BUST OF PRESIDENT TAFT

The well known sculptor, Robert I. Aitken, has completed bust of Pres- dent Taft, modelled in clay. He has had sittings recently from the president in the latter's offices in the White House, and callers on the chief executive have enjoyed the double sensation of visiting sculptor's studio and calling on the president. It is said that this bust of the president is destined to ornament either the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York or the Corcoran Art Gal. lery in Washington. Opinions as to the merits from an artistic point of view, or as a portrait bust, will probably be reserved until the bust shall have been reproduced in marble or bronze.

tabIished fact. It began business in this city on April 2l. There was some difficulty to find suitable quarters for the court, as the government is very deficient in accommodations for offices and pays about half a million dollars rent every year to property holders of the district of Columbia. The needs of the government here increase faster than it is possible to meet them by erecting new buildings. The new court consists of Chief Justice Robert M Montgomery, Justices Orion II. Barber, William II. Hunt, James Francis Smith and Marion II. DeVries. All cases in Volving customs will in the future be filed before this court. Undoubtedly the court will in short time have a congested docket.

in the Ozark hills of Fancy county, was the home for many years of one of the most interesting characters of the west, Alexander c. Kissee, found CT of the town, husband of five wives and the father of twenty-eight chil- dren, who is dead.
 The matrimonial record of the late Captain Kissee stands out in class by itself. He came to Christian county with his parents from Edgar Hill, H., when a boy. At the age of 20 he mar ried Miss Catherine McHaffe. To them came ten children-David, Arter, Mary, Catherine, Elizabeth, Emily, Julia, Schuyler, 4 braham and daugh- ter who died in infancy. The mother died in 1876.
 Three months later Captain Kissee married Miss Cordelia M Davis. To this union thirteen children were born. They were: Ulysses s. G., William and Robert (twins), Cordelia, Hiram, Al fred, Benjamin, Ethel, Pearl, Rosa and two daughters who died in infancy and "ere not named. Mrs. Kissee died Nc vember l, 1898.
 August 15, 1899, Captain Kssee was married to Miss Rosa Garrett, with whom he lived only two weeks. This union was brought about through a matrimonial agency, and it was short lived. Then, on April I, 1900, at Kan sas City, he was married to Miss May Thomas.
 To them was born a daughter, Maude, who died September ?, 1901. Two weeks after the death of this child

THE RED CROSS

It was learned the other day bv committee of congress that l37 organi. cations have the privilege of using the red cross on white field as their in. signia, Those who supposed that the organization with which the American Red Cross society is affiliated has a monopoly of the red cross seem to be greatly in error One object of inc hearing was to stop the indiscriminate use of the red cross as an advertisino device. The statement was made thai all kinds of merchandise was put m under the red cross label. Instances cited were certain make of shoes. q brand of horse medicine, and a particu- lar kind of false teeth. Probably some one will yet put this label on an espe. cial make of collins. President Taft is president of the American Red Cross and he probably would like to sec the use of the emblem for advertising re strlcted or prohibited.

THE VANISHING PUBLIC DOMAIN

According to the Hon. Fred Dennett, commissioner of the general land of fee, in an address which was printed by order of the senate as public doe. ument, almost exactly One-half of the public domain remaining to the people is in Alaska-36S,0 ,0l6,03S acres; four times enough to give every man, woman and chilG in the United States one acre apiece. Something more than billion, ol 1,l17,7lS,506 acres, has been disposed of in one way or another since 1776, a period of l34 years. The remainder is going rapidly, and it is pretty evident that it will be short time before there will be great demand for public land in Alaska. In fact the demand for coal and timber land there has begun and in some localities great success is being made of agriculture. What the future ot Alaska will be no one can phophesy, but it IS certainly destined to have a future far different from what most peoplebelieved possible only short time ago. In fact, it should support a bigger population than Norway and Sweden.

