SUPREME COUNCIL
ROYAL ARCANUM
QUESTION OF ADVANCING RATES
NOT SETTLED.
Wide Divergence Of Ideas on the Sub.
ject May Greatly ProIons the
Session.

Atlantic City, N. j., May 22.-Failure
en- the part of members of the special
committee to agree on the question
OF advancing the rates prevented that
matter coming up for final disposition
at the meeting today Of the supreme
eoucil, Royal Arcanum. In formal dis
cussion among the members a diver
eence of opinion relative to the read
justments of rates was shown, and it
may be that this matter will draw out
10 such length that 1t will be the means
OF prolonging the session.
The committee on claims reported on
matters in litigation, and 1t was in
structed to place all legal business in
the hands of counsel for the body, with
full power to act.
Appeals Of minor matters decided by
the grand regent against the appellants
were upheld by the committee on ap-
peals, who finished their work today,
and its report was confirmed. Fees for
deposit Of withdrawal cards by mem
bers who change their membership
were ordered discontinued by resolu-
tion which incorporated the new ruling
IN the laws o1 the order. The council
also ratified resolution commencing
grand councils for the publication Of
Arcanum papers. This closed the busi-
ness session for the day.

tempt to secure the lines Mr.. Case was

ture was reduced. Mr.. Case was re-

CANAL SUPPLIES
Buy at Home, Says Tawney, II We
Don't Get Cheated.

Washington, ID. c., May 22.-Repre-
sentative Tawney of Minnesota, who
for year or so has been an ardent
tariff revisionist, called at the White
House today.
''If the prices of manufactured arti-
Cles in this country are higher than
they are abroad, plus the duty, we cer-
aainly ought to buy our supplies for
the canal in foreign markets." said Mr..
Tawney. 'If, on the contrary, the
home markets ask no more than the
amount wanted in foreign markets,
with the duty added, we should buy at
Eome. That question, it seems to me,
ought to be easily determined, and l
think is the fair way to look at the
case"

asked about his presence in Mrs. Scrib-
ner's fiat, and asked: Did you hear
Mrs. Scribner say anything to her hus-
band?"

you expect me to sit still here and not

Having denied he was ever guilty Of
misconduct with Mrs. Scribner. Hig-
gins said ever If he had been he would

SUIT BROUGHT
Against shipbuilding Company for
Failure to Deliver Goods
on Time.


New York, May 22.-Suit was be-
gun in the United States circuit court
today by James s. Fahnestock, Jr.,
on behalf of the Atlantic Transport
steamship Co., against the New York
Shipbuilding Co., to recover $139,517
with interest from May "a, 1904. The
suit was brought because of the failure
of the shipbuilding company to de-
liver four steamships within the time
specified in the contract.
1t appears, according to the COM
plant that the defendant company in
December 1900 agreed to build and
deliver the four ships, two by Septem-
Der l, 1902, and the other two by Dec
ember II of the same year. On June
10, 1902, an extension of time was
granted, the shipbuilding company
agreeing to reimburse the Atlantic
Transport Company for the interest
accumulating because of this new
agreement, at the rate of per cent a
year.
The ships were delivered on May %,
1904 and the amount of interest due
was calculated, according to the agree
ment with ]. Pierpont Morgan, at
$lS9,5l7. On March H., 1908, the At
lantic Transport Company, assigned its
rights to f. H. Hartman, who subse-
Quently, in April last, assigned these
rights to the Atlantic Transport Com
pany which later on assigned its rights

In Collusion.

Washington, May 22.-It is stated
that evidence Is now in possession
of the president showing beyond the
shadow of doubt that certain for
eign governments are active in collu-

sending undesirable immigrants into
the United States.
Il is not only probable that the
state department will take steps to
prevent further abuses but congress
win be asked by the president to pro-
vide more restrictive measures.

AN UNWISE VETO.

The Journal believes that Gov ernor Davis did a very unwise thing in vetoing that section of the State University appropriation bill which provides that no county shall furnish more students than dts quota. Each county in the state k entitled to a certain num- Der of free scholarships in the University, according to the pop ulation of the county. However. when any county has failed to fur nish its quota, Washington county has been permitted to use these scholarships, and by reason of this, that county now has 313 students in the University, when 1t is only entitled to about 3S. The legisla- tnre appropriated S202, 900 for the maintenance of the University and placed a section in the bill provid- ing that no county shall be per mitted to furnish more than it's regular quota, and all students en- tering from such county were re- quired to pay tuition. There are now total of 76S students in the University and 313, or nearly half of these are from Washington county. The Journal thinks it is unfair and unjust to tax the peo- pie of the state of Arkansas to maintain school for the special benefit of Washington county.

The report comes from Little Rock that Attorney General Rog- CTS will at once begin proceedings t0 enjoin the state auditor from paying warrants under the act ap- propriating S25, 900 for the main teuance of the state militia during bhe next two years.
 He declares that the appropria- tion is not for a necessary current expense of the state government and that 1t was not constitutional ly passed by the required two- thirds majority of all the mem- bers elected to the general assem- bly. It was passed by the house by vote of II to 2S, whereas General Rogers holds that 1t was necessary to have received 61 votes to be valid. 1t appears that $l, ,000 has already been drawn on the appropriation.

The Newark journal., 1905-05-12

Reports from Little Rock say that Attorney General Rogers and Governor Davis have kicked up a row, and have been denouncing each other as liars. If there has been time during the past six years that all the Arkansas state officials were on good terms we do not recall the fact. In fact, 1t seems that Arkansas is afflicted with the worst lot of small-calibre politicians of any state in the en- tire Union.
