REDFIELD QUESTIONS
PACIFIC MAILS MOTIVES
His Letter Shows Where McAdoo Got Data-Secre-
tary of Commerce Says Many U. S. Ships
Are Eager for Pacific Trade.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-THE second
chapter in the Governments attack upon
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for
having sold its vessels n discontinued
Its line to the Far East was made pub
lie here to-day. II was In the form OF a
letter addressed by Secretary of Com
merce Redfeld to Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdOo.
1t was plain that Mr.. McAdoo ac-
cepted the detailed statements In this
letter as the basis for the assertion
which he made in a speech a few days
ago that IL WAS not the La Toilette
soamens' law but the desire to REAP
large profits which led the Pacific
Steamship people to sell their vessels
to interests on the Atlantic seaboard.
Since then Julius kruttschnitt. presi-
dent OF the Pacific Mall Steamship Conn
pany. has issued "A statement fatty de-
.nying the McAdoo charre and asserting
that the unreasonable burdens imposed
by the seamen's law vas the sole reason
for the ~company's withdrawal from the
Pacific trade. lie contcnded that the
company had merely been fortunate in
having been able to sell its vessels when
there was a good market for them. lie
charged that the government q had
"A fair warning OF the effects OF this
legislation, and that Washington Of
iicials are now attempting to shift the
responsibility.
Secretary Redfcld charges that the
Pacific Mail steamship Company de-
cidcd to withdraw It's vessels without
waiting to learn what construction the
executive officers would put upon the
law, MIR. Rediield goes into the profits
which the steamship company made
through the sale OF It's vessels, aud in
Inmates that the company, after doing
business for sixteen years without a
dividend, took advantage of the cN-
traordinary cargo conditions on the At
lantic selboard to dispose of their Ncs-
sells AT II handsome profit. Tie en-
phssizes particularly the fact hat the
stock OF the company more than doubled
In yalue after the seamen's law was
passed.

Work of EarthWorms.

The soil in which plants take root

production of humus by Charles OAR

earthworms regularly eat earth. as
simulate the digestible organic consti-
tuents and deposit the residue as excre-
ment in little heaps or the ground. in
this way they necessarily till the SUI

parts. All of the soil passes through
