Washington. June 26-The expect
ed vote on the Root amendment to
the wood pulp and paper schedule of
the Canadian reciprocity bill before
adjournment of the senate this aft
ernoon was the overshadowing fea-
ture of today's program of congress.
A little by-play was anticipated in
the house over the urgent deficiency
bill, because of it's inclusion of about
$4,000 to pay the bills of probing
committees, including those investi-
eating the affairs of the steel and
sugar trusts, and expenditures of the
executive departments, but the urgent
deficiency bill always is railroaded
through congress.
The Root amendment was tackled
onto the reciprocity bill by the fin
ance committee almost three weeks
ago. To the section of the agreement
which prescribes that wood pulp,
print paper. paper board, etc., shall
! be admitted free of duty from Can
ada, the amendment adds these
words: when the president of the
United States shall have satisfactory
evidence and shall make proclama-
tion that such wood pulp. paper and
board, being the product of the Unit
ed States, are admitted into Canada
and every province thereof free of
duty
Taft, Democratic leader Under

amending provision, if adopted, as
fatal to the agreement

Some of them have asserted their

Legislative and executive channels

veto threat.
There is a decided lack of Democra-

CREATES FUR0R
BY PLAIN SPEECH
Andrew Fisher Voices Ideas
Almost Anarchistic to
the English Mind

London, June 26-Andrew Fisher,
who left Scotland, where he worked
as pit boy, to seek employment in
the mines of Australia, and is now
back as prime minister of the COM
monwealth, has been shocking the
English by his outspokenness, and his
support of ideas which here are con-
sidered almost anarchistic.
Mr.. Fisher is no respecter Of per-
sons. His speech in which he at
tackled James Keir Hardie for that
gentleman's opposition to ornaments,
showed that the ideas of Australian
and English labor leaders differ radi-
cally. Now he has been speaking to
London fnanciers, who have interests
in Australia, in even palmer terms.
A deputation from companies owning
large tracts of land in Australia wait
ed upon him to protest against the
new Australian land tax, which aims
at breaking up large estates. The
spokesman Of the deputation said the
tax would keep capital out of Aus
tralia.
Mr.. Fishers reply was:
"You don't know what you are talk
ing about" and then proceeded to
show how, in his mind, the large land
owner retarded the progress OF a
country by tying up his land and
holding it for speculation.
Declines Titles.
Mr.. Fisher has thus far declined all
titles and degrees offered him. He
did not appear at Oxford, which was
, to confer a degree upon him in COM
mon with other prime ministers, and
he declined degree offered by Cam
!, bridge.
Lord Roseberry has exploded the
idea that an Englishman's house is
his CASTLE" The former premier has
discovered that in the finance act of
last year, which provided for the
valuation of land, there is a clause
which permits valuer to enter any
house and inspect it at his will.
Letter Of Protest.
Lord Roseberry. accepting the
privilege of every Englishman, wrcte
to the press letter of protest, con-
Guiding thus:
There is thus definite end of the
proud boasts of centuries that an
AAOuo0 ll1o CdollC. " e
all remember Chatham's famous
boast, the poorest man may in his
cottage bid defiance to all the forces
of the crown, and so forth. l warn
all speech-day celebrations of this
recitation, for it is now mockery
and a deception. We are a tanner
race now"
Sir Harry Poland, an eminent
lawyer, undertook to reply to Lord
Roseberry and established that the
boast has been "a mockery and a de-
ception" for nearly seventy years and
further that under the finance act OF
1894, when Lord Roseberry was a
member of the then Liberal govern
ment, there was an exactly similar
provision. AS long ago as 1886 i'll
spectors We're given the right to en-
ter a house.

BUDGET SYSTEM
Kentucky Democrat is Urging That
Plan for United States.

