CRITICISM SHOWN
 WRONG IN FACT
MT. Hughes Proved to Be Far
 from Truth

Washington. Aug. 9-Statements made by Charles E. Hughes, republi- can nominee for the presidency, in speeches at Detroit Monday were characterized as false as to facts and of misleading substance" in tele- grams sent by administration officials last night after a long discus sion of the subject by President Will son and his cabinet at yesterdays meeting in Washington. The charges related to changes in the coast and geodetic survey and the census bureau. Secretary Redfield in BinghamtOn, N. Y, telegraphed to Secretary Turn ulty denying the charges made by MT. Hughes and later sent a similar teIe- gram to MT. Hughes. Edwin F. Sweet, acting secretary of commerce in MT. Redfeld's absence, also telegraphed MT. Hughes giving a detailed refuta- ton of the charges. Mr. Hughes cited the retirement of F. Dana Durand as director of the census and the appoint nent of William J. Harris in his place end the replacement of Q. Fl. Tittman as head of the coast and %cOdrtic sur vey by pr. E. Leser Jones. MT. Red fields telegram to Secretary Yum ulty follows:
 Statement of Hughes respecting appointment census and coast survey in Detroit false as to facts and of mis-

the bureaus of which is this coast and geodetic survey) I deem it my duty to correct some grave errors in the fore going statement. Dr. Tittman, super intendent of the coast and geOdetic survey, the scientist to whom you re- fer was not displaced. In February or March, 1915, he came to my office and told me that he had determined to resign on account of ill-health. He said he had reached the conclusion many months before and had already bought a place in Leesburg, Va, which he expected to make his home. I communicated this information to Secretary Redfield, who expressed sur prise and regret. Dr. Tittman's ac- tion was entirely voluntary and was not the result of any request or sug- gestion of the department, direct or indirect.
 You refer to E. Lester Jones, his successor, as a stock breeder and veterinary surgeon. At one time he had farm in Virginia on which he raised stock. This was sold some time before he entered the govern ment service. He never was a veter- mary surgeon. He Is a gentleman of education and refinement. Before his appointment to succeed Dr. Tittman he was deputy commissioner of fish cries (another bureau of this depart ment) and displayed administrative talent of such high order that he was deemed by both the secretary and my self worthy of recommendation to fill the vacancy in the coast and geodetic survey. In our Judgment this bureau was we'll equipped from the scientific standpoint but stood in great need of a man of executive ability to direct and organize it's work.
 About two months elapsed between the resignation of Dr. Tittman and the appointment of MT. Jones. During that interval and before the recom- mendatiOn was made suggestions and advice were freely sought from parties who knew the qualifications of MT. Jones, and also from parties who knew the needs of the bureau, some of them of the highest standing in the scientific world. Since the ap- pointment of MT. Jones the wire drag work on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the coast survey and all other work of the bureau have been developed and prosecuted with marked v1gOr and success.
 "As to your statement regarding
  informed. During the year to which you refer the number of appointments made in the. coast and geodetic sur- vey has been far short of 104. The actual mum Der is 50 of which 38 ap- pointments were made with the ap- proval of the civil-service cOmmis- sion. The remaining 12 were for tenn porary positions chiefly of laborers at salaries of less than S3 day. None of 1 them are under the civil-service law as it stands now and as it stood for years. You say, I believe that 62 were made in opposition to the advice ot the civil-service commission The l fact is that during the entire incun- bency of MT. ones not single appoint :; ment has been made in this bureau in | opposition to the advice of the civil 1 service commission.

