SEE HOLD.UP TO GET
RECIPROCITY VOTES
Report Around Capitol Is
Taft Will Use White Noun
tain Bill AS Calf.

1t is reported around the Capitol today
that the President is Withholding his
approval from the Appalachian and
White Mountain forest reserve bill in
order to influence votes for the Cana
dian reciprocity bill.
While nothing is being said at the
White House about this intimation, it Is
a fact that the forest reserve measure
has been lying on the Presidents desk
for several days, and has neither been
approved or disapproved.
This fact has led certain New Eng
land Senators to believe that the Weeks
bill Is being held up to bring into line
certain members of the Senate from the
New England States who are avowedly
opposed to the treaty.
1t has not been the practice of Presi-
dent Taft heretofore to use his veto
power over legislation in the case Of one
measure in the determination to win
votes for another. This practice was
common during the last Administration,
but has not been resorted to so far dur
ing the Taft regime, unless the present
suspicious are well founded.

druggist in the world can supply.

Wickersham Warns Law
Students of the Trusts

Loss of influence and prestige among
attorneys is due to the fact that many
of them are associated with corpora
tions. according to Attorney General
George w. WiCkersham. In an ad-
dress at the dedication OF the George
town University law building yester-
day he made this plain.
But Mr.. Wickersham pointed out
that when the corporate interests be-
came a menace, IL was the lawyers
who made possible the restriction of
their power. He urged upon the stu
dents to aid in clearing away the
mass of worse than useless machin-
cry" that now enCumbers Legislative

This Morning.
BOTH ARE PUT IN JAIL

Boisterous applause Of the spar
ring tactics assumed by a pair of
women, Mabel White and Marie La
Verne, who staged a hair pulling
battle on Twenty-first street at an
early hour this morning, resulted in
the arrest of quintet of rollickers
at the hands of Captain Reynolds, De-
tective Caulfield and officer Kinney.
The two principals in the female go
were each fined So and costs aud
the male audience comprised of
William Stevens, Ben Helm and
Frank Cue, each paid 81 and costs.
WE'RE MAKING GAY.
The arrested people were men,
bers of a party that made gay into
the wee hours of the morning in a
Twenty-first street house located
near Third avenue. Whether jeal-
ousy melted the fight or whether the
women were settling a grudge was
not learned. But the fact that they
had a real battle was shown by their
disheveled appearance. The officers
were attracted to the unroped arena
by the shrieks of the women and the
outlaws of the men. Such parties
have been frequent of late and most
of them have ended in the same
place-the police court.

They stated their reason for COM

When Located, Her Offspring VIII
Be Returned to Her by the
Iowa Authorities.

Evidences Of mother love In the
mother Of the Ryan child that was
picked up in Davenport Monday night
by Davenport police have failed abso-
Iutely thus far to materialize. Almost
"A hours after the disappearance of
the boy the mother called the police
to find II they knew of the where
abouts Of her son, and they informed
her that he was in charge Of the Dav-
export authorities, and she could find
him there. They so notified the Dav-
export police, and they waited for her
in vain. When she failed to come in
by night, they tucked the youngster
in bed, and this morning started to
institute search for his parents.
NO TRACE OF MOTHER.
Thinking that the mother would
hurry after her lost son the local po-
lice did not seek to learn her address,
and so have spent today in hunting
her again. Possibly her other cares
are more mandatory than the bringing
home of her son. AS soon as she is
located again, the police intend to
see that the lad is returned.

PROTESTS AGAINST

titles Should Attempt to Ferret
Out Dog Thieves.

William S. Boggess, whose home
is at 926 Seventeenth street, enters
emphatic protest against a practice
which is becoming very common and
which consists of stealing valuable
dogs. He believes that an effort
should be made to find the thieves
and that if one can be convicted, an
example should be made of him in
order to deter others from following
in his footsteps.
Not long since, Mr.. Boggess pos
sessed a fine Boston bull dog which
he considered very valuable not only
because of its pedigree, but because
IT was a family pet. Someone stole
the dog and though he has made
every effort to find it thus far he has
not met with success. He offered a
liberal reward but apparently not
enough to satisfy the thief.
