SAYS RAILROAD
NOT TO BLAME
President Elliot Claims
Fuel Supply Is In
adequate

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-In re-
sponse to an inquiry addressed to the
roads by the Interstate commerce
commission as to the cause Of the re-
ported shortage of cars for the trans
portation of fuel by reason Of which
great suffering is entailed, President
Elliott of the Northern Pacific railroad
telegfaphs to the commission from
ST. Paul in effect that the company
has done all,and will continue to do
all it can do to prevent suffering. He
says his company warned fuel deal
ers in June and July that the fuel
supply was likely to be inadequate,
advising them to provide stock and to
seek new sources of supply.
President Elliott says, the charges
sf extraordinary delays in transporta-
tion do not apply to his company. He
says the difficulty in Washington. Ida
no and Montana is that not enough
coal is being produced to supply
promptly the increased domestic trade
and at the same time furnish the rail-
roads with sufficient fuel to operate
their trains. The foods in the Cas-
cades in November damaged the North
ern Pacific tracks and a number OF
important mines could not be reached
for weeks. Heavily increased traf-
fc in all commodities has also tended
to increase the difnculties Of the situ-
alton. E1 ~ II

court. from an action of the district
court in Nez Perce county in the act
ion Of J. M. Pratt plaintiff and re-
spondent, against the Northern Pacific
Express company, defendant and ap-
pellant This action was originally
brought by Pratt against the express
company for $500, alleged to have been
deposited in a sack with the company
agent at Culdesac for shipment to J.
w. Pratt at Lewiston, November %,
1904. The evidence showed that the
money was probably a portion of that
taken in the robbery of the office at
Culdesac on the night of November
20, 1904, and never reached it's destina-
ton. The principal defense was the
fact that there was a provision in the
receipt for the money that the COM
pany should not be responsible for
more than $50 IL the package was lost
On the 10th day Of April last jury
gave the plaintiff verdict for s7232s
and the court gave Judgment accord
ingly. From this Judgment the de-
fendant company is appealing.
The attorneys representing the par
ties are I. N Smith and John Green
for the plaintiffs and respondents, and
James E. Babb and E. j. Cannon for
the defendant and appellants.

Favors Tuberculous Marriage.

The marriage of the tuberculous is per-
haps frowned upon by all physicians, the
majority of whom would no doubt advo-
cate the prohibition Of such unions. 1t is
considerable Of q surprise, then, to learn
that DR.. Charles Valentino of Paris has
declared that these marriages are de-
sirable. He bases his opinion upon the
well-known fact that the disease itself is
rarely if ever transmitted and that there
is an immunity possessed by many. of the
offspring of the tuberculous. He shows
that though this infection is more fire.
quent about the age of 20, it's appearance
in those Of tuberculous parentage, if they
acquire it at all, is somewhere between
35 and so. He acknowledges that where
one partner alone is infected the other is
contaminated in 16 per cent. of the cases.!
and that this infant mortality is quiteI
high, particularly where both parents are,
tuberculous, but he thinks that these dis
advantages are far. outweighted by the
advantage of breeding up a race of I'M

should the preachers sermon be? There's
can be not set rule. of course, since the
man and the subject much necessarily,
play important parts in determining the
length of the discourse A learned and
eloquent man with a good subject may
talk entertainingly for an hour or morei
but on the average, which is the more
effective, the short sermon or the long
one? Mr.. Gladstone used to counsel
young curates to limit their discourses
to twenty minutes. Bishop Potter re-.
peats the advice. Coming from two such
authorities it must be good. A great!

KAISER NOT TO FIGHT.
Moroccan Situation Bristling but
Danger Is Not Imminent.
GERMANY NOT READY,
Count Witte of Russia Scouts Rumors of
War in Western Europe-Wil
liam's Policy Pacific.

BERLIN, Jan. S:-Although they adj
nit that the situation bristles with seri-
Gus possibilities, the most intelligent Ger
man observers scout the idea that there
is any likelihood of war with France as
a result of the forthcoming Moroccan
conference. This is believed to be the
opinion of the imperial government also.
No Sensation Is Sprung.
The foreign Office pamphlet on Moroc-
co, consisting of forty-two pages with
extracts from twenty-seven documents,
appeared today and furnished good read
ing. However, it contains but few in
teresting features.
The Sultan of Morocco December 81
received in audience Herr Vassel,, the
German consul at Fee, and talked over
the situation.
Il am willing" said the Sultan, "to
treat three or four powers equally with
Germany and Great Britain on account
of their trade. and France and Spain
because they are nelghbOrs.
Sultan Was Pleased
The Sultan inquired whether the
French minister could claim a general
mandate or not and the consul replied
that Germany had not granted such a
mandate.
The Sultan said he was pleased to
receive this information. Herr Vassel IN
a dispatch dated April p on the Sui
tans state of mind after the speech OF
NJ. Delcasse, the former foreign minister
of France, in the French Senate, March
81, said Nulai Abde-El-Iziz was excited
by NJ. Delcasse's declaration that the
Moroccan government has asked
Frances advice and would follow it.
Germany's military preparations,
which have always been in a highly de-
veloped state, will be made even more
complete as the Algecras meeting ap-
proaches, but "only for the sake of I'M
expected eventualities and not at all for
purposes of blufing."
Armament Is Lacking
One thing that makes immediate war
undesirable for Germany is the fact that
the rifles of the Kaser's entire army
are undergoing repair, incident to the
introduction of the new highvelocity
cartridge. Neither is the artillery equip
ment complete. While these matters are
Of high Importance, at the same time
Germans consider that the leadership of
their armies is so superior to that of
France as to offset any inferiorities OF
armament.
Won Moltke Is Doubted
Germany remains determined to
emerge from the conference with hon
or" but it is likely to do so, not by
threats Of invasion, but by formulating
it's demands in such shape that France
will find it possible to accede to them.
Critics continue to charge that Lieut..
Gen. Count Won Moltke, who recently
was appointed chief of staff by the
Kaiser is utterly incapable of filing that
highly responsible post.
Witte SCOTS at War Idea.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. S-Count
Witte declares he does not believe the
reports that Germany would resort to
an aggressive policy in the Moroccan
conference. Throughout Emperor Will
liam's remarkable reign, he said, Ger
manys policy had been consistently pa
cifc He believed it would remain So
and that the conference would terminate
without any untoward incident.

TO PROBE EXPULSION
FROM WHITE HOUSE.
Texan Representative Declares Mother
Is Superior to President and Recent
Case Is an Outrage.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. S-Rep-
resentative Sheppard of Texas today I'M
troduced a resolution providing for the
appointment of a committee of Repub-
ican and Democratic members of the
House to investigate the recent violent
expulsion of an American mother from
the white house offices and grounds by
executive officials and employees while
she was seeking an audience with the
President of the United States"
The resolution was referred to the
committee on rules.
Mr.. Sheppard made the following
statement: THE brutal treatment of this
lady who was but acting within her
right seems to me to be outrageous and
indefensibe
when the President of the United
States with all the glamor of his great
office steps into the presence of an Amer
lean mother he is in the presence of his
superior. This action of his subordi-
mates should certainly be investigated.
