CRUISER ALBANY ORDERED
TO SOUTH AMERICAN WATERS
BY Associated Press.

SAN. FRANCISCO, April 17.-Rush
orders were received from Washington
today by Commander Henry Thomas
Nacey of the cruiser Albany to take
on coal and supplies for a cruise of
two months and a half duration and a
full store of ammunition, and proceed
at once to Salina Cruz, there to await
scaled orders.
The reason for the sudden departure
o. the warship for southern waters is
not known, but it is surmised here that
it is in relation to threatened trouble
| between the South American republics.
Commander Mayo was asked tonight
| If he would convey Ambassador En-
rique c. Creel of Mexico from Salina
| Cruz to the ports of the republics to
| tie south, on a peace mission, but re-
fused to say. 1t was also suggested
that the supplies of arms and ammuni-
tion he will take may be unloaded at
Panama and shipped across the 18TH
mus by rail, to be used in case of
trouble in Venezuela, but Commander
Mayo had no information to give out
on this suggestion.
The Albany is now at Mare island,
taking on coal and supplies as rapidly
as they can be placed abroad, and her
commander expects to take her to sea
tomorrow morning. All short term
men aboard the cruiser are being trans
ferred, and men whose service will con-
tinue for three months or more sub
stituted.

ALDRICII BILL IS
TABLED BY HOUSE
HITCH COMES IN CURRENCY
LEGISLATION
VREELAND's MEASURE MAY BE
SUBSTITUTED
Some Definite Action May Be Taken
in Joint conference-Fowler's
Plan Also viii Be
Discussed
By Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE house
committee on banking and currency
today voted unanimously to taple tne
Aldrich financial BILL 1t also was oe-
cided to give a hearing tomorrow 10
Representative Vreeland or New 1orh,
who recently introduced financial Dill
which is looked upon as supslltule
for the Aldrich measure.
The discussion was brief. The only
point debated was as to whether or not
the committee should make formal
report giving it's reason to the mouse
for its unfavorable action, and the con-
clusion finally was reached that no
reasons should be given. Consequently,
the committees report will be a mere
statement of the action of the commit
fee. OF the nineteen members of the
committee, thirteen were present at to-
days meeting. They included Hayes
of California, Gillispie of Texas and
Chairman Fowler.
The yreeland bill, introduced in the
house last week as a substitute for the
Aldrich bill, and which, it is under
stood. is to be considered at a Repub-
lican caucus t., be held next week, was
not considered at today's meeting OF
the committee. 1t was decided, how
ever. to live a hearing tomorrow to
Representative Vreeland. The commits
sion idea apparently has many friends
in the committee. A hearing will also
be granted to Rel rejentative Lowering
on his bill to incorporate the Sovereign
Trust Company of America.
Two other measures will receive con-
sideration at this meeting, the Dalzell
bill, making it a misdemeanor to cir
culate false reports regarding national
banks, and the Freedman bank bill re-
Gently passed by the senate.
The tabling of the Aldrich bill VIII
result in currency legislation being
perfected by the conferees of the two
branches of congress if the house car
ries out the probable program of now
passing the Vreeland bill. In that
event the house measure would come
to the senate after all, the enacting
clause would be struck out and the pro-
visions of the Lldricl- bill substituted.
The effect would be to put both the
Vreeland and Aldrich bills into the
conference, and from them a currency
bill could be possibly agreed upon.
Representative Vreeland is not
member of the house committee on
banking and currency, yet it is ex-
pected that If his bill is passed he will
be one of the house conferees.

The fashion of trimming cloth or silk
with lace has been reversed, and now 1t
is lace which forms the main portion
of the prettiest waists. while the ma
terial adorns 1t. Here is a blouse which
displays the style very ,tttractively, the
waist proper being of allover filet lace
and the vest and outer portion of silk.
The style of the waist is quite unique
and will prove becoming to almost any
type of wearer. Both long and short
sleeves are provided for in the pattern,
the shorter ones being the more attrac-
tive because of the natty little cuff
bands which finish them. This model
would look very smart developed in the
new mirage silk or one of the soft light

Criticised
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE atti-
tude of Emperor William and the Ber-
lin court toward David Jayne Hill,
named by the president to be ambassa-
dor at thai capital. was the subject of
comment in the house today during
consideration of the diplomatic aud
consular bill.
Both Mr.. Perkins of New York and
Mr.. Slayden of Texas expressed the
opinion that the objection TO Mr.. Hill
was due to no other cause than that
Mr.. Hill was financially unable to
maintain a certain standard of social
representation. Each of them con-
demned the practice which they said
had grown up of selecting men of great
wealth to be the nations diplomatic
representatives abroad, and urged as a
means of counteracting the effect of
such policy the housing of our diplo-
mats in buildings owned by the gov
ernment, and the allowance to them Of
salaries sufficient to enable them to
maintain the dignity of their high

which were relatively scarce. Farmers
are evidently of THE opinion that at
the present price of corn 1t pays best
to feed the best steers they can get,
feeling that such animals will give
them a better return for the invest
ment than the cheaper grades. Most OF
the demand now is from nearby feed

THE other cattle in this department are
about steady with the common light
stockers, slow and hard to sell Eastern
demand has not been up to the usual
standard for the thin light StockerS
lately, and fewer have been sent in that
direction than usual. 1t is plain that the
high price of feed is having a serious
effect on the trade in that department.
A large percentage of the receipts TINS
week consisted of material below the
medium class Much of it was sold at
S2.75mS.25, and some scalawag steers
went as low as $3.50. Top for selected

which is the highest in several months.
A good many strong weight feeders
sold at S425@450. The advance in the
price of fat steers was good tonic tor
the feeder demand.

The fury Of the chemical world is
the element fuorine, although, strange
~ enough, it exists peacefully in COM
pany with calcium in t1uorspar and
also in few other compounds.
Although this element was known
and named good while ago it long
resisted the efforts of chemists to iso
late it-that is, prepare it in pure
state, unmixed chemically with other
substances-for the instant the com
pound containing it was torn apart
the free fuorine attacked and combined
with whatever substance composed the
vessel containing it. 1t was finally
isolated by the great French chemist
Moissan.
Fluorine is rabid gas that nothing
can resist. 1t combines with all met
ais, explosively with some, or If they
are already combined with some other
nonmetallic element it mercilessly
tears them away from it and takes
them to itself.
