The enter- prise is one of the biggest ever under- | taken about the bay counties. The plant to cost over $5,000.000 and will employ 2000 men. That the big smelting trust contem- plated establishing a new plant on this coast has been rumored for some time. Represengatives of the company have refused to discuss the project, but yes- terday the secret was out when Arthur Walker, the chief engineer of the corpo- ration, took down to Point San Bruno a corps of assistants and a piledriver was work. over a mile long will bay ut tc A pler o b be run below the site of the new nt. T will enable deep sea ships unload their cargoes in San Mateo The new plant will be the most to County complete and modern arrangement of its | kind in the world The deal for the land was closed last December. The company then purchased 200 acres from the South San Francisco Company. It was at first the in- of the smelter people to locate somewhere on the other side of the bay, but W. J. Martin of the land company went to New York and finally succeeded in“closing the deal for the South San Francisco property. ir Walker, who Is superintending construction of the plant, declares that modern contrivances to avoid the ipleasant odors that are given out by some smelting plants will be used. He ys that the San Bruno plant will be odorless. The work will soon give employment to over 2000 men. Superintendent Walker and his assistants are already making ar- | rangements to hire large forces of labor- ers. The new plant will handle ores from Alaska, Nevada, Montana, Mexico and in fact from all over the Paclfic Coast. This will give an added impetus to min- ing in the West, as ores that cannot be made to v at present because of the di nce from a smelter will be made worth while when the smelter is com- pleted. Danfel Guggenheim, president of the American Smelting and Refining Com- pany; his brother, Sol Guggenheim, chief member of the executive committee; John Hays Hammond, president of the Gug- genheim Exploration Company, and . W. Eccles, in charge of the traffic, ar- rived in the city vesterday and are at the St. Francis. They confirmed the re- port of the establishment of big smelt- ing works at San Bruno Point. “We have decided to put a big plant at San Bruno,” sald Daniel Guggenheim. “It will cost about $5,000,000 and will em- ploy 2000 men. It will handle mostly cop- per ores, while tne Selby works will treat ead ores. We have already works in a Tacoma and Everett, but the new plant | will be the most important on the coast. The plans are all ready, and work be- gan today under the supervision of En- gineer Walker.” It is understood that the Guggenheim Exploration Company, which is closely allied with the American Smelting and Refining Company, is at present studying the advisability of running a raflroad into Alaska to tap the copper“ore re- glons. In this connection the putting up of the mew plant is significant. Daniel Guggenheim last night sald that if the railroad was not vet an assured fact, it would surely be bullt if the present inves- tigation corroborated the first reports about the country to be tapped. He an- nounced also that the company had lately | bought the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company at Ely, Nev., together with 130 miles of rallroad between Toana and Ely.

Interesting complications in regard to the . succession may .follow his death, His nephew, Ferdinand, who was made Crown Prince when his brother Wil- helm renounced his rights in 1888, is unpopular, being considered deficient in intelligence. There is-a well supported year-old son, Charles, as King, permit- ting the Crown Prince to rule as regent until the boy ‘attains . his majority. Charles is a native Roumanian of fine physique and exceedingly bright. The Crown -Prince, like the present King, is a German, belonging to the non-reigning branch of the Hohenzol- lern family. His .wife is an English Princess and a niece of King Edward. She is idolized in Roumania on account of her beauty and graciousness. As she is highly ambitious she will prob- ably succeed in overriding the prejudice against her husband. —_—————— Right to Strike S ed.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, March 16.—Representa- tives Knowland and Glllett argued before the House naval affairs committee today in behalf of the construction of a collier at Mare Island navy yard. New York interests were also heard favoring the bullding of a collier and battleship at the Brooklyn navy yard. Knowland reviewed the history of the effort to have a vessel of the class men- tioned constructed at Mare Island and dwelt upon the apparent obstacles laid in the way of the movement by the Navy Department after Congress had lodged discretionary power with the Secretary of the Navy. The obstacles were in the nature of additions and alterations made in plans of the collier authorized by Con- gress which entirely changed the charac- ter of the vessel and increased the ex- pense of bullding, while at the same time | the price of steel and other: building ma- terial was advancing. This delay, Know- land said, had cost the Government prob- ably $500,000. Recently Admiral Capps, repling to an inquiry made by Knowland, denied that any changes had been made in the plans for the collier as originally authorized. In reply Knowland today read to the committee the statement made to the committee last year by Capps, in which Capps sald: Since the original estimate was submitted it has been necessary to make provisions for the carrying of ammunition, stores and a very much larger number of men than was at first contemplated. During the hearing a member of the committee asked whether the private ship yards had a hand in bringing about the delay that seemed to characterize the at- titude of the department. ““While perhaps it dees look a little sus- picious,” replied Knowland, ““I would not make .any such charge unless I had the evidence to prove it.” IRRIGATION PROJECT. Representative Gillett today received a large petition protesting against the di- version of the water of the Sacramento River