WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, April
It is not generally known, but it
is a fact, none the less, that when
the Spaniards laid to ambush the
Rough liiders atGausiuias in Cuba
the whole plot was spoiled because
one man was too eager, and shot at
the head of the column before it
got well into the lino of fire.
There is a remarkable similarity
about the things that have happen
ed in the political world this week.
Whether the Harriman letter with
the attendant discussion was re
sponsible for springing the mine
too soon, it is impossible to say. If
that discussion had not arisen,
political enemies of the Adminis
tration might not have gotten gay
and talked so much. But the fact
remains that some one leaked, and
about the prettiest plot on record
i:i American politics has been
spoiled.
The attitude of the Harriman
interests before the Interstate Com
merce Commission this week has
been that of men deeply wronged
in an effort to do what was right.
Arguments are being heard by the
commission from the counsel for
the railroads and the special attor
neys for the commission to decide
what course should be taken in re
gard to the questions that Mr.
Harriman refused to answer at the
recent New York hearing, and
what >ort of a report should be
made to the Attorney General on
which he might base a prosecution
if lie saw lit under the Sherman
Anti-Trust Law.
The most remarkable argument
by any of the railroad attorneys
\va- that of John (i. Milburn, who
stated to the Commission in the
most serious fashion, that there
was no ground for proceeding
ngainst Mr. Harriman under the
Sherman Anti-Trust Law. He
said that the anti-trust law was
aimed only at a combination of
railroads or other corporations who
entered into an agreement to lix
rates and prices, but that in the
case ol the Southern Pacific and
I nioi. Pacific Railroads, Mr. Har
lituan had bought them both and
that even if lie bought them with
tlie announced intention of stifling
competition and restraining trade,
the law could do nothing with him
because lie could do with them as
he wished. Mr. Milburn said
that any attempt on the part of the
government to regulate the roads
under such circumstances would
be interfering with private proper
ty, and could not lie justified for a
moment.
Attorney Severance for the Com
mission replied that this was an
entirely fallacious view of the mat
ter, and read a number of decis
ions. including that of the United
States Supreme Court in the North
ern Securities case which fully
covered the railroad contention and
showed that the Sherman law was
designed to prevent combinations
in restraint of trade whether the
stock of the combined companies
wias owned by one man absolutely
or held by a trust.
The first general transfer and
promotion in the consular service
as the result of the new rules gov
erning that branch of the govern
ment has been announced. There
are almost 2<»o cases, most of them
not important, but others decided
ly so. Most of them affect men
A\IIO have been in the service a long
time and have earned recognition
by their work, it is the beginning
of a new regime in the service, and
will tend to make it more of a life
career and less of a political grab
PERSONSHIGHER UP"
Who Shared State Capitol Loot
Being Trailed by Investi
gation Commission.
'ENNYPACKER WILL TESTIFY
p ormer Governor, It Is Believed,
Could Point Out Those Who De
ceived Him and Used Him as Their
Tool in Robbing State.
Harrisburg, Pa.—The legislative
commission investigating the capitol
building Is after the tncu "higher up."
Recently the commission has come
Into possession of information which
leads the members to believe that the
architect and one Or two contractors
lire not. the only ones who profited by
Ihe outrageous overcharges for fur
nishing and finishing the now slate
building.
It would not be wise to suggest who
these "higher up" men are but it
Is not probable that two or three
men who have hover been known to
control anything politically would be
allowed to walk away with several
millons of dollars' worth' of loot with
out at least a protest from those who
do things politically. There is a
gang of Philadelphia politicians who
will certainly suffer seme of the con
sequences of the inquiry.
Those who are immediately respon
sible for"the monument of graft"
are already beginning to "peach" on
one another. They are charging one
another with the blame, and soon the
people will know the whole truth. No
one has ever intimated that former
Governor Samuel \V. Pennypacker
was guilty of wrong doing, but it is
believed that people who professed to
be his friends took advantage of his
confidence in their honesty to feather
their nests Now the former governor
would like togo on the stand and tell
what he knows about the capitol
building. He has written the com
mission that he would like to testify
and is ready to do so when the com
mission asks him. He will be called
to the witness stand soon.
Somebody Used the Governor.
Mr. Pennypacker's resolution, or
the one to which his name is attached
and which provided for the letting of
the contract for furnishing the cap
itol as a whole, is the measure which
permitted the wild waste of money
and allowed tho John H. Sanderson
Co. of Philadelphia to get away with
the contract for furnishing the capitol
building without competition in the
bidding. Mr. Pennypacker would like
to tell how it happened that that
resolution was presented.
