The section of the bill which has given

And for that purpose the sum OF fifty

Poured Oil on Waters.

Mr. Hamlin poured oil on the waters
by saying he was inclined to believe
that Secretary Know knew nothing be-
yond what he had already told the COM
mlttee.
Il hope that belief goes beyond an in
clination," the Secretary of State re-
piled.
1t does said Mr.. Hamlin.
The documents submitted by Mr.. Knox
do not show what became of the 81 600
paid out by tile Treasury over and above
the. $3.50 charged by Albert Rosenthal, the
Philadelphia artist who painted the por-
trait of William X. Day. former Secre-
taty of State and now an associate jus
tice of the United States Supreme Court.
one Of the papers handed TO the COM
mittee by Mr. Knox was a letter from
William IL. Michael chief clerk of the
department at the time, and who in the
til II instance received the $3.50. The
letter, written 10 Secretary Root in 1906,
says that the difference of $3.50 was
turned over 10 Secretary of State John
Hay 10 pay confidential accounts, pre-
suniably. in connection with Chinese af-

stated that il was his intention that II

of today's developments. the situation

venting the early passage OF the mea-
sure
The matter was first brought TO the at
tention of the chamber at its meeting
Tuesday night. wien -. J. Callahan pre-
scented a resolution indorsing the Calm
ger bill. C. Z. Lancaster offered sub
stitute to the effect that the chamber
would indorse the bill provided the eN-
pense is to be borne equally by the local
and national governments. The amend
ment was carried.
After the meeting several members who
had supported the Lancaster amendment
secured a copy Of the bill and. after eS-
aiming it, expressed the belief that it
did not violate the half-and-half principle
and that the amendment was unneces-
sary.
They requested an immediate reassem-

WANTS TO Be MARRIED
MONDAY BY PRESIDENT

A New Jersey man who wants to be
married by President Taft next Monday
the day of the Presidents silver we'd
ding anniversary, will be disappointed to
know that the President has no power to
perform a marriage ceremony in the
District. The law here confines the pleas
ure of this sort of work to Justices of
the courts of record and to ministers of
the gospel.
The New Jersey man, whose name and
town are withheld, wrote to the Presi-
dent saying that he had always had a
desire Ito be married by the President of
the good old l.. S. A." and suggested
that inasmuch as the President is to
celebrate his wedding anniversary next
Monday he thought 1T would be a good
idea to pull off both events at the same
time so as to add to the happiness of
the occasion.
This Is one of the first requests the
President has had to join happy souls in

On the occasion of their silver we'd
recipients of some magnificent presents
The President. when he thought of cell
ebrating his silver wedding, never once
gave thought to presents and is under
stood to have expressed the wish that
his friends would forget remembrances
of this sort. This will not be done. how
ever. and the Washington jewellers are
going to do big business this week.
The Gridiron Club of this city has ar
ranged for one of the most notable gifts,
a silver water pitcher and tray of CO.
lonial style. The inscription or the
pitcher will be III. H. t." the initials
OF Mrs. Taft. with "1sS6-19l1' and the
gridiron engraved below. The tray will
bear, THE Grdiron Club. 1SS6-191l, -
with an engraving of the gridiron.

Chamber OF Commerce. today called a
special meeting Of the directors for next
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock to investi-
gate the matter.
Following on this announcement SEN
ator Gallinger this afternoon stated
that he had observed there might be
some confusion over the wording of the
bill, and that lie hoped the District
Commissioners would suggest any
changes they deem necessary to elimi-
nate any possible misinterpretation of
the purpose Of the measure.
Senator Gallnger said that he intro
duced the bill with the intention that
il should comply with the half-and-Aai =
principle. as established by the law OF
1875. and that he intends to do all IN
his power to have the property acquired
on that basis.

As 10 the mysterious finding of the
voucher on tie floor Of the disbursng

There is no doubt of it, said Mr..
Knox
Before the hearing began Mr.. Knox
made IA pointed observation in the pres

he turned 10 MIR. Hamlin and said
MIR Chairman, you have played this
up in iirst-clasS style. If you ever get

Contention of Warder.

