The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1908-04-03

Paris, Mar 26.-David Jayne Hill,
who arrived Wednesday evening from
The Hague and went to the Hotel Re-
gina, expressed the greatest surprise
when informed by the Associated
Press that the German government
had declined TO receive him in the ca
pacity of American ambassador to sue
coed Charlemagne Tower.
In the absence of official advices,
Minister Hill declined further to dis
cuss the matter.
The announcement of Germany's at
titude toward Mr.. Hill caused much
surprise in French diplomatic circles
in which he is well known, especially
from his writings on international law
and his service in The Hague peace
conference. In the absence of the pub.
LEGATION CT the specific reasons for the
German governments refusal to re-
ceiye Mr.. Hill the incident is not un.
derstood and has not been the subject
of public comment.
The Matan thinks that the reason for
Germany's refusal to accept DR.. Hill is
the attitude which he and the other
American delegates adopted at The
Hague conference. This attitude on
several occasions greatly displeased
Germany.

OBJECTS TO HILL.
THE NEWLY APPOINTED AMBA9,
SADOR NOT ACCEPTABLE TO
THE GERMAN EMPEROR.
THE REASON is A MYSTERY
Attitude Assumed at The Hague Willis
American Delegate May Be the
Cause of the kaaer's
DispIeasure.

Washington, Mar. 26.-The German
government has declined to receive DR..
David Jayne Hill in the capacity of
American ambassador to succeed Char
lemagne Tower, whose resignation has
been accepted to take effect upon the
qualification of his successor. DR.. Hill
is at present American minister to The
Hague and was formerly first assistant
secretary of state under the admins
tration of Secretary Hay
The objection to DR.. Hill is one pure
ly personal to Emperor William, who
has simply caused it to be made known
that the American diplomatist is per-
soma non Srata 10 him. The reason for
the emperor's objection is connected
with the visit to America several
years ago of his brother, Prince Henry,
the ranking admiral of the German
navy. DR.. Hill at that time, was first
assistant secretary of state and neces
sarily was brought into official con-
tact with the distinguished foreign Wis
itors. Just what he did or did not do
to give offense is not known here.
perplexing feature of the case is
presented by the fact that last No
vember the German government let
it be known that Dr. Hill would be cor
daily received as American ambassa-
dor to Berlin. At that time Ambassa-
dor Tower. after the president had
sought in vain to dissuade him from
such a course, reached the decision
that proper consideration for his own
private interests and the welfare of
his children, whose education he
deemed IL necessary to perfect in
America, obliged him to insist upon |
the acceptance of his resignation.
After the conference between AM |
bassador Sternburg and Secretary |
Root it was ascertained that a letter
is On route from the German capitol |
Which contains a full explanation of |
the reasons for the change of attitude
on the part of that government toward
Mr.. Hill In the absence of the details
of the objection no comment could be
ELECTED as to the probable action OF
the American government in respect
to the matter In any event, it is re-
garded as certain that an expressed
objection to Mr.. Hill made by Germany
will be decisive so far as his appoint
ment is concerned.

way as to endanger the public welfare.
A man may not erect dangerous
building on his city lot because it would
imperil or damage the property Of
others. For the same reason, a forest
owner may be restrained from denud
send down upon the lands Of his neigh
Dor the soil wash to cover their mead
ows, choke their streams, and injure
them in their rightful use and enjoy
ment of property. 1t was declared that
there is nothing in the constitution Of
the United States or in that Of the
state of Maine prohibiting the enforce
ment- of a forest law Of that kind.
Names greatest wealth is in its
forests-directly or indirectly. In sew
eral ways it has been pioneer in for
est legislation and management. 1t is
one Of the few states--probably the
only state--whose forests are nearly
holding their own. LAUNDERING has
gone on there for long time, and every
year there is something ready to cut.
The folly of stripping land and leaving
it defenseless against erosion is we'll
understood in Maine, and the legisla-
ture has taken the preliminary steps
toward a law to compel unwilling for
est land owners to leave enough small
timber and brush on the ground to
cover it.-National Forester.

FOREST LAW IN MAINE.
Supreme Court Says State Has JurIs'
diction Over Private Trees.

Supreme Court Says State Has Juris'
diction Over Private Trees.
In holding that the legislature has a
constitutional right to pass laws regu-
lating the cutting Of timber on private
lands, If the cutting Is liable to be de-
trImental to the public welfare, the
Judges Of the Maine supreme court
handed down an opinion of great i'm
nortance to the owners Of forest land
in that state, and Of interest to land
owners in all parts Of the country.
The opinion refers particularly to the
cutting of small timber which should
be left growing to give forest cover
which will conserve the water and less
IN flood ravages and prevent or di-
minish soil erosion and consequent FILL
ing up Of the rivers and lakes. The
Judges specifically state that regula-
tions Of that kind cannot be construed
as the taking Of private property for
public use, and that the state need not
nav for young growth which 1t may
forbid the owner to cut.
This was not a court decision, Tor no
case was before the court for review
but was a formal opinion prepared at
the request of the senate for the guild
ance of the legislature in the enactment
Of laws to regulate forests and protect
the interests of the public. Similar
questions have come up in other states
and may be expected to come up in the
future.
In the proposition which the Maine
senate submitted to the judges for their
opinion it was stipulated that law
should not be enacted which would in
terfere with clearing Land for agricul-
tural, mining or manufacturing pur-
poses, or for building sites, or pleasure
grounds. The purpose is to forbid the
total stripping Of forest land where
forest cover is necessary to prevent the
wash of the soil, the lessening OF hood
ravages, and the mitigation Of drought
and where the public good requires that
such cover be preserved.
In submitting their opinion the judges
cited numerous examples Of leg
islation restraining property holders
from using their property in such a

The Kinq Had Riahts.

