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 consequence to nppoint a committee on conference in each house. It is thoucrht"that the date to be agreed CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL u, 1907. jpon will be May IG, "but this is not certain. There was strong opposition to the adjournment resolution, and even though this date is finally agreed 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.