Warder raised the point that the land
had been thrown into the United States
by a sudden change of the river. and
that therefore, it belonged to Mexico.
The treaty of the United States and
Mexico provides that where the river
makes sudden change the land thrown
from one country to the other remains
the property of the country to which 1t
formerly belonged. but If the change
is gradual, by erosion, the territory be-
longs to the country into which 1t is
thrown.
The United States has commended that
the change in the river has been gradual,
but Mexico cites numerous full-grOwn
trees between the former river channel
and the present river on American soil
as proof that the change had not been
gradual, else the trees would have been
washed away.

Praise for BeattIe Jury.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The members of the jury who found
Clay Beattie, jr, guilty of muir
der in the first degree are to be compi-
mented for the intelligence they as
played in reaching a verdict in sucn a
short space of time. Although the evil
dence against Beattie was so great
that it was practically impossible for
him to be acquitted, 1t was expected
that there would be a disagreement
which would tie up the case for several
hours. This is generally the way, ever
though the accused be sure of eonvic-
ton.
New Jersey must now divide Witr
Virginia in claiming credit for the
speedy execution of Justice. still We
have set the precedent, n that is
surely a great honor.

AID FOR THE ANTY-PlSTOL LAW.

I is proposed in New York to organize a society for the en-.
forcement of the concealed weapon law" to be incorporated
by the Legislature. One of the promoters says; "The police,
with their many duties. cannot cope with the situation, and the
society would devote its energies, through a force of agents. to
suppressing the carrying of concealed weapons. There are places
in New York city where gangs hire guns for a quarter a night
when they plan to shoot up other gangs. Strip a man absolutely
of a deadly weapon and he becomes a coward What is said
here is true. The law can never be adequately enforced by the
police alone. 1t could be well enforced by organized citizen effort.
Private agents would find means of detecting the CARRYING of deadly
weapons and could point out the Offenders to the police.

CONGRESS- AND HIGH PRICES.

AVH len Congress meets in December the excessive cost of
WV the necessaries o. life will be one of the first subjects to
be brought up. Representatives coming fresh from their
constituents and knowing the popular feeling will be full of zeal
for remedial legislation. One means of relief is tariff reduction,
but the country wants, also, to be rescued from the trade combi-
nations that hold it in their grip, taking heavy toll alike from the
producer and the consumer. The increasing price of sugar, a trust
controlled article, is not the least of the corporations that the
public is now subjected to. AS winter draws near coal prices will
go up. Coal also is a trustcontrolled article. The American
public looks to Congress at the next session for some remedy for
this intoerabLe state of things.

CHAMP CLARK,s WELCOME HOME.

oa HERE was a time when Speaker Champ Clark was held up
to some ridicule by soothing Northern newspapers because
of his peculiar cognomen. The ridicule ceased when the
abilities of this legislator began to be manifested in Congress and
on the platform. Champ Clark conquered his way in the national
legislature until he became the Democratic leader of the House
and when the people elected a Democratic majority he was the
logical and undisputed choice for speaker. The record of the spe-
cal session is the best evidence of the splendid fitness of Champ
Clark as presiding officer. 1t is due largely to him that the Demo
cratic program was carried out without a break. Yesterday the
speaker was greeted by 10000 people in his home town in Missouri
and the ovation he received was richly deserved.

TROUBLES IN CHINA.

H07 HINA is always having its troubles and there is a plenty of
" trouble now. River floods have desolated fertile valleys,
drowned thousands of natives. ruined crops and brought
about conditions that mean famine and starvation for hundreds of
thousands of the impoverished population. In other parts of China
antiforegn riots are in progress, and foreigners are fleeing from
native wrath. In a vast country like China these are only local dis
turbances and are looked upon phnosophicauy at Pekin. except as
they may involve foreign complications. as the Boxer trouble did.
But things have changed for China. In wears past the Western
world heard only dimly of happenings in that country, however
serious, and was very little concerned about them. Now Chinese
local affairs have Il material interest for the rest of the world, for
they affect the welfare of Europe and America.
