Figures Called Unfair.

j. K. Shilling. special accountant for
the Baltimore and Ohio. produced what
purported to be statistics of the cost of
operation of trains. among which was
a cost for using the Washington ter.
minal or Union station.
Attorney Hoover, after bringing ONT
the fact that the Baltimore and Ohio
was part owner Of the terminal. esti.
mated as one-third. made the point that
the figures were unfair in so far az
they charged a full amount in terminal
cost. when one-third was returned to
the Baltimore and Ohio, in the form Of
a rebate. by virtue of its part owner
ship.
Mr.. Shilling declared that commute
ton trains were more expensive than
through trains because of freonent
stops. Attorneys for the commmters
attacked the cost statements put in the
record by Witness SHILLING for the rea.
son that all of the trains were not
shown. thus making it Impossible to

Officer Tells of Fighting.

A Russian officer. commanding oat-
terry of machine guns. gave the follow
ing account of this fighting:
at dusk our battery was ordered to
take a certain position to check the
Germans. Within an hour trenches
were dug and the battery masked We
lay all night waiting for the attack.
Before us was a clear space of 1000

noticed a detachment OF cavalry. They
rode toward our position and to a
point within 500 yards of it and then
stopped. evidently suspseting that
something was wrong. We were in
despair when they turned to move
away. since we were without firing
orders.
Harvest Of Death.

left 500 killed.
Later the Germans tried to get
around on our left, but here our ST.

Objections in Literacy Test.

The literacy test and the tests and
restrictions which accompany it con-
stitute an even more radical change in
the policy Of the nation. Hitherto we
have generously kept our doors open to
all who were not untitled by reason of
disease or incapacity for self-support
or such personal records and antece-
dents as were likely to make them a
menace to our peace and order or to
ships of life. In this bill it is proposed
to turn away from tests of character
and of quality and impose tests which
exclude and restrict: for the new tests
here embodied are not tests of quality,
or of character, or of personal fitness,
come seeking opportunity are not to
be admitted unless they have already
had one of the chief of the opportuni-
ties they seek, the opportunity of edu-
cation. The object of such provisions
is restriction, not selection.
If the people of this country have
made up their minds to limit the num-

generations of Americans that have

No Mandate From People.
respectfully submit that no one can
quote their mandate to that effect.
Has any political party ever avowed
a policy Of restriction in this funda-
mental matter, gone to the country on
it, and been commissioned to control
its LEGISLATION? Does this bill rest
upon the conscious and universal as
sent and desire of the American peo-
pie? 1 doubt it. 1t is because l doubt
it that 1 make bold to dissent from it.
I am willing to abide by the verdict,
but not until 1t has been rendered.
Let the platform of parties speak out
upon this policy and the people pro-
nounce their wish. The matter is too
fundamental to be settled otherwise.
I have no pride of opinion in this
question. 1 am not foolish enough to
profess to know the wishes and ideals
of. America better than the body of
her chosen representatives know them
only want instruction direct from
those whose fortunes. with ours and
all mems, are involved.

Radical Departure in Policy.

In two particulars of vital conSe-
quence this bill embodies a radical de-
parture from the traditional and long
tablished policy of this country, a
policy in which our people have con-
ceived the very character of their gov
ernment to be expressed, the very mis-
sion and spirit of the nation in respect
OF its relations to the peoples of the
world outside their borders. 1t seeks
to all but close entirely the gates of
asylum which have always been open
to those who could find nowhere else
the right and opportunity of constitu-
tlonal agitation for what they con-
celved to be the natural and inaliena BILE
rights of men; and it excludes those to
whom the opportunities of elementary
education have been denied. without
regard to their character. their pur-
poses or their natural capacity.
Restrictions like these, adopted ear
lier in our history as a nation. would
very materially have altered the course
politics. The right of political asylum
has brought to this country many a
man of noble character and elevated
purpose who was marked as an outlaw
in his own less fortunate land, and
who has yet become an ornament to
our citizenship and to our public coun-
ellis. The children and the compatriots
of these illustrious Americans must
stand amazed to see the representa-
tives of their nation now resolved, in
the fullneSs of our national strength
and at the maturity of our great insti-
tutions. to risk turning such men back
from our shores without test of quail
ity or purpose. 1t is difficult for me to
believe that the full effect of this fea-
ture of the bill was realized when it
was framed and adopted. and it is i'm
possible for me to assent to it in the
form in which it ia here cast