Once when Macready was per-
forming at the theater at Mobile,
Ala, his manner displeased one of
the actors, native American of pure
western type. This Claudius in Ham
let" resolved to "get even" with the
star for many supposed offenses, and
in this way he carried out his pur-
pose. When in the last scene HAM
let stabbed the usurper he reeled
forward and after a most spasmodic
finish stretched himself out precisely
in the place Hamlet required for his
own death. Macready, much annoy
ed, whispered fiercely:
Die farther up the stage, sir"
The monarch lay insensible, upon
which in a still louder voice the
Hamlet growled:
Die farther up the stage, sir"
Hereupon the Claudius, sitting up,
observed:
II believe I'm king here, and Ill
die where 1 please"
The tragedy concluded without
more ado.

A GRATEFUL SoN-IN-LAw.-H. H
Rogers, on his return voyage from
Bermuda last month, said one evening
in the smoking room Of his travelling
companion Of Mark Twain:
He is an incorrigible humorist
Even in his most emotional moments
he can't help being funny.
When he married in Elmira in
1870 his father-in-law made him a
present of a fine, well-furnished house
in Buffalo.
THE present came as a surprise.
Mark Twain knew nothing Of it TILL
amid a party of relatives and friends
he was shown over the luxurious
place. Then, when they told him II
was his, tears filled his eyes.
But he was still the humorist, and
turning to his father-in-law he said
though in a voice that trembled g
little:
"'Mr. Langdor, whenever you're In
Buffalo, if it's as much as twice g
year, you are to come right up here
and take tea. You can stay all night
too. if you want to, and it shan't cost
you a cent '"-Washington Star.

TRAINING DOGS.
Tricks of Professional Trainers That
Are Useful to Amateurs.

Are OS6Iul "
Few people other than those who
are thinking of making living out
Of the work would be prepared to give
the necessary time to the training Of
a trick dog, but some Of the secrets OF
the professional trainer may be Of use
to the man who wants his dog to be
always under his control and to know
few tricks.
Different trainers have different
methods of beginning the education
of their charges. One man, known to
the writer, always begins his first les
son with a new dog in this way: He
walks suddenly into the room where
the dog Is and without any word OF
warning pretends to be about to hit II
with a whip. If the dog crouches
away In fright the trainer knows that
the dog lacks spirit and will never be
of any use to him. If the dog turns
the man puts down the whip and goes
on to the rest Of the lesson.
Another trainer Is Of the opinion
that a dog should never know Of the
existence Of such a thing as a whip.
All trainers agree that when the bus
mess Of giving dog a lesson has once
commenced, there should be no cor
poral punishment. "Once lose your
temper" said a trainer to the writer,
land you may as we'll give 1t up at
once. A dog only gets flustered when
the trainer loses his temper, and
dog then cannot learn anything"
There Is, Of course, vast difference
between the intelligence Of dogs, and
it has been found that those which
learn the most quickly are either poo
dies or half-bred poodles. There is an
old saying among dog trainers that
''you can teach a poodle to do any
thing except love you." but there are
many exceptions to this rule.
The first thing that the profession
al trainer usually teaches his dog is to
sit on a chair and remain there until
he is told to get down. Two lessons
of a quarter of an hour day are bet
for little and often" is the trainers
motto. The good trainer knows from
the manner Of the dog when the les
son is long enough, for a dogFis just
like a child at school and cannot con-
centrate his attention on lesson for
any great length Of time.
The dog has to be brought back to
the chair over and over again, but In
week he will probably be proficient
at this simple accomplishment, and
then he is tested" The trainer will
allow other people to come into the
room while the lesson is proceeding,
and he will get them to whistle and
sing and make noise generally. If
the dog has been properly trained he
takes no notice of anyone or any
thing, but remains on his chair until
the trainer gives him the signal to get
down.

To THE ODOR BoRN.-A Chicago
man who was a member Of the COM
mittee on reception on the occasion Of
the visit of Prince Albert Of Belgium
a year or two ago, tells of his high
ness's inspection of the stOckyards.
The prince received every possible
attention and was much interested in
the magnitude of the industry and the
various processes for disposing of the
thousands Of cattle and hogs slaugh-
tered every day.
Just before he left he turned to the
intelligent young man who had been
told off to act as his guide and asked:
DO you never suffer any inconven-
ience from the odor here?"
What odor, your highness?' was
the naive response of the young man.

corridor. The dear little Jail birds!"
He shook his head and sighed.
They are all playing sick in that
ward" he resumed. There's nobody
can malir.ger like a Jail bird. His
tricks are amazing.
ITO fake a fever he will whiten his
tongue with chalk. flush his cheeks
with a red flannel undershirt and dis
order his stomach by swallowing a
quid Of tobacco.
"TO fake consumption he will cut
his gums so as to spit blood and go
through a terrific kind Of Swedish
movement in bed so as to produce
night sweats.
Some Jail birds have brought on
nettle rash by temporarily poisoning
themselves with smuggled crab or lob
ster. Some chew soap so as to froth
at the mouth in fake fits. Some even
thrust needles down to the lids Of the
eve to bring on cataract. ."-Minneap-
