JnRton, Marrh 4. Acfordini? -to common
r port in Washington. Senator Bourne
is cxperiencir;? considerable difficulty in
gf-tting his Roosevelt press bureau under
way. !t is rumored that he has been
aided in this pro.iU by Henry B. Nerd
hain, chief promoter of the people's lobby
and y pIofc friend of the President. Mr.
Xeeiiham was to have Urrn editor-in-chief
and had general rharjye.
But a report of Mr. Xeedham's activity
reached the President and he is aaid to
have expressed such surprise and disgust
that -Mr. Needham has withdrawn, leav
ing Mr. Bmirnf without an editor. Mr.
Needham deems it more important to
preserve friendly relations with the Presi
dent than to Rain considerable glory In
Mr. Bournes bureau.
Mr. Bourne is therefore still looking for
a guiding spirit to direct his latest en
terprise. Several reputable newspaper
men have refused the Job. though It car
ries a salary of $50 per week.

OPTION BILL SPELLS RUIN
Chicago Board of Trade lias Con
ference With President.
WASHINGTON. March 4 A con
ference was held at' the White House
tonight between President Roosevelt and
a committee representing the Board of
Trade, of Chicago, headed by Hiram N.
Sager. president of that organization,
when the visitors laid before the presi
dent their views relating to anti-option
U'KiRiation pending in Congress. Most
of these hills are aimed at dealing In
futures, and It is the contentions of the
representation of the Board of Trade
that the measures, if enacted into law.
would jeopardise legitimate methods of
trade In agricultural prod nets. While
these bills affect both grain and cotton,
the Chicago Board representatives are
greatly Interested in the grain trade.
Speaking of the measures which have
been introduced in Congress, Mr. Sager
said:
"If these bills In their present form are
passed, they . will close the large grain
exchanges of the country and result in
a confusion and ultimate Hss to grain
interests. Including merchants, fanners
and others.'
The members of the committee de
clined to say what took place at the con
ference beyond the statement that the
president would take the matter under
consideration.
11EVBVKX RAPS FINANCIERS
Condemns Aldrieh BUI as Medicine
t.ivcu After Recovery.
WASHINGTON. March 4. Currency
legislation was the subject of considera
tion in the Senate today. Hey burn op
posed the Aldrich bill and declared It was
useless and he Would not vote for it.
Ueyburn laid great stress upon what he
declared was the wrong principle of
allowing security to be ucd as a basis
for emergency circulation. He declared
that only bonds that have the taxing
power back of them should be used for
that purpose. The passage of the bill
now. he said, was like giving a man medi
cine after he had recovered from an ill
ness. He said the so-called panic was
only a nightmare and. if linaneiers are
ffien to understand that they cannot
depend upon Government assistance in
such cases they are more apt to conduct
their affairs on a sound basis and thus
prevent panics. He took the ground
that the result of the bill might he to
supplant the present currency with the
emergency bills, as the bills, once In
circulation, could not readily be called
back.
"let us say to those financial jugglers.
said Heyburn. "you are not to have more
currency when you have unlawfully used
the money you have, nor an elastic cur
rency that shall be in keeping with your
conscience."
He said he had never felt his breast
swell with gratitude toward the financiers
In Xew York, who had been given credit
for saving the situation.
Perkins spoke at length in support of
' the bill.
Baitey stated that he would speak on
t lie hill Monday and Depew will speak on
Friday. AMreh announced that he hoped
to have a vote on the measure next Wcd
nsday. A canvass of the Senate made to
ascertain the sentiment in regard to the
hill indicates that there will be morn
Democratic Senators for it than Repub
lican Senators against it. Since the
speech by Smith of Michigan in opposi
tion to thv railroad bond feature it has
been stated persistently that there is a
Republican defeetton that endangers the
passage of the bill.
COt LD DIG IT IX THREE YEARS
But Canal Construction Will All Re
Finished Tojrether.
WASHINGTON. March 4. fp to March
1. .414.i4 cubic yards of excavation had
been taken from the Panama. Canal route.
This is Just one-fifth of the entire
amount that was estimated May 1. li-M,
thut would be required to be excavated
to complete the waterway, namely. 142.
ow.nm cubic yards, in round numbers.
Should the oik proceed at the presi
rate, it is estimated the remaining ex- j
cavaiion would be completed in three j
years.
However. It is thought the work of ex- J
cavation will not be oushed to comole-
tion. but that meanwhile construction
Of the locks will proceed, the intention
of the Commission being to. finish all
parts of the canal construction at about
the same time.
rsotwitnstanuing mat -mere were rwo