for irrigation purposes. There were several hundred names from Tehama County, about 200 from Shasta and 100 from Siskiyou. A large proportion of the signers are substantial citizens. The pe- tition states that it was feared that navi- gation for a great many miles south of Red Bluft would be practically destroyed if the scheme be carried into execution. The Secretary of the Interior has de- cided that the cultivated lands acquired by the Government for reservoir sites may be leased during the period of con- struction of the irrigation works provided there is no interference with the use and control ‘of the lands. His decision ‘also permits the leasing*of Jan: from -entry. This decision st the reclamation service in securing economi- cal construction by enabling it to pur- chase supplies near construction camps for men and livestock, as well as obtain- ing a revenue from the leased lands. The California delegation is inclined to oppose the proposition to divert $1,000,000 from the future receipts of the reclama- tion fund for the construction of drain- age works in the Red River Valley in North Dakota. The Californians fear that - such diversion of irrigation funds as is proposed in the Senate resolution lately passed may endanger the extension of irrigation work in California. The matter will be thoroughly looked into before final action is taken in the House. CHANNEL MADE DEEPER. The War and Navy departments have been informed through official sources of the completion of the work of im- provement in San Pablo Bay, whereby the depth of the channel to Mare Island Navy Yard is increased to thirty feet and widened at the bottom to 300 feet. The largest battleship may now -easily reach the navy yard, approaches to which are unsurpassed at any similar yard in this country, according to the tes- timony of navy officials. Senator Flint will introduce a bill early next week appropriating $100,000 for the purchase of additional land and water rights for the Mission Indians of South- ern California. Indlan Inspector Kelsey today urged upon the Senate committee on Indian affairs the importance of pro- viding for these Indians, who desire an opportunity for work with land for their farming operations. Flint is very hope- ful that his bill will be favorably con- sidered by the committee of the Senate. The measure which has already passed the Senate providing for the removal of the San Diego quarantine station to Point Loma was reported favorably to the House today from the interstate com- merce committee. Representative Hayes will appear be- fore a sub-committee of the House appro- priations committee tomorrow and ask that $1750 cut from the 'll-llfles of the sub-treasurer’s force at San Francisco be restored. —_—————— TAFT PRESERVES SILENCE CONCERNING THE JUSTICESHIP President Will Not Name Brown’s cessor Until After Summer Vaca- tion of Supreme Court. WASHINGTON, March 16.—Secre- tary Taft was in consultation with President Roosevelt for some time to- day. President Roosevelt later author- ized the Issuance of the following | statement regarding the successorship of Justice Brown in the Supreme Court. As Justice Brown will not retire until June, when the Supreme Court will take a vacation until the second Monday in October and no public inconvenience can arise from a Facancy cotinuing through the vacation the President will take further time to decide the question of Mr. Brown's successor. Several names, in- cluding that of Secretary Taft, have been un- der consideration, but no decision has been reached or is likely to be reached or announced in the near future. Secretary Taft went to the War De- partment for a few minutes before the meeting of the Cabinet. -When he was asked his intentions he directed his in- quirers to the statement issued from the White House, saying that was the expression of the President’s views and that his (Taft's) lips were sealed. All that he could say was -that the mat- ter was indefinitely postponed. : ———————————— Would -Compe] Cromwell to Answer.

House today considered a bill permit- | ting the leasing of 5000 acres of arid | lands in La Plata County, Colo., to a | rubber company for the cultivation of the rubber plant. Brooks of Colorado explained that there was evidence of a rubber famine in this country; that last year 75,000, 000 pounds of rubber was imported and that the price had Increased 300 per cent during the past three years. The! land in question, he said, was unfit for | agricultural purposes, and had no min- eral value. Gaines of Tennessee pro- posed an amendment to prevent the rubber trust from getting control of the enterprise. Shackleford of Missourl was given permission to discuss the bill and be- gan to criticise Speaker Cannon re- | gurding the statehood question. He | was stopped before he had proceeded | far and an objection was fatal to the further consideration of the bill. Be- | fore referring to the statehood matter Shackleford had this to say about the | manner in which Brooks got his bill | before the House: The gentleman was not recognized until he had first surrendered his constitutional righ as a representative of the people and crept into your private room, Mr. Speaker, there to | supplicate you to extend to him you? grace. No member can submit any matter to a | vote of the House untll he shall have first| sought and found faver in your sight. The | constitution contemplates that the Speaker | shall be the servant of the House. In de- flance of the constitution you have made your— self its master. You have packed every com- mittee so that no bill can be reported without | your consent. Unless you are willing no mem- ber can move to. discharge a committee from | the consideration of a bill and take it up in the House. You sit an enthroned despot subjecting the reports and destinies of this great people to the dictates of your own unbridied will. Who stands today between a progressive, en- lightened people and the statehood to which | they are entitled? You, sir: only you: you crack your whip and a majority of this House cowers at your feet. You turn your