ALASKA NEEDS SAFEGUARDS WERNER GETS PROMOTION COMPTROLLER IN
CHANGES IN LAW ARE UR(*ED TO
PROTECT NATURAL W EALTH.
Committer on Expenditures in Interior
Department Makes Report Elim-
inating Controller Bay
Charges.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—A formal re-
port to the House today from the Com-
mittee on Expenditures In the Interior
Department dismissed from congressional
consideration t He Controller Bay charges,
the keynote of which was the widely
quoted "Dick to Dick" letter, and the
accusation that Richard S. Ryan was
acquiring a monopoly of valuable Alaska
harbor rights.
The committee"s action wis bafcrd on
the recommendation of Louis Bran-
dels and Amos Pinehot, counsel for the
committee, and a speed) of Secretary
of the Interior Fisher, which the com-
mittee regarded as voicing a change in
the Administration's altitude toward
Alaska. The committee recommends
radical changes in the law for safe-
guarding Alaska's natural wealth.
"The Government," it says, "should
not part with the title to any coal, pe-
troleum, natural gas or mineral land
which It now owns in Alaska.
"The Government should construct, ac-
quire, own and, if necessary, operate at
least one railroad there.
"If Alaska is to be developed, that de-
velopment must come either through out-
side syndicated wealth or through in-
dividual energy and enterprise, aided by
government construction of necessary
railroads."
In committee, Mr. Burke of South Da-
kota, representing the Republican mem-
bers, ineffectually demanded a continu-
ance to hear Miss M. F. Abbott and
others as to the authenticity of the so-
called "Dick to Dick" letter. Republi-
cans claim the letter never existed in
the Interior Department, files or else-
where, and that the perpetrators of the
"fabrication" imposed on Miss Abbott's
credulity.
A resolution by Mr Burke declaring
that if no such letter existed the affair
was an "infamous attack" and "vicious
assault" on the President, was defeated
by a party vote. It declared that the
"forgery and libel" should be exposed
and the parties to it identified. The
minority was given five days to make a
report.

the San Antonio public will have to re-

case during rho past week.
The Army has planned to serve 1,000

Several hundred baskets of food to the
Reserving. To do this funds to a con-
Klderable amount are necessary.
Ensign R. Goblenz, who has charge of
the work, has sent out letters to various
persons and has had four kettles on
prominent street corners. Few responses

Notification of the promotion of W. .!.
Werner, foimerly a resident of this city

Great Northern Railroad with offices in
Houston, was received in San Antonio
Friday morning. He succeeds R. E. Wil-
liams, who has severed his connection
with the International & Great Northern
to go with another road.
There is hardly a better known railroad
man in this city than Mr. Werner. His
ci.reer and advancement with the Inter-
national & Great Northern iias been rapid
r.nd well deserved. Friday Homer Eau&.
former sup« rintendent of the system in
Texas, said of him: "His promotion is
well earned and deserved. 1 regard Mr.
Werner as one of tl"5 most capable and
efficient railroad accountants in T£xas
He is a young man and I predict for him
a bright future ar.d further advance-
ment."
Mr. Werner went to work for the In-
ternational & Great Northern a* a clerk
at. Trinity in 1897. Later he served as a
clerk at Lartdo; cashier and agent at
Rockdale; cashier at Tyler; cashier and
chief clerk at Palestine, and in 1904 left
the transportation department to enter
the accounting department as a travel-
ing auditor. In January of I'd" he was
promoted to chicf traveling auditor. Last

