Bankers Rsmain In Prison,

WASHINGTON, May 24.-President
Taft tonight denied the application
for pardon OF Charles M. Morse, of
New York and j. r. Walsh of Chicago,
the two most prominent bankers ever
convicted and sentencd to federal
prisons under the national banking
laws.
Not only did the president refuse to
pardon them, but be also declined to
exercise any other executive clemency
in their cases to shorten their sen.
tences imposed by the courts.
In denying the pardons the presi.
dent took firm stand that the ma
tional banking laws or any other laws
must be upheld when they affect the
rich man even more than when they
affect the poor. The record in the
Walsh case, the president said,
"shows moral turpitude of that in.
sidious and dangerous kind, to punish
which the national banking laws were
especially enacted

Cheaper Wheat In Canada,

WASHINGTON, May 27.-In oppos.

ment before the senate finance com.
mittee today, Prot. A. E. Chamber
lain OF South Dakota, by an elabor.
ate array OF statistics, sought to show
that the cost OF production of q bushel
OF wheat in the United States was 81
cents and in Canada 40 cents. He de.
clared that the South Dakota farmers
could not compete with the Canadi ans
in producing other staple crops.
Powerful corporations, the profes.
sor said, favor reciprocity In order
that they may sell at fancy prices
great stretches of land. He declared
the Hudson Bay company, which he
said was controlled by Wall street,
owns $500, 200 acres, and the Cana.
dians control an empire that would
become highly valuable if the tariff
bars were lowered.

Dairymen Will Test Law.

GREAT FALLS, May 25.-To prevent
the state of Montana through DR.. M.
E. Knowles, state veterinarian, and
A. j. Butterfield, his deputy, from
killing 3S of his dairy herd. K. B.
McIver, chairman of the board OF
county commissioners and ex-oficio
chairman of the board of health of
Cascade county, has secured an in
junction restraining the officer from
carrying out their plans to kill the
animals. The fight over the state law
which Attorney General Galen has
held, requires that all cows showing
a reaction under the tuberculosis test,
and thereby held to be affected with
tuberculosis, be killed or quarantined, ,
is thus brought to the courts.
The Mc1ver people contend that the
law is unconstitutional al because it al.
lows the state to take q mans prop.
erty without due remuneratio The
suit comes following the order OF the
state veterinary to kill, based on q
test OF 95 cattle in the McIver herd.
Mr.. Mc1ver is the largest dairyman
in the county and has q herd of
about 200 head. The testing is going

Trees and Mind.

The effect of wind upon trees is
powerful. Even the presence or alb
sence of forests may be determined
by the character Of the prevailing
wind or the conditions that modify it.
The wind acts as drying agent, CIV
ing special aspect to many plants
When it is almost always from the
same quarter the plants show greater
development upon one side. Trees are
smaller on the windward edges Of for
ests, and trunks and branches are
bent to leeward. The deformations
are most marked near the sea or In
fat regions. The cherry, plum, wal.
nut, black poplar, ash and certain
pines are very sensitive to the wind,
but mountain pines and certain frs
offer great powers Of resistance and
these are recommended for reforesting
wind swept lands.

Senators Oppose Direct Elections

WASHINGTON, May 22.-No popul ar
demand exists for a change in the
constitution so as to deprive congress
of the right TO supervise the election
OF United States senator's. So as.
serted a minority of the members of
the senate committee on the judiciary,
in a report filed today. The report
opposed the withdrawal of such rights
of supervision from congress as is
contemplated in the plan for the Sc.
lection of senators by direct vote OF
the people. 1t was signed by Sena.
tors Clark, Cummins, Dillingham;,
Sutherland, Brandege and Hoot. all
republicans.
The report ignores the question of
direct elections. and deals entirely
with that of supervision, which is de-
clared to be the more important fea.
ture of the house election resolution
now before the senate, on a report
from the majority on the judiciary
committee.

ers' association. The paper makers,
Mr.. Norris said, have made obvious
efforts to restrict production and to
starve the print paper market In order
to maintain prices at good figure.
have sold the paper abroad cheaper
than in this country. and have arrayed
themselves against open prices and
against public quotations.
In an effort to prevent such secret
fixing of prices, Mr.. Norris said he
had made efforts to buy paper and to
pay cash for it., but that only two
mills out of fifty in this country had
sold to him.
The reason for this refusal he
claimed was that the paper makers
did not want a public quotation of
their prices, as he would have sold the
paper at auction, thus making the
prices public.
