HIGHEST GRADE OF LEGION

BY Associated Press.)

PARIS, June 1s.--Presldent Louhct has
conferred upon the American Ambassa--
dor. General Porter. the grand cross OF
the Legion Of Honor which Is the
highest grade OF that historic order. It
Is an honor rarely bestowed even on
chiefs of State and Ambassadors. ana
1t is tho first time 1t has ever been
offered to a representative OF America.
AS under the provision OF tho Con-,
stitution the acceptance OF any mark OF
distinction from foreign country even
from republic, requires the approval
of Congress, final action In the matter
will await the authorization OF that
body.
Foreign Minister Delcasse called at the
Ambassadors residence this morning and
possibly presented him with the superb
insignia of the grand cross. This con-
sists Of wide, red silk band. worn
across the breast, having an enameled
gold cross at the hip, with an elaborate
silver star to be worn on the rlsht
breast.
NJ. Decasse accompanied the presenta-
ton by an earnest expression of the nigh
personal esteem which I.oubet and him
self felt toward the American representa-
tive
The grand cross is the highest OF the
five grades of the Legion of Honor,
These consist, first, of chnyalier and
second officer; third. commanders; fourth,
grand officer: and fifth, grand cross The
latter Is the grade worn by NJ. Loubet,
and has been conferred only few times
In recent years.
That the American Ambassador should
have been singled out for this notable
honor Is considered to be personal III
butte toghim and another evidence Of the
cordial sentiments of the French govern
mcnt towards America. t35

result Of his latest investigation and
research along the stream in question.
The Pathfinder project, which con-
templates the erection of a dam in the
Platte river canon between Wendover
and Hartville. is pronounced the most
favorable Of the projects. and while
the actual apportionment Of funds for
this work has not been made, Senator
Warren 10 encouraged in the belief.
from his interview with the reclama.
ton oMcers, that the apportionment
will soon be made. and that work on
the project will commence during the

Carter Served Four Years-says
Estate 10 Tainted With Crime.

Leavenworth .Kas., March 16.-It is
reported that Oberlin Carter, in a let
ter to a friend, says that If he wins
his suit with the government for q
$722. 900 estate which the government
attached, he will never touch one pen
ny of the estate, but turn it over tC
charity. The governments claim is
based on the belief that the estate is
the proceeds of the Savannah harbol
frauds for which Carter served foul
Year,. Carter has always been conf
dent of winning this suit. which he be
lieves would remove the stigma OF
his Incarceration. Carter's alleged let
ter Is reported to contain the statement
that he considers the estate tainted
because it comes from Westcott, his
father.in-law. who deserted him in his
hour of need.