Washington, June ga budget sys-
tenn for the United States may be
adopted by the democratic house. 1t
is being urged by Representative
Sherley of Kentucky, an influential
member Of the majority, who is sup
ported by many of his colleagues. Mr..
Sherley wants the house to name a
committee on the budget. which shall
each year determine the total amount
of appropriations to be made, and ap-
portion this total fairly between the
committees having great appropria-
tion bills in charge. The work of the
budget committee would, of course,
be subject to approval by the house.

The government charged against
Cunningham and his associates that
the entries of the coal lands were
made in pursuance of an understand
ing and agreement entered into by all
claimants prior to the location, to
combine the several claims for joint
use and benefit Of all. 1t was further
claimed that the entries were made
with the unlawful purpose that they
should insure to use and benefit Of
an association or corporation.
After reviewing all of the facts
brought out at the various trials and
bearings in the cases extending over
a period of several years and includ-
ing final hearings recently attended by
Mr. Fisher himself, Mr.. bennett
reported conclusively that the claims
had no legal standing and ordered
them cancelled. Fisher promptly ap-
proved this decision, although to COM
plete the record he must do so formal
ly upon appeal to him.

FISHER DECLARES COAL IS NEEDED
FOR ALASKAN Development
Morgan Guggcnheim Syndicate is

ing is Affirmed-May be an Appeal
on Several Points of Law.

Washington, June 26.-The famous
Cunningham Alaskan coal land claims,
through which 1t has been alleged that
the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate had
planned to extend their vast interests
in Alaska and to control one of the
most valuable coal fields in the world,
were today finally disallowed by the
department Of the interior
Secretary of Interior Walter Fisher,
having approved the departments de-
cision as handed down by Fred Den
nett, commissioner of the land office,
the last door is believed to have been
closed to the Cunningham claimants.
Their attorneys have threatened an
appeal to the United States supreme
court, but such appeal can be based
only on some point Of law involved
and not on the findings of fact as an
nounced by the department.
The Cunningham claims have been
in the public eye constantly for more
than two years past. They brought
about the Ballinger-Pinchot investiga-
ton by congress and dismissal from
the public service of Chief Forester
Clifford Pinchot, Louis R. CLAWS, chief
of the field division in the land office,
and several minor officials. Both Pin
chot and CLAWS were dismissed for
INSTRUMENTATION incident to their at
tacks on former Secretary Ballinger
whom they claimed, was favorably dis
posed toward the claims.
Declares it Final.
In announcing the decision of the
department, Secretary Fisher, who
succeeded Ballinger last March, de-
clared that the new coal land laws are
needed in Alaska if that territory is
to be developed properly. In the
state the secretary said:
"This is the final decision of the
Cunningham claims so far as the de-
partment of the interior is concerned
Any further proceedings will be mere
ly formal for the purpose of perfect
ing the record in case the claimants
think there are questions of law which
they desire to present to the courts
:. IS my understanding that it is con-
ceded that the findings upon facts by
the department are conclusive. 1t is
the intention of the department to pro-
ceed at once to the final determina-
tion of all Alaska coal claims so far
as this can properly be done, denying
those that should be denied and
those that should be granted as rapid
ly as possible.

w. n. Chandler of Milton, Tries Meth
cd to Save His Peaches from Frost
After many years of speculation
and inaction Delaware fruit growers
have at last begun to heat their
orchards-at least one Delawarean
having put the heating system to a
test on large scale. The orchard
of W. H.. Chandler, in charge of
Juniper Chase" at Milton, has
been equipped with 1,500 orchard
heaters and natives from miles
visit the peach orchards and wonder
what the owner is thinking about.
Each heater has a gallon oil
equipment which will burn twelve
hours, making 4,500 gallons of oil
necessary to supply them every
night they burn. A tank car at
the railroad station nearby having
5000 gallons capacity is used to
draw from until the April frosts-
two of which were noticed this week
are over. Fifty of the heaters
cover one acre of ground. Visitors
predict that Mr.. Chandler has saved
his peaches and will reap a big harv'
est.
