casts Hard Battle on In-
Junction Bill.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Although Con
gress hap been in lesion nearly three
months, none. of the party leaders has
come forward -with a prediction of the
time of final adjournment. The uncer
tainty is due chiefly to the opposition to
Kme of the Administration measures.
Regardless of the fact that the dicup
jlon probably will be extended over a
long period on most of the bills on which
the President has his heart set. it is be
lieved they ultimately 'will be enacted.
This Is true- ap to the interstate commerce
bill, two of the conservation measures,
court injunction legislation and the portal
pavings bank bill. The statehood bill, it
Is feared, will be severely attacked by
Senator Beveridge who will report the
Senate measure, expresses the opinion
that it will not fail.
Pinchot Arouses. Interest.
The sensational testimony given by ex
.Cblef Forester Pinchot before the Bal-llnger-Pinohot
investigating committee is
attracting unusual attention. Sr. Pinchot
will resume the stand Tutsay. The com
- mittee will meet Tuesday, Friday and
Saturday of this week ayd the indications
are no other witnesses will testify during
that time.
. The Senate cost of living investi
gating committee has completed its
working programme and it is likely
that night and day sessions will be
held. It is suggested Senator Percy
may have, , this important task thrust
upon him when he arrives to succeed
Colonel James Gordon, of Mississippi.
Practically no business will be done
in the Senate, except the consideration
of appropriation bills, until after the
vote on Thursday on the postal savings
bank bill.
' Bitter Figlit Expected.
The next bill of Importance to be
considered is the interstate commerce
measure, already reported from the
committee, although the report of the
majority has not been prepared. The
fact that it will be accompanied with
the views of the minority forecasts a
bitter fight. Attorney-General Wiek
ersham will appear tomorrow before
the House committee on interstate
commerce and expects to complete his
statement on the bill then.
Representative Townsend, of Michi
gan, who is the special champion of
th President's measure, is seeking to
have the bill reported without amend
ment as was accomplished in tjie Sen
ate. The statement made by President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, In opposition to the Moon
bill, relating to court injunctions, ac
counted one of the Administration bills.
Indicates "that this measure, also will
be strongly opposed. ..

Hearing Resumes Today.
The grand jury will reassemble at the
Federal building tomorrow morning, fol
lowing the over-Sunday recess. The Fed
eral lawyers will have a dozen witnesses
on hand for examination and the work is
expected to move along rapidly during
the week.
Mr. 6ims and Assistant District Attor
neys Wilkerson and Godman, with Oliver
H Pagan, the Government's indictment
expert, spent much time today at the
Federal building. The lawyers, it is said,
are compiling a summary of the evidence
thus far secured.
Mr. Pagan is keeping in close touch
with Attorney-General Wiekersham at
"Washington, and if indictments are drawn
It la possible that they will be forwarded
to Mr. Wiekersham for investigation be
fore; being returned formally in court by
the grand Jury.
Indictments Xearlng Chicago.
Copies of the indictments voted against
the packers In New Jersey will reach
Chicago tomorrow, when it is probable
the "Indicted men and their lawyers will
hold a conference. The question of fight
ing extradition, should Governor Fort
of New Jersey, issue such papers, will
he discussed with other subjects bearing
on the case.
Representatives of the packers de
clared,' however, that the legal end of
the New Jersey fight is being handled
mainly from New York, where all pre
liminary steps will be settled.
Although a majority of the packers
were In the city today, none of them
would make a statement regarding the
packers' side of the beef situation. All
are Inclined, apparently, to hold hands
off and let charges and rumors run their
course.
"Trust Buster" Acts.
. Attorney Garvan, who is handling the
probe In New Jersey, has a reputation
second to none as a "trust buster," and
there is a general feeling in this city
that he must have strong grounds for
prosecution of the beef barons. He
whipped . the Standard Oil octopus into
submission, and is generally considered
a man who lays his mines thoroughly
before lighting the fuse.
RESISTANCE MAY BE FUTILE
Prosecutor Garvin Says He Will
Fight Packers' Every Move.
NEW YORK. Feb. 27 (Special.)
Prosecutor Garvin, of Hudson County,
N. J., said tonight the decision of the
directors of the beef trust to disregard
capiases and resist extradition will not
cause him to change his plans.
"I shall fix a date for the appearance
of the Indicted men," he said, "and
should they fail to respond, capiases
will be issued for their arrest. Of
course extradition proceedings will be
Instituted if necessary. If my efforts
to get the defendants into court are
unsuccessful I shall turn all the evi
dence on which the indictments were
based over to the Federal authorities
for use In their Investigation of the
beef trust. No matter what may bo
the outcome of the criminal proceed
ings I shall take steps to. have the cor

