finance disputed the statement of the
senator from Utah that the provis-
ion had been recognized by the COM
mittee. He characterized 1t as an
other Bogus committee amend
ment" stating that the minority
members had never seen it until 1t
had been completed, when it was
shown to them. After considerable
discussion Senator Aldrich agreed
to Withdraw the amendment and to
have it considered tomorrow by the
full committee membership before
reporting it to the senate.
Among amendments to the tariff
agreed to today was one exemptlng
labor organizations, fraternal bene-
ficiary societies, and organizations
exclusively for charitable and edu-
caticnal purposes, from the opposl-
lions of the corporation tax pro-
Visions Amendments were adopted
specifying Canada and the West
Indies among contiguous countries
included in the discriminating duty
of ten per cent advalorem on i'm
ports not made in those countries
and introduced into the United
States and also extending from two
to six months in any one year the
period during which domestic built
foreign vessels may engage in the
coastwise trade. Another amend
ment relieves the United States
from all reciprocal obligations to-
ward foreign nations in the matter
of tonnage dues. Senator Curtis
gave notice of an amendment he will
propose to the bill providing for a
countervailing duty on oil imported
into the United States from coun-
tries which impose a duty on Am
erican oil. ka~! .-sr.: - .ssIy ID W

HOMESTEADERS PROTESTING

Claim Proofs of Residence Are Held
Up in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Nc
Cumber to Take the Matter Up
Promises More Haste Will BE Made
in Work.
Washington, July 5.-Protests
from homesteaders in North Dawota
against the methods followed by spe-
cial agents Of the land Office, are to
be the subject of personal investi-
cation by Commissioner Fred Den
nett of the general land Office. Com
missioner bennett will leave Wash
ington shortly for the northwest,
and will spend some time in the
North Dakota land districts.
Hundreds of protests have come
from North Dakota homesteaders,
that after they had offered final
proof on their lands, the proofs are
held up for a long period on the I'M
supported objection of the land Office
agents. w. D. Wade is chief inspec-
tor in North Dakota.e The settlers
claim that their cases should be dis
posed of when they offer final prof
of compliance with the law. On the
contrary, they say that they are
forced to wait until the inspectors
make a denomination of the facts
which sometimes causes delay Of
year or so.
Commissioner bennett is under
stood to have issued orders that the
cases should be cleaned up as rap
idly as possible, but the complaints
still come to Washington. Senator
McCumber has taken the matter up
and Commissioner bennett has
agreed to make thorough inquiry
into the situation.

PATHS EARNINGS.
Tho shrewd Financial Methods Of the
Musical Miracle ~

20 8 ..Ea
Adelina' Patti never suffered from
the financial timidity Of Jenny Lind.
Not only was she supreme vocalist;
but, as Colonel Mapleson remarked,
mo one ever approached her in the art
Of obtaining. from a manager the
greatest possible, sum he could by any
possibility, contrive to pay" But the
musical miracle was; tho spoiled dar-
ling Of her day, and she never failed
to obtain exactly what she wanted.
She was first engaged in London in
1861 by, Mapleson. to sing four, nights
ION approval and in case Of success
to obtain f40. a. week. This contract
was not fulfilled, however, for, being
hard pressed financially. she had Dor
her receipt proved practically con-
tract. This was the beginning Of
career so dazzling that its successive
steps are simply a series Of increasing
banknotes. In 1872 she obtained in
London 200 guineas a night, since she
insisted on having more than Christine
Nilsson, who was receiving f2O0. She
sang twice a week. Ten years later
she was given $4,000 night! Her ia
nous contract to sing in America pro-
vided that the money should be paid
her at 2 o'clock on the day she sang;
also a drawing room and sleeping car
to be especially built for her, with
conservatory, fernery, etc. Further,
there was to be deposited to her credit
$4,000 for payment Of the last ten
performances-Patti's favorite device.
She thus received about twenty times
what Mario and Grisi got.
Her private car incidentally cost
100000 and contained a silver bath
and gold keys to the doors, to- say
nothing Of a $4,000 piano. Patti gave
to the manager only her voice and her
costumes. Her drawing capacity justi-
fed this. Lucia" as an example, was
sung to an average Of $4,000. tTravi-
alta" drew more, since she sang more
notes. 1t was a frequent occurrence
among the poorer music lovers to buy
club ticket and each take turns at
hearing her for twenty minutes. If
one overstayed his time he paid for
the entire ticket. Some mathematician
computed by dividing the number Of
notes sung by the sum paid that in
"Semiramide" Patti received 425s cents
for each note. This was found to be
just ITO cents note more than Ros-
sini got for writing the whole opera
George Middleton in Bookman.

A BEAR STORY.

