Xevcr Were in Danger.
WASHINGTON", Feb. 19. Four ad
ministration measures ' are sure of
passage at this session of Congress.
After conferences with Senators
and Representatives, President Taft
told callers today that he felt certain
the amendments to the Interstate
Commerce law, the Postal Savings
Bank bill, the anti-injunction proposal
' and the Statehood bill would go
through.
The situation now seems to portend
that the Alaska legislative council
' bill, the Federal incorporation bill and
several other measures desired by the
' President will either fall by the way-
side or be laid upon the shelf for
another session.
Platform Pledge Kepi.
Some Senators fear they will . be
j taking in four Democratic Senators
, and some Democratic Representatives
jln passing the Statehood bill. The
' President, however, wishes to stand
' by the Republican National platform
of two years ago.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock has
taken a stand with the President in
i this matter. Of the four administra
tion measures mentioned, the State-
hood bill alone seems to show signs
: of weakness. As to the Postal Sav
lings Bank bill, the President has had
tome difficulty in smoothing out the
wrinkles.
Smoot and Root Pacified.
He has had to meet the opposition
of Senator Smoot and also has been
' compelled to ask Senator Root not to
press his amendment to the investment
of funds in Government bonds.
The anti-injunction bill introduced
t by Representative Moon of Pennsyl
vania, is satisfactory to the President,
as it does not differ materially from
the administration billT There never
has been any doubt of the success of
the Interstate Commerce amendments
at the White House.
LONG LINE IS PLANNED

European Engineers Working X'pon
Scheme to Overcome Troubles
of "Wire Distortion."
LOXDOX, Feb. IS. Telephone engineers
all over the world are endeavoring to
folve the problem of long-distance work,
nnd It may be possible soon to speak from
London to Madrid, via Paris. The French
potstal administration has forwarded to
(Madrid for signature a preliminary agree
ment on the iuestion of a Paris-Madrid
telephone line.' When the agreement is
signed the laying of the telephone wires
will be commenced. The line from Lon
don to Madrid via Paris would be about
1001) miles long. The British postofflce re
gards 700 miles a the limit for ordinary
working, but In some recent tests tele
phone conversations were held between
Liverpool and Marseilles, a distance of
Just over 1000 miles.
There are two main difficulties in the
way of long-distance telephony. The first
Is that the greater the distance the weak
er will be the sounds heard In the tele
phone; the second Is that an electrical
property of all telephone linea known as
"capacity" bends the waves transmitted
through the wires out of shape and dis
torts the sounds. The 20 miles of sub
marine telephone cable between Sangatte
and St. Margaret's Bay, on the London
Paris line. Is as great a drawback as two
of three hundred miles of overhead line,
and it is this that demands caution . In
talking from London to great distances
ft broad.
Telephone engineers are trying to over
come the distorting effects of long lines
of what Is called "loading." At short in
tervals along -the line fimull coils of wire
&re placed across the two telephone lines,
end these, if spaced at distances properly
In accord with the now historical calcula
tions of Pupln overcome the effects and
render speech possible over much greater
distances.
As In wet weather the distortion of the
speech waves is hardly suitable for over
head wires; it has nevertheless been tried
and Is stated to increase the limit of
ppeaking about three times. The longest
distance over which speaking is possible
Is between Boston and Omaha, a distance
of about 1600 miles
ENGLISH LANDLORD LAW
Aristocratic Lords Collect Revenue
From Modern Serfs.
Philadelphia North American.
In 1865 a plot of land on the fore
shore of the Thames, near the Temple,
was sold for $41,250. In 1870 the Vic
toria Embankment was build at the
ratepayers' expense, and In 1871 the
same plot of land was sold to the Lon
don School Board for $132,100, an in
crease of $95,850 in six years.
In 1876 the Metropolitan Board of
Works paid 2,500.000 to the late Duke
of Northumberland for Northumberland
House and grounds at Charing Cross.
The land was required for the improve
ment bt Trafalgar Square and for mak
ing a through road to the embankment.
The people of London paid a special tax
on their coal to make the embankment,
but the Duke was not asked to leave
one half-penny of his half million. The
present Duke voted against the budget.
In 1905 the Loudon County Council
had to pay J2O5.000 for 1210 square feet
of land to widen the thoroughfare at
the corner of Piccadilly and St. James
street. This is at ttie rate of $7,379,000
per acre; but toward the creation of
these lilgll values the landlords are not
asked to' pay- one Tialfpenny. This is
the landlords' law. x
Altogether, the ratepayers of London
have spent $358,408,925 between J8o5
and 1908 In public services in creating
and maintaining land values for the
landowners. This is. the landlords" law.
Here are the owners of land in the
center of London who receive millions
of pounds per acre when they sell their
land, and yet out of these millions they
do not contribute ono halfpenny to the
rates. On the other- hand, there are
hundreds of thousands of working: men
who receive.no income except, for their
labor, who pay-high ground rents and
high house rents, and they are obliged
to pay rates out of their scanty earn
ings. This is what the lords are fight
ing to maintain. This is the landlords'
law.

