The bill to Incorporate the Rockefeller Foundation Was ordered favorably reported at an executive session of the Senate District of Colombia committee after a state ment by Starr J. Murphy, representa tive of John D. Rockefeller. Little additional light was thrown by Mr. Murphy on Mr. Rockefeller's Durpose In asking; for a Federal char ter. He explained that Mr. Rockefeller merely desired to extend and broaden the scope of his philanthropies by establishing a foundation along rhe lines of the General Education Board, which was chartered by Congress in T603. f Rockefeller's Plans Unformed. " The amount which he expected to give for the purpose of the foundation has net been determined, said Mr. Mur phy. Mr. Rockefeller might start with Rj modest sum and increases it as he had done in other philanthropies, or he might give a large amount at the start. Answering criticisms made by Dr. Devlne, head of charity organizations ia New York, Mr. Murphy said If public rien were on the board they might find themselves frequently embarrassed by receiving appeals Indorsed by Govern ors of states or others of prominence. Who would expect such cases to be Iven especial attention. f Many Begging -Otters Come. '.'I have' received more' than' "a hun dred such letters since the pending bill was Introduced," interrupted Senator Galltnger, "starting with one man who asks for $25, the letters range all the way up to the proposition of another for $500,000." i"Your case la similar to mine," re sponded Mr. Murphy. "I have a letter from a lady who asks to be supplied with a set of false teeth, and others seeking sums all the way up to J16G. 090.000." n Senator Carter asked If It would not be well to specify sn the charter that personal property and funds of the cor poration be exempted from taxes in the District of Columbia and the ter ritories. Mr. Murphy thought there could be no objection and the commit tee later favorably reported the bill With that change. WAR UNDER TWO FLAGS Call of Adventure Under Foreign Colors Brightens History.

The Dutch Government took a deservedly prominent part in tne re cent celebration of the Hudson-Fulton centennial, but Hudson was an Eng lishman who sailed under the -flag of Holland, and while he was not a sol dier of fortune in the belligerent sense of the word, he was one of the world's greatest adventurers who won his fame under a foreign standard. Christopher Columbus was an Italian, who- discov ered or rediscovered--a continent and planted on the sands of the Western World the banner of Spain. Apparent ly, Indubitable and exhaustive re searches by Minnesota historians and scientists have proved that Columbus came here centuries after the Scan dinavians discovered America, whose very name was derived from that of another Italian.

GERMANY'S WAR STRENGTH Has Army of 4,000,000 and. Most , - Modern Equipments. London Cor. New York Sun. The military correspondent of the Times In reviewing the position of the German army gives some interesting par ticulars of its development during recent years. Of the imperial budget of $712, 600.000 for the financial year ending March. 31, 1910, the sum allotted for army expenditures was $202,500,000. This does not .represent the whole of the army charges, which are nearer $250,000,000. The peace strength of the German arrrty has "risen during the past year to 620,000 men of all ranks and 11,820 horses. The number of reservists called out for training during the year has risen to 456,398, excluding officers, or an increase of more than 110,000 over the figures for 1908. The German plan Is to train each soldier twice for 14 days while in the re serve and once for 14 days while in the landwehr. The number of reservists recalled "dur ing the year for training has risen of late at the rate of 80,000 a year, and will con, tlnue to rise until the plan Is in full opJ e ration. ThnB there are and hereafter will be more than 1,000.000 men under arms at one time or another each year. Tha year 1907 is the last for which complete statistics of recruiting have been .published. The recruits examined numbered 1,189,845, among whom there were 632.092 of the age of 20 who were examined -for the- first time. In all, 435, 33 werev -Incorporated in the army forces, JOHN D. Including ; 232,661 m the active army and 10,374 In the navy. About one-half of the army ' recruits were 20 and the remainder 21 or 22. There were only 2-100 of 1 per cent of illiter ates. Voluntary engagements numbered 53.900 for the army and 3839 for the navy. "Germany leads the world in aero nautics," says this writer, "and the past year has only confirmed her supremacy in the air. Her aerial fleet consists of 12 dirigible, systems Zeppelin, Farseval and Gross, while there are 15 other dirigibles In private hands susceptible of being re quisitioned. "It is thought that the cone of explor ation of the dirigibles is already greater than that open to a cavalry division. It has, moreover, been openly stated that exploration by dirigibles will not await a declaration of war: - "In many other directions ther has been steady progress in preparing the army for