WHITE HOUSE
EASTER EGGS

WASHINGTON, d. c., April A.
On the south grounds of the White
House today was celebrated the annual
Easter egg rolling, though in point Of
fact few eggs were rolled, owing to
the vast crowds. BY direction of the
president the grounds were opened at
9 o'clock and within an hour there was
an assemblage of tots of all ages, sizes
and colors, each with his or her basket
of gayly colored eggs, and intent upon
enjoying the pleasures of the time
honorcd fete. In accordance with the
custom, children only were admitted in
the morning. In the afternoon the
Marine band added zest to the enjoy
ment of the multitude, and throng
gathered in front of the balcony and
watched for the president and Mrs,
Roosevelt.
Earlier in the day the younger
children of the presidents family join
ed the egg-rollers and entered enthusi-
astically into the pleasures of the fete.
At 3 o'clock President and Mrs. Roose,
welt, accompanied by several friends
stepped out on the balcony. The crowd
cheered and President and Mrs. Roose :
welt bowed their acknowledgements.
The presidents party remained but 4
few minutes, then stepped inside and
looked out the windows. As evening
approached the crowd gradually dwin-
died, and before night the lawns re
sembled the deserted grounds of a cir
Gus. All around were broken eggs and
shells, lunch boxes and old papers,
vivid il not picturesque reminders of
the days sport.

WASHINGTON. April, 4.-Sensa-
tional testimony was given by George
II. Maxwell, president of the National
Irrigation association, before the
house committee on irrigation today.

to urge the repeal of the desert land
act. He was asked pointed questions
relating to the lobby for the repeal

existence, but admitted that his as

When asked how the association
was supported, he said by contribu-
tons from railroads and others He
named the following as paying $4,000
each annually: The Great Northern.

$4,000.
The association. he said. was or
ganized to help in the passage of the
original irrigation act and to keep up

roads contributed because they ems
dorsed this policy. They had not been
sounded on the project of repeating

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The su-
preme court today decided that feat
ure of the Hearst case against the
anthracite coal carrying companies
which endeavors to force ruling of
the interstate commerce commission
requiring witnesses and officials of
the roads in question to present GER
tain papers and records, access to
which is desired. The court decided
that the right of direct appeal to the
supreme court of the United States in
such cases does exist and that 1t
therefore took the case 1t further
decides that the commission had the
right to take up the case although
the complaint of Hearst could show
no financial and direct interest in the
proceedings.
The important part of the ruling Is
that the testimony desired was rele-
want with that to the contract desired
and should have been put in evidence,
having a legitimate bearing on the
controversy. The adverse decision of
the lower court is overruled and the
case is remanded for a hearing in con-
formity with the decision. Justice
Day handed down the opinion. JUS

NORTHERN PACIFIC
IMPROVEMENTS

The Northern Pacific will spend
about 10000 this year in improve
ing its roadhed in western Montana
unless a decided falling off In earn
ings interferes with present plans.
Good progress is being made by
Twohy Bros. & Foley in carrying out
their contract for the revision of the
line between Hope. Idaho. and Trout
Greek. This work was started last
year and when completed will repre-
sent an outlay of hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars.
This work is simply the cutting out
of curves and the reduction of grades,
but when completed II will make a
vast difference in the expense of haul
ing freight over that part of the line.
Just as soon as that contract Is fin
ished II is the purpose to work east
ward on the same plan. Everywhere
possible grades will be reduced and
the line will be Strengthened. The
work of replacing wooden bridges
with dirt fills or steel structures will
be continued. The policy of making
the line as straight as possible and
of reducing grades to minimum will
go ahead just as rapidly as income
will Justify the necessary expendi-
lures.

