WORK OF CHRISTMAS
Danish Commissioner, Not Santa
Claus, Referred To.
FULL NAME MOST FORMIDABLE
Note of Identification From Secre-
tary Hay That Melted Us the
Danish West Indies.
New YORK. SUI, sssoHas Services

Washington. March 2S,-In view of the
action OF the house in directing an inquiry
into the statements made in the report Of
Walter Christmas to the Danish govern
lnent, officials of the state department
declined to make any comment. The de-
partment will at once begin the collec-
tion Of all communications relating to
Christmas and the Danish West Indian
transfer negotiations and will have cop
| les prepared for the Investigating COM
mittee.
Christmas. whose full name is Walter
Christmas Dircknick- H olmfeldt, was an
officer of the Danish navy, who, accord
! ing to his own admissions, was dismissed
| In disgrace from that service. He came
! to Washington in October, 1899, and 1T
was announced at the time that his pur-
| pose was to-, negotiate the sale of the
Danish Antilles to the United States. His
statement that he called on Secretary
Hay and endeavored TO- interest him T. IN n
| his mission is true. He told Mr. Hay
| that he had no official connection with
| the Danish government, but was in
position through friend in the ministry
at Copenhagen to bring about the re-
sumption Of negotiations and the ultimate
sale of the islands to the United States:
Mr.. Hay declined to deal with any person
! not an accredited representative OF Den
mark. F
Subsequently Christmas secured from
Mr.. Hay note of Identification to the
| American embassy in London and on the
basis of his representations Henry White,
| first secretary of the embassy, was sent
to Copenhagen by Secretary Hay to make
inquiries as to whether the Danish gov
eminent would sell it's West Indian pos
sessions. According to the information
.obtained here Mr.. White was met in
Copenhagen by Christmas, who accom-
panied him to the foreign ministry, but
was not present at Mr.. Whites Interview
with the minister of foreign affairs.
The understanding here is that Christ
mas went only to the door of the min
| listers office with Mr.. White. The in
quiries which Mr.. White made resulted
in the initiation of official negotiations
for the sale Of the islands These ne
gotiations eliminated in the treaty signed
| in Washington by which Denmark agreed
to sell the islands for 100000.

Breaking Sentence.
Washington, March 2S.-Following is
signed statement made by Niels Gron, re-
garding the Christmas statement:'
When early in February last, the contents
of Walter Christmas secret report to the
Danish government relative to the transfer
of the Danish West India islands to the
United States became public, party COM
prisng a large portion of Denmarks best
and most influential men and highest in
terests, realizing that since Christmas had
in the furtherance of the pending treaty
served by direct authority, first, the secre-
tary of state of the United States, and after
ward the Danish prime minister, Mr.. Hor
ring, it would be impossible to disassociate
his efforts from the treaty, the methods
set forth in his report from the official nego
tiation, and realizing further, that if the
present treaty were consummated and per-
mitted to take effect, Denmark would be
obliged to stand before the world as having
made use Of, and the United States as hay
ing accepted such negotiations as said Christ
mas sets forth and describes in the above
mentioned report, and since it was thought
that that would place the people of the two
nations in an unfavorable and regrettable
light, 1 was requested by the party referred
to, to journey with all speed from Copen-
hagen to Washington and lay before the
representatives Of the people OF the United
States the facts touching certain parts of the
negotiations in order that any further steps
taken by the United States towards causing
the taking effect of the treaty in question
might be done with full knowledge of the
situation, -r g..

COFFEE PHILOSOPHY

The most dangerous false friend is the
one that under the guise of friendship,
day by day insinuates himself into your
good graces and takes advantage of the
association to do you harm; that Is ex-
actly the position of coffee. 1t enters
your sanctum under the guise of warm,
close friend and slowly, day by day, works
away at your destruction.
Why this should be no one can say, but
1t is fact, nevertheless. Hundreds of
thousands are testifying of the terrible
straits that coffee drinking has led them
into.
In our clearer moments we know that
health, bounding, perfect health brings
with 1t the poise OF nerve and clearness of
mind that makes us kings instead of
slaves, and brings a heaven on earth to
US.
Through the very perversity of man
kind, showing the elements of a tangible
demon, we persist in taking into mouth
and stomach the false friend even after
we know it is working to throw us out of
the peaceful heaven of health, and set I'D
within us that condition of disease that
the nerves show variously in dyspepsia,
heart trouble, kidney trouble, etc., ETC.
The patient physician who has, for
years, been explaining to different people
under his care the powerful effects Of
coffee on highly organized persons, finally
becomes bit careless and feels that he
can only point out the facts and then let
patients go their own path. Their very
perversity will make Of them slaves, and
they follow the habit with the blind,
logged fatalism that cannot be under
stood.
Coffee ''soaks" them certain and sure,
and when they are hit hard enough they
finally come around to the point where
they are forced to give it up, then Postum
Food Coffee comes as relief in the time
Of desperate trouble. 1t requires no eff
fort to slip off coffee drinking for we'll
made Postum and the change in health Is
some thing miraculous in many cases.

