Paintings Often
Hung Too High

The hanging Of pictures is an impor-
tant item in the appearance of a room.
They should never be hung so high
that one has to look up in order to see
them.
The center of the subject should be on
a level with the line of vision Of a per-
son of average height-that is. about
five and one-haf feet from the floor.
{ AS to the grouping Of pictures, each
should consult her own individual taste.
good general rule, however, to go
by is this: Never hang oil paintings
near water colors. The styles are too
distinct. Water colors may be placed
I'm the company of pastels, etchings,
photographs, and even enRravings. An
exceptionally good oil painting should
occupy a single wall space. Dark and
heavily shaded pictures should hang
away from the light.
Water colors and delicately toned pas
tells, as well as etchings, should be
placed in strong light. Harmony should
be the main feature of picture hanging
in general The eve should be able to
travel along evenly and in a restful
way from one picture to another.
III this is not possible, IL contrast in
color. either OF tone or Of frame, is
demanded. there is something wrong.
and the sooner it is remedied the better.

TAFT URGED TO AID
LAND CLAUSE FIGHT
West Opposes Trying APP
peal Cases In District
Supreme Court.

President Taft was appealed to by
Former Senator Teller and Represen-
tative Taylor Of Colorado today to help
to defeat the section of the Mondell
bill providing that appeals in land con-
test cases from the Department of the
Interior be tried in the Supreme Court
of the District.
These Westerners told the President
today that the bill should provide that
appeals in such cases be taken to the
United States Circuit Court of the
country, and that the court in each cir
cult have jurisdiction over the appeals
arising from their own territory. They
said it would be a hardship upon liti
gants to be forced to come to Washing
ton themselves with their records and
witnesses, to hire Washington lawyers
when the cases could as well be tried in
their home circuits.
Appeals Number 10000.
Representative Taylor told the Presi-
dent that there were more than 10000
appeal cases from the Land Office, at
least 5000 of which were from his own
State OF Colorado.
He said to force these appellants to
come to Washington would not only
place them at disadvantage during the
trial, but would entail upon them great
expense which should not be permitted.
The most important cases which would
at once come up in the District court
should the Mondell bill pass would be
the Cunningham coal claims in Alas
ka. Secretary Ballinger had recon-
mended to the President that these ap-
peals be passed on by the courts and had
recommended that the Supreme Court
Of the District be given Jurisdiction.
Favored by Taft.
President Taft approved of the idea
and recommended to Congress that such
action be taken. This at once aroused
the followers of Pinchot, who contend
that the Department of Interior should
pass finally upon land claims of this
kind and should take the responsibility
for what was done. The insurgents
have, therefore, fought the bill as a
whole.
Now the Westerners come along and
oppose the measure on account of the
provision requiring the appellants to
come all the way to Washington to try
their appeals.
II is understood that the President
sees the hardship imposed in this pro-
vision, and is willing that the bill be
modified to the extent of allowing ap-
peals to be tried in the United States
circuit courts Of the West.

DODSWORTH DENIES
STORY Of BRIBERY
Editors Testimony Before
Committee At Variance
With Brothers.

Another of the Dodswcrth brothers,
owners of the Journal of Commerce,
of New York, appeared today before the
House committee investigating an al
legged ship subsidy lobby, but this wit
ness declined to take seriously the va
rious bribery offers declared to have
been made that journal by represent
atives Of subsidy interests.
In fact, John o. Dodsworth, Inanag-
ing editor Of the paper, said that his
brother. Alfred W. Dcdsworth, was in
error when the latter testified last week
that he, John O., had heard an offer of
100000 made.
Members Of the committee endeavorcd
fer some time this morning to reconcile
the testimony of the two brothers. John
o. Dodsworth, who appeared before the
committee last session, failed to tell it
Of any bribery attempts. Alfred W.
came along last week and said that no
less than five offers had been submitted
to the paper. John O., therefore. was
recalled to explain why he did not tell
this some months ago.
List of Questions.
Representative Longworth insisted
upon knowing whether the witness had
helped in the preparation of a list of
questions which A. w. Dodsworth re-
quested the committee to ask him, and
which Chairman Olcott propounded in
the form proposed by A. w. Dodsworth.
Il saw the questions, but we didn' t
discuss it before my brother came down
here" said John o. Dodsworth. II was
inclined to think that these bribery Of
fers should not be paraded. and l still
regard them as of no consequence, ex-
cept, perhaps, to advertise the Journal
of Commerce.
"All I know about those questions"
he continued, "iS that my brother
wanted to vindicate the paper on ac-
count of the slurs that have been cast
upon it because of its anti-subsidy pol
ICY"
"Graft Proposition"
Mr.. Dodsworth caused Chairman Oh
colt to sit up and take notice when he
said that ship subsidy was a graft
proposition, anyway"
Mr.. Olcott later obtained qualifica-
ton of the statement. "Oh, there are
some honest men in favor of ship sub
sidy," said Mr.. Dodsworth.
Charles A. Conant, the Washington
correspondent of the paper, who, A. w.
Dodsworth testified, transmitted the Of
fer of the Spanish representatives to
the New York office about the time OF
the beginning of the war, will go on
the stand this afternoon. Mr.. Conant
denies emphatically that he ever wrote
the New York office of any offer from
the Spanish government.

Hope to Break New York
Deadlock This Week

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 3O.-BeIief
that the Senatorial deadlock will be
broken before the end of the week
was manifested in all quarters here
today. Though neither insurgents nor
regulars would make any statement to
that effect they are basing their hopes
on the compromise efforts being made
to get both William Sheehan and Ed
ward NJ. Shepard to withdraw. If they
can be induced to do so another Demo-
cratic caucus will be called and an
agreement quickly reached on a sue
Cessor to Depew.
Though the conflict of the insurgents
and Tammany Hall men has thus far
blocked active legislative work the SEN
ate and assembly will get down to
real business this week All hope that
the program could be carried out in
time for adjournment in April has
been shattered, but business will be
rushed now and put in condition for
prompt action as soon as the Senate
rial battle ends.

Cornell Hockey Team
Expects One Record

NEW YORK. Jan. 3O.-The Cornell
hockey team is likely to break one
record this year. the winning of the
championship of the intercollegiate
hockey league in its first year in the
league. Cornell was not admitted to
the league until after the close of
last season and there were few out
side the Ithacan enthusiasts who had
any idea that the team would rush
to the front. Cornell now has VIC
tories over Harvard. Yale, and Prince
ton to its credit and no team has yet
been able to take its measure
AS the Comedians have been play
ing away from home so far, there is
good reason to believe that they will
continue to win when on their own

made.
The people | represent in the
Fourth senatorial district especially
object to this plan, damned through
the legislature, said Senator Boden-
stab. 1T means they will be without
a representative in the senate for
the next two years, for they have
changed my district from the Fourth
to the Ninth, thus putting it among
the odd numbers, which will prevent
an election next year"
Some of the congressman who were
