WILL NOT WAR OVER ACRE.
Brazil and Bolivia Are to Arbitrate
Disputed Territory.

The Bolivian government has replied
to the Brazilian government agreeing to
Brazilian occupation and administration
Of the Acre territory pending the settle
ment Of the dispute and offering to send
a minister plenipotentiary to Brazil In
vested with full powers to negotiate q
settlement. The Brazilian government
sent an ultimatum to Bolivia in Decem-
Der to the effect that should Bolivia at
tempt to take possession of the disputed
territory Of Acre Brazil would occupy
and administer it until a reasonable set
Element of the whole dispute had been
reached.
The Bolivians contend that the owner
ship of the Acre territory never has been
in dispute, that it's sovereignty has been
acknowledged by Brazil by treaty in
1867 by the appointment by Brazil Of
consular representation and by other
acts. The grant by Bolivia to an Anglo
American syndicate, which Is developing
the rubber industry of the Acre tract
has been one Of the questions which have
brought the controversy to an issue.
The land in question is a strip Of ter
ritory which extends in a triangular form
between Brazil, Peru and Bolivia. It's
boundaries are i'll defined and the nation
atty of it's people is still more vague,
although the Brazilians are in the ma
jority. It's chief value is as source of
rubber supply. The title to the territory
has been for long time in dispute, but
four years ago, after protracted contro-
versy, Brazil agreed to recognize the
rights of Bolivia. The Brazilian party
in Acre was bitterly opposed to this ar
rangement, and made some feeble resist
ance, which soon subsidized.
Peru then set up claims to the terri
tory, and the situation was further COM
plicated by the act of the Bolivian gov
eminent in selling the little state, which
never had been organized or really sub
dued, to an Anglo-American syndicate,

Rockefeller and j. ID. RoChEfELAhh
stating that antitrust legislation must
be stopped is true. There was ques-
ton, however, as to the kilograms being
genuine. John D. Rockefeller was in
terviewed, and declined to discuss the
matter.
These kilograms stated, the correspon-
dent says, that an attorney for the Stand
ard Oil Company would come to Wash
ington and confer with the Senators. This
attorney, a bright young man, did ap-
pear, and did confer with two Senators.
But his conference was brief. They said
to him: young man, the best thing you
can do is to get on the first train and
return to New York" He did.
President Roosevelt was shown two Of
the kilograms by Senator. The Sen
ator showing the messages said: eff nee
essary to remove obstruction to the pas
sage of the legislation l will rise in the
Senate and read this telegram, and we
shall see if John d. Rockefeller is to
dictate what Congress shall do" He was
indignant, and so was the President.
1t was on the Presidents personal au-
therity that the statement was sent out
that a special session of the Fifty eighth
Congress would be called March if
Congress failed to pass antitrust bills
The episode of the Rockefeller kilograms
is the talk of Washington.
A Washington dispatch to a New York
paper says: ''It is explained that it was
not John D. Rockefeller who signed the
kilograms to six United States Senators
Friday, but an attorney in Mr.. Rookie
feller's employment, who, understanding
the wishes Of Mr.. Rockefeller, took the
liberty of signing Mr.. Rockefeler's name.
The attorney then came to Washington
to follow up the message and explain the
wishes of the Standard Oil corporation"

Thirty-nin Cents Is the Cost of Max

A local business man who was once
the representative Of one of the big

how he became a member Of the bar

years ago. He had occasion to go to
one of the inland counties of the State
to make an examination of the county
records in order to ascertain the stand
ing in the county Of number of coun-
try merchants. Upon reaching the
railroad station he found it necessary
to drive a distance of ten miles or more
over a road which was mere apology
for a highway. Reaching the county
seat, he went to the clerks Office in the
courthouse and proceeded to look over
the records as he had done in many
other places without any objection be-
ing offered. While he was still on his
first book he was asked by one Of the
clerks if he was a member of the bar.
mot in Virginia." he answered in
tone indicating that he was member
Of the bar elsewhere.
I'm sorry" said the young man,
"but in this county it is against the
rules for anybody other than a lawyer
to handle the books"
1t was explained to the clerk that the
legal talent in the firms employ could
not be found, and as the lawyer lived
more than two miles away he would
not have time to get him unless he
missed the next train.
'There will be no trouble in arrang-
ing the matter" the clerk informed the
Washingtonian.
Entering a private room, the oath
subscribed to by attorneys was ad-
ministered and a certificate showing
the stranger was full-fedged lawyer
was handed over to him.
what shall 1 do now?" the clerk
was asked.
PAY the fee," he answered.
'What Is the amount?"
'Thirty-nine CENTS" was the clerks
prompt response.
The money was paid and the man
from Washington returned home and
told how he became a lawyer for the
