official statement prepared by the de-
partment of agriculture, shows that

291,79 The difference went into the
pockets Of American farmers.

A German proverb says speech Is

money question, and it certainly has
gone back on silver, If that means any
speech positively committing 1t to
friendliness to any sane system of
finance.

Seventeen Young Japanese Artists Protest Deportation.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct. IS. A hearing which is to determine, subject to pos sible revision at Washington, whether the seventeen geisha girls who are now held prisoners here shall be per- mitted to remain in this country or shall be returned to Japan has begun at the office of James R. Dunn, in spector of immigration.
 The girls have been employed at a concession on the Pike at the worlds fair Their services not being longer required, it is proposed to send them back to their homes, but they do not want to go back and are making q fight, with the assistance of attorneys whom they have retained, to be per- mitted to stay here.
 The contention of the girls is that they have been admitted legally to the country, that they are high class art tsts and that to compel them to return to Japan when they would rather re- main in America and follow their pro fession would be an encroachment on their rights.

 Five Years Sentences For Barrett,
 DoIan and Garrett.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct 1S.- Thomas E. Bar rett, former marshal of the St. Louis court of appeals; John F. Dolan, form CT chairman of the Democratic city cen tral committee, and Policeman Frank Garrett have had their sentences re affirmed by the United States circuit court of appeals at St. Paul. They were convicted of aiding and abetting fraudulent naturalization. The United States court, in which they were con- victed, sentenced each to five years Imprisonment in the Missouri peniten- tiary.
 During the course of an investigation the federal authorities learned that aliens coming to St. Louis and not en- titled to citizenship had been natural ized by the wholesale, that not only did the applicants often fail to appear at court, but that they were handed the necessary papers at their. homes. A number of arrests followed these disclosures, and among those caught were Nathan Levin, president of the Hebrew Jefferson club, and John Bar baglia.
 It developed at the trial of Barrett, Garrett and DolaI that hundreds of nat uralization papers had been distributed.

AK FOR THREE HEADS
President Removes Incompe-
 tent Steamboat Inspectors.
AS OUTCOME OF SLOCUM HORROR.
Robert s. Rodie, James A. Dumont and 1T. H. Barrett Charged With Inemciency and Neglect
 of Du{y.

{ WASHINGTON, Oct 1S.-President Roosevelt has removed from office Robert S. Rodie, supervising inspector of the steamboat inspection service, Second district, located at New York. This action was taken on account of the disclosures i'll the report of the na- tional commission appointed to inyesti- gate the General Slocum disaster.
 Tn accordance with the president s directions and in consonance with the recommendations with the Slocum commission Secretary Metcan of the department of commerce and labor has taken preliminary steps toward the removal of James A. Dumont, inspect or of hulls, and Thomas H. Barrett, in spector of boilers, both of the port of New York Statements of charges against them have been forwarded to them. The charges are based on the findings of the commission which in vestigated the disaster to the General Slocum.
 They are charged with neglect. of duty, incompetency and inefficiency. They will be required under the civil 5SGEN1CG& slO lldhC4 duS W CL tO the charges within a reasonable tiIne,' z the precise time being left to the dis erection of Secretary Metcalf. 1t is ex- pected that the answers of both Du- mont and Barrett will be received by Secretary Metcalf this week,
 It was not known to President Roose- welt that Supervising Inspector Rodie was the holder of presidential office. It was supposed by the president when he wrote his letter to Secretary Metcalf on the Slocum report that Rodie was an appointee of the secretary of com merce and labor. For that reason he directed the secretary in that letter to take steps for the removal of Rodie, Dumont and Barrett. AS soon as he learned that Rodie held presidential office he gave directions that removal papers be sent to him at once from the department of commerce and labor.
 He signed them, and MT. Rodie will be notified by the department that he has been removed
 Further carrying into effect the rec concentrations of the Slocum commis- sion, Secretary Metcalf has called a meeting of the steamboat inspectors of the country, to be held in Washington on the 25th inst, when the needs of the service will be considered thor oughly, and, in accordance with the presidents directions, such changes will be made in the regulations in the service as are recommended by the Slocum commission.

NEW OFFICE BUILDING.
Gen. Mills Applies for Permit for One
on G Street Northwest.


General Arson Mills today made ann1ica-
ton at the District building Office for a
permit to construct an eight-story office
building fronting on G street near 18th
street northwest, and adjoining his pres
ent Office building at the corner of 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue, occupied
by the Navy Department. General Mills
proposes that the new building shall be
constructed of the same material as his
present new building, and that the two
structures shall be practically Identical in
style and appearance.
There seems to be some question relative
to the granting of permit for the erection
Of this proposed eight-story building 'front.'
ing on G street. That street. it is pointed
out. is a residence street, and under a
law recently enacted buildings over eighty
feet In height cannot be erected on resi-
dence streets in the District. The proposed
building Of eight stories. 1t is stated, would
be about 100 feet high.
General Mills recently completed office
building at 18th and Pennsylvania avenue
Is eight stories high. but 1t Is on the corner
of the street and faces Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and abuts on that street, which is des-
ignated as business thoroughfare. The
proposed building 1t Is stated, will not
extend through the block to Pennsylvania
avenue.
The question as to the status of street
was raised short time ago when the
Y. NJ c. A. desired to have G street official
ly designated as a business street in order
that the association might obtain q permit
for the construction Of building over
eighty feet high on the site of Its present
building. The association. however, was
unsuccessful in its efforts to obtain the
designation of G street as a business
thoroughfare. No definite action has as yet
been taken by the District officials relative
to General Mills application.