thumbs down and the House deals a death blow to prostrate, bleeding Oklahoma. _ Here Shackleford sald he had read in the morning papers that “Unecle Joe™ had given it out flatfooted that he would not permit the House to concur in the Senate amendment on the state- hood bill, and then proceeded: What a horrible announcement to be made in a free country! The confusion in the House through- out Shackleford's remarks was such that very few members knew what he had sald, when Tawney stopped him with an objection. Before the legislative bill was taken up the House agreed not to meet to- morrow. Hot words between Littlefield of Maine *% packer of Indiana constituted el ":yln a.general criticism of grow, ing appropriations by the former. Previ- ous to this collrquy a running debate on the Republican side had thrown light on the nine House committees on expendi- tures in the various departments. Several members urged that there should be a change in the rules making it the duty of these committees to make an Investiga- tion each year of the manner in which appropriations are expended. Prince of Illinols endeavored to call up | the bill abolishing the rank in the army of lieutenant general. A motion to ad- journ was veted down. The point of no quorum’ being raised, the doors were locked and ‘the roll called on the motion to_consider the bill. Some delay was caused in securing a quorum.. It required, according to Speak- er Cannon's idea, 193 to make a quorum; ing an argument to show that inasmuch two had not been sworn in, a quorum was | present, when Byrd of Mississippi arrived ang settled the argument by answering the ro!l call. ‘Grosvenor, as soon as the bill was read. offered an amendment providing that the office ghould not be abolished until Octo- ber 12 next, which, he said, would permit of the promotion of General Corbin and General MacArthur, Willlams opposed the amendment, which was defeated, 79 to 100. | confidant of the Beers scandal.” i trustee, however. T0 HAMILTON Judge Hornblower Denies Statements Made Before the Investigating Body TALKS OF THE PENSION Others of the New York Life Resent the Stand Taken by the Legislative Agent —— NEW YORK, March 16.—Former Judge William B. Hornblower last night de- fended his original approval of the Beers pension plan which was assalled by An- drew Hamilton when the latter appeared before the legislative insurance commit- tee at Albany yesterday. In the course of his remarks, In which he declared that his transactions with the late John A. McCall were sanctioned by the trustees of the New York Life Insurance Com- pany, Hamilton took occasion to criticise the author of the Beers pension plan, to whom he referred as “the Pecksniff of three administrations, who thinks that he is the Talleyrand of the present one, the Ham- ilton did not mention any names in this cennection. When Beers retired as head of the New Yecrk Life Company back in the early nineties the board of trustees voted him a pension, said to have been some- thing like $30,000 a year. A question as to whether the pension was legal was re- ferred to Hornblower and other eminent counsel. . After reading Hamilton’s speech in full last night Hornblower dictated the fol- lowing statement: So far as Judge Hamilton state@ or implies that I disbursed any legislative funds during the Beers administration, his statement or im— | pltcation is absolutely untrue. My professional relation to the Beers administration was en— tirely confined to litigation and legal advice. I never even appeared before a legisiative committee but once, so far as I can recollect, and then simply to make an argument before the insurance committee in opposition to a pending bill. Not a dellar of the compeny's money ever passed through my hands for leg- isiative or any other purposes. So far as Judge Hamilton states or implies that I was aware of his disbursing moneys"for the company, or receiving moneys not ccount- ed for as found by the Fowler committee, such statements or implications are absolutely un- true. I decline to discuss at the present time the merits or demerits of the so-calied Beers pen- sion plan. 1 was & member of the board of trustees when it was adopted, and advised and concurred in it. 1 belleved at the time it would be a just, legal and valld contract. That he had recelved moneys for so-called real estate accounts, legisiative matters and other matters for which he never accounted I had no knowledge whatever. I do not propose to discuss with Judge Hamilton his offensive epithets. I do not feel it necessary to defend myself against mere abuse. Augustus G. Paine, a member of the auditing committee of the New York Life, last night said: The auditing committee never knew that there was such a man as Andrew Hamilton living until the Armstrong committee un— earthed him, and I think this is true of maay other. trustees. As to the ““Paris fee account,’ no trustee ever heard of it until the Fowler committee discovered it. Then it was found that payments had been made to Hamilton by the order of Jobn A. McCall. The auditing committee never had his accounts and his name never appeared on our books so far as I myself, personally know. I do not see how any credit can be given to these utterances. You may say for me, positively, that I never kmew of the existence of this man Hamilton until the investigation. What he says should carry no weight. very words discredit him. When asked if the suit against the es- tate of John A. McCall would be dropped he replied: “I am not now in a pesition to answer."” Hiram R. Steele of the auditing com- mittee said: Whether the trustees wers aware of the things that” Hamilton talks about I am not at all sure. That the trustees can tell for them- selves. The auditing committee reported on the facts as it found them. and the whole thing is now in the hands of the attorney se- lected to adjust Hamilton's affairs for the company. I must say that I don’t exactly see what Hamilton is driving at. As I am not a I don't feel called upon to venture an opinion. —_ e — Commits Sulcide on Eve of Wedding. ST. PAUL. Minn..
