OF TEDDY
PROMINENT

Influential Washing
ton Woman,
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NE3 Serrice Writer

EU1 ASHINGTON, Nov 14.--Mls.
1--WE Alice Roosevelt Longworth is
- considered the most inf1uen-
tial individual, politically, in Wash
ington today.
Not being a public character,
though, like her father, she has not
the sort Of influence with the mass
Of voters he had, but doubtless she
could obtain it if she chose.
But that is not her method.
Mrs. Longworth pulls the strings
and when she pulls them she gets
results in Congress and the ex-
ecutive offices.
Whether Mrs. Longworth delib-
erately set out TO acquire all this
political power or whether she at
tanned it through more or less nat
ural developments that she never
particularly willed perhaps she
doesn't know herself.

ANOTHER STEEL
TRUST is BE-
ING DISCUSSED

New rk.-The federal trade COM
missions order that Pittsburgh
plus" in the steel industry be aban-
doned, may result in merger of
independent steel mills.
Under pittsburgh plus" the pub
lie was compelled to pay freight costs
from Pittsburgh on every ton of steel
they purchased, though the steel never
saw Pittsburgh.
The steel trust was the most earnest
defender of this system, and for years
fought to continue this practice. Now
it is found that a discontinuance of
pittsburgh plus" does not affect the
trust, because its mills are located in
various sections of the country. This
gives the trust an advantage over in
dependent mills located in the Youngs-
town, Pittsburgh, and Chicago dis
tricts, and the Independents are dis
cussing consolidation.

REACTIONS ALIBI--
ABUSE OPPONENTS

Lansing, Mich.-"It is familiar
alibi Of those who want to control
government for their own selfish in
terests to open the flood gates of
abuse" said Governor Blaine of Wis
consin in a speech favorable to the
election of Senator La Toilette.
'The practice of calling names is
not unfamiliar to General Dawes" the
Wisconsin executive said General
Dawes came to Wisconsin not long
ago and used the language of the back
alley in abusing Senator La Toilette.
"The so-called radical proposals and
dangerous innovations which are said
to be the main planks in La Follette's
platform when he was governor of
Wisconsin included an advocacy of
the direct primary system, equal and
just taxation of individuals and cor
porations, anti-bribery laws, the merit
system in public service, prohibition
of corrupt practices, ad valorem taxa
tions of public utilities, and adequate
funds for health, labor and agricul-
ture services. Not even the blindest
reactionary would say today that
these things are radical"

OPPOSE COURT RULE

Santa Barbara, Cal-The Morning
Post declares that the state supreme
courts 4-to3 decision against placing
the La Toilette electors on the state
ballot "is contrary to public policy
and is bound to have harmful conse-
quences."
There is already too much distrust
of the courts without adding to it the
feeling in the minds of thousands of
voters that they are being deprived
Of the fundamental right of choosing
their own public servants"
The newspaper declares that every
believer in our institutions will, re-
gardless of their political beliefs,
sincerely regret" the decision.

PROFITS INCREASE
Yet Railroads Report Low.
ering of Wages

New York-With profits reaching
record heights, class l railroads re-
port a lowering of wages for July.
AS compared with July last year, the
wage cut, through a decrease of en-
ployes, totaled $25,279,900. The mum
ber of employees have been lowered
1853, or 9.3 per cent, while wages
decreased $25,279, 900, or 81 per cent.
Reports to the interstate commerce
commission show that for this July
the cost per freight train-mile and
the cost per passenger trainmile
have been lowered
When the railroad brotherhoods
that eliminated in the Adamson law,
they insisted that if freight trains
were speeded up the railroads would
be benefited, as would the public
During the past year railroad manage
ments have been abandoning old prac-
tices, and their profit sheet indicates
that the workers claim is correct.
In many instances these profits are
reaching their highest levels. Net
gains for the Chesapeake & Ohio will
amount to S11, 100000 for the year,
as against last years previous record
Of $8,979,430. 1t is estimated that
profits for the Erie railroad will reach
the S10,00O,OOO mark. Officials of the
Norfolk 4 Western predict a 9 per
cent profit on their common stock.
Similar reports are made by the Penn
sylvania, Baltimore q Ohio, Delaware
& Hudson, Lackawanna, and other
systems.

