GREEKS BEARING GIFTS.
Steel Trust Offers to Make Donation
to Government.

Washington.-A representative of the
biggest trust in the United States call
ed at the war department today and
meekly asked Secretary Taft to accept
on behalf of the government, at a cost
of 81, a property on which the trust had
expended over $4,000, 600. William
Harrison Smith, representing Henry
Clay Friclk of the steel trust, made this
proposition today.
The steel trust has dug a channel,
erected piers and docks and otherwise
improved the water front in Michigan
City, Ind, facing on Lake Michigan.
Now it wants to turn the entire prop
erty over to the government so that .
port of entry may be established there,
a federal lighthouse built and the navi-
CATION laws extended to it. The steel
trust has big ore deposits in the neigh
borhood, and will be benefited by sur
rendering its costly improvements to
the government.

trouble in the left ear. -
The operation. which was not con

formed by DR.. Arthur B. Duel. the
ear specialist, who opened an abscess
in the middle ear. 1t was seemingly
wholly successful and, unless unex-
pected complications develop, a
prompt recovery is anticipated. Mr..
Edison, however, will be at the hos
pital for probably a week.
Mrs. Edison is at the hospital and

TO GUST CONGRESSMAN
CHARGES OF LiLLEY, CONNEcTi-
CUT, AROUSE DEMOCRATS
AND REPUBLICANS.
IS ASKED TO GIVE PROOF
Accusations Grow Out of Submarine
Inquiry Interview Given Out.
Committee Starts an
investigation.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Threats of a
resolution calling Representative Lii
ley of Connecticut before the bar OF
the house and asking for his expulsion
from that body unless he makes
good were heard Monday. They
come from the democratic side of the
house, but are concurred in as to sentl-
ment by republican members.
Mr.. Lilley has given out a denial
that he made certain statements &C
credited to him involving Representa-
tives Sherman, Griggs, Williams and
De Almond, but the newspaper CORE
spondents who wrote the first report
in which he was so quoted insist that
he did use the language credited to
him. and in this they claim corroborat-
ing testimony may be procured FROM
several members of the house, to
whom Lilley made similar, if not the
same, remarks.
The talk of an expulsion resolution
began Saturday morning among some
of those whose names were connected
with the original story, concerning Lii
ley's desire for an investigation of the
Electric Boat CO., which manufactures
submarine boats. MI. Lilley was told
that day by the committee on rules,
of which three members whose names
had been used in the published inter
view with LilIey are members, to
reduce his charges to writing and to
be more specific.
Advised by Speaker Cannon.
He got this advice from Speaker
Cannon. John Sharp Williams and d.
A. De Almond are democratic men,
bers of the committee whose names
were used. Representative Sherman
of New York is a republican member
of that committee.
1t was pointed out, Notwithstanding
the denial of MIR. Lilley, that he had
made some very broad and serious
charges and should be compelled to
make good" in the common language
of the members. Should such a reso-
luton against MI. Lilley be presented
and it was understood that Minority
Leader Williams would present it-a
strong combination would probably
support it.
Representative Sherman and Repre-
sentative Griggs We're chairman OF
their respective parties congressional
campaign committee in the last cam
paign and Mr.. LiIley IS alleged to have
said that they were both helped inan-
cially in their campaign by the boat
company. These gentlemen. and their
colleagues on the two committees
would undoubtedly be lined up in sup
port of such a resolution, as would Mr..
De Almond.

FIGHTING TAKAHASHl TALKS
Japan Too Poor to Buy the Philip
pine Islands.


New York.-Sakuyei Takahashi, one
OF the seven ~"ire-eating' professors OF
the Imperial University of Toxic, who
drafted the famous memoranda advis-
ing the emperor of Japan to make war
on Russia, is visiting New York, en-
route around the world on a mission of
peace. After passing four months in
the United States, during which he in
vestigated the immigration problem
and the conditions which were produc-
tive of the anti-Japanese feeling on the
Pacific coast, PIT. Takahashi contends
that wal between Japan and the United
States is an utter impossibility.
Japan stands ready, he asserts, to ex-
tend a royal welcome to the Pacific
fleet if that battleship armada will con-
tinue its cruise to the mikado's shores.
War talk, he adds, is but a passing
agitation, attempted by the jingo and
the demagogue.

the first place, we are o poor to buy
them just now. Then, too, if we could
