career Of DIR. Hill In Berlin promises
to be a brilliant one. 1t is alleged
that the objection was based prin-
cipally upon the belief of the Ger
man state officials that DR.. Hills
comparative poverty would prevent
him from maintaining an establish
ment in accordance with the lavish
precedent set by Ambassador Tower
DR.. Hill was until recently the
American minister to The Hague and
ever since his appointment to that
post has been highly popular in
European diplomatic circles. He was
selected to fill this important vacancy
for two reasons--first, because of his
rank in the world of literature and
diplomacy, and, second, because his
promotion would be in execution of
Secretary Roots cherished plan for
the application of civil service prin-
ciples in the diplomatic service.

The Twin Falls convention con-
venes Wednesday and will undoubt-
eddy prove one of the most interesting
ever held by the democratic party
because 1t will determine whether
the party is to stand on the principle
Of UNFOLDING the state constitution
or selling out to the Mormons with a
view to obtaining their political sup
port. That is the issue plainly put
which will be determined at the con-
vention. The defenders of the con-
stitution are in the majority on fair
count of the delegates elected, but
the Mormons have trumpet up a
number of contests and will unques-
tionably resort to every means, fair
or foul, to obtain control of the con-
vention, but we do not anticipate
success for them in their schemes to
capture the democratic party as they
have the republican.

WASHINGTON. June L. Six
prominent Washington attorneys
have been disbarred from practice
in the department OF the interior
after today. II Is alleged that they
sought out old soldiers or their
widows to whom land grants had not
been issued and informed them such
land could be had on application.
When the warrants were issued, the
lawyers advised the holders that the
land could be sold at a nominal
figure. In most cases the veterans
would agree. the land becoming the
property Of the lawyers, who sold
It at a large profit.
The lawyers disbarred are Thomas

BERLIN, June 1.--Charlemagne

clusion a diplomatic incident that for
a time threatened to result in i'll

a cordial reception into his new Office

recipient of a hearty greeting from

ments have attracted favorable men

to his appointment last March have

TRUST COMPANY PROsPERs.

Second and Third Payments Made to
DepOsitOrs.
NEW YORK, June Second and
third payments to depositors of the
Knickerbocker Trust company, due
June 26 and September 26 under the
resumption plan, were paid today
and II Is likely that the big financial
institution, which a few months ago
was called "a hopeless wreck" will
be able to pay it's depositors in full
within year.
When the Knickerbocker Trust
Company resumed business on March
90, it offered to pay 10 per cent. to
all depositors. but only portion of
these creditors withdrew their money.
The plan of resumption called for
the release of 80 per cent, of all de-
posits, for which depositors received
surplus certificates bearing per cent
interest, redeemable out of the earn
ings of the company, payment of the
remainder 10 per cent. to be distrib-
uted over two years and half Con-
ditions are now so hopeful and the
depositors are showing confidence in
the management that 1t is thought
possible that all payments can be
made within twelve months.

LAST RITES FOR CLINTON
Remains of Great Statesman Placed
In Tomb at Kingston.


KINGSTON, N. r., June In
tomb not fifty feet from the spot on
which he stood when he was inaug-
urated as the first governor OF New
York, the body of George Clinton,
one of the greatest of the statesman
Of the republics early days, has been
finally laid to sleep. Removed from
the grave in the national capital,
where the remains have rested since
Clinton's death in 1912, the body was
accorded a second great civic and
military burial here. Kingston was
the state capital of New York when
Clinton assumed the reins of govern
ment, and 1t was here that he began
the brilliant political career that end
ed while he was occupying the vice
presidential chair.
Today's ceremonies also marked
the 250th anniversary of the found
ing of Kingston and attracted thou
sands of former residents from other
cities and states. A great civic pa
rade, speechmaking and other fea-
lures were included in the program
whereby Kingston celebrated 1t ma
tai day and paid honor to its most
famous citizen.
While today's ceremonies were i'm
pressive. they we're no more SO than
at the first burial OF Clinton in Wash
ington, an account of which has been
secured from newspaper of that
day. The description of this first
rite is as follows:
"The mortal remains OF the illus
trious Vice-President George Clinton,
were inferred in the burying ground
near the Navy Yard, in the presence
of concourse greater than ever seen
in the Nations Capital. Shops were
shut, and an air OF general gloom
pervaded all ranks of society.
THE scene was awful and impress
sive, The martial parade, the glis-
tening arms and nodding plums of
military corps who preceded the
hearse, the solemn melody of martial
music which attuned all the hearts
to melancholy, the sable hearse. at
tended by eight venerable pallbeaF-
ers who partook of the tolls of
Revolution; the well-known carriage
OF the deceased--the Chief Magis-
trate of the nation mourning the loss
OF one of its noblest sons---the SEN
ate deploring the loss of revered
president! But why particularly
describe the lengthening train ?
Sufficient to say that the assem-
blage, mourners and interesting OBJ
jects, inspired feelings suited both to
the occasion. When Clinton descends
to the tomb of his ancestors 1t Is
lt that the whole nation bewail the
loss and history immortalize his
name. HallOwed be the ashes of the
honored dead. April 23, 1912"

porarily dropped from the payrolls
during the depression, and the Ely
