PARIS LAUGHS AT NINE. GOULD
Newspapers Poke Any Amount of Fun
at Her and mt Prince
HeIie.

PARIS. April 2,--Although Nine. Gould
before her departure from Paris for the
Cpited States, repeatedly denied to intimate
friends that she had any thought of marry
Ing Prince Helie De Sagan, the prince was
a welcome guest at her city and country
residence for months, and they often dined
and went TO the theater together. Nine
Gould has always been regarded as head
strong by her friends, and consequently
they would not be astonished if she per-
sisted in marrying the prince despite the
disastrous results of her marriage to
Count Boni De Castellane, and the present
opposition of her family.
Count Boni, who is cousin of the prince,
is represented as being furious at the con-
firmation of his suspicious and the Paris
newspapers naturally are having consider
able fun over the idea of Mime. Gould's re-
entry into the French aristocracy as the
Princess De Sagan with reduced fortune
of only 10000 year"
The Gil Bias is especially hilarious over
the princes alleged reply to an insinuation
that he was a fortune hunter, in which he
said; AT my age man only marries for
love"

field was present today when Mrs. Helen
Pierce Grey continued her story before the
senate committee on Indian affairs. relative

SOUTH DAKOTA REPUBLICANS
state Convention to BE Held at Huron
Will Bring Warning Fac
tions Together.

SIOUX FALLS. 8. d.. April 2.-(Special)
The interest of the politicians of South
Dakota now is centered in the republican
state convention, which will be held at
Huron on Tuesday of the coming week for
the election OF eight delegates to the re-
publican national convention in Chicago.
On the face of the returns the insurgent
republicans have from thirty to forty
majority in the convenli ion. and IL no con-
tests are instituted b she stalwart fac
tion, of Which United States Senator kit
tredge is the leader. they will have undis-
puted control of the convention from start
to finish and will elect eight members of
the insurgent faction to represent the re-
publicans of South Dakota at the Chicago
convention.
The fight between the South Dakota
factions will in no way jeopardize the in
terests of Secretary Taft so far as South
Dakota is concerned, for the reason that
both factions are committed to him, and
no matter which faction controls the state
convention, the delegates to the national
convention will be instructed to support
his candidacy for nomination to the office
of president of the United States
The only possibility of serious trouble in
the state convention between the insur-
gents and stalwsrts is in connection with
any attempt that might be made by the
stalwarts to contest enough delegations
from insurgent counties to give the stall
warts control of the temporary organiza-
ton. For some time rumors of contests
have been in the air. but thus far little
credenee has been placed in the reports

NEW YORK WANTS COMMISSION
Bill introduced by boverinR Only
One that Chamber OF Com
merce Wants.

NEW YORK. April 2.--None of the cur
rency legislation before congress. with the
exception of the Lowering bill. which pro-
vides for the appointment of commits
sion to investigate the currency and bank
ing systems of the United States, will
have the approval Of the New York Cham
Der of Commerce Formal decision to this
effect was made today when the chamber
adopted the report of its special commit
tee appointed at the March meeting of
the body TO investigate and report upon the
pending legislation. 1t is the belief of the
committee as expressed in its report that
there is little chance Of any currency
legislation being enacted at the present
session of the congress. After describing
the Aldrich bill as a measure which would
provide a highly taxed emergency cur
rehcy." and the Fowler bill as one which
would Operate to bring about immediate
instead of gradual substitution of credit
notes." the committee says they are so
antagonistic to each other that comprc-
hensive currency legislation at an earlier
date does not seem probable. These cir
cumstances point unmist akably to the i'm
perative need of further deliberation." says
the report Ito the discussion OF principles
and methods by means OF which such
principles may be applied to meet the
country's needs"
The committee report which was adopted
by the Chamber Of Commerce recommends
the enactment of a Law providing for the
appointment of commission to investigate
the currency and banking systems of the
United States ard of other leading COM
mercial nations and to report such meas
ures "as may be found necessary to place
our currency and banking system on a
sound basis, which Is absolutely essential
for the permanent welfare and progress
of the country"
During the discussion which preceded
the adoption of the currency committees
report, A. b. Hepburn, president of the
Chase National bank. and chairman of
the executive committee of the chamber
made spirited attack on the Aldrich
bill 1T looks as IL the president and the
senate were going to force it through If
they can," he declared. IL they do pass
It as a political measure II may prove a
boomerang Some of its provisions are
socialstic and communistic, and altogether
no worse preparation has ever been moved
in congress"

POLLARD OPPOSES MAcADAM
says ~ T. Too Expensive for Farning
Communities and House is
with Him.
From a staff correspondents }

WASHINGTON, April 2.-(Special Tele-
gram m)-Representative Pollard during the
closing hours of the debate on the agricul-
tursl bill spoke against the use Of money
by the bureau OF good roads for the con
struction of macadam roads in the agri-
cultural sections Of the country. The prop
osition of the committee is TO enable the
farmers OF the country to get some benefit
from the bureau OF good roads.
Mr.. Pollard, attacking an amendment Of
fered to tine bill. said:
''rhe purchase and use of machinery in
the construction OF country roads has been
used wholly for the construction of mac
sdem roads. / want to say that I repre-
sent one of the richest agricultural districts
in the United States, and l think / know
whereof I speak. | do not believe there is
a single farming community in any district
in the United States that can afford to
build macadam roads II costs all the way
from 5000 to $1,000 a mile to build these
macadam roads. The committee on agrl-
culture desires to prevent the use OF money
in the construction of these macadam roads,
so that the bureau of good roads can exert
it's energies to enable the farmers OF the
country TO take advantage OF other infor-
nation they are disseminating for the con-
SJructlon or roads tlat are within the reach
OF every farming community. no matter
whether Il is the richest or poorest agri-
cultural district. Only those communities
that are contiguous to city can afford
macadam roads, when they cost such a
great amount of money.
THE department has discovered that
sand clay roads or burnt clay roads can
be constructed and that they are applicable
to all great agricultural regions and only
cost from 500 to $500 mile, which is easily
within the reach of every community. Now
what the committee on agriculture wants
is that his money shall be introduce road
construction that is within the reach of
farmers and not permit the bureau to ex-
pend money in building macadam roads
for the benefit OF cities and towns"
Representative Pollards paragraph re-
latlng to the construction of roads of clay
or burnt clay in rural communities pre-
vailed and is in the agricultural bill as
passed today.
Representative Pollard leaves tomorrow
night for home upon private business.

MORE OF FORESTRY DISPUTE
California Delegation Divided on
Question of VerRcity About
PinchOt's Action.

WASHINGTON. April 2.--An echo of the
charge by Mr.. Smith of California, made
last Monday, that Clifford Pinchot, the
chief of the forestry bureau, had acted
improperly with reference to the water
rights of Owens river. California;, was
heard in the house today, when Mr. Nc
Lachlan of California rose to refute the
statements
The forestry bureau, he declared. had
been placed In a false light. He declared
that every member of the California dele
cation, except Messrs Needham, Smith and
Kahn, had written the president asking
that the reservation be made and that Mr.
Pinchot was acting i'm accordance with the
request and the demand of the people of
Los Angeles and the request and the de-
msnd OF the majority of the California
delegation. Mr. McLachlan explained that
when the matter was presented to the
president. Mr.. Kahn was abroad, and that
was why his name did not appear in con-
nection with IT,
Mr.. Smith denied that Mr.. McLachlan's s
statement was in accordance with the facts
The paper sent to the president, he de-
clared, contained no reference to any par
ticular tract and the signers were not led
to believe that it had reference to the
Owens river valley.
