CLAIMS OF SAMOAN LOSSES
Case to Be Presented to King Oscar for
Arbitration,

The State Department is preparing to pre-
sent to King Oscar, the arbitrator of the
issues between the United States and Eng
land on the one side and Germany on the
other, growing out of the Samoan troubles
OF 1889, the second phase Of the case, and
finds Itself in an embarra ssing position The
recent decision of King Oscar touched only
the principle involved, namely, the liability
of the United States and Great Britain
for damages sustained by foreigners as
result of the joint naval operations
That having been decided against the
United States and Great Britain and In
favor Of Germany, the next step In order
Is to prepare and submit to the arbitrator
detailed statements of the individual losses.
By the terms of the arbitration treaty each
of the countries concerned undertook to
look after the claims Of it's own citizens.
Thus it happens in the case of the United
States that the government Is in the
peculiar position of presenting to the arbi-
traitor for payment the claims of number
of American citizens after it had through
elaborate argument presented to the ar
bitrator by special counsel specifically de-
MED liability for any such claims. In other
words, then, the State Department is to act
in double capacity in the second stage
OF the arbitration, for which it is now pre-
pairing, first submitting a number of claims
and then doing its best either to defeat
them or reduce them to minimum

CLEANING THE TREASURY.
The Process May Be Used on the State
War and Navy Building.

In case of the success of the operations
for restoring the east front of the treasury
building to its original color by the sand
blast process it is probable the same method
will be employed in cleaning the dust
stained east front of the State, War and
Navy Departments building. The east front
of the treasury is built of sandstone while
the newer building is constructed of granite
Although Colonel Bingham. the engineer
officer in charge of public buildings and
grounds, advocates the use of the sand blast
on the east front of the State, War and
Navy Departments building, he says it
should not be used for cleaning purposes on
the other fronts of that building or in the
case of any other building
1t Is impossible said he, "to clean a
great building SO well that all the stone In

ton of age and weather renders a building

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP.
Friends of Aspirants Active in Secur-

Although surface indications denoted a
calm by reason of this being a holiday,
much In the way of active work was quietly
done today in the matter of furthering the
interests of the several candidates for ap-
pointment as United States attorney for
the District of Columbia. The friends Of
those who hope to secure the Office were
busy securing Endorsements and otherwise
endeavoring to add to the chances of their
candidates for success. Another careful
canvass of the field this afternoon de-
veloped that the list from which the Sc
lection will in all probability be made in
cludes the names of Messrs. D. w. Baker,
Chas. Maurice Smith, Tracy l.. Jeffords,
E. H. Thomas. Hugh T. Taggart and An
drew B. Duvall
The name of Mr. Duvall is the latest to
be suggested as addition to the list.
A lawyer who is closely associated with
him remarked today: Several Of the lead
ing members of the bar have approached
Mr. DuvaH and asked him to permit his
name to be used in connection with the
United States attorneyShip.
Because of recent successes in several I'M
portant civil cases in which the govern
ment was deeply interested Mr.. Duvall is
highly regarded by the officials of the De-
partment of Justice. Although personally
he is not making fight, 1t would not sur
prise me in the least to hear that he had
been selected to succeed Mr.. Gould"
In behalf or Mr Baker II was argued to-
day that merely because he owns a small
farm in Maryland and spends part Of his
time there is no reason why it should be
even intimated that he Is not a full-fiedged

Bakers entire professional career has been

United States attorney Is emphatically de-

able to understand from what source the
statement originated.
THE gratifying support Mr.. Jeffords is
receiving both from the leading members of
the bar and from other influential sources

make his supporters confident Of success. -