Tho Picture the Amateur Photographer
Did Not Wait to Get.
The best bear story I ever heard,
states a writer in Recreation, was told
me by an amateur prospector, who
might have stepped out Of a comic
weekly. He had made q big trip in
the Siskiyous with no weapon save
nickel plated miners pick.
"Have you seen much game?" I
asked.
"None at ALL" he replied in his dry
falsetto. 49,.
mo bearv' exclaimed, knowing he
had come right through Bear Camp.
"Oh, yes he returned, "quite so.
Now that You mention It / dare say
that Is what It was. Didn't occur to
me, you know. i was so very angry,
don't You see, { took no pains to iden-
tify the brute" # .za35$@
"Why, what did he do toyouT
"What did he do? Why, nothing, of
course. You see, the little heggar ran
and climbed up stump. And he
wouldn't come down SO I2could obtain
decent photograph Of him. Sat up
there half day, fifty feet from the
ground. Then his. legs got tired hold
ing on, imagine, for he started in to
squeal. And, do you know, the brute
must have given me away, for pretty
soon his mother, suppose . 1t was,
came hurrying up, and had to clear
out. Four times as big as he, she was,
I assure you" >. n, ID @@$& ~.
"Did you run?' asked, laughing.
"Oh, not at all; not at all, {" said he.
"But still thought it best not to re-
main" He paused and stroked his
stubbly chin reflectively.
~ ''By Jove," said he finally, chow
very interesting! should have thought
to photograph the old one. She looked
quite savage, don't you know
"such a picture would have been
unique, to say the least" I replied.
"Quite So" said he. >a> 3sssz s.5>3

OF 1909.
Removal of Tax Has Not Proved to
Be. of Any Practical Benefit to the
Farmers-WiII Not Take Place OF
Gasoline as Motive Power as Was
Pred cted.

g Washington, July 6.-Seventeen in
spectors and four revenue agents on
the denatured alcohol rolls of the
internal revenue bureau have been
dismissed because their services are
no longer needed. 1t is explained
that the expectation that denatured
alcohol would make rapid strides in
supplanting gasoline as a motive
power for small farm engines, auto
mobiles, etc., has been disappoint-
ing, first, becauCe the engines now in
use are not adapted to alcohol, and
second, because of its comparatively
high cost of manufacture by present
methods So far as any direct bene-
fit to the farmers of the country is
concerned, the removal of the tax
of $1.1O a gallon on denatured alco-
hol has been up to this time incon-
sequential. .:
The total production of dehatured
alcohol in the United States during
1908, was 3,321,451 wine gallons and
in 1909, about 1880 gallons.

Why She Was Right.

Haydn had a peculiar way Of deter:
mining the time in which piece Of
music should be sung. On one occasion
a female singer in high esteem at
court had been appointed to sing one
Of Haydn's compositions. At the re-.
hearsal she and the conductor differed.
as to the time of the music. The mat.
ter was to be settled by referring it to
Haydn himself. When called on to de.
eide he asked the conductor. If the
singer was handsome. y :.
very" was the reply, 'and spe-
cial favorite with the prince" r. i.
: "Then she Is right" replied Haydn.

'eThe African mosquitoes intoxicate

I'm the Nyassa country I'd always
start getting ready for bed and the

set up my mosquito net with the ut

with valises and boxes. I'd light in

with q bitter smoke that all insects
are supposed to loathe..
FINALLY I'd get in myself. I'd
smoke big pipes OF the black native to-
bacco, and I'd long miserably In that
hot, smoky atmosphere for the dawn
despite all my precautions quite
200 or 800 mosquitoes would get in

CRIMINAL LAW REFORM usGEo.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Apropos of the celebrated murder
trial just concluded I'm France, much dis
cussion and adverse criticism has been in
dulged In on this side of the Atlantic. and
from some editorials IN our local papers
one would be led 10 believe that the French
administration Of criminal law should be
condemned as outrageous and unjust.
As matter OF fact, the French criminal
law and its administration protect the in
nocent more fully than here in the State
OF New York
The French method is direct. while ours
Is the opposite. suspected person here
Is arrested and Immediately taken to Police
Headquarters, where the chief OF detAc-
tives and his aids administer the so-caIled
third degree which Is nothing less than
rigid and brutal examination. a star
chamber proceeding. where the unfortunate
victim is helpless, being without counsel
and ignorant of his constitutional privt-
leges. Let us reform our laws and It's sd-
ministration before condemning the French
method
The judges in France, as in most Euro
pean countries. are appointed and have
tenure of office for life, and II our Judges
were likewise appointed our judicial admin
istration would be elevated. as II should be.
and our people would have more respect
for the law and slso would develon our
moral sense. Now We see the laws openIv
violated and totally diSresarded, especially
In reference 10 sunday liquor selling, and it
follows that the evasion or violation OF
even one law inevitably produces disregard
for law generally. In France laws are
surely more respected and not broken so
often. But when the law is violated. pun
ishment follows promptly and surely. as in
England and in most European countries.
and with celebrity unknown 70 US In New
York.
From the point of view OF a layman who
