NORTON GIVES A DINNER
TO HILLES, HIS SUCCESSOR
Newspaper Men Present. and the President Drops in
for HandShake.

The verses from Lcviticus referred to
in the letter read as follows:
And when he hath made an end OF
reconciling the holy place, and the taber-
nacle of the congregation, and the altar,
he shall bring the live goat
And Aaron shall lay both his hands
upon the head OF the live goat. and con-
fess over him all the iniquities of the chill
dren of Israel and all their transgres-
sions in all their sins, putting them upon
the head OF the goat, and shall send him
away by the hand of a fit man into the
wilderness.
And the goat shall bear upon him all
their iniquities unto a land not inhab-
tied: and he shall let go the goat in the
wilderness"
Makes Formal Announcement
- In making the formal announcement
that Mr.. Hilles would become the next
secretary to the President, it was made
known that he had agreed to take the
position only after he had arranged with
Edmund Dwight, of New York, general
agent for the Employers Liability Assur-
ance Company of London, to cancel a
contract entered into with Mr.. Dwight
several months ago. Mr.. Dwight, it was
explained. came to Washington by invi-
tation on February 20, and after a con-
ference with President Taft. and with the
assent of Mr.. Hilles. agreed that the con-
tract should be nullified.
The luncheon guests were mainly news
paper correspondents who were stationed
at Beverly last summer. The following
is partial list OF those who participated:
Charles D. Hilles, Harry l. Dunlap,
Sherman Allen. Robert Dougan. Perry
Arnold, Robert T. Small, William Hoster,
Robert d. Heinl, Oscar King Davis,
Rudolph Forster. Ernest G. Walker, Col.
Cosby, w. W. Price, John P. Gavit, Fred
Starek, Gus ]. Karger. Robert o. Bailey,
Capt. Butt, and DR.. Cleveland.

RECIPROCITY FIRST
ON LIST IN HOUSE
Democrats Then Will Tinker
with the Tariff.

Democratic leaders in the House have
special session to be convened on April
The House Democrats will pass the Ca
madam reciprocity agreement, revise the
wool and possibly part of the cotton
schedule of the PayneAldrich tariff law.
and will then pass a bill reducing duties
on about one hundred items, all neces-
sAies of life, including certain articles
OF wearing apparel With this accom-
plished, the Democrats, according to pres
ent plans, will postpone a general re-
vision of the tariff until later. after they
have had an opportunity to make a more
complete investigation.
There is a probability that the propo-
sition of amending the United States
Copstitution so as to permit of the direct
election of Senators also will be taken
up in the coming special session.
This proposition failed by a narrow
margin in the session just ended, and the
purpose of the Democratic leaders will
be to push this measure through and thus
emphasize still further the desire of the
Democrats to respond to the-wishes of
the people as compared with the Con-
GTess controlled by Republicans. There
is little doubt that the direct election
proposition will be passed by the next
Congress. if it is taken up.
The only other legislation that is likely
to be touched by the Democrats in the
special session. is reapportionment bill.
This bill increasing the house member
ship TO 433 failed in the Senate in the
closing hours. chiefly through the OPP
position of Senators Root and Depew.
The passage of reapportionment bill be-
fore next December would result in con-
siderable advantage to the Democrats. as
II would make it possible for them to
eerrymander several States which may
fall into the hands of Republicans next
fall.

ume of business DECREASE
THEIR SELLING COST by
reason of that volume, while
merchants who do not advertise
and who do not get the volume
of business, are compelled to
sell their merchandise at greater
selling cost
The merchant who will not
advertise LETS BUSINESS
SLIP THROUGH HIS FIN
GERS, and permits it to 60 to
the man who does advertise, who
tells the public where he is, what
he has to sell, and how he sells it.
l am told that stores that do
not advertise have a SELLING
COST in excess of 800, and
that it sometimes goes as high
as 45% to 500.
Stores that advertise operate
on selling cost of 209o to 269o,
which includes the money spent
for advertising, rent, heat, light,
help, insurance, and all neces-
sary and fixed charges.
1t seems obvious that mer-
chants who advertise sell their
merchandise to the consumer
much cheaper than the merchant
who does not advertise.
The public is wise in patron
i1ng merchants and manufac-
turers who advertise.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C. FREEMAN

WHO PAYS for the adver-
tising?
Two answers are ordinarily
given
One THE ADVERTISER
pays for it.
Two-THE CONSUMER
pays the bills.
Answer two" is the more
common because people have a
notion that merchant is COM
PEELED to add a higher profit in
order to meet the cost of adver-
tising.
Did you ever hear this answer
that THOSE WHO DO NOT
ADVERTISE PAY THE
BILLS OF THOSE WHO DO
ADVERTISE?
Just think it over. Is it not,
after all, the correct answer?
Who are the men best known
in every ommunity? ARE
THEY NOT THE ADVER-
TISERS? Do they not get the
bulk of the trade?
The people in every community
spend about the same proper
ton of their incomes with the
merchants, and is not the bulk
of this proportion spent in the
stores that advertise?

