TUFT FOR SYSTEM
HARBOR
IK
President in Accord With River
and Harbor Congress on
General Policy.
MO PIECEMEAL DRIBBLING
Warning Given Committees That If
More Care Not Taken Next Bill
Will Be Vetoed Engineers to
Select Worthy Projects.
WASHINGTON, July 6. (Special.) The
Kational Rivers and Harbors Congress
never had stronger indorsement In its
campaign for a comprehensive waterway
policy. In its opposition to piece-meal
appropriations for the improvement of
the rivers and harbors of the United
States, than was given it indirectly by
President Taft in his reasons for attach
ing his signature to the river and harbor
appropriation bill.
The President, in his special message
to Congress, did not mince his words,
when he served notice on the Senate
and House committees that a veto faces
the next waterway bill unless more care
Is taken in the selection of projects for
development and disposition shown to
complete projects as quickly as is con
sistent with good business judgment
Speaking of the rivers and harbors bill,
Representative Alexander, chairman of
the rivers and harbors committee, when
asked if it was seriously in danger of a
veto, said:
Dribbling System to Be Stopped.
"1 did not hear the slightest rumor of
a veto until Thursday. We knew the
President wag studying the bill like a
great lawyer, and for two hours on Fri
day afternoon Senator Nelson and myself
went over It with him, answering every
objection which had been raised against
it. He quickly yielded on everything ex
cept the so-called 'dribbling or piece
meal' policy which we had inherited from
former bills. We showed him that 60 of
the Items in the act of 1899 made in
Bufllcient appropriations to complete: that
the act of 1S02 contained 64 per cent; that
the act of 19U5 contained 37 per cent; that
the act of WOT carrying js6.000.000 con
tained 44 per cent and that, had we in
creased the bill of 1910 to $S6,000,000. the
showing would have been much better
than the act of 1907. We declined to do
that, however, because a bill aggregating
IS6.0O0.O0O would have destroyed our
chance for establishing annual bills,
which, after our long experience, we
knew was the only way to reform the
existing 'dribbling system.
Taft and Committees Agree.
"That the President was satisfied that
we were working along lines which he
desired is manifest by his approval of
tiie bill. His message makes clear that
lie wants to cut loose from the old
method, a reform in which Senator Nelson
and myself are in hearty accord.
"It has been apparent to me for sev
eral years that only -moderate annual
bills could bring about such a reform,
and the act of 1910 opens the way for
such bills, which will fix a time limit
on all improvements; begin the work of
abandoning unworthy projects, long ago
or never approved by the engineers: re
quire that estimates of engineers shall be
accurate Instead of guess work, and
leave largely to the engineers the selec
tion of the projects for improvement.
Let Engineers Seleet.
"The President's objection to the old
method of making river and harbor bills
simply goes to the selection of projects.
After the Board of Engineers has ap
proved projects, some important, others
indifferent, Congressmen have heretofore
made the selections. The President wants
competent engineer to indicate by rec
ommended appropriations what projects
shall be taken up and when they shall
be completed. If no appropriation Is
recommended, the project, even if pre
viously approved by the Board of Engi
neers, has no standing for that bill. Thus
toy the recommendation of appropriations
the Board of Engineers can guide Con
gress in the formulation of annual bills
which will satisfy the country and the
great majority of Congress.
"There is no reform in a bill which
simply completes improvements. A meas
ure of J90.000.000 or 90.000.000 which com
pletes most of the new projects adopted
in the bill may be a retrograde move
ment, since It may complete unimportant
as well as desirable Improvements. What
is needed is a preference of projects and
their systematic completion within a
reasonable fixed period. An annual bill
makes such a reform possible."
BALLINGER CAN'T HOLD UP
.. (Continued From Firt Page.')
A. W. Lafferty last night. "I am at a
loss to understand why or through what
manner of reasoning any such decision
ever was banded down. In the first
