WILL SELECT
OLYMPIC EIGHT
DILIGENT SEARCH BEING MADE
FOR MATERIAL TO PLACE IN
EIGHT DARED SHE'LL TO REP.
RESENT UNITED STATES

NEW YORK, Jan. Growing
authorities have commenced a dill
gent search for the best material to
be used in the eight-oared shell crew
that will represent the United States
in the Olympic regatta in London
next July. No definite decision will
be made as to the personnel of the
crew until the National association
holds its regular meeting in March,
but the preliminary plans will soon
be well under way. Crack oarsmen
of New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Detroit, Baltimore and even the Pa.
cific coast have announced their am
bition to secure place on the crew,
and the competition will doubtless be
keen.
1t has been suggested that Carne-
gle lake, Princeton, be selected as
the place for assembling the crew
and for preliminary practice, and
present appearances are that his
project Will be acted upon favora-
bly,. 1t is likely that a majority OF
the oarsmen selected will be from
the vicinity of this city and Phila-
delphia, and Princeton will be con-
venient for both cities. While many
Western oarsmen would like to get
on the crew, it Is not believed that
any of them will be selected, since
few are in position to remain long
enough in the East for adequate
trying out and training.
Ralph Zane, formerly stroke and
captain of the University of Penn
sylvania. will likely be selected as
stroke for the Olympic crew. Nearly
all the other great Eastern UNIVERSE
ties also have aspirants to places in
the boat that will defend American
rowing honors against the world.

COMPOSERS FIGHT
CANNED MUSIC

THEY ARE ENTITLED TO ROY

WASHINGTON. Jan. "a lively

the one hand and the manufacture
ers of canned music" on the other.
Those who WOO the muse believe
that they are entitled to a royalty
from the makers of photograph rec
ords and gramophone discs who use
their musical products for mechani-
cal reproduction. To accomplish the
protection of the bards from the ra-
pacity of the soulless corporations,
Senator Kittredge has introduced a
bill allowing composers the control
of the mechanical rights of the Off
spring of their brains. The bill has
men with the bitter opposition of
the mechanical music manufacture
ers, who declare that 1t will proba-
bly, result in one firm cornering the
canned music" market and thus
fostering wicked monopoly.
The manufacturers assert that If
they are compelled to pay royalties
to authors and composers it will cost
the pubic a million dollars a year
more for its mechanical music. The
composers reply that the talking
machine manufacturers make pro-
fit of Sc 2-3 per cent On their prod
ucts and that they can well afford to
pay the poor authors small royal
ty without raising the price of the
records to the public. The battle is
being waged merrily and the unfor-
tunate scions have been forced to
give much earnest thought to the
subject. Present appearances are
that the composers will win out and
that the disseminators of mechani-
cal music will have to say "By your
leave" to the author before Offering
a song or other musical production
to the public.

WALL STREET
Gets HEINzE
UNABLE TO MEET HIS OBLIGA.
TONS ON ACCOUNT OF BUsI-
NESS DEPRESSION is FORCED
TO SURRENDER BANK STOCK

NEW YORK, Jan. Ownership
of the principal interest in the Mer-
camille National bank passed yester-
day from F.. Augustus Heinze to Ed
win Gould. Mr. Heinze and his as
sociates controlled the bank until
the collapse of the corner in United
Copper stock last October. Mr..
Heinze obtained the chief interest
in the bank by purchase of the stock
of Edwin Gould and VIM Nelson
Cromwell, but much of the stock
was left in Gould's hands as security
for a loan negotiated by Heinze,
who became president of the bank.
Heinze continued in that position
until the disastrous attempt by Otto
Heinze & Co. to corner the copper
stock, as a result of which Heinze
withdrew from the bank, as stated
to rehabilitate his brothers firm
After the financial stringency which
followed these movements, Heinze
was unable to take over the stock
which he had deposited with Mr..
Gould and at a conference today it
again passed into Mr.. Gould's own
ership.
Up to the last moment allowed
him, Heinze struggled to meet his
obligations and so to retain his
banking interests. His failure was
chronicled in the following state
mont issued by Mr. Cromwell after a
conference with parties concerned:
"The Heinze stock in the Mer-
camille National bank has been ac-
quired by Mr. Edwin Gould in a
satisfactory arrangement. Mr.. F.
Aug. Heinze was given every posi-
BILE chance to pay for the stock, but
because of his inability to do so in
the time agreed upon, we have been
forced to take it over"
Later, Mr.. Cromwell added that
the Gould interests would assume
their proper place in the bank
board at the meeting on January IA
This implies, of course, that the So
called Heinze directors will then re-
tire.
Discussing, developments inform
ally Mr.. Cromwell said:
Now that Mr.. Heinze no longer
has anything to do with the Mer-
camille National bank in any official
capacity, we intend to begin to re-
construct the bank. 1t is now our
intention to proceed to regain the
ground that has been lost. 1t had
always been good, old, conserva-
tive institution, with an excellent
business and we believe that it will
recover within a short time under
the interests which now have con-
troll. There can be no more talk
about possible liquidation of the
bank"
As to what effect the change
might have on the possibility of
lawsuits involving the bank, Mr.
Cromwell was not prepared to ex-
press an opinion. 'fThese matters"
he said, "along with the matter of
Heinze's balance with the bank, will
have to be taken care of in the near
future"

