New York cotton commission merchant
indicted for alleged libelous publications
in regard to Representative Clayton, will
come to Washington about April II for a

stated, had waived extradition proceed
ings. and seemed to welcome the oppor-
tunity Of airing his side Of the case in
court.
The offense with which Mr.. Page is
charged Is the publication of alleged
libelous statements concerning Repre-
sentative Clayton and other members OF
Congress, which, it is charged, Were
printed in pamphlet form and caused to
be widely circulated by Mr.. Page.

The Kaiser's Hobby.
From the Strand.

From the Strand.
A favorite hobby of the kaiser's is
painting and he is really capable artist,
with leaning toward seascapes. While
at sea he passes much of his time in
sketching and painting, and examples of
his work are to be seen in many of the
royal palaces of Europe. Most of the
British royal residences contain at least
one picture from his brush, including
Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, Bal
moral (where pair Of extremely we'll
drawn shooting pictures are displayed),
Sandringham and Marlborough House.
Mention of these works of art by the
kaiser recalls the fact that he likewise
contributed a sketch in what may, per-
raps, be termed the vigorously impress
sionistic" school to the unique collection
that Queen Alexandra and the Empress
Marie of Russia jointly own on the shores
of the sound. close to Copenhagen.
The pictures in the drawing room here
are all by royal artists, and are one Of
the most interesting little collections that
have ever been got together.

Money Earning Dogs.
From the Detroit Free Press,

FROM the Detroit Free Press.
To make ones living simply by owning
an animal does not sound a very profita-
BILE business. But there are dozens of
cases in which the possess. on of an in
telligent creature means money.
One Engi sh owner trained four dogs
three spaniels and q terrier-to hunt for
golf balls. and SO perfectly did they work
that they found upward of 300 balls
during the first summer they were en-
ployed.
A woman living in a London suburb
owns half-breed terrier. which had also
been trained to find lost balls. BY sell
ing those that are not claimed the dog &
owner Is able to send every year a
handsome donation to q char ty.
A well trained sporting dog-particular-
ly a retrieving spaniel-is always q source
of income. and one owner estimates that
his dog Is worth 500 year at least In
recovering birds and hares which would
be lost after they have been shot.

The Kaiser and Woman Suffrage.
From the Strand
From the Strand.

The kaiser, by the way. is one of the
most pronounced opponents Of womans
suffrage to be found. He holds-and at
tines he expresses his views with con-
siderable vigor of language-that
women have no right to seek to meddle
with politics in any shape or form, and
ne sternly discourages any reference
TO these subjects on the part of the
empress and his daughter.
Queen Mary once scored off his
majesty rather neatly. The emperor
was holding forth at some length upon
the unfittedness of women for admis-
sion to the franchise. What can they
know OF politics." he demanded, fierce
ly. Just about as much as q man
knows of the organization of a nursery
and the rearing of family" remarked
Queen Mary, quietly. The hit was much
appreciated by those present, since,
during the whole Of his visit. the kaiser
had paid constant visits to the nursery
OF the Prince of Wales and his young
er brothers. and had given many more
or less useful hints to those charged
with the care Of the children.

At the earnest solicitation of some Of
the California congressman. acting In the
interest of his friends, the State De-

to bear to obtain the release of c. A.
Heberlein. Telegraphic instructions have

Chihuahua to make a peremptory de-
mand upon the rebel leaders for Heber-
lein's immediate release.
No answer has yet been received to
the FIRST telegram instructing the consul
on that point AS II is known that tele-
graphic communication Is interrupted
partially and that messages are neces-
saFiIy reiayed for some distance by cou-
rier, 1t Is believed to be possible that the

THE FRocK COAT

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 We are told that the London good dress CTS are drowning on the frock coat be- cause a notorious murderer was photo graphed in one.
 This seems silly. If a murderer is pho tographed in sack coat. the easiest gar ment man ever wore. are sack coats so be condemned?
 Because waiter with a prison record happens to get a cafe job, are tail coats or dinner coats to be cast on the rubbish heap?
 Those London Johnnies are too finical
 The frock coat has its uses and it's admirers and they will continue to cling to it-or vice versa. For the man who likes to pose the frock is the thing. For the statesman who believes in looking the part, for the self conscious person who takes delight in his figure, for the man who desires to tone down an aldermanic rotundity, there is no coat like the frock- Aside from this, 1t Is graceful coat with harmonious lines. It lends itself to the demands of the sculptor and charita- bly, covers multitude of personal awk- wardnesses.
 The frock coat will live in spite of the fussy Johnnies.

