TRANSFER IS MADE
Ashland People are Now sure
of New Coal Dock for
Their City.

The Keystone mill and dock
properties changed hands last
night. 1t is now the property of
the North western Cooperative
Coal and Dock Company. The
money was paid over, and the
deed signed last night. it in
cludes a tract Of land four blocks
wide between Sixth and Tenth
avenues west. and from Front
street to the government dock
line, some distance beyond the
docks.
Judge Cochran and Harry
Warner are removing their pro-
perty from the Office so long be-
longing to the keystone lumber
company, and inside of two or
three days, the offices of the
Northwestern Cooperative Coal
and Dockcompany will be moved
in.
The transfer now having actu-
ally been made, articles of incor
poration filed, the money paid
over, and possession surrender
ed to the new company, the next
move will be to begin dismant
ling the Keystone mill and erect
ing coal docks. 1t is likely
that much of the machinery will
arrive by water, but it is coming
all right, and a coal dock will be
built as soon as money can build
it.-Ashland Press.

Notes From Washington

From Our Regular Correspondent.
At the last Interstate Com
merce Commission has decided
that it will apply to the Circuit
Court of the State of New York
for authority to compel b. II.
Hartman to answer the queS-
tions that he refused to answer
when he was on the witness
stand in New York. This on
the face of it may not be a very
important decision. It will have
no particular effect on the ques-
ton Of a civil or a criminal pros.
ecution. But it will probably
ruin Mr.. Hartman as a railroad
promoter if the decision of the
court is against him and in favor
of the commission. It is for
this reason: The questions he
evaded in the New York inquiry
were how much private interest
he had IN the stock of the South
ern Pacific when the Union Paci.
fc bought that stock for the pur-
pose of owning the competing
road. The question in connec-
ton with the Alton was in the
same direction. The Commits
sion wanted to know how much
of the stock of the Alton Mr..
Hartman bought before he
turned 1T over to the stock
holders reorganization syndi.
cate how much he held in the
syndicate and how much, if any,
he now holds and at what price
his various holdings were bought
apd sold.
Inc nnancler refused TO an
swer these questions on the
ground that they were his pri-
vate transactions, bluntly that
it was none of the Commission s
business. This might seem so
on first view. But it has a very
pertinent bearing on the mani
pulation of the several roads un-
der the Hartman management.
1t is believed that an answer to
these questions would show that
Hartman had profited vastly by
the several railroad deals, that

Now that the Thaw trial has
ended the daily papers will have
to get the bulk of their news
from some other source. The
trial has been a long drawn out
one and has cost the county of
New York $78, 900 while the de-
tense spent $225,Ooo. The trial

New York that fellow promo
ter loots railroad or gets the
best of the general public in
deal. But it is a very different
thing when they find that they
have been "whipsawed" them
selves and that their partner in
a deal has bought cheaper and
sold dearer to them than they
had any reason to suspect. Mr..
Harriman's fortune, vast as it is
will not suffice unaided for buy
ing and selling whole transcon-
tinental lines, and if his business
associates find reason to fight
shy of him. his career as pro-
moter is perilously near done.
For this reason there will be
hot legal fight over the demand
that Mr.. Hartman answer the
questions of the Commission.
Whichever party is beaten in the
New York court will be sure to
appeal Immediately to the Su-
preme Court of the United
States. There is no chance of
getting a hearing for it before
the court meets for the October
session: Then at the request Of
the Attorney General the case
may be made special and set
forward for an early hearing,
But the decision can hardly be
looked for before the middle of
the coming winter. twill have
no effect, however, on the ques-
ton of a prosecution of Mr.. Har-
riman under the anti trust law.
There is already material enough
to warrant report to the De-
partment of Justice and the
question of prosecution and the
nature of it, whether it shall be
civil or criminal, will be left to
the Attorney General. This re.
port cannot be made in less than
a month.
The decision of the Supreme
court of the United States that
| the Isle of Pines is Cuban and
not United States property will
be a severe blow to hundreds of
American citizens who have in
vested all or nearly all their
money in property there under
the impression that they were
under the protection of the Unit
ed States. There is no question
when the treaty of Paris was
signed that everyone thought
the Isle of Pines was American
property. The island was mark
ed as a United Styles possession
even on the official maps, and the
right of the United States to it
pr obably never would have been
questioned had not Gen. Wood
calmly handed over the Island to
the Cuban government while he
was in control of Havana. Since
then there has been endless con
test and litigation and it was a
question whether the Supreme
court or the Senate would pass
on the matter first. The Senate
did not want to go on record in a
treaty, and SO the matter was
delayed till the close of the ses-
sion, and now it has been settled
by fhe Supreme court. But the
residents of the island are de-
termined not to give up without
a struggle. 1t is probable that
there will oe things doing in the
Island after the United States
turns Cuba over to the Cubans
again, and one may expect the
Isle of Pines to form the head.