Hurry to Meet Colonel.
"TEDDY" NEAR KHARTOUM
Receptions There and at Capitals of
Europe Will Par Outshine Any
thing; Before cr Since Days of
Grant Rome Waiting.
NAPLES. Feb. 27. (Special.) Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt and Miss Ethel Roose
velt arrived from New York today on
board the steamer Hamourg. They are
stopping at the Hotel Excelsior and de
part on Friday by the Schlesweig for
Port Said, whence they will proceed to
Khartoum to meet Mr. Roosevelt about
March 7. "
As the Hamburg was coming into port,
she crashed into the tng Boio, which
had put out to bring her to her anchor
age. The Boio sunk, but her crew was
saved.
Reception Has Been Royal.
Never before or since the days of Presi
dent Grant has eo great honor been be
stowed on an ex-President of the United
States than that which has been and will
be accorded Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
when he reaches Khartoum next week,
and later in the capitals? of Europe.
The reception at Khartoum, it is said,
will far outshine anything which has
been given the popular American since
his entrance into Africa on his hunting
trip last year. He is now the guest of
General Sir Reginald Wingate, sirdar of
the Egyptian army, on board the official
launch, the trip down the Nile being
made slowly.
From Cairo it is expected the ex-President
will journey to Rome, where he has
been invited to ppeak before the Metho
dist Episcopal Church body. Unusual in
terest is manifested here over the prob
able action of Mr. Roosevelt in Rome, as
a result of the recent international epi
sode in connection with the recent visit
of tx-Vice-President Charles W. Fair
banks there, when the Pope refused to
see him, after the American had ac
cepted an invitation to speak before the
Methodist Church.
Roosevelt May Call on Pope First.
It is believed that Mr. Roosevelt will
pay his respects to Pope Pius before
he makes his address to the church,, if
he accepts the atter's invitation at all.
From Rome Mr. Roosevelt and party
will Journey to Paris, where the Ameri
can Society and the French Academy of
Sciences will- be hosts. The arrival In
Paris will be about the first of May.
On May 15 Mr. Roosevelt will speak
In .Berlin and pay his respects to Em
peror Wilhelm, who holds ex-President
Roosevelt in high esteem, and who has
often expressed a desire "to meet this
wonderful man."
After Berlin will come a hurried trip
to Chrlstlania, Norway, where Mr.
Roosevelt will speak before the Nobel
peace prize committee, which honored
him with the Nobel medal two years
ago for hiB labors In behalf of further
ing the world's peace.
Norway to Hear Peace-Believer.
From Norway the party will hasten
to England, and plans are now laid to
said from Liverpool early in June in
order to reach New York in time for
the wedding of Theodore, Jr., and Miss
Alexander, whose engagement was' an
nounced two weeks ago.
From letters which " have reached
here, the ex-President has expressed
his keen appreciation of the courtesy
with which everywhere he has been
treated by the government officials,
settlers, missionaries, traders and ele
phant hunters, who have not only
treated him royally at every stop, but
have aided him greatly, he says, in his
scientific research work.
MOVE MADE TO BAR JAPS
(Concluded From Page 1.)
there is deep concern for fear the bill
may reach such a state as to embarrass
the administration, and once more
bring about strained relations with
Japan.
Administration Is Pacific.
The present administration Is Just as
anxious to preserve friendly relations
with Japan.
The Hayes bill, which is causing so
much concern, provides. In simple terms,
for the exclusion of all aliens who can
not, under our laws, become natural
ized citizens of the United States. It
is true the bill would affect others
than Japanese, but the fact remains
that the Japanese would be most gen
erally affected, and the representatives'
of the Japanese government are well
aware of the true purpose of the legis
lation, and have so advised their gov
ernment. Representative Hayes, the author of
this bill, is single-minded on two ques
tions Japanese exclusion and the de
feat of Speaker Cannon. He is equal
ly rabid on both subjects, and will work
24 hours a day to promote either