Pay-as- You-Ente Cars

The pay-as-you-enter cars are to be tested in this city, and the sexpecta- tion is that they will be as favorably received here as they have been in other towns. As things are going all towns in the 100000 population class accept the pay-as-you-enter cars. A trial of them on strictly tentative basis would soon determine their popularity and usefulness.
 Such cars have clumsy, compound ed name, and it is a bit strange that a better name has not been applied to them. The great public generally fits to anything it favors a better name than the proposed cars bear, and pos sibly their use here will lead to a shorter title without losing anything in the way of distinctive meaning.

Peace in the Coal Fields

Agreements have been reached as to wages and hours of labor in both the hard coal fields of Pennsylvania and the soft coal fields that extend westward from the Pittsburg district. This means that new contracts will be signed and peace will prevail in these important districts during the two years to come.
 This takes out of a political year disturbing strikes in the northern coal districts, and it is very happy result. The terms agreed upon have not yet been published. The settlements Tn the two districts are, however, known to be compromises satisfactory to both employees and operators. When strikes are amicably settled in a pollt- ical year it is plain common sense and common justice are not altogether lost or mislaid, for both are needed in the settlement of strikes involving wages and the hours of labor.
 The operators do not stand to lose in any event, for they can recoup from consumers all that they are called upon to grant to miners.

AVERAGE INCOME AND COST OF
 LIVING

Robert Bruere, in Harpers Magazine for
 May.
 It has been customary in New York to adopt the conclusion of the Sage founda- ton, that for an average workingman's S family consisting of two adults and three children, or four adults. 'an income un- der $500 in New York city is not enough to permit the maintenance of normal standard families having from 800 to S10OO year are able in general to get food enough to keep soul and body to- gether and clothing and shelter enough to meet the most urgent demands of de- cency' Because, however, 75 per cent of the trade unions under consideration were located in the smaller cities of the state, the commission conservatively adopted S700 as the amount upon which family "can barely support itself, pro videi that it Is subject to no extraordinary expenditures by reason of sickness, death or other untoward circumstance"
 The secretaries of 211 trades unions re- ported that If employment had been con- stant, the average income of slightly more than half their numbers would have risen 10 5000 a year, while in only per cent would it have been less than $700. But owing to the constant demand for labor the average income actually fell below s700 in 25 per cent of the membership, and reached 5000 in only IA per cent

That Feeling of Clubdom

In Mr. Taft's Massachusetts attacks upon Colonel Roosevelt two things will attract attention beyond all else--the desire to defeat in 1909 the re-elec- tion of MT. Cannon as speaker, and his own letter of January, 1911, con- corning Lorimer. He sought to elect a speaker other than Cannon because he considered Uncle Joe foe of tar if revision downward, and he certain ly had him set down correctly. He is the firmest standpatter and reac- tionary in the land and he glories in it.
 In the Lorimer matter the President does for the first time show where he stands. In letter dated January 6, 1911, he said to the sage of Oyster Bay: q am convinced that there was a mess and mass of corruption upon which his election was founded that ought to be stamped with the disap- proval of the Senate. But I want the movement to oust him to succeed. have urged different senators to read the records carefully and after talk with Root, Burton and Knute Nelson and Crawford and some others, I be- lieve we are going to line up a good many of the regular republicans on the side of what I consider decency and honesty in politics. It has leaked out that I have been taking some in terest in the matter and I fear that it has not helped the situation generally because of that strong feeling of club dom in the Senate and that resent ment against outside interference which nobody who is not intimately acquainted with the situation can un- derstand the weight of"
 And so it appears that Lorimer and "the mass and mess of corruption" may yet be indorsed because of the feeling of clubdom in the Senate. The United States Senate was not organ ized by the fathers of the republic to serve as club in which courtesy is to outrank public policy and public jus tice, but we have the word of Presi- dent Taft that this feeling of clubdom may after all decide the Lorimer case. He may be kept in his seat in order to vindicate the independence of the Senate in acting as the judge of the qualifications of its own members. It has seated Ike Stephenson and it may seat Billy Lorimer, and these two may become the last surviving members of standpat republicanism.
 MT. Taft's Boston speech shows at any rate where he stands on the Lori mer issue. He says he has given no one the slightest reason to think that he had changed his attitude on the mess and mass of corruption from Illinois.
