WICK TRIED TO
 HOLD UP FUND
 F0RRAILROAD

sham, who has begun hgnt agalnsC Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, demanding that the latter with draw from the management Of the Alaska railroad, started his fight on the Alaska railroad February 10, when he introduced in congress bills and resolutions forbidding the Presf- dent authority to create any indebt- edness in connection with building the railroad beyond the original $35,- 100000. At the same time he con- tended that the $35,OOO,O00 would not complete the railroad, but that 1t would cost $S,OO0,0OO or $10,O00,O0O more.
 Did Not Help Get Appropriation
 On February 23, when the appro- priation bill which carried an item of s4,0O0,OO0 for the Alaska road was up for consideration, former Delegate Wickersham contended that much of the s3O,0OO,OO0 or so that had been ex- pended had been wasted, and he launched a rather severe attack on the railroad management. Representa- tive Swager Shirley, chairman of the appropriations committee, asked him if he opposed the $4,000,000 appropria- tion. He said he did not. Shirley that the delegate should contend in one breath that the money was being wasted and in the next breath urge that $4,00O,000 more be appropriated only to be wasted.
 Repudiates Former Work
 Representative Madden of Chicago, Republican, called attention to the glowing statements that Wickersham had made concerning the possibilities of the Alaska railroad when the bill was pending making an appropriation for it. Wickersham responded:
 T made great many of the state- ments referred to as glowing. . I felt in glowing mood when this matter was before congress at that time. I do not have such a healthy glow as I had then"
 All of which makes clear that Alaska got her railroad appropriation through congress without the aid of Wickersham.
 Shooting at Railroad a- Wickersham took two shots at the railroad before this speech was made. One of them was a bill and the other a joint resolution. Both were exactly the same. Notwithstanding that he contended it would cost from $8,00O,- 900 to $10O00,000 more than the origi- nally provided $35,OO0,OOO to complete the railroad, both the bill and the reso- 1ution provide that the road should not cost to exceed the sum specified and that the President should not un- dertake to contract to expend any more. In other words, the effect of his bill and resolution would be to more and then quit work with the rail- road unfinished. It meant this or nothing 4..
 Terms of Wickersham's Bill
 The terms of the Wickersham bill and resolution, which are identical, follow:
 Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United Staes of America, in congress as- sembled:
 "Tha Section 2 of the act of con- gress entitled An act to authorize the President of the United States to locate, construct and operate railroads in the' territory of Alaska, and for other purpose approved March 12, 1914, be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows:
