Ballinger Confers
With the President

Secretary Ballinger called at the
White House today before leaving for
New York. He said he had prepared a
bill giving his department the right to
sell the timber in that great area swept
by forest fires last fall. This bill will
go to Congress at once for action.
Senator Borah and other Westerners
have been to see the President repeat
edIy of late, asking him to assist them
in having this great property turned
over to the settlers and some use made
OF it. The Senator was especially anx-
ious to have the interests Of the home
steaders protected. Hundreds of these
have made entries on the public lands,
but their titles have not yet been per-
fected.
Secretary Ballinger said today that
the Government would undoubtedly
have to sell the timber, If It did any
thing with 1t at all. He said IL would
not do to have the homesteaders dis
pose of the timber, saying that they
would take their money and leave the
Government to hold the bag.
The result of the various conferences
at the White House is that the Bal
linger bill will go to Congress, and, If
passed, the Department of the Interior
will be in position to act. At present,
the Secretary said, he could do notohing
but let this property go to waste.

Haskell Will Attend
Meeting of Sealers

In response to the request of S. w.
Stratton, Director OF the Bureau OF
Standards, OF the Department of Com
merce and Labor, the Commissioners to-
day appointed w. c. Haskell, Superin-
tendent of Weights and Measures, dele
gate to the sixth annual conference of
State Sealers of Weights and Measures
to be held in Washington in February.
The object of the conference is to
bring together State officials for the dis
cussion of uniform laws and the consid-
Grafton OF legislation relating to inter-
state commerce. Incl eased cost of liV-
ing also will be a subject for discussion.
In most Of the States there ex-
lists a necessity for laws to better
regulate the weights and measures
now in use" says Mr.. Stratton in a
letter to the Commissioners. "It is
apparent to those who have made a
study of the subject, that thereI are
certain features that can not be sue
cessfully legislated for by any one
State alone.
Interest in the work of the con-
ference has increased greatly in the
last two years on account of it's
bearing on the question of the in
creased cost of living, no small
amount of which can be attributed
to the fact that the consumer fire.
quently does not know how much
or how little he is getting Several
of the States have adopted weights
and measures laws as the result of
the assistance given them by the
conference"

HE ASSISTED ON HER
FIRST WEDDING DAY
Charles Sweet, Veteran of 81,
Now Weds Jennie Elmore
After Half Century.

Love scoffed at age instead of lock-
smiths today when Charles G. Sweet,
eighty-one years old, a civil war vet
eran, applied for a license to wed Mrs.
Jennie Elmore, who has seen sixty-eight
summers. Each has been once married.
Neither has had any children.
When Corp. Charles Sweet was mus.
tered out Of the volunteer service in
Washington in 1864 he met Mrs Elmore,
then a girl of twenty-five. He was a
friend of her father and as such aided
in making necessary preparations for
her marriage TO her first husband. one
of his duties was to obtain the mar
riage license for her.
Later he married and left Washing
ton. He returned just a few years be-
Tore his wife died in 1904. Mrs. Ell
more at that time was widow. The
two were drawn together through mu-
tual interests and the friendship OF
years ripened into a stronger affection
which today eliminated in their mar
riage.

The people in Cumberland and Keyser
who have followed the case and who
knew Twigg will not accept such YER
dict. They claim that Twigg and Miss
Elosser were too happy to have entered
into a suicide pact or to have killed each
other and then themselves.
One of those working for Mr.. Robb
says that Robb will try to prove at the
inquest that Twigg brought the fruit
cake to the Elosser house, and that he
persuaded his bride-to-be to eat the al
legged poisoned cake under some subter-
fuge. chemist now in Cumberland
said the poison could easily have been
administered in fruit cake, other foods,
or in capsule form. He also says It
could have been placed on the tongue
by Twigg, for he could have told Miss
Elosser in Jest that IL was a love potion.
Maurice Wilson. the divorced hus-
band of Grace ElosseT, is grleving as
much over the death as her parents. In
the presence of his present wife,, he
said last night that Grace Elosser was
one of the finest women who ever lived.
He denied that he har been meeting her
recently. and also that he talked to hr
over the telephone last Friday evening,
the day prior to the tragedy.

