advantage of all available preliminary
legal devices.
The indictment, returned last
Spring, charges that he accepted
Sl,750 from the Cuban American
Manganese Corp for services before
the War Department and the Senate

Revelations concerning his alleged
employment by the manganese firm
were made at that time.
Efforts of his attorneys, William E
Leahy and William J. Hughes, jr., to
have his indictment quashed, have
been based on the contention that
McMullen acquired immunity from

House group.

maintained, however, that the in
formation on which his indictment
was returned was in its hands before
the officer was called to the Capitol.

RIVERS CONGRESS
TO PASS ON Jobs.
Committee Will Recommend
Projects TotaIing $780,
100000.

Projects totaling $500 100000 for
flood control in the recently devastated
areas of the East will be recommended
to the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress by the Projects Committee,
Representative Driver Of Arkansas,
chairman, said yesterday.
Concluding two days of open hear
ings on applications for projects vary
ing from a yacht harbor in California
to an inland canal from the st. Law
renee River to Lake Champlain, the
committee went into executive session
to prepare its report for the congress-
which holds its annual meeting in the
Mayfower Hotel tomorrow and Tues
day.
Delegates from every State and from
Hawaii and Puerto Rico will gather
to hear Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace and engineering experts discuss
flood control and water conservation,
and to hear a message from President
Roosevelt.
Sapp Heads d. C. Delegation.
The District delegation, headed by
E. w. Sapp, vice chairman of the Port
Development and Rivers and Harbors
Committees of the Board of Trade,
has presented no new projects for con-
sideration at the convention, but will
participate In the discussions. Several
projects approved at last years con-
gress are awaiting appropriations.
The Florida ship canal and the
Passamaquoddy project, for both of
which Congress refused to make ap-
preparations after they had been
the Projects Committee, but Chair
man Driver refused to forecast what
action will be taken.
There is a difference of opinion on
those two projects that will have to be
threshed out before the committee
makes its report Tuesday afternoon" i"
he said. Whether Congress will recon-
slider its action in refusing funds is as
much of a question as whether this
committee will approve them.
Hopes for Immediate Action.
"At present, there are projects to-
falling some $4,000, 100000 before the
Projects Committee, which Sits the
applications for the congress. I esti-
mate those dealing with flood control
in the areas recently affected will
amount to about $500, ,00o,0 900, and will
ask for immediate approval at the
congress session Tuesday. I hope
the major portion of them. at least,
will receive approval. and that funds
will be made available by Congress
at this session"

In speech that he made at dinner

try, he said that the man that remained in
silence, before the distress of his country,
should not be worth while living, and the
man that imnigrates to other countries in
which he makes his living and progress,
and do not do something for that country,
should be despised by the citizens of that
country, and | say that from coward
man nothing has been written as yet.

with the exception of those that l have
already mentioned and Mr.. Chabert, that
explain the reason why he did not attend

Because they are afraid of the steamship
Companies, or they do not like to have any
dealing with me, or they are partners of
the Steamship Companies.
L say so because there are some rumors
that Mr.. Schonn and Captain Moller went
around to the merchants and made an offer
OF l5O shares to each one of the merchants,
so that they remain quiet, and it seems to
me that this is true, because with all that
have written in the papers think that a
dead man would come out Therefore it is
no use to continue attacking the merchants
and forcing them to come out and say any
thing, or express themselves for the welfare
OF the poor people You can be sure that
this will be my last attack and | alone with
out any help or support will continue to
light the steamship companies.
Beginning by the Bull Line she does not
treat the merchants of this Island in fair
way. The Bull Line came to st. Croix,
and went all around visiting the merchants
and asked them for their support, and that
why she dropped the rate on freight, to get
the trade. After the merchants with good
faith believing that the Bull Line would
treat them honestly and punctually they
gave her the most of their cargo that enters
the Islands. Now after she has the 1879
of the cargo of Christiansted and 500 of
the cargo of Frederiksted, she jumps end
joins with the others to raise the rate of
freights. My dear merchants, do you think
that this is fair. Do you remember that
before the war two steamship lines were
coming to St. CrOix and that the rates in
those days was 18cts cubic foot. One
of the companies came around to the mer-
chants and got them to sign contract for
l year with the promise to reduce the rate
to 16cts cubic foot After that happened
the other Company had to quit and as soon
as the other Company quit, this Company
that offer 16cts. a eubis foot, raised the
rates Of freight, and now the History of
shis Island is repeated with the Bull Line,
who is doing the same thing My dear
merchants although | ana attacking you
today, | also consider myself merchant
just like you, and though you refused to
support me in this matter [ am ready to
support any of you that should take the
leadership in this matter. beg mot to
signs papers or contracts with any CT
the Steamship Companies, neither to make
promises with any of them by giving them
cargo, and ship your orders by the first
opportunity with any steamship company.
In that way the steamship Compa les
might respect us a little more. | would
stop here until the next attack which
would be direct to the Steamship Com