orders, the cruisers will leave here in
two weeks for target practice in southern
waters.
Rear-Admiral 'Sebree became known in
Portland from the yeans 1885 to 18S8,
when he was detailed as Lighthouse In
spector for the local district. At that
time Captain Sebree made many friends
among the harbor interests, and later,
when he became a member of the two
expeditions to the Arctic, old-time Port
landers felt a personal interest In the
victories which came to the squadrons.
The news that Admiral Schley and Cap
tain Sebree had rescued the Greeley ex
pedition reached the world through Port
land, and was one of the elements which
redounded to the great credit of the
officer who has Just left the service of
the Stars and Stripes.
Rear-Admiral Sebree last visited Port
land as escort for. the naval officials of
the Imperial Japanese navy, and at

NEW YORK. Feb. 19. "Here's the
last quarter I've got in the world. Give
me some oysters, and go as far aa you
like," was the combination of an
nouncement and request with which
John Olson, a sailor employed on the
Scandinavian-American line, greeted
William Gau, proprietor of a mar
ket at Hoboken, as he entered that es
tablishment on Saturday.
Mr. Gau proceeded to open oysters.
The sailor looked hungry, so he made
haste. r
As the third oyster was pried apart
Mr. Gau uttered an exclamation. There
was a big pearl. "Well, that's the best
luck I've had In a long time," he ob
served. "Isn't It a beauty?"
"Wait a minute," piped up Olson.
"Didn't I buy the oysters, and didn't
you take the money? My oyster, my
pearl. Hand 'er over!"
The oysterman protested, but the
sailor argued so convincingly that Mr.
Gau finally acquiesced. They Jour

