REPLYING TO GOV, SLATON
Opposes Extension of ‘Freight Carry-|
ing’ by Government Because He
Fears Federal Ownership of Rail
roads and Rise of Mail Order Houses.
Thomas W. Hardwick gave out a reply Saturday night to
Governor Slaton's eard of last Sunday, in which the Congressman
defends and explains his position on the eurrency law, fhe pur('r‘ll
post and the State equalization law. '
Mr. Hardwick says frankly that he opposes any further ox-]
tension of the parcel post, but states that he would not, if (‘li*r'tmll
Senator, move the repeal of the present law.
His card follows:
In his card of last Sunday Mr, Sla
ton made a touching, though unnec
essary, defenge of working people,
guch ag clerkd from my savage ag
gaults. Thisg appeals to my sense of
humor. 1 have not had a very easy
time In life, and | expect | have far
more sympathy for the working peo
ple of Georgla, and am in miuch closer
touch with them, than Mr. Slaton
over has been or ever can be. The
“hirelings” to whom [ refeired were
the political henchimen of Mr. Slaton,
who seem to have been employed to
make silly attacks on me, for which
their employer escapes responsibility.
Mr. Slaton’s deep solicitude in be
half of the party, the State and the
country over my ahsence from Wash
fngton just at this juncture is equally
touching and almost equally disin
terested. No doubt, he prefers that I
ghould be in Washington, or almost
gnywhere else except in Georgla, just
now. Let me reagsure him on one
point: I am neglecting no duty 1 owe
at Waghington in order to prosecute
this campalgn. In the early stages
of the campaign, while the House was
iti gensra! debate, under an order
fixing a day certain for voting on the
anti-trust bills, 1 came to Georgia
and began the active and regular
prosecution of my canvass, When the
time fixed for voting on these hills
arrived, 1 suspended my canviass, re
turned to Washington and helped pass
the bills.
“Mouse Marking Time."
Now, while the House is marking
time, awalting Senate action on these
Lills, which constitute the last part
of the legislative program of Ithe
party for the present session, 1 am
shere in Georgia, meeting and apeak-~
fng to the Democrats of Georgla.
Whenever my party or my constitu
ency needs my services in Washing
ton, whether in the House orv in com
mittee, I will be there.
In this connection let me inguire of
Mr, Alaton how the State of Georgia.
with its Legislature in seBsion, man
aged to stagger along without ship
wreck in the absence of its great
Governor last Monday while he was
making a political address to the vot
ers of Rartow County, or on last
Wednesday while he was muking a
gpeech to the editors of the weekly
rewspapers al Commerce, Ga.? Also,
how can he find time to get away
from the Capitol with the Legislature
in session to make political addresses
alone, and still find no time for the
joint discussion that his conduct and
cards invited?
Mr Slaton, one of the ciilef oppo
nents in Georgla of President Wilson,
seems greatly worried over the char
acter of the support | have given the
President of my choice and the Ad
ministration of my party, especially
in reference to the currency bill, lLet
Mr. Slaton forget it. 1 wiil never be
a “me too’ statesman, and hiindty
pgree to everything that anyhody.
even my closest friend, suggesis I
am not built that way. [ have a
mind and a consclence of my own,
and [ follow them both. So | shall
when 1 go to the Senal I ke 10
ngree with my friends and do, when
1 think they are right 1 never do]
when I think they are wrong. Close |
as has been my friendship with Pres- '
icent Wilson and deep as is my .u‘.-!
miration for that great man, 1 do not
suppose 1 will ever agree with him ot
anybody else about everyvthing that
comes along. and. as earnestly as [
may support him and his Adminis
tration, [ shall nover hesitate to stand
for what 1 think is right, according to
iy best lights, Georgla ought to ex
pect that of her Senators,
What of the parcel post and the is
sue on that question that Mr. Slaton
thinks he raises with mg¢
In the spring of 1809 a number of
representatives of the Farmers' Union
held a conference with a number of
Southern and Western members of
Congress. At that conference I was
present by invitation 1 suggested
that we fight for a rural parcel post
one confined to the rural routes. The
express companies gave service to
every part of the conntry except to its
rural gections, though thelr rates werce
much too high No private agency
could be dewised to serve, generally,
the rural sections of the country
While the express rates, along the
railroads, were too high still, ample