The San Francisco call., 1907-01-30

President has spoken with ex-
treme frankness on this matter
recently, not only at the Gridiron
dinner on Saturday night, but to
visitors at the White House.
The President told several Cali
fornia visitors that if the people
of San Francisco would only stop
the agitation and agree to admit
Japanese children of proper age In
schools. he could get treaty within
thirty days excluding Japanese laborers
from the United States. To one visitor
he is reported to have said: 81 am ex-
tremely annoyed by the attitude Of
some of the people of San Francisco.
When you are controlled by such men
as Ruef and a bassoon player-what's
his -Schmitz-what can you ex-
pect?"
It was learned today that overtures
were made to certain powerful in
f1uences in California some days ago
looking to the quiet admission of Jap
anese children in the schools for a few
weeks, during which time the President
was to obtain an agreement upon a
treaty with the Japanese ambassador
excluding japanese laborers from this
country. But before anything could
be done in California toward getting
concerted action. the Washington au-
thorities threw fat in the fire by start
ing suits in the State and Federal
courts to compel the admission of Jap
anese children in public schools.
Members of the California delega-
ton expect that the President will urge
them tomorrow to put quietus on the
anti-Japanese agitation in California
for a few weeks in order that he may
negotiate an exclusion treaty. They are
not sure that this plan would be FEAST
BILE, even If public sentiment in Cali
fornia could be subdued, which they
doubt.
Representative Kahn said today that
California neither wanted nor needed
a new treaty with Japan. He said that
the existing treaty fully covered the
subject
Under this treaty" said Kahn, I'VE
have a right to enact an exclusion law
against Japanese labor, just as Japan

ton of censor of morals for the naval
colony. may come under the limelight
OF a threatened Congressional investi-
cation.
Paymaster Lukesh, who was arrested
some time ago for having been intoxi-
Gated in the navy yard. after he had
come to this station with an unsayory
record from the Orient, was attached
to the receiving ship Independence.
This luckless craft was given notoriety
a few months ago by the escapades of
former Lieutenant Edward H Dunn.
Lukesh, because of his rank, was en-
arrest to his quarters In the ward room
aboard the receiving ship pending the
convening of courtmartial board to
hear the charges against him. In let
ter sent to Secretary Of the Navy Met
calf Lukesh has demanded that, pre-
vious to his retirement from the SER
vice next Thursday, Captain Harber be
ordered to explain why he was confined
in a dungeon in the hold of the prison
ship Manila, along with convicted pris-
oners of the lowest rank in the service.
The quarters are alleged to have been
so vile that when Lukesh was trans
ferred to the Naval Hospital on the
island he was in wretched condition.
While on the Manila Lukesh had to
associate with the ordinary enlisted
prisoners. He had no wash stand, but
was forced to use buckets to drink
from and bathe in. These and various
other cruelties are alleged in a commu-
nication sent on to Washington, asking
for redress.
In addition to sending this letter to
the Secretary of the Navy. Lukesh, who
was formerly a personal friend of Will
liam Mckinley and Mark Hanna, has
sent a letter to Senator Foraker asking
the latter to take up his case on the
floor Of the Senate unless the Navy De-
partment orders an investigation into
the charges against Harber.

FRANCE TO REJECT
BISHOPS OFFER

PARIS, Jan. 29.-The proposition
which the French bishops. with the
approval of the Pope have now sub
mitted to the Government seems to
offer the hrst real prospect Of an ad-
justment of the conflict between
church and state under the separation
regime. While it involves a material
modification of the position taken In
the last papal encyclical, the PROPOSE
tion put forward has all tho appear
ance of an ultimatum. Whether the
Government, in spiJe Of the conces-
sions made and making In the interest
of peace, will accept a settlement based
on the adequate recognition of the
Roman hierarchy remains to be seen.
The model contract which the bishops
have submitted provides for the vir-
tual lease of the churches in per-
petuity to the parish priests by the
Mayors, the leases being for eighteen
ulation engaging the communal, mu-
nicipal and state authorities not to in
terfere with the administration of the
church and parish are invalid except
on express ratification of the bishop
and become null the moment the parish
priest loses the bishops authorization.
The response made tonight by Minis
ter of Education BRAND to the declar
alton of the bishops. was short and un-
mistakably clear. He said: The con-
ditions are unacceptable"
This rejection of the proffered set
Element was voiced in the course of the
debate in the Chamber of Deputies on
the new public meetings bill. the first
section of which was adopted by an
overwhelming majority. This bill pro-
vides for the holding OF meetings of all
kinds at any hour with previous
declaration. The Chamber adjourned
