KEMPINSKrS CASE.
Some Very Delicate Questions of
Citizenship Involved

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The depart
ment of state has been informed by the
United States secretary of legation at
st. Petersburg that he has already re-
uuested the Russian government to in
vestigate the case of Kempinski, said to
be naturaliZed American citizen, who
was eXiled to Siberia by the Russian
authorities upon his return to Russia.
1t has been reported to the department
that Kempinski was eighteen or nine
teen years of age when he left Russia
for the United States. While the
department will investigate the case
thoroughly, there lis said to be
need for caution, for with this
statement of the case it may appear
that Kempinski was eligible for mill
tary service. and that his emigration to
the United States was nothing less than
military desertion. The need for de-
liberate action in such cases is eXempli-
fed in the case of Count Cypriani, about
which the press was much disturbed a
year ago. 1t was asserted that the count,
an American citizen, had returned to
Italy only to be seized and thrown into
a dungeon. Careful inquiry by the de-
partment of state revealed that Count
Cypriani was not an American citizen:
that he was not in an Italian dungeon,
and that he did not return to Italy. but
stopped at Corsica on hearing that he
was liable to arrest if he did return.
Last week the count took out his natu-
ralization papers, and is now an Amer
lean citizen.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

The current number of the North
American Review contains an article,
by Senator ALLISON in explanation of
why congress has not been convened in
extra session by PreSid ent HARRISON
and foretelling when the extra session
will be called. Senator ALLISON speaks
so deciSively about this matter, it is a
fair inference that his utterances are
authentic echoes from the White house,
and that the article was intended for
an administration apology.
Senator ALLISON starts out with the
assertion that an extra session of con-
gress in the beginning of new admin
lStratiOn is not desirable in the public
interest, unless great necessity for it
appears. According to his view of it,
the only reason of Importance that
could be urged for an extra session at
this time lies in the fact that we have a
large revenue coming into the treasury
monthly, and each month considerably
in excess of the payments authorized
by existing appropriations. The Sena-
tor then proceeds to demonstrate that
the secretary of the treasury can dis
pose of the accommodating surplus
Judiciously by purchasing govern
ment bonds in anticipation of their ma
turity, and consequently the services of
congress are not needed. 1t does not
occur to Senator ALLISON, however,
that the people are dreading this very
power with which the secretary has
been invested, and it is with no little
apprehension they are awaiting his ex-
ercise of it. The fear is of collision be-
tween the bondholders and the secre-
tary, whereby the government will be
forced to pay an eXtortionate premium
in the purchase of the bonds.
Yet the real reason for postponing the
call for an extra session is furnished by
Senator ALLISON when he says that it
would be impossible to prevent re-
opening of the whole tariff question.
He admits that the Democratic party
still adheres with firmness to it's orig
inal proclamation that the tariff should
be revised upon revenue basis, and
that it is utterly out of the power of the
Republican majority to prevent pro-
ionged fight whenever this question
comes up. He explains that, under the
rules, any revenue measure introduced
into congress is subject to amendment
without limitation. and that thus the
Democratic minority could keep con-
gress in session all summer, engaged in
discussion of the tariff, without any
practical result. unless the Republicans
would accept the Democratic idea of
tariff reform.
In this view it would seem to be
wiser, according to Senator ALLIsoN's
notion, that the extra session of con-
gress should be postponed until the
middle or last of October, when con-
gress should be convened and remain in
continuous session until the whole
question of tax reduction and tariff re-
form is finally disposed of.
So it may be fairly inferred that the
president will call an extra session of
congress in October, and that when
that body does assemble it will at once
proceed to the discussion of tariff bill,
and will stick to that particular job
until if is finished

should not be hampered in the selection
of their subordinates. 1t must be taken
for granted that the city comptroller,
the city treasurer, the chief ofpolice and
the chief of the fire department all have
sufficient intelligence to select more
capable corps of assistants and subordi-
mates for their several departments
than could possibly be secured by
the best system of civil service rules
that were ever constructed. Where the
head of department is directly respon-
sible to the body of the people for the
administration of his department he has
all the incentive that is necessary to APP
point any capable person to position
under him. 1t isn't every man who can
pass a civil service examination that is
fitted for fireman or police sergeant.

