CHILE WOULD
PUT ON AIRS
This South American Republic
Thinks She Should Have
Al Ambassador
other Latin.Ameriesn Republics Were
Jealous and Succeeded in Heading
or Such a Movement by Their
Hated Rival.

Washington. Chile's failure to send
a minister to Washington to replace
Walker Martinez, who did not return
home after the Pan-American confer
ence at Rio Janiero last summer, has
caused much comment. The neglect
of the Chilean congress to appropriate
sufficient money to maintain the lega
ton has been given as reason for
leaving the American mission In
charge of Alberto Yoacham, secretary
of the legation. But 1t has just be-
come known that the real cause was
hidden deep in Latin American poll
tics.
Chile decided 1t would be a good
idea to have an ambassador In WASH
| ington and steps were taken TO ais
cover what the United States thought
of the proposed elevation of the Chill
can representative to Washington.
The suggestion that the Chilean en-.
voy might be raised to ambassadorial
rank set all Latin-America on edge
and a general movement was lnsti
| tuted by the southern republics to
head off such movement. Argentina,
being unfriendly to Chile, was espec'
tally opposed to the plan, as Brazil
and Chile are always rated as allies
and Argentina did not want her two
strongest rivals to outstrip her In
American representation.
1t has not been the policy of the
state department to send ambassadors
to any country which cannot be ranked
as a world power, and when the hos
tility of the rest of South America
to such change became known. the
United States decided that the ques
ton had better not be agitated further

THE PRESIDENT CONFERS

two and a half hours.
Alter the conference adjourned 1t
was stated that the meeting was
called to outline a scheme to be pre-
scented to the next congress for the
federal regulation of railroads. The
plan proposed by Jacob II. Schiff for
remedying the railroad situation,
which has attracted great deal CT
attention, was not taken up at the
conference. Mr. kellogg, who has
charge Of the Hartman investigation,
denied that this question was brought
up at the conference.

BOSS RUFF CARRIED ON
THEIR PRIVATE PAYROLL
Secretly Received Twelve Hundred
Per Month From the Pacific States
Telephone Company.

San Francisco.-Two sensational
pieces of evidence in the bribery-graft
investigation were adduced before the
grand jury Saturday. Three mem
bers of the executive board of the
Pacific States Telephone company, Il
s. Pillsbury, Homer s. King, and
Timothy Hopkins, testified that they
had no knowledge whatsoever of the
alleged bribing of supervisors to vote
against the award of competitive
franchise to the Home Telephone com
pany, and that If bribery was com
mtted it was up to" Wee President
Louis Glass, whom the grand jury al.
ready has indicted on nine counts to
explain. Another member of the ex.
exutive board, Percy s. Morgan, made
the same denial of knowledge sever
al days ago when on the witness
stand.
The second sensation came when
L. S. Pillsbury. who Is director OF
and attorney for the Pacific States Tel
phone company, testified that Abra-
ham Ruef the indicted political boss,
has been for more than two years
on the private payroll of that corpor-
alton and has been paid regularly
81 200 a month. This, said Pillsbury,
was more than the salary paid to
himself. Whe undiscovered this,
he testified, he objected to the COM
pany, and his own remuneration was
increased

LEGALITY Is QUESTIONED.
Forest Service Asks Attorney Gen.
eraI for an Opinion.

Washington.-The forest service has
submitted to the attorney general the
question of the legality of the prac.
tice of so charging commercial com.
panies for the right of conducting
water through the reserves for the
development of power and other pur
poses as to cause them to contribute
to the expense of maintaining the re-
serve. The service has heretofore eX
acted payment for pipelines taking
water from the streams In the re.
serves, but the right to do so has
been question, and It is now the pur.
pose to secure the attorney generals
view on the point. The forestry ad'
ministration takes the position that
the companies should pay something
for the service they receive, through
the conservation OF the waters of the
streams on which they rely, and they
find their only opportunity In the
charge of right of way. Practically
all the water used by them is con.
veyed through pipelines for the pro
duction of electricity and the demand
Is constantly increasing.

Cotton, Cal.-One of the most disas-
trous wrecks In the history of the

into an open switch while going at
the rate of forty miles an hour, and

smashed to fragments. Most of the
dead were Italians from New York
and New Orleans going to San Fran
cisco. They occupied the smoker and
day coach.
The derailment of the train was
caused by the crew of a switch en-
CINE leaving switch open at this
point.
