A permanent national fair 10 contain
exhibits from every State in the Union
and to be housed in a S14.000.000 build
ing in New York City is planned by
some of the State societies having head
quarters there. The project contemplates
continuous exposition, including the
best features of worlds fairs of the past
and luxurious clubrooms for the State
societies. Congress will be asked at its
next session to appropriate $5,OOO,Ooe
toward this enterprise, and each of the
State Legislatures will be asked for $780,
600. The leaders in the movement, which
began with the Michigan society, say they
have been assured of support by many
members of Congress and by several
State legislators. and believe they can
carry it through. Robert C. Aud, a
member of the Michigan society, is one
of the advocates of the plan. He said !:
The building not only will serve the
business interests Of the States, out will
be an enduring monument to the idea OF
statehood as conceived by the trainers Of
the Constitution. Once it is completed
no American citizen will die content with
out seeing it. 1t will advertise the ex-
istence of our commonwealth. too often
forgotten beyond the metropolitan limit
William j. Worden of Michigan is the
father of the project.

NOTED HOTEL THIEF TAKEN.
Kelly, "Artfu1 Dodxer," Captured
After Fight with Guest.

Awakened by the entrance of thief
to his room at the Hotel Morrison in Chi
cago early the other morning, Alfred Rit-
tenberg clothing salesman of Avilla,
Ind, grappled with the robber and injured
him 50 badly in the fierce battle that fol-
lowed that the man was unable 70 escape
Guests of the hotel, hearing the struggle
in the room of the salesman, hurried to
his assistance and the thief tried TO es-
cape. Owing to his injury, which retard-
ed his speed, he was captured III the lobby
after an exciting chase through the corri-
doris by Policeman J. ]. Murphy. AT the
station the thief was said to be A Kelly,
alias E. W. Curtis, known TO the police
as the "Artful Dodger" Kelly, the POI
lice say, is known throughout the country
as desperate burglar and hotel sneak
thief. The police say that Rittenberg
was very lucky in his battle with the
thief. as the latter was armed, and If the
salesman had not prevented him from get
ting possession of his revolver he would
very likely have killed the salesman. The
thief sneaked past the attendants at the
hotel and made his way to the sixth floor,
where the best rooms of the hotel are
located, gaining an entrance to the room
by duplicate key.

The United States Supreme Court, in a
decision announced by Justice Holiness
rules that the Union Pacific and Buring
ton railroads must pay the tax rate on
their property in the State of Nebraska
to the amount of S3,100.000 This in
cludes the taxes of 1904-0J-06, with pen
alties for non-payment. The railroads
had offered to settle for $2,200,000. The
objection to payment had been made orig
inally on the plea that the equalization
board. acting under the influence of po-
ltical agitation. had so increased the val
uation of property as to almost double the
aggregation payment of railroads in pre-
vious years. 1t was charged that the
board took into consideration interstate
business and property of the railroads To-
Gated outside of the State. but on these
points the court decided otherwise.

THE RUSSIAN DONNA.
Russia's Parliament Made I'd of
Many Conflicting Parties.

Russia's Parliament Made I'd of
Many Conflicting Parties.
The second Russian Donna. now
holding sessions in the Tauride palace
at st. Petersburg, is the center of
worldwide interest. The life of the
irst douma was brief, having been dis
solved by the Gar, but the present
body, differing from the first. has we'll
defined aims and is expected to achieve
a substantial program of constructive
legislation.
Unfortunately, however, the douma
of 1907 is a body OF minority groups,
so that any positive action must be
effected through coalitions. Coalitions
as rule are not very stable, so that
surprising changes may mark the ca
reer of the new Parliament Still on
important matters it should not be
hard to secure working majorities sach
as are often found in the French
Chamber of Deputies or the German
Reichstag, where the representatives
of the people are divided into many
small groups. At present the doum>
consists of 495 members. with % more
yet to be elected. These are divided
into Monarchists. or reactionaries,
Mo!erates, Constitutional Democrats,
Poles, Progressives and Socialists, or
Revolutionists. In addition there are
Independents, or unattached members
The Socialist group are the strongest
Democrats rank next to them. In the
organization of the douma the candi-
date of the Constitutional Democrats,
Feodor Golovin, was elected speaker,
even the Socialists throwing their
strength to him in opposition to the
Monarchical candidate. Goloyin is
man of great energy and enjoys the
confidence of the people. He is 40 years
of age and was at one time president
Of the Moscow Zemstvo. With the ex-
ceptioa of the Socialists, who are anx-
ious to abolish throne and dynasty and
the Monarchists, who are opposed to
constitutional government, all the mem
bers of the douma believe in constitll-
tional government and it should not be
hard. with this as a basis, to form
coalition which will give to Russia
much remedial legislation.
