While there is a very obvious attempt

fact that the person OF a representative

SILVER WEDDING

White House. too. They have decided
that whatever their plans may be for and
after that date, they viii so arrange
things as TO be here in Washington on

conditions.
1t is understood that the celebration Of

will be made a notable affair. Washing

and it is expected that foreign govern

The Washington herald., 1910-12-29

The policy OF the administration with
reference 10 the fortihcation of the Pan
anna Canal probably will depend largely
upon the result of a conference at the
White House last night between Presis
dent Taft. Secretary of State Knox, Sena-
tor Flint, of California, chairman Of the
Senate Committee on Interoceanic Ca
mails, and Representative Mann. of Ilh-
nois. chairman Of the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
While no official statement was given
out and reticence was maintained by the
parties 10 the conference il is accepted
that Mr.. Knox's presence means that the
treaty provision which has been so often
quoted of late by advocates of the pro-
lection OF the canal by naturalization
was under discussion.
The President realizes that the propo-
sition TO spend about s90,co00o0 for the
fortification OF the canal-$7OOO.OOO being
asked for this year to begin the work
viii not have plain sailing in Congress.
Opposed by Tawney.
Representative Tawney, of Minnesota,
chairman Of the House Appropriations
Committee, gave out an interview in
Panama, couple Of weeks before Con
gress convened, bitterly attacking the
administrations fortifcation scheme and
advocating the naturalization idea. Rep
resentatve Foster, OF Vermont, chair
man of the Foreign Relations Committee
OF the House, yesterday came out en-
phatically in favor Of the protection OF
the canal by naturalization and not by
fortification
The views Of these two prominent
members OF the House are entertained
by many Of the rank and fiie. Conse-
quentiy. the President aHd his advisers
realize that. the fortificatiOn plan being
agreed upon, it will be necessary 20 get
to work at the earliest possible moment
in order TO secure sufficient strength in
both branches Of Congress TO put the
project through
Once the initial appropriation is made
the rest will be easy. Not even those
members OF Congress who do not believe
in large expenditures for war or prepara-
tion for war will be likely 10 oppose the
appropriation Of a sufficient sum 10 com
plete canal fortificatiOns upon (which the
government had already expended mil
lions.
But the trouble is 10 get sufficient votes
this session 20 authorize the expenditure
Of the initial 100000 That is what the
President and his advisers discussed last
night
Special Message CSnsirg.
It is accepted as certain that President
Taft will send special message TO Con-
gress on this subject early in January
Having consistently advocated the forti-
ficauon OF the canal, as the only logical
means of protecting that waterway. it is
not considered at all likely that he viii
change his mind at the eleventh hour.

FINGER PRINTS RIGHT.
VindicatiOn of Method on Which
Doubt Was Recently Cast.

London. Dec. &-About week ago
man was arraigned in the High Gate
Police Court on misdemeanor charge,
but was acquitted when he produced
proof that finger prints the police claimed
were taken upon the occasion of a pre-
vious conviction could not be his as he
was serving in the army at the time
This was the first time that identiica-
ton by means of finger prints failed.
Now the infallibility of that method
has been vindicated. II has been discov-
cred that the man referred TO was never
a soldier. He stole the proofs of another's
army service.
New evidence has been obtained sus-
tanning the police charge that he had
previously been sentenced on another
charge.

New York, Dec. 2S-When Or. Carlos
F. Macdonald. of the Central Valley
Sanatorlum, came TO examine Joseph @.
Robin. who was committed TO that in
stitution on Monday by Justice Amend
on the certificates of Drs. r. Valentine
Wildman and Max G. Schlaff that he
was mad, DR.. Macdonald decided that
Robin was not mad at all, and told
Robins sister. Dr. Louise q. RobinOvitch,
to take him away. His sister, who went
with Robin TO Central Valley, asked DIT.
Macdonald if they might remain over
night. The doctor said yes. They went
away this morning.
After a day of watching and wild
stories Of flight. District Attorney Whit
man was told tonight that Robin is in
this city. Former District Attorney
Jerome, who has been retained by DR..
RObinOvitch as Robins lawyer. called
Mr.. Whitman on the telephone and an
nounced that he knew where his client
was. Mr.. Jerome promised to hand
Robin over TO the district attorney when
ever he shall be wanted.
VIII Produce Robin.
Mr.. Whitman said that under the cir
cumstances he would. Of course. give Up
the hunt. He said that MI Jerome S
assurance to produce the alleged mad
man were sufficient. The district attor-
ney knows where Robin is staying. 1t is
in Manhattan but he woNld not say
where
Dr. Macdonald told the district attor-
ney that on Tuesday night he ordered
Robin out of his sanatorium, but that on
the strength of Or. Robinovitchs pleas
10 stay till morning he allowed them.
There was good deal of doubt as TO
who was responsible for Robin after he
had been committed to the sanatorium.
DR.. Macdonald called the district attor-
ney on the telephone early in the morn
ing and tried 10 impress it upon him
that he had no idea that criminal pro-
ceedings against Robin were pendingi
otherwise he declared he would not have
accepted him as a patient. The doctor
averred that he did not get an inklins
OF the affair until he read about it in
the afternoon papers on Tuesday.
Another person anxious 10 explain
things to Mr. Whitman was Dr. Max
Schiapp.
Says He Was Deceived.
He called in person TO say that he had
been deceived the same aa Dr. Mac
donald. RE explained that he had re-
lied in his diagnosis of Robins sanity
upon information furnished him by
Robins family, meaning DIR. Robinovitch.
She told him that her brother had been
addicted to strange delusioRs Tor some
time. He believed that women sleuths
were bounding him. The doctor said
that she offered as conclusive proof OF
Robins insanity the twitching of the
muscles in his face. And above all. said
DR. Schlapp, she brought forth certif-
cate signed by herself presumably stating
that no criminal action was pending
against her brother.