war. The officers at the war school have been Increased from 400 to 480. A census- of motor carriages has shown that there are 41.727 of all classes available for requisition, and during the maneuvers of last year great use was made of them and also of motorcyclists, who will probably toe formed Into spe cial corps. "Excluding 3,000.000 untrained or super ficially trained landsturm .and ersatz re serve, there are over 4.000,000 trained soldiers now available for war, and there are over 6000 field guns. It has not. however, been the custom of the German staff hitherto to rely so much upon quan tity as upon quality. "it will be with young and highly trained men aged from 21 to 27 that the first great blow will be struck in case of war, and all attention has been con centrated upon making the first echelon of the army as perfect as human effort can compass. The record for the last year shows that from almost every point of view the German army continues to receive constant accessions of mat terlal and moral strength."

TAFT HAS LOST INTEREST Threats to Defeat Members Who Voted .Jfo Arouso Opposition and ' Assure Safe Majority for Ul timate Defeat of BilL OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, March 11. The ship subsidy bill Is apparently dead, so far as the present session is concerned, and the same Is probably true of the short session next Winter. The bill Is killed by its friends. t When the present session opened and President Taft expressed a desire for legislation to aid In the upbuilding of the American merchant marine, friends of ship subsidy took heart, and were strongly Inclined to believe that their pet legislation would at last be writ ten upon the statute books. Efforts were at once put forth by the advo cates of such legislation to get early action In both houses of Congress. Attacks Are Fatal. But as the Administration's legisla tive programme was developed and it was found that some of the things desired would have to be put over for future consideration, the President began to lose Interest in the subsidy bill, for there were other measures he preferred, and from that day the chances of the subsidy bill, have dwin dled. It was not, however, until the ship subsidy lobby began to attack members of the House who were op posed to the bill that Its fate was abso lutely sealed. ' That bold move was the last straw; It stiffened the backs of a score or more of members who were In doubt what course to take with regard to the subsidy bill, and gave the oppon ents of the measure a sure and safe majority against the bill in (he House of Representatives. The Merchant Marine. League, which Is in -all practical manners a well or ganized ybby, undertook to coerce members of - the House' who opposed the ship subsidy bill. . It went further and threatened to prevent the renom inatlon or re-election of such mem bers, and It was clearly to be Inferred that the league, or Its representatives, proposed to spend money to accomplish that end. Whoever was at the head of this movement made the grievous error of selecting for defeat represent atives who are particularly strong In' their districts, and men whose con stituents do not believe in subsidy legislation. Moreover, the men marked for slaughter, without exception, happened to be men of a type whose reputation has never been assailed, and men whose records for Integrity were without blemish. Offense Not to Be Forgiven. The exploitation on the floor of the House of the activities of the ship sub sidy lobby and its purpose to defeat members who were opposed to the sub sidy bill had the effect of changing sev eral votes. Incidentally it aroused a large percentage of the membership of the House, and until the incident is for gotten (if it can be forgotten) and until the bold lobbyists have been eliminated, there is no chance for ship subsidy legis lation in -the House of Representatives. The Senate may pass the bill, and the House committee may report it, but that is as far as it will get. Not even Presi dent Taft is likely to take hold and push this bill so long a a set of corruptionists is behind it. threatening to defeat Re publican Congressmen who do not believe in It. AVENUE STAGE SAVES CAT New York Crowd' Assembles to Watch Rescue oT Tom. NEW YORK. March. ' Lower Fifth avenue and Washington Square turned out to .watch the rescue of a cat from the upper branches of an elm tree in the yard of the Church of the Ascen sion, Fifth avenue and Eleventh street. The cat had been In the tree 24 hours and was hungry and cold when it was taken to the shelter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to. Animals. Louis Van Ness, of 287 West Fourth street, and a young woman, early Sat urday night heard cries from the cat and saw It in the tree. They saw it again yesterday and reported the ani mal's plight. , A dogcatcher was sent to the church yard. He obtained a long ladder, which proved to be too short. He got a longer ladder and that was tod short, also, as was a third ladder. The man was about to send In an alarm for the fire department wnen a Fifth-avenue automobile stage came along.

