though the samo coal costs at the mines
from 500 to S1.9o a ton Several items
enter into this difference in cost, but in

RICHEST FRENCHWOMAN

Frau Krupp is undoubtedly the
richest person in Germany, and ac-
cording to some authorities the
wealthiest of French taxpayers is
also a woman.
Nine. Lebaudy, mother of Jacques,
emperor of Sahara. is believed to be
worth at least fS,OOO,0OO. She holds
her wealth in horror and lives under
an assumed name in order to avoid
publicity. Her residence all the year
round is small fiat in Versailles,
where the domestic staff consists of
one servant, who is assisted in the
work by her mistress
Nine. Lebaudy gives away nearly
the whole of her income, most of her
donations being bestowed anonymous
ly. 1t is an open secret, however,
that for many years past she has
made up the annual deficit of the
leading French royalst paper. which
usually amounts to about 10000

BLEAK MONGOLIA.

Beyond the forests of Siberia lies
the barren centre of the Asiatic
continent-that inhospitable, desolate
land of nakedness, the haunt of roam
ing nomads, region of bitter winds
and hostile climate. In the very heart
of the greatest continent, in that part
of the earth's surface which is
farthest removed from the sea. lies
the lone, bleak land of Mongolia.
In all it's immense area, says Wide
World Magazine, there are but few
towns where men live settled lives
and it possesses but a scanty popu-
lation, while. because by it's very
position it is cut off from the soft
ening influence of the sea, it presents
a dreary aspect of windy wastes, end
less steppes and barren mountains
Wild and wide is Mongolia, stretch
ing as it does for 1000 miles in the
savage splendor of limitless expanse.
Man cannot rest in such country
nor live a sedentary life. 1t has been
the birthplace of the greatest migra-
tions the world has ever seen. Rest
less movements, in fact, is the very
spirit of Mongolia, What history
this land could tell if only it's
deserts could speak and its mountains
bear witnessl Here rode Genghis
the Mongol Alexander, the most
ruthless and inhuman destroyer the
world has experienced. On these wide
plateaus wandered those Mongol
herdsmen who fed their fiocks and
moved their camps with complete
content and splendid isolation, until
at last the wanderlust came over
them and they burst out from their
Businesses to overrun the world.

LONG ON CAPITALS.

New Zealand is greedy in the mat
ter of capitals. 1t has already four.
and yet it is demanding a fifth. The
present ones are Auckland, the old
original metropolis; Wellington, the
present political capital; Dunedin, the
commercial capital founded by the
Free Church of Scotland, and Christ
church, the ecclesiastical capital.
founded by the Church of England.
Wellington is the viceregal and par
liamentary city, but it has suffered
severely from fires, earthquake
shocks and various other drawbacks.
Hence the present movement for the
construction of an entirely new me-
tropolis on a beautiful central site.

Langham raised himself on his ell

THE PEOPLES ROSTRUM
Omen Theatres sundays.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Sir-For the past two or three sun
days, or ever since the Ohio food sit
uation arose, have noticed that most
of the moving picture theatres nave
been open on that day. They have
been open for the purpose of giving
benefits for the flood sufferers and as
far as personal observation goes have
been attended by the same orderly
crowds that patronize them on week
days.
The idea of allowing the theatres to
remain open on Sundays for benefits
brings up this thought: Why not al
low the theatres to remain open every
Sunday, provided a certain percent
age of the receiptsyare turned over to
some organized body for charitable
purposes?
This plan has been worked in De-
troit for a number of years, and has
resulted in furnishing a goodly sum
of money each year for charitable
purposes, making many of the organ
izations practically self-supporting,
and doing away with a great deal of
the soliciting from business men.
Another thing that might be con-
sidered is the fact that the money OBJ
tanned through this percentage would
come from persons who in the ordi-
nary manner would not contribute
anything to charitable purposes. In
other words. I mean the workingman
would be able to contribute his mite
to charity and at the same time be
obtaining amusement for himself.
The writer has been in many cities
where the theatres are allowed to
open on Sunday and has, from per-
sonal observation, noticed that in the
cities where the theatres are open
that there are far fewer persons
spending their Sundays hanging
around the saloons that are open, the
law to the contrary Notwithstanding,
than there are in towns where thea
tres are closed. DUKE.

