Is o Desire to Embarrass
His Administration.
NEW YORK. Slay 19. The Allied

appointment of Ambassador Page to
the Court 01 james. ine man wno
Is accused of starting; the agitation
against Page Is branded by the secre
tary of the Allied Trades as an out
law." This Is In the face of the fact
that the Allied Trades say that Mr.
Page's publishing firm, Doubleday,
Page & Co. conducts a non-union of
fice. The Allied Trades secretary wrote
a letter today to President Wilson, as
suring the President that there was no
desire to embarrass his Administration
in any way.
Peter J. Brady, secretary of the Allied
Printing Trades of Greater New York,
sent a letter to the President today In
which he salJ:
"While It Is true that the Doubleday
Page establishment at Garden City Is
conducted ns a non-union office, this
council or Its unions would not resort
to such tactics as asking the London
Trades Council to enter a protest
against Mr. Page, as the representative
of this Government to England. If we
had desired to protest the appointment
of Mr. Page, we would have done so to
you direct at the time his name was re
ceiving your consideration for that po
sition. Facta to Be ITeaented.
"Wj have written to the London
Trades Council for the letter which the
newspapers say was received from this
city, and after reply from them I will
present to you all the facts In the case
resulting from our Investigation Into
this matter. There Is no desire on our
part to embarrass your Administration
In any way. but. on the contrary, we are
ready and willing to assist all we pos
sibly can In order that your Adminis
tration may be a success."
Bradv said the "National Brotherhood
of Bookbinders" was an "outlaw or
ganization, repudiated by the American
Federation of Labor." He said the com
munication to the London Trades Coun
cil was unauthorized.
"Whatever may be the conditions at
the Doubleday-Page plant In regard to
union labor," Brady said, "we have no
desire to embarrass the Administration
by any such tactics as those employed
by Conway. If we had had any desire
to protest against the appointment of
Page we would have addressed our pro
test to President Wilson tn an official
manner.
"The use by Conway of the letterhead
of the Allied Printing Trades Council
wag entirely unauthorized, as was his
use of the name of the International
Typographical Union. Local No. 6.
which has no connection with his or
ganization. ...
"The latter Is allied with the Ameri
can Federation of Labor and the strike
which he refers to was precipitated by
Conway's organization. We had no
knowledge of it until the men were
out."
letter Receive In Loadonu
Information from the London Trades
Council Is that Conway need the letter
head of the Allied Trades Council of
New York In hla communication. After
describing Ambassador Page as a mem
ber of Doubleday. Page & Co, the letter
said:
"This concern 1 bitterly opposed to
organized labor. The only department
that forced recognition from the union
standpoint was the bookbinders, but
they are now on strike, being forced
out as the policy of the firm la to re
place men with boys."
The letter also said that the Interna
tional Typographical Union. Local No.
. continues the firm on the "unfair
list" and that the men who had been
secured to take the strikers' places re
belled and struck without the aid of
any organization.
The letter concludes by asking:
"All the organized labor of the United
Kingdom to aaslat us In giving this
matter the widest publicity and also
to file a protest to our Qovernmtnt on
its selection and a protest to your own
government for Its acceptance of this
man." .

the willingness of the state to co-operate

Senator Lane then reverted to the
testimony of Montana witnesses who
told the Secretary that the Government
work in that state had been an utter
failure and that Government Irrigation
was actually depressing, rather than
raising land values, and is diminishing
rather than Increasing crop production.
In the face of such testimony. Senator
Lane appealed to "Secretary Lane to
take part of the 115,000,000 that has
been allotted, but not yet expended, on
two big Montana projects and apply it
to projects In Oregon, where Irrigation
has been proved a success and where
the reclamation service will be wel
comed rather than condemned.
Notwithstanding the presence of Sen

pealed for the recognition of Oregon

which has been ever liberally treated
in the past.

