Modified Form of LafoIIette
Amendment May Be Ac-
copied by Him.
WANTS HOUSE TO ACT.
SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE
MEASURE YET REMAINS TO BE
SEEN-ANOTHER BILL.

Washington, Feb 22-Concession in
the interest of the public are prom
Used by Senator Aldrich, if an agree
ment can be reached to insure the ear
~ passage of his emergency currency
bill. So many defects in the measure
have already been pointed out, SO rap
idly increasing is the public sentiment
against it, that its supporters have
been forced to realize that its passage
in its present form is almost impos-
5ible.
Senator Aldrch says that he would
accept a modification of the bill if it
was agreed that a part of the reserve
should be invested in securities of such
character that they might be used as
basis for emergency currency.
A far greater concession has been in
timated by Aldrich in a suggestion that
a modified form of the La Toilette
amendment be also accepted. This
proposed that no railroeu bonds be &C
less there has been an official valua-
ton OF the railroads issuing the bonds.
1t Is Bound to Come.
Aldrich appreciates that railroad ap-
praisal as urged by the president is GER
tain to come, and, therefore. that be-
ginning might as well be made in con-
nection with the currency bill. His
purpose would be to have the railroads
whose values are accurately known ia
ken first, and their bonds made imme-
diately available for currency purpos-
Is.
Aldrich, it Is understood will not &C
cept this proposition as coming from
La Toilette, but if offered by some SEN
ator friendly TO the proposed legisla-
ton it will probably be adopted.
Whether Aldrich will make sufficient
concessions to make the passage of the
bill through the house at all probable
is question, but he is now striving
10 attain that end
The banking and currency commit
tee is now almost certain to report a
i'll to the house before the bill passes
e senate, and will be prepared to
ght for it as substitute for the sem
ate measure. In that event such di-
vision of the republicans is probable as
will make possible a combination be-
tween the Independents and the demo-
Gratis which may turn out to be strong
enough to override the house leaders
and defeat the Aldrich bill,

TAFT WOULD AID
ALASKAN OFFICERS
Expenses of Army Men There
Large.

Washington, .. c.. Feb. 22-Secre-
tary Taft has made plea to congress
on behalf of those unfortunate army
officers who are forced to perform du-
ty in Alaska. The present system of
reimbursing army officers for travel,
was never intended to fit the limited
facilities of that barren section. with
the result that officers up there are out
of pocket every time they move on
government business. Secretary Taft
has written to certain senators, call
ing attention to the experiences of a
lieutenant i'll Alaska, showing the in
justice of the present rigid law. which
allows only so cents per mile to cover
all expenses of officers travelling for
the department. This lieutenant is re-
quired to make four trips a year OF
-115 miles each. His allowance is
about 50 and his actual expenses in the
neighborhood Of 500 per trip On this
journey the officer requires the servic-
es OF seven dogs. and their keep
amounts to 90 cents a day, and the trip
requires nine days. In addition he
has to pay for meals at the rate of 81
each and 81 for each nights lodging,
Every time he makes one of these trims
the officer is out of pocket, close to
800.

No Protest Received.

Washington, Feb. 22.-It was stated
with positiveness at the state depart
ment that no official reports or pro-
tests from any source have been re-
ceived regarding Japan's commercial
aggressiveness in Manchuria, and
from the nature of the situation none
is expected. 1t also is asserted that
the American government has no in
tention of addressing either Japan or
any of the other powers on the sub
tect eithsf at this time or when the
battleship feet reaches its destina-
ton.

Plot to Blow Up Docks.

Winnipeg, Man, Feb. eft be-
came known that certain Italian la
borers at Port Arthur and Fort Will
liam attempted last week to blow up
the huge Canadian Northern railway
coal docks recently erected at large
cost. Following the custom of the
BLACK Hand and similar blackmall-
ing societies, they first sent letter
to the manager of the docks that they
would blow him and his institution
up unless he found them work, naive
ly adding that an explosion would
create plenty of work for the SHOW
elers clearing away the debris. Sew
eral suspects will be examined.

Veal Boy Admits That He
Perjured Himself in Tes-
tImony Against BiIIik.
MAN MURDERED FAMILY.
1T WAS ON THE STRENGTH OF
THE LADS STATEMENTS IN
COURT THAT THE FORTUNE
TELLER WAS CONVICTED.

