Let Us Put

Your Houses
And Collect Your Rents.

The very condition of our list of va.
can't houses at present argues i'm the
strongest possible terms for your placing
your property I'm our hands. We need
more houses right now to meet am actual
demand. If any of your property is lag
ging unprofitably ON your hands, place it
with us and We'll find the tenant who
wants 1t.
The department of renting and man
aging property here is organized I'm a
manner that results i'm the best possible
service to owner and tenant alike 1t Is
conducted by men whose sole business 1T
Is to look out for the houses under their
charge-to keep them rented-to bring
them to the very limit of profita beness
to their owners. Their record of sue
cesses in the management of Real Estate
. is conclusive argument with every
owner who seeks the very best possible
service.
To reiterate-we need more houses
to meet demand we have created. Let
us have yours. We can obtain tenants
at once.

Readjustment of Schedules.

From time to time schedules must I'M
doubtedly be rearranged and readjusted to
meet the shifting needs of the country: but
this can with safety be done only by those
who are committed to the cause of the pro-
tective system To uproot and destroy that
system would be to insure the prostration
of business, the closing of factories the
impoverishment of the farmer, the ruin of
the capitalist and the starvation of the
wage-worker. Yet, If protection is indeed
robbery and if our opponents really be-
lieve what they say, then it is precisely
to the destruction and uprooting of the
tariff, and therefore of our business and
industry, that they are pledged. When our
opponents last obtained power it was on a
platform declaring a protective tariff "un-
constitutional" and the effort to put this
declaration into practice was one of the
causes of the general national prostration
lasting from 1898 to 1897. If a protective
tariff is either unconstitutional or rob

PANAMA CASE IN
FRENCH COURTS
Colombia Seeks to Prevent Sale
Of Canal to Amer
lea. 4.

Paris, March 9.--The case Of Col
ombia against the Panama Canal COM
pany came UP to-day before the first
chamber Of the tribunal Of, the Seine,.
M. Ditto presiding.
There are two cases before the
court, the first seeking to prevent the
transfer of the canal concession to
the United States and the other rela-
tive to the right Of Colombia to hold
shares in the company. The argu-
ments to-day were upon the first case.
The opening argument for Colombia
was made by Maitre CASTOR Brunei.
He cited the original concession re-
curing the express authorization Of
Colombia before any transfer could be
valid and asserted that Panama did
not now exist as a free and independent
state, but was simply a revolutionary
organization.
h Moreover, the rights which Colon
bia acquired under the terms Of the
original concession were inalienable
and could not be taken up by Panama,
even IT regular government existed.
Maitre Du Butt for the company,
insisted on the regularity of the or
ganizat1on of the government Of Pan
ANA, declared all the rights of Colon
bia had been extinguished and said the
company was bound to recognize the
condition of superior force which
transferred the sovereignty over the
canal route from Colombia to Panama.

suburb, has been deserted.

There is almost a complete suspen-

a result fully 5000 miners are idle to-
day.
Traffic on the Pennsylvania and Del

Washington, March s.-The senate
brought out most sensational testi-.
mony given by Francis M. Lyman,
president of the twelve apostles Of the
Mormon church and the man chosen
to be the successor Of President Smith.
& He is more free of speech than the
president Of the church, and his testi-
mony, tho not materially differing,
caused several of the apostles present
to shake their heads at the witness
for the purpose Of compelling more
discretion in answering questions.
He said that he became an apostle In
1880, and that Reed. Smoot became an
apostle in 1900. He said that Mr..
smoot had never reproVed him for liv-
ing in polygamy, eithersin public or In
the apostolic meetings: 80 &$.a
4. The name of John Henry Smith. a
polygamist, was given as the second
member of the twelve apostles, and
that of George Teasdale, az. poly
gamist, as the third; HeberaJ, Grant
a polygamist, fourth; John w. Taylor,
g, polygamist, fifth; Mr.sMerrfll, a poly
gamist, sixth; making FIVE apostles who
are conceded to be polygamists.
In regard to Mr.. Smoot, Mr.. Lyman
declared that Mr.. Snloot had never
asked him for consent TO become a
candidate for senator.Ss
w
thoro1y warned not to discuss poly
gamy, because we have yielded that
requirement Of the law not to teach
the theory Of polygamy.
In answer to a question by Senator
Oyerman, Mr.. Lyman said that despite
the manifesto of 1890 the president of
the church could issue authority upon
an elder to perform plural marriages.
| Chairman Burrows inquired if any
one was opposed fora position as
apostle because of polygamouss cohabi-

given by President Smith.
After much effort a statement was
obtained from the witness that he
