BLACK HILLS EXPECTS
LABOR INAUGURATION
McNamara's Confession Por-
tends Withdrawal of Strife
at Homestake.

Deadwood, s.. D., Dec. 4.-Ihere is
much discussion in the Black Hills to-
day of the plea of guilty of the Nc
Namaras at Los Angeles, in n
tion with the blowing up Of the Times
building, and of the effect which it
will have upon union labor interests
and tits connection with the long main
tanned lockout at the Homestake, at
Lead.
The opinion is expressed that the
confession will have the effect of d.
m1nishing the bitterness of the conflict
between the Western Federation Of
mining companies which has prevailed
two years ego, and It is predicted that
the settlement of the Los Angeles case
will cause the Western Federation to
force out of It's membership certain
violent elements which haye opposed
arbitration and caused the f6fffeStake
fight to be prolonged

Australian scientists. headed by DR..
Douglas MaWson. are preparing Tor q
south polar expedition. the purpose Oh
which Is mainly to explore the long
stretch of coast known as Wilkes land,
lying between Cape Adare and Gauss
berg (Kaiser Wilhelm II land). Several
parties will be landed at various points.
The graduates Of the universities of
Australian and New Zealand and every
member of the land parties Will be a
specialist in some branch or sclence, a
visit to the south magnetic pole Is part
of the program. From a geographical
point Of view this undertaking appears
likely to yield the most interesting re-
suit of any of the antarctic e&pedl-
tons now projected or In the field.
According to the Railway Gazette.
the Russian government has recently
been investigating very closely the
working of the steam ferry between
Germany and Sweden, and the st.
Petersburg papers are s~peculattng on
what is the ultimate purpose. 1t Is
known that the Russian board of trade
oppose to extend the state railway
from Reval into the Interior, so as TO
bring the Siberian trains direct to that
port. and 1t is generally assumed that
the government proposes TO develop q
big transit traffic VIA the Swedish state
railways to Denmark and England. The
Gazette also states that Russian In
tends to follow the example OF other
states respecting the e~lectrihcation of
railways.

DISTRICT GOT ONLY
THREE LAWS DURING
THEEXTRA SESSION
One of These Was a Pension,
and Another a Street
Extension Measure.

Congress has done little for the Dis
trict of Columbia this session. But
three measues have become laws.
These include the bill to strengthen the
law as to health, accident, and death
benefit companies, an important insur-
ance measure; the bill to widen Colo
rado avenue northwest from Longfel-
low to Sixteenth street, and to widen
Kennedy street northwest. and a bill
to put the name of Mrs. Annie NJ. Mat
thews on the roll Of the firemen's and
policemen's pension fund.
Thirty one bills relating to the Dis
trict have Seen passed by the Senate
which have not been passed by the
House. Foremost of these is the loan
shark bill. Others in the list include
the bill for the purchase of land on
both sides Of Rock Creek for an ex-
tensive addition to the park system
of the city, the one to regulate the
Metropolitan Coach Company, an
other giving the superintendent Of
insurance greater authority as to re-
quirinR statements from insurance
companies, the measure to prevent
display of Objectionable and indecent
pictures by moving picture concerns
and others, numerous street extension
and street widening bills, and two for
monuments to Hamilton apd Jeffer-
son. The Straus Laboratory bill also
passed the Senate.
The Senate calendar Is almost free
of District bills. But four remain on
1t. Most important of these Is the
Sunday rest bill by Senator Johnston.

This Is Anniversary of
Aero Inventors Birth

Samuel Pierpont Langley. inventor of
the first flying machine, and one Of the
most able scientists of this country,
was. born this day. seventy-seven years
ago. He died in 1905.
Prof. Largley's development of the
heavier -than-air- machine constitutes
his chief claim to fame, though he was
one Of the chief astronomers Of time.
He is remembered principally for his
brave and patient efforts to perfect
his invention.
He did not devote himself to a close
study of aeronautics until some years
after his appointment as secretary Of
the Smithsonian Institution, in 1887.
He soon convinced officials Of the
Government that his invention was
feasible for execution, and he was given
aid by the War Department for several
years. He finally succeeded in making
his machine fly. and though he could
not bring 1t to a practical working
efficiency, his theories have been proven
true and are recognized in large part
as the principles of aviation.

six children to look after, the story
Mrs. Dennis recites is one Of the most
pathetic that has been heard in this city

the Government, and Friday night Mrs.

With the exception Of Louis, eleven

REPORT ON WILEY
INVESTIGATION NOT
BEFORE DECEMBER
Sweeping Changes Expected
to Be Recommended by
Committee.

