Grippenberg Tells Of His Victory, but
for Lack of Support.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 20.-Gen. Grip
penberg. who arrived from Manchuria
Friday night, confirms the report that
he relinquished command after the re.
cent attempt of the Russians to flank
Field Marshal Oyama because of Gen.
Kuropatkin's refusal to send him help
when victory was in sight. Instead.
Grippenberg claims, Kuropatkin or
dered him to withdraw.
Grippenberg made a personal report
to the czar. Kuropatkins enemies are
making the most of Grippenberg's re-
port in order to force the former s
removal from the Manchurian COM
mand.
Grippenberg says the thanking move
ment would have been entirely success
full had not Kuropatkin twice refused
him reinforcements at critical mo-
ments. He had 100000 Japs at his
mercy, he says, but was forced to with
draw by kuropatkin, who was over
awed by the Japanese demonstr alton
on his center.

STATE IS JOBBED.
ROTH OF WHATCOM, WANTS LANDS
WITHDRAWN.
Says Much of the School and Grant
ed Lands of the State Haue Been
WrOngfulIy Disposed Of-COm-
mission Desired to lnye stjoate
the Whole Matter.

Olympia, Feb 21.-With the dec
laration that he had evidence that the
state OF Washington has been robbed
and Jobbed of much of its school and
granted lands, Representative Roth,
OF Whatcom county, announced last
night that he would today introduce a
bill withdrawing from sale for two
years all state lands of whatever char
acter. He will also introduce com
panion measure, which will provide
for the appointment of commission
OF three mem berJ, whose duty it shall
be to give full investigation to all
state lands and to frame laws for their
disposition. Representative Roth de-
clares further that he has talked his
measures over fully with the leaders
OF both houses, and that he feels con-
fident of their passage.
If they do not pass" he said, 81
shall at least force showing of the
cloven hoof and will know how to pro-
coed in order to rout out the guilty
ones
State land matters are at present so
badly mixed that there is none to be
found in either house who knows their
statum. Even those who are fathering
land measures confess their ignorance
upon many points which are consid-
cred of high Importance. 1t is to
straighten out these tangles and to es-
tablish a code of laws that will pre-
vent land grabbing that Mr.. Roth al
leges has been made, that the bills are
designed.
That the measures will bring a pow
erlu lobby down upon the capital Mr..
Roth admits, out he declares that ev-
cry open opponent to the bill is an enc
my determined and that is one of the
ends he has in view
In connection with his measures he
says:
''The occasion of the introduction
of these bills was the various discus
sions had in the committee of state,
school and granted lands coming out
of the number of public land bills
pending before the committee.
During these discussions it was
shown that the lands not protected by
the legislatie provision of no sale un-
der $40 an acre in many instances had
sold for mere song. some of the CAPT
tai land selling for so cents an acre,
and one tract of several sections of
capital land selling for - per acre,
upon which, it was claimed, there was
from thirty five to forty five millions
of standing timber to the section.

THREE REFORM PLANS.
Said Gar Is Considering Them and
will Adopt One.

London, Feb 2O.-The St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Chronicle is
informed by one high in court circles
that the czar is considering three
schemes for the popular assembly such
as has been demanded by the strike rs.
The first of these is that of Count Leo
Tolstoy, the second is that of Count
Ignatief, which is similar to the one
Alexander III. wished to introduce be-
fore his death, and third by an emf
nentn author whose name is kept Sc
cret, and which is the most compre-
hensive of them all 1t plans that all
classes, races and religions be repre-
senteud in the assembly. 1t is likely
says the correspondent informant,
that this last scheme will be the one
adopted. The informet further stated
that the czar would persoally put a
stop to the war in the far East at the
rfist Russian victory which was in any
way decisive.

OPPRESSION CHARGED.
Suit Against Dental Board for
Heavy DAMAGES.