place no question arose as to the validity
of the claims within the time limit, up
held in the decision quoted in the Grand
Rapids cases. The only point then in
volved was as to the work done on the
claims. .The Government asserts that a
sufficient amount of work was not dona
to establish the sincerity of the settlers.
That would be impossible in the specific
eases. The timber is very heavy and
though they reclassed as homesteads
they are nothing less than timber claims.
"Take old man Holverson for instance.
He is an old eoldier and has no means
of livelihood excepting his pension. He
went out and stayed the full time on his
claim and is now deprived of his patent.
It is worth $10,000. In the case of the
Grand Rapids Timber Company all of
their claims were originally taken by
speculators, who commuted Instead of
staying the full time. And yet their
claims are upheld. There is the rank
injustice of our laws."
erning parties Is larger than the par
ticular bill. We hold that the right of
popular self-government is incomplete
unless it Includes the right of the vot
ers not merely to choose between can
didates when they have been nominated,
but also the right to determine who
these candidates shall be. TTnder our
system of party government, there
fore, the voters should be guaranteed
the right to determine within the ranks
of their respective organizations who
the candidates of the parties will be,
no less than the right to choose be
tween the candidates when the candi
dates are presented to them.
"There is no desire to break down
the responsibility of party organiza
tion under duly constituted party lead
ership, but there is a desire to make
this responsibility real and to give the
members of the party the right to say
whom they desire to execute this lead
ership. In New York State no small
part of the strength of the movement
has come from the.popular conviction
that many of the men most prominent in
party leadership tend at times to for
get that In a democracy this function
of political leader must be normally to
lead, not drive.
Leaders Reminded of Duty.
"V"e, the men who compose the great
bulk of the community, wish to govern
ourselves. We welcome leadership, but
we wish our leaders to understand that
t.ey derive their strength from us and
that, although we look to them for
guidance, we expect this guidance to
be in accordance with our interests
and our ideals. '
"I believe that the people of New
Tork State will in the end insist on
taking a more direct part in the nom
ination of candidates because I believe
they will grow more and more to In
sist on just the kind of guidance and
leadership that I have mentioned."
BONDS GONE, IS REPORT
GRAND JURY SEEKS WHERE
ABOUTS OF $4 00,000 BLOCK.
Officials of Carnegie Trust Com
pany, Which Held Security, Xot
Held to Be Culpable.
NEW TORK. July 6. Following a
conference or District' Attorney Whit
man and ex-Justtce Kenner, counsel
for the Carnegie Trust Company, it was
reported, today that the grand jury
waa investigating the alleged disap
pearance of $400,000 worth of bonds
deposited with the company as security
for a loan.
While District Attorney Whitman ad
mitted that an investigation was in
progress, Moses H. Grossman, counsel
for the Carnegie Company, said that
the story was untrue. Mr. Grossman
said :
"The bonds are here, and all the col
lateral, and when the loan we made
is paid we will turn them over."
District Attorney Whitman said to
night: "There is no evidence in the pos
session of this office which reflects
in any way on the financial responsibil
ity or management of the Carnegie
Trust Company, or upon any of its offi
cers or the body of directors."
TAFT'S MAIL IS SHUT OFF
President Takes First Day or Real
Vacation. " -
BEVERLY, July 6. President Taft,
spending the first day of his "real"
vacation, got lonely down at Burgess
Point about here this afternoon and
telephoned into the Executive Offices
to find out why there had been no mes
senger at the cottage bearing the of
ficial mail.
"Sorry, Mr. President," said Rudolph
Korster, assistant secretary, who an
swered the telephone, "but you are not
to have any mail for a few days."
If the President does not enjoy a
sure enough freedom from official wor
ries for the next few days it will not
be the fault of the Executive staff.
Secretary MacVeagh, on his way to

