DAUGHERTY IS LICKED

HE PICKED FOR FRIEND

Harry NJ. Daugherty. although
Attorney General, seems to enjoy

against him. At least he told this
one:
A case back in Ohio was to be ap-
peaIed to the Supreme Court. A
friend of his came asking the Attor-
ey-General-to-be to present his side
of the case to the high tribunal.
II can't do it, replied At
torney Daugherty, you see ! have
been engaged for the other side OF
the case"
His friend protested that he did not
know which way to turn. Suggest
some likely lawyer l might get.
Thinking over the list of his pro-
fessional friends. the lawyer chose
one. II think he will be able. ne
added.
And so he proved. for they came
to the Supreme Court and Daughersy
lost the case.
II picked the man who licked me-

OPPOSES SHIFTING
! OF FOREST CONTROL
Slattery Says Roosevelt
Would Fight Transfer if
He Were Living.

An attack upon Secretary Fall of
the Interior Department for his "at-
tempt to have the administration Of
the United States forests transferred
from the Agriculture Department to
his own department was made today
by Harry Slattery, attorney and for
mer secretary of the National Con-
servation Association, before the
forum of the National Popular Gov
ernment League at the Ebbitt Hotel
today.
Theodore Roosevelt put the ma
tlonal forests in the hands of the
Department of Agriculture" declared
Mr.. Slattery. because he thought
that the safest place to protect them
from being stolen from their right
fui owners-the people of the United
States.
Would Fight Transfer.
If Roosevelt were on earth today
he would be right here in Washing
ton fighting the attempt Of Secretary
fafi to transfer these forests to his
department. because he considered
the conservation of this vast store
of public wealth as one of the great
est achievements Of his publ: life"
Continuing, Mr. Slattery said:
Mr.. Fall is reported to have ap-
peaied TO the President to protect him
from the attacks of vicious propa-
ganda emanatiEg from officials of the
Department of a Agricultural The fact
is that Secretary Albert Bacon Fall
suddenly launched his scheme in Con-
gress last autumn and has continu-
ously advocated it, so that his is the
responsibility for the controversy. At
that time Secretary Wallace and Col.
w. h. Greeley were efficiently and dill
gently adm inistering the national Or
ests and saying nothing.
Called Agricultural Question.
I'm a word. a specific reason why
Secretary Wallace is right and why
Secretary Fall is wrong" continued
Mr.. Slattery, is that the proper han
ding of our vast new forest is in
large part a scientific problem, for
which the Agricultural Department is
fully equipped and which the Interior
knows nothing about. Forestry. deal
ing as 1t does with a source of wealth
produced by the soil, is properly an
agricultural subject. The presence of
allied scientific bureaus in the Depart
ment OF Agriculture makes the reten-
tion of the national forests where they
are essential 10 the best interests
both of the national forests and Of the
people who use them"
Should the transfer be made" con-
Guided the speaker, "aS administrator
of the national fores:s-covering, as
they do, 156. 100000 acres of lands rich
in mineral deposits as well as timber
Mr.. Fall would. under the law, have
great discretion and WELD vast pow
ers as to their disposition. In his re-
cent speech in New York he openly
declared that the resources of Alaska
should be opened up to big business.
This, together with his eulogy of Bal
linger. is an index of his mind; it is
easy to imagine who would benefit
under his administration of the ma
tionaI forests"

LLOYD GEORGE

London, Nov. 3.-The report that
Lloyd George is recovering so we'll
from his cold and throat trouble that
he will be able to fill his engage
ment to address meeting in London
tomorrow morning shares the chief
interest of the voters of England TO-
day with the prospect of labor in the
coming elections.
The time limit for making nomina-
tions for parliament expires tomo--
row, so htere is keen curiosity over
what Lloyd George lis going to do
about his threat to "spread the war;
against the Conservatives. Up to
now he has not ia anything def
mite as to his intentions in this mat
ter, and his silence has spawned a
mess of rumors.
The sound threshing labor receiv-
cd in the municipal elections
throughout the country Wednesday
has caused the opponents of labor
just about as much worry as the
Laborites themselves. The leaders
are not without fear that the party
workers may too readily assume the
local results are prophetic of what
will happen in the parliamentary
elections. warnings have been sent
forth from both the Liberal and Con-
servative camps urging the workers
not to abate their energies to pre-
vent labor victory on November Is.