DEBATE COVERS THE VXT VERSE
House Hangs .Miscellaneous Talk
on Postoffice Bill.
WASHINGTON. March 4. The post
office appropriation bill technically was
under consideration in the House today,
but the discussion under license of gen
eral debate took a wide range. Specula
tion in cotton, finance, the tariff and a
number of miscellaneous matters in turn
occupied the whole time of the session.
Sims (Tenn.) spoke in favor of the
Burleson bill to abolish dealings in cot
ton futures; Chaney find.) and Lind
berg (Minn.) talked on the financial ques
tion ; Hitchcock f Neb.) pleaded for plac
ing on the free list of wood pulp and
print paper, and several others secured
the floor for brief periods.
General debate on the post office appro
priation bill will conclude tomorrow at
3 o'clock, when it will be read for amend
ment. Declaring that the practices of the New
York Cotton Exchange were intolerable
and that the cotton-growers of the South
had determined to use all lawful means
to end them. Sims advocated the passage
of the Burleson bill, prohibiting the use
of mails, telegraph and telephone service
in dealing in cotton future.

DIVIDEXD OX COPPER STOCKS
Kccluction of 50 Per Cent Results In
Immediate Drop.
BOSTON, March 4. The directors of
the Calumet & Hecla Mining Company
today declared a quarterly dividend of to
a share as against the last quarterly
dividend of 110.
One of the directors of the company
said today that the company had very
little copper on hand and even sales for
that little were slow. He declared that
copper could not be produced in Amer
ica in sufficient quantities at 13 cents a
pound to satisfy the demand. Since the
price of copper declined below 13 cents a
pound some weeks ago. the Calumet &
Hecla Company had practically with
drawn from the market.
The corresponding dividend of a year
nfto was $20. There was an immediate
decline In Calumet following the an
nouncement of the reduced dividend. At
noon. Calumet was quoted at J5.01. a
drop of 49 points from the last sale at
$e.50 and 31 points from yesterday's
closing bid. It is understood that the
reaction in dividend was made as a
conservative step in view of an uncertain
selling market.

from Montgomery as a retainer.

Raid Gambling
Den
Long Unmolested.
BATTER DOWN ALL DOORS
Capture of Stronghold of Oriental
Gamesters Effected by Sensa
tional Methods Xot One of
Victims Escapes Arrest.
In a raid made last night on S7 Second
street 30 Chinamen were arrested and
taken tc the police station, charged with
gambling. The raid was made by De
tectives Kay and Smith, assisted by Po
liceman Keinlen. who formerly was ue
toilrd on this work In Chinatown.
Although it is understood that the sup
pression of all forms of Chinese gam
bling is in the hands of Detectives Price
and Coleman, the raid made last night
does not indicate that Kay and Keinlen
are back again on the Chinatown beat.
It was explained by the police officials
that the reason that the raid had been
made by these men was because they
had information which would lead to a
coup and they were instructed to make
the raid. The capture of the 10 men was
about as sensational a brush as the Chi
nese and police have ever had. The room
in which the men were arrested is on
the top floor of No. S" Second street, but
it has passageways leading to several
of the adjoining houses, through the
solid brick walls of which doorways have
been cut.
These entrances" are protected by doors
six inches thick. In one passageway
leading to this gambling-room the prog
ress of the raiding officers was obstructed
by no less than three of ' these thick
doors, which were not more than two
or three feet apart. These had to be
battered down with sledge-hammers, i he
detectives caught their men by approach
ing this room from all three entrances
and thus prevented escape. When the
Chinese found they were caught and
could not get out, they laughed and said
that they would send for their attor
ney. In a few moments this worthy ap-,
peared as if by magic, or as if he had
been waiting ajround the corner to . be
notified. .
The Chinese were found with all lie
paraphernalia of the fantan game in
their possession. They were not locked
up at the police station, as the proprie
tor of the place came at once and depos
ited bail for all those arrested, for tne
players as well as the paid employes who
ran the game.
The raid on No. 87 caused a sensation
in the Chinese quarter. It has been com
mon rumor for many months that tntan
was played day and night in this house.