$4,000 Haul Is Made
By Mail Bag Robbers

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.-Three
bags of registered mail. supposed to
contain letters and valuables worth
$4,000, have been stolen from mail wag-
ons somewhere between San Francisco
and Oakland, according to an announce
ment by the postal authorities today.
The robbery is baffling, as the bags
disappeared while being transferred by
ferry across the bay. The first was
taken December q; the second Decem-
Der q; and the third December g.
Postal authorities are seeking a check
of the missing bags, and they declare
that the fact that only bags contain
ing the largest amounts of money were
taken indicates that the thieves were
intimately acquainted with the post
office system here.

MT. VERNON RUN
LIKE DINE MUSEUM
So Declares Secretary Rich
ards, Answering Protest
Against Reformatory.

Answering the protest OF the Mt.
Vernon Ladies Association against the
tablishment of the District reforma-
tory in the neighborhood of the tomb
OF Washington, James r. Richards,
secretary of the Mt. Vernon Anti
Fee Society, declares that las long as
Mt. Vernon is managed on the prin-
ciple of dime museum, the association
should be the last to object"
In letter to the Commissioners Mr..
Richards has the following to say OF
the association:
"It is a close corporation with a
capital Of over 100000.
1T allows a boat and car monopoly
for the purpose Of extortion-
1T permits fee system and the SELL
ing of souvenirs, which alone nets them
over $4,000 a year.
Every catch-penny idea is in vogue
there.
I'VE claim. that it is no more a ma
tional disgrace to establish a reform
atory in the neighborhood, than to
manage Mt. Vernon on the dime
museum principle. We have facts, let
ters and papers which will be presented
to the Virginia legislature

ment on Mr.. Richards communication.

LAFOLLETTE OPENS
DIRECT VOTE FIGHT
Begins Campaign for Elec-
tion of National Delegates
BY Primaries.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 6.-Dec1arins
that wall Street has already selected
the Presidential candidates OF both
parties for 1872" Senator La Toilette
in the issue of his weekly today, fires
the first gun in, contest to give the
people the right to elect delegates to
the next national convention by direcct
vote.
To Wisconsin," says La Toilette,
belongs the honor of enacting the first
primary law for the election of dele
gates to the national convention by
the direct vote, of the people. The
Wisconsin delegates to the convention
OF 1908 were elected under that law.
They stood In that convention, a little
band of fearless men, fighting to the
last ditch for the platform pledges vital
to the public interest.
Their contest in the Chicago conven-
ton fixed the attention of the country.
ana forced the candidate nominated for
President to broaden the platform by
declarations In his speech of accent
ance In favor Of several of the fmport-
ant wisconsin propositions which the
convention had impatiently rejected.
Lesson Obvious.
The lesson is obvious. Every State
IN the Union should adopt a primary
law for the election of delegates To
the national conventions of 1872 by d.
rect vote Of the people. With such a
law In each State the delegates will be
CHOSEN by voters, instead of by ma
chine managers, and the national plat
forms Of both political parties will
represent the interests of the people
rather than the interests of the sys-
tenn.
And every State should take another
advance step. Oregon has lust pointed
out the way. Under the initiative the
people OF that State voted for and
adopted a law at the late election in
November providing not only for the
election OF delegates to the national
conventions, but also providing that
eacn voter shall, at the April primary
IN 1872 have the opportunity of ex-
pressing his choice for President and
Vice President.
Candidates Selected.
wall Street has already selected the
Presidential candidates of both poltti-
cal parties. There is just time to de-
Feat the Wall Street plan. Let the
people organize and demand of every
Legislature the enactment of a pri-
mary law for the election Of delegates
to national conventions by direct vote,
embracing a provision that shall give
to each voter the right to express upon
his primary ballot his preference for
President and Vice President.
such primary law will beat the
Wall Street game and nominate and
elect a President for all the people of
the United States"

ARGUMENT BEGUN IN
TOBACCO TRUST SUIT
Final Chapter In Famous
Case Is Opened In Su-
preme Court.

