MAJORITY REPORT is FILED
Majority, However, Announces
That There Was Nothing
Wrong in Opposing the Ship
BilI-Theo. Roosevelt Did Not
Appear.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-Charges
circulated during the last session of
congress that administration officials
/ acted in the interest of foreign busl-
. ness firms in urging the passage OF
the government ship purchase bill
were held to be baseless in majority
, and minority reports filed today by
the senate committee appointed to in
yes tigate them. Both reports also
found the shipping interests blameless
of illegal activity in opposition to the
measure.
The majority denounced Theodore
Roosevelt for failing to appear before
the committee to testify concerning
his published assertion that President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan had en-
doavored in the interests of certain
foreign business firms to secure for
the United States the power to pur-
chase the interned ships of one of
the bellgerents. The charge, the
report said, had it's origin in that un-
generous trait of the human mind
which makes it prone to attribute un-
WORTH motives 10 redoubtable rivals
and particularly political antagonists.
THE writer" added the report,
whose eminence was naturally cal
c1lated to give weight to his utter
ance, finding himself without any
basis even of a hearsay character for
hi; slanderous attack upon the high
est officer OF the government, simply
resorted to a palpable sophistry to
escape the responsibility for the as
seIticn he had made"
While the committee found no evil
dence to indicate that the president
or Secretary Bryan harbored any
purpose to buy interned ships, the
majority held that it was not diff
cult to conceive of reasons consistent
with the most exalted motives that
might induce the president to refrain
from public declaration that bellig-
erents' ships would not be bought.
"Such an action" said the report,
would rightly be construed as an
abandonment of our right, which our
nation has vigorously maintained, to
acquire ships by bona fide purchase
though a state of war exists, involV-
ing the nation under whose flag they
previously saidel."
Senator Sutherland presented the
minority report for himself and Sen
ator Penrose. 1--WE do not concur,
it said insofar as the report defends
the bill itself nor insofar as it insists
there would be no improperly in the
purchase of the belligerents idle
ships.
I'VE believe the bill thoroughly
bad piece of legislation and are GER
tain that to have purchased the boats
now seeking security in American
harbors would have developed serious
trouble for the United States
The committees investigation was
authorized by a resolution offered
by Senator Burton, and an amend
ment by Senator Williams, directing
the inquiry as to whether the So
called shipping trust had maintained
a Lobby against the bill

WATCHING PASSENGER TRAIN
NEGRO STRUCK BY FREIGHT
Alex Baker Lost Leg at Mt.
Pleasant Yesterday.

Alex Baxter, cOlered, employed by
l.. r. Akin at Mt. Pleasant, was the
victim Of a serious and painful acci-
dent yesterday afternoon near the sta
tion at Mt. Pleasant.
1t seems that the negro, who is a
teamster was standing a short dis
tance from the depot watching a pas
senger train bound to Brunswick. He
was on a sidetrack and did not see a
freight train, moving north. He was
not noticed by the engineer and al
though the freight was merely moving,
the negro was struck and his leg badly
mangi5d. He was placed aboard the
train and brought to Brunswick. At
the hospital last night it was neces-
sary to amputate the crushed leg.

The little ten-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Morgan of 91S
Carpenter street, passed away yester-
day morning shortly after 10 o'clock.
The funeral took place yesterday aft
ernoon, the interment being in Pal
metto cemetery.
The bright little girl had been i'll for
some time, and everything possible
was done for her recovery, but to no
avail, and she has been lingering be-
tween life and death for the past few
days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan removed to
Brunswick only a short time ago, and
their friends will sympathize with
them in the sad bereavement.

TO WORK IN HARMONY
If There Is Really a Discrimina-
ton, Then the Eoard of Trade
Will Seek Relief from the In
terstate Commerce Commits
sion.