Christmas' Attorney Washes His
Hands of the Whole Affair.
New York, March 2S.-Carl Fischer
Hansen Of this city, who was attorney
for Walter Christmas, the representative
Of the Danish government in the over
lures for the purchase of the Danish
West Indian islands in 1900, was indignant
at the conduct of his client shown in his
secret report to the Danish ministry.
Ordinarily, legal etiquette" said he,
"would prevent my speaking. But this
report is so defamatory and outrageous
that I feel justified in washing my hands
of the whole affair."
Mr.. Fischer-Hansen described the
course of the Danish representative as it
appeared to MIN. Christmas conducted
Secretary White of the American embassy
to London and to Copenhagen. The law
yer added:
At that point his services ended. The ne
gotiations from there on were carried for
ward by the American minister in Denmark
and the Danish minister at Washington. This
report was evidently made with the belief
that it could neRery see the light, but its
publication has shown its absurdity. l am
quite sure Christmas never saw the mel
he. mentions, and I believe the report was
made for the purpose of personal gain.

MAJORITY AGAINST
Iowa Railway Bill Recommended
for Indefinite Postponement
THE REFORM FORCES SCATTER
No Effort Likely to BE Made to over
ride Governors Veto Of the
Merger Bill. y

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, March 2S.-The house
ways and means committee by vote OF
II to decided to report the railroad as
sessment bill for indefinite postponement.
The railroad lobby was busy up to the
moment OF the meeting of the committee
in the efforts to force hesitating members
into line against the bill. There will be
a minority report in favor or the Dill,
| however, and thus a test of strength on
the floor of the house. Cowles of Kossuth
Larrabee of Fayette, Hughes of Iowa,
Whiting of Monona and Kendall OF Mon
roe will sign the minority report. Sew
eral members elected on reform plat
forms in the Cummins movement voted
against the bill.
The house pardon committee has voted
s to against granting pardon to Wesley
Elkins, the Clayton county boy, now in
Aramosa prison for the murder of his
in favor of a pardon.
The house has passed the bill provid-
ing for the commitment, detention and
care Of inebriates, dipsomaniacs and those
addicted to the excessive use of narcotics
in one or mere Of the state institutions
! for the insane.
Tax Ferrets Escape.
The antitax ferret bill has been passed
by the house but in a form so much
amended as to take the life out of it. 1t
will modify the law but little and restrict
the tax ferrets in no great degree. The
most important provisions of the bill are
those, providing for twenty days notice
to persons On whom demand is made for
taxes on property withheld from assess
ment and for appeal to the district court.
Temple of Clarke has introduced in the
mouse a resolution for the appointment
of a Sitting committee of seven members.
This has not been voted on as yet, but is
taken to be indicative of an early ad-
| jonrnment. The session will probably
| close inside Of two weeks. ..-. ~
Veto Will Stand. ~
| The governors veto of the Molsberry
merger bill continues to be the chief
! theme Of discussion While many mem
/ bers have been sounded by the railroad
lobby, it appears probable now no effort
| will be made to try to override the veto.
The leaders Of the railroad forces, partic-
ularly ]. w. Blythe of the Burlington, are
| greatly angered over the action of Gov
ernor Cummins, and for a time threat
| ened they would pass the railway taxation
| bill, which they declare Cummins does
! not want, just in order to get even. All
! the indications now are this plan has
! been reconsidered. At least, such pur-
| pose did not develop in the house ways
and means committee when the bill was
recommended for indefinite postponement.
| The senate passed the Anderson road
bill making the township the unit and
| requiring all road taxes to be paid in
cash. 1t also provides for the employ
| ment of a superintendent of roads in
each township Having already passed
| the house it will become a law as soon
as signed by the governor.

Bring Her a Husband.
Special to The Journal
Stonefort, Ill, March 28-A wedding
with dime novel tinge has taken place
here. While principal of the school a
month ago, Professor F. W. Womack was
called upon to whip Miss Mary Marshall,
fair pupil of Is summers, for disobeying
the rules of the school, This was a hard
task to perform, and thinking to escape
it he gave her the choice between a whip
ping and suspension from school, and she
chose the whipping, which the professor
proceeded to administer publicly.
While the lashes were falling the plead
ing face Of the pupil met the eyes of the
professor. Stern discipline turned into a
feeling of love and pity for his fair pris-
oner, he dropped his lash and hung his
head in shame, and only pride and the
presence of the school pupils forbade him
asking her forgiveness and leading her
away. A few days after the school closed
the pair were married and are apparently
the happiest couple in the vicinity.