will not be asked to pass upon it again.
Text Of Veto Message.
The veto message was as follows:
To the House Of Representatives:
1t is with unaffected regret that
f1nd myself constrained by clear con-
viction to return this bill Oh. r. $3.50.
An act to regulate the immigration of
aliens to and the residence of aliens in
the United States") without my sigma
ture. Not only do feel it to be a very
serious matter to exercise the power of
veto in any case. because it involves
opposing the single judgment of the
President to the judgment of a ma
jority of both the houses of Congress
a step which no man who realizes his
own liability to error can take without
great hesitation. but also because this
particular bill is in so many important
respects admirable, we'll conceived and
desirable Its enactment into law
would undoubtedly enhance the ef-
ficiency and improve the methods OF
handling the important branch of the
public service to which it relates. But
candor and a sense of duty with regard
to the responsibility so clearly i'm
posed upon me by the Constitution In
matters of legislation leave me no
choice but to dissent.

Mr.. Garretson asked if there was an ar
rangement by which the Colorado opera
tors were to distribute 1000, 900 copies Of

Mr.. Garretson read letter written by
Mr.. Hubbard in which he said the price
Of his magazine was 5000 thousand.
Rev. John Hayes Holmes, pastor of the
Church of the Messiah. in this city, was
the next witness. He discussed the aid
given to the Belgians by the foundation.

Gus Of the foundation.

Frank Lee. now a member of the per-
sonal staff Of ]. D. Rockefeller ST., who
compiled and wrote the bulletins which
gave the operators side Of the labor
difficulties in Colorado and which were
entitled The Truth About Colorado"
testified at length regarding an error
in those bulletins. which were sent
broacast over the country.
A sum was stated in the bulletins as
that which the labor organizers, in
cluding Mother" Jones, had received
as compensation for their services for
nine weeks. when In reality the COM
pensation was for an entire years
work.
Correction Delay Explained.
The material for the bulletins was fur
nished by Mr.. Welborn. president Of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron COMPANY.
and other operators, Mr. Lee testified
The bulletins were in transit from
Philadelphia. where they were print
ed. to Colorado. when Mr.. Lee received
telegram from Mr.. Welborn announc-
ing that an error had been made in
them.
The nature of the error was not dis
closed to Mr.. Lee. but. he said, he ad-
vlsed Mr. Welborn to have printed for
insertion In the bulletins a correction
slip. He did not know the pamphlets
had been distributed without this cor
rection slip until three months later.
Then he personally sent a correction
to all the persons to whom the original

Capital and Labor eBnefited.

Before today's proceedings began
Austin B. Garretson, president of the
Order of Railway Conductors and one
of the members of the committee, said
he thought both capital and labor had
been benefited by the testimony Of Mr..
Rockefeller.
"Mr. Rockefeller" said Mr.. Garrett
son, proved that he was not the kind
of man laboring men thought him to
be. And I think Mr.. Rockefeller has
found laboring men not what he
thought them. 1 am sure he learned
more about Colorado and the working
men in the three days he spent on the
witness stand than in all the previous
years. Both sides were materially
helped by the testimony Of Mr.. Rookie
feller"
Ivy l. Lee. who began his testimony
yesterday, was questioned. upon re-
suming the stand. by Commissioner
Garretson. Mr.. Lee testified that his
personality played no part in the pub
licity campaign he had conducted, but
that he had endeavored to present the
views of the people he represented
truthfully and earnestly. The witness
said that Ebert Hubbard wrote to
John D. Rockefeller. jr., and told him
that he intended to write a magazine
article about the Colorado situation.
Mr.. Rockefeller asked the operators

tion he desires should he visit Colo