bors had a sail on the Sylph this evening.

of the Republican members of each
House supported the bill, whereas
three-fourths or over of the Democrats
opposed it. This is one of the cases
where it Is easier to apportion individ
ual than party responsibility.
"Those who believe that by their ac
tion they have definitely checked the
movement for direct popular primaries
are. In my Judgment, mistaken. In its
essence this is a movement to make the
Government more democratic, more re
sponsive to the needs and wishes of
the people as a whole. With our politi

WASHINGTON, July 6., The grain
crops in Montana and the Western por

dried up and shrivelling in the fields,
according to a statement issued by the
Reclamation Service today.'
Continuous hot winds with the mer
cury near the lt)0 mark are proving ex
tremely disastrous, it is said. By way
of a contrast, the statement added that
the engineers in charge of the Reclama

upon the irrigated lands were receiving
a plentiful supply of water and their
crops were in excellent shape.

WHITE FLOUR TABOO
Government Wins in Prosecu
tiorf of Millers.
PURE-FOOD LAW UPHELD
Jury Returns Verdict -That Bleaching
Process Is Adulteration Com
pany Guilty of Misbrand
ing Product. -
KANSAS CITY. July 6. "We, the
jury,. And that the flour seized was
adulterated."
"We, the jury, find that the flour
seized was misbranded."
These two verdicts were returned to
the Federal Court here today by the
jury that for more than five weeks has,
listened to arguments for and against
the charge by the Government that the
625 sacks of flour, bleached and sold
by the Lexington Mill & Elevator Com
pany of Lexington, Neb., and seized
by te Government while in the pos
session of the purchaser, a grocer at
Sable. Mo., were adulterated and mis
branded. The verdict, returned after seven
hours of deliberation, was a complete
victory for the Government, which
prosecuted the suit under the National
pure food and drugs act.
The Government charged that the
flour was adulterated in that it was
bleached by the Alsop process, which
makes use of nitrogen peroxide in
bleaching flour. Misbranding waa
charged in that the flour seized was
labeled fancy patent, which the Gov
ernment contended It was not, because
it was not made from a first grade
hard Winter wheat.
Miller's Counsel Disappointed.
Bruce Elliott, chief counsel for the
millers, made the following statement
after the Jury had reported:
"This case was not one that should
have Jeen tried by a jury. I called
personally upon President Taft and as
sured him all the millers desired was
a fair test case.
"The President assured me the mill
ers would not be harried and that a
fair test should be had. Immediately
thereafter, under instructions of the
Attorney-General, the seizures Jtegan
in different parts of the country. We
started out to defend the cases on the
assumption that the Government would
permit them to be tried, before a ref
eree. "President Roosevelt appointed a
tioard of scientific men for just such
purpose and the board has settled many
cases that came up under the pure food
law, such, for instance, as the benzoate
of soda case.. But when this case came
to trial the Attorney-General refused
to let this board act and Insisted on
a Jury trial."
New Trial Is Demanded.
Attorneys for the millers will file a
motion for a new trial within 20 days.
Arguments will be heard by Judge
McPherson about September 1. Millers
say that the bleached flour decision
will handicap the farmers of the South
west to the extent of $15,000,000 to
$18,000,000 a year. They say the old
differential of 5 cents a bushel in
vogue in Chicago and St. Louis mar
kets, will soon reappear.
The millers say that farmers of Mis
souri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska
will lose 5 cents a bushel on their
present crop and that the hard Winter
wheat soon will be selling at 25 cents
a bushel less than at present. Already
millers are considering the establish
ment of bleaching stations in states
where the use of bleached flour Is not
prohibited. Thus they say they may
avoid the interstate commerce law.
bribery scandal arose today when
State's Attorney Wayman announced
that an indictment had been voted
charging John A. Maloy, a grocer,
with attempting to corrupt Oscar T.
Morford, a juror in the recent trial of
Lee O'Nell . Browne.
Morford, his wife and his father tnrough
Morford, testified before the grand jury.
Mrs. Morford testitied that shortly after
the Browne jury had been sworn, she
went to Maloy's grocery, which is in the
neighborhood in which the Morfortia lived.
Maloy, she said, gave her two cigars
which he asked her to give to her hus
band, who had been accepted on the Jury..
According to State's Attorney Wayman,
Mrs. Morford testified that Maloy asked
her to use her influence to persuade her
husband to vote for the acquittal of
Browne, holding out as a reward for so
voting that Morford "would not have to
work for a railroad no more," .as he
"would get a lump of money."
Morford Is a switchman and his father
a railroad gateman. He voted consist
ently for the conviction of the defendant.
Though Morford is said to have testified
that the grower made a similar proposal
to him. urging him to influence the juror
to hold out for Browne, the offer was not
communicated to the juror and he heard
of it first after the jury had been dis
charged. Maloy, when seen, denied that he had
sought to influence Morford.
"Morford has been on my books for
years," said the grocer. "He's on them
now. I got film a job when he was down
and out and this is what I get for it
It's all a lie."
