GARRISON ARRAIGNS TAFT.
Former President Resents Attack as
Unjust and Unmeasured.
Washington.—Secretary Garrison of
the war department issued a forma I
1 statement Monday sharply arraigning |
former President Wtlliam H. Taft for
having lent his name to what arc
termed "statements mendacious in'
character ami mischievous in intern,"
with relation to conditions in tiie
Philippine inlands, under the present
administration. Mr. Garrison charges
shov^ plainly "that the Republican poi
' iticians are attempting to lay the foun
dation for campaign material with re
spect to the Philippine islands."
Former President Taft, in a state
ment made public at New Haven, |
j Conn., characterizes Secretary Garri '
son's arraignment of him for his at
tltude on Philippine affairs as "un
Just, vehement and unmeasured." Mr
Taft says that there has not been the
slightest tinge of partisan feeling in
tiis interest in the Philippine problem.
"it seems to me," he rays, "that
1 have not been unmindful of the ne
cessity for standing by this Demo
cratic administration in a national ,
crisis, without regard to party consul ,
eration."

EXPORT FLOUR AND GRAIN FI
CARS NEEDED FOR OTHER
COMMODITIES.
LL
Western Dealers Ship Goods for E
port Without Engaging Steamships
to Handle Shipments, Caus
ing Congestion at Terminal.
X
Philadelphia. — The
Pennsylvan :
railroad announced Monday that 1
l had placed embargoes on export flou
i and lumber at New York and on a
I export grain at Philadelphia and Ba'
tiinore. No other commodities are al
fected by these embargoes, accordini
to the announcement, which wer
placed to expedite the movement o!
other freight.
Although Pennsylvania railroad offl
cers would not add anything to the
announcement, it was said by .oca
grain dealers that the embargoes wer
necessitated by the scarcity of ship
to carry the products across the At
lantic. Many western dealers, the)
declare, have shipped quantities o:
goods for export without first engag
ing steamships to handle it, causing
congestion at terminal points as wel
as temporarily locking up thousand
of freight cars loaded with expot
goods.
Freight cars loaded with grain fo
export have been pouring into Phila
delphia for weeks, with but few ves
sels to take care of it. As a resu!
the Pennsylvania elevators are fille
to their capacity and it is estimate
that between 35,000 and 40,000 loade
cars are "parked" on sidings and i
the yards of the eastern carriers.

New York.—The commandeering o'

by grain exporters as possibly the firs

over all Canadian grain, but go smash
ocean freight rates by requisitioning
the Atlantic freighters. Exporters rc
