They declined to answer this question,
but would not say just what they
wanted. Prof Carver then told them
in y2ry plain language just what he
thought OF the General Education
Hoa,rd AID its patron. Very soon af-
.er this the newspapers carried
brief notice to the effect that Prof.
Carver had not found his work in the
department of agriculture entirely
congeniaI and would probably return
to Harvard at the end Of the year.
He did return to Harvard soon there
after.
By this time conditions in the de
partment had become so unbearable
chat decided to take hand in help
ing to remedy them. Accordingly, |
wrote resolution removing the
Rockefeller funds from the depart
ment, amounting at that time to
, $6u0,OOO a year, and substituting fed
eral funds for them. The resolution
also prohibited the department from
cooperating with the General Educa-
ton Board, or any similar organiza-
ton, which he did the next day. This
resolution, modified in language, but
not in effect, was finally embodied in
the agricultural appropriation bin,
and passed both houses without a sin
&c dissenting vote. 1t is still on the
statue books.
There was CONSERVATION in Secre-
tary Houston's office at this action by
Congress. One of the Rockefeller
appointees in the department told a
friend Of mine that the Secretary
would Ike mighty we'll to know who
wrote that resolution. If he could find
out who it was he would make it
hIankIty blank interesting for him.
Secretary Houston's belated inter
est in cost Investigations dates from
the time when he began to fear an
investigation by Congress. Even so
late as Nov. :, he says, in his letter
to the Senate, IF such Investigations
are undertaken, etc. and again, 81 am

|. A. TIMES ON
WAR PATH AGAIN;
CANAL DOOMED

The Los Angeles Times is on the war
path again. In an Exclusive dispatch"
from it's Washington correspondent
this morning the Times purports to
tell the people Of the Valley that the
"All-American Canal doomed
Under this headihgads a supposedly
"inside story" of how president Wilson
strongly disapproves the canal plan,
how the local committee received a con-
fidential report 'by error" with the
added insinuation that the second dele
cation broke a confidence; how the re-
port is radically against the proposed
canal, etc.
It's highly sensational story and
would be, as a Valley resident remark
ed, quite important if true"
That there is no shadow of truth in
the report is shown by the fact that
the last telegram from the delegation
contained the information that the COM
mttee has been informed of the exist
ance" of such a report. This gives the
lie to the Times story that the delega-
ton had secured a copy of the report
"by error
The report of the delegation goes on
to state; (the telegram being published
in the Imperial Valley Press several
days ago. that the report while un-
favorable in some particulars contains
the recommendation that if our project
is worthy a direct appropriation be
asked etc.
The entire story was discredited
wherever read this morning.

MODIFY PROTOCOL
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Dec. S-The allies have con-
sented to modify some of the terms OF
the protocol putting the peace treaty
into effect to which Germany has made
objection.
The clause providing for indemnity
for the destruction of the German fleet
at Scapa Flow has been modified so as
to refer to the Hague tribunal the
question whether the delivery of the
tonnage demanded will cripple Ger
many, it is understood. The under
standing also is that other features of
the protocol most Objectionable to Ger