EXPORT RATES.
Another Conference of Railroad
Officials and Interstate Com

Another Conference OF Railroad
Officials and Interstate Com
missioners.
WASHINGTON, April about thirty
railroad officials, representing Southern
and Southwestern railroads were before
the interstate commission to confer
with the commission about export rates.
Sol. Haas, traffic manager of the Allan
tie Coast line, I. FL. Carter, president of
the Southern Steamship association,
Charles III. Cromwell, general freight
agent of the Western Railroad, of
Georgia, Charles Schiff, president of
the New Orleans, Texas & Pa
cific railroad, Augustus Pope, gen
eral freight agent of the North
folk q Western railroad, and others
were examined. Some of these gentle
men admitted that under the present
method of making rates on cotton for
export the charges, owing to daily fuct-
uatlonS In ocean rates, were frequently
less than on the same freight when
shipped over their lines for domestic
use, and while admitting that this was
violation of the interstate law, claimed
that 1t grew out of the only practical
method of fixing rates on cotton for eX-
port so as to distribute the traffic among
the different roads leading to the sea-
board, and prevent the concentration of
cotton exports at one Southern seaport.
The conference ended this afternoon,
ana the commission now have the

THOSE ARID WASTES.

In an article in the Forum this month
Senator STEWART calls attention to the
possibility of placing population of
200,000,000 in the Great American desert.
Those look like pretty large figures for
the remains of what was few decades
ago regarded as an uninhabitable re-
gion. But they seem to be accepted by
scientific authorities. Maj. POWELL, the
government investigator, agrees with
Mr.. STEWART that these sandy wastes
east of the Rockies can be reclaimed.
If there is water to be obtained for irri-
CATION, there is no question that these
regions can be made productive. There
are evidences of success in ancient
times Of such efforts in Arizona and
South America. But there is no occa-
sion for haste in the matter. 1t will be
good while before the 100000, 900 peo-
pie will be ready to go there. About
that number can find ample room this
side of the arid sands.

MADE A SCENE IN COURT,
George S. Massmore Has Epilepsy
But Gets Two Years Just the


BALTIMORE. April George S. Mas
samore, aged twenty, young man of
dudlsh appearance, created a sensation
in the criminal court this morning
when sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary. The prisoner was ac-
cused of stealing jewelry to the value
of 1926 from Littleton G. Banded, Of
Baltimore. MasSamore introduced him
self to Banded Oh the I'd of last month,
known citizen of Baltimore. They
took cocktail, when the prisoner
slipped some drug in the drink, and
Mr.. Banded knew nothing more
till next morning when he
awoke in hotel with his shirt front cut
out and his diamond stud and gold
watch and chain gone. The prisoner
was subsequently captured at the in
auguration in Washington. Later the
watch was sent by some one to the mar
shall of police. Massamore pleaded
guilty to the indictment and came be-
fore Judge Phelps and begged for
mercy, imploring the court for the sake
of his respectable relatives to be leni-
ent. Judge Phelps said as the prisoner
had thrown himself upon the mercy of

had been returned, the court would
sentence him to two and one
half years in the penitentiary. These
words fell like thunderbolt on tine
ears of the prisoner, and he broke forth
afreSh and cried as if his heart would
break. He begged the court for the
sake of his dear old mother to take the
six months off. The judges heart was
touched and he acceded to the request.
and he made the sentence an even two
years. Massamore was then seized with
an eplleptic fit, and with scream fell
to the floor. His shrieks and means
were pitiful. Deputy wardens took him
to the lookup, while he fought like mad
man.. He soon recovered, and during
the afternoon was safely lodged in his
new quarters. 1t is stated that Massa-
more is an old criminal, and that his
picture adOrns Inspector Byrne's art
gallery in New York. His fit is sup
posed to have been a sham.

Suspicious Death of Charles
Hutchinson at Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 3.-The police of the
town of Lake were notified early to-day
that Charles Hutchinson had been MUIR
dered at 1920 Ashland evenue. The
police found Hutchinson's body lying
on bed, which was saturated with
blood. The jugular vein had been sew
cred, evidently by some sharp Instru-
ment. Hutchinson and his wife lived
at the above number with Patrick Rey-
nOlds. Mrs. Reynolds was Hutchin-
sons sister. The Reynolds claim that
Hutchinson came home last night badly
cut up, saying he had been attacked in
the street, and that he lay down on the
bed and died before they could summon
medical attendance. From the neigh
bOrs, however, it was learned that there
was general family row, during which
it is believed Hutchinson was stabbed.
The police think that Patrick Reynolds
did the stabbing, and arrested him and
his wife and his brother John.

LUMBER RATES.
Action Will Be Taken on the Sub
jeCt Next Week.

CHICAGO, April 2.-The reduction in
lumber rates to the Missouri river, an
nouDced Saturday. will not go into eff
feet at once. The matter will be acted
upon at the meeting of the Western
Freight association next week. If the
meeting decides against reduction, the
roads will give the required ten days
notice of a reduction unless a demand
for arbitration under the presidents
agreement should prevail. But even if
the arbitration should be against re-
duction, the roads can put the reduced
rate in effect ten days thereafter, and it
is said the Chicago d Alton will put the
10-eent rate into effect, as it can not get
any business at the present rates, on
account of the yellow pine competition
from Southern points.