FOREST SERVICE PUBLICITY

The government is spending very large sums annually for the purpose of publicity. With several hundred news paper correspondents, magazine writers, local reporters and others whose busi. ness it is to gather news and prepare 1t for publication, it would seem that
 Washington was well equipped in the line of publicity. All of these channels ot news, however, are insufficient to meet the requirements of the govern ment, which in its various departments employs a constantly increasing army Of publicity agents, who are hired and paid under various designations so that
 an inspection of the records would not necessarily disclose the nature of the services rendered. The report of the forest service for the last fiscal year shows that MT. PinchOt expended a lit tie more than $S3,000 during that year for publicity. A footnote in the report shows that over $l9,OOO of this was paid for stenciling addresses. Without delving into the figures of the other de- partments it might be remarked that if all of them conduct their publicity campaigns on similar lines the expense

SMUGGLING CHINESE

It is stated that the Chinese are again Hooking across the Mexican border to the United States. These contraband immigrants are reported to find little difficulty in evading the immigration of ficials, partly because they are so few guards along the line. The appropriation for the immigration service was $2, ,40O,- 900 this year, and deficiency of $1OO,- GOO is expected by the end of the year. June 30, although economy is being practiced as far as possible. This policy results in reducing the number of men on duty at the immigration stations along the border. Inspection of immi- grants is more thorough than formerly, and it is urged that a better class of inspectors is needed to make sure that intending immigrants comply with the requirements of the law.

SENATORS IN CLASH
EIkins and Cummins Have
Tilt at Hearing.
QUESTION STARTS TROUBLE
Discussion of Interstate Commerce
Commission Measures Before
Committee Enlivened.

General approval by the interstate COM
merce commission of the ElkiHs admins
tration bill for the creation Of a COM
merce court and for the enlargement Of
the powers of the interstate commerce
commission was voiced this morning by
Chairman Martin A Knapp before the
Senate committee on interstate commerce.
| That the administration bill, however.
does not prohibit holding companies from
holding competing lines, although it pro-
hibits one railroad corporation from con-
trolling a competitor, was one of the
features which Chairman Knapp special
ly emphasized during his testimony. In
response to questions. Chairman Knapp
said it was-for Congress to determine
whether 1t wished to prohibit holding
company from holding competing lines.
the commission being content simply to
point out that the Elkins bill does not
make such a prohibition.
Elkins Propounds Query.
The hearing was enlivened by a clash
between Senators Elkins and Cummins.
The bills introduced by the two senators
were before the committee and Chair
man Knapp discussed the provisions of
each.
after the amendments suggested have
been made, which bill does the commits
sion prefer" Senator Elkins asked Mr..
Knapp.
necessary Inference, from the views
Expressed by him. that the commission
preferred the Elkins administration
measure to Senator Cummins' bill.
In view of the question asked by
Senator Elkins, which l thought un-
fair" remarked Senator Cummins a
minute later, Il want to ask Judge
Knapp some questions about specific
provisions of these bills"
Il did not mean to be unfair" Sena-
Itor Elkins replied. He explained that
when the bill is considered in the Sem
ate he surely will be asked which bill
the interstate commerce commission
prefers; and. therefore, he asked the
question of Chairman Knapp in anticI-
patton
Il think the committee would be re-
miss il it did not ask that question"
he added later.
Unfair, Declares Cummins.
81 hardly thought, in the scope of an
ordinary hearing, it was fair to ask
such a broad question:" Senator Cum
Minis persisted.
Il hope Senator Cummins does not
think l wanted to act unfairly Senator
Elkns added.
You wanted the Senate to have the
opinion that the interstate commerce
commission wants the Elkins bill passed. :"
retOrted Senator Cummins
At this point Senator Crane suggested
the withdrawal Of the question and the
answer stricken from the record SEN
ator EllxinS said he would do that IL Sem
ator Cummns thought the question un-
fair Senator Cummins repeated the SEN
timents expressed before and. following
the advice of several members of the COM
mittee, the question and answer were
stricken from the record.

presentation of the views OF the COM
mission Judson {. Clement of the COM
mission spoke briefly.

up on the beach here last Sunday, are
not expected to resist extradition. 1t is
probable they will be brought to this
city without delay.
William Seyler. who has wife and
two children here. is charged by the
police with the murder of the girl. Orvis
is wanted as an accessory.
The police had nothing against Orvis
at first. The fact that he left the city
when the girl disappeared caused the
police to seek him as a witness at least.
Chief of Detectives Whalen said today
that the brothers left the city on a
freight train on February 6. two days
after Miss Adams disappeared They
reached the Virginia town about five
days ago.
The police knew that William Seyler had
been employed in railroad construction
work and that he formerly lived near
Petersburg. On the theory that he might
have gone to work with a construction
gang In that vicinity. Whalen sent two
detectives to make search.
According to information received here
the brothers were found In bed in a
boarding house.

tion today at the CAPTURE