Critical Study of a Type Unknown In America. Harper's. There Is a flavor about the London costermonger and his donah (sweetheart) which we quite lack in our Bowery char acters. The coster's life Is really pathetic when observed by one given to benevo lence; but it seldom seems at all pathetic to this Jolly roisterer of the gutter marts of London. That inimitable British actor. Chevalier, has portrayed him vividly in London's music halls, and made of the coster, his donkey and barrow a pleasant recollection -to many Americans. The genesis of the coster Is not always a matter of adopting the occupation of his class. While the fathers and grand fathers of many costers were costermon gering before them, we often find the ranks recruited by actors, artists, solici tors stricken from the rolls, ex-shopkeepers, broken brokers, and even doc tors. Their stock in trade Is generally composed of fruit, vegetables, fish, candy, meat, bread, winkles, mussels, etc., the perishable nature of which in combina tion with a series of wet days when the poor will not come out to buy. frequent ly -wrecks the few shillings fortune of these hustling little punters who are often separated by only a few meals from destitution. At 4 in the morning sixty-odd thousand of them leave their one-room nests where the "Missis" and her brood are abed oh the floor, and hurry off to Covent Garden to buy a thousand pounds - of fruit at auction and push It to their beats,' often many miles away. In the cold, gray mist of a winter day. The coster Is not al ways alone, for sometimes the "Missis" or a partner helps him sell his wares. If he sells out after 16 hours of trudging the streets and pushing his barrow, his weary life has attained to complete hap piness until the uncertainties of the next day again level his spirit, a spirit forever rising to be knocked down. If he ever ac quires a golden sovereign he must go"on "a bust with the Missis and the kiddles," or with his affianced "filly." He may, on the other hand, express the Innate benevolence of his kind by restocking some unfortunate coster whom bad weather or some ill luck has stranded. STATE MAKES PROTEST OLYMPIA SENDS DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON. Legislation Affecting Right to Valu able Lands Will Be Urged Before Congress. OLTMPIA, Wash.". March tL (Special.) H. W. Ross. State Land Commissioner, and W. P. Bell, Attorney-General, will leave for the National Capital early next week to meet with R. A. Balllnger, Sec retary of the Interior, and with Western Senators and Representatives with the purpose of securing amendments to de partmental rules1 and provisions made in pending Federal land legislation which will enable the state to get relatively fair treatment from the Federal Government with respect to its land grants. These state officials argue that every rule of the department, every technicality that can be urged has been raised against state selections and at the same time similar -technicalities have not been raised against either fraudulent private selections or against railroad grant lieu selections. They also insist that nons of the measures pending in Congress on which they have been able to securer data makes any provision to guard the state's Interests. - The United States owes the state thou sands of acres of lands In addition to the large area of state lands within forest reserves, yet rulings of the department for more than a year have absolutely set aside the enabling act provisions and have prevented the 6tate getting an acre of these lands. They also declare absurd and wrongful the suggestion that the state surrender Its thousands of acres of lands within forest reserves to the Fed eral Government and take lieu land scrip for equal areas outside the reserves be cause there is little Government land of any value outside the reserves, and none so valuable as the timber lands the state has within the reserves. The decision to make the trip followed a long conference here today, and the determination was heartily approved by Senator Flshback. of the Legislature In vestigating commlttee.who was present at the session. 