The Kxpress Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., J »ec. !>. In a public
siiitenient today Comptroller W. P. Lane
ir.'ide sharp rejoinder to the recently pub-
lished letter of Governor Colquitt to Rob-
ert H. Hopkins of Denton. He discussed
categorically tlie executive's opinion that
the Comptroller and Attorney Genera'
Lightfoot had conspired to harass the ad-
ministration; that the Comptroller's De-
partment now is as well fixed for money
tary support as it ever has been, and he
supplies comparative figures since 1S8S,
declaring the department is operating with
fewer employes and at less expense. He
answers the Governor's comment on "col-
lusion" in the Supreme Court actions In
mandamus. He compares O. B. Colquitt
with II ,J. Davis and talks of "tyrannical
disposition aud autocratic efforts." He
criticises harshly the source of the Gov-
ernor's information as to departmental fi-
nances, and outers into a discussion of the
treatment of his own department and of
himself by the elected head of the State.
"The unimpeachable rtuth is." Mr. Lane
wrote," "if the Governor's adminstration
has so far been a failure, he has no one to
j blame or censure but O. B. Colquitt. He
I unconsciously revealed in a speech in San
j Antonio tlie dominating spirit that has
i actuated him in his every oficial »ct in
! dealing with the heads of other depart-
ments of the State government when he
said; *Ir I cannot be Governor and gov-
ern. I will not be Governor.' By this ex-
pression it can be seen readily that to
govern is the exalted idea this man enter-
tains of the great office to which the peo-
ple have temporarily elected him."
CHARGE OF COLLUSION.
First, taking up the Governor's charge
of "collusion" in the Supreme Court ac-
tions by the Attorney General, the Comp-
troler wrote:
"1 assume the letter purported to be
written by Goverour O. B. Colquitt, ad-
dressed to Robert II. Hopkins at Denton,
a copy of which was given to the news-
papers of the State and published Novem-
ber 2d, is a correct quotatiou of the Gov-
ernor's language. If this assumption be
true, then in so far as this letter relates
to my action and my department, it would
scarcely be possible to encompass in the
same language more of misrepresentation
than can he found in this communication.
The fart is, this misrepresentation Is so
plain, so flagrant, scuimcalled for and in-
excusable that it convicts the Governor of
either one or both of two bad characteris-
tics—lack of information or malicious-
ness.
"The charge made by the Governor that
the recent suit before the Supreme Court
involving the validity of his veto message
dealing with the appropriation for the
Attorney General's Department, was the
result of a collusion between the Attorney
General and myself, is a fabrication of the
Governor's own mind. An examination of
the decisions handed down by each of the
three eminent jurists who sat In this
case, ought to convince any fair-minded
man that there is not the semblance of
truth to substantiate any such charge. My
contention was that the Legislature ap-
propriated in one item the sum of $S3,1t»0
for the support and maintenance of the
Attorney General's Deparment for the two
fiscal years beginning September 1. 1911,
and ending August 31, 1913, and taht the
Governor vetoed this Item, and for that
reason there whs no appropriation availa-
ble and 1 could not legally issue a war-
rant in payment of any salary or expense
In connection with that department. In
the final opinion handed down by Chief
Justice Brown In overruling the motion
made by the Attorney General for rehear-
ing, he says:
" 'We nil agree that the sum of $83,-
100 specified in the paragraph of the
appropriation bill relating to the Attorney
General's department, constituted an item
which the Governor had authority to veto.
Judge Dibrell and 1 are of the opinion
that the Governor intended to veto the
Item $83,160, and th.it his veto did have
that effect. Judge Dibrell and I agree
that the veto did annul the sum of $83,100.
named us the appropriation for two years.'
A majority of the court then held that on
account or the peculiar manner in which
the language making the appropriation of
the item of $83,1 B0 was incorporated in
that section of the general appropriation
bill pertaining to the Attorney General's
Department that it was without signifi-
cance. nnd tlint after eliminating the sum
of $S3,1G0, the appropriation for the At-
torney General's Department was depend-
ent upon section 1 for Its support, nnd
that there still remained an Item of $41,-
58') for each of the two fiscal years, the
latter one of which he vetoed."
The <hlef Justice further says: 'It ap-
pearing that the respondent (the Comp-
troller) has not willfully denied the re-
lator's (the Attorney General) right, it is
ordered that the relaftfr pay all cost.' In
this opinion both associate justices con-
curred Associate Justice Dibrell said:
'If the appropriation for the Attorney
General's Department contains one item of

appropriation only (which was my con-
til ruction), then the Governor's veto struck
nut the whole of the appropriation.' After
reviewing the history of the appropri-
ation, Associate Justice Ramsey said: 'Let
lis then proceed to determine first, whether
the entire appropriation for the Attorney
General's Department has been vetoed.
That there is much strength in this con-
tention, I think that an inspection of the
veto will demonstrate.' In tne concluding
paragraph of Judge Ramsey's able opin-
ion. he adds: 'In a matter of such great
difficulty and doubt, it seems to us that
the Comptroller was acting with proper
omtlon in necking a judicial construction
before recognizing any appropriation as
available.'
"Addressing Mr. Hopkins, the Governor
ngaln says:
" 'It might he well for you to know
sme facts concerning the Comptroller's
yfflee and the Attorney General's office
and the appropriations made for the sup-
port of these two departments for several
years past. I requested one of the clerks
In - the Secretary of State's office to g«>
through ihe appropriation bills and advise
me of the total amount appropriated to
the Comptroller's office for the last sev-
eral years, and he replied to my request
and I quote his letter in full as fol-
lows :
"There are two features in connection
with this statement by the Governor to
which I desire to direct special attention.
The first is the period of time used in his
l i'ompai aitve « »st of these two departments
it. ilie state government, 'for several
I years past'
CALLS FIGURES UNFAIR.
"The second is the source from which
he receives his information relative to
the affairs of the Comptroller's Depart-
ment. An intelligent, unbiased reading
public will not fail to observe that his
protege In the Secretary of State's office
in compiling the appropriation for the
Comptroller's Department 'for several
years' only uses tne figures for the fiscal
year 1910, eight and one-half months of
which was in my administration. In
showing the comparative cost of the At-
torney General's Department tor several
years past,' he went back through six
different administrations to the year 1S8S,
and if the Governor had cherished any
disposition to deal fairly with me in 'his
letter to Mr. Hopkins, why did he not
go back for a similar period of time to
compare tlie relative cost in the conduct
of the Comptroller's Department? For
the very obvious reason, as the following
figures will show, that his intention was
not to enlighten and inform, but to
prejudice and deceive the people, and
these comparative figures, if applied to
the Comptroller's Department, would
not have served his selfish purpose. Here
are the comparative figures for the
Comptroller's Department for the past
twenty-throe years:

