Raps “Pork” Charges, “So far as the charges go that the present River and Harbor bill con- tains an unlimited amount of ‘pork,” I am happy to state that in so far as the engineer corps is concerned, there has been no recommendation made that has not been the subject of close and painstaking study. The act of 1902 provides that after con- gress 'has ordered a survey of a pro- Jject, the local or district engineer reports upon the. advisability, ade- quacy, cost and commercial import- ance of the improvements. This re- port is, in turn, referred to the divi- sion engineer who approves or mod- ifies it as the facts appear before him. From the division engineer the re- 'pore goes o -the béurd’ of engiteers for rivers and harbors, who examine it with scrupulous care, giving their approval if the project be meritori- ous, and -finally it reaches the chief of engineers to be examined by him with just as much discrimination as was shown the project by those be- low. At each stage of the proceed- ing local..interests may be heard, for or against the contemplated im- provement, and themn, after it re- celves the stamp of approval of the chief of engineers, 'it: is transmitted to the secretary of war, who, in turnm, sends it to congress for legislation on the’ subject. £ “Is it not fair to assume, in view of the careful investigation that is given every individual project by the corps of engineers éngaged in river and harbor work, that anything that looks like ‘pork’ will be discovered by this body of trained engineers, and will be reported upon adversely? It is ridiculous to believe otherwise, for the entire corps is jéalous to a de- gree of its good name and fits reputa- tion for clean methods as the ser- vants of the people. Oriticism Most Unwarranted. “The criticism that is being made against certain appropriations for creeks, as carried in the river and harbor bill, is also most unwar- ranted. What would an appropria- tion of $5,000 accomplish for the mouth of the Mississippi or the Am- brose channel? = You might just as went shovel that many dollars into the sea as to expect it to make an impression upon either of these two big projects. But $5,000 spent on a creek may be the aifference befween increased freight movement, or the absolute abandonment of the stream as a means of transportatton. There are numberless creeks in the United States—the word ‘creek’ being but a local designation for a stream—whose tonnage rival mighty rivers, and a few thousand dollars spent upon them means the development of sections that otherwise would remain virgin soil. It means increased crops, in- creased markets, and Increased pros- perity. “My judgment is that there is less than one-half of one per cent. ‘pork’ in the river and harpor bill now pending in the senate.” AVOID IMPURE MILIK tor Infants ana Invalids HORLICK’S Jt means the Original and Genuine | Take no MALTED MILK "Olbfsoss v« Smitalions” * ' 'The Food-Drink for all Ages i _mflk.mnlt@ptin,inmdfflf:m. children.

Hartford, July 15.—*“I am a prob- akle, though not definitely certain candidate for the nomination, for gov- ernor on the democratic ticket,” an- ncunced Professor Willard C. Fisher, of Middletown, in beginning a twenty- minute speech to the men at Colt's factory yesterday. After which Pro- fesgor Fisher proceeded to emphasize the point that his political fortunes must rest with the rank and file. He said in part: “This state ought to adopt rigid business methods of public finances. The financial condi- ticns of the state are bad. As late as 1907 the state had no net debt, but a cash surplus of more than a quarter million ($265,470). Six years later, al the close of the last complete fiscal year, the net debt was $6,748,668, and moere than $7,000,000 of bonds were out. This is not right; and it can be changed without impairing the public services. The checking of over-lavish outlay in some of the departments and the correction of some obvious irjustices in taxation would restore the proper balance of the funds, “I believe in public control of poli- tics, We have to have leaders, but not bosses, and I stand for direct pri- maries and nominations by petition,” “The personal tax must be abol- ished. It works a direct hardship upon men like you, and is very ex- pensive of collection. Where the or- dinary tax costs about 1 per cent to collect, the personal tax costs more than 10 per cent. And if a man does not pay the personal tax he goes to jail, and what justice is there in such a law when no one goes to jail for not paying property taxes and income taxes?” HOLDS HEARING ON HIS OWN ACCIDENT Secretary Phillips Finds That Under The Law No One Else Could Hear Auto Accident Casge. Hartford, Conn.,, July 15.—Secre- tary Albert Phillips yesterday held a hearing on the collision which oc- curred between his own car, driven by Joseph Tedesco, and a motor cycle ridden by Philip Carlson on June 17. A number of witnesses testified, in- cluding Tedesco, who said that at the time of the accident, the Phillips car was running slowly while the motor came zigzagging down the road at a lively pace. Secretary Phillips said that he had hoped to have someone else hear this case, but found under the law no one else could do so. He in- tended, however, to have the attorney general review the evidence. Jacob Klein of Bridgeport, counsel for the accused, objected to the case being heard and asked that it be dis- missed. He contended that as the secretary was an interested party he could not sit on the case and that as there was no one else under the law to hear the case, it should be dis- missed. His motion was overruled. The case was finally continued until next ‘Tuesday morning. SEC, WOOD KED. London, July 15.—Two . militant suffragettes today made a violent at- tack on the Right Hon.