Chicago, Feb. 2e-Eighteen-year
old Jerry NJ. Vzral, whose testimony
more than any other persons served
to convict the Bohemian fortune tel
Ter, Herman Billik, of the murder of
six members of the Ezral family. has,
it is announced. recanted. and in afr
davit declares the testimony was sim
pie perjury. Billik is under sentence
to be hanged March 20. The supreme
court Thursday affirmed the judg
ment. destroying the mans last
chance, unless Governor Deneen shall
issue a pardon. Not only does the
Vzral boy impugn his own evidence,
but he declares that two of his rela-
tives also lied.
In the affidavit the boy states that
all the vital part of the testimony he
gave against Bilik at the trial was
perjury, that was taught him by
high police official and an assistant
states attorney He specifically
names the men whom he accuses.
In the affidavit Nzral, who is now
student IL Valparaiso, Ind, asserts
that he told the story because police
official threatened him with a charge
of murder unless he did as the police
wished him to do. The credit for pol
ishing off the fictitious narrative he
gives to an assistant states attorney,
with whom. he says. he was closeted
40 times, the conferences being from
one to four hours in duration. He fur
Their asserts that the inspector of po-
lice summoned him at least 90 times,
and that these conferences usually
lasted two hours.
The confession was obtained
through the instrumentality of the
Rev. P. J. O'Callaghan, head of the
Paulist Fathers in this city and pas
who has been working in Billik's be-
half for several months. Father
O'Callaghan, in explaining his connec-
ton with the case, says:
THE beginning of my interest dates
from last spring. In one of my fire.
quent visits to the county Jail | met
Sister Rose, who asked me to interest
myself in prisoner named Billlk.
She said he was there on the charge
of murder, but she knew he was an
innocent man. | said I had SO many
calls upon my time and sympathy that
I did not feel I could do anything for
the man. At any rate, said, he was
q fortune teller and charlatan. She
answered, But he should not hang for
being such told her I thought the
Judge and jury would do him justice.
To my establishment he was convict
ed, and felt that had neglected the
cause of an innocent man. Behind all
the accidentals of this case were the
prayers Of the devoted nun, who first
assured me Of Billik's innocence, and
the prayers of the sisters who are
called the Poor Clares."
Sister Rose of Columbus hospital,
an institution of the Italian order of
missionary sisters OF the Sacred
Heart, is the nun referred to. It was
she who converted the car barn ban
dit, Gustav Marx, who was executed
with Nledermeier and Vandyne, the
only one of the celebrated trio that
died a Christian.

SURVEYORS ACCURATE IN THEIR
WORK-MAY BE C.. & N. W.
PIONEERS BELIEVE DREAM OF
LIFETIME WILL COME TRUE.

That a railroad is to be built down
the Salmon river and through the
Snake river bottom is the belief OF
residents of the upper Salmon coun-
try near Salmon City, according to
information furnished by a gent'e-
man who spent several weeks in
that portion of Idaho this summer.
That the citizens of that community
have something to hang their hopes
or is evidenced by the permanent
character of the survey stakes which
have been set along the proposed
route.
For several weeks surveying
party worked in the vicinity OF Sal
mon City, and the proposed line Is
dotted with grade stakes while the
rlats and contour maps made by the
engineers are elaborate and accu-
rate.
There seems to be no doubt as to
the identity of. the surveyors, in fact
the engineers took no pains to con-
ceal their identity. They are so GER
tain of a railroad in that portion OF
the country that they discuss the
question as being an immediate prob
ability, and all of them believe the
Chicago and Northwestern is seeking
an outlet through the Salmon valley
on its way to tidewater. From Sal
mon river it is no difficult task to
build line to the Wyoming terml-
nus of the Northwestern. while a
! read from here to Puget sound can
be- built along the water level large
portion of the way.

opinion that construction work VIII

STEAMER BAND0N
IS WRECKED
CAPTAIN ATTEMPTED TO CROSS
MUD FLATS AT NIGHT
ROUGH WATER AND SPRINGS
A LEAK-CREW SAFE.

Tillamook, Oct. 3.-Ine steam
schooner Bandon, commanded by
Capt. Reese, was wrecked off the
mud flats in Tillamook bay. She at
tempted to cross out last night with
load of lumber from the Miami
Lumber company at Jacksonville.
Capt Reese took the south instead OF
the north channel and the weather
being rough, the vessel was pound
ed so heavily on the bar that she
opened seam and took water freely.
The Bandon then put back into
the bay and anschored. Her fires
were put ou, by the water. Her
anchors would not hold her and a
portion of her deck load was thrown
off.
The vessel drifted about all night
and was finally landed this morning
on the mud flats. The crew is safe