project. When he is not fighting the
Speaker, he is agitating the Japanese
question, and vice versa. According
to Hayes, every white man, woman and
child on the entire Pacific Coast, and,
in fact, west of the Rocky Mountains,
is living in mortal terror of the Japan
ese, and it is easy to depict, from
Hayes" tales, the time when the Japs
will overrun the entire western part
of the United States, and drive out the
native population. It is such argument
as this that he uses to advance his
legislation, and to work up anti-Japanese
sentiment in Congress.
Senate Will Kill Bill.
But although he succeeded In swaying
the House committee on immigration,
he will probably have lltle success with
his bill in the Senate, for that body Is,
in the main, working in harmony with
the Administration this Winter, an
will not for a minute give serious con
sideration to the Hayes bill, especially
now that its purpose has been made
made clear.
The Administration wishes to avoid,
at the present time at least, any sus
picion that it is deliberately undertak
ing to offer affront to "the Japanese
government." It is realized that the
unfriendly feeling engendered In the
last Administration was not entirely
wiped out when the battleships made
their famous trip around the world.
The bad feeling was perhaps intensi
fied when Secretary Knox questioned
the grood faith of-the Japanese govern
ment In maintaining the open door In
Manchuria, and stil further provoked
when the Secretary of State proposed
the neutralization of the trans-Man-churian
railroad, owned jointly by
Japan and Russia.
Fear Not Ruling Motive.
It Is not to be understood that this
Administration, any more than the
Roosevelt Administration, is fearful of
Japan, or is ready to submit to humiliation-
in order to avoid conflict with
Japan. But President Taft, like his
predecessor, sees many great trade ad
vantages to be gained If friendly rela
tions between the Governments can be
maintained, and he has given assurance
to representatives of the Japanese gov
ernment of the frienaiy attitude of
this Government.
Therefore, he Is anxious that Con
gress shall not, In a moment of excite
ment, be carried off its feet by the
clamorlngs of one of the wildest men
In Congress, merely because, that man
happens to be a crank upon a certain
subject.
In other words, at the present time,
the President believes .greater advant
age will accrue to the Uuited States as
a whole through maintaining honorable
and friendly relations with Japan than
can possibly come from excluding ab
solutely all Japanese, and thereby en-,
dangering a large and growing for
eign trade.
Japan Now Co-operating.
Particularly does the Administration
dislike the Hayes bill at the present
time because of the efforts that have
been made by the Japanese government
to keep Its people at home, and be
cause those efforts have been very
largely successful.
As a matter of fact, since President
Roosevelt took up this question with
the Mikado's government, very few
Japanese, if any, have come to the
United States to establish residence.
On this practical ground, and so long
as this condition continues, it is argued
the Hayes bill is superfluous and un
necesary. Because its chief aim is to provoke
trouble, it will undoubtedly fail of enactment.
MIND, LOMG BLANK, IS BACK
Restoration of Woman, Sank in
Melancholia Is Puzzle.
DETROIT, Mich.,' Feb. 27. After ten
years of unbroken melancholia Mrs.
Alexander Tannenholi has suddenly" been
restored to perfect mental and physical
health. Her case puzzles physicians
and acquaintances.
Ten years ago Mrs. Tannenholz was
active In the social life of the city.
Suddenly a pall fell over her mind. She
lost Interest in everything and experts
said her case was ' hopeless. At times
she did not even recognize members of
her household.
Two weeks ago she entered the
kitchen where her daughter was pre
paring a meal. With no signs of
strangeness she took up the task of
preparing the dinner as she had done
ten years ago before her Illness. Her
mind is completely recovered.
Mrs. Tannenholz is SO- years of age
and yet such a blank have the ten years
of living death been - that she. looks
barely more than '40. She recalls her
long period of helplessness as a dream.

