SUIT AGAINST T. F. WALSH UP.
Violette Watson Witness Against Rich
Mine Owner.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Violette Watson
appeared before Referee William A. Pur-
rington at IS Wall street yesterday to
answer certain questions in regard to the
suit brought by Dethif c. Hansen against
Thomas F. Walsh, the millionaire mine
owner of Washington and Colorado to re-
cover 500 600 for alleged libel in connection
with a suit which Miss Watson brought
against Walsh to recover 500 600 and in
another suit to recover from Walsh and
Miss Watson for legal services in the $780,
600 suit.
Miss Watsons appearance was due to the
failure of her counsel, Battle & Marshall
to appear before Justice Mccall in special
term, part'1, of the supreme court on Mon
day to argue the application made by the
lawyers to Vacate an order compelling her
eXaminat ton.
After the order for Miss Watsons exami-
nation as witness before trial was issued
Battle & Marshall got order directing
Hansen to show good cause why the order
for the examination should not be vacated
Upon the failure of Battle & Marshall to
appear Justice Mccall dismissed the pro-
ceedings and directed Miss Watson to APP
pear before Referee burlington yesterday.
After she had answered one or two ques-
tons and was sworn the proceedings We're
adjourned until next Thursday at 2 pm
Dan O'Reilly was appointed counsel for
Miss Watson. and she agreed to turn all
the papers in her possession over to him.

GIVES WAY BEFORE JAPs.
Russia Finds Late Enemy in Opposi
> ton Everywhere.

HARDIN, June II, via Mukden, June 49,
Russia's plan of reconstruction in the far
east now appears to be based on fear OF
China. Notwithstanding a lack Of money
Russia is endeavoring to strengthen greatly
her Siberian borders. The effect of their
loss of prestige with the Chinese. especially
the Manchurians. and the breaking away
OF high mandarin beneflciaries. despite. the
subsidies paid them, together with the lofty
attitude of China, now that the Japanese
are regarded as hectoring and brow-beat-
ing them. powerfully inpresses the Russian
people.
All the Russions formerly employed on
the Island of Saghalien have abandoned the
Japanese there, though they are needed IN
various industries. The frontier line in
Saghalien and Russia and Korea Is strictly
military. Russfa's contentious regarding
the fisheries have been disregarded. and
the negotiations for joining the Russian and
Japanese railways at Kwang- chengtsu have
failed, the Japanese conducting both along
their own lines. The Russians acknowl-
edge their inability to combat Japanese ad-
vances Manchurian interests
Minister of War Terauchi last week WIS.,
tied and inspected the Japanese strategic
position at kwans -chengtsu, causing dis
quiet to the Russian officials. who say that
the relations between the two nations are
not yet on working basis. All classes
view the Russian tenure south of the Amur
as temporary. Prmorsk is regarded as a
territorial outpost, where, on account of
lack of funds, Russia has suspended the
construction Of barracks and other works
to house an increased garrison, but con-
tinues to push immigration.
The failure of government railways and
other peaceful methods used in the past to
establish Russian trade or meet the new
condition in Manchuria has forced Russian
vested interests here to appeal for the In
PRODUCTION of foreign enterprises, which, it
is expected, would constitute a barrier to
the japanese.
In Siberia the double-tracking' of the rail-
way has been Indefinitely postponed, and
the government is devoting itself solely to
correcting Russia's original strategic lines
on the frontier, as shown by the resurvey
of the Amur railway north of the Amur
river. 1t Is planned to connect the Amur
and Baikal roads, giving protected COM
munication to Primorisk in case of acct
dent to the exposed trans-Baikal railway or
the loss of the understandable Manchurian
railway.
The Russian ministry Of war is inaugu-
rating a generous policy of exploitation in
eastern Manchuria, Mongolia and the Amur
basin, but the government is subsidzing
business in Mongolia only outside of the
japanese sphere, its purpose being to
strengthen Russia against the newly In
spired Chinese aggression.

Cutting Up a Building.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Singer build
ing. at Liberty street and Broadway, is CO.
ing under the knife. Its top is to bs sliced
OF and three additional stories sandwiched
In between the seventh and eleventh floors
Work on the scaffoldirg began yesterday.
The undertaking is confined to the original
corner building, which is to be part of the
1orty-one-story structure now going up-the
tallest office building in the world
According to Archi0t Ernest Flagg, the
slicing is necessary in order that ttle old
eleven-story building shall conform in height
and outline to the new fourteen-story addi-
ton, above and from the center of which
will rise the 612-foot tower.
Instead of actually raising the four top
floors inclosed under the mansard roof, the
roof and structural material will be re-
moved in sections to the ground. The
eighth, ninth and tenth floors will be built
on, after which the old mansard roof. in
closing the four additional floors, will be
replaced section by section. The original
corner building will then exactly duplca te
the new fourteen-story building adjoining.

