In order to remodel the White House
and grounds, maintain it through the
year, and allow travelling expenses to
the President and his invited guests.
Congress is this year asked TO apprO-
pirate $4,000, almost twice as much as
last year.
With the exception of the year 1903,
when the White House was rcmodeled,
this is the largest appropriation re
Quested for the Executive Mansion IN
its history The item of $4,000 for trav-
cling expenses for the President and his
friends is without precedent and is be-
lieved TO he the outcome of the agitation
attending railroad rate legislation dur

had on the question of free passes. II

a means Of relieving the President from

White House Needs Attention.
It has not been so long since the
White House was remodeled throughout
but. according TO Colonel BromwelI
superintendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds, the Presidents home is sadly
in need of attention. Draperies in cae
various reception rooms have been worn
and made dingy by the public recep-
tions throughout the past seasons and
Colonel BrOmwell IS sure that new ones
are needed. The ceilings in these rooms
he saws. need regiiding and coat or so

rooms he has mentioned the sums he
thinks necessary TO put things 10 rights

that the ceiling is very much soiled is

According to Colonel Bromwens esti-
mate. 5000 Will be required to put the
East Room in shape. Three thousand
six hundred of this Will be needed to
wash the ceiling and paint it with
three coats of oil paint. The remaining
$500 is asked for in order to replace

COAL LINE PROBE
IS ONLY STARTED
Real Work of Commission
Yet to Be Done.
MAY GIVE "PENNSY" A REST
Other and Equally Big Game Ahead
for Interstate Commerce
Inquisitors.
MAY GIVE "PENNSY" A REST

Instead Of being near completion the
inyestiga tion OF relations between rail-
read and coal producing concerns BY the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
only begun.
The commission has only scratched
the surface in its Investigations TO date.
according TO the statements OF members
today we could go on all summer
with the Pennsylvania road alone. ap-
parently," said one OF the commission
ers. getting more of the same sort Of
Information we have been securing thus
far. Whether we will proceed with the
same investigation Will be determined
at a conference of the commission and
counsel today. SO far as the general
character of these relations is concerned
we have pretty well cleaned up the mat
ters involving the Pennsylvania. Chesa-
peake and Ohio. and Norfolk and West
ern."
Big Task Still Ahead.
The commissions task under the TIL
man-Gillespie resolution is still an i'm
mense one. 1T is so great" said
commissioner. that IL is plainly impos-
sible for US TO finish IL up in detail-to
determine just what coal stocks every
minor or major official Of a railroad cots-
pany holds and how he got il. and how
many acres OF coal lands a railroad
owns. We assume that substantial COM
pliance with the instructions OF Cor gress
will have been effected II we are able
TO present a well REINFORCED general
statement OF facts"
Letters and complaints have been
pouring In on the commission from all
parts Of the country, giving Information
as to co3ditions that demand the atten-
ton Of the commission under this resOlu-
ton. The Eastern bituminous field VIII
be finished up first Thus the New York
CentraFs relations 20 coal fields and
mines have not been opened up. That
system has an important coal line. the
Beach Creek branch, that enters the
Pennsylvania bituminous field. The
commission knows that the road owns
some coal helds, and has complaints in
dicating conditions somewhat similar 10
those OF the Pennsylvania system. This
wiil be taken up early and investigated.
Then there Is the field Of the central
West. Including most Of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois. Iowa. and missouri
The Indian Territory Field.
The Indian Territory field viii be
taken up as soon as possible. and it
is expected that the revelations from
this inquiry Will be among the most
startling, because they will enhghten
the charges which have been made in
Congress this session that the Rock Is
land and related roads have a practical
monopoly Of that field. and that they
have not only been suppressing cOmpe-
tition, but planning TO secure from Con-
gress. in the division Of the properties
Of the Indian tribes. a practical gift OF
this immensely valuable coal field
Commissioners Knapp. Clements, and
Cockren attended the conference OF the
commission and counsel today. Com
missioner Prouty had left for Vermont
and will be notified Of the determination
of the conference by wire.

Suit for Valuable Plantation.

Aa interesting and highly important
suit, involving the ti,ll tod '7"Ge and
valuable sul-don In nCoshoma county,
has been flied by The heirs OF the late
Henry Bilipgs,1 Jr Young Billings
ly inherited large tract of iano from
his father, but died during his minority
without ever having been married,
leaving neither brother, sister, father,
mother nor descendants of them. He
was survived by his maternal grand
mother and by one paternal uncle, and
the suit is brought by this uncle for a
one-half interest of the entire estate.
The statute of descent and distribution
in Mississippi provides in a ease like
this that the estate shall pass to the
next Of kin, computed according to the
rules of the civil law and representa-
tion among cOllaterals, except that the
descendants Of brothers and sisters are
prohibited, The theory of the COM
plainant is that the land involved de-
scended to the grandparents as the
next of kin, and that the children Of
the deceased grandparents took the
share of those grandparents by virtue OF
the rule OF representation.