MANAGERS DISBAND
ANTI-UNION BODY

New York-The Producing Manag-
ers' Association, formed to combat
the Actors Equity Association, will
disband. When the managers organ
lied, they announced their opposition
to the Actors Association, which in
cludes the stars Of the theatrical
world, and is affiliated to the A. F.
Of L.
The actors solidarity resulted in a
break in the managers ranks, and the
element that favored dealing with the
actors organized the Managers Pro-
tective Association.
The ants are gradually getting into
line. With the dissolution of their
organization they will divide fund
of S250,O00 that they contributed to
fight Equity.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1924-10-31

As the attorneys for the defend
ants in the arrest of the two county
commissioners, Kinch and Carr, we
feel it our duty to make this state
ment in the interest of fair play and
common justice.
Before the trial three things were
agreed upon by Mayor Shuler and the
prosecuting attorney and the defend
ants, to-wti:
"a That the trial should be had on
Saturday.
(2) That it should be held in Ham
ilton instead of Sevenmile.
(3) That the prosecuting attorney
would call as witnesses the two de-
tectives and Mr.. Coulter and possibly
some others and defendants should
subpoena other witnesses.
On Saturday morning the two de-
tectives were present at the trial.
The prosecuting attorney placed Mr..
Coulter on the witness stand. Dur
ing a searching cross-examination he
admitted his own guilt. When these
detectives learned Of the searching
cross-examination and the difficulty
in which the witness had placed them
they disappeared. In the afternoon
the prosecuting attorney closed the
states case without calling either Of
the detectives. Thereupon defend
ants counsel proceeded with the tes-
timony and called for the detectives
with a view of placing them on the
witness stand, and they could not be
found. The case was adjourned until
Wednesday morning, October 29.
When the court opened in the morn
ing defendants counsel again called
for the detectives and Mayor Shuler
said to go on with the other testi-
mony. saying the detectives would
probably appear during the day, stat
ing also that they had been subpoen-
aed. Later in the day they were
again called and the mayor stated that
the constable who had to go to Colum-
bus to subpoena them could not find
them. The defendants then called DIR.
Millikin and S. NJ Goodman for ex-
animation, and had under subpoena
and waiting Frank K. Vaughn and
H. l.. Kutter. Carl R. Greer, who had
also been subpoenaed by the court
"a a., - 4 from
Mr.. Goodman that he, F. K. Vaughn,
H. L. Kutter, B. d. Lecklider and
VIM. Howe had raised $1050OO to be
used in the plan of entrapment.
Thereupon the mayor refused to hear
any more witnesses for the defendants
and would not issue any writ to bring
the detectives into court and declared
that he would bind the defendants
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1924-10-31
TO THE PUBLIC

over to the grand jury. Defendants
counsel in the most forcible way pos
sible for them appealed to the court
for an opportunity to bring in the
detectives, and it would appear by
their testimony that a group of men
had employed these detectives and
had brought about this shell of al
legged crime as mere political scan
dal. But in spite of all counsel could
say the court would not allow the de-
PENDANTS their constitutional rights
of having the witnesses called and ex-
amined so as to clear up the whole
situation.
We feel it our duty to make this
statement as otherwise the public
might not be fully informed as to
what did occur at the trial.

MANY TURNS IN LAW

Olympia, wash he crooks and
turns in law were shown in a deci-
sion by the state supreme court that
injured workmen must be paid COM
pensation due them, but the warrants
can not be .cashed by the state treas
urer.
According to the court, warrants is
sued by the state auditor are legal so
far as the auditor is concerned, but
not for the state treasurer.
The injured worker must have the
auditors warrant cashed by a bank
or elsewhere, and the new holder will
wait for his money until further
funds are appropriated by the next
legislature.

MANY WORKERS
KILLED

Albany, N. Y.-There were 1,780
death claims filed with the state
workmen's compensation bureau for
the IL months from October, 1923, to
September, 1924. These claims rep
resent fatalities in industrial acci-
dents.
"The filing of these 1,7sO death
claims" said Industrial Commissioner
Shientag, Indicates the astoundingly
great number of lives lost in the COM
mercial and industrial activities of the
state"
These deaths do not include fatali-
ties in non-commercial industries,
over which the industrial commissions
er has no control

makes move in the direction of per-