Ex-Forester Yet to Speak on

Virtually All In.
WITNESS PRAISES GLAVIS
Prosecution Fails to Show Existence
of Stipulation to Keep Ballinger's
Xame Out of Wilson Hear
ing Testimony.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. The case for
the prosecution In the Ballinger-Pinchot
inquiry practically has been closed. When
the committee adjourned today until Fri
day, Mr. Brandeis stated there was some
corroborative evidence yet to be produced,
and that Gifford Pinchot probably would
want to make a statement before he
could announce his case was ended.
Mr. Pinchot was to have taken the
stand this afternoon but lie could not be
found during the luncheon recess.
The day's proceedings began with the
unexpected announcement that the cross
examination of Louis R. Glavis was end
ed. Henry M. Hoyt. Attorney-General for
Porto Rico, was called to the stand to
corroborate that portion of Glavis' tes
timony in which he told of seeking the
advice of Mr. Hoyt in Washington in
May, 1909, after FirYst Assistant Secretary
of the Interior Pierce had rendered an
opinion which Glavis thought would per
mit the Cunningham claims in Alaska to
go to patent.
Glavis Worried, Says Hoyt.
Mr. Hoyt told of how deeply worried
Glavis seemed to be at this time, and
said that, before going to Attorney-Gen-eral
Wickersham, he and Glavis had dis
cussed the advisability of taking the
matter up directly with the President.
Mr. Hoyt also testified to the good char
acter of Glavis, saying he had known him
for a number of years, and he had told
the, Attorney-General that Glavis was
an honorable, upright young man.
.The only other phase of the case to
which Mr. Hoyt directed his testimony
had to do with the Wilson coal land
cases, in which he acted as special at
torney for the United States. Glavis
testified he had heard that the name of
R. A. Ballinger, an attorney for some of
the Wilson claimants, had been left out
of the court record by stipulation of coun
sel. Agreement Not I'ound.
Mr. Hoyt said it was at his personal
suggestion and without -the knowledge
of Mr. Ballinger that the stipulation had
been entered into. As a matter of fact,
however, Mr. Ballinger's name did appear
fifteen or twenty times in the testimony
given. Mr. Hoyt said a search had been
made for the alleged escrow agreement'
which Mr. Ballinger is said by Glavis to
have drawn up, and which, according
to Glavis, constituted a criminal act.
but that it could not be found, and the
only evidence aa to its existence was an
Informal statement by one of the wit
nesses, who, at the trial, denied the ex
istence of such an agreement.
The remainder of the day was taken up
with the Introduction of documentary ev
idence by Mr. Brundeis, who read such
extracts as he considered of peculiar in
terest to the committee. These consisted
largely of references in the agents' re
ports to conversations or interviews with
Mr. Ballinger, as commissioner of the
Land Office, on the subject of the Alas
ka claims.
i Active Interest Alleged.
This was done, the attorney said, to
show that Mr. Ballinger had been active
ly interested in these cases before he left
the land office and acted as attorney for
said claimants.
He also read from a statement by P.
H. Schwarta. chief of the field service,
that it was at Mr. Ballinger's direction,
in January, 1908, that the Cunningham
claims were ordered to be clear-listed for
patent. This order was withdrawn after
Glavis had been notified and had pro
tested. Mr. Brandeis accompanied the introduc
tion of the document with a sort of sum
ming up statement, in which he said it
was alleged that Mr. Ballinger had acted
on a favorable report by Special Agent
Love. .
He then read a letter from Love to
Commissioner Dennett, of the Land
Office, in which- Love denied that his re
port of August 2, 1907, favored the clear-
listing of the claims. This report, he
said, suggested the advisability of fur
ther Investigation, although previously he
had recommended clear-listing.
Glavis' Report Shown.
One of the exhibits put into the record
by Mr. Brandeis consisted of the daily re
ports made by Glavis. during the two
years he was in charge of the Alaska
cases. This, Mr. Brandeis said, was to
controvert the suggestion that there had
been undue delay on the part of Glavis.
At the afternoon session, Mr. Brandeis
called attention to the fact that Attorney -Oeneral
. Wickersham. in his report to
President Taft on the Ballinger case,
made no reference whatsoever to the
fact that Attorney-General Hoyt had
called on him with Mr. Glavis, with the
request that he act on the law of 1908,
rather than leave its interpretation to
subordinates of the Interior Department.
He also read from Mr. Ballinger's state
ment the following:
Ballinger's Statements Read.
"Glavis is entirely in error in assuming
that his conversation with the Attorney
General had any effect upon the matter
being submitted to the Attorney-General."
Mr. Brandeis then read this statement
from Mr. Ballinger:
"After the Cabinet meeting of May 23,
I suggested to the Attorney-General the
advisability of an opinion from him on the
construction of the Alaska coal land law
of May 2S, 1908, and then I learned for
the -first time from the Attorney-General
that Glavis had spoken to him about the
matter."

