Speaking Of the agitation for a
greater navy, Mr.. Borah said that if
more ships must be built, they should
be built by the wealth of the nation.
The constant preparation for war
justified and demanded an income tax
just as much as the preparation for
war did in other days, was his con-
tention. He said he did not criticise
at this time the necessity of building
ships or enlarging the army, but
claimed that this program could not
be continued by tax on consumption.

Held the Hepburn Law

PREVENTS RAILROADS FROM
CARRYING OWN PRODUCTS
Law Was Aimed at the Anthracite
Railroads Which Own the Mines and
Control the Supply Shipped So as
to Fix Prices.

Washington, May 3.-That the
commodities clause" of the interstate
commerce act of 1906, known as the
Hepburn railroad rate law, is con-
stitutional was today in effect de-
clared by the United States supreme
court. The decision was announced
by Justice White. The court reversed
and remained the decision of the
United States circuit court, but the
only directions were to enforce and
apply the statute as it is now con-
strued. Briefly summarized, the de-
cision of the supreme court holds that
the law to be constitutional but it
does not concede the contentious of
the government as to its scope. An
especial exception was as to the
ownership of stock in different cor
porations which it was held did not
constitute such owenrship as would
prohibit transportation under the
terms of the law. 1t was also held
that the ownership Of the commodity
applied only to the time of transporta-
tion. If before transporting It, the
railroad company has. in good faith,
parted with the commodity. it may
carry it. The principal point of the
decision was in relation to railroads
holding the stock of subordinate COM
panies. and on that important point
the finding was favorable to the roads.
Justice Harlan dissented on the stock
feature but otherwise the decision
was unanimous,

ELDER WARD TA[]kS,;s
. OF RECENT MURDER
Claims That Certain Man Had
Written Daughter Threat
ening Letters

Winnipeg. May 3.-That his daugh-
ter. Mrs. Lewis James, who was mur-
dered in her home ON Dominion street
on Thursday, April %. was the owner
of house which she has not made
over to her husband; that MIR. James
had never locked after his wife's
property; that Mrs. James had been
engaged to marry man whom she
had stated was of very jealous dis
position. These were the statements
by j. S. Ward, Of Gladstone, Man.,
when interviewed at the Winnipeg
general hospital where he is pa
tient.
Mr.. Ward, who is a pleasant old
gentleman, with white eyebrows and
fine blue eyes. first asked for a cor
rection of the statement that his
daughter had left her parents while
they were living in Emerson. He
stated that he came to this country
from North Dakota ten years ago, and
had been living in Gladstone ever
since. About six years ago, Mrs.
James. then Miss Louise Ward, came
to Winnipeg to help her aunt. Mrs.
I4avery, who was ill. Later she Sc
cured position in other establish
ments and, when Mr.. James met her,
was waitress in the Arlington din
ingroom.
Prior to that, while employed at a
boarding house, she had met a man
who worked for firm in the city,
This man, Mr.. Ward said, became
very much attached to her, and was of
a very jealous disposition; so much so
that he became furious one afternoon
when Miss Ward went, in the COM
pany of her mother, to visit her aunt.
Mrs. Lavery. The outcome Of this in
cident was, he said, that his daughter
broke off the engagement with this
man. who afterwards went to Chicago
and thence to Seattle. He was not in
Seattle, however, a year ago. Mr..
Ward said his daughter had, many
times, in her letters to her parents,
spoken of the extreme jealousy of
this man.
Mrs. James, her father says. had
quite little bit Of property in town,
and was the owner Of house which
was at present rented advantageously.
This property was entirely her own.
bought with money that she had saw
ed during her six years residence in
the city. 1t belonged to her, the
father states at the time Of the mur-
der, she having never made it over to
her husband. Mr.. Ward says he had
given her much sound paternal ad-
vice. before she left home, about in
vesting her savings we'll and she had
apparently profited thereby.

Fifty men are now digging away

BURIED TREASURE
Money Taken by Ascending British
Paynluster Being Dug for.

Philadelphia, May 3.-Treasure
seekers have appeared at the gates
of Fort Ticonderoga, which is being
rebuilt and restored by Mrs. Stephen
H. P. Pell, of this city, and are watch
ing eagerly while workingmen are
digging for chests OF gold.
Advices received here state that
the quest is now under way and that
a company Of nine men from Cleve-
land, Ohio, who have a mysterious
romantic quest.
They appeared at "Old Fort IT,"
two days ago, saying they had reason
to believe that money and valuable
property belonging to relative OF
theirs who was active in the war of
the revolution, was buried near the
place. The map they had of the loca-
tion was prepared on lines similar to
the cipher directions which were used
by Edgar Allan Poe in his inimitable
story of "The Gold Bug" There was
no skull on high limb through which
bullet might be dropped, but there
were mysterious measurements cal
culated from the bastions of the ven-
cradle defense which Ethan Allen
took in the name Of the Continental
Congress. The spot where the syndi-
cate Of nine think treasure is to be
unearthed is beyond the fortification,
but within the old French lines and
not far removed from the shore OF
Lake Champlain.
Excavation rights were not granted
to the treasure seekers. although they
said they sought to dig only small
hole. After some consultations by
telegraph. however. 1t was decided to
let the quest proceed in the spot
indicated. the work being done by
employees of Mr.. Pell. The question
of the disposition to be made of any
relics or treasure is to be deferred
until the results of the present search
are ascertained.
Alfred c. Bosom. an architect of
this city, who has charge OF the work
of restoration. when seen, said he had
not been able to learn to whom the
supposed treasure belonged. as the
men from Cleveland had not given
any very definite information on the
subject.
There was paymaster with the
army of General Burgoyne." said he,
