Secretary of Interior and Party Pass
Through Omaha.
GENERAL TOUR OF INSPECTION
Busy Program of Inquiry and Con-
ventions Ahead of Man Who Has
Some Important RecOmmen-
dations TO Make.

Walter L. Fisher, secretary Of the in
terror, passed through Omaha yesterday
afternoon, starting on his first trip of field
investigation and inspection since he has
been in charge of the department He
presented the appearance of typical tour
list, having made himself comfortable In
a gray alpaca coat and travelling cap to
match. He is smooth shaven, wears glasses
and talks keen and clear cut.
Accompanying the secretary were F. H.
Newell, head of the reclamation service;
George Cove, private secretary; Robert d.
Henl, Washington representative of Les
lie $ Weekly; Walter T. Fisher and Thomas
Gorham of Boston. p. s. Eustls, general
traffic manager of the Burlington; Gen
eral Passenger Agent Lucius w. Wakeley
of the lines west of the Missouri and d.
Glenn Deaver of the land bureau of the
Burlington Joined here to go along into
wyoming. DIR. Brooks, head of the geo.
logical survery, and Director Holmes of
the bureau of mines are on their way in
advance to Alaska to make a preliminary
investigation. Governor Clark of Alaska
will meet the party at Juneau
During the brief stop an invitation to
spend a day or as much time as he might
spare in Omaha on his return trip in Sep
Victor Rosewater of The Bee, who had
met Mr.. Fisher in Chicago and had also
Travelled in Mexico last year with Mr..
Helnl. The secretary promised to try to
arrange to accept the invitation saying
that while he had travelled this way more
than once he had never stopped off in
Omaha and would like greatly to see the
city. He recalled serving with the late
Edward Rosewater in the Civic Fedora
tons great conference on trusts and talked
familiarly on various western topics
II intend to make a thorough investiga-
ton OF all the government lands and gen.
eral conditions in Alaska, as there is much
work to be done there in the coming
year. and the situation should be known
thoroughly here. On my return here in
September shall hope to make recon-
mendations concerning several Alaskan
problems"
"Do you think It will aid Alaska's de-
velopment to have the coal mines worked
by private companies?' was asked Mr..
Fisher.
II could not say now whether or not II
would be wise to lease the coal lands, but
1 hope to be able to make this point a
part OF my recommendations" said the
secretary. 'The lands open to filing OF
claims shall be part Of my investiga-
ton, so that in the event OF further claims
filed 1 shall be familiar with the ground" i"
Mr.. Fisher expressed the belief that
Alaskan development should be done by
the people who would do the most good
to the country in the next few years.
The first stop will be at Mitchell Neb.,
to inspect the North Platte project in the
land irrigation reclamation work; then at
Huntley. Mont, and shoshone. wyo, 10

CHANGE HITS AT GERRYMANDER
Amendment by Senator burton
Agreed to by Large Majority
Goes to Conferences Between
Two Colnn,sttees.

