Benefit to Entire City.

The committee. it is understood. takes
the stand that the convention hall will
be a great benefit to the entire city, and
that the taxpayers as whole should
contribute their share to the great me-
mortal hall. For this reason, the COM
mittee believes, it would be only just to
take the entire sum from the District
revenues, without reference to the half
and-half principle of appropriation for
the District particularly as $2,20.UOo is
10 be subscribed by the rest of the coun-
try for the building.
Attempts TO raise the $4,000 by con-
tribution in Washington have not met
with much success. and for that reason
the committee believes il might be better
to take the needed sum directly from the
revenues Of the District.
A bill introduced in the Senate By
Senator Root of New York authorizing
the use of the ground occupied by the
old Pennsylvania railroad station at 9th
and streets northwest as site for the
memorial hall is pending.

Discoveries of Potash Salts.


Recent discoveries by government sci
| entists in the deserts of the southwest
| indicate that in at least one locality po-
| tassium salts exists i'm important COM
mercial quantities in the form of nat
| ural brine. Further explorations are to
be initiated at once. and it Is hoped that
they will result in the discovery of addi-
tional deposits whose utilization will in
ure to the great benefit of the agricul-
tural industry of the United States. and
may reduce the necessity for continuing
| the present extensive importationS. In
| the face of this discovery / am con-
| fronted by the fact that the laws at
present upon our statute books for the
disposal of minerals of this type existing
upon public lands are inadequate for the
protection of the public interest and that
| there exists no authority for withholding
them from disposal until the Congress
shall enact an appropriate law.
The greater part of the lands upon
which the discoveries now known exist
(and it is to be noted that these were
made by the use OF specific appropria-
tiOns made by Congress for the purpoSe).
are as yet in public ownership. but may
be acquired at any time under the placer
| mining law by private interests which
will have contributed nothing to their
discovery, but which cannot under the
existing law be effectively controlled in
the disposition or development of the de-
posts Similar results will follow future
discoveries at government expense.
Urges Immediate Action.
The Secretary of the Interior in his
last annual report has called my atten-
ton TO the fact that the withdrawal act
in its present form grants the executive
no authority to protect lands valuable for
their contents of potash or ntrates, both
of which should be developed in the pub
lie interest for the present and future
agricultural needs of the nation.
THE act now reads:
That all lands withdrawn under the
provisions of this act shall at ali times
be open to eXplora ton. discovery. Occu-
patton and purchase under the mining
laws OF the United States, so far as the
same apply TO minerals other than coal,
oil. gas and phOsphates.
This omits both potash and nitrates
from the protection of the law.
1.-THE Secretary's ideas OF the amend
ment necessary to correct this condition
are embodied in Senate bill No. JS1a. in
troduced by Senator Smoot March s.
1912 The immediate enactment of this
amendment or one of similar tenor Will
confer upon the Executive the authority
necessary to protect these valuable de-
posts until such time Congress may
enact further legislation providing for
their proper disposition. ] urge that such
action be taken Immediately

FAvoRS THE sMo0T BILL
Would Protect Potash and Nitrate
Deposits From Acquisition
by Public Entry.
FAv0Rs THE sM00T BILL

President Taft sent message to Con-
gress today urging immediate legisla-
ton to permit the President to withdraw
from entrv lands known to contain pot
ash or nitrate deposits. Under the pres
ent statute. the President said. these de-
posts, which are important in the manu-
facture of fertilizer, are omitted from the
protection Of the withdrawal act. Presi-
dent Taft declared the recent discovery
OF potash deposits in the southwest had
brought this situation to the attention of
the government. and Secretary Fisher of
the Department of the Interior has re-
ported TO him that in its present form the
withdrawal act grants no power to the
executive TO protect land valuable for
their potash or nitrate deposits. Senator
Smoot of Utah has introduced bill to
correct the law in accordance with the
views of President Taft, and Secretary
Fisher and Mr.. Taft urge the immediate
enactment of this measure.
The Presidents Message.
The Presidents message is as follows:
ITO the Senate and House of Representa-
tves:
Among the most acute of the problems
faced by our agricultural interests is that
of the maintenance of soil fertility, and
among the elements of greatest value in
maintaining this fertility is the element
pota ssium in its various combina tons. In
address delivered at ST. Paul, Mimi,
September II. 1910. in discussing the with
drawals of phosphate lands. / stated that
phosphorus is one Of the three essentials
TO plant growth. the other elements being
nitrogen and potash
THE scientific bureaus of the govern
ment have discovered and classified large
areas OF public lands underlain by phos
phate rock. and the withdrawal act of
June -, 1910 GIG Stat, $40 confers upon
the executive ample authority for the
protection of these lands until an ade-
quate law for their disposal shall have
been enacted. In both of these respects
the situation as to potash and nitrogen
differs from that to phosphorus. Tn
til very recently no important deposits of
potash salts have been known in the
United States and no law exists TO enable
the executive to adequately control the
development of such deposits as they may
become known.

Paris. August Especial -Gaby Deslya
is tired of the unlSind things said about
her by French critics, and to make an ex-
ample of one of the most prominent, she
is suing Ernest Charles for 5000 francs.
Gaby says that all Frenchmen are hyp-
ocrites. She believes there is little hon
esty in the world outside America, where
she was treated like real lady and no
nasty things said about her.
Her action is the talk of Paris, which
doubtless was what the astute dancer
intended She was first going to hire a
groom to horsewhip Charles, but her
lawyer suggested making him pay dam
ages. as horsewhipping editors and critics
has become too common and dull. Charles,
commenting upon the threatened slut
suggests that Mile. Deslys subpoena ex-
King Manuel as one of her witnesses as
to character. He adds many other names
as likely to be of assistance. For all that,
the case is expected to show that critics
use their pens far too freely in Paris and
there are many who think that Gaby will
win the damages.