tSptcldl 10 lie ITesSJ
SEATTLE. April Awhile reports
of the struggle for the control of the
Northern Pacific railway come from
New York, it is known to be an in
disputable fact that the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern railroads
in the state of Washington are at
daggers' points.
Men here who are on the inside
claim to know as a positive fact that
Governor Mcbride and George Steven
son, the head of the Northern Pacific
lobby, were recently closeted together
in Tacoma for nine solid hours, and
that when they came forth from that
conference a working agreement had
been made between the two political
forces.
just what the nature of the terms
or whether or not there are any spec
ific terms has not been learned posi-
lively, although it is claimed that the
agreement is of the nature of lay
down by the Northern Pacific crowd
to what is now considered in western
Washington the inevitable, that is,
the election of Mcbride and the estab-
lishment of railroad commission.
I'D. Farrell. representative of the
Great Northern interests in the state
of Washington, and the Piles senatorial
organization are known to have been
knitting Stevenson and his crowd, and
now the latter have turned and beat
them at their own double cross game.
The only concession said TO have
been granted by the Mcbride forces
is that the Northern Pacific will get
fair deal when the commission is
appointed that is, that the commission
Wills not be prejudiced against the
Northern Pacific, although it is stoatly
claimed by the Mcbride followers that
the governor did not go so far as to
promise to let the Northern Pacific
have a say in the naming of the COM
missioners 1t is said to be general
promise that the Northern Pacific will
not get the worst of it.
Governor Mcbride has not come out
fatty and denied the Tacoma conference
although he insists that he has not
receded an iota from his principles.
He neatly sidestepped general denial
which tends to substantiate the talk
of deal, in his speech at Ballard Sat-
urday night. He said:
IL have tried to fairly state to You
my position. I have tried to tell you
what l believe in. am standing
squarely upon the republican state
platform made at the Tacoma conven-
ton, because l believe it is right. I
believe in it again, because the majority
of the people of this state have said
it is right. will not retreat one one
hundredth part of an inch from the
position l have taken. will not make
single concession. even if by so doing
you would give me the support of your
whole delegation of lis men in the
state convention. Nor would ] do that
for the support of any other county
any set of counties, l care not what
part of the state they may be in"

CORRESPONDENTS HAVE
MORE TROUBLE

(Scripps News AsSociation.)
ST. PETERSBURG, April 4.--The
lifting of the censorship on outgoing
cablegrams has not relieved the situa-
ton much. True, kilograms are per-
mitted to pass unread, but copies of
dispatches are kept and read by the
censor, who has on several occasions
called correspondents up for lectures.
In the case of an Englishman who
telegraphed to a London paper stories
OF Engfshmen being insulted In Rus
STA more stringent measures were
taken. After being lectured severely
the man was politely advised to leave
the country, which he did on Sunday.
The Odessa Gazette published the
story and a decree was issued to the
editors informing them that the pub
fishing of false reports would be pun
ished by fine of 500 roubles and
three months Imprisonment.

Is Company II. national guard, on
the eve of disruption?
Things seem to have got to such
pass now that Adjutant General
James A. Drain has ordered an in
spection of the company for April 20.
when it is claimed that several
charges will be made.
Among the charges which report
says will be made are those of private
graft, drunkenness and misuse of the
funds of the company.
1t is claimed that when the inspec-
ton of the standing and equipment
be enough men-muster in and the re-
suit will be that the entire company
will be mustered out.
There formerly were from 60 to
60 men on the rolls, but there has
been so much dissatisfaction that
now on Tuesday nights when drills
are held there are only from Is to
80 men ready to answer roll call.
Things got to such a stage three
months ago that Captain NJ M. Rich
ardson instituted what he called a
delinquency court" Men who failed
to report for drill were brought up
before this court and fined. These
fines were turned into the company
fund, as per permission of the adiu-
tant general. One of the questions
| bothering the members is What has
become of the funds of the com
pany?" There is no treasurer.
Members Sign Protest.
Just few weeks ago "A petition
was started with AZ signatures which
was to be sent in to the adjutant
general protesting against giving the
| first lieutenancy to Roy Richardson,
| now first sergeant, or giving him any
commission. When everything was in
readiness some of the older members
of the company prevailed upon the
others not to send in the petition, but
to wait for the inspection.
| Another charge which will be pre-
| scented at the inspection is relative TO
| the examinations. the charge being
| that the questions at those times are
tipped Off to certain members of the
company and that there Is generally
a playing of favorites In all matters.
The treasury of the company is
badly depleted. The state allows but
| SEQ month for expenses, and this
| does not much more than pay the rent
of the armory, which Is located on
Madison street. Fire, lights and other
incidentals must be made up by the
| company with dances.
Captain Richardson is said to be
the cause of much of the dissatisfac-
ton In trying to secure all the Of
fees for the Richardson family. He
was formerly a major in charge OF a
battalion of the national guard. He
resigned and accepted his old position
of captain. Why this was done win
be considered at the inspection.
He attempted to resign some time
ago and had sent in his resignation
