An enormous crop Of wheat has
been grown In Russia this year, plac-
ing that land for the first time at the
head Of wheat-growing countries. Its
harvest Of $4,000, 600 bushels exceeds
that Of the United states by 26.000,O00
bushels, and is greater than its own
previous record by about 100,000,000
bushels. The development Of wheat
growing has been most rapid along
the line Of the Trans Siberian railway.
As the home consumption is small in
proportion to population, this has
made Russia one Of the great sources
Of supply for tho rest Of the world.
France consumes much Of the wheat
that It grows The present price Of
wheat in the United States, when
placed against the surplus product 81
Russia, makes it more difficult for this
country TO hold It's place as an ex-
porter Of that cereal.

ALL PARIS STARTLED BY
EXTENT OF ART SWINDLE
More So-caIIed Rembrandts and
Turner's Sold Than Noted Men
Could Have Painted

PARIS. April 2O.-The revelations
made in the case Of Count De Gatigny.
who, with the countess, is being ex-
amined at Tours on a charge of having
misrepresented the origin of paintings
and the antique furniture purchased
by Mrs. Charles H. Paine of this city
.and formerly of Boston, have caused
profound impression in the world
of art and served to open up the whole
question of the many-sided traffic in
sham paintings, other works of art
and antique furniture.
Although the declarations of Henri
Rochefort, editor of the Patrie, regard
ing the Rembrandts may constitute a
satirieal exaggeration, it is the gen
eral opinion that there is some truth
in his assertion that celebrated col
lections i7i homes in America and else
where contain spurious Rembrandts as
well as copies of other masters. NJ.
Rochefort has said that so per cent OF
the Rembrandts owned in America
were forgeries.

said M Rochefort, "that / have al
most decided that Turner never eN-
listed. He could not have turned out
works attributed to him if he had

ATLANTIC FLEET TO Be
INCREASED TO Il SHIPS
Sweeping Reorganization Plans
of Navy Department to
Take Effect Soon

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The navy
department has just perfected plans for
a sweeping reorganization of the At
lantic fleet TO take effect in May and
June, when the ships come to the navy
yards for overhauling.
In July. 1911, by the addition Of the
Florida and the Utah, and the complet-
tion of repairs upon several other ships,
the Atlantic fleet will be increased to
twenty-one battleships in full commits
sion, making it practicable TO keep sew
enteen ships always actively employed,
the remaining four being at the home
yards under repairs.
The new order designates the home
port of each ship of the navy, the gem
eral Idea being that the heaviest shall
be based at New York or Norfolk. be-
cause of the superior docking facilities
there. The four battleship divisions
are assigned to New York, Norfolk,
Philadelphia and Boston, while the ar
mored cruiser division will make its
base at Portsmouth.
A reserve fleet will be organized with
the Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts,
as a nucleus, and the Wisconsin and
Kearsarge classes will be added later
on. Ships in reserve will have at least
a third of a full crew. and it is hoped
that by 1911 each battleship in reserve
may have at least $50 men, insuring
the vessels readiness for service on
twenty -four hours notice.
The reserve fleet will be based at
Philadelphia, except the torpedo ves
sells in reserve, which will be placed at
Charleston.
With the exception of six or seven
gunboats, necessary for police and sur
Vey work, vessels of little or no mill
tary value will go out of commission
as soon as possible.

DISARMAMENT PRACTICABLE,
DECLARES SECRETARY KNOX
Early Days in California Cited
as Instance

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Ultimate
disarmament of nations is practicable.
in the opinion of Secretary Knox. He
believes the establishment of a court
of arbitral peace will reduce armament
and ultimately render large armaments
unnecessary.
His plan for an arbitral court, out
lined in an identical note, sent last
fall to verious nations, is said to be
meeting with general favor and Mr..
Knox believes such a court will be
constituted at The Hague in the near
future.
The court, it Is expected, would de-
velop international law, just as the
common law Of England and the Unit
ed States has been developed by ju-
dicial decision.
The secretary gave as an illustra-
tion of the successful operation of an
international court, the condition in
California following the discovery of
gold. In the absence Of courts every
man carried a pistol and himself re-
dressed his real or fancied wrongs. Ul-
timately the establishment of courts
rendered the carrying of arms unneces-
sary, and they were discarded.
The secretary foresees a like result
to the nations from the establishment
of a great international tribunal.

form and urged that the matter be
left to the Massachusetts, delegation
That delegation urged the only thing
possible would be to have the ballots
reprinted. This was ordered and II

SCANDAL TAINTED BILL
KILLED IN OHIO SENATE
House Finds BribeS Offered but
Not Taken for Votes for
Phone Measure

COLUMBUS, o., April 20.-By a
vote of IA TO 10, the state senate to-
day defeated the Elson telephone
merger bill. The passage of this meas
ure by the house resulted in bribery
charges and an investigation by a leg
islatiVe committee.
The house committee that investigat-
ed the bribery charges today reported
that the testimony connects no mem
ber of the house with any irregular
or unlawful act in connection with the
Elson bill
The teetimony shows, however, the
committee says, that an unsuccessful
attempt was made to influence How
ard w. Pears in his vote on the bill,
and the grand jury may find evidence
TO warrant an investigation.
Evidence is disclosed, the committee
reports, by the testimony of Repre-
sentative Cyrus d. Withers, that if
he withdrew his opposition to the Ell
son bill he would receive political in
huence and support in his candidacy
for secretary Of state or for any other
office. This evidence, however is CON
tradicted by evidence as positive and
direct, says the committee.
