 sire, Senator Bora consented to wait for the government to take action. He is now persuaded that the reasons urged last summer for staying his resolution are no longer operative. He is still of the opinion that the action of the trust in voluntarily paying fines amounting to some $3,000,000 directly and emphatical- ly discredited the assertion of the attor- ney general that there was no ground for action, and he is likely to ask for a congressional investigation almost any time. Such an investigation, he thinks, would result in interesting disclosures.

PHEASANT FANCYING

The department of agriculture has now issued a new treatise, telling how to breed pheasants. Some years ago the Mongolian pheasant was successfully in troduced into Oregon, where it thrived so well under the protective laws that when the public was permitted to hunt it, bag of 50,000 was recorded for the first days shooting. The success of this venture led to the rearing of pheasants in many localities and in some cases on a very large scale. The birds are popular for public and private parks and game preserves. The price of pheasants ranges from $5 to $50 or more per pair While easy to raise, they are subject to various diseases and short treatise is given on their com plaints. The brochure of the depart. ment on pheasants will be found very interesting to persons who have a lik- ing for breeding fowls, and the pros pect is held out that it will prove very profitable.

Some of the public buildings of the govern ment are a standing disgrace to it.

BUSINESS METHODS FOR U. s.

The efforts of Senator Burton to bring about a better business system in the distribution of money for the i'm provement of the nation s waterways did not avail much. His contention that the policy followed was not calcu- lated to bring about the best results was, however, sound Senator Newlands also has been consistent advocate of cooperation and coordination by gov ernment departments and he is enthus- iastic for the systematic development and improvement of the rivers and har- bors. He carries this policy through consistently. He would have, for in stance, the same policy pursued in the building operations of the government. At present, he says, there are several bureaus or offices which are charged with preparing architectural plans for pL'olc structures. The army and navy prepare their own plans, sometimes hlr- ing outside architects The marine hospital service does the same.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April ?. - There can be no mistaking the fact that the republicans are facing criti- cal state of affairs They have had two recent object lessons in the defeat of republicans for congress in districts where the democrats had long ago ceased to look for success, until dissen- sion this year renewed their courage. Some party men are not willing to admit that there is cause for alarm in these reversals of political form, but most honest men agree that it is but sign of the times and an indication of the national unrest which will culmi- nate in disaster at the polls next Novem- Der unless some means be found to stem the tide of discOntent.
 It was shock when Foss was elected to congress in Massachusetts on dem ocratic ticket, but it was infinitely more disconcerting when Rochester followed suit with the election of James s. Hav- ems, democrat, in district which should have given 10000 plurality for the republican ticket, and that in spite of the fact that the boss of the district, George w. Aldridge, was the candidate against Ravens.

ErrRoNTERY OF THE LEADERS

In fact, it was the opinion of many persons, and some of them mighy wise politicians of the high tariff variety at that, that the democratic success was a rebuke to the effrontery of the leaders of the republican party. "They had no business, said these persons, "to put up boss like Aldridge for representa- tive. The people have been crying out for some sort of concession and the leaders have been thrusting them back with the assertion that they did not know what they wanted and that they must come up to the rack and take heir medicine without whimpering or else they were not true republicans and they would be read out of the party and that they might go and herd with the democrats or prohibitionists or the socialists if they did not like the way the republican party was being run. This sort of thing will not carry the election in November. l know we are sending out spellbinders into the in surgent states. but we must do more than that. We must show that we are entitled to the confidence of the peo- pie. '
 With President Taft "sounding the keynote" on the stump during the sum mer and the ablest speakers in the party following him up, the republicans are going to make determined fight to sustain their prestige. The democrats, however, are full of hope, and will put forth their best efforts. They say they are certan to capture control of the house of representatives, in which event "Cannonsm will cease to be bug bear and we shall probably have "Clarkism. ''

PROPERTY DIVIDED
BY DElGfR HEIRS
Settlement Apportions Large
and Valuable Realty Hold
ing in Heart of Oakland

OAKLAND March 17.-By an agree
ment that has been reached among the
heirs of the late Frederick Delger and
his late wife, Ernestine, remaining
pieces of realty have been reappor-
toned. The property involved is of the
most valuable in Oakland.
The block in the west side of Broad
way between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets is to be taken over by
Mrs. Lille d. Powers, Mrs. Matilda
Brown and Mrs. William Mohler,
daughters, while the old Delger home,
at Telegraph avenue and Nineteenth
street goes to Frederick Delger, son.
Certain cash considerations, which have
not been made public, passed in the set
tlement.
Frederick Delger died in 1898, leav-
ing an estate of about 100000. His
widow died about 10 years later. Both
of these estates have been distributed
to the children, but some of the realty
distributed was not divided until now.
The block in the west side of Broad
way between Ninth and Tenth streets,
also known as the Delger block, was
divided and sold several years ago.
The Broadway and Fourteenth street
block has probably the most valuable
frontage in Oakland and is worth more
than 100000. The Delger home has a
frontage on three streets and has great
ly increased in value in the last few
years.

ACCUSES MARSHAL
CAREY OF CRUELTY
Official Replies That Author OF
Charge Should Be Run Out
of Emeryville


OAKLAND. March 17-Charges of
brutality, false arrest and attempted
eXtortion were made today against
Marshal Edward Carey of Emeryville
by d. III. Thompson of 1920 Park ave-
nue. These charges are contained in
which viii be presented to the grand
jury at the next meeting of that body.
On the other hand Carey declares
that Thompson. who is an old man,
should be run out of town, declaring
that he has given money to young girls
and has come under the ban of Miss
Beatrice Mccall probation officer, for
such offenses. Carey says that he
fears no investigation, but will produce
testimony that will prove Thompson to
be morally debased.
The substance of Thompson's aifida-
Wit is that Carey has arrested him
twice, treating him brutally on both
occasions, and without reason. Both
charges against him were dismissed, ne
declares. On the occasion of the first
arrest, he says, Carey seized him by
the throat. kicked and struck him and
MANNED him for life. This arrest.
Thompson relates, followed his giving
shelter to three women in Emeryv1lle
who had lived in the Bucket of Blood
saloon and had been made destitute
when that saloon was burned.
Il am prepared to go before the
grand jury and show Thompson's char
acter," Carey said today. MY first
contact with him came as the result of
a complaint made by Miss Mccall that
young girls should be protected from
him. She induced Judge Ogden to sub
pena him and 1 served the subpoena.
From that time he began to villfy,
abuse and threaten me, until arrested
him. But / had the charge against
him dismissed later, thinking that he
had been punished enough and would
behave himself. He did not, and two
months ago l was called to the Vic
toria hotel because some drunken peo-
pie were making a disturbance and
breaking furniture. l found them to
be Thompson, another man and a
woman, all of whom l placed under ar
rest. The other man and the woman
were convicted but Thompson was re-
leased on their testimony.
'He is notorious in Emeryville and
should be run out of town."