Heretofore the former governor al
ways hns declared that the capitol is
worth the money, that it was honest
ly built, and that Ihe people would
not complain at any extravagance If
they would see the building for them
selves It is believed that he has
since changed his mind.
When former Governor Pennypack
er discovers that there was a deep
laid conspiracy, that plans were made
for stealing milions of dollars from
the state months before bids were
even advertised for; when he learns
that he was made the "goat" and that
his own alleged friends used him to
corruptly further their own financial
ends, then he will wake up, and it is
expected that he will tell a lot of
things to the edification of the peo
ple of this great slate.
One Good Case Established.
The lawyers for the commission
have started out to uncover the con
spiracy and they have laid a most ex
cellent foundation. Just what will
happen ton man who sells the state a
species of black slate for marble at
the rate of $4.74 a foot when it would
be dear at 50 cents a foot, you can
determine pretty well yourself. And
then this black slate was not even
polished as required by the specifica
tions. but was lacquered.
If a store would sell you at a fancy
figure "baccarat" cut glass, or rather
charge you "■baccarat" cut glass prices
for an article made in Pennsylvania,
and at the same time insist that it.
was the imported article, you would
have pretty good ground for having
him arrested for receiving money un
der false pretense and recovering the
amount of the overcharge, would you
not?
And then if it could be shown that
the filing cases for which the state
paid $2,000,000 were sold by the "per
foot" measurement and that a lot of
air space was measured in with the
cases, don't you think you could re
cover the price you paid for the air
at least? Well, that is what the in
vestigating commission Is sotting out
to do. The commission has found
other things since it began operations,
and the work is becoming so vast that
the commission has notified the legis
lature that It is impossible to tell at
present when its work will be finished.
Tlie capitol overcharges by Sanderson
alone gave Architect Joseph M. Hus
ton an unearned fee of $07,507. He
may have to reimburse the state to
this amount. He also has a claim for
$104,000 against the state, but it is
needless to say this never will be
paid.
The wrangle that ensued in the
house over Hie resolution to adjourn
finall> on May 1G Is not yet at an
end although the resolution was
adopted. Tho senate has passed u
resolution calling for final adjourn
ment May 2. I; v.ill be necessary in

upon this action may be upset before
adjournment day arrives.
The Uncommon Excellence of the
Jamestown Exposition.
(By Oeo. P. Viett.)
No exposition has ever had so large,
varied and able exploitation as the
Jamestown Exposition. The matter
that has been sent out by the Press and
Publicity Bureau of this enterprise has
not alone served the purpose of ex
ploition but has been made the subject
of editorial notice in some of our best
newspapers. A few of these have crit
icised it adversely, claiming exagger
ation but regardless attitude, the fact
that this exposition literature has at
tracted attention of this kind from the
best newspapers is something unpre
cendented. If some of those who
claimed exaggeration could visit the
site of the Jamestown Exposition at
this time—even in its still incomplete
condition—they would readily agree
that a degree of enthusiasm is permiss
ible in the premises, and that so far
from being exaggerated in the matter
of exploitation, the haif has not really
been told. ,
The claim has been made that this
will be the greatest exposition yet
held; not the greatest industrially, fin
ancially, commercially or artistically,
but simply as a whole the greatest ex
position. Whether it be Paris, Chi
cago, St. Louis or Buffalo the
visitor to Jamestown may have in
mind, he hill lind here features of sur
passing and altogether novel interest
He will find novelty, originality and a
striking contrast to all his exposition
experience.
He knows that the inspiration of the
enterprise in the most romantic and
eventful chapters of the nation's history
He will find a location unsurpassed
and certainly never equalled in exposi
tion history.
lie will find an environment of the
most historical of any section of the
United States, one wherein the patriot
may find inspiration and the poet a
theme.
Ho will find a score of nearby points
of natural beauty and historic interest,
sufficient of themselves to make the
trip worth while. In the great inter
national naval and military displays
he will be offered a splendid pageant
never before equalled in this country.
If genuine amusement and health
giving recreation be an item desirable
in the sum of his expectations he could
find no better spot than the shores and
waters of the nation's finest harbor.
Last, but not least, he will find a city
beautiful, full to overflowing with the
wonders of industry, of handicraft, of
art, of science, a city of fairy palaces,
glistering under the light of a Virgin
ian summer sky, and rearing aloft the
symbols and thetokens of the founding
of the nation and over all the senti
ment of the patriotism and the brother
hood of a people first in peace, first in
war, and first in every good thing
under the sun.
