Gibbons to Pay
Elbert's Debts
Priest at Baltimore Had Received
$4,000 to Put in Visionary
Financial Schemes.

BALTIMORE. Md. March 1.-THE rev.
elations published today concerning the
financial ventures of the Rev Caspar p.
Elbert. recently removed from the rector
ship of St. GATHERINGS Roman Catholic
church, this city, have caused a pro-
found sensation in Catholic circles. The
deepest sympathy is expressed for Car
dinal Gibbons. who has assumed the bur-
den of paying Father Elbert's debts.
These obligations, so far as disclosed,
amount to about s13O,OOO, exclusive of
church debt of $4,000. They were is
sued to banks and individuals in amounts
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 and were
all signed by Father Elbert as pastor of
st. GATHERINGS church.
According to an official statement from
Cardinal Gibbons. very little of the money
raised by Father Ebert was used for
church purposes. Some of it went" he
said. ito pay premiums on life and acci-
dent insurance. The balance went into
visionary financial schemes by which he
expected to realize large profits. There
is no indication that the money was
spent for any improper purposes"
Father Ebert is now in sanitarium
and is believed mentally unbalanced.

WASHINGTON. March lll-(special Tele-

ernoon has IL that Colonel Pete" Hepburn
OF Iowa is likely to be appointed assistant
secretary OF the treasury to succeed Beck
man Winthrope, who has been transferred
to the Navy department II has been re-
ported since the close OF congress that the
new administration would take care of
Colonel Hepburn. For time he was slated
to go on the Interstate Commerce commits
sion as one of the two members 1t was
proposed 10 add TO that body. The bill
which was introduced into congress to pro-
vide for such addition failed OF passage.
Since then the friends OF Colonel Hepburn
have been casting about for something else
for him.
In connection with the defeat OF the
measure an interesting story is told that
when Hepburn made his attack on the
rules OF the house not long before the end
OF the session Speaker Cannon set his
forces In motion TO get the bill defeated.
Whatever happened Il is certain the bill
dropped out OF sight.
Colonel Hepburn was formerly solicitor

district of Illinois. 1t is understood, how
ever, that Messrs. Wilkerson and Sims,
government attorneys, will come to Wash
ington within the next few days for a
conference with Attorney General Wick
ersham. when It is presumed a course of
action will be decided on.
The decision OF the court in the SO 900 OOC

district court three double cases IN which
two separate grand juries have found in
dictments. These three double cases are
understood TO be similar II not identical
with the case decided yesterday.
Judge lands had nothing to say con-
cerning the decision.
Consideration already has been given by
government counsel TO the case OF the
United States against the Standard Oil
company which shortly is to come TO trial
at Jackson, Tenn.
'"The indictment in that case contains
1859 counts. specific charges being that

"A four-horse rebate team can be driven

This was the opinion expressed by an
important law officer OF the government I'm
the course OF discussion Of the Standard

parts OF the country.
The law officers pointed out that Judge

lawful or not. Judges Grosscup Seaman

FREE LUMBER NOT A BOON
Clifford Pinchot Says it Would Not Re-
duce Price or Preserve Forests.
WOULD REMOVE DUTY ON PULP
Question, Says Forest Expert, is One
of Conservation, which Can
Only he seGured by Re-
producing Trees.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-A removal of
the tariff on lumber would neither reduce
the price to the consumer, nor preserve our
forests according to the opinion expressed
by clifford Pinchot, chief Of the United
states forest reserve service. in letter to
Serene f. Payne. chairman of the house
ways and means committee, made public
tonight.
Mr. Pinchot holds that the fundamental
question at Issue in the lumber tariff Is
forest conservation. He says that he would
favor a removal of the tariff IL he were
of the opinion, which he thinks, is the cause
of the demand for free lumber, that it
would offer a way to protect our forests.
But / am unable to see" he says "how
free lumber will promote forestry.
There is only one way to save our for
ests," he adds. THAT is to see that they
are kept at work growing new crops OF
timber as the old Is cut away"
Mr.. Pinchot says that most of the
lumber we now import comes from Canada,
as most of 1t would II the duty were taken
off We are now importing from Canada
only about per cent as much lumber as
We are cutting from our own forests. 1t is
not likely, under free lumber, more than 5
per cent as much would come from Canada,
as we would cut at home"
Canada, as compared with the United
States, has no great timber supply" con-
tinued Mr.. Pinchot. Her total amount
OF standing timber is probably not more
that one-third of what is left of ours. In
the end the Canadians will undoubtedly
require for home use all the timber they
can produce. Imports from Canada, there
fore. would not be enough to limit the cut
ting of our forests or to reduce the price
o flumber an important degree"
Little Benefit to Consumer.
Mr. Pinchot is OF the opinion that if the
tariff were removed there would be little,
if any, benefit to the ultimate consumer
in the United States.

HARD COAL SCALE MEETING
Miners Demand Increase in Pay and
Certain Other Concessions.
COUNTER PROPOSITION MAD.
Operators Oner to Renew Present
Contract for Three Years-ReeoE-
milton of Miners Union is
Denied.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE an
thracite coal operators met the committee
of hard coal miners here today and flatly
refused to grant the men any of the de-
mands they laid before them and at the
same time proposed to the mine workers
that the present agreement. which will ex-
pire March 81, be renewed for term of
three years. This decision was not unex-
pected by the mine workers. Thomas Lewis,
national president OF the United Mine
Workers of America declined to comment
on the developments beyond stating that
he and his committeeman will meet to
discuss the situation. The miners will
meet the operators again at o'clock tomor-
row afternoon.
A statement Off the public agreed upon
by both sides follows:
The operators declined to accede to the
demands. The chief reason offered for the
rejection was that any increase in the cost
of production would necessitate an advance
In the price of coal and that such an ad-
vance was impracticable. The operators
said that wages in the anthracite mining
industry were already at a high level and
could not be increased.
Free Discussion OF Proposition.
1.-THE operators announcement was fol-
lowed by free discussion OF the various
demands, each side stating It's views fully
in regard thereto. The operators declared
their unwillingness to reopen the eight
hour day question and other questions
passed upon by the anthracite strike com
mission of 1902 They also declared them
selves opposed to the mine workers propo-
sition for a one-year agreement.
"They declined TO recognize the United
Mine Workers Of America, chiefly on the
grounds that it was controlled by bitumi-
nous workers. They said they met Mr..