Publications. on Elevation by Pope
Plus Pour In.

Congratulations from Catholic church
men all over the country. and men in
all walks of life, including non-Catholics
as well, have been received by Rev.
DR.. William T. Russell, pastor of St.
Patrick's Church, since the recent an
nouncement Of his elevation by Pope
Plus to the high ecclesiastical dignity OF
of the Roman Catholic Church.
It could not be learned at the rectory
last night from whom the messages Of
were received, as Rev.
DR.. Russell declared it to be too per-
sonal a matter to make public, but it
is understood that the highest churchmen
in the Catholic Church. as well as gov

list.
Not until Cardinal Gibbons returns

FOLLY FOR FIREMEN
Musical instruments Re-
moved from Burning Shed.
TEMPTED TO BLOW TUNES
miscellaneous Collection of Melody
makers Saved by Truckmen, who
CrOwd-Owner Says He VIII Still
Collect Marine Band Relics.

A blaze which destroyed a few sheds
in the rear of us. 10, and 30 Seventh
street southeast yesterday morning at 10
O'Clock afforded plenty of amusement for
a crowd of 500 persons. when the truck
men. under Capt Hooper. of No. Z were
directed to remove a miscellaneous as
sortment of musical instruments stored
in the rear OF Fred Pfeiffers house.
Pfeiffer, who whacks the big drum in
the Marine Band. had collected a large
number n condemned instruments that
are from time to time offered for sale at
auction by the Navy Department He
had stored in the upper story OF his
shed about every known musical instru-
ment. from a bull fiddle to a triangle.
Carried from Shed.
Saxaphones, bassoons. clarinets. drums
of various sizes. oboes, helicons.
cymbals. and many other instruments
that were the working tools of musicians
OF other days. when Freis, Scala, Schnei-
der, Sousa, and FancuiIli directed the ef-
forts OF the Marine Band, were carried
down the steps by the firemen. who could
not resist the temptation. to blow, beat,
or twang the Instruments.
While the salvage of these old relics
was going on the fire-fighter "on parade"
reminded one of a hastily organized
country band going to a German picnic
on a rainy day. Pfeiffer assisted in the
rescue of his treasured relics. At one
time he was obliged to tap a bass drum,
that had become filed with water, be-
fore he could carry it down the stairway.
In the absence of a spigot of the regula-
ton kind he tapped the drum with a
yellow clarionet that was the instrument
which former Conductor Louis Schneider,
of the Marine Band, played upon. Neapol-
itan violinS were floating about like gon-
dolas, while a big bass fiddle weathered
the deluge from the hose and sailed
placidly into the back yard.
Destroyed in Blaze.
An alto horn, half filled with water and
near the hottest &rt of the fire, seemed
vainly struggling to play a swan song
on itself, the steam putting musically
from both mouthpiece and bell. Frank
Lusby drumsticks, Fanciulli cIarionets,
Sousa trombones, Fred Prospect flutes,
Santelmann vfolins, Baptista clarinets,
John Pistorio cymbals were either de-
stroyed or injured beyond repair in the
little blaze.
However Pfeiffer is nothing daunted and
declared he will continue collecting these
old relics as long as Uncle Sam puts
them up for sale. Mr.. Pfeiffer estimates
his loss at about $500.

persons were trampled to death at sha

horde 81 starving Chinese fought for the
food which missionaries were attempting
to distribute. A great many others were
injured
The work of relief is attended with some
peril to those who have taken supplies into
the famine districts, as the natives in
many instances are mad with deprivations.
Today a considerable amount Of food
stuff was received by the missionaries,
who Immediately planned a systematic dis
tribution. Their work was hardly begun
when thousands Of desperate men, women
and children who had learned that there
was a chance of their hunger being half
satisfied swooped down on the supply
depot.
An uncomfortable riot followed. Each
fought for himself ana the weaker went
down and were ruthlessly trampled The
fighting continued as long there APP
peared to be anything to fight for The

Drastic Measures.