them, to a reasonable hasis. This had
been given fn 1906 in the Hepburn
rallroad rate bill. The Commission
had not exerciged the power, but was
preparing and . promising to do so.
Prompt and effectual action in this
ragard could protect the people who
lived in cities and towns, but the peo
ple who lived in rural sections could
get no such service, unless the Gov
ernment gave it to them, through the
rural route system.
Amendment Offered.
After some digcussion, thigs was, 1
think, generally accepted, and In ac
cordance with it 1 first tried to get an
amendment considered in the House
in connection with the postoffice ap~
propriation bill to try an experiment
al parcel post, on the rural routes,
just as we had established, in the be
ginning, an experimental rural free
delivery system. The amendment 1
offered was ruled out on a technical
point of order under the rules,
I followed it up by introducing a
bill to the same effect, which T pressed
and argued at length before the Posi
office Committee of the House April
22, 1909, The Republican party, then.
in contre! of the Houge and its com
mittees dented us even this experi
mental rural parcel post. Nothing
wis done in the matter until after the
Democrats had carried the House and
assumed its control. During the con
sideration of the postoffice appropria
tion bill in 1912 Mr. Henry, of Texas,
from the Committee on Rules, report- |
ed o special rule whereby the consid
eration of the parcel post questim
vas allowed.
I closed the debate for the Com
mittee on Rules (Congressional Rec
otd, volume 48, part 5, page k’»l'm:fl.l
defending the rule against Republican
assault and arguing its adoption, The
House adopted it, and as a result,
April 30, 1912, it voted upon a propo
isiflun offared hy Mr. Moon, of 'l‘en-'
nessee, providing a parcels system
confined to the rural routes of tho‘
’(-nnnlr,\' and with a welght limit of|
cleven pounds. This was exactly in
accordanee with the suggestion 1 had
made to the conference I have refer
red to, and precisely what I had stood
for in the heated Congressional cam
palgn of 1810 in the Tenth District
of Georgia. The Moony proposition
also provided a commission to study
the subject of a general parcels post |
throughout the country. 1
Present Law Compromise. |
Subsequently, under legislation en
acted in 1913, we have established
(hg present parcels ‘post system, di
viding the country inte eight zones
and fixing the postage on parcels ac
cording to fMe distance transported,
:\\i!h a weight limit of 60 pounds on
local baginess, not to be marrled mm*e!
than 150 miles, and with, a welght
‘lilnl{ of twenty pounds on all pack
i.x,"'s to be eransported more than 150
- miles Such ig the present law, As
i strue in most cases, it was the re
‘!“m of compromise between extreme
t:md conflicting views
| It will be observed that the weight
|‘=‘nm on all packages that are frans
ported more than 150 miles is twenty
':»«-mz!m and the postage 18 based
strictly on the welght of the package
L and the distance it is to travel
l Frankly, this was a greater ven
ture upon the business of transport
‘inu freight for hire than I wanted to
‘,wv this Government make, but 1t was
|5O much more reasonable and mod-
L erate a proposition than many sub
!mim-d that I made no special effort
i to defeat it, and since its establigh
!nuvn: have made no'effort to repeal
iyt I have no plan or purpose to at
i'wm-t its repeal if elected to the Sen
late, because I am willing to aceept it
a 8 a compromise, for fear that we
{ may gao further and do worse I
P shall, however, appose any extenzion
jof the system beyvond lits present
{limit for the following reasons:
BABPRE N R s AP A WSS R A NIRRT
His Reasons,
1. We have aiready given the farm
ers the rural route parcels post serv
ice that they are entitled to and that
will give them ihis service that they
can abtain in no other Way.
2. Because 1 am s sound Democrat,
and belleve that the m)&ana only
business in which the Government
ought to engage is the business of
governing. I am opposed, on princl
ple. to the Government engaging in
the dAry goods business, the grocery
business, or even the business of car
rving freight for hire.
3. If the Government embarks, on a
large scale, in the business of trans
porting freight for hire in connection
with the maiis, it will Pe certain to
impede, obstract and delay the prompt
carriage and delivery of the mails-—
the result will be that we finally will
“get our mafl by freight, and our
)f!‘\".!‘\( by mall”
4 If the Govérnment s to embark,
on @ large scale, In the husiness of
iu.mfl--.r(‘ng freight far hire, whether
at a profit or at a loss, the inevitable
tesuit of the enterprize will be that it
must acquire and operate the agen
cies of (ransportation. In other words,
it must take over and operate the!
raitroads of the country. The Gov
ernment ownership and operation of
the railroads is, ta my mind, fraugh’
with so much peril, both to our Gov
ernment and our vn;m(r,\'. that I ecan
not contemgplate the possibiity with
complacency or acquiesce ir any step
that leads te that result.
& Mail Order Houles.
5 1f the Goverrment establishes a
parcel post system with a large
| freight lmit, say of 100 pourds, or
even of 250 pounds. as some of its
most rabid and radical proponenta

