AMERA BATTERY ITO BE PRESENT
President Taft Wilt Accompany Suc
cessor to Capitol Grounds to
be Policed by City Officers
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. A coat
of white paint applied today to the
square reading desk from which
Woodrow Wilson will deliver his in
augural address March 4 constituted
one of the real "finishing touches" to
the great temporary structure that
has gone up on the east front of the"
Capitol in preparation for the inaug
uration. Across a stretch of asphalt pave
ment, carpenters are working on the
rampart-like stand from which the
battery of cameras and motion-picture
machines will be trained upon
the inaugural scene, but the managers
of affairs at the Capitol promise that
a week before the day of action prac
tically every detail of the arrange
ments at the Capitol will have been
completed.
Demands from photographers for
space on the camera stand have re
sulted in the erection of the structure.
Provision is made for at least 50 cam
eras. These will be trained upon the
square center platform rising a few
feet above the outside edge of the
immense 8000-seat stand, which
stretches back in a gentle rise to the
doors of the Capitol.
On available corners of the Capitol
and from the tops of the House and
Senate wings of the building, supple
mentary stands have been reared,
looking down upon the main struc
ture, and affording perches for Cap
itol employes and others who cannot
be accommodated on the main struc
ture. Days and nights of labor by the
joint Congressional Committee of
which Senator Crane is chairman, and
by E. L. Cornelius, sergeant-at-arms
of the Senate; Elliott Woods, super
intendent of the- Capitol, and Army
officers, representing the general in
augural committee, have resulted in
the arrangement of the most of the
details for the 'inauguration of President-elect
Wilsctn.
Under the reading stand at which
President Wilson will stand to ad
dress the crowd after he takes the
oath of office, is a concealed gate
that will swing open to allow him to
descend to his carriage without pass
ing through the crowd on the stands.
President Taft and President-elect
Wilson will pass into the Capitol up
. the broad steps of the Senate wing
and after the ceremonies will enter
the Senate chamber through the cen
tral door of the Capitol to the inaug
ural stand.
The entire arm of the Capitol
grounds will be policed on inaugura
tion day by the regular Washington
police. The Capitol police will be
withdrawn into the Capitol building
for protective purposes. The doors
of the Capitol, to which admission
may be had by special card only, are
to be turned over, however, to strange
doorkeepers, so that old friendship
and official prestige may have nothing
to do with breaking down the strict
rules of the day.
HOUSE COMMITTEE SAYS GOV
ERNMENT SHOULD SAVE
$2,000,000 YEARLY
DEPOSITORIES PAY NO INTEREST
Report Declares that Advertising by
National Banks for Deposits
Is Discriminatory
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Denun
ciation of the manner in which the
treasury department conducts its
business and thedeclaration that the
government has lost millions of dol
lars by "crude methods" were voiced,
today by the house committee on ex
penditures in the treasury depart
ment, which has completed its inves
tigation of fiscal operations and filed
its report.
"Interest amounting to 136,600,000,"
the report says, "has been lost to
the treasury in the last 26 years. The
treasury's handling of general sut
plus funds has been crude, unbusi
nesslike, unprofitable and discrimin
atory. A working balance of $25,000,
000 in the treasury is sufficient. The
government can increase its revenue
$2,000,000 a year by charging inter
est on the funds in government depos
itories;" Referring to the working balance,
the report says that large sums have
been necessarily retained in the
treasury, sometimes aggregating $100,
000,000. It adds that in addition to
the $36,000,000 lost by not collecting
interest, the government has lost on
the "excess balance'' retained in the
treasury for the last 26 years, figured
at 2 per cent, $47,610,860.
"The right accorded certain banks,"
the report says, "to act as govern
ment depositories is a discrimination
against all other banks not so des
ignated, and is a species of special
privilege and governmsnt favoritism."
The report urges legislation abol
ishing the depository sysem and the
substitution of a law which would
force banks to bid for government
deposits.
"There are now 436 depositories,"
the report "continues, "which secure
government, money without interest,
and these are selected solely at the
discretion of the secretary of the
treasury. There exists between such
banks and the treasury department
a complete understanding that the de
partment is not to deplete or with
draw its deposits."
The committee also held the per
mission granted to national banks to
advertise as government depositories
is also discriminatory, especially
when no interest is paid on deposits.
The committee declared it had not
decided whethed it would be consti
tutional for the government to reg
ulate stock exchanges.

TALMAGE PAINTINGS
SOLD FOR $298,000
NEW YORK, Feb. 21. Twenty-six
paintings of the John T. Talmage col
lection were sold for $298,000 as auc
tion here last night, the sale going
on record as notable for the total
realized from so few pictures. The
Romneys commanded the highest
prices. "A Lady of Quality" brought
$40,100, and "Portrait of Lady Eliza
beth Twisden" $32,000, both going to
dealers.
The only real record breaker of the
evening was the Turner, a little wat
ercolor "Fluelin" Lake of ' Lucerne,
painted in 1840 for the father of John
Ruskin. It went for $14,400, the high
est ever given as far as known, at a
public sale for this or any country for
a watercolor. A Corot, "Le Sentier
au Printemps" was knocked down for
$30,000.
The cash register of William Tru
dell's saloon at Sixth and Main Streets
was robbed Thursday night of $10.
The housebreaker entered through a
window on the Sixth Street side of
the building. When Carl Rothe, Vho
has the early shift arrived at a o'clock
Friday morning he discovered that a
thief had been in the place. Chief of
Police Shaw was -notified and is look
ing for the robber. So far as the in
vestigation has proceeded Mr. Trudell
has not found that the man .' made
away with any of his stock.

(Salem Daily Capital.)
Representative Schnoerr of Clack
amas County can well feel proud of
the honor paid him by the House last
night when it unanimously passed his
bill raising the salary of the county
school Superintendent in Clackamas
County. It was a tribute to the gen
eral worth and esteem in which his
fellow members hold him. Now, if
Mr. Schnoerr would only part with
his long whiskers, he could have any
thing ne wanted from the Legislature.

IS GREAT SUCCESS
So great was the success of the
Gladstone musicale, given Thursday
evening in the Gladstone Christian
Church, that the participants have
been asked to repeat it in Oregon
City soon. The musicale, which was
under the direction of Mrs. Thomas A. '
Burke, assisted by Mrs. Nieta Bar
low Lawrence and Gustave Flecht-
ner, was a rare treat and the people
of Gladstone showed thei- apprecia
tion of the artists by their hearty ap
plause and numerous encores. Mrs.
Burke, who is a pupil of Mrs. Nieta
Barlow Lawrence, pleased and charm
ed her audience with her beautiful, me
lodious soprano voice, her clear, bell
like tones showing such a strength
and ease of production. The "Flower
Song ' from" Faust, was a number
which especially pleased.
The "Passage Birds' Farewell" sung
by Mrs. Burke and Mrs. Lawrence,
was pa-icularly beautiful because of
the excellent blending qualities of
the two voices, Mrs. Lawrence's
smooth, contralto voice harmonizing
so well with that of Mrs. Burke's. A
great deal Of credit is due to the Glad
stone Quartet which showed its
ability by the finished way in which
it sang the "Sextette from Lucia."
Gustav Flechtner again was much
applauded for playing an I the mel
low tones of the violin were pleasing.
Garland Hollowell gave an excellent
interpretation of Mascheroni's "For
All Eternity", nis clear tenor com
pletely mastering that difficult song.
Miss Sadye Ford accompanied the
singers on the piano. The entire
program was a big success.. About
fifty Oregon City persons were pres
ent. "
