.KA|SER'S SON TO
! VISIT THE U. S.
Trip Of Duke Of connaught to Be
EcIipsed.
WILL ARRIVE ON WARSHIP
Emperor William, Plans Journey for
Prince Adaihert, Who viii Be
Given Reception In Keeping #
.... With His Rank. ...,.,.

Washington, Jan. 29.--To overcome
and, if possible, to oyershadow the ef-
feet of the Duke of Connaught's recent
trip to the United States, King
Georges greatest rival, Emperor Will
liam, plans an official visit from his
favorite son, Prince Adalbert, in COM
mand Of one Of the new German ar
mored cruisers, probably the Moltke.
1t is anticipated here that his visit
will be accompanied by a demonstra-
ton Of unprecedented popularity on
the part Of the American public be-
cause Of the large German citizenship.
Royal Rank to Be Observed.
Rear Admiral Wainwright said that
whether Prince Adalbert visits Amer
lea as a royal prince, as 1t is under
stood that he will, or as simple COM
mander in the German navy, he will
be given a reception suitable to his
royal rank. ... g..
If the prince comes officially" said
the admiral, Il have no doubt a part
Of our feet will be detached, and sent
to meet him. II he comes unofficially
believe that the state department
will, in any event, take official cogni.
zance of his visit and direct the navy
department as to what It shall do. In
any event. he will be received with the
royal salute of 81 guns"
"If Prince Adalbert puts into New
York as HIS first port OF CALL" said an,
other naval Officer the battleships
Florida and Utah. as the two biggest
in the navy. will probably be made
the nucleus Of the welcoming squad
ron. They will greet him in the mid
die of the Atlantic and escort him to
the coast"
1t is understood that Prince Adal
bert will make his visit within the
next few months. 1t is barely possible
however, that it will not occur until
the fall.
Like Prince Henry's Visit.
Even should he make the visit as a
German emperor, Prince Adalbert will
through the state department, be in
vlted to Washington. The belief was
expressed that the precedent OF Prince
Henry's visit in 1902 will be closely
followed.
In that event the state department
will appoint a committee to prepare a
program. The prince being bachelor
ball at the White House will bt
given. .n..,. ..s
Prince Adalbert is now twenty-eigh
years of age.

TELLS WHAT IT MEANS
Special Counsel Attempt to Explain
"Moneyed Capital"

Persons who make their living by
loaning money and whose income con.
sists entirely from interest on mort
| cages, must pay taxes at the rate OF
20 per cent of the actual value, ac-
cording to a ruling by G. A. Robbins,
special counsel in the state depart
ment OF justice. Mr. Robbins also
defined moneyed capital as follows:
Capital employed in national bank
and capital employed by individual
when the object of their business is
the making of profit by the use of
their moueyed capital as money; but
II does not include moneyed capital
in tho hands Of corporations, even IL
its business be such as to make it's
shares moneyed capital when in the
hand OF individuals"
Nj. Robbins also answered several
interesting questions propounded by
assessor. The questions and answers
are as follows:
There Is a resident of this city
whose sole income Is derived from
notes and mortgages. His business
consists in loaning his own money. Is
his property taxable on the basis of 9
mills on the dollar. or on the basis
OF 20 per cent of It's actual value?
This item should be taxed on the
basis of 90 per cent OF It's actual
valuec as provided by section Of the
act under consideration.

In Gotham. ......... .

New York, Jan. 29.-President Taft
In speech here before the Ohio SO.
ciety came out in bitter denuncia-
ton of what he terms the "nostrums
Of REFORM" in which his criticism was
directed particularly against the move
ment for the recall Of judges. ...s.
Orators and statesmen are going
up and down the country denouncing
the courts, pointing out their corrupt
nature" he said. The time is COM
ing when the conservative people Of
this country who are In favor Of the
eternal principles Of justice and their
administration SO as to make them
prevail should rise to meet these mis-
guided supporters of an utterly inde-
feasible theory and end the agitation
against the courts
The president said that to take away
from the courts by the threat of a re-
call the power to determine right and
justice without regard to the vote Of
d majority of the people would make
the courts as dependent upon despouc
rule AS If we had one man power in
this government rather than popular
control.
Fears Weakness Of Judges.
But 1t ia said," the president con-
tinued, that the judicial recall does
not prevent Judge from deciding a
case right; that judges will still de-
eide cases right, and subject them
selves to recall If their decision In
wolves that result. hope they will. l
hope there will be some men with
manhood enough to be Indifferent to
the action of the public in that regard.
But no one knows human nature
who does not know that the DISPOSE
ton prompted by such an arrange
ment on the part of weak judges will
be to follow the popular demand rath.
er than the demand Of absolute JUS
tice. and when the people themselves
are to reverse judicial judgments by
vote, then ii is plain case of a de-
cislon by majority Of the people not
bound by law, not bound by any prin-
ciples of justice, but in accordance
with their discretion as electors, in
fluenced by newspapers, by platform
orators and with no machinery other
than these for determining the facts
or the principles of law applicable to
them.
1T is inconceivable that such a
wildly unjust method Of maintaining
courts should prevail with a consider
able part OF the American people"