Her Tea House Made Debts.

BOSTON, June 14.-Elaborate ventures
which caused the contracting of large
tradesmen's bills, are attributed as the
cause of the bankruptcy of Mrs. Susan W.
Sefridge in New York city.
Mrs. Selfridge is the widow of Capt. James
Russell Selfridge U. S. N, and belongs to
a leading Boston family. Two Of her sons
who live here. are lawyers. Her husband
died while stationed at the Boston navy
yard. She leased artistic cottage at
Magnolia last summer apd opened tea
house, where she rented rooms to young
men and served tea on the veranda. She

"SH0RT TIME" EVILS
CREDIT MEMS ASSOCIATION CON-
sIDERs THE MATTER.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE practice of many
commercial houses and department stores
of making short payments" and of steal
ing time" in paying bills, the terms of
which are stated in the invoice, was de-
nounced yesterday by speakers at the sec
ond session Of the twelfth annual conven-
ton Of the National Association of Credit
Men. The subject arose during a discus
sion on the report submitted by the COM
mittee on Improvement in mercantile agency
service. Following the adoption of the re-
port resolutions also were adopted con-
demning the practice complained of by a
number of the delegates.
I'VE have reached time when it is nee
essary to check one Of the greatest evils
in the business world said T. S. Evans of
Philadelphia. That is the practice of MAX
Ing short payments. / have in mind one

big store in Philadelphia and one in New
York.
Tax Upon Business.
Besides making short payments this
firm always takes more than Il month above
it's discount period in making payment
This is a tax upon business, and the time
has come when such practices must be
stopped. no matter how powerful the par
ticular offenders"
1t was stated that the Philadelphia firm
makes 100000 annually by making these
short payments. and that the manufacturers
and jobbers are afraid to protest for fear
of losing the firm s business.
An extensive report was submitted by the
committee on fire insurance. The commit
tee recommended the broadest cooperation
between business men and the fire nsur-
ance companies in an effort to solve the
problems of reducing fires to minirn UNI.
Reports also were read on adjustment bu-
rcaus, business literature, membership and
legislature.
The committee on legislation recommend
ed more uniform laws for the regulation
of business in the different states, and
urged that a bulk sales law be passed by
every state Legislature Frank w. Yale,
secretary of the Kan as City Association,
spoke on the ''Dange.s OF individualism.'

SEES PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
Outlines Possible End Of Railroad
Tendencies.

NEW YORK, June 14.-That the national
government will be forced to lend its credit
to finance the needs of the railroads of the
country was the statement made by James
]. Hill in an interview yesterday. This
he pointed out might lead to government
ownership of the roads.
THE public, in its evaporation" said
Mr.. Hill, will demand that the railroads
shall lay certain rails and provide more
cars. The railroads will answer that they
cannot: that their credit has been ruined
The government will be obliged to step in
and lend its credit to supply this deficiency
The situation might lead to government
ownership of railroads. That would be the
end of republican government
The cause of the trouble Is that the
business of the United States has outgrown
the capacity CT its railroads, and the rail-
roads are in no position to catch up. If
men cannot get their freight moved they
must cease to produce it. 1t does not APP
pear any easier for a railroad to get money
now than 1t was few months ago. I
know of instances in western cities where
short-term notes of some eastern roads are
being peddled around in 5000 lots on
6la to ~ per cent basis Railroads cam
not increase their facilities under these
conditions.
During the last seven or eight months
the railroads have raised something like
$500, 0OO.CaO. Has it gone to increase ia Gill;
ties? Not at all; most of it went to pay
off old bills
Concerning the general business outlook,
Mr.. Hill said:
There is a general slowing up in bust
ness. 1t appeared inevitable last fall: il
came, and l believe it will continue.
don't think 1t will hurt anybody, but that
it exists there is no doubt
Mr.. Hill said his railroad lines had been
troubled, as have other roads, by excess
sve breakage of steel rails
The last spring and winter have been
the worst on record for rail breakages,"
said Mr.. Hill 1T has been said that the
evil could be remeded by the exclusive use
ence that the open-hearth rails break worse
than the Bessemer rails. What's the mat
ter? Too much prosperity. People are try
ing to make too much money. The plants
are working too hard and trying to do too
