PINCHOT SCORED IN COAL CASE PEACE MOVE STOPS SHOTS Former Forester Attacked In Final | El Paso Watching Fiht When News Hearing on. Coal Lands. ‘Washington, May 9.—The govern-|| ment and the Cunningham claimants locked horns at the interior depart- ment in a final hearing for the posses- | sion of 5280 acres of Alaska coal| lands, estimated to be worth $300,000,- | 000. | E. C. Hughes of Seattle, Wash., rep- resenting the claimants, opened the| hearing with a general attack on -for- mer Forester Gifford Pinchot. He in- timated that it was improbable that the tribunal, consisting of Secretary | Fisher of the interior department, Commissioner Dennet of the land of- fice, Chief Law Officer Witten and| Judges McPhaul and Butler of the| land office law board, would hand| down a fair and impartial decision. He | was immediately and sharply re-. proved by Dennet, following which he apologized. Pinchot was denounced by Hughes for flling a brief which he declared‘ was incomplete, inaccurate and mis- | leading. The general public was scored for having been unnecessarily bitter. “Usually,” said Hughes, “a man is innocent until proved guilty. In this ' case, from the beginning, the Cun-! ningham claimants have been consid- | ered guilty and have had to prove| their innocence.” | Hughes then declared that even if the claimants had agreed to combine their Alaskan holdings, they had not violated the law.

Denver, May 9.—“Progressive poli- cles, the readjustment of both politi- cal and economic conditions to coin- cide with the actual facts—these, 1 take it, will be the main issues upon which the next national campaign will | be fought.” This is the statement of Governor ‘Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, here for a few days’ visit. “Combinations of capital are in con- trol of politics, therefore the organiza- tlon of politics and its methods must be changed,” continued Wilson. “I have no doubt that the tarift will be ! an issue, for tariff nowadays means nothing but a system of favoritism and patronage. In the next presiden- tial campaign the Democracy will un. doubtedly have the power of position.” The question of who will likely hel the national standard-bearers of the | two great parties, the governor would not discuss, There DANGER IN FRENCH MOVE Germany Drops Hint That Fez Had Better Not Be Occupied. Berlin, May 9.—Germany has warned France ot the dangerous consequences which would be likely to follow the oc- cupauon of Fez by French troops. There is no truth, however in the rumor that Germany had decided to send three cruisers to Moroccan wat- ers in order to display the flag at Casablanca, Rabat, Nogador and El Araish. In view of the hint from Berlin it | is believed here that the French fly- | ing column from the southwest has been hurrying to the relief of Fez will be halted outside the capital. Fires Destroy Bridges. ‘Washburn, Wis., May 9.—Forest fires have been raging in the cutover districts adjacent to this city in the last two days and several of the bridges along the country roads have been burned. Some cf the fires have been started from engine sparks, while others are from brush fires started by farmers who are clearing land. So far the damage has been light, but with continued dry weather the fires will xet worse. | universal | the states. of Armistrice Arrives, El Paso, Tex., May 9.—A few shots vere exchanged by the federal and in- surrecto outposts near Juarez, but or- ders were issued from headquarters to cease firing, as an armistice was being arranged. People crowded the | roofs and housetops in El Paso and hundreds of people ran to the river- side to watch the fighting. The firing | | was renewed at 11 o’clock. The fed- erals were said to have begun the shooting. General Madero left head- quarters for- the front to determine whether his orders had been dis- obeyed. It is believed his officers are taking advantage of the interim for the arrangement of an armistice to advance on Juarez. About 100 rebels moved forward in readiness for the attack. The impres- sion is that General Madero's orders have been disregarded and an engage- ment is imminent. MEXICAN GOLD Sl SHIPPED OUT Nearly 31.000,000 Received in New York Causes Speculation. New York, May 9.—Mexican gold coin to the amount of nearly $1,000, 000 has been received at the federal sub-treasury and assay office here within a short time past. Substantial- ly half the amount has been melted into bullion at the assay office. The remainder was deposited at the sub- treasury. The gold was all of recent coinage. The shipments were said to have | been made through a prominent Wall street banking firm. The newness of the coins gave rise to reports that they came from the vaults of some big public or private institution in the Mexican capital. It was reported that some one, pos- sibly a high official of the Mexican government, anticipating a crisis in Mexican affairs had shipped the gold here as a precautionary measure. It was said later by the bankers that the shipment was in the regular | course of their business as correspond- | ent of a financial institution in Mex- ico City. | SOME LACK FAITH IN DIAZ Inclined to Doubt His Promise to Re- tire From Office. Mexico City, May 9.—With the oul Hnes of the Diaz message to the peo- ple in their possession, friends of Francisco 1. ‘Madero, Jr., leader of the revolution, are wondering if he would accede to its terms. They pointed out that, while osten- sibly Diaz agrees to give the country most of the reforms demanded by the progressive element and says he will resign “when peace is restored,” there | 18 no guarantee that he will keep his word. Some of the more radical are in- clined to believe the whole thing a plan of the Diaz followers to get the insurrectos to lay down their arms; and then re-establish the Diaz dynasty with the army. Others say that the promises of the.president should be accepted in good faith and the in- tarml warfare ended at once. The revised draft of the appeal to #he country was considered by the | cabinet and president. It is a wonderful document from | the standpoint of the administration. Promises of the Government. The president solemnly declared it | to be the purpose of the government to grant anti-re-election of either pres- ident or vice president; a free and franchise; judicial reform and the complete reorganization of all Diaz reviews his rule, in- sisting tHat he has always acted for the benefit of the whole people. He states that he has recently counseled with many people, including all who have the “real interest of our beloved | country at heart,” and says that it has never been his intention to inter- fere with progress. ‘Without a head, Diaz says, the gov- ernment would be unable to compel normal conditions of peace and an- archy would be rampant. Because of this he has refused all demands to resign and even now he refuses to fix any date on which he will retire. His responsibility is to the nation he says, and because of this he simply states that when ahsolute order is re. stored in the country he will retire as its president.