SMELL REFUSES TO SET
HEARING IN THOMPSON CASE

Tacoma, March Judge Smell has
refused Will H. Thompson's petition
to set the case of his son Chester for
hearing. Young Thompson was &C
quilted of the murder of Judge Emory
of Seattle on ground of insanity and
was committed to the insane hospital
in Walla Walla prison, under an old
territorial statute.
Mr.. Thompson seeks the youths re-
lease under the Graves act, which pro-
vides for. the release of the criminal
insane upon their mental recovery,
but Judge Smell holds that to be I'm
possible because the act did not be-
come a law until after judgment was
passed on the prisoner. Mr.. Thomp-
son will apply to the supreme court
for writ of mandamus to compel
Judge Smell to set the case.
Prosecutor Kenneth Macintosh of
King county has said that if the re-
hearing is granted he will summon to
the witness stand all of the fifty or
sixty persons who testified that the
prisoner was insane. II he does this,
the case will occupy two months.

luton intsructing the attorney general
to institute certain suits to establish
the title of the United States to lands

sumed March 81.

BANK RECEIVER AFTER
GANG OF BIG FINANCIERS

New York, March 9.-Receiver Chas.
Hanna, of the National Bank of North
America, filed bill of complaint in a
suit in the United States circuit court
Saturday against the directors of the
suspended institution, in which he de-
mands that an inquiry be made into
the losses involved in certain large
financial transactions entered into be-
tween the bank and Charles w. Morse
and others, and that those directors
who were liable for the losses may
be directed to pay.
The suit is brought against Charles
w. Morse, John H. Flagler, William G.
Havemeyer, Alfred H. Curtis, A. H.
Barney and James w. Barney, as ex-
ecutors of Charles T. Barney, de-
ceased; John w. Gates, Charles M.
Schwab, Henry M. Chaplin, Jr., Robert
Thompson and Morgan G. O'Brien.
Mr. Hanna in his bill states that in
1906 the National Bank of North
America purchased from Charles w.
Morse 1000 shares of American Ice Sc
curities Company stock and that "the
real character OF this purchase was
concealed and covered by entering the
same on the books of the bank as a
loan to Leslie E. Whiting, secured by
the 1000 shares as collateral. securi-
ty."
Later, according to the bill of COM
plant, the stock was transferred to
two other loan accounts and the books
show that by the sale of part of this
collateral and the shrinkage of the re-
mainder of the security still held the
bank has suffered a loss of $263, 694,
less the value of 1000 shares of stock
still held as collateral.
Transactions of like character are
further cited by Mr.. Hanna in his bill
of complaint, in which he charges that
the defendants had knowledge of and
assented to these financial acts.

WHEAT KINGS At SCHOOL.
Growers at Garfield on Visit OF the
Demonstration Train.