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-Bearing an in
itiative and referendum feature to safe
guard against gerrymanderng in a num-
ber of states, the congressional reappor-
tionment bill passed the senate today. 1t
fixes the future house membership at 4S3
with two more when Arizona and New
Mexico attain statehood-instead of the
present S9I. There was not even the for
mality of a roll call on the final vote.
Two amendments, both offered by Senator
Burton of Ohio, were attached to the
house measure and on these a conference
with the house will be held, all that stands
in the way Of President Taft's approval of
the bill, which is to take effect March
4, 1913.
Expense Increases 100000.
The increase in the membership OF the
house Will mean an added expense to the
country of approximately $4,000 a year.
The salaries of the forty-two new members
will aggregate $3l5,oOO. Each will have at
least one clerk at $780, which will add
s63, 900 to the total. Mileage and other in
cidental expenses will still further increase
the sum, bringing 1t TO the amount first
named.
Under this decennial reapportionment
there is to be no reduction in the mem
gressional district will contain more than
1900 greater population than at present,
the average district comprising 211,ST un-
der the new plan.
The initiative and referendum provision
was tackled on 10 the bill Just before its
passage today. II was one OF the Burton
amendments. It provided that In case Of
an increase In the representation Of any
state. the redistricting instead of being
done by the state legislature, as provided
by the house bill, should be ''in the manner
provided by the laws" OF the state. thus
leaving the redistricting subject to the in
itiative and referendum laws wherever they
have been placed on a states statute
books
These states have adopted the initiative
and refendum in the form OF constitutional
amendments: Oregon, Oklahoma, Nevada,
Missouri, Montana, South Dakota, Colo
RADIO. Arkansas and Maine.
Utah has adopted a similar amendment,
but the provision is imperative because
OF the failure of the legislature to enact
the necessary accompanying legislation.
Besides these, in the following states
such an amendment has been submitted
by the legislatures, but has not yet been
voted upon: California, Washington, Wyo-
ming. North Dakota, Nebraska, Florida and
Idaho.
Passed by strict Party Vote.
This amendment was agreed to by a
strict party vote, 80 to 20. the republican
senators voting for it and the democrats
against 1t.
The other amendment adopted provided
that candidates for representative or repre-
sentatives-at-laTge shall be nominated in
the same manner as candidates for cover
nor, unless otherwise provided by the laws
OF such states"
In some states the representation is IN
creased by this bill; Through constitutional
Limitation or other cause their legislatures
cannot divide the states in districts. The
house bill provided for an election IN such
case but not for a nomination. and tbs

circuit court, under whose direction the
American Tobacco company will work out
its dissolution, handed down this after
noon, on the mandate of the federal su-
preme court, an order outlining conditions
under which the company may perfect
plans for dissolving. A clause in the order
enjoins the defendants from doing any act

Preliminary plans Of the dislrtegration
of the American Tobacco company were
submitted by its counsel and discussed by
lawyers in the court.
After reciting the decree of the supreme
court, the court serves notice that it will
tie up the companies shipments or ap-
point a receiver. as ordered by the higher
tribunal, should counsel fail to submit a
favorable plan Of dissolution by December

circuit court should grant such an ex-
tension. Leave is given counsel to apply
for more specific directions in this regard
and also to any party to apply from time

conformity with the judgment OF the su-
preme court"
Counsel in the case regard the decree
as enJolning the United Cigar Stores COM

PARIS, Aug. S-John w. Gates had a
sudden sinking spell late this afternoon.
For a moment It seemed that his pulse had

OF recuperation he rallied satisfactorily.
The sinking spell today followed a chill.
The family hastily summoned all the ply
sicians who have been in attendance and
strong restoratives were resorted to with
the desired effect OF bringing the patient
round. Tonight he is not quite so strong
and his lungs are a little more congested.
Nevertheless, the physicians believe there
is no real danger and cherish a hope for
his recovery.

partial insensibility as he knelt beside
his pack or fed the fire, a third to
strike blow from behind that would
render him powerless. But there was
Jomething in this last that was re-
pugnant to him. He remembered that
Jean had saved his life; that in no in.
stance had he given him physical pain
He would watch for an opportunity

Croisset had taken ADVANTAGE of him
but he would not hurt him seriously
It should be as fair a struggle as
Jean had offered him, and with the
handicap in his favor the best man
would win.
On the morning of the fourth day
Rowland was awakened by a sound
that came through the aperture in the
wall. 1t was the sharp yelping bark
of dog, followed an instant later by
the sharper crack Of a whip and a ia
miliar voice.
Jean Croisset had returned.
With a single leap he was out of
his bunk. Half dressed he darted to
the door and crouched there, the mus
: cles of his arms tightening, his body
tense with the gathering forces with
in him.
The spur Of the moment had driven
him to quick decision. His opportu-
nifty would come when Jean Croisset
passed through that door.