leading substance. You may say from me Durand of census retired volun- tarily, was not removed or retired. I recommended him to present emplOy~ ment.
 Harris succession was not politi- cal. Made fine record and promoted trade commissioner for merit. Tltt- man, coast survey, retired voluntarily after my refusing one resignation. Jones, his successor, promoted for meritOrOus work as deputy commits sioner fisheries. Has made wonderful record installing new life into serVice.'
 Sweets Telegram to Hughes.
 Mr. Sweets telegram to MT. Hughes follows: Tn a speech at Detroit yes- terday you are quoted as saying: We had in the coast and geodetic survey an eminent scientist, a man who had won distinction in connection with hs scentific work, a man of very eminent rank. He was displaced to make room for an excellent stock breeder and vet erinary surgeon.
 Tn the coast and geodetic survey we have had a very extraordinary con- ditiOn with regard to expert places. l mean places that were taken out of the civil-service laws. I shall not go into the exact figures. In the year ending about April, 1916, there were taken out 1O4-that is, appointments by executive action, removed from the operation of the civil-service laws, to the number, l believe, of about 1O4. I believe that some 20 of those were made without seeking the advice of the civil-service commission; I believe that about 23 were made after seek ing the advice and with the approval of the civil-service commission, and I believe that 62 were made in op- position to the advice of the civil service cOmmissiOn.'

CHILD LABOR BILL
 PASSED BY SENATE
Tillman DenounCeS Selfish Inter- eSts and Vote Catching Politicians

Washington, Aug. 9.-The senate vent interstate commerce in products
 of child labor. The vote was 52 to
 12 The measure, already passed by the house, was brought to a vote in
 the senate upon the insistence of
 President Wilson after the democratic senate caucus once had decided to de- fer it's consideration until next De- cember. Senators who voted against the bill were: Bankhead of Alabama, Bryan and Fletcher of Florida, Hard wick and Smith of Georgia, Overman and Simmons of North Carolina. Smith and Tillman of South Carolina, Williams of Mississippi (democrats) ;, vania (republcans).
 Senator Borah of Idaho did not offer the amendment he had drawn attach ing the immigration bill as a rider in order to force action on it at this session. Amendments to make the prohibition apply only to children un- der 14 who could not read nor write, to make it apply to children on farms and to postpone it's effective date for two years were voted down.
 The bill as passed would prohibit interstate commerce in the product of any mine or quarry in which children under 16 have been employed or in the product of any mill, cannery, workshop, factory or manufacturing esta blishme in which children under IA have been employed, or in which children between A and 16 have been employed more than eight hours a day more than six days a week before 6 o'clock in the morning or later than ' o'clock in the evening. It would take effect one year after enactment.
 During the closing hours of debate yesterday, Senator Tillman denounced southern cotton mill owners oppos- ing the bill and said that while he believed it unconstitutional he was tempted to support it because of the of the interests fighting it. He also declared congress was too much influenced by the attitude of labor interests.
 Servility of present-day vote-seek- 1 CTS to organized labor, he added, pre- sented as great a problem today as ! did the attitude of politicians twen- ! ty years ago to concentrated wealth. i The congress of the United States 1

THE TEXAS BORDER
Something About eli mate Conditions
Where Augusta Soldiers Are Going

Tho following paragraphs from the
Boston Sunday Globe should interest
Augusta people inasmuch as the eli
matte conditions dealt with are what
our boys from Augusta will have to
ac'ustom themselves to:
Notwithstanding the many discom-
'orts that raw and unseasoned men
from the north will encounter they
VIII find the frontier region full of
strange and fascinating interest.
This is particularly true of that
part of the Rio Grande along the
course of that stream for more than
500 miles. There is a marked difference
IN the summer climate of the various
points along the border, due to the al
otude, the nearness of the ocean, and
other reasons.
The overlooking trade wind
sweeps inland from the Gulf of Mex
zoo, tempering the heat Of the sun and
making existence a pleasure the year
around. The effect Of the gulf breeze"
as the invigorating current is common
" called, is felt along the Rio Grand
'or more than 200 miles.
The town of Laredo is among those
M"nln the zone that is tempered with
me constantly blowing breeze from the
gun. From Laredo all the way to the
aclhc ocean the summer temperature
,alles in intensity. The breeze that
eeherally blows from the mountains of
me states of Coahuila and Tamaulipas
ga s.as a cooling effect upon the border
I,oh Laredo to the edge of the Big
Zen country"
