politely.
Miss Willard raised her voice.

Jessie Willard laughed merrily.
"You see, it's this way" she explained.

EARTH TREMBLES
IN PORTSMOUTH

Portsmouth, Aug. 31-A series OF
earthquake shocks. the most severe
ever experienced in this section. were
felt here yesterday afternoon. Build
ings trembled perceptibly. dishes were
shaken from shelves. and in many
cases people rushed in terror from
their house into the streets. There
were three distinct shocks and in each
instance the tremor was accompanied
by a sound like a distant explosion
The shocks were felt along the entire
New Hampshire coast line. In the
business section of the city shoppers
and employees of the stores rushed out
into the streets, believing the build
ings were about to collapse. Each OF
the shocks continued for several Sec
onds.

RELATIVES PROBING
MRS. WALSH'S DEATH
MISS WARD OF APPLETON AND
JAMES WALSH TO BE ASKED
TO TELL OF SHOOTING.

Crandon, Wis, Aug. 31-James
Walsh is back from Eagle River and
some relatives Of Mrs. Walsh have ar
rived here. Her mother aunt, and
brother, Reuben Slattery, are here to
have the shooting probed to the bot
tom. G. If. Sanborn of Ashland, who
married Mrs. Walsh's sister, is be-
leved to be back of the effort to get
at the facts.
Miss Ward of Appleton, who is said
to nave been in the room at the time
of the shooting, is not here now, but
is expected Legal assistance from
Madison will reach here today. The
inquest will not he reopened until to-
morrow morning
1t is said that when Mr.. Walsh and
Miss Ward first appeared before the
inquest the jury believed they we're
suppressing the truth and further in
vestigation was ordered for that rea-
son.
A locked door which Mrs Walsh
tried to break down upon her sudden
return home the night of the shooting

Special Solicitors investigation Finds
no Discrimination.

Washington, Aug. 31-No discrim-
ination in the work of the meat in
spection service and the exoneration
of DR.. d. E. Solomon, chief of the
bureau of animal industry in the de-
partment of agriculture, of charges
growing out Of business connections
here, are the findings announced yes
terday by Solicitor McCabe of that
department, as the result of his in
vestigation OF the charges against
that branch of the department. Nc
Cabe's work has been approved by
Secretary Wilson. McCabe cites the
number of applications for inspection
received and the number granted
during the past five years, and finds
that in a majority of the cases re-
fusal to grant inspection has been
based on the fact that the appropria-
ton was entirely inadequate to cover
all meat in interstate trade.

AGREE TO MAKE TEST ON THE
NORTHWESTERN CASE.
MEANS ONLY ONE TRIAL
Other Companies Will Doubtless Abide
by Decision of the First Issue
Judge Hastings to Preside in cad
Valorem" igaton-"Back Tax"
Arguments Completed.

The state and the railroad attorneys
yesterday reached an agreement which
is contemplated to expedite the judi
clal test OF the Wisconsin ad valoTem
law enacted by the legislature of 1903.
A stipulation was entered into accord
ing to which both sides agree to try
the case brought by the Northwestern
road, and to have Judge Hastings of
Green Bay sit on the trial
Attorney General Sturlevant in
formed Judge Stevens in open court
that the Northwestern case was
doubtless the only one Of the al
valorem' cases that would be brought
to trial. 1t is intended to get this
case through the courts as quickly as
practicable, and ii the state main
tainS its position and the ad valorem
law is held to be constitutional the
railroads will all doubtless abide by
tne statute, instead of each corpora
ton insisting on a separate trial, for
the same question of law, essentially
is involved in all the several cases
The railroads attack the law as I'M
constitutional fer the reason that it
lays taxes, they claim with lack of
uniformity, contrary to the rule of tax
aticn laid down by the constitution.
One line Of the argument advanced
by the roads is that the law takes the
total valuation of all the general prop
O1stTr 1Nff 10
age rate and applies it to the proper
ty of the roads This rate, they say,
is not constitutional because it is
reached by including property in
counties that are not touched by the
railroad systems.
1t is desired by tne interested at
torneys to nave the trial of the test
held i'll about two weeks, or as soon
after that time as it is possible to Sc
cure the attendance of Judge Hast
ings
The date Of the commencement of
the trial is September II, contingent,
however, upon the arrangements that
Judge Hastings is able to make.
Arguments were concluded yester-
day before Judge Stevens on the mo-
ton of the railroads in the black
tax suits, in which motion the de-
PENDANT corporations demand that the
state amend and enlarge it's complain
ing Sc as to specify the exact amount
OF money alleged to be due from the
companies, and to make a separate
complaint as to each alleged false
and fraudulent" or inaccurate report
filed by each company during the
years of the old license fee system of
railroad taxation in Wisconsin. Judge
Stevens announced no decision, but
took the motion under advisement.

Portsmouth, Aug. 31-The Associ-
ated Press is able to give additional
and interesting, as we'll as important
details in regard to- the conditions of
peace. The most important of all is
the fact that formal recognition Of
the Japanese possession Of the Chi
nese Eastern railroad below Kuen-
chengtse, involves the payment by
Russia to China of about $75,000,000.
This is the Chinese interest in the
road and for it China must be remu-
nerated The question Of the ulti-
mate possession of the road is mat
ter to be settled between Jal I'll and
China. Japan can keep the road or
surrender it to China, demanding in
return the money paid by Russia to
China. If she elects the latter course,
Japan will, therefore, obtain as indi-
rect "Spoils of war; from Russia the
above mentioned sum in addition to
the reimbursement for the cost of
maintaining the Russian prisoners of
war. Another important provision is
that Japan's succession to the Port
Arthur and Liaotung leases which
Russia surrenders is conditional upon
China's assent.
The armistice was not arranged
yesterday and it is not improbable
that it will be concluded directly by
the generals on the field of battle.
Working on Treaty.
The actual work of drafting a
treaty Of Portsmouth" began yester-
day 1t is being done by Mr.. Demar-

advisors for the respective sides.
While the "bases" of peace have been
accepted by the plenipotentiaries con-
sidrahle detail remains to be worked
out in elaboration of the articles of
the treaty. This is especially true in
regard to the articles of the treaty.
This is especially true in regard to
the articles dealing with the Chinese
Western railway and the surrender g
the leases Of Ldatung peninsula ana
Port Altnur and Dalny.
Messrs. Dennison and Demartens

ART AN EYES0RE
Chicaso's Chief of Police Is For
 Draperies.

Chicago. Nov 4.-In the opinion of Chief of Police Collins, art in un. blushing nakedness is an eyesore. The classic lines of the statues on exhibi- ton at the art institute and at the Field Columbian museum need some thing more than sandals and fig leaves to screen them from the public gaze, which is susceptible to contamination. Chief Collins is for draperies on sculp- ture not already provided with habili- ments by the artists-all this in the interest of the public morals.
 Every nude statue in public view should be draped." said the chief, especially the statue of woman. This is true of the big exhibitions, in- cluding the art institute. If there are any statues there. It does not matter how artistic the poses nor how grace full the lines. drape 'em all. The Venus de Milo's draped, and she's all right That kind won't harm anybody. But these others are too immodest."