Failing These, May Resign.
BT T. P. O'CONNOR.
(Coypright. 1010, by the Tribune Company.
Chicago.)
LONDON, Feb. 27. The .controversy
with regard to tactics which Is now
taking place among us is an instance
of how friends with the same political
object may differ vehemently as to the
best methods of carrying these objects
to realization. Summarized, the con
troversy is veto first or budget first.
The advocates of the budget . first
argue that it is impossible to submit
the nation any longer to the vast loss
of income .which comes from the in
ability to levy the new taxes which the
budget imposes.
The original plan of the ministry was
to pass the budget hrst and very sum
marily. No amendment would be al
lowed and debate would be held to the
very narrowest possible limits. And
the moment the budget was out of the
way, the decks were to be cleared for
action, and in order further to proclaim
to the country that the Ministry was
about to enter upon the campaign
against the Lords with heart and reso
lution and to pursue it to the bitter
end. Parliament was to get a month's
vacation, while the Ministry was pre
paring its anti-House of Lords bi.l.
and when Parliament reassembled it
was to face the anti-House of Lords
bill and that alone.
Others Like Programme.
Singularly enough and this is what
first raised the Radical suspicions
this programme recommended itself to
the Unionists as well. They began to
proclaim that they were quite ready
to accept the budget, and the Lords
even let it be understood that their op
position to the budget came to an end
with the general election and the ob
vious approval of the budget by the
country. Budget first and veto after,
then became, the watchword of such di
verse forces as the members of the
Ministry and the Unionist leaders and
the House of Lords.
But veto first and budget afterwards
became at the same time the watch
word of the other and very different
forces. The Radical wing of the Lib
eral party at once caught at it as the
one guarantee of completing the de
feat of the Lords. Some newspapers
took up the cry very ardently, and
finally there came to the aid of these
forces the big battalions of the Irish
Nationalist and the Labor parties. The
Irish, In particular, were emphatic in
the demand for the 'veto first and the
budget second. Their attitude was
forced on them by. the state of f.eeling
in their own country. The exaspera
tion against Lloyd-George's budget is
not altogether reasonable and it has
been manufactured largely by the gi
gantic lies told with regard to its pro
vision by the factlonists.
Ireland Gets Worked Up.
When, therefore, the budget of Lloyd
George attacked such widespread in
terests in Ireland as the big whisky
distilleries on the one hand and the
small and very numerous liquor sellers
on the other, the exasperation against
British taxation in Ireland reached the
point of white heat.
If the Ministry refused to pass the
budget until it had got the veto, then of
course the first thing to be done was to
get guarantees from the King that the
anti-veto . bill against the Lords should
be carried into law that is to say. that
the King should promise to create, if need
be, the hundreds of peers necessary to
transform the Unionist majority in the
House of Lords into a Liberal majority.
If the Ministers did not get these guar
antees, then there was but one course
left to them, and that was to resign and
hand over their offices to the King and
let him find somebody else to take them
up and carry on things for him.
It is calculated by those who urge this
course on the Liberal Ministers that Mr.
Balfour would refuse to take office under
such .circumstances. He would have to
try either to govern In a House of Com
mons where he would be at the mercy
of the Irish vote or he would have to
call for a new election Immediately.
Another Election Not "Wanted.
And no party In the country after the
exhaustion, both of energy and of funds
which a general election costs has any
great desire to repeat the process imme
diately. Besides, it is doubtful if a gen
eral election, taken now. would so far
improve the position of Balfour that he
could carry one. He might win some
more seats, but it is difficult to believe
that he could form a Ministry which
would be strong enough to be Independ
ent of the Irish vote. If Balfour de
clined to form a Ministry, then the King
would be obliged to call Asquith back
again and equally he would be obliged to
give Asquith the guarantees without
which Asquith would refuse to serve. In
this way it is calculated that the veto
of the Lords would be crushed, and
crushed soon.
On the other hand. It is quite possible
that the Prime Minister may be refused
the guarantees necessary for the pass
age of his veto bill. And one can well
imagine very good reasons which could
be advanced in . favor of the Sovereign
refusing to do so that, for example, he
was not sure the veto bill would pass
the House of Commons; that he was not
sure it would be rejected by the House
of Lords; in short, that the contingency
had not yet arisen. If Mr! Asquith were
met by such an attitude there would be
no choice for him but to resign. Resig
nation in such conditions might be un
fortunate, but it would at least preserve
the Premier's dignity and, what is more
important, the cohesion and spirit of his
party.

colored. For Instance, the water of the
Mediterranean S3a is not colorless, but
green-blue; also there is a brilliant red
river in South America. The St. Law
rence, in Canada, is pale green, and the
Ottawa golden brown; where these two
rivers meet quite frequently whole broad
patches remain unmixed. Here Is a gold
patch and there a green one. Otherwise
than this, water reflects the colors of its
surroundings, and a so-called "'emerald
pool." in the White Mountains, is green
because the birches on its borders in
early Summer are brilliant green. The
Blue Grotto, In Capri. Italy, shows a re
markably rich color, near to green-blue,
because all the light received In that
grotto comes through the water at its en

is green-blue.' The water of the geysers

by natural mineral dyes. You can dye

Waste of Drinking Water.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The engineer who has been brought
from Cleveland to assist the water com
missioner of New York In solving the
problem of waBte regards this as really
the one problem of the water service.
He believes that 46 per cent of the water
supplied to Manhattan and the Bronx is
wasted, and that if the . waste were
checked the new aqueduct from the
Catskills would not be needed. The av
erage dally supply in New York !s 135
gallons for each inhabitant. If 45 per
cent of this be waste, it follows that Tii
gallons per capita would be sufficient.
London uses only 36 gallons, but Amer