"These comparative figures show that
notwithstanding the marvelous growth
and development of the State since 1888
and the corresponding increase in tlie
business that has come to the Comptrol-
ler's Department, that 1 am operating
the department today with two less em-
ployes and $1,762.50 less money annually
than was required twenty-three years
ago. Since the year 1888 the pension and
liquor departments have been added to
the work of the office. The pension de-
partment alone receives and mails out
annually more than 125,000 pieces of mall
matter.
"If the Governor wants reliable infor-
mation relative to the affairs of the
Comptroller's Department, who ls in the
best position to give this information—a
clerk in the Secretary or State's office
or the elected head of the comptroller's
Department? This is an example of the
manner in which the Governor has en-
deavored to co-operate with me in the
conduct of the affairs of this State since
1 have been in charge of the Comptrol-
ler's office. Here is another shining ex-
ample of the manner in which he has
sought to co-operate with me in the dis-
charge of the public duties of my office:
lie solicited and obtained a conference
with one of the employes in my depart-
ment. in order to secure Information that
would excuse him in the eyes of the pub-
lic in vetoing the appropriation for the
salary of my chief clerk, Hon. Chas. li.
White, and for no other reason than po-
litical spite:
"Referring to the report of the Audit-
I ing Committee authorized by the Thir-
tieth Legislature, the Governor says:
" 'You will observe that irie Legisla-
ture passed a bill in conformity with the
recommendation of the Auditing Commit-
tee provided for by the Thirtieth Legis-
lature, and this bill, reorganizing the
I Comptroller's Department, is found in
I chapter 17, page 37. of the acts of the
third called session of the Thirty-first
I Legislature.
j " 'On page 01 of the auditing commit,
tee's report. I find that the auditing
committee recommended a reduction of
the force in the Comptroller's Depart-
ment, and under the plan outlined by
said auditing committee thev recom-
mended the employment of eighteen peo-
ple. exclusive of the Comptroller, aggre-
gating salaries as recommended of $22.-
560 per year.'
"This old misrepresentation has been
exposed so often that the Governor must
be in desperate straits for some ex< use
to discredit the head of a constitutional
department of the State government when
he attempts to use in an effort to show
that there is now an excessive number
of employes in the Comptroller's Depart-
ment necessary for the efficient and ex-
peditious discharge of the duties of that
department. An examination of chapter
17 of the acts of the third called session
of the Thirty-first Legislature will show
that this bill does not provide for re-
organization of the Comptroller's Depart-
ment in conformity with the recommend-
ations of the auditing committee except
In so far as it pertains to the bookkeep-
ing and warrant departments. The only
changes made by the act above referred
to in the conduct of the Comptroller s
Department was to inaugurate a double
entry system of bookkeeping and change
the manner of issuing warrants to a
carbon system of original, duplicate and
triplicate. This change has more than
doubled the work in these two depart-
ments. In the plan of reorganization as
recommended by the auditing committee,
it was provided that the number of em-
ployes be reduced from forty-eight to
nineteen by abolishing the redemption
and tax departments, two of the largest
subdivisions belonging to the office. This
recommendation the Legislature failed to
follow. Abolish these two great subdi-
visions of the Comptroller s Department
today with their complement of employes,
and T will then have left sixteen men,
three less than was recommended in the
report of the expert auditors.
DEN ITS HE'S CONSPIRATOR.
"The assertion that Attorney General
Lightfoot and myself an* *»etng used as
conspirators to harass and annoy him in
his administration, and that Judge Ram-
sey is among our advisers, is so childish,
so silly and so ridiculous that I will not
condescend to make reply to such non-
sense. The unimpeachable rruth ls. If the
Governor's administration has so far been
a failure, he ha9 no one to blame or
censure but O. B. Colquitt. He reached
the great office of Governor of Texas
by a minority vote in the Democratic pri-
mary and had the opportunity of a life-
time if he had only known how to US®
It to establish himself in the confidence
and favor of the people, and that he ha#
not done so ls due solely to his own fool-
ish and autocratic acts. He uncon-
sciously revealed In a speech in San An-
tonio the dominating spirit that has ac-
tuated him in everv official act in dealing
with the heads or other departments of
the State government when ho said: 'II
1 cannot be governed and govern, I will
not be Governor.' By this expression it
<an bo readily seen that to govern is
the exalted Idea this man entertains ot
the great office to which the people have
temporarily elevated him. All his illus-
trious predecessors back to the days of
reconstruction have considered it an honor
to serve the people In the capacity of
Governor, while this man wants to gov-
ern.
"His every disposition in dealing with
me in the discharge of my public duties
has been to force me to apply to him,
like a cringing supplicant, for the neces-
sities of my department. There has been
no administration in the history of Texas
since the "carpet bag" reign of E. J.
Davis to compare with this one, and even
Governor Davis, in his palmKst days,
could not have excelled O. R Colquitt in
tyrannical disposition and autocratic ef-
forts."
TO HOLD GASOLINE HEARING
State Insurance Board to Consider the
Company's Complaint.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 9.—In response to
petition, the State Insurance Board today
fixed January 8 to consider the applica-
tion of the F. P. Lighting System, "fool
proof and fire proof," to have the board
eliminate the charge against its gasoline
lighting system. The petition was made
by Attorneys Andrews, Ball & Streetman
of Houston.
The board In its general basis schedule
has a charge of 15 cents against places
containing gasoline lighting systems,
where the gasoline tank ls in the build-
ing. If tills tank contains more than
five gallons It ls against the board's reg-
ulations. The "F. P." system is exempted
from the charge by the Insurance com-
panies in several States, but Secretary R.
L. Pollard of the Texas board says State
regulation does not necessarily follow
company actions. He says the trouble
has been that to exempt one concern
makes it Incumbent to advertise that one
or to exempt all others that have the
gasoline tank in the building.
TARGET SEASON WILL END