He ulTSClOFS OF Une brunswick
Board of Trade, together vii, several
invited members of the org nization,
held an interesting meeting ) 2sterday
afternoon which lasted fru.n four
O'Clock until half past six The status
of the Macon-Atlantic Navigati com
pany matter was discussed thor 1ghly
and the mooted question of i'm
nations against the port by the lth-
ern railway was gone into from e cry
conceivable point of view.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion on the board as to the exist
part of the Southern, but there ic a
unanimity of sentiment on the CON
clusion that there ought to be some
investigation and a conference with
Southern railway officials on the sub
ject.
On December 81 the Board of Trade,
through Secretary Weatherly. address,
ed a letter to President Fairfax Har-
rison, stating that Brunswick felt that
she was being Disseminated against
and asking for conference for today
on the subject. No answer has been
received to that letter, due perhaps
to the fact that the holiday season was
on and that the time named for the
conference was too short. According
ly after full discussion, in which
perhaps all of the gentlemen took a
rather free hand, a motion prevailed
to the effect that telegram be sent
to President Harrison extending the
time for the conference and advising
him that he would be furnished
promptly with full information of al
legged determinations
The meeting was an interestin" as
well as a very earnest one in which
all of those present declared that they
were in favor of the coming of the
Macon line to Brunswick; that they
were ready to cooperate with any and
all new industries calculated to aid
Brunswick and to increase the COM
merce of the port and finally that if
the Southern railway was discriminate
ing against Brunswick, they were
ready to take the fight up right now
While the meeting occupied two hours
and a half most of the time was
taken up in a discussion by several
gentlemen of the transportation situ-
alton in the Brunswick territory,
freight tonnage, rates, traffic agree
ments, etc.
1t is now believed that the Bruins
wick Board of Trade, working in per
feet harmony, will get a conference
with the Southern railway officials
and it may be that the complaints of
the board will be remedied by the line
without recourse to the interstate
commerce commission. Otherwise. if
it is found that there are discrimina-
tions, and the Southern does not take
1.-The necessary remedial steps, then the
Brunswick city council and the Bruins.
wick Board of Trade will direct the
attention of the interstate commerce
commission to the situation.

terday were President F. c. Butts

ford said he found the roads very fair,
SO far, except in a very few places.
They stopped at the Topliff house last
night and left at six o'clock this

remain for few days before contin-
uing their trip. They expressed

Sutherland, Fla, Oct. 23-(Special)
The work accomplished here this
afternoon by the Blue and White
squad indicated that Coach w. w. Al
derman would put a well-balanced
team in the field Friday when they
meet the strong Rollins team at Win
ter Park. The men were at work at
an early hour and remained on the
field long after the regular quitting
time. Nearly full hour was spent in
hard scrimmage, while the rest of the
afternoon was devoted to offensive
work. The Southerners will rely prin-
cipally upon the aerial attack this
year and most of the work is being
devoted to this means of attack.
Indications of this afternoons work
would point to the fact that all the
positions have been decided upon and
that the eleven men who start the
game on next Friday will bear the
brunt of the weeks work. Only fifteen
players will journey to Rollins. A
line composed of the following men,
King and H. Brown on ends, Gull
breath and Wilson on tackles, Crow
ley and Moody at guards, with Hyer
on center, will bring an average up
to one hundred and sixty-one pounds.
Captain Calvert is being relied upon
to bear the brunt of the backfield
work and his arm will bear an i'm
portant part in the aerial work, while
his toe will be depended upon to do
the punting. B. Fulton will be placed
at left, LoeBan on full and Rast at
quarter, making backfeld at an av-
erage of one hundred and fifty-three
pounds, and the entire eleven averag.,
ing one hundred and ffty-seven.
In substitutes, though few in num-
Der, will be Strother for end, Harvey
for backfeld, Stanton quarter, and
Thrower for center and line. These
men are we'll capable of taking care
of their respective positions and can
be substituted any place.
With two more afternoons in store
for work and development Coach W.
w. Alderman will be able to put out
a we'll rounded team for the opening
game of the intercollegiate season and
the entire squad seems to be in the
pink of condition.

A recent investigation made by the
U. S. public health service in connec-
ton with studies of rural school chill
dren showed that 1913 per cent had
defective teeth. 21.1 per cent had two
or more missing teeth, and only 1863
per cent had had dental attention.
Over ID per cent never used a tooth
brush, 58.2 per cent used one occas-
ionally and only 27.4 per cent used
one daily. Defective teeth reduce
physical efficiency. Dirty, suppurat-
ing, snaggle-toothed mouths are re-
sponsible for many cases of heart dis
ease, rheumatism, and other chronic
affections. The children are not res
ponsible for the neglected state of
their teeth. The ignorant and care
less parent is to blame for this condi-
tion-a condition which hampers
mental and physical growth and puts
permanent handicap on our future
citizens. School teachers can and are
doing much in intoxicating habits of
personal cleanliness on the rural child
but this will fail of the highest ac-
complishment unless parents cooper
ate heartily and continuously. This
is duty which we owe our children.