816 RESERVOIR BREAKS BLOCK SIGNAL ALONE SAVES UNION PACIFIC LIMITED. Two Miles of Track Are Washed Out and Damage Is Estimated at $150,000. - JULESBTJRG. Colo.. March 11 The big Jumbo reservoir, belonging to the Julesburg irrigation district, went out suddenly this morning, washing out two miles of Union Pacific track and causing damage to the extent of $150,000. A Union Pacific limited train en route from Chicago to Denver stopped close to the waters, the engineer see ing the flood spread out for miles before him. So far as known no lives were lost through the disaster, which is con sidered remarkable, in view of the millions of gallons of water turned loose. One report has it that only the block signal, which was recently es tablished, saved the limited train from plunging into the water. Officials of the Irrigation district have-been unable to discover the cause of the accident. The water is flowing off down the Platte River and will not cause any material damage to the land. Suffi cient water remains in the reservoir to meet the needs of the coming sea son. The Union Pacific is detourlng trains over the Burlington via Ster ling and a short delay will be the only Inconvenience. QUERY STUMPS TEACHERS Lightning Calculator's Problem Leaves Them Gasping for Breath. BOSTON. Mass., March ". This prob lem was put up to 40 Marnard profes sors today by Mr. Griffith, a lightning calculator, at a private "quia": "My birthday Is April 23. If the next tlmemy birthday comes on Easter Sun day I shall be 20 per cent older than next April, how old am 1 now? And yt again. If on next Easter birthday the population of Boston were 60 per cent more than the sum of all the num bers from 14.107 to tha next prime number above, and they should all celebrate my birthday by giving me as many Easter eggs at 41 cents a dozen, what would tie the compound interest on the money at 8 per rcent from that day until the next timemy birthday falls on Easter Sunday?" Griffith said he could solve It without putting pen to paper. The professors have been at work on the problem ever since. Properly, It was Mr. Griffith who was being "quizzed," and not the profes sors, and It was only at the close of the hearing that he so unkindly turned the tables on them. He had been Invited by Professor Julian C. Coolldge, of the Harvard mathematics department, to demonstrate his abilities. Professors and instructors all expressed their amazement at what they saw. The questions came in rapid-fire order, to be answered offhand, no less rapidly, while at a far slower rate the question ers sought with blackboard and chalk, eight of them at a time, to verify their correctness.

CHARTERS TAKEN AWAY Maxwell Everett Says Colonists Fought King George for Doing What Congress Does by Im- i posing Corporation Tax. WASHINGTON. March 1L "Tor tak ing away our charter." was one of the grievances of the American colonies against the King of Britain. At the time the declaration (containing these very words) was written the people of Vermont had already rendered con spicuous service in the War of Inde pendence. It would be an astonishing result, if, years after that independence had been won. it should be found that the Government established by the colonials themselves had become an In strument 'for taking away our chart ers.' " That is the climax In the brief of Maxwell Everett and Henry S. Ward ner, counsel for Stella P. Flint, of Windsor, Vt, filed today in the Supreme Court in opposition to the constitution ality of the corporation tax. Stale Sovereignty Invaded. Their main point is that the law, as far as it affects the Stone-Tracy Com pany, Is unconstitutional because it Invades the sovereignty of the state of Vermont. It is also contended that the company would be deprived of its prop erty for public use without Just com pensation and that the tax is a dlreot one on the franchise and therefore un constitutional because not apportioned. Mr. . Everett started the litigation over the constitutionality of the tax and he Is relied upon largely to pre sent the views of the corporations to the court in the oral arguments of the 150 cases next week. ' "The invasion of state sovereignty through the corporation tax is actual and real," says the brief. "No person of the slightest business experience can doubt that the imposition of the tax and the forced publicity of cor porate affairs as distinguished from the privacy of the affairs of partner ships and individuals and their exemp tion from a like tax will drive to the wall this defendant corporation and all similar corporations which compete with partnerships and Individuals. "It may not seriously affect the larger and stronger corporations. All the reserve power of the state to create these small corporations would be rendered as useless as if it never had existed." Small Corporations Suffer Most. The novel spectacle of a corporation pleading with, the Supreme Court of the United States to be allowed to be taxed was presented today, when coun sel for . the Coney Island & Brooklyn Railroad Company asked the court, to uphold the constitutionality of the cor poration tax. So far this corporation is the only one of the 150 organiza tions that has presented a brief In favor of the law. HYDE'S WORK IS APPROVED Dr. Twyman Testifies as to Treat ment of Patients.