SFOWSr8 1dTItStO OU Won " $50
Demonstration Train.
Garfield, Wash, March Thurs
day was a great day for Garfield, and,
in fact, the entire Palouse country,
through the tour of this district by
the o. r. & N. demonstration train,
which is touring the wheat belt under
the auspices of the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation Company and the Wash
ington State College. The train ar
rived at 11:15 a. m. and was met at
the station by half of the townspeople
and 300 farmers.
AS the train pulled in Senator Il. e.
McCroskey, the wheat king, boarded
it and extended an invitation to the
railway officials and college professors
to visit the opera house, where a lunch
was prepared for them. At the opera
house all were seated at the long Ia
bles, which fairly groaned under their
load of good things to eat. After
lunch there were speeches by, PROBES
sors Elliott, severance and Lawrence
of the state college, on the soil OF the
Palouse; it's natural fertility; losses
and how they occur, remedies and pre-
vention; how to improve the soils;
soil treatment; how to hold the moist
ure; how to kill the weeds; wheat
better seed; cleaning and grading;
old and new varieties; utilization OF
summer fallow; croys that may be
grown for feed, etc.
The purpose of this movement by
the railway company is to encourage
diversified farming through a contin
uous occupation of the land. The
train consisted of several coaches and
baggage car filled with improved
farming implements, samples of wheat
and samples of the various soils Of
the Inland Empire. The train is truly
farmers school on wheels. The PEG
pie of the entire Palouse are pleased
at the effort the railway company is
putting forth to assist the wheat grow
ers in getting a better understanding
of diversified farming.

CHINESE PRODUCT SAID TO
MENACE AMERICAN FLOUR

Mukden, March Japan has been
compelled to vacate or buy all of the
Russian banks throughout Manchuria
seized during the war, and consequent
ly has lost prestige with the Chinese.
At Hardin flour milled from Chinese
wheat is underselling Aemrican flour
and the American trade is threatened
The good. results of placing all of
Manchuria under one viceroy instead
of governing the country as formerly
are now fully apparent, The admins
tration is unified, simplified and con-
solidated. The commands of the vice.
roy are readily obeyed and foreign in
f1uence has been reduced so that for
eign encroachment is impossible. This
creates barrier against Russia and
suits Japan, but lifts the influence of
that nation.
The demands made by Japan have
not yet been settled, but the Chinese
government is becoming more concil
iatory concerning regulations in the
foreign settlements which have been
opened in various towns. New trains
of American style will be placed on
the South Manchurian railway be-
tween Dalny and Mukden in April,
making the service more efficient. The
grading of the n-Changchun rail-
way is beginning, in connection with
the Japanese enterprise.
American agricultural implements
are gradually finding market in Man
churia, which promises great possibili-
ties. The success of this trade in the
future would be assured by the impor-
tation of samples, showing their ef-
ficiency in the local field.
It is believed that the only effective
means of preserving the open door will
be the purchase by China of the South
Manchurian railway.

TO REVISE TARIFF
PLANS SAID TO HAVE BEEN
AGREED UPON BY REPUB-
LlcAN LEADERS.
Work Scheduled to Be Undertaken at
Special Session Immediately After
March Next-Success OF Demo-
Gratis Next Fall, 1t Is Said, Would
Compel Action Several Months
Earlier.

Washington, March 9.-Plans for
the revision of the tariff have been
agreed upon by the republican lead
ers, including Roosevelt, Speaker Can
non, Senator Beveridge and Represen-
tatives Payne, Dalzell and Sherman,
the three latter being members OF the
house ways and means committee,
who will frame the new law.
An extra session of congress will be
called Immediately after the expira-
ton of the present congress next
spring and a bill will be drafted re-
ducing some of the high schedules on
steel and iron and equalizing others.
If the democrats are successful in the
national election next fall President
Roosevelt will call congress immedi-
ately after the result is known, so that
the tariff can be revised by the repub-
licans.
Senator Beverage, who presented a
measure providing for a tariff COM
mission, had a conference with the
pT0SlU0uL SATURDAY. AdICI uC SOA-
ferred with Speaker Cannon and Rep
resentatives Payne, Dalzell and Sher-
man. 1t developed that the commits
sion plan is not acceptable, and it was
agreed that resolution shall be adopt
ed by the present congress directing
the secretaries of state, treasury, ag-
riculture, commerce and labor and the
director of the census to gather such
data as will be useful to congress in
revising the tariff.
Representative Sherman, with the
approval of Speaker Cannon, is cir
culating petition among members of
the house which requests the ways and
means committee to sit during the
summer recess for the purpose of
gathering data to aid the members in
framing a new tariff law. Many sig
natures have already been procured
and the committee will sit.
The agreement makes it certain that
tariff legislation will come next win
ter or spring.