WASHINGTON, April TO-
1t is a straight-ont fight as to
whether the President or the Senate
is to control the tariff situation. AL
though he was beaten in the House
caucus by the Underwood forces in
the attempt to secure open sessions
of the caucus, the President realizes
that there is no danger of serious
party division in that body, so far
as the tariff bill is concerned.
In one determination, if no other,
President Wilson and Chairman I'm
derwood are in entire agreement.
Both are anxious to have the revision
made by a united party vote, and to
have the new tariff passed as reve-
nue. and not as protective tariff,
Both know that if the bars are let
down at all and any of the schedules
are opened for changes when the bill
gets onto the floor of either body,
there will ensue the same log rolling
and wire-pulling and swapping to
boost the rates on various schedules,
in order that members can take care
of their local industries that pre-
vailed in the making of the Payne
Aldrich bill.
Since the details Of the Underwood
bill became known, and the President
announced his determination to stand
for a reduction of the tariff on sugar
and for free wool, there has been all
sorts of defiant talk in the Senate.
Senators from the wool and sugar
States have openly threatened re-
bellion and insurgency, and this news,
carried to the White House, is the
real reason for the Presidents per-
sonal delivery of his address in the
House and his personal visit to the
Capitol to confer with senator's who
are on the warpath,
In a Democratic Senate caucus the
other day, it is reported. Senator
Newlands,- of Nevada, prophesied dire
disaster to the country and to the
party if the free wool and free sugar
program was carried out. He told
the Democratic senators that if they
put through this program none OF
them would live to see any State west
of the Missouri river go Democratic
again.
Appeals have been made by SEN
ators from the wool and sugar States
TO Republicans from New York and
New England to help save these. in

ufactured products.
"Oh, no. the rest of the bill is all
right is about what the wool and
sugar insurgents have said.
Then take your medicine, and
We'll sit by and watch you swallow
the DOSE" is in effect what the Re-
publicans have retorted.
Washington fairly seethes with
manufacturers and representatives of
labor and other organizations, all
protesting that the passage of the
Underwood bill will destroy indus
tries, put men out of work and cause
depression and hard times. 1t is
difficult to mention a heretofore pro-
teeted industry or occupation that is
not represented in the lobby. Gener-
ally. though, it is an unhappy, dis
couraged and hopeless lobby. The
men who are kicking are given no
encouragement anywhere. Such old
time leaders of Cannonism as Serene
Payne, of New York, announce that
the country have all the revenue
tariff and free trade it wants, in the
belief that the passage of the Under
wood bill will bring the Republican
party back into power in the next
Congress.
In the backs of the minds of the
men who are criticizing the President
there is, some OF them admit, be-
lief that the country approves of
what he is doing, and looks to him,
rather than to Congress, for agrees
sive leadership and action in forcing
reforms
Wonder why Roosevelt didn't
think of it?" a lot of people all overy
the country are saying, since tho
President read his message in Con4
gress the other day.
l am informed that Roosevelt did
think of it, that he knew of the pre-
cedent established by Washington
and Adams, and talked of doing the
same thing himself. Why he didn't
do it, nobody seems to know.
A friend of the President said
something of this sort to Mr.. Will
son. after he left the Capitol after
reading his message, and the Presi-
dent smiled.

To the Editor of the Evening STAR
For a city the size of Newark it
appears that the least we should
contribute to the fund for the flood
sufferers of Ohio and Indiana is s25.-
00O Newark has such a vast array
of manufacturing plants in operation
and with such d large population
that it seems the sum mentioned
could easily be subscribed within
week at the utmost.
When the fund was first started
many of the large firms contributed
generously and without hesitation.
Still there are a number OF other
concerns which are hourishirT here
and could easily afford to contribute
generously and have not as yet made
any donation. One OF the members
of the Board Of Trade was heard to
say that $4,000 could easily have
been pledged at once, and that we'll
to-do Newark merchants would make
good this amount in a few days.
While the fund has been growing
steadily the increase is very slow,
considering the wealth of Newark. A
large amount of the donations which
have been added to the fund recently
have come through the poorer class
of people patronlzing moving picture
theatres where benefit performances
are given.
1t does not seem likely that many
of NewarlSs wealthy folk realize the
terrible sufferings which are being
endured by the people in the stricken
Western cities. The fact that other
large cities have contributed gener-
ously is no reason why Newark
should not do it's part. The fund of
$25, 900 which the flood fund commit
tee started out to collect should have
been subscribed by this time. 1t is
hoped that those who can easily
spare substantial contributions and
have not yet done so will get in line
at once. 1t would not look well for
Newark to be dilatory in helping to