Washington, However, Has Given Xo
Recent Intimations of Re

SAN SALVADOR. Republic of Sal
vador, May 17. Public sentiment here
is considerably aroused by dispatches
men rHino- tiA negotiations between
Nicaragua and the United States for
the sale by Nicaragua of the right or
construction of an lnter-oceanlc canal
and of a United States naval station In
the Oulf of Fonseca.
WASHINGTON, May 17. The canal
treaty with Nicaragua, accepted by the
Managua government, but yet unratineu
by the United States Senate, would give
to the United States the exclusive right
to build an lnter-oceanlc canal by what
Is known as the Nicaraguan route, once
considered as a competitor to the Pana
ma route.
In return the United States virtually
would guarantee the Integrity of Nica
ragua and support Its government and
acquire a naval base on the Gulf of
Fonseca. The treaty was negotiated
about the time American marines and
bluejackets landed In Nicaragua a year
ago and aided In maintaining the gov
ernment against the revolution.
Negotiations have been at a stand
still for some time and officials have
given no recent Intimation of renewed
activity.

THAW'S ATTORNEY
IS FOUND GUILTY
Testimony of Client in Mattea
wan Considered by Di-'
rection of Court.
RUSSELL'S STORY BELIEVED
Lawyer Faces Penalty of Ten Years
in Prison and Fine of $500 on
Charge of Attempted Bri
bery of Official.
NEW YORK, May 17. John N. Anhut
was convicted tonight of attempted
bribery by the jury before which he has
been on trial In connection with an
attempt to free Harry K. Thaw from
Matteawan by alleged illegal means.
The young lawyer will be sentenced
Tuesday by Supreme CourJ Justice Sea
bury. The Jury, which returned shortly be
fore 4 o'clock, deliberated less than
two hours and a half. They found that
Anhut was guilty of offering Dr. John
W. Russell, former head of the Mattea
wan Hospital, $20,000 for the release of
Stanford White's slayer, as Dr. Russell
had testified.
Anhut's defense was that the money
given him by Thaw was a contingent
fee only, to be returned in full If Thaw
did not have his liberty by July 1 next,
and was to be used for legal measures
to obtain his client's release.
Lawyer Once State Senator.
Anhut displayed calmness when the
verdict was brought In. He flushed
slightly, but answered evenly the ques
tions asked by the clerk. He is 29
years old, and was born in Michigan,
where he was once a State Senator. He
faces a maximum penalty of 10 years
In prison and a fine of $500.
Thaw's insanity was dwelt on by
Arthur C. Palmer . In summing up for
Anhut. He asked the Jury to disregard
Thaw's testimony. In view of his men
tal condition. He held that Anhut was
a victim of circumstances, brought
about by Thaw and Dr. Russell, and had
acted honestly as Thaw's counsel.
Thaw's Testimony Considered.
In -charging the Jury, however, the
Court said Thaw's testimony should re
celve careful consideration.
Thaw said on the stand that he sent
Anhut 25,000 when the defendant told
htm he had talked with Dr. Russell,
and that the physician had promised
to see that Thaw was released. Dr.
Russell In hlB testimony said Anhut
tried to bribe him with a $20,000 offer.

Steamship's Duty.
NEW YORK. May 17. A decision
handed down today by Judge Mayer in
the United States District Court will
cost the United States Government
about $1,000,000 a year from now on.
It holds that the Government must pay
for medical treatment to aliens
brought to this country and found
after their arrival at Ellis Island to
be suffering from some temporary con
tagious disease.
The Government sought to collect
from the Holland-American Steamship
Company $2167 for such treatment, but
the court. In finding for the defend
ants, declared that the immigration
luws make no provision for the steam
ship company to pay for medical treat
ment for ailing aliens. Unless over
ruled by a higher court, the decision
will apply to all steamship lines.

For those whose normal energy
evaporates in a chronic sweat, there
are just two remedies a natural

The natural breeze is always uncer
tain; the Electric Fan is absolutely un
failing. Better still, the Electric Fan
gives a "portable breeze" you can
train it on the desired place. Or you
can use the Oscillating type it turns
from side to side and distributes a
cooling breeze all over the room.
Operating cost is too trivial for serious consideration
less than one cent an hour.
A commonsense regard for your, efficiency and com
