not penitentary sentence. S. r. Rush,
special district attorney, stated to the
rcourt that Welsh had unhesitatingly sub
mitted to arrest and had been of great ser
vice to the government in the trial of the
Ware case. He asked the maximum SEN

Harry Welsh OF Davenport, Neb., in
dicted with Rev. George G. Ware and
Frank W. Lambert for conspiracy in pro-
curing fraudulent land filing on govern
ment lands within the L. b. /. Land and
Cattle company's enclosure and who
pleaded guilty to the indictment, was SEN

AS Welsh pleaded guilty to the two in
dictments. the fine OF $50 also will apply
TO the second Indictment but the term OF

tations to speak Other addresses by men
of national reputation from the army and

President Wilson's address the subject of

nifcant speeches on the subject that VIII
be made anywhere in the land on that day.
Speaker Cannon will speak informally.

The banquet committee have made their

nature. Anticipation as to the nature or
the songs and special stunts is running
high and the scramble for the limited num-
Der of tickets is becoming exciting.

INSPECTIONS BEGIN.
River Excursion Steamers Undergoing
Annual Investigation.

All the fleet OF steamers which next
summer Will carry excursionists from this
city TO various resorts on the river are
now being made ready TO undergo their
annual inspection at the hands of the
steamboat inspectors within the next few
weeks, In order TO be ready for service
as soon as the weather win allow the run
ming of trips on the river. The excursion
season opens on the Potomac in the latter
part OF April. but II will be the latter part
of May before the daily trips TO the re-
sorts begin. The Inspection of the excur.
sion steamers is particularly severe, the In
spectors requiring them 30 comply with
the laws governing steamboats, to the fuii>
est extent. and anything wanted aboard
the steamers to complete their equipment;
must be aboard and ready for service be-
fore they are allowed to leave the dock
with excursionists aboard.
The inspectors pay particular attention
to the lie preservers, the life boats and
the fire-fighting apparatus, and when the
inspectors pass a steamer she is as SAFE
as 1t is possible for a steamboat TO be.
The steamer Macalester passed her in
spection about two weeks ago. the River
Queen Will be inspected this week. and the
other excursion steamers will have the In
spectors aboard them some time in tho
coming month.

Exclusion Law Modified Before the
Boycott.

To the Editor OF The Star:
There IS an unpublished chapter that
ought TO be known both in America and
China IN connection with the recent modifi-
cation in the administration Of Chinese eX-
eiusiou law. The Chinese think that all
that has been done in this matter is due to
the fact that they have struck America $
'pocketbOok nerve and, no doubt many
Americans regrettWly accept that view OF
the case. but the writer happens TO know
that these changes In the administration
OF the law I'm the interest of "a better treat

had been determined upon by President
Roosevelt before the boycott was begun

with reference to this matter, In the hope
that modified administration OF the law

suggestions of Mr.. Gulick very cordially
and sent him with Il note of introduction 10
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
where again the matter was received with
favor and the changes since accomplished
were partially agreed upon.
II is unfortunate for our national reputa-
ton that before these changes were con-
summated the boycott had broken out in
earnest and the contamination of these pre-
vfously considered plans seemed 10 be e

which has quite probably encouraged the

Southwest Washington Improvements

One of the biggest real estate deals that
has taken place in the southwest section
of Washington for a number of years was
that contaminated through the office of
Floyd T.. Davis, when the north half or
square 40, l street between 9Th and 7th
streets southwest, was purchased from the
Daingerfield estate of Alexandria. This
piece of ground contains between fifty and
sixty thousand square feet and has been
substantially improved by the erection OF
thirty-siX houses, of which thirteen have
been sold and are now occupied Nineteen
of these houses are press brick baywin-
dow dwellings, of six rooms each and re-
ceptton hall, with tiled bath and vesti-
bules, cabinet mantels and the latest mod
ern plumbing. a cellar runs the whole
depth Of the house, and there is furnace
heat. The other seventeen have press
brick fronts, contain six rooms, with Ia
trobe heat and very modern and conven-
iently arranged interiors.
This transaction involves about $4,000.

LECTURES TO FARMERS.
Scientists Going Through Virginia on
Special Train.

Special Train.
Leaving Richmond this morning at
o'clock a special train on the Southern
railway will carry officials of the state de-
partment of agriculture and a number OF
expert agriculturists and scientists, VINO
will deliver thirty-minute lectures to farm
ers who will meet the train by appoint
ment at various stations along the line.
The subjects to be discussed are the
growing of alfalfa-to which large sections
of Virginia are well adapted-and the grow
ing of corn and tobacco. Agriculture Is
said to be making wonderful strides In Vir-
ginia and much of the success which has
been witnessed during the past few years
is said to be due to the untiagging zeal OF
the commissioner and his assistants and to
the cooperation of the national Department
of Agriculture and the railroads. num-
her of tests have been carried on in alfalfa
growing with the result that it has been
demonstrated that this perennial clover, so
important IN the promotion of Virginia
growing live stock interest, will grow as
luXuriantIy. produce as largely and be as
tenacious in its hold in Virginia as in any
part of the country.
The train will traverse an important part
of the bright leaf tobacco beta section
which produces a large part of a special
type of tobacco which is known the world
over. In this section interesting lectures,
designed to instruct the farmer how to
increase his yield and conserve the fertil-
ity of his soil, will be delivered by men
eminent in that line of work. The train will
also go oyer the Danville and Western
railway, an auxiliary line of the Southern,
penetrating a famous fruit section. After
covering the Southerns lines In Virginia
the train will be turned over to the Norfolk
and Western, which will handle it over It's
lines.