The former speaker of the house was at dinner, but when he heard of the invasion he capered into the drawing room, waving a napkin and warbling ithe chorus of “In the Springtime, Gen- tle Annie.” Then with anather flourish of the napkin he excuted a double ‘shuffie and shook hands. “1 am (horoughly enjoying my con- gressional work,” he said. “We are finding much to criticise in the policies of the Democratic house.” A visitor suggested that with the Democratic party in power and the Republicans split into all sorts of fac- tions the country was in a bad way. “Yes; it does beat h—1,” Uncle Joe replied, as he moved toward the din. ing room door. MERGER OF ALL METHODISTS Envoys From Three Great Branches . Meet at Chattanooga. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 9.—Envoys from the three great branches of Methodism met here to lay a founda- | tion for the unification of the alienat- ed divisions of the church.. Plans for the federation of the denomination that were begun.seventeen years.ago are shaping into complete form. The three - branches represented are the Methodist Protestant, Methodist Epis- copal and the Methodist Episcopal Church South.

WICKERSHAM OPPOSES PLAN Rockefeller Foundation WIill Not Be Given Corporate Existence. Washington, May 9.—The Rockefel- ler foundation is not to be given & corporate existence by the United States government. Attorney General Wickersham, in an opinion given to the president, has condemned the project as unwise and calculated to perpetuate the huge for- tune which John D. Rockefeller has amassed. The president is under- stood to agree with the reasoning of his attorney general and in the event | that a bill creating the foundation sheuld pass congress he in all proba- bility would veto it.

The shrewd, calculating Greville described him in words that burn; the great ‘duke, his chief subject, uses language of : dry scorn, “The king could only act the part of a gentleman for ten minutes at a time,” and we find the common- est satellites of the court despised the wicked fribble who wore the crown of England. [Faithless to women, faith less to men, a coward, a llar, 'a mean and groveling cheat, George V. never- theless clung to a belief in his own virtues, and if we study the acconnt of lis farcical progress through Scot- land -we find that be imagined himself to be a useful and genuinely kingly personage.

There was no blessing on earth, the. man reflected, equal to an economical. managing wife, and he settled the bill with com- parative cheerfulness. Three weeks later he was given another bill to set- tle. That called for $150. “What is this for?” he demanded. “Oh,” she replied, “that is the cost of a dress 1 copled in the restaurant the other night.”—New York Sun. Hotels as Hospitals. “Next ‘to a hospital- give me an up to date hotel in which to take care of a very sick patient,” said a New York trained ‘nurse. “I’ve nursed in most of the big hotels here in New York, and it's really wonderful the supplies that can be brought at a moment’s no- tice. Ice bags, hot water bottles, crutches and wheel chairs are always on tap, there’s always some one avail- able to help lift a patient, and if the patient’s a man there's always a bar ber at hand to shave him. And there’s the woman in the sewing room to stitch a rapidly cut binder. There's an operating room at your disposal it surgery has to be resorted to, and there’s a protected roof to take your patient to during convalescence.

Powerful- Bulls. During a debate upon the second reading of the Irish land bill in 1896 Lord Londonderry concluded a period with: “This is the keystone of the bill. Are you going to kill 1t?" Sir Frederick - Milner, speaking on the budget, sald, “A cow may be drain- ed dry, and if chancellors of the ex- chequer persist ‘in meeting- every de- ficlency that-‘occurs by taxing the | brewing and distilling ‘industry they will inevitably kill the cow. that lays the golden milk!” Lord Curzon—“The. interests of the employers and employed are the same nine:times out of ten—I will even say ninety-nine times out of ten!"

Many persons young and old often wonder how the modern electric cars, trains and locomotives are operated and what electricity is. No one knows what electricity is. We know some of the things that.it will do. We have to a certain extent learned how to con- trol it ‘and for. want of a better name call it a fluid. We have discovered, too, that it Is one of the most impor- tant forces, if not the most important force, of which we have any knowl-; edge. We are almost as ignorant of many other great forces of nature—as, | for example, the attraction of gravita- tion. Kor the present we must be con- tent to observe:such forces in action and to devise the-best methods to con- trol them. In this knowledge mankind has progressed ‘ wonderfully within a few years.—St. Mcholns Fishing Without Bait. On the Nadoo-creek, at Hukow, we saw a novel way of fishing. Two small boats were moving parallel with each other about thirty feet apart. | The ends of k iine about sixty feet long ‘to which” smnll unbaited hooks were attached' about four inches apart to two sticks were held respectively by a man in‘egch boat. As the boats moved slowly along first one man and then the other would give his stick a jerk. Immediately that the hooks struck 'anything the line was gradu- ally hauled in and Invariably with success. We saw fish struck four out of five times; many of them running apparently from half a pound to two or more pounds. It may be that Chi- na is the only place in the world where fish are caught with unbaited hooks.—North China News. Custom House Humor. Two Germans who were crossing the Luxembourg frontier declared to the customs - officlals: “We have with us three bottles of red wine each.

At the mint in Philadelphia are a number of coins far more precious than any which fied their way into circulation.
