debt of gratitude to the man who
had sown, many years ago, in the
United States, the first seeds of a
closer Franco-American understanding

of the barriers which still separate

Among the pictures disposed of at
the sale of the celebrated Delessert
collection last week, was one entitled
Cows on a knoll in a medaw" by the
Dutch master Albert Cuyp. After some
vigorous bidding, the picture was
knocked down for $4,000 to dealer
acting on behalf of the proprietor of
one of the big department stores of
Paris. The day after the sale, Dutch
newspaper, the ''Nieuwe Rotterdam
sche Courant," published an article
from its correspondent in Paris affirm
ing that the famous Cuyp was for
gerry. The article was so circumstan-
tial that the dealer and his client be-
came alarmed and submitted the mat
ter to the Dutch expert, Hofstelle van
Groos. After a careful examination,
the expert concluded that the picture
was an old copy executed with excep-
tional skill and care, and possessing
great artistic merit, but neither wholly
nor partly the work of Cuyp.

quietude would restore her health
None but relatives and attendants
have been allowed to see her since
then. An attempt to serve her with
summons in a suit recently was balk-
ed by DR.. C. c. Goddard, owner of the
sanitarium.
Mrs. Nation was not permitted even
to read letters addressed to her. Doc.
tors feared that some hint of the pend
ing suits that they might contain would
endaiger her health.
The last five months of her life in
the sanitarium was in contrast with
her former aggressive activity. The
meek little woman submitted passive
ly to the physicians directions. Her
one time aggressiveness seemed to
fail with her health.
Once she saw physician on the
ground smoking cigarette. She made
no remonstrance, merely smiling and
saying that she had done all she could
to eradicate the evil" She was con-

TOBACCO REVENUE
PROVES EXPENSIVE
Representative Peters Asserts Neces-
sity of Raising Revenue Caused
Duty on Wool.

Washington, June 10.-Representa-
tives Warburton of Washington,
newly-elected republican insurgent,
charged congress yesterday with let
ting millions of dollars go to waste
that it might collect in internal reye-
nue. taxes on tobacco. He attacked
the pending wool tariff, revision offer
ed by the democrats saying their plea
of needing revenue was not a serious
argument for keeping high duties on
woolen goods.
Mr.. Warburton said the democratS
had been afraid to reduce the duties
on wool any further for fear of the
consequences at the next election if
the woolen industry was prostrated
by the removal of protection. He
said the democrats had been COM
PEELED to adopt the republican doct-

on sugar as on 10-cent cigars; thirty
times as much on sugar as on 25-cent
cigars, and sixty times as much on
sugar as on 50-cent cigars
Representatives Peters of Massa-
chusetts, a democrat member of the
ways and means committee, which
framed the wool bill, said wool and
woolen goods would have been made
free but for the necessity of raising
revenue. He said the duties had been
placed as low as was consistent with

SUIT TO RECOVER $4,000
PAID AS ATTORNEYS FEE

Oklahoma City, June 10.-An -
portant question is raised in connec-
tion with the suit filled by twelve cit
izens of Garfield county, against Coun-
ty Attorney H. G. sMcKeever and Dan
Huitt, former county attorney, to re-
cover, for the benefit of the county
court fund, $4,000 which was assign
ed by the district court to the two men
from the $4,000 fine assessed against
the Waters Pierce Oil company for
alleged violation of the Oklahoma anti
trust laws.
The fine was imposed by Judge Hus-
ton, sitting as special Judge in the
district court, as result of a COM
promise reached between the attor-
neys for the company, Attorney Gen
eral West and Huitt and McKeever
Under the terms of the settlement the
state was to receive $4,000 of the
fine, Garfield county $4,000 and Attor-
neys McKeeyer and Huitt $4,000. At
the time of settlement McKeever was
county attorney and Huitt was county
attorney when the prosecution was
commenced.
The suit filed by citizens of Garfield
county is result of the report of
State Examiner and Inspector Charles
A. Taylor, holding that the $4,000
should have been paid into the county
court fund. The petitioners who fled
the suit claim that the statute of 1890
under which part of the fine was turn
ed over to the attorneys was repealed
by the statutes Of 1893.
The petitioners also claim thata -
constitutional officer can receive anyl
thing of value for his services otheIi
than the salary and fees allowed himl
by law, under the provisions of the|
Oklahoma constitution, and that hdl
cannot colldect legally part of a
court fine which was imposed follow I
ing a prosecution instituted by hint
unless such fines specifically are madd'
a part of his alary by statute.
If the courts hold that McKeeyefI
and Huitt are not entitled to the $15,{
600, which was divided equally bel
tween them, they will be compelled t1
repay the money.