were, he said, 10 or 12 feet wide, but
still were not so large as veins In
other mines in the district. He denied
emphatically that the syndicate had
used any Influence to have the patents
to the .mines issued.
"Interested? Of course we are," he
said, "but we have not tried to influ
ence the government."
Xo Lobbyist Hired.
Mr. Birch denied that the syndicate
ever had employed a lobbyist to repre
sent it in Washington, and he made
the denial specific as to Governor
Hoggatt, Delegate Wickersham and
Major Richardson of the Army, who
has been stationed In the territory
many years In charge of road work.
He said that, after he left the bench
and before he was elected to Congress,
Judge Wickersham had made applica
tion to be employed as attorney by the
syndicate, but that his application had
not been acted upon favorably.
Mr. Wickersham, who was present,
read his letter requesting employment.
It merely said that having left the
bench he was In a position to repre
sent the company if his services were
desired.
He declared he read the letter to
-make It plain he had not tried to
hold up the combination.
Delegate Wickersham had demand
ed the' right to cross-examine Mr.
Birch, but the committee ruled that
he could' ask his questions only
through the committee itself. After
the explanation concerning his appli
cation for employment as counsel, he
did not press his request. .
3 ROOMS HOLD 900 CATS
XEW YORK WOMAN WOULD NOT
. PART WITH PETS.
Felines Occupy Chairs in Parlor and
Sleep on Piano and Tables
of Home.
NEW TORK, Feb. 13. Far, far from
the maddening fears, and terrors of vivi
section there dwells in Grand street a
century coterie of cats, at 460, known as
"the house of a hundred cats and nine
hundred lives." In reality, there are
more than 100 cats under the same roof
and living under the gentle production of
Mrs. Augusta Swiss, but her husband
says he likes to make a conservative es
timate and Just "lumps -the total off .In
round figures."
It Is not an uncommon sight to see
Mrs. Swiss going to market with two
score or more of the felines at her heels,
and she really enjoys the distinction of
being styled the Pled Piperesa of catdom.
For 10 years she has taken the entire
output of scrap meat from two butchers
near her home, and this she always
cooks before It Is served to the cats.
When a reporter called, at the Swiss
home and was shown In through the
three rooms, the cats seemed to be om
nipresent. They occupied the best chairs
in the parlor, were on top of the piano,
on tables, around the steam radiators,
and everywhere.
pther occupants in the tenement one
of the most pretentious In East Grand
street are not so fond of the facetious
felines as is Mrs. Swiss, and some of
them have made a gentle protest from
time to time. It is the Grand-street con
cert work of the midnight singers that
the greatest complaint is raised against.
They have amateur night every Friday
night, but the old guard give nightly
musicales under the guidance and pro
tection of their patroness. They pay no
heed to "cat calls" or bricks playfully
hurled at them off neighboring eaves.
The house In Grand street has long
borne the distinction of "Political Head
quarters," on account of it being occu
pied by an Assemblyman, a lawyer, a
Marshal, an auctioneer and other East
Side denizens, all interested In politics.
A cat can look at a king, but it hasn't
a look in with the sympathies of Morris
Swiss, head Tf the household.
"My wife ought to bo appointed a hu
mane officer." said he, "for not only is
she fond of cats, but is equally Interested
in all kinds of dumb animals. If she
hears .of any one mistreating a horse or
a dog or any animal in this part of town
she goes right away to see him. and
often brings home a dog or two, but not
any horses. I have seen her run Into
the street and take hold of a horse being
mistreated by a driver, and then she
would not let go until he promised to act
different. If we come home from a the
ater or party as late as midnight she will
stop and pick up every stray cat she finds
along the way."
FRIGE SEEKS PALACE
XATIOX HAS TROUBLE WITH
ITALY OVER. EMBASSY.
Sale Once Promised, Legal Irregu
larities Arise, and Open Breach
May Follow as Result.
PARIS. Feb. (Special.) The
question of the purchase of the Far
nese Palace, the present seat of the
French Embassy and Archaeological
School in Rome, continues to excite
considerable interest here, the more so
that the Chamber has voted the credit
of J608.000 necessary for this purchase
and that In consequence the responsi
bility of the Ministry is more or less
at stake. Moreover, the question of
sentiment is not without influence in
this matter, as the French nation re
fuses to believe that the Italian Gov
ernment can suppose that a palace of
great artistic and historic interest
could be anything but " safe in its
hands.
' In 1903 and 1904 negotiations for the
purchase of the Palazzo Farnese were
opened and came to no result, for
financial reasons. Nevertheless no ob
jection of principle was raised by the
Italian Ministry. In 1909 negotiations,
were reopened, and the press cam
paign which had meanwhile been car
ried on against the sale of the palace
resulted. In August, 1909. in a notifi
cation made to the proprietors that
any sale to a third party would be
regarded as null and void.
Yet Slgnor Glollttl, when ap
proached by M. Barters, the French
Ambassador, on this subject, made no
reference ' to this" notification, and
implicitly accepted the principle of th
sale, as he laid down certain condi
tions concerning "the ex-terrltoria!-lty"
of the works of art contained in
the palace. M. Barrere accepted these
conditions in writing, and Slgnor Gio
littl merely acknowledged his commu
nication. From first to last the atti
tude of France has been perfectly cor
rect and such as It should be towards
a friendly country in a question of this
nature.
Baron Sonnlno, however, when he
succeeded Signer Giolittl, declared the sale
absolutely impossible. He said that If
Signor Giolittl had pledged himself to the
sale he had exceeded his rights.
The Temps does not doubt the sincerity
of Baron Sonnino's legal scruples, but in
sists that they come too late, and con
cludes that the rights of France are in
dubitable. It expresses the hope that the
affair, which should be a manifestation
of Franco-Kalian sympathy, may be amic
ably settled without delay.