country into a few large cities in the
hands of a few great mail order
houses—a large class of our citizens
will be deprived both of their means
and opportunity to earn a livelihood,
without compensatory results to the
general public that would justify
such a radical and reckless upsetting
of the business conditions of our
State and country
For all of these reasons§ while 1 do
not propose a destruction of the pres
ent parcel post, with its twenty
pound Hmit en all except local busi
ness, 1 certainly do oppose any fur
ther extension of the system.
I suspéct that Mr. Siaton has
stumbled *head foremost into a far
bigger issue than he anticipated. His
cards, so far, do not indicate a very
orofound or accurate knowledge of
the merits of the questions. [ believe
his purpose was to seek votes at my
expense hy attempting to excite the
prejudices of one class of our citi
zens and most unjustly, against me.
If 1 do him injustice, however, and
he really wishes to take serions is
sue with me on my views and posi
tion in this matter, I am prepared to
give battle. In that event, since 11
have stated my own position and|
views, and accurately, let e ask
him a few questions
Asks Slaton Questions. |
1. Does Mr. Slaton favor any ex- |
tension of the present parcel post
gyvstem ?
2. If so, to what weight limit on
parcels that travel o%er 150 miles?
Would he go . 250 pounds, to 100
pounds. to 50 pounds, or where?
3. Does Mr. Slaton favor the zone
system, or the flat rate system?
Would he assess the postage not only
according to the weight of the pack
age, but also according to the dis
tance it is to travel, or would he |
assess according to weight, a flm\
rate regardless of distance, just as|
two cents will carry a letter 1,000
miles and the same two cents is re
quired to carry it a mile? !
4. Does Mr. Slaton, in his new
born progressive zeal favor the Gov
ernment ownership and operation of
railroads?
5 In what campalgn, national or
State, did Mr. Slaton ever champion
!lh‘ cause of progress or reform, or
ever support a progressive candidate,
unless it were after nomination?
' The New Tax Act,
: 6. Was his tax act born of his re
| cently developed love of the farmer?
|\\'v~' {t for that resson, when he
| changed the farmers' system of tax
returns from the vVoluntary system
to the assessment plan, that he left

'“r("'\\"'!‘ Wright, on the old basis of

Father of Eighteen-Year-Old Girl,
However, Threatens to Prose
.
cute Her Companion.
BOSTON, July 18—The curtain
has fallen abruptly on the romance
of Fern Hallian, the winsome 18-
year-old heiress of Hull and Arling
ton, and Louis Eifsman, the Halllan
famlly chauffeur, who eloped from
“the movies” in Hull on the night of
July 1 and were captured in Port
land, Maine, on June 4.
Fern and her sweetheart say the
curtain will rise again and they wml
yet be married and live happily ever
afterward. James Hallian, Fern's
father, a millionaire of Hull, declares
that the little drama is ended “for
keeps."
In the meantime Fern has been
forgiven and taken home. Eisman
has been locked up in jail charged
with abduction. Mr. Halllan declares
that he will prosecute him. |
Determined to Wed. |
The locks that hold fast the iron
doors of a jail are not the kind love
is supposed to laugh at. However,
both the young people are hopeful. |
“] want to marry Louis,” sald Fern
to-day, “and 1 will marry him some
how, somewhere.”
“Of course, 1 love her” sald Els
man, smiling from between the bars
of hir cell. “I want to get married to
her right away. WWhatever the kid
says is all right.”
While Miss Halliah was at a mov
ing picture show in Hull with Mrs.
Baxter as chaperon, Eisman sent in
word he wished to see her. Fern
whispered to Mrs. Baxter that she
wished to step outside and “speak to
Louis a moment,” Mra Baxter didn't
object, and Fern did not come back.
She and her sweetheart took the
train for Portland, where they put up
in an apartment house. Upon her
mysterious disappearance her father
dffered a reward for her, and a police
hunt wag begun that enlisted the in
terest of all New England.
Caught by Mother Love.
It was Fern's longing to quiet her
mother's fears that led to the arrest
of the elopers. When the girl step
red to the telegraph window in Port
iand and sent Mrs. Hallian a meksage
' not to worry, the operator recognized
’)im' from her picture published in the
newspapers and notified the police.
' The police informed Mr. Hallian by
wire of the arrest of the couple, and
the millionaire hurried to Portiand
with Chief of Police Reynolds, of
Hull
Upon the arrival of the party In
Boston Eisman was taken to jafl
Fern was motored in her family car
to her home. As the machine drew
up her mother and grandmother
came out to meet it
“Here she is, mother,” sald Mr
Hallian, “our darling Fern."
“You are welcome and forgiven,”
sobbed the mother.
“Everything Forgiven.”
Then the grandmother kissed the
girl and said: “Everything is for
given, dear.”
“We did everything for Fern.,” said
her mother to-dav, ‘“Her father gave
her plenty of money to spend. She
wnas educated abroad. She had beau
tiful clothes and Jjewelry. She de
lighted in auto riding, and Eisman
was an expert chauffeur. It may
Lave been his skill that attracted her.
That is all I can think of. He Is
almost illiterate.”
Eisman is 23 yvears old He had
been employved as chauffeur in the
Halllan family & vear. He had $5OO