MEMORIAL FOR

TORN AWAY
Tree on Capitol Lawn at Ala

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 3.-The
Roosevelt memorial tree, which
has been the subject of a contro-
versy since planted on the Ala
bama capitol lawn by Montgomery
Boy Scouts last. Friday, myster-
iously disappeared last night and
today officials still were without
the identity Of the miscreants.
A note discovered where the tree
had stood by the capitol night
watchman read:
"Montgomery Ala.,-Get this
Alabama"
ITO all concerned:
"The daughters of the confeder-
acy are our mothers (war moth
ers) and this is the South. There
are no trees in honor Of Southern
gentlemen in the capitol yard at
Washington, and our war mothers
10 not want this one here"
Only yesterday the controversy
resulting from the daughters of
the confederacy objection to the
tree remaining in the capitol lawn
was brought to a climax by the
White House Association president
naming a committee to cooperate
with other confederate organiza-
tions committees in their efforts to
have the memorial removed.

persons connected with the Hall
Mills murder case with the excep-

were summoned to the court house

General Mott for checking, it was
reported, of evidence to be submitted

The Investigators, it was learned,

the case beginning with the two New

the bodies Of the Rev. Edward W,

DIVISION OF
RAILR0ADCARS
INVESTIGATED
Representative Of Interstate
Commerce Commission
Takes up Proposition
COMPLAINTS ARE MADE
COMPLAINTS ARE MADE
Elevators Hold Discrimination
Against Larger Ones in
Present Method

Investigation of the method of
distributing cars to elevators will
be the object of a several days study
in the state by Major Bailey, repre-
sentative of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, who conferred with
railroad men and state officials here
today. Major Bailey's visit is a re-
suit of the trip to Washington made
by Assistant Attorney General
Charles Simon and Frank Milhollan
of the railroad commission. Major
Bailey has been stationed in Min
neapolis.
Inc dispute among elevators re-
suits from the claim of many that
cars should be allocated on basis
Of the capacity or business done by
the elevator last year and not pro-
rata. Under the system of distribut-
ing equally to elevators, it is claim
ed. the larger elevators do not re-
ceive as many cars in proportion to
their business or capacity as do the
smaller elevators, and therefore are
placed at disadvantage. ~
Delegations have complained to
the state railroad commission, but
no action has been, taken. 1t is
stated that the complaints come
mainly from farmers elevators, which
are said to have greater capacity or
do more business in many commun-
tiles than the line elevators. The
railroads have held that under the
Interstate Commerce Commission
rules they were obliged to distribute
the cars in equal numbers to eleva-
tors.
The car situation has not improv-
ed, according to Railroad Commits
sioner C. w. Mcdonnell. If anything,
he says, it is Fighter" now than it
has been, except that there is no de-
maDd for potato cars except for re-
frigerator cars since it is too cold to
ship in any except specially built
cars.
There is probably more crying
demand for livestock cars than for
grain cars, Mr.. Mcdonnell said. The
500 line reported it had only about
20 percent of its requirements in,
stock cars. Elevators still are block
ed in many parts of the state and
when farmers have insisted on haul
ing grain to the elevators, so that it
can be shipped before weather condi-
tions prevent transportation of the
grain from the farm to the eelvatcr,
are running it out on the ground.
Such protection as is possible is
being given the grain. al
There is also little evidence as
yet of car movement to North Da-
kota as result of the Interstate
Commerce Commissions order to
send cars west, except that the Mil
waukee reported getting additional
cars, he said.
Ignite coal mines still are having
in getting cars. Garrison
operators reported they could run
at only about 20 percent of capacity
because of car lack.
