Exposition Buildings Completed.

Seattle Feb. 22.-If the present rate of progress be maintained, and there is no intention that it shall be other- wise, the Alaska Yukon-Pacific Ex- position can be opened, complete in every detail, by May l, one month in advance of the day fixed by the direc- tors of Seattle's very biggest event.
 With the exception of the govern ment and Canadian buildings, all of the principal structures Uf the expo sition are completed and leady for the installation of exhibits. The Agricul- ture and Manufactures palaces have been finished for months. The mag nificent Auditorium is ready for use, with its thousands of seats in place. The Fine Arts Palace is ready to re- ceive the art treasures which will crowd it during the Fair and the Ma chinery Building was long ago added to the completed list. The Forestry building. which with it's essential con- struction of unsawed fir logs, is not complete, but is so far along that a clear idea of its imposing proportions is 10 be had. All four of these last named buildings are permanent struc- lures which will revert to the Uni versity of Washington at the end of the big fair.
 Of the four government buildings that for the Philippines is the farthest advanced, although all of the others are going up so rapidly that their growth is evident over night.
 Oregon was first to complete state building and California made close second. Both buildings are remark able for their beauty, the Commission CTS from both states having been lav- ish in their expenditures for architec- tural elegance. So well along with its work is Oregon, in fact, that its ex- hibit is already being installed and full fiedged cold storage plant in the basement is keeping fresh tons upon tons of Or egon fruits which are to be made part of the sister states show.
 William Hutchison, Commissioner of Exl osition for the Dominion of Canada, has recently arrived from London, where he had charge of Can ada's exhibit at the Franco British ex- position, just closed. The same ex- hibit is now en route to Seattle and Canada's handsome building will be reaoy for it when it arrives. The De- minion appropriates lO0,0OOS for build ing and exhibit and as the expense of collecting the exhibit has already been cared for, the major portion of the appropriation is going into the building. Commissioner Hutchinson will remain in Seattle during the con- struction of the building and for the greater part of the exposition period.
 The electric installation is practice ally complete: the water and sewer systems are finished and the street and boulevard paving is quite up to the rest of the work. The landscaping and formal gardens are rapidly taking form and already an idea is to be had of their summer magniticence.

EUROPE REFUSING
CHRISTMAS STAMPS
Postmaster Mcdonald Receives In.
struCtions from Department
at Washington.

Christmas stamps are not rs popular
in other countries as they are in the
United States and the result is that
parcels bearing them will not be ad-
mitted to the mails. The United States
Postoffice department has issued an or
der to the postmasters requiring them
10 look carefully over such mail as IS
to go out of this country and to send
it back to the sender if there is any
question about its being received at
the other end. GrGeat Britain, Orangs
River colong and Rhodesia, in the
Transvaal, have notified the world that
they will not accept parcels or let
tiers bearing Christmas stamps, and
Germany states that if any such
stamps are on parcels they must be on
the back or the parcels will be refused.
The reason for these orders is that the
foreign postmasters would not under
stand that the Christmas stamps are

Through with Jury.
With the settlement of the Parker
Smith damage suit outside of court
yesterday afternoon the jury which
was hearing the case finished it's work
considerably ahead of scheduled time
and as there will be no petit jury 30
report for several weeks it left the
court without jury. Judge Graves
decided therefore to devote the time
between now and the first Monday in
January to hearing motions and de-
murrers in cases that have already
gone to a verdict He also intends 70
hold meeting of the bar to plan
some means of cutting off number of
the cases now on the docket and
which will probably never come TO
trial. There are some cases on the
docket which have been there for
years and in which one or another of
the principals have died. These cases
have to be kept on the docket until
disposed of and the only way to dis
pose of them Is to set a time for try
ing them or else have them settled
out of court.

STOPS PURDY's JOB
WHEN ROOSEVELT STEPPED OUT
OF OFFICE, JUDGE FOLLOWED.
t Is An Interesting Situation; No
One Knows What President Taft
Will Do; Senator Nelson Insists
That w. E. Hale Should Be Fa-
vorcd With the Appointment.

ST. Paul, March J.Judgc Milton d.
Purdy of the United States district
and circuit court ceased to exist Off
, cally at twelve o'clock Wednesday
night That was his Interpretation of
the, statute, and yesterday, morning
Judge Fage Morris was OH the bench
in Minneapolis, having come down from
Duluth to take up the cases on the
docket.
1t was thought by some who have
been watching the course of events
in the Roosevelt Nelson judgeship dis
agreement, that Judge Purdy would
sit until noon yesterday, or until Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt officially became pri
vate citizen, but the jurist could find
no half day provision in the statute,
and formally left the bench at mid
night.
What Will Taft Do2
Now there is an interesting situa
ton. No one knows what President
Taft will do in nominating Judge Pur-
dy's successor. 1t is an open secret
that the appointment of Judge Purdy
was personal one of President Roosc-
Welt, who last spring ignored the rec
ommendation of Senator Nelson that
w. E. Hale of Minneapolis be given
the seat.
At the time of Judge William Loeb
rcn's retirement at the age limit, it
was taken for granted that Senator
Nelson's recommendation would 90
through But it was turned down by
the president. and Senator Nelson sue
ceedcd in holding up the appointment
to the day of adjournment. Then Judge
Purdy, who was then in the office OF
Attorney General Bonaparte, was
named by the president as recess
appointment. and, no action being
taken by the last congress, continued
to act
Nelson Is the Man.
The question now is whether Senator
Nelson will manage to convince Presi
dent Taft that Mr.. Hale. or some other
man he may recommend. should be APP
pointed to succeed Judge Purdy. II
President Taft regards the wishes of
his predecessor. there is no question
that Judge Purdy will be reappointed,
for President Roosevelt has high re-
gard for his judicial temperament, ma
tive push and ability and general quail
ilications. But he does not suit Sena
tor Nelson, and the line is sharply
drawn.

MISTRESS OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
How Mrs. Taft Will Look After the
Domestic Affairs There

Washington, March 9.-Mrs. William
H. Taft, wife of the president, and as
such first lady of the land is regard
ed as just as well fitted for mistress
of the White House as is her husband
for head of the nation.
Mrs. Taft was first lady of the
land when her husband was governor
general of the Philippines, and while
he was secretary of war she gained q
most intimate knowledge of the exact
tions of official Washington society.
Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Roosevelt were
warm personal friends, and it can be
safely assumed that the wife of the
former president has given Mrs. Taft
the benefit of her experience i'll man
aging the executive mansion from the
social and domestic point of view.
The addition of the executive office
building permits of an entire divorce
ment of the official business of the
president from the White House proper
and this added facility is to be avail
ed of to the full extent That the
main entrance to the White House
may present as near possible the
appearance ot private residence. the
uniformed police officers and frock
coated doorkcepcrs have been climi
mated and in their place are negro
footmen in livery For safety, an Of
ficcr is retained on duty in the office
room inside the main entrance and an
other Oh the second floor of the man
sion.
The rights of the public are recog-
nlzcd by keeping an hour of the time
from noon until one o'clock as the
hour when admission is granted
through the east entrance of the his
toric east room and the parlors of the
mansion.
Mrs. Taft has abolished the position
Of steward and will conduct her do
nestle arrangement through IL woman
hOusekeeper.
bile the season of prescribed Off
cial dinners is over, it may be predict
ed that the new tenant of the White
House will conduct IL series of in
formal social functions during the spc-
cal session OF congress which will
bring renewed animation and social life
to the sedate and sombre structure dur
ing the first few months of the Taft
regime.
