Utile or nothing. He Indie!, ton, that If

In the opinion of the president the direc

and that faU.uuo tie placed at the disposal
of the commission to defray the expense
of the proposed investigation.
Mmwf f of rreaUraL
The message in full follow:
To the Senate and House of Representa
tives: 1 'nave signed the Joint resolution
instructing the Interstate Commerce com
mission to make examination into the
sub.twct of railroad discrimination and mo
nopolies in coal und oil ana rrjKirt on the
same lrom time to time. 1 haie signed it
with hesitation, because In the form it wa
paad it achieves very little and may ac
complish nothing, and It Is highly unde.sir
atiie that M resolution of this kind shall tie
come lKr in such lorm a to give the ini
pretwion of iliwnoeril : that i. of protend
ing to do something which reall is not
done. But after much hesitation 1 con
cluded to sigr. the resolution, liecause Ha
detect ' can he remedied hy legislation
which Itiurehv ask for; and It must !e
underMood that unlef this suhsequrnt
legislation I granted the. present resolution
must be mainly, and may be entirely. In
operative. Jtefnre specifying what this legislation Is
I wish u .call .attention to one or two pre
liminary facta. In the tirst place, a part
f the investigation required by the house
f representative in the resolution adopted
February lb. in, relating to the oil indus
try, and a further tiart having to do with
the anthracite coal Industry, iia been for !
some lime under consideration by tlie le
pariment of Commerce and Labor. These
invcstigaUoiift. 1 am informed, are ap
peoaohiim completion.-and beiore ootigres
ad.iourn 1 shall submit to you the pre
liminary reports of thorn- Investigations.
I'ntil tnese report are completed the In
terstate Commerce commission could not
ctirteswnr t wrrry oot-oo much of the reso
lution of emigre., a rfrs tu the gTound
tl.ua alreudy covered without running the
rink of seeing tlx two Investigation con
Hie! and therefore render each more or less
negatory, ...
Mai- rrev( Pre-wttw.
In the acnd place. I call your attention
to the fact that if an investigation of the
iHture proposed in till Joint resolution 1
thoroughly and effectively conducted it
will result In giving immunity irom crim
inal proweeutioa to all persona who are
railed, sworn and -constrained by compul
sory process of law to testify a witnesses,
though, of course. Immunity from prose
cution is not given to those from whom
statements or information merely in con
tradiction to sworn testimony is obtained.
This I not at all to say that all investiga
tion should not be undertaken. Publicity
can by itself often accomplish extraordi
nary results for good, and the court of
publir .tudgment may secure such results
where the courts of law are powerless.
There arc many cases where an investiga
tion securing complete publicity about
abuses and giving congress the material
on which to proceed in tne enactment of
Isw is more useful than a criminal prose
cution can possibly be. Bin It should not
In provided for by law without a clear
understanding that it may be an alterna
tive Instead of an additional remedy that
Is. that to carry -on the investigation may
serve a a tmr to the successful prosecu
tion of the oftenstis disclosed. The official
bnrty directed by congress to make the in
vestigation must, of course, carry out It
direction and therein- the direction should
nm be glveu without full appreciation of
a t at it means.

to carry out the Investigation in question
and unless the comminsion in carrying them

would be able to make the Investigation
only In the nicxt partial and uiisatistartcr)
manner; and. moreover, it Is questionable
whether it could, under this resolution, ad
minister oath at aii or compel the attend
ance of wttneie. If thlr po-r were uis
puted by the parties investigated the im-e-ugation
would lie held up for a year or two
until the court passed upon it, in which
case, during the period of waiting, the com
mission could only Investigate to the extent
ant! in the manner already prescribed tinder
It orcanlc law so that the passage of the
resolution mould have achieved u good
result whatever.
I accordingly recommend to congreK the
aeriou consideration of Just what they wish
the oummiBRior. to do and how far they
wish it to go, having In view the possible
compatibility of conducting an investiga
tion like this and of also proceeding crim
inally In s court of law; and. furthermore.,
thai a sufficient sum. say li.dOo. tie at once
added to the current appropriation for the
commission so a to enable them to do the i
work indicated in a thorough and complete j
manner; while at the ame time me power
is explicitly cotiierred ujion them to admin-
str oaths and compel the attendance of
wiim-sse in making the investigation in
question which covers work quite apart
from their usual duties It seems unwise to
require an investigation by a commission
and then not to furnish either the full legal
IKiwer or the money, both of which are
ne-essary to render the investigation effec
tiva. (Signed i THEODORE P.OOSEVELT,

While the democratic love feast held at
the Lincoln hotel last night lias failed to
create any stampede into the rauks of the
unterrtfied it has created some discussion.
One thing shown at the banquet was the
fact that A. C. Shallenberger is the strong
man In the democratic party for governor.
After a speech by the Alms man a cum
ber of democrats left the hall and expressed
themselves as being in favor of him for
the nomination. G. W. Berge, in the opin
ion of many who expressed themselves,
was too radical to suit, and he will have
considerable opposition in his fight fur the
nomination.
Mr. Shallenberger' said last night he wbs
not an "avowed" candidate for governor,
but be intimated he would not reiust It
were it offered to him.

Senator Charle Anderson of Crete had
buainoss in Lincoln today and he stopped
long enough to say he was not a candidate

mirers of Mr. Anderson have been talking
of him for this office and It ha been freely
predicted he would lie a candidate.
"I appreciate what my friends have said."
remarked Mr. Anderson, "but you will
please tell them 1 am not a candidate."

'FT. PETERSBl'RG. March 7. Although

to the national assembly leave considerable
vagueness regarding the exact status of

after the manifesto of October 30, that the
cabinet would be responsible to the national
assembly, after the Brltian system, has not
tieen realised. Even interpellations of the
ministers are restricted to alleged viola
tion of the law and the apparent causes
of events.
The government believe it will control
the new Parliament and proposes to fight
further concessions to th radical parties.
That it expects to succeed is evident by
the fact that Premier Witte has definitely
changed his plans and will not retire on the
opening of the national assembly. He had
frequently declared that his task would
lie confined to tiding over the government
until the representative of the people were
convoked, but having accomplished thi
task, the revolutionary storm having some
what abated and conditions being altered,
he has decided to continue at the head of
the government.
