Newa wti put In hl? dUtrlct. ?nd
then he voted for lt.
This statement.' Mr. Jones declares.
Ss absolutely untrue. He had never
Voted for ship subsidy, either before
or after the Newport News shipyards
were put In this district. The onl>
measure which could have aided the
merchant marine, und for which he
voted, was a measure that passed the
tfenate unanimously. It was In a|
eense n ship subsidy measure, and did
not take a dollar out of tho public j
treasury.
''If," anid Mr. Jones. "Senator Martin
means to characterize this measure as;
ship subsidy ho is equally guilty with
me. as was every other Democratic
Senator." ?
The speaker then declared that the
record would establlsn the fact, not?
withstanding Senator Martin's denial,
that he had dodged a vote on the Qal
linger ship subsidy bill, ami that It
was not true thut he. Senator Martin,
had a live pair, as stated in letter.
As to Senator Martin's explanation 1
of his tariff votes, which Mr Jones
had criticized, the speaker charged
that it was no explanation ut all. und
he pointed out from the Congressional
itecord that Senator Martin had not
only dodged more than a hundred
votes, but that he hod voted many
times with AldrlCh. He suited that ho
lud already demonstrated many times
the inaccurate and misleading char- !
acter of the Sims pamphlet, which
Senator Martin is now rohdiag around
asking the people to accept it as an '
explanation of all his votes on tariit
measures.
As to Senator Martin's defense of
?the Union Station bill, Mr. Jones de
-clared it was the weakest and most
'absurd which he had advanced in sup?
port of his record; that Senator Mar?
tin had engineered through (Congress
a bill irlving tw'o rallrui'.ds (3,000,000, I
and only one other Democrat nad voted '
.-for it.
Mr. Jones then took up the Thomp?
son letters and Interpreted their con?
tents, saying that the railroads were
not interested to the extent of spend?
ing thousands of dollars merely to '
ln-tiro a Democratic Legislature. No
Intelligent human being:, he said,
could believe that the Democratic
party at that time was in danger ot"
losing the Legislature, Mr. Jones de?
clared that the money contributed by
the railroads was for the purpose of
preventing the pasj-age of the Kent
bill, and that he had other Informs
tlon not yet submitted to prove his '
contention :f the evidence already sub?
mitted was net sufficient. He said ,
that he had reliable information.
Which he could produce at the proper '?
time, that J. B. Thompson was In |
Richmond during the greater portion
of the months of December and Jan- j
nary. directing railroad Influences,
against the pasage of the Kent bill,
end that Senator Martin was thor
OUghly in touch with the situation at
the lime.
Mr Jones, in a conversation here :
to-day. said that he hoped Senator i
Mar'tn w-ould take the slump as soon I
ns Congress adjourned.

Tr.ere are various reports as to tho

FIGHT IS ABANDONED
Forest Plrea Will Sweep Over Entire
Range.
San Bernardino, Cal., August 1,?On
a sixty-mile aireich of mountain range
two great forest fires raged to-day.
Forest rangers und their helpers have
given up the flKht, and It la believed
that the Are will run riot until the
range la i*ld bare. Such a termination
would result In the destruction of mil
lions of dollars' worth of timber.
L^te to-day the fire wiped out Clif?
ton Heights, u summer resort. The
occupants of the camp narrowly es?
caped death In the flames. The fire
moved in great billows of flame,
sweeping ovor Clifton to Houston
Flats, where there are miles of unpro?

Salisbury, N. C, August 1?The
water situation in Salisbury has be- ;

