The following IS reproduced from
Fridays Dallas News:
DALLAS. Texas. April IS You
have published the letter wrote TO
the Hon. a. @. Koelble and Bernard
Ridder OF New York concerning the
effort Of Mr. Ridder TO line up the
German newspapers OF Texas in sup
port Of one of my opponents for Unit

nothing OF a conspiracy as the New

that can be said of them Is that !

York to head off the movement. My
attitude on public questions is so
well known that IL WAS rot neces-
sary to have recourse TO these let
ters TO know them. The News, with
its well known opposition to me. has
devoted many columns OF editorial
and news space to criticism of
them.
The charge by the New York
World OF conspiracy TO do anything
but what was honorable and loyal to
this country upon my part or upon
the part Of those to whom | wrote,
so far as / knew their attitudes, is n
libel pure and simple. And The News

Herman Ridder, the father of Ber-

and effective support in presidential
campaigns. Mr.. Ridder seems to
have been induced by some one to
write TO Texas in behalf of the can

apace to argue that it was entirely
proper for me to write my friends
concerning this effort. Most of the

CALLS R. R. LOBBY
NATIONS BIGGEST
Representative Moon Condemns
Methods of Fighting Postal
Payments Changes.

Washington, Feb s. The charge that
"the greatest lobby ever known to the
American people" Is seeking 10 prevent
the substitution Of the space for the
weight payment system in the railway
postal service was made in the House
to-day by Chairman Moon of the Post
Office Committee in presenting the an
nual post Office appropriation bill. lie
declared that the real object Of the
opposition was 10 throttle the parcel
post service in the interest OF express
companies, whose profits are shared
equally by the companies and the rail
roads.
Mr.. Moon told the House that under
the weight system the railroads now
are receiving S60.0O0000 annually for
carrying mails. and that s64.00O,OOO
would be allowed them by the proposed
space plan. They seek not only an in
creased rate. he added, but want the
weight system retained.
They have the greatest lobby at
work to-day ever known to the Ameri-
can people" he declared "Since this
bill was passed IN the House of Repre-
sentatives last session., and did not
pass the Senate, although concurred IN
by the Senate Conference Committee,
there never has been such propa-
ganda promulgated among civilized
people against a government as these
railroads have carried on against this
measure. There has been falsliica-
tion OF every fact that is material for
consideration"

FAIRY BOMB TALE
THWARTED POLICE
Twas a Burglar Hunt, Woods
Explains Again, and Thieves
Were Warned.

Police Commissioner Arthur Woods
last night issued this formal statement
in regard TO the various subway bomb
plot. rookie test and bundle-searching
stories that have appeared in the last
three days:
Il have been asked for a statement of
the facts Of the stories published in
the newspapers I'm the last few days,
with reference to an alleged bomb plot
in the subway.
$50 far AZ the Police Department
knows there was not the slightest
foundation for this report. The stories
apparently grew from the fact that in
order TO try 70 catch some burglars,
who. according to our information,
often came out Of the subway in the
email hours Of the morning at some
downtown station. we directed that the
police give particular attention to these
subway exits for the purpose Of ap-
pretending this band OF burglars.
For some reason. inexplicable TO me,
this attempt 10 catch some burglars de-
veloped into the story Of bomb plot
against the subway. This was particu
larry unfortunate since many persons
using the subway were made nervous
a. a result OF il.
when this bomb fairy tale was de
MED at Police Headquarters, another
report appeared TO the effect that there
had been test IN the Police Depart
ment in which rockies were sent out
disguised as burglars for the purpose
OF testing patrolmen as to whether they
would be sufficiently alert 20 apprehend
these rookie-burglars. There was no
foundation for this either. There WAS
no test made OF any kind.
when this was denied at Police
Headquarters, further statement ap-
pea, ed that the police had been directed
TO make a general practice Of stopping
every one who was carrying bundle
in the street and examining such bun
die There was no foundation for thu;
report either.
"ihe situation then is simply that
the police. i'm their ordinary routine,
tried to apprehend burglars at points
where they had reason 10 believe these
burglars would be. From this grew sue
cessivelv stories OF bomb plot against
the subway, Of testing policemen by
means Of dummy burglars and OF new
and dangerous practice about 10 be IN
stituted by the police against law-abid
ing citizens. Il should be noted in this
connection that the publicity given
thwarted us in our efforts 10 catch

mia recently. The topic Of the day

ton Of immigrants and the best method
OF combining them into great nationsl
organization.
Colonel Harry Cutler, of the Rhode
Island immigration Commission, sug-
gested that the national organization,
In itself fundamentally clearing house
for Americanization, must represent
every state in the country. and that y
should have the cooperation OF oilclals

sentatives from chambers Of commerce
and other semi-governmental bodies
should assist in every way the national
organization proposed.
Practically all the speakers emphs-
sized the necessity of working with,
and not for, the immigrant. They
pointed out that some natives are as
much in need Of Americanizing as the
immigration population Of this country.
Among the speakers were DR.. Jane
Robbins, who asserted that the state
bureaus of education should put a good
teacher in every construction camp IN