I. has arrived. That is to say. that not only the offi cials of the flying societies, but the Commissioners of the Police, the cus toms officials and the military mag nates of all the countries of Europe are now seriously discussing the prob lem of policing the air. They realize that the flying man has come to stay, and that in a year hence aeroplanes will be cheap and plentiful, and that they are faced with a situa tion which grows more and more diffi cult -of solution the more seriously it ia studied. . A moment's reflection will show the extraordinary difficulties of policing the air. Apart from the question of anarchists' airships or foreign spies sailing unchecked over the length and breadth of the. land, a serious blow could be dealt at the Custom-House receipts If It became possible for even Just the lighter dutiable articles to be carried through the air without pay ing Impost. Major Baden-Powell, the great aerial expert, considers that with the advent of aeroplanes smuggling will become the easiest thing in the world.

This great multi-millionaire was too busy to worry about the condition of his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad. to worse until In the end it became Incurable. His mis fortune should serve as a warning to others. Every one who suffers with dyspepsia" for a few years will give everything he owns for a new stom ach. Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal state of the gastric Juices. There is one element missing PepBln. The ab sence of this destroys the function of the gastric fluids. They lose their power to digest food. We are now able to supply the pepsin in a form almost identical to that naturally created by the system' when In normal health, so that it restores to the - gastric Juices their digestive power, and thus makes the stomach strong and well. We want every one troubled with Indigestion and dyspepsia to come to our store-and obtain , a box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. They contain Bis-muth-Subnitrate and Pepsin prepared by a process which develops their greatest power to overcome digestive disturbance. Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are very pleasant to . take. They soothe the irritable, weak stomach, strengthen and Invigorate the digestive organs, relieve nausea and - indigestion, pro mote nutrition and bring about a feel ing of cgmfort.

It has to be remembered, too, that the crossing of a frontier does not nec essarily' Imply that the vessel Is going to descend in the county It approaches. For instance, a British machine going to Germany might want to cross over parts of Holland and Belgium. Altogether, according to the Major, it seems as if it would be impossible to enforce any law as to machines being compelled to descend at a frontier, and this implies that customs, in the main, will have to be abolished. The only regulation now in force among all the powers is that in war time no projectiles are to be dropped from a balloon or aeroplane on non defended towns or villages. More recently there has been a pro posal in the Dutch" Parliament to pre vent a foreign balloon entering the country, and a German paper, stimu lated by the adventurous French aero stats, has foreshadowed the proclama tion that all ascents near the frontier within sight of a fortress would be an act of espionage and unfriendly pro ceeding. The general Idea of experts seems to be that "territorial rights" will be ex ercised by nations in the near future over the air, just as on the sea or dry land, provided they can be properly en forced. Bat the air of a big sub-continent like India, for Instance, would need a terribly big force efficiently to patrol it. On the other hand, others drew an analogy from the case of the motorist, who was a serious danger only until he could be easily identified. We shall deal in similar fashion in the near fu ture with -the aeroplanist and the man in the balloon. No private airship will be permitted without some simple and oertaln method of Identification.
