JAMES ]. HILL CONFERS
WITH THE PRESIDENT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-Another i'm
petus was given the "something-must-
be-done-about-tle -tle-high-cost-of living
movement to-day when the Central
Labor Union of the District Of Colum-
bia, sent TO President Taft the most
drastic proposal vet made in the fight
against tho beef barons--to have Con-
gress remove the duty on cattle and
hogs.
Tho proposal is in the form of a
resolution passed at last nights meet
ing Of the organization. It sets forth
that while tho beef and pork packers
OF the country claim that high prices
are due TO scarcity of cattle and hogs,
thousands of cattle are shipped abroad
weekly, and sold at q much lower price
than cattle of the same grade in this
country. Tho resolution concludes:
"Be it resolved, That tho Central
Labor Union of Washington petition
Congress. House and Senate, to at once
pass q law removing tho duty from
cattle and hogs until such time as the
prices for the same come down to a
reasonable figure"
President Taft has been made the
target for a large proportion of the
anti-high price movement, and he has
already devoted considerable time TO
the consideration OF the question.
1t is quite possible that when he has
looked into the matter in detail he will
send a special message to Cingross
recommending some solution of the
problem.

RICHEST MAN
IN THE WORLD

Car Nicholas. OF Russia. is the rich
eat man in the world. He made a
contribution Of Sl00.000,O00 from his
private purse to the Russian war fund.
Outside of the Car, other monarchs
are not wealthy. when compared to
Rockefeller. The latter could put all
the sovereigns OF Europe, except the
Car, on his payroll at their present
wages and scarcely miss the money.
The Russian Emperor is in a different
class from the other European Mon
archs.
In the imperial budget the allowance
for his household is figured at $4,000. 900
per year, but that is merely the begin
ming Of his resources. He owns a
great part OF Russia as his private
property, and this includes the mines.
forests and vast stretches Of land. In
Siberia the most OF the rich mines of
gold, platinum and precious stones are
worked for the benefit OF the Car and
his family

Mr. Dennison further more moved that

CELLARS AND
VENTILATION

A warm dry cellar is literally and
actually the foundation OF a warm.
dry and well-eventilated house. The
evolution of the cellar is an interest
ing study in the slow development Of
human intelligence. Originally it was
devised as a subterranean, frost-proof
pit or cave under the house, I'm which
could be stored first. wines, and later
apples, potatoes, cabbages and other
perishable fruits, together with milk,
butter and cheese.
The cellar should be cleaned. lighted
anr heated in the winter and summer
Just as carefully and scrupuiously as
any other part Of the house. When
this is done. together with the proper
ventilation. it will be rid at one stroke
Of dampness. The complaint that
heating the cellar has spoiled its use
for storage purposes is simply a proof
II its advantages.

General food prices are working

May Recover Oil Lands.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Attorney
General Wickersham by direction OF
President Taft, has begun an inquiry
to ascertain whether 6 ZOO acres of al
liable oil lands in California were
known to contain oil when patented
to the Southern Pacific Railway com.
pany. If such is the case suit to re-
cover will be instituted.
President Taft decided to act after
several conferences with Secretary
Ballinger and the attorney general,
just before he left w Washington on his
trip to Panama.
Mr.. Ballinger and Mr.. Wickersham
had an extended conference on the
subject yesterday. The alleR alton has
been made to the president that thou
sands of acres of public lands have
been patented to individuals with the
knowledge that they contained oil and
in many cases found their way into the
hands of the corpor ations. In direct
ing the attorney general to begin an
quiry into the patents of the lands

WASHINGTON, Nov. l0.-As a result
of the democratic control of the house,
there will be Jobs for hundreds OF
democrats. Every repu blican house
job goes to q democrat. The commit
tee chairmen will be completely ch ang-
ed. Numerous veteran republicans
who have exclusively used gorgeous
committee rooms for years will be
ousted firmly, If painfully. The new
speaker is expected to appoint to the
chairmanships the olest democr attic
member of each committee.
Revised returns indicate that the re.
publican majority in the senate will be
reduced from 26 to 10. The democrats
have apparently gained eight seats,

Taft Continues To Smile.

PITTsBURG, Nov. 8.-The first news
of the complexion OF the election of the
various states was received by Presi
dent Taft when he reached this city at
IL O'Clock on his way to Washington
from Cincinnati, where he had gone to
vote. A SUNNI ary OF the results was
placed in the presidents hands, but
he would m axe no comment.
The unfavorable news was read in
silence. At last, however, the presi-
dents face lit up and he had good
laugh for the final dispatch read like
this:
"And at o'clock this afternoon
Pauline Wayne, the White House COW,
gave birth to fine bull calf weighing
100 pounds"