Before the Supreme Court of the
United Stateb today was begun the
final chapter in the famous suit by the
Government against the American To-
bacco Company. Late this afternoon
arguments in the submission of this,
the neXt-to-the-most famous of the
most famous of the Sherman antitrust
law prosecutions, were begun by an
opening statement by Delaney Nicol,
attorney for the tobacco company.
Probably three days will be occupied
In the argument of the case by both
sides.
Three attorneys will appear for the
defendant companies-Delancey Nicol,
for the trust as a whole; Sol NJ. Stroock,
for the United Cigar Stores Company,
and William Is. HornbIcwer, for the
British and Imperial Tobacco Compan-
les. For the Government, Special As
sistant Attorney General J. c. Mercy
nolds Will make a main argument, with
Attorney General Wickersham, as as
Sistant.
The defendant trust is a combine of
several score CT corporations and part
nerShips with an aggregate of $400, ,0OO,OUO
capital, II is alleged. The Government
contends that it has throttled all COM
petition in its field of business, and now
has monopoly of the tobacco market.
Several tinfoil, box, label, and sending
machine manufacturing corporations are
parties to the trust" according TO the
Government claim.
Dasing its petition on the Sherman
antitrust law, the Government demands
dissolution Of the trust. The lower
court, sustained the Government in
part, hut dismissed its bill against the
United Cigar Stores and the British and
Imperial Tobacco Companies.

Senator Beveridge of Indiana has
completed his minority report on the
case of Senator Loriner, who has been
investigated with reference to the
charge that his election was the result
of bribery. 1t is expected the minority
report will be submitted to the Senate
Monday.
1t will take the position that Senator
Lorimer is not entitled to remain in the
Senate on account of enough members
of the Legislature who voted for him
having been bought to change the re-
suit.
Senator Beveridge has been working
on the evidence day and night since
Congress adjourned for the holidays
Until recently, there has been more
or less mystery as to whether he would
submit a minority report.
Had the fight on Lorimer opened yes
terday, Senator Owen would have made
the opening speech. AS 1t is, Senator
Beveridge is now expected to be the
first to take the floor.

REPORT
ONLORIMER READY
Beverdge Takes Stand That Illinois Senator Used Money
In Election and 1t Is Expected That the Ques-
ton Will Come Up Monday.

Senator Lorimer is remaining here be,
cause he has been advised the storm
in the Senate is about to break. Sena-
tor Aldrich is now said to be trying to
get the whole matter referred back to
the committee for further investiga-
tion. If this is done, 1t will mean there
will be no action by the Senate this
session. But Senators say that If 1t Is
referred it will not be done until the
whole situation with respect to the
alleged bribery has been aired.
Should the matter go over until next
session, the number OF defenders OF
Lorimer In the Senate will de diminish
ed and the number hostile to the reten-
tion of his place will be increased.
Hence there is considerable speculation
as to why any of his friends should
want the matter to go over.
Senator Root, according to the latest
reports, is now expected to come out
against Lorimer.
Much interest is felt now In whether
Senator Frazier of Tennessee will sub
nit minority report adverse to Lori
mer.

Potash Buyers Enter
Complaint in Congress

Not satisfied with the results of their
appeal to the President American pot
ash buyers through a committee have
filed a brief with the Senate and House

country and Germany. The committee
represents that Germany is making a
discrimination Of $40,0O000O against
American citizens, or, in other words, is
demanding that much tribute from
American potash companies and potash
consumers in this country.