VAST HOLDINGS
WERE ACQUIRED
Property Valued at $200,000,000 I
Secured by Steel Cor?
poration.
Now York, August I,?That the ore',
and coal holdings acquired by the I
United States Steel Corporation In the j
absorption of the Tennessee Coal and!
Iron Company in 1907, have a valua?
tion of $2??,000,oi.'? was estimated from j
ugures on the mineral holdings ot tho j
Tennessee Company given to-day to
the House of Representatives commit- l
tee on inquiry into the Steed Corpora- 1
tion by expert engineers. I
In acquiring the Tennessee Com
panqy, the United States Steel Corpora- !
tlon exchanged 5 per cent, second bonds
valued at 129,000,000, the transaction i
having been brought about to prevent'
tho collapse of the New York broker- j
uge firm 01 Mooru & Schley because
Of excessive loans with Tennessee Coal
and Iron stack as collutorul.
Since the beginning of the Inquiry ;
Into that deal Representative Stan- j
ley and other members of tho House
committee have sought to develop evl. >
dence tending to prove charges that
the Impending panic and danger to
Moore & Schley was not the prime
niotivo for the merger, but that it
was a desire on the part of the. Steel
Corpoiatloji to acquire the Tennessee
Company and Us vast mineral deposits 1
ot the Birmingham district. In fur- |
therance of that idea, notwithstanding
the determined declarations of witness
after witness who participated In the
exchange that the suggestion of con?
spiracy was preposterous, the commit
tee heard to-duy the. testimony of C.
P. Perln, Wolter Moore und W. M.
(itven expert engineers, who ap?
praised the deposits of tho Birming?
ham rteid in 1904,
These men declared that the oro de?
posits of that region and their prox?
imity to coal deposits estimated at
nearly 2,000,000,000 tons, make that
territory almost unparalleled from an
ore-producing standpoint. Ore royal?
ties of SS cents a ton on more than i
4u0.0o0.000 tons In that region acquired
by tho Steel Corporation from the
Tennessee Company, and coal deposits
aggregating more than l.soo.ooo.ooo
tuns, were given by tho experts ua
a busis upon which members of the
committee compute that these prop?
erties alone are worth $200,000,000.
In corroborating a statement mado
by Engineor Perin, W. M. Given, of Bir?
mingham, pictured the Birmingham ore
field as of Incalculable value, taking
Into consideration all undeveloped re?
sources. Of the nvullnble ore in all
the region the estimated holdings of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
were given as from SO to 70 per cent.
Tho experts agreed that pig iron
could be produced there $4 cheaper
than In the rittsburg district, and
$3 a ton leas than any place In the
world. To-morrow, Grant B. Schley,
of Moore & Schley, Is expected to tes?
tify. J. II. Topping, another member
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron syn?
dicate, also hns been subpoenaed.

Board of Food ancPDrug Inspec?
tion Will Continue to Gather
Information.
Washington. August L?Dr. Harvey W.
Wiley's board of food and drug Inspection
to-day concluded Its hearing on the question
?What Is beer?" and, still ?ometvhat unen
lishtenedi will continue to gather Informa
ton fron? chemists und brewing experts be
toro announcing a declelot?.
Some Idea of tho attitude of the authori?
ties, however, toward the beers now sold
may be derived from * letter written by
Secretary Wlison. of the Department of
Agriculture, produced at to-day's hearing
by John It. Mauff. of Chlcogo. representa?
tive of the National Consumers' League, us
well as of the barley growers of Wisconsin
?nd Minnesota, who Insist upun the super?
iority of their product over corn and othor
grains used. The letter was written Januaiy
21, 1911, to S. D. Kump, of Indianapolis, Ind.,
a baiicy dealer, and Seretary Wilson says:
i have Just been interviewing our chem?
ists and puro food experts along barley
lines, and it Is In their minds and mine to
reach something definite with regard to
what beer is. Wo could require that bear
made from anything else than barley should
have u label showing Its component parts; I
think we cm go that tar. It wu And that
any beers Injurious to the public health uro
being made wo could declare them adulter?
ants and stop the Interstate trade In thtj.i.
It seems to be a subject concerning which
cur people know less than almost anything
e:sc, but I have been urging Inquiry' Into it; 1
am in sympathy with you along this line. In?
vestigation will bring the facts, and we will
have an investigation maac."
Lawrence Maxwell, of Cincinnati, former
United states solicitor-general and now rep?
resentative of thousands of corn growers In
the Midi\' West, protested against tho :
movement to label specifically the beers
mud., from products oilier than bailey, malt
and hops. Asked by A. Slaughter, of the
Wisconsin Slute Board of the American So
elety of Equity, wnether he would object lo
the labeling of all beers, Mr. Maxwell de- .
olared that labels were unnecessary, that
President Taft in his decision on "What is
whiskey?'' bad laid down Ihe rule lhat no
liquor need be labeled as to Iis component
parts. *
"Heer Is beer." said Mr. Maxwell in con
elusion.
Mr. Mauff read from advertisements of
brewers claiming that their beer* were
made of barley, mall anJ hops, when In
reality none of these Ingredients was used. ]
One ad vorilsomciH read: "If you only knew
what wo know about beer, you would drink
no other than our beer."
"Yes." comminlcd Dr. Wiley, "maybe if '?
we knew what they know about beer we :
would not drink any beei at all."