Jerome's Detectives Trap Jacobson's
Man Taking Money From
Indicted Banker.
NEW YORK, March 4. Nathan Vida
vere, a special deputy Attorney-General,
was arrested today, charged with at
tempted extortion. The action was
brought by District Attorney Jerome, who
alleges that Vidavere. by threats, got
$500 from William Montgomery, ex-president
of the Hamilton Bank, and now un
der indictment on charges of over-certification.
Montgomery and Vidavere lunched to
gether at the Astor House today and
during the meal, in fulfillment of a pre
arranged plan. flve$100 bills were passed
by the indicted banker, it Is alleged, to
the deputy Attorney -General. The bills
had been marked and were subsequently
identified by detectives. 1
When arraigned in court Vidavere said
that the $500 received was a retainer fee
prospective and proper legally a such.
He said he met Montgomery at the re
quest of a friend. The deputy was held
In $3000 bail for appearance tomorrow.
His bail bond was furnished by Gross
man, who. with his partner, was imme
diately subpenaed to tell what they knew
of the case.
Vidavere was born in Boston 41 years
ago. He was educated in San Fran
cisco and is a graduate of the law school
of the University of California. In 1897
he came to New York and opened a law
office. In 1905 he -was a candidate for a
Supreme Court Justiceship on the Inde
pendence League ticket.
Tonight Attorney-General Jackson said
he made Vidavere a deputy that he might
take charge of the investigation into the
purchase of Missena Park, in Queens
County. Mr. Jackson said that Vida
vere had done no other work for his
office and that he was in no way asso
ciated with the Attorney-General's in
quiry into banking matters.

makes the statement for the first time
that the first persons to try to induce
him to accept immunity and give testi
mony against the . others indicted were
ex-Supervisors James L. Gallagher and
Andrew M. Wilson.
The purpose of this affidavit, he says,
is to show the court that he gave up an
important safeguard In the French res
taurant cases because he had faith in
the word of the prosecution, when they
later offered him Immunity, and he
signed a contract with them. He says
that on May 15. 1907. he made the stipu
lation that he was to be given immunity
upon tiie dismissal of his application
for bail, pending before the Supreme
Court. Detective .Bums, he says, in

PIANO OWNERS OFTEN
NEGLECT INSTRUMENTS
.
Valuable Pointers Regarding the Care
of a Piano.
Very few piano owners realize the
necessity of havinja: their piano care
fully timed, adjusted and inspected
regularly. This is especially true with
the high-grrade instruments, which are
delicately adjusted.
It is absolutely necessary to keep the
pitch of the instrument true. A piano
may sound in fairly good tune and still
be a fourth to a half tone above or
below the pitch or tension it is built to
sustain. In such cases the piano can
not produce the quality or amount of
tone intended.
Not only should it be properly tuned,
but the action should also be carefully
inspected and, if necessary, adjusted.
There is also danger of the hammers
and feit cushions becoming moth-ridden.
Quite a number of instruments
have been greatly damaged by this
little insect.
Rv bvina:.the piano carefully and
regularly Inspected, this latter evil "can
be overcome.
A piano should be tuned, adjusted and
inspected not less than twice a year,
and then only by men who are known
to be exports in their line.
PIAXOS SOMETIMKS RCIXED
Many a fine piano has been ruined
