Contest Hearing.
Special Dispatch to The Call

NEW YORK, April 4.-During the trial
of an action brought by James R. Palmer
of San Francisco, aged ninety-sx years,
to upset the probate of the will of his
brother, Francis Asbury Palmer, for
fifty-two years president of the National
Broadway Bank, which is before Judge
Geigerich and jury In the Supreme
Court. it was disclosed that the aged
financier. who died leaving a fortune OF
more than a million dollars. in his youth
drove one of the first stages In New
York
Mrs Ida H. Manson, grandniece, told
of his inf1rmaties, loss of money and said
that although he left his money literally
to colleges and other institutions of learn
ing, she testified he often told her he did
not believe in colleges. On this subject
it was his habit to remind her of what
st. Paul was told, that much learning
hath made him mad"
Mrs Manson said one of Palmer's hob
bies was a free faith founded son the
bible without sectarianism. and he be-
lieved in children and even grown-up peo-
pie going to Sunday school.
James Morrow. who had known the
financier forty-five years, in answer to
Flamen B. Gambler of counsel for the
contestants. stated that whenever he
visited Palmer at his home ministers were
constantly there talking about colleges
and religion. When he spoke to the aged
man about the ministers calls he would
say: They are all right, but they want
money! He often accompanied Palmer
to the Broadway Tabernacle, where Pal
mer, after the singing and the collection.

OF the pew and go to sleep. and after
leaving the church would say James. We

WOULD AMEND
THE RATE BILL
Newlands of Nevada Is in
Favor of the National In
corporation of Railroads

WASHINGTON, April Ain the Senate
today Newlands discussed the railroad
rate bill and Daniel the question of the
lack of representation by the Southern
States in the public service. Newlands
advocated amendments to the rate bill
providing for the ma tional Incorporation
of railroads and announced himself as
favorable to the governmental ownership
of those utilities DaniePs speech was
based on provision in the urgent def
cheney appropriation bill for the repre-
sentation of the United States at the
next Pan-American congress, to be held
in Rio Janeiro in July. The deficiency
bill was amended so as to provide for
more delegates, and; as amended, was
passed.
Newlands contended that the rate bill
should fix a maximum percentage of
profit to be allowed to the roads, and to
that end he would have the valuation Of
all railroad property carefully ascer-
talned. In addition, he would have q
national Incorporation act which would
be the most effective safeguard against
overcapitalization. All these regulations
would work automatically in the direc-
ton of a reduction of rates.
Newlands argued that the great ma
jority of invstors preferred steady in
come of from to per cent 10 specu-
lative enterprise, and drew the conclusion
that the determination of profit would
not have the effect of restricting rail-
road extension. This plan also would
have the effect of taking the railroads
out of politics. a most desirable desidera-
tum, in Newlands opinion
From national capitalization to ma
tional ownership was only a short step,
said the Nevada Senator, and he an
nounced he was in no respect averse to
that policy. He could see no financial
obstacle in the way of the acquisition of
existing roads, but If there should be
opposition to this course he would have
the Government enter upon the construc-
ton. of a railway system of its own, and
he suggested an experimental line from
Norfolk or Charleston to Los Angeles or
San Diego. Such a line, 5000 miles in
length could be built. he declared, for
$100, 900 900, cost not exceeding an aver
age of 900 per mile, as against the
average capitalization of $65,OO0, which
prevailed on existing lines.

WOULD DIMINISH
BEAUTY OF FALLS
Protest Is Filed Against Rec.
ommendation for Diver
sion of Niagara Water.

WASHINGTON, April "A remon.
STRANGE against the recommendations of
the International Waterways Commission
regarding the diversion of the water of
the Niagara River at the Falls of Niagara
was fled with President Roosevelt to-
day by officers of the American Civic As
ISOLATION and the Merchants Association
of New York. The commission recommend
ed that legislation be enacted authorizing
the diversion of 5000 cubic feet of water
per second. The remonstrance urges that
the diversion Of that amount of water
would divert As per cent of the water go
ing over the American Falls and would
materially diminish the beauty of the
cataract.
Although the President had approved
the recommendation of the commission in
a message to Congress, he regarded the
remonstrance as important and promised
his callers to refer the subject to Secre-
tary Taft and to members of the commits
sion.

PORTLAND. Or. April 4-"On to AS

knights of the green cloth. Gambling
men from Portland and Seattle are pre-
pairing to make the county seat of Clat-
sop their Mecca. Since the embargo was
removed on gambling at Astoria and the
merry clatter of the roulette ball and
the monotonous drone of the crap dealer
are again heard there the ranks of those
scattered by Sheriff Word are being
drawn up in order preparatory to an in
vasion.
Peter st. Mary arrived In Portland
yesterday from San Francisco in response
to a telegram conveying the glad news
that Astoria is an open town. Here he
was met by Al Seafeld. and arrangements
were made to open a big gambling house.
This morning all the gambling parapher-

TO BE CONSIDERED
AT RIO DE JANEIR0
Programme of Subjects for
Coming Pan American
Conference Approved.

WASHINGTON. April 4.-The pro-
gramme of subjects to be considered by
the Pan-American Conference which
meets at Rio Janeiro in July was unan-
imously approved by the Bureau OF
American Republics to-day. This pro-
gramme was prepared by committee of
which Secretary Root is chairman. and
includes the ambassadors from Brazil
and Mexico and the Ministers from Costa
Rica. Chile, Cuba and Argentina
Probably the most interesting of the
subjects are embraced in resolutions af-
firming the adherence of the American
republics TO the principle of arbitration
for the settlement of disputes arising
between them, with an expression of
hope that the coming Hague conference
will agree upon a general arbitration
convention; also a recommendation that
The Hague conference be asked to con-
slider the extent to which the use of
force for the collection Of public debts is
admissible.
Incidental to this will be the discussion
of the so-called Drago doctrine, which is
opposed TO the forcible collection of debts
of one nation by another, a doctrine long
adhered to by the United States. Other
matters on the programme are those of a
reorganization of the international Bureau
of American Republics, the codification Of
public and private international laws,
naturalization, development of commercial
intercourse, customs and consular laws,
patents and trade marks. sanitary police
and quarantine regulations, the Pan
American Railway. practice of the learned
professions and future conferences.
Secretary Root has decided to ac-
cept the invitations given him by the
resident diplomatic representatives of
South American countries to extend his
projected trip to Rio Janeiro, so as to
circumnavigate South America and to
visit Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, San
tiago de Chile and Lima. The Secre-
tary would like to include the capitals
of Colombia and Ecuador in his tour
but press of time and the difficulty of
reaching Bogota and La Paz from the
seaports will prevent him doing so.

LEAVES STEVENS POINT.

Mrs. Mary Bradford, superintendent
of practice teaching at the Stevens Point
Normal school, has presented her resig.
nation to the state board of regents.
She gives as her reason that she has re-
ceived better offer from L. d. Harvey,
principal of the Stout Training school
at Menomonie. 1t is the general i'm
preston, however, that the request for
the resignation of President Pray has
some influence on her action. Mrs.
Bradford is one of the best known
women educators in the state. She
went to the Stevens Point school in 1894
from Kenosha She was the second
most popular candidate for president
of the State Teachers association when
it met last winter.
