Gov. Warner believes that he has
found a way to boost the finances of
the state of Michigan. He wants the
federal government to pay the state
$295,000, alleged to be due from the
sale OF public lands. He has written
the members of the delegation. urg-
ing them to support a bill which
would result in the payment being
made
The claim on the government rests
on early agreements made with all
the land grant states, whereby each
was to receive per cent of the pro-
ceeds arising from the sale of public
land with that state. To a large ex-
tent the public lands have been sold,
but none of the money has been
turned over to the states. The move
ment TO secure payment is headed by
Gov. Davidson, of Wisconsin, a copy
of whose letter TO Gov Warner has
been sent to each member of the
Michigan delegation.
In answering Gov. Warmers letter
Congressman Fordney indicated that
it might be unwise for Michigan to
go too far in forcing payment. He
drew attention to the fact that about
rs years ago the federal government,
having too much money on hand,
loaned it to the states. No call has
ever been made for the return of this
cash. but Fordney says that If a call
should be made, the amount due from
Michigan. with interest, would doubt
less more than Offset the amount due
on account of the sale of public lands.

MT. Jefferson was asked to bring aninong other papers, letter from a gen. oral who was believed to have knowledge of Burr's alleged reasonable designs upon the southwest, but he contended that as the executive officer of the government 6 he was exempt from the process of the court.
 The documents do not disclose just how g the incident ended, but one of the of ficials said it was his recollection from reading the history of the trial that the Presidents attitude was upheld by the courts. Burr was tried at Richmond in lSN and acquitted.

AFT SPENDS VERY
 QUIET SUNOA
Church Is Passed Up For Con

SITUATION IS VERY BAD
New York Political Machine Needs Re- pairs and Taft and the State Lead CTS Are Trying to Help Mat
 tcrs All They Can

New York, February 13.-President Taft made an easy Sunday of it n New York. He posed leisurely for sketch
 or two before a young woman artist
 while going through his IT all this morning, saw only two callers during the day and left for Washington over the Pennsylvania railroad at 5 ho D. m
 The young artist in question is a pro tege of Otto T. Barnard, president ol the New York Trust company, and de- feated candidate for mayor in fte late municipal contest. The artist. Lloyd c. Griscom, president of the New York republican county committee, aad MT.
 Barnard were the only persons besides relatives whom the President saw dur ing the day.
 After a banquet at the Republican club last night, after which th9 Presi- dent made q speech on republican poli- cies, he returned t. the hon If his
 brother, Henry w. Taft, and did not get up until nearly 10 o'clock today. A number of churches had extended spe- cial invitations to MT. Taft to attend services, but he declined, explaining ir each instance that the activities of yes- terday necessitated exclusion and rest MT. Barnard arrived at the Taft resi- dence a few minutes before IL o'clock and few minutes after he had entered the house he came out with Mrs. Taft on his arm. The President followed and the three, accompanied by secret service agents, were driven in an auto Do ar.1'c
 While Mrs. Taft remained In the car MT. Barnard took the President into the house. introduced him to the young ar
 tst, and the President consented to sit
 for a sketch. Mir. Barnard left them and accompanied Mre Taft on an auto- mobile trip up Fifth avenue.
 MT. Barnard and Mrs. Taft returned to the Barnard home in about an hour. picked up the President, and all went to Henry w. Taft's home, where dinner was served. Afterward there wt 8 mu- sic by the Taft family. and at o'clock the secret service men called with two automobiles and the President and Mrs
 Taft were taken to tte train.
 MT. Barnard, Governor Huehcs and MT. Griscom were of one mind ir insist ing that the republ ran party n this state should be purged and ths Aids Conger charges at A bany sifted to the bottom.
 While President Taft did not commit
 himself at the conference, he is said to have told several leaders that The sit
 uation looked very bad" and | was
 common belief that he sided with
 Messrs. Hughes, Barnard and Griscom as against State Chairman Woodruff Senator Depew and Speaker Wadsworth of the state assembly.
 MT. Barnard would not say tl.at poli- tics was not discussed today. and the inference was that President Taft had taken an active interest In the republic- an situation in this state, and that the
 echo may be heard at Albany with in
 the next few days.

COLD WAVE TO FOLLOW
 A GENERAL STORM

Washington, February 13.-A general storm. followed by a cold wave which promises to be rather severe, is the weather bureaus prediction for the com ing week. The storm will appear over the Pacific states within the next two days, cross the Rockies, plain states and central valleys during the middle days of the week and reach the Atlantic states by Friday. The cold wave will overspread the north Pacific states by Tuesday morning and reach the Atlantic seaboard by Friday or Friday night.
 The cold weather of the latter part of the week probably will check tendencies toward flood conditions in part of the lake region and in the mountain district of the middle Atlantic and New England states, due to the extraordinary depth of snow in those districts.

Ithaca, N. Y, February 13.-So conta- Gious is the Cornell spirit that a white Ithaca hen of the most unblemished char acter has been persuaded, after a course in dietetics with professors of the Cor nell state college of agriculture, to lay eggs bright with the Cornell colors. The yolks are red and the albumen white
 A harmless dye was given to the hen with her feed, and when 1t was seen that her plumage became a delicate pink her eggs were examined and found to be more deeply colored yet. Other admix- lures of dye turned the yolk of the egg pink and the hen feet pink.
