TESTIMONY rs ALL IN
HARRISBURG CAPITOL coMM1s-
SION TO PREPARE REPORT.

HARRISBURG. Pa. June 2S-The CAPT.
toll investigation commission completed the
taking of testimony today with the ex-
animation of former Gov. Stone of Pitts
burg, president of the capitol building
commission, by which the contract was let
to Payne & Co. for the construction of the
capitol. Mr.. Stone was also president of
the board of grounds and buildings by
virtue of his Office of governor. in 1902.
when the Pennsylvania Construction Com
pany was given q contract for metallic
furniture. This contract was afterward
made so elastic as to enable the Pennsyl-
vana Construction Company to supply ST.
OOO, 900 worth of metallic furniture for the
say should have been furnished at profit
for $3.50, 900. .-.-
The commission will now prepare it's re-
port to Gov. Stuart, upon which civil and
criminal prosecutions will be instituted by
Attorney General Todd.
The report will set forth. according to a
member of the commission, that there was
evident collision and conspiracy between
Joseph M. Huston, the Philadelphia archi-
tect and John H. Sanderson of Phiadel-
phia contractor for the capitol furnish
ings; that the contracts for the 100000
furnishings were improperly let and not to
the lowest bidders; that the furnishings
were not purchased at the prevailing mar
ket prices as the law requires; that in
ferior goods were supplied not in accord
ance with the plans and specifications, and
that there Is evidence of shortages; that
the members of the building commission
and of the board Of public grounds and
buildings were derelict in their duties to
the state in not checking the evident fraud
and collision that existed, and that there
were gross overchargeS and extraVagances
in supplying the furnishings.

NEW SITE FOR STABLE.
Suggestion That District Construct
One in Rear of Pumping Station.

In order to meet the objections of the
residents of Bloomingdale relative to the
establishment Of the District stables on the
plot Of land lying between I'd and 4th and
Bryant and w streets, the water depart
ment has proposed to the Commissioners to
locate the stable In the rear of the p1mp
ing station on Bryant street between I'd
and 4th streets northwest, and now user as
storage yard. According to the suggestion
the stable will be smaller than the one in
tended to be built. as there is not suf-
f1cient ground on the site selected for as
large a structure as the department really
needs. The stable, as now proposed. will
accommodate but thirty horses. instead of
fifty intended to be stabbed in the building
formerly projected.
This location. it is believed. will meet
with no objections from residents of the
section. as it is remote from the street and
from private property, and will be screened
from view, both by the station itself. which
fronts on Bryant street, and by the treat
ment of the ground, which very largely
screens it from view from all sides.
In selecting the location the water de-
partment authorities are satisfied that there
cannot be a suspicion Of danger of con-
terminating the water supply by reason of
the location Of the stable at any point in
the vicinity.

NO CHANGE IS ONTEMPLATED
TAFT DENIES REPORTS REGARD
ING CANAL CONSTRUCTION.
Declares That the Published State
ments Are Tissue Of Falsehood.
Leaves Not Requested.

'It is tissue of falsehood." said Secre-
tary Taft today when his attention was
called to the reports of dissatisfaction on
the part of the administration with the
management Of affairs under the Isthmian
canal commission and of the intention of
the officers engaged in that work to rein-
quish 1t and return to the United States
Secretary Taft arrived here this afternoon
from a visit to Oyster Bay and New Haven,
and proceeded at once to his office in the
War Department.
He declared that there was no prospect
of any change in the Panama canal COM
mission as now organized. Col. Goethals
and his assistants, the Secretary said, were
doing excellent work, and so far as he knew
were entirely satisfied with their duties.
They had not given single intimation of
dissatisfaction with any phase Of the work.
and the Secretary said that he hadn't heard
of single fault on their part.
So far as was possible it was the policy
OF the Department to have all the canal
work done on the isthmus and to reduce
the Washington force to the lowest limit
commensurate with good administration
The only officials to be stationed here he
said, would be the purchasing agent, Mai
II. F. Hodges. Corps of Engineers; the
ASsioeifC ouOltOi, anu Tie deputy u.s.

of the commission, has not been settled

there has not been a single kick of any
sort. There is no truth in the stories of
the army officers asking for leave Of alb

TOLD HUNTING STORIES
BRITISH AMBASSADOR TO ABYS-
SINIA AT OYSTER BAY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OYSTER BAY. N. Y, June 29.-In order
to talk of hunting big game President
Roosevelt sent for Sir John Harrington,
British ambassador to Abyssinia, and the
two took lunch together at Sycamore Hill
today. Sir John will spend all afternoon
with the President and the two will likely
go bathing. The ambassador to King Men,
elfk's domain is famous hon and elephant
hunter, and he didn't deny that he had in
vited Mr.. Roosevelt to share an African
hunting trip with him some time after 1903.
Abyssinian politics were discussed by the
President and Sir john and the outcome
may be an advancement for Frank r. Now
rer, our consul General to King Meneliks
court city, Ads Ababa.
A short time ago. after being in Abyssinia
for six weeks, Mr.. Mowrer returned to the
United States with fearful tale of not
being able to live On the salary he was re-
ceiving. He said there were SO many court
functions there that he could not keep him
self in the proper clothes. He made an ap-
plication that his Office be changed to that
of minister, with a proportionate increase
in salary and the matter Is still pending at
Washington.
Another visitor at Sycamore Hill today
was M. E. Bannon, newly appointed Indian
commissioner.

PEACE AT THE HAGUE
PROPOSALS LOOKING TO INTER-
NATIONAL ARBITRATION.

THE HAGUE, June 2S-All the delegates
to the peace conference agree that the first
important sitting will deal with arbitration.
which many of the powers, chiefly the
United States, desire to strengthen to such
point as to make 1t become an institution
which gradually will lead to the abolition
of war among nations, as confidence in the
justice of ordinary courts gradually led to
the abolition of dueling among citizens.
The principal efforts in this direction are
concentrated in an effort to render The
Hague arbitration tribunal really perma-
nent giving 1t such power prestige and in
fuence, and, above ALL unshakab Bile Impair
and also to simplify the procedure and les
sen the expenses, thus making it more &C
cessible.
Prof. de Martens has made propositions on
the subject Of good offices. mediation and
on international commission of inquiry, In
Guiding the drawing up of rules and regu-
lations for procedure in cases of arbitra-
ton as deduced from the experience of the
last eight years, being in reality modifca-
ton Of the convention Of 1891.
Several countries, including the United
States, Great Britain, Germany and Italy.
have other propositions on the subject of
arbitration ready to be presented sepa-
rately or as amendments. all aiming to
make arbitration the ordinary course to be
followed by the dtsputants-in fact. trying
to generate feeling that it would be dis
honorable to have recourse to force before
appealing to the law. The greatest difficulty
Is the system to be followed in the selec-
ton Of the judges, as upon their integrity
and high character will greatly depend the
success of the permanent arbitration court.
The proposition that each signatory
power select two persons of it's nationality
recognized as eminent jurists, Is consid-
cred impracticable, as it would transform
the court into a parliament of nearly a
hundred members. Gen. Horace Porter has
several propositions on the subject but
they have not. yet been announced or def
nitely drafted.
Besides the proposition regarding arbi-
tration. Italy will present a proposition
against that of Great Britain on the laying
Of automatic floating and submarine mines,
as Italy needs mines to defend her 5000
miles of coast. and will also present an
amendment to the French proposition on
the opening of hostilties, not agreeing to
any delay between a declaration of war
and the beginning of hostilities.
