STEAMSHIP COMPANIES
ACCUSED BY GARDNER
Charges Misrepresentation
With the View of Defeating
His immigration Bill.

According to a statement made by Rep
resentative Augustus Gardner of Massa-
chusetts before the House committee on
rules today, steamship companies are
engaged in a campaign of misrepresenta-
ton, with the idea of defeating proposed
legislation to restrict immigration. Mr..
Gardner is the author Of a bill to COM
pei all immigrants to submit to an edu-
cational test. He appeared before the
rules committee to ask for a special rule
on his measure. SO that he might get II
before the House at an early date.
The steamship companies, according to
Mr.. Gardner, are being assisted in their
fight against his bill by the brewers of
the country, who, being anxious to use
cheap labor from Germany, are endeav-
oring to arouse opposition to the educa-
tioHal test on the part or German-Amer-
leans.
He also stated that the National Lib
eral immigration League recently sent
communica ton to its members announc-
ing that it would temporarily drop its
campaign against the Gardner bill be-
cause it had received satisfactory assur-
ances from the National Capital that the
measure would not be considered at this
session of Congress.
Representative Dalzell Of Pennsylvania
remarked during the hearing that If
some members of the House believe in
the merits of this legislation, how would
they satisfy their consciences If they had
to vote against it for political reasons"
"Some of us unfortunate persons find
that our conscienceS are not half as hard
to satisfy as our constituents, Mr.. Gard
ner replied.
Champ Clark of Missouri made the
comment that this was one of the Hnest
epigrams he had ever heard.
Representatives Hayes Of California and
Burnett of Alabama supported the Card
ner bill, the Californian declaring that il
submitted to the House it would pass by
a majority of seventy.

MATTER IS REFERRED
TO DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Four Real Estate Transactions
Brought to Attention of
Commissioners.

Following the receipt OF q copy OF four
real estate transactions taken from the
records Of the recorder Of deeds Office in
which the name of Samuel T. Kalbfus
member of the board of assistant asses
sors. is mentioned. the Commissioners
expect to hear further from Representa-
tive Bennett of New York. who promised
that he would go further in his ac-
cusations Of the District government and
especially the methods Of assessment
now in vogue. The copy of the real es-
tate transactions was sent yesterday to
the Commissioners by F. Oden Horst
mann. who was discharged from his po-
sitiOn as clerk to the excise board last
fall. The Commissioners presume this is
Der in which they asked Mr.. Horstmann
to put in writing any charges he had
against the assessor or the excise board.
No Accompanying Explanation.
No explanation accompanied the copies
of the real estate transactions. The
commissioners do not assume that
charges have been made against Mr.
kalbfus. who has written a personal note
to the Commissioners, but refused to
discuss the matter for publication be-
yond saying that Mr.. Horstmann would
probably attain his ambition il the mat
ter was given publicity.
The Commissioners will not make any
investigation into the matter, as they be-
lieve the law has provided for another
course of action. Under the act creating
the board of assistant assessors. it is
made a criminal offense for member of
the board to refuse or knowingly ne
elect to perform any duty enjoined OH
him by law, or who shall connive any
evasion of the provisions of the act"
The penalty in the law is a f1ve-hundred-
dollar fine. a years Imprisonment. or
both.
Referred to District Attorney.
Under that law, Commissioner Rudolph
explained today, the Horstmann letter
has been referred to the district attor-
ney. He took pains to explain, however.
that the referring of the letter was by
no means suggestive of any wrongdoing.
F. Oden Horstnann's duties as clerk
to the excise board consisted in seeing
that the saloons Obeyed the excise law.
His appointment attracted attention be-
cause of his social position in this city.
He was discharged by the excise board
last October, and promised at that time
to bring charges against the board of
assessors and the excise board

Reduces Chaplain's Sentence.

AS a result of q court-martial in the
Philippines last year Chaplain Dallam
of the army was ordered dismissed from
the service. President Taft yesterday
decided to reduce the sentence to six
months suspension. The chaplain made
some remarks criticising Mai. Gen. Will
liam p. Duvall. formerly in charge of the
Philippine division of the army The
chaplain has been ordered to his home in
Minneapolis.
The chief executive yesterday declared
that what the country needed in the way
OF preparation for possible war was not a
large standing army, but a strong nucleus
of thoroughly trained officers who could
easily whip into shape the rank and file
Of an army. He made the statement in
expressing interest in the bill passed
Monday by the Senate to increase by 61o
the number Of officers In the army.
President Taft's confidence that his
reciprocity and tariff commission plans
will be adopted by Congress by March 4
has punctured the extra session BOOM
The President has been encouraged by
the numerous messages of congratulation
and assurances of support promised him
on the trade agreement by influential
business men throughout the country.
He will not hold out any threats to OBJ
tain the ratification of the treaty at this
session. 1t is said. but will trust in the
legislators to enact the measure which he
believes will establish currents Of COM
merce to benefit both the United States
and Canada.

 WIRELESS SYSTEM
The Success of LepeFs New "Singing
 Sparks" Invention Seems to < Be Now Assured


 !, Berlin. January 2s.-(special)-The suc- Icess of Herr von Lepel's singing sparks system of wireless telegraphy would seem to be assured. The Anglo-German Wire less Syndicate, Ltd, of London in con junction with the Compagnie GeneraIe Radiotelegraphique of Paris have secured rights of the system, which it is believed will be widely adopted in the near future. < The syndicate has an important wireless experimental station at Slough. where numerous interesting developments have been made, and visitors to the recent Brussels exhibition will remember the two Lepel stations in constant connection with Slough and Paris. Lepers system Is development of the Pausen arc sys- tenn, which succeeded the ordinary spark system identified with the name of Mar conf and others. From the practical point of view. it allows of sending telegrari,s not only on the Paulsen system but also telegrams with waves having musical note. W
 The main advantage of the Lepel sys- tenn as distinct from its predecessors Is that whereas the arc and spark systems produce in~ their receivers sort of grat- ing or filing polse. that of Lepel produces a musical note. With the former sys- tems telsgrsfns coming at the same time cannot be discriminated by ear In Le- pel's system each is easily distinguishable by It's own distinguishing note.
 If several stations are telegraphing at the same time, Lepers system provides for code of bugle calls when necessity. For use in war this is of great advantage, as the enemy with other systems would be unable to disturb the communication. Both arc and spark systems are here pow erless. By the Lepel system it is possible to telegraph music even of complicated character by means of an electrical key board.
