assurances that the bill
would be vetoed by the president.
The precise nature Of the assur-
ancos that they received I am unable
TO state. but that that argument was
used as o reason why the report might
safely be agreed to is beyond doubt;
but, as has usually happened during
the administration. the assurances that
had been given that the president

MANY Ways
Of Separating Man From His
Money, Says Newark Paper
Newark American Tribune.)

The desire to make money rapidly
is the bane of the American people
and this weakness is apparent every
day, even Newark is not exempt
from having among its residents peo-
pie who will bite on all sorts of
schemes for the unwary to throw
their money away on. Recently
man in this city was caught for $100
on simple recipe for dyeing. One
man has been caught three times to
the tune of $3.50 each time, but, luck
lily for him, was enabled to recover
his money, only, however, after he
had made fight for it. One man
was caught three times, once for
$4,000, once for $4,000, and once for
$4,000, and he had to hold the sack
each time. Almost daily reports
come in of people who have been
flim-fiammed for small amounts by
cheap skates who work a catch-pen-
ny scheme on them. In most cases
these latter are women who are
coaXed or even threatened into pur-
chase. 1t is always a good plan
when a proposition is made by a
stranger which only takes compar-
| atively small amount to finance 1t to
turn it down, for ninetiy-nine times
out of a hundred it is only a scheme
to separate a man from his money.
And it would be well, also, not to
| believe each time that the hun
| dredth chance is the one which
comes to you, for it is an assured
| fact that there are plenty of men
with money who are ready to finance
any good proposition that comes up
stranger to go out into the highways
and byways to get persons to invest.
The good things" are always cap
! italized in the larger cities unless it
chances to be a local affair. The
farmers are often the victims of men
who are buying property" and be-
fore one knows what he is doing he
will have a note at the bank to pay
or else lose his farm through fraud.
There are many tricksters in the
world and as many tricks utilized to
obtain the other mems money.
The business man is equally guilt
BILE when what he thinks is a good
thing is presented to him as can be
verified by business men of this city.

WORK
Started Of Laying Out Golf
Course At Country Club

Tom Bendelone of Chicago, ILL.,,
veteran in experience of laying out
golf courses, arrived here Friday
morning to start in his work of lay
ing out the course for the local coun-
try clug on the site south of the city.
Bendelone has been laying out
courses for over twenty years and in
that time has over 900 courses to his
credit. He is an expert on the up
keep of course and his advice is
eagerly sought by many golf and
country clubs.
Bendelone will remain here until
he has laid out a nine-hole course.
He is connected with the A. G. Spald-
ing Co. of Chicago in the capacity of
a golf adviser.
After survey of the site Friday
morning, Bendelone stated that of
the 632 courses he has laid out, the
local course would require less mon
ey for the work and to maintain. He
added that the course has the best
natural sod he has ever seen Ben
delone also approved the location of
the club house near the road instead
of at the edge of the woods on the
far side of the grounds.

BRITISH CONFISCATE
AMERICAN MEATS
Uncle Sam Not Likely TO Take
Any Part In the Case.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Mucn inter
est was expressed at the state depart
Dlent in the reports of the decision of
the British prize courts in the cases
of the American packers, whose goods
tc the value of more than $15,000,0O0
are now under orders of confiscation
Ly the British government. The car
goes were consigned to Germany.
The adverse decision of the court in
the majority OF the claims arising
from the cases of the four ships in
volved was no surprise here. 1t had
been anticipated as result of the
proceedings before the court.
While interested in the case not
only because of the principles in
volved, but also because of its magni-
tude and the volume of American
trade likely to be affected thereby, the
state department has taken no direct
or official part in it.
There is no expectation that the
United States will take any part in
the case now that it has been decided
against the Americans. The only
ground for the intervention of the
government in behalf of the claim
ants, the charge that there has been
b denial of justice, can not be claimed
by a government on behalf of its clti-
zens, claimants before another gov
ernment, until the claimants have ex'
hausted all legal resources open to
them. Since the prize court in rem
dering it's decision gave notice to the
American claimants that they might
appeal to the courts decision, it is
not expected mere that the govern
ment will be asked until the appeal
has been taken and decision rem
dered.
