1 Favor of Charter.
WASHINGTON, March 11. 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

WAR UNDER TWO FLAGS
Call of Adventure Under Foreign
Colors Brightens History.
J Kansas City Journal.
The American may be pardoned for
yielding to the lure of adventure In for
eign wars, and the two who were recently
executed in Nicaragua belonged to a
large and noble coTnpany of soldiers) of
fortune who fought, sometimes for pure
love of fighting, sometimes for revenge,
but more often for the love of liberty and
very rarely for pure love of gain.
-Not all the heroes of history have
been those who fought under their own
flag. 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. "Chinese" Gordon's

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."

COERCIVE LOBBY
DEFEATS SUBSIDY
All Hope for Measure Gone Be
cause of Mistaken Zeal
of Friends.
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.

NEW YORK. March. ' Lower Fifth

THE LONDON COSTER.
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.

Lightning Calculator's Problem
Leaves Them Gasping for Breath.
BOSTON. Mass., March ". This prob

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

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

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.

That is to say. that not only the offi

Commissioners of the Police, the cus

One Million Dollars
for a Good Stomach
This Offer Should Be a Warn
ing to Every Man and
- .Woman
The newspapers and medical journals
have had much to say relative to a,
famous millionaire's offer of a million
dollars for a new stomach.
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.
If you give Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
a reasonable trial we wil return your
money If -you are not satisfied with
the result. Three sizes. 25 cents, 60
cents, and $1.00. Remember you can
obtain Rexall Remedies in. Portland

almost impracticable, for they would
have to be posted at every few hundred
yards along the entire frontier.
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.

Dropsy
Given up by Doctor
"I had dropsy, and was told
by my family physician that
there was no chance for me. My;
family also gave me up. My
Jimbs and body were swollen
one-third larg-er than natural,
water collected around my heart
and I had to be propped up in
bed to keep from smothering, I
took Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy
tmtil I was entirely cured. This
was in 1902, and, I am now able
to do any kind of work on my
farm. My cure was certainly
marvelous."