HONOLULU, March 3.-The thirteenth
case in the outbreak of cholera in Homo
lulu was reported yesterday. Indications
are that the disease is widely scattered
the last cases appearing in different por-
tons Of the city.
As a result Of the spread of cholera. the
territorial Board OF Health today ordered
all poe factories to suspend until further
notice.
resolution was, at once introduced in
the legislature demanding an investigation
as to whether the health authorities were
authorized under the law to enforce such
an order, the Hawaiians demanding the
means to supply this staple food product
The Board of Health today also extended
the area in which fishing and beach bath
ing is prohibited. The army and navy
posts here are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
OF quarantining against the rest Of Homo
lulu
The steamship companies are advertising
that all booking passengers will be re-
quired to go into quarantine for five days
before departure on steamers.
Bishop Leibert of the Catholic mission
here has suspended until further notice
all church laws and regulations regarding
abstinence and fasting at this Lenten sea-
son. 1t is generally believed here that the
cholera was brought from the Philippines
by laborers imported from the islands.

Representative Johnson Of Kentucky
Asserts Resident Of Washington
Makes Unusual Claim.

WASHINGTON, March S.-That a resi-
dent Of Washington whom he named had
represented himself to him and other con-
gressmen as able, through the knights of
Columbus. to deliver for a suitable con-
sideration, Catholic votes" in large blocks
in various districts throughout the coun-
try was asserted on the floor of the house
today by Representative Ben H. johnson
of Kentucky. The assertion caused much
private discussion, but there was no COM
ment on the floor and no action was
taken.
Mr.. Johnson said that the offer was
made to him four years ago Of 400 such
votes in his district for his reelection, in
return for a money consideration. He
said he received a letter inviting him to
meet the writer, whom he named, and that
the offer was made at that meeting. He
asserted that other members of congress
had more recent received similar offers
The statement was made In connection
with the consideration Of q bill for chang
ing the name of street in Washington

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 3.-(SpeciHl0
1t is reported that the attorney general
viii probably make an attempt to recover
from Edward Gillette, former state treas
urer of Wyoming certain sums OF money
expended by him from his contingent fund
for his expenses in travelling to and from
his home at Sheridan to the state capital
here and also for an amount spent by Mr..
Gillette on a trip 10 New York, In which
the state is said TO have had no interest
In the aggregate these sums amount to
several hundred dollars.
1t is said that during the early days Of
Mr.. Gillette's incumbency of the office
of state treasurer, he presented bills for
travelling expenses to the state board OF
charities and reform, but the board re-
fused to allow same, and hence he was
either compelled TO pay them out Of his
own pocket or out OF his contingent fund
as state treasurer and the records show
that he paid many OF the items out OF his
contingent fund.

Extra Session Sure
if Mccall Bill is Not
Passed by Senate
Indications Now that President Will
Call Lawmakers Together
March Is.

WASHINGTON, March s.--From admins
trauon circles today comes an uniquovical
statement that an extra session of con-
gress is inevitable unless the senate before
noon tomorrow passes the pending bill
providing FOR reciprocity with Canada
This statement was called forth by the
circulation OF a rumor last night that the
president was to consult with Counsel Cen
eral John G. Foster, just arrived from
Ottawa. and with a member Of the Cana
dian cabinet regarding the feasibility of
deferring final action upon the reciprocity
agreement until next winter.
Eleven days after congress adjourns to-
morrow it probably will be called together
in extra session. March Is was the date
given today at the White House as the
time which President Taft in all probability
would select Practically all hope has been
abandoned by the administration OF getting
reciprocity through before congress ad-
journs.
Republican leaders have urged on the
president the advisability Of calling the ses-
sion as early as possible so that it will not
be necessary to sit during the heat of sum
mer, as was the case during the days Of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill

pamphlet form the expenditures from con-
tingent funds by state officers, boards and
commissions during the years 1909 and 1870
These statements show that in many In
stances officers and members Of boards or
commissions paid tips to porters out OF
their contingent funds, along with many
other items to which the people of the
state are Directing. These officers Justify
their action by the statement that they
were in the employ of the state and while
absent from Cheyenne they were on state
business and It was not just to them to be
expected TO pay any OF the items, no matter
how trivial, out of their own pockets.
Should the attorney general institute suit
against ex-Treasurer Gillette for the re-
covery Of state money spent as indicated
it will probably open the whole question of
expenditures of state money by officers