At an executive session today the
House committee which has been in
VestiGating the McCabe- Wiley contro-
Nersy in the Department CT Agriculture,
ana which mas unearthed startling testi-
mony tending to show a conspiracy
against the chief chemist, voted to de-
Ter its report until December
Although the committee did not Of
ncially take action upon the merits Of
the case. 1t is rumOred that its recon-
mendattons will demand sweeping re-
1orms I'm the Department of Agriculture.
The House. If it desires, can hold the
whip hand in such matters, notwith-
standing the fact that the department
Is of the executive branch of the Gov
eminent. Should the committee so
recommend, the House may frame the
next agricultural appropriation bill so
that DR.. Wiley will be unhampered in
his work in the Bureau of Chemistry,
ana 1t may refuse to sanction further
expense on account OF the Remsen
board. the food and drug inspection
board and even the board of personnel.
At the close of today's meeting the
committee members announced that II
was deemed inadvisable to reconvene
the committee during the recess of Con-
gress, since the members live in widely
separate sections of the country. The
voluminous record of the hearings has
not come from the printer, and until
this is received it is Impossible for the
committee to take official action.
Although the hearings have been ten
tatively closed, the committee in its
discretion may reopen the case next
winter If it develops that there is ad
ditional evidence to be obtained.
Chairman Moss said today one ques-
ton certain to be determined by the
committee was the legality of the en-
ployment of DR.. Rusby, about which
the present controversy, now of much
broader scope, at first centered. The
committee doubtless, will take into con-
sideration the|precedents established by
the department itself, when II engaged
the expert services of w. H. Harris and
the further fact that the Remsen
hoard is employed under practically the
same system as that voiced in the
Rusby contract with the Bureau of
Chemistry.
There is no doubt that the investiga-
ton by the Moss committee has proven
to be among the most important begun
Ey the democratic House.
The testimony has revealed the
hindranCes thrown about DR.. Wiley, and
II has been demonstrated that the ad-
ministration of the pure food law has
practically fallen into the hands of So
liCitor MCCabe, who is not a chemist,
and the Remsen board, which was not
dreamed of when the pure food law was
enacted.
pr Wiley is believed not to have suf-
fered in prestige or public confidence
because of the investigation. and the
report of the committee probably Will be
d VIndiCation, rather than criticism,

In response, Vice President Sherman
said:
Your resolution of commentator and

officer are pleasing and appreciated.

uniform and continuing courtesy shown
me.
Il am happy in the belief that a pro-
tracted and, at times, strenuous session,
rather than generating Hl-wili or dis

France and Germany
Seem in Deadlock

PARIS, Aug. 22.-The admission by
both the war office and the navy de-
partment that the annual maneuvers
have been abandoned, so far as the
original elaborate program is concerned,
had a most depressing effect today. 1t
is generally conceded that it means that
the negotiations with Germany regard
ing the Moroccan situation continue in
an almost hopeless deadlock.
Frequent conference between the pre-
mier and the foreign ambassadors, and
between the premier and heads of the
war and navy departments, nave re-
newed the apprehension of month ago:
as it is feared trat Germany has raised
impossible demands for territorial con-
cessiDns in Africa.
Meanwhile the conference between
Ambassador Cambon, at Berlin. and the
neither here nor at the Germen capital
are any statements ohIainable as to
what progress has been made.

Turn Police Quarters
Into a Bargain Counter

With every chair and desk piled
high with silk evening dresses, can
vas sailor suits, fancy sun shades, silk
stockings and willow plumes, Inspec-
tor Boardman's office, at 9 o'clock
this morning, looked more like a cor
ner of a department store just be-
fore the onslaught of bargain hunt
ers than the headquarters from which
the police force of a large city is
governed.
The scene was made even more
realistic a few minutes later when
about twenty young women hurried
into the place and began to pick over
the varied assortment Of clothing in
true bargain hunting style.
That's mine," one of the crowd
would exclaim as she would reach for
some dress or other finery.
Central Office detectives stood about
after the manner of floor walkers and
lent a hand here ana there in the dis
play of the goods. 1t was a real bar
gain sale scene with the exception of
three things. First, none of the young
women quarreled over the possession
OF any one article; second, the ring of
the cash register was missing, and,
third. several men now and then reach
ed forward and took possession Of an
article, an act which no man would
dare 90 during real bargain counter
sale.
The arrest Of George and Maude
Earle, the Baltimore couple, Saturday
night on a charge of attempting to
steal a shirtwaist from a dry goods
store, was responsible for this strange
scene at Police Headquarters this morn
ing. Yesterday detectives visited the
apartment formerly occupied by the
couple and found there trunks contain
ing the large assortment Of goods dis
played in Captain Boardman's office
this morning. Almost everything was
new, as only a few of the articles show
any signs Of wear.
Believing that they had come across
the spoils gathered by a clever pair of
shoplifters, the detectives yesterday af-
ternoon notified the managers of every
department store In the city of the ar
rest They requested the managers to
come to Police Headquarters this mor1-
ing to see If any of the articles had
come from their establishments.
This request was responsible for the
visit of about ten store managers. In
almost every instance they brought with
them from two to three sales ladies
and purchasing clerks to Identity the
alleged stolen property.
As the result of the visit the police
learned that the assortment Of cloth
ing contained articles from the estab-
lishments OF, S. Kann, Sons & Co.,
Hecht's, the 'Palais Royal, and Parker
& Bridget. There are still'a number OF
articles which have not as yet been
identified One lot Of goods included
nineteen dresses of assorted kinds and
materials, which would make almost
any woman envious. The entire col
lection is valued between $500 and $500.
George Earle and his wife are being
held in the jail, where they were COM
mitted yesterday after a preliminary
hearing in the Police Court. They will
be given a trial Friday morning.