IDAHO FRAUD CASE
SUDDENLY HALTED
Government Witness Refuses
to Answer Incriminating
Questions on Stand.
MANY SENSATIONS SPRUNG
Testimony Brought Out Shows That
Dwyer, Accused of Frauds, Said
He Only Came West to "Make
Stake on Land."
BOISE. Idaho, Feb. 19. (Special.)
There was a. sudden adjournment of
the Kester-Kettenbach-Dwyer timber
fraud case this afternoon because How
land A. Lambdin, a. witness for the
Government and one of the dummy en
trymen indicted for perjury, exercised
his right not to answer incriminating
questions put by the prosecutor, and
blocked the Government 1 nsecuring- the
evidence required. Prosecutor Gordon
was granted an adjournment untol
Monday morning.
The move of Lambincame as a com
plete surprise to all. He was indicted
by ex-District Attorney Ruick and tes
tified at the last trial that he made
an agreement with the defendants to
locate land for a consideration of $100,
which he was paid. This money was
dribbled out to him by Kester at the
Lewiston National Bank. Once he drew
a check on the bank for part of this
money, and the check was paid, al
though he had no funds therein.
Hearing Is Lively.
Minor sensations crowded the pro
ceedings during the entire 4ay". The
first Jolt given o the defense came
when Frank Morrison, of Clarkston, de
clared that Dwyer wanted to locate
him on timber land, and had said all
the time: x came to this God-forsaken
country to make a stake out of
this timber land. There are enough
chair-warmers sitting around here who
can be bought up to locate on It."
Andrew A. Sherbern, of Clarkston,
who was approached by Dwyer to. lo
cate on land, said he told the latter
he had exhausted all his rights.
"Oh IT " he said Dwyer replied,
that doesn't make any difference. You
can take up a claim under an assumed
name."
Threats VTsed to Get Land.
The Government attempted to show
through witnesses that arrangements
were made by the conspirators to in
stitute contest proceedings against en
tries, and then go to the entrymen
with the threats, forcing them to re
linquish their land for a consideration.
Two witnesses, Walter "Williams and
Albert J. Flood, of Lewiston. testified
to this fact, connecting up a chain of
evidence tending to show that William
Dwyer had approached many other men
with the object of using them as "dum
mies." JAPAN TO INCREASE NAVY

at a dinner given In his honor by the
Jaoanese Society of New York.
"Formerly it was simply praise and
admiration on both sides. It is not al

It is too much to expect that our re

ever slight change may occur. I am
convinced that no question can arise
which, by friendly means, cannot be
brought to a satisfactory solution."
