LUBIN ATTACKED BY
SENATOR WILLIAMS
American Representative in Rome
Target for Hot Criticism.

A fght to oust David Lubin, Ameri-
can representative OF the Information
al Institute Of Agriculture at Rome,
was voted down by the Senate yester-
day after n close fight.
Lubin was assailed by Senator Will
hams, of Mississippi, as a man unfit
to hold public ONCE for any country
anywhere. Senator johnson, of Cali
fornia, hotly replied
The contest against Lubin was in
volved in an attempt to strike out Of
the consular and diplomatic appro-
priation bill an item Of IS 600 to main
tain Lubin in his position. It was
voted down, IS to 26.
Williams described Lubin as a man
OF philanShropic intent, but without
practical sense or an understanding
Of the problems which his institute
was attempting to solve. He said the
first time he had heard of Lubin was
when the latter, twenty years ago,
attempted to have placed an export
tax on agricultural products.
"A man who has grown to maturi-
ty," said Williams, without knowing
that the Constitution, expressly for
bids that. is SO ignorant of govern
ment that he is unfit to represent it
anywhere anytime. They say he is a
man of large means. 1 have never
connected in my mind large means
with intelligence. Let him follow the
example Of other wealthy men, serve
for u a year. He may be worth
that"
Johnspn replied that Lubin, once a
man ofNarge means, had expended his
fortune and energies to found the In
ternadonal Institute of Agriculture,
universally admitted to be of wide
usefulness. II he had done no other
thing, said johnson, he would have
deserved better than to be ''founy
abused" on the floor of the Senate.
Williams jumped up and asked
johnson to withdraw the phrase
"foully abuse" The latter replied he
would withdraw 'foully'' but not
abuse"
After minutes clash, both declared
they would let all of their original re-
marks stand.

penses.

uniforms, but will lay their army

servance.
CLARA Barter Founder.
Out OF the sufterins or the soldiers
and civilians OF the civil war came
the reSlization of the urgent need
for some such merciful organization.
Clara Barton. the founder of the
Red Cross, had seen failure in the
methods Of relief IN vogue In the'
sivil war, to which work she de-
voted her life during that period
After the four hard years of work
with the SANITARY Commission" she
went 10 Switzerland to recuperate
and It was there that she caught
the spirit Of the Red Cross and re-
turned to America to do her part
TOWARD upbuilding what has now
proven to be the greatest humani-
tartan organisation in the history Of
the world.
Clara Barton sufferd many tenn
porary defeats; she was put OF time
and time again by Congress. But
with the coming of the administra-
tion OF President Arthur Congress
saw the urgency OF the proposed or
ganization, and on March l6, lss2,
ratification by the Senate made the
Red Cross OF America q reality, aud
the American Assocition Of the Red
Cross came into being.
