Opposition B?sed Upon Daniels De

WASHIXOTOX, April L "An
outrage" wni Senator Kenyon's
characterization today of Wlutlirop
Daniels' forced coiifirmutioit nu n
member of the interstate commerce
commission. "Hut it nceomplishcd
one good thing," he said. "Seeret
sessions in the sennte have received
their denth blow. Never again will
appointments he made without full
knowledge by everyone conecnied
that what is said on the floor will
go out to the whole country.
"As far n- I am personally con
cerned," said Senator Cummins, "I
intend the country to know what the
views of nominees nre, what the sen
ators said mid why they approved
the selection of this particular inter
state commerce commiss!nner."
I. Fotlette m I loiter
"Hereafter," paid Senntor La Kul
lctte, "1 propose to disouss in the
open senate, from the stump,
through the press or in any other
way (Tint seems proiicr, this or any
other matter of public interest
brought up in executive session in
tho senate."
Daniels' confirmation as nu inter
state commerce eommi-sioner was
opposed on the grounds Hint his de
cisions n a member of the New Jer
sey public service commission to
which President Wilson appointed
him during his tenn as governor of
New Jersey indicated that Daniels
believed eonrntions were entitled
to dividends us "going concerns" in
addition to the dividends based on
their actual physical valuations
His opponents in the sennte fought
him for three days. Much of the de
bate was very hitter. Finally Sen
ators Kenyon, La Kollctte, Jones,
Groniia, Poindexter, Clapp, llristow,
Cummins and llorah announced that,
inasmuch as tho confirmation evi
dently was going through, they would
not bo bound by the oath of secrecy
imposed in connection with executive
senate sessions, but meant to tell the
country all that had been said in the
course ot tlio Daniels controversy,
that the people might know how they
stood and why they objected to the
appointment.

ULTIMATUM ON

Ho Improvement for Disputed Par
lions Rinhts of Way Must le
Provided or Money Will le Used
in Other Portions of County.
Billings' Exorbitant Claims fer Dam
ages Leaves That Stretch of Pa
cific Highway Untouched.
As n resuit of threatened injunc
tion proceedings, damage suits mid
perH;tual controversy over tho Pa
cific highway right of way either side
of Ashland, the county court Satur
day unanimously decided not to im
prove thc-c stretches of rond. but to
stop the grading nnd pavement be
fore the disputed sections arc reach
ed nnd, unless the city of Ashland
straightens out the matter, use tho
money in the other parts of tho
county, there not being sufficient
funds to waste in condemnation suits
or legal controversy. Tho snmc rule
will probably bo adopted for any
stretch of rond in dispute.
"We have no mouey to spend
fighting for what should be donated.
WV: cannot afford to expend funds
forcing improvements upon people
that benefit them and enhance tho
value of thoir property. The state
highway engineer select tho Pacific '
highway route, subject to the ap
proval of the county court. If the
approved route means n law suit or
n hold-up, we simply will use this
money on the other portions of the
rond," is the court's statement.
This decision followed the protest
of a delegation of Ashland people
over the proposed rond through tho
Hillings properly, eliminating the
railroad grade crossing and tho
steep hill this side of Ashland, which
has been viewed aud approved hy the
court.
Mr. Hillings stated that he would
demand four bonds of the county
court ns follews: To prevent damage
from tho retaining wall; to insure
ii continued flow of water from his
spring; to prevent dnmago from
flood water and siphon it tiway; to
provide a way for him to get out
with his hay and for his son to get
in nnd out of the Myers tract. Then
if these four bonds wero satisfactor
ily provided, aud $4000 in gold laid
ou tho table, he would still refuse it.
As a result tho improvement of
the highway will stop at Hear creek,
north of the Hillings' place.
