Berlin.

"Berle," from which Berlin has
caught her name, means uncultivated
land. Slavonian Wends, the earliest
settlers on the sandy plain, could make
but little out Of the SOIL The popula-
ton in 1882 was only 100000. Less
than forty years later it was 100000,
and now it runs into 100000. The
man who gave to Berlin it's present
form was Frederick H., but Frederick
the Great-and the Great Elector started
the noble hobby of identifying the
wonderful city. ~

This world is organized on inn
practical lines. No one is happy.
Most of us are miserable. Some
people have too much power, and
others have not chance to earn
enough to have two meals a day.
But it is growing better slowly, as
all great things should grow. Fifty
years ago you could not have started
society for the prevention OF
cruelty to children or animals Peo-
pie would have laughed at you. "A
few years before that, they would have
jeered at teaching most of the things
that are taught in the public schools.
Newspapers were few and timid
and dear. Every night now in the
cars and on the ferry boats you can
see hundreds of laboring men read
ine newspapers and learning, wax
ing up to their own power as free
citizens and voters. "
THE world will be happy yet, but
it will not be anarchy that will &C.
complish it, but education. Let them
build lots of school houses and teach
the people how to use the ballot and

Il believe implicitly the time is
not far distant when they will be able

Everything is material. We have

RAILROAD BILL
IN BETTER SHAPE
Long and Short Haul Amend
ment Eases the Burden of
COnferees

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE adop-
tion by the senate yesterday of a long
and short haul amendment to the rail-
road bill will result, it is believed. in
haste tag the final vote on the meas
ure and make easier the task of the
conferees who will attemptt har-
monize the difference between the SEN
ate and the house. This is the consen-
sus of opinion expressed by congress
leaders.
There seems to be some doubt as to
the meaning of the composite amend
ment adopted, and the lack of conf
dence in the effectiveness of the provi-
sion is not minimized by the satisfac-
tion evidenced by senators who op-
posed the adoption of any change in
the present laws Senator'S AIdrich and
Crane visited the White House, and
afterward asserted that President Taft
was content with the Dixon-Paynter
provision.
An effort was made by Senator Ell
kins to reach some agreement with the
insurgent republicans for shortening
debate on the undisposed sections of
the bill. He talked with Senator Cum
Minis. but neither would discuss the

CROSS EXAMINATION
OF SCHWARTZ BRIEF

WASHINGTON, May 14.-with one
question Attorney Brandeis concluded
the GROSS examination of H. H.
Schwartz. chief of the field service. at
the Ballinger-Plnchot investigation to-
day. Schwartz then was excused to
who had expected some interesting
clashes between him and Brandeis.
Brandeis' question apparently had
behind IL the purpose of showing that
Secretary Ballinger's subordinates, in
the absence OF specific instructions from
their chief. had pursued course In re-
gard to the Alaskan coal claims that
they believed would be pleasing to him.
WENT TO BALLINGER
Schwartz yesterday said CLAWS came
here last May and expressed himself
as anxious to obtain a construction of
the new coal land law of May %, 1908.
before proceeding with the investiga-
tion Of the Cunningham cases. He said
he accompanied CLAWS to Secretary
Ballinger and they urged him as mat
ter of policy to have the matter sub
mitted to the attorney general.
The secretary had replied he thought
Ii was a matter which could be settled
within the department, but he had no
objection to its going to the attorney
general.
Schwartz said he then went away
from the city and on his return CLAWS
had said to him: This thing is not
right" explaining to him that Assistant
Secretary Pierce had made the decision
instead of submitting the matter to the
attorney general Schwartz admitted
this conversation with CLAWS was the
one to which he referred in his letter of
August 81 to Don M. Carr, private sec
retary to Ballinger. when he said:
If CLAWS is now playing in with
the forest service he probably has
expressed the same opinion on this
matter that he has heretofore ex-
pressed to me-that Pierce's deci-
caused King George to exclaim: .It
is the curse of kings to be attended
by slaves that on the
winking of authority un-
derstand a law"
ASKS THE QUESTION
Brandeis then asked: did CLAWS
No, / guess that was just the way ]
put it."
THAT is all 1 care to ask the wit
ness" said the attorney.
Fred bennett, commissioner of the
general land Office, succeeded Schwartz
on the stand and related at great
length the attitude of the interior de-
partment toward coal land legislation
which has been before congress in re-
cent years He denied he had ever had
any interest in Alaskan coal claims
The committee decided today to meet
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Satur-
