From the Baltimore sun.
In the death yesterday in Washington OF
Mr. s. II. Kauffmann, president OF The
Evening Star Newspaper Company, Ameri-
can Journalism loses one or its most distin-
suished exponents and art one of its most
judicious patrons. Born in Ohio In 1929 on
q farm Mr.. Kaufman had a varied and
successful career, seeing much Of the world
and taking important and prominent
part In affairs at the national capital In
the fftes he became an editor and pub
Usher and his connection with the press
continued to the end of his life. In 1867
he became part owner OF The Washington
Evening Star In association with the late
national reputation and for nearly twenty
years was president of The Evening star
Newspaper Company, In connection with
which he exhibited the broad intelligence.
wise conservatism and liberalfty which dig
nify the management of great journal
His support of Gov Shepherds pans for
peautifying Washington Is to be credited
with much of the success of the enterprise
of making that city worthy Of its place In
the national economy. Apart from journal
Ism and public affairs, Mr.. kaunmann had
many interests. Interested in science, he
was a factor in the establishment OF the
National Museum. now one or the capital G
chief attractions His concern In art was
hearty and sustained For many years he
was president of the Corcoran Gallery OF
Art and himself possessed one OF the finest
private art collections In washington His
library also was rich in choice editions,
illustrating his large interest in literature
and the humanities. The death OF such O.
man is lameated as the loss of an inyaiu-
able factor in the business, scientific,
tistic and social life of the national capital.

AN AMERICAN LINE NEEDED
Ocean Traffic Conditions In the
Orient

eteahlship discrimination against Ameri-
can shlpplng is reported to the bureau Of
manufactures from Singapore by Consul
General Wilber, who advises that a COM
blnation has been effected between the
Barber line. East Asatic and some OF the
Standard OIL steamers, all of which are
under the English flag, and the Hamburg
American line. The freight rates between
South Asia and America have been greatly
advanced. This is a move on the part of
the European shipping conference to aid
English and German dealers in East In
dian products to REGAIN control of the
business, which they have been gradually
losing. The consul believes that what is
needed throughout the orient is an Ameri-
can line of steamers under the American
flag running from New York through the
Suez canal entirely independent of any
combination. .-4.-..

Local Governor Generals Ordered Not

DURNOvO'S SCHEME LAID BARE

ST. PETERSBURG, March 17-There is
already evidence that only a check and not
a defeat has been administered to the reac-
tionists who are conducting the anti-Semitic
agitation. Premier Witte, after he had
forced a decision of the cabinet to sup
press the agitation, knowing the audacity
of his opponents, took the precaution pri-
vately to ask the Jewish leaders to notify
him instantly whenever the Jewish inhab-
itants of any locality were threatened in
order to place him in position to insist
that measures be taken to protect them.
The Jewish leaders, however, now charge
that the reactionary clique, with the con-
ntvance of sympathetic local governor gen.
erals, are boldly arranging to block such
warnings.
The leaders claim to have proof that or
ders have been given at several places spe-
officially citing Vitebsk, west Russia, not to
transmit messages TO the premier warning
him of the imminence of trouble. 1t Is
further charged but proof is lacking that