Pinkertons Spend Two Years Dis
proving False Romance Before
She Is Given Money.
ST. LOUIS, July 18.—It has taken
the Pinkerton Detective Agency near
ly two years to run down the imag-
Inary romance of a black sheep, there
by securing a $40,000 legacy for Mrs.
Emilee Dieckriede, who was an Oak
land, Cal., stenographer until a month
ago, but who is heiress to nne-eighthi
of the estate of a pioneer Missouri
manufacturer, |
C'harles B. Dieckriede, Jr., who shot
and killed himseif in San Francisco,
invented a history of his career that
passed muster with his relatives in St.
Louis, and which cost thousands of
dollars to disprove. These are some
of the incidents whieh did not hap
pen, but upon which Dieckriede man
aged to extract funds from his moth
el and father:
| His Inventions.
~ He married a charming girl named
}f}rexchpn Loeb on June 23, 1910, and
he required money for her support.
! He was building a home for his
‘hride and he required a large sum to
complete the building.
An infant daughter was born, dying
two days later, and he needed money
for expenses in a maternity hospital,
nurses, doctors and a plot in Cypress
LLawn Cemetery.
His wife, Gretchen, died and he
needed money for funeral expenses
and for unpaid doctors’ bills.
To disprove the statements made in
this series of fairy tales Involved a
search of marriage and death records,
cemetery accounts and an investiga
tion inte Dieckriede’s metegric career
ir San Irancisco, extending over a
period of many months.
Spent Money Reckiessly.
During all this time, as shown by
the accounts of a bank, Dieckriede
was spending money at the rate of
L 2500 or 2600 per week. Immediately
following the arrival of a remittance,
ostensibly for the death of a baby or
a wife, he would draw daily checks
for $lOO or $2OO, and the size of the
checks thereafter would gradually de
crease to $lO, $56 and even $2, by
which time it was necessary to invent
a new necessity
’ A month before he shot himself
| Dieckrieda married Emilea Smith, of
'Hmw Francisco. Not until after the
tragic termination of their honey
| moon did she learn he was the son of
a wealthy man of the same name, at
whose death there was left, in n"-ust
for his family, an estate of over $250,-

Explorer of Death Valley Confi
dent Diamonds Will Yet Be
‘ !
-Discovered There. 1
LOS ANGELES, July 15,~-"South-‘
ern California will become known
some day, when {ts world-staming|
production of oranges, oil and other
trings has ceased to be a novelty, as
‘cne of the greatest producers of semi- |
precious stones in the world.” l
This is the prediction of F. M. My- |
rick, of Johannesburg, Cal., who dur- |
ing years of desert searching beoame‘
recognized by the United States Geo- :
logical Survey as the discoverer of
“myrickie,” and of two other new va- ‘
rieties of mineral not yet classified.
Mr. Myrick's favorite huntln}g
ground is Death Valley, where he is
as much at home as an Angeleno is
on Broadway. It was at the lowest
level of Death Valley, most of which
{8 below sea level, that he found his
rarest stones in volcanic outcrop
pings. He is en route to San Fran
cisco, where he will exhibit some of
his specimens at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition.
Brilliantly Marked Mineral.
The “myrickie” consists of a trans
lucent gray chalcedony, beautifully
marked with bright blood-red spots
and patches of other color. It some
what resembles agate, but is harder
and more brightly marked.
Perhaps the oldest discovery is the
“hyalite opal,” said to have been
found nowhere else in the world. It
is harder than the ordinary opal, pure
white and transparent. It was dis
covered by Myrick on the top of a
butte jutting 2,000 feet high near the
lowest spot in the valley. A stone
found on his last trip, which local
lapldaries have not been able to iden
tify, is also a clear, transparent white,
and was found in formation resem
bling that of known diamond fields.
The butte on which the hyalite opal
was discovered was named Mount
Meerchaum several vears ago, My
rick having found a deposit of meer
schaum near there. Included in his
collection are quantities of chalcedony
of deep blue, found in very few places
and of a purple stone of the amethyst
type, also very rare and as yet not
exactly identified.
Rare Formations Many,

spots that the semi-precious stons
hunter could turn to,” said Mr, My
rick. “Hundreds of rare formations
exist. I have discovered these other
stones - while prospecting for dia
monds, which I still believe may be
found there.
“It is, of course, probably the most
inaccesible spot in the world. To get
some of these stones [ have been
obliged to travel 30 miles from wa
ter, carrying enough for myself and a
pack mule both ways, besides what
we needed while I remained there.
Other deposits, while far from civili
zation, have an abundant supply of
gcod water close at hand. It is the
healthiest cl'mate in the world,