The regiment bhould finish its work at
the range the latter part of the current
week, and then march into the post here.
Because of the fact that it spent much
of the time on the border in the spring
and summer on the border patrol, the
annual target practice of the organization
v.i.s postponed to what might be called
the eleventh hour, ft r in this special tr.-
sti nee it was necessary to extend the
season
According to the reports that have been
received here the cave lift'men have been
doing go-jd work on the range and" the
new members of the regiment have profit-
ed to a gn.ut extent.
The last battalion of the Twenty-sec-
ond infantry has gotten back to ramp
fn m the range. The infantrymen wound
up their season in good style and proba-
bly will be enumerated among the regi
inents to distinguish themselves, it was
one of the battalions of this regiment
that performed for the Secretary of War
on his recent visit to the Southwest.
On the whole the target season in the
D» partment of Texas will this year prove
one of the most notable recorded here.

You who have suffered long from chronic indigestion know that the
so-called "dyspecsia cures" do not really cure permanently, hut at
best only give temporary relief. They help digestion, but they
must be taken each time food is eaten.
There is a better and surer way of
obtaining permanent relief, and that is
by the use of such a remedy as DR.
e ALU WELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN.
There is no denying the value of
pepsin as an aid to digestion, but in
addition to this DR. CALDWELL'S
DR. CALDWELL'S
SYRUP PEPSIN
Is the Ideal Cure for
Chronic Indigestion
SYRUP PEPSIN contains ingredients that tone and strengthen the stomach
muscles. There are also rcco^nized laxative properties which remove from
the bowels all matter tha' should be eliminated. It is necessary that a
remedy for indigestion be effective both on the stomach and the bowels, and
this can be said of DR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN. A small dose
taken as the directions call for, and in severe cases continued for a few days,
will cure any case of indigest'on or your money will be refunded. SYRUP
PEPSIN Is for the stomach, liver and bowels, and for these specific purposes
has no superior. It is the ideal family remedy and should be in every home.
A fifty-cent bottle haa been known to keep a large family in health for a
long time. It is an inexpensive way of avoiding doctor bills and the incon-
veniences of sickness, fcr where there is good digestion and good bowel
movement there is sure to be good health. SYRUP PEPSIN" can be taken
with safety and sure results from infancy to old age. It has no superior as
a laxative for children. It is mild, acts gently and without griping. It is
also pleasant to the taste.
Dr. Caldwell:
Concerning your sample. It was
right. It forced me t«» trr n .W bottle
and 1 have recouimended It to others
and they have tried It and found 1t like
I recommend It.