TAFT WILL SET ASIDE
APPOINTMENT OF VERNON

Washington, d. c., June 12.-Heed-
ing the protests from Oklahoma, Pres
ident Taft Saturday informed Con-
gressmen Morgan and Mcclure of Ok
lahoma that the appointment of w. t.
Vernoon Kansas negro to the posi-
tion of assistant supervisor of Indian
schools of the Five Civilized Tribes
would be withdrawn.
The announcement Of the appoint.
ment of Vernon raised storm of pro-
test throughout the eastern section of
Oklahoma among those with whom the
negro would have to come in contact.
The Indians especially were indignant
and petitions were circulated in almost
every county of old Indian Territory
and signed not only by Indians, but
hundreds of whites. State Senator
Landrum, a Cherokee Indian, circulat-
ed the petition at the state house in
Oklahoma City and Governor Cruce
and practically all of the state officials
signed 1t.
The position of assistant supervisor
of the Indian schools for the Five
Civilized Tribes is an important one
and would have placed Vernon second

conducted by the government for the
education of the Cherokees, Chicka-

REPORT IN Steel
CANCELS ORDER Of
RATE SUSPENSION
Action Taken BY Interstate Commits
sion is Without Prejudice to
Interests Involved.

Washington, d. c., June 1O.-The in
terstate commerce commission has
cancelled its order suspending ad-
vances of rates on live stock between
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers
This action was taken without preju-
dice to any of the interests involved,
the commission holding that 1t was
without sufficient information to pass
on the question of reasonableness of
the rates or the alleged necessity of
eaualizing conditions between Omaha,
Chicago and Kansas City. The old
rate on cattle was fourteen and three
fourths cents, while the rate which
now becames effective is seventeen
cents.
The commission yesterday held a
conference with counsel for the var
ious trunk line railroads on the ques-
tion of rate allowances made to term.
inal roads afiliated particularly with
the iron and steel industry.
The allowance now made to the ter
minal roads aggregate millions of dol
lars a year and it is asserted that in
some instances where the terminal
lines are controlled by the large ship
. pers of iron and steel they amount
practically to a rebate.
The particular problem involved is
.g..o ,sot1wnoHC
forming principally switching duties,
shall be considered as common car
riers under the law, with the privileges
and duties which accrue to common
carriers.
The committee of the trunk lines
suggested to the commission that all
tariffs making allowances to so-called
terminal roads be cancelled except six,
aggregating terminal lines that in the
Judgment of the committee were en-
titled to be considered as common car
riers.
OF the terminal roads affected,
twelve are affiliated with the United
States steel corporation and thirteen
are not.
The principle is practically the same
as that in the sugar literage case in
New York harbor in which the COM
mission held that the same facilities
should be accorded to the Federal Re-
fining company as were accorded Ar
buckle Brothers.
The commissions inquiry has ex-
tended over many months, the ques-
tion being one of the most important
before that body. A definite deter.
mination may rest with the United
States supreme court.
Exciting freight rates on coal from
Missouri, Kansas. Arkansas, Oklaho-
ma, Colorado and Wyoming mines to
Fremont, Neb., today were held by the
commission to be unreasonably high
and prejudicial to Fremont as com,
pared with the rates from the same
points to Omaha and Lincoln, Neb
Under the order of the commission
no more than 10 cents a ton more to
Fremont than to Omaha and Lincoln
may be exacted by the railroads

Paris, June 10.-American abroad
are inclined to believe that when the
people of Europe use the word amer
ica," they mean their own country and
none other. and that the United States
is the most important, if not the only
country, in the western world. This
idea is erroneous, especially in Paris,
where large and wealthy South and
Central American Colonies make their
headquarters, and where Spanish
speaking visitors spend their money
with lavishness that rejoices the
heart of the local tradesmen.
There are permanent colonies of
Spanish Americans in Paris which,
taken together, are three times as
large as the North American colony.
An American who told a jeweler in
the Rue de la Paix that Americans
spend more money there than in Fifth
Avenue, New York. was reminded that
North Americans spend much less in
the Rue de la Paix than do South
Americans. 1t is an undisputed fact
that Spanish Americans buy more
beautiful furniture, more jewels, more
objects of modern French art in Paris
than do visitors from the United
States. Probably quite half of the
large number of canvasses shown in
the two great salons of this month
will find their way to private houses
in come part of the Americas south of
the Rio Grande.
Paris rather than Madrid is the in
tellectual capital of Spanish America,
and the connections in the fields of
culture, art and literature between the
French and the people of Latin Amer
lea are deeper than the visiting Amer
lean realizes. French opera and theat-
rical companies; French statesmen,
such as M. Clemenceau, the former
premier, and Paul Doumer, and French
capitalists and Representatives of al
most every department of French ac-
tivity find in South America a sympa-
thetic welcome and almost a com
munity of language, because it has
long been a principle of South Ameri-
can education that the cultivated per
son must know French. While the
English novelist has market in the
United States larger than in his own
country, French writer's have cir
culation in Spanish America second
to only to that of France itself.
A powerful society was formed last
year, called the "Comite France
Amerique," designed to bring all the
peoples of North and South America
into closer relations with France. Cab
riel Hanotaux, for so many years Sec
retary of foreign affairs, is the pres
ident and gives its affairs good deal
of personal attention. He intends to
visit the United States and Canada
next year, and possibly Mexico, large
ly IN the interest OF the lntellectuaI
and moral aims of this society. AS
has already been announced, NJ. Han
otaux and some fifteen of twenty other
distinguished Frenchmen will go to
the United States next spring. One
of the prominent Americans now living
in Paris, and the foremost American
member of the committee, is James
H. Hyde. At a recent meeting of the
society, NJ Hanotaux, while sketching
the progress already obtained by the
Organization in the direction of closer
relations with the Americas, paid a