Seattle, Feb. 2O.-A suit is to be
filed during the day in the superior
court, in which it will be claimed that
the state board of dental examiners and
the National Dental Association and
the Washington State Dental Associa-
ton have entered into an unlawful
conspiracy to prevent the intent of the
law, and to use it to advance unlawful
ends.
DR.. +. j. Brown claims $25, 900
damages from four members of the
state board of examiners, which in
1908 refused him a certificate allowing
him to practice dentistry in this state.
He alleges thst the examiners have
not executed the law fairly and i'm
partially; that they have arbitrarily
and wrongfully used the provisions of
the statutes solely to carry out illegal
ends, any to crush out the dentists in
this state who resort to advertising in
their business.
''No man who advertises his business
has been allowed cetifcate since the
meeting in 1903," said Mr.. Brown.
There were fifteen or sixteen dentists
who did not advertise practicing in
Seattle without license at tho time
was arrested for that offense, and only
one of them was arrested, and the case
against him was dismissed. Forty ar
rests have been made among the ad-
vertising dentists, and eight convic-
tions have been secured"
The complaint also states that DR..
Brown took the examination which the
state board prescribed, and that he
answered more questions correctly
than the majority Of those who were
not allowed certificate to practice.

TIGHTENING THE SCREWS.
Standard Will Have to Be Good OF
Get Out of Kansas.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 2O.--The Kan
sas huose, withoul dissenting vote,
has passed bill making oil pipe lines
common carriers. This is the second
of the series of bills directed against
the Standard Oil Company, and was
strongly opposed by the Standard Oil
interests. 1t has already passed the
senate and will be signed by the gov
ernor. without this bill, it is said,
the refinery plan could not have been
carried out successfully, owing to the
lack of pipe lines owned by the state.
Now, however, the state oil can be
piped through the Standard lines.
The anti discrimination bill. de-
signed to prevent the Standard from
underselling the state refinery, will be
made special order for Monday.
This bill makes it unlawful for any
commodity to be sold in any one town
of the state lower than in another, ex-
cept such differences as may be made
necessary through freight rates. Thus
the Standard will be prevented from
setting the price of oil to meet the state
price at any place in the state, unless
it reduces the price in the whole state.

TWO round trips week was the limit.
but through one entire summer and
fall young Hemenway and his brother
VIII loaded the wagon and hauled the
buffalo bones to market. They realized
in this way between SO and 10 week.
In 1880 Hemenway returned to
Boonvllle and went to work in a to-
bacco factory. Later he engaged in
the livery business at Rockport and
to augment his income became also a
sewing machine agent.
While selling sewing machines and
making other odd trades the opportuni-
ty was given to him of reading la "
and he entered the office of John l..
Taylor, a prominent Democratic law
yer, whose partner he subsequently
became. Here one day he was waited
upon by Republican politician and
asked to accept the nomina ton for dis
trlct prosecutor. There did not seem
to be any chance for his election, the
district being strongly Democratic. Mr..
Hemenway made an active canvass Of
the distrisct, and to the surprise Of
everyone was elected. In those days a
man could be chosen prosecutor before
being admitted to the bar, and it was
Hemenway's fortune to be one OF those
men. When the first case came up
there were several good lawyers op-
posed to him and the presiding judge
suggested that Hemenway secure as
sistance. He declined, wishing to re-
flute one Of the arguments made
against him during his canvass-that
he was not competent to fill the place.
He won his case and thereby greatly
enhanced his reputation.
In 1894 he entered Congress, to
which he has been elected ever since.
He at once took prominent place in
House affairs, becoming the head Of
the most important committee in the
government--the National Committee
on appropriations.
Mr. Hemenway Is married and has
an Interesting family Of three children
the eldest of whom, Miss Lena, Is a
beautiful girl of 1S. The other chill
dren are George, aged II, and Miss
Estelle, aged Z.

Boy Weavers OF Persia,

Boys from to ~ years old do a
great part of the carpet and rug weav.
ing in Persia. They are very deft.
Having been shown the design and col.
oring Of the carpet they are to work
the boys rely on their memories for
the rest Of the task. 1t is very seldom
that you will see on any of the looms
pattern set before the workers. The
foreman of a loom Is frequently boy
of from - to II. He walks up and
down behind the workers calling out
in sing-song manner the number of
stitches and the colors OF the threads
to he used. He seems to have the de-
sign imprinted in his mind. A copy
Of famous carpet now at the South
Kensington Museum Is being made.
The design and colorlng are UNIQUE,
but the boys who are working on the
copy are doing it without the design
before them and at the rate of from 80
to So stitches minute. Nothing but
hand work is employed in the manu-
facture of Persian carpets and rugs,
and none but natural or vegetable dyes
are used. This accounts for the SUI
perior quality Of the Persian products.
The secret of the beautiful dark blue
dyes used in the older days has been
