RUSSIA INVOLVED
IN HUGE SCANDAL
Chief of Cars Secret Police, Deco.
rated With Legion of Honor, a
Traitor, Clemenceau Says.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 10 A dip
lomatic cincident that threatens TO as
sumo grave proportions is growing out
or the announcement OF Prime Min-
lister Clemenceau, of France, that Gen.
Mlcnael Landesen, chief CT the Ras-
sian foreign secret service with head
quarters In Paris, Is really a Russian
anarchist. Hekkelmann, who was SEN
fenced TO a term OF Imprisonment for
completely In the plot 10 kill Gar
Alexander during his visit to France
in 1890.
The French officials haxe taken the
attitude that Landesen Is another
Azef-a revolutionist-turned police
sgent-and that the Russian govern
nent retained him in Paris for the
purpose OF catching his own former
associates. The French authorities
have taken the matter very seriously
and the French ambassador here either
already has or is about TO make q
formal demand on the Russian for
eign Office for an explanation. The
points particularly pressed In this de-
mand will be the fact that Russia per-
suaded France TO bestow knishthood
upon Landesen, a traitor and spy, and
of Honor, the mark OF respect most
dear to the French nation.
The foreign office is much perturbed
over the affair as 1t now appears very
likely that the scandal will proven.
the intended visit of the car to France
during his European tour II will At
east prevent any official reception OF
Nicholas by President Falleries.
The affair may when fully develop
ed, involve England in the trouble,
as revelations In Paris point to the
fact that the Russia.English incident
off Dogger Banks, when Admiral Ro-
jestvenskys feet fired upon feet Of
British trawlers, was due TO bogus re-
ports circulated by Landesen, who was
aboar dthe Esmeralda OF the Russian
feet and who originated the rumor
that japanese torpedo boats were i'll
the North Sea.
Landesen is understood TO be living
privately in London.
PARIS, July 10.-Russian foreign Sc
cret police will probably be expelled
from France as a result of the dis
covery that Gen. Landesen. chief OF
the service. Is former anarchist.
feelluS runs very ulku ONcl tic "a
posture made by Minister Clemenceau
and many are agitating for the i'm
mediate expulsion OF the Russian po'
lice agents. 1t Is understood that the
government will take up the matter in
the chamber of deputies just as soon
as an answer is made by Russia To
the demand for an explanation OF the
affair which is being framed by the
French ambassador at st. Petersburg.
/, The feature OF the incident. which
has aroused French people particularly
lis that Landesen. who Is a chevalier
OF the Legion Of Honor, was to have
been an officer of the Legion during
the coming visit of the car. The
cars visit Is now matter entirely
of speculation and it is generally be-
lieved that he will not come to France.

DON'T KNOW TAX RATE.
Some Property Owners Send Checks
Signed In Blank.

That many Detroit taxpayers are
not familiar with the city's tax rate Is

In one or two cases sums In excess

amount OF money received so far this
year is more than was received for
the same period last year. but this Is

penditures, of which there is one for
each department.

Payne said:
For the first time in my recollec-
ton, president in wise and well chos-
en- words, had pointed out the neces-
sity of economy in expenditures in the
various government departments"
r. When Mr. Fitzgerald of New York
interrupted Mr.. Payne to question him
about the amendment the republican
leader sharply exclaimed.
THE gentleman from New York
can never get rid of the idea that some
one is trying to hoodwink somebody"
Il ain sorry my colleague can never
get rid of the idea of trying to befOoZle
somebody with his resolutions" was
Mr.. Fitzgerald's retort. The amend
ment and the resolutions were adopt
ed.
Warning of the nations unprepared
ness for war was given by Represent
alive Hobson of Alabama in an ex-
tended speech in favor of a more lib
eral naval policy. His colleague, Mr..
Richardson, made a speech of more
than an hours duration in advocacy
Of a liberal waterways policy, partic-
ularly affecting the Mississippi river
and it's tributaries.
Representative McDermott of Him
dis, spoke briefly in favor of free wood
pulp.

ments have unwarrantably tyrannized
over citizens, invading the constitu-
tionally guaranteed right of free as

commend that committees be appoin-
ted by this conference to wait upon
the governors of states and such 9TH
CT official representatives of the coun-
ties and municipalities as are in con-
troll where the United States Steel
Corporation has plants located, for the
purpose Of presenting to these officials
the great wrongs inflicted upon the
people of these communities, and that
the committees demand an investi-
cation, and, where charges made are
substantiated by evidence, the officers
responsible therefor be removed and
the wrongs Immediately righted.
I'VE appeal to al liberty-loving
Americans for their moral and finan-
cial support.

HOG PRICES SOAR
IN WA[LA WALLA
HIGHEST PRICES IN YEARS BE-
ING OFFERED FOR HOGS
GENERAL SHORTAGE.
Eight Cents Pound Live Weiqht Be-
ing Offered-Farmers Profit
Feeding Dollar Wheat.

The highest price known for years
is being offered for fat hogs at Walla
Walla at present. The Walla Walla
Meat and Cold Storage company is
paying eight cents per pound, live
weight and other dealers in like pro-
portion.
When interviewed Manager Con-
way said that there was apparently
large shortage of hogs all over the
country as Wei as an unusual demand
for hog products, and stated that at
the prevailing prices hog products
were being sold wholesale and retail
from Is to 20 per cent too low.
But that the price offs cents per Id.
offered now for fat hogs ought to
make it profitable for farmers to feed
$1.OO wheat.
Mr.. Conway stated that the farmers
of this valley have been getting about
IL cent per lb. more for the hogs sold
at Walla Walla, than farmers in
Eastern Oregon, Idaho and the Palouse
country and that such a market ought
to be an incentive to farmers to raise
at least enough hogs to keep the pack
ing house going The farmers should
realize that fat hog represents ready
money as he can be sold for spot cash
On delivery at the packing house.
He also says that a great many
farmers are in the habit of dressing
hogs on the farm which are brought
to town and generally sold for 1 to 2
cents per h. below what they woulG
bring relatively alive-at the present
price offered Is cents per lb) dressed
hogs would be worth II cents per Id.
without figuring anything for labor
and expense of dressing.
The Walla Walla Meat company
does not buy dressed hogs as they pre-
fer to slaughter all animals at the
packing house subject to government
inspection, thereby giving the public
the benefit of Uncle Sans service.
1t has been found after two years
of operation under federal inspection
that the percentage Of diseased ami
mails in this valley is alarmingly nigh
compared with the general average for
the United States and rigid inspec-
ton is essential
