MAKES SUCCESSION CLEAR.
Jenkins Bill Amending Constitution
on Order of Presidency.

Claiming that the measure would clear
up many questions not clearly defined by
the Constitution. Representative Jenkins
Of Wisconsin yesterday introduced a joint
resolution to submit a proposed amend
ment to the Constitution to the various
states for ratification The amendment
suggested states clearly that the Vice
President shall succeed to the presidency
if the President dies or becomes inca
pacitated before his term of Office ex-
pires.
Mr.. Jenkins contends that this provision
is not clearly stated in the Constitution.
On the ground that there would be no
one who could be inaugurated as chief
executive should the President-elect and
the Vice President-elect die before the
time set for the inaugural ceremonies. he
has included in the amendment a provi-
sion which would make the President pro
tempore of the Senate the rightful sue
cessor to the presidency At present the
law provides that the Secretary of State
shall succeed to the presidency II the
President and Vice President should be-
come incapacitated or meet with death.
AS the terms of the members of the cab
met expire on the 4th Of March. says Mr..
Jenkins there could be no successor from
that source.

POURENS CASE NOT ADVANCED
RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES SEEK
ING HIS EXTRADITION.
Present Evidence to Show That His
Acts Were Not Political, But
Criminal in Nature.

NEW YORK, February 21.-Prospects
Of an early disposition of the case of Jan
Janof Pouren, the refugee whom the
Russian authorities are trying to extra
dite, were seemingly not improved as the
outcome of hearing in the matter held
here today by United States Commissioner
Hitchcock. The Russian government was
recently given until April 1 to present
further evidence before the commissioner.
Today it's counsel submitted dispositions
taken by the judicial inquirer In Riga
province, Russia, which counsel believe
will establish their contention that the
offenses which Pouren is alleged to have
. committed-murder and arson-were per-
petrated with criminal intent and that his
defense of revolutionary activity is not a
valid one.
Counsel for Pouren objected to the adj
mission of the dispositions, and Commits
sioner Hitchcock, after hearing argu-
ment, reserved decision.
On behalf of the Russian government
Attorneys Frederic r. Coudert and John
P. Murray declared that if the state
ments were not allowed they would de-
mand the full time limit-up to April l.
in which to corroborate the criminality
which they claim the dispositions eStab-
lish.
On the other hand, Attorneys Pollock
and Prof. Isaac Hourwich. for Pouren.
announced their determination. if the de-
positions were allowed to stand, of bring
ing witnesses to rebut them. The defense
contended that the statements were made
| before judicial inqusitor, equivalent to
a public prosecutor and were therefore
| ex parte. The Russian government
! counsel asserted that the procedure in
| question was in accordance with the pro-
visions of the eXtradition treaty between
| the United States and Russia.

| take measures for the gradual suppression

for medicinal purposes Is held by almost
| all participating countries TO be a matter
! for prohibition or regulation, and that

| increasing stringency.
| 1t urges on those countries concerned

systems in view of other countries ex-
perience.

CONTEST FOR PEERAGE.
Over 100 Witnesses Summoned in
| the Sackville-West Case.

PARIS, February 27.-Over one hun
dred witnesses have been summoned to
appear in the case of Ernest Henri Jean
Baptste West, claimant to the Sackvilie
peerage and estates against Lionel Ed
ward Sackville- West, his nephew, To
whom the estates have passed. which
comes up for trial Monday. Ernest is
the son Of the late Lord SackvilIe, and
he was born at Arcachon, in the Gironde.
June a. 1859. His mother was Josephine
duran de Ortega, q Spanish dancer.
The case hinges upon the legitimacy
OF Ernest. No attempt will be made tn
deny that Lord Sackville lived with
Josephine de Ortega as his wife. and
that he formally legitimatized his children
by her. but Lionel will contend that the
dancer, In 1851, contracted a marriage
with a Spaniard named Olivia, and that
consequently Lord Sackville's legal recog-
milton of his children is nullified He will
produce in court copies of the register
of church in Madrid purporting to show
the marriage of Ernest's mother to OLIVIA
These copies were procured in 1900, and
the claim is made that the register was
tempered with in 1901.
The outcome of the case hangs upon
the validity of the marriage of 1851 and
this the court will have to decide.

The long fight of the discharged negro
soldiers OF the 25th Infantry for

the House by a vote of 210 to 1O1 passed
the Senate bill to that end.
Violent opposition was encountered from
members OF the Texas delegation and
others, but, as the vote shows, their eff
forts were unavailing.
