MAJOR SYLVESTER
UPHELD BY HIS
OFFICERS
POLICE CAPTAINS IN WASHING.
TON SAY CHIEF TRIED TO
PROTECT sUFFRAGlSTs.

Washington, April 16.-Police cap
tains who commanded detachments on
PENNSYLVANIA avenue March 8, at the
time of the suffragette parade rallied
to the defense of their department to-
day when the senate sub committee re-
surfed hearing of the charges of police
neglect and inefficiency made by the
women marchers.
Six captains, a lieutenant and two
sergeants told practically the same
story. In their opinion Richard Syl-
vester, their chief, did everything pos
sible to preserve order and protect une
marchers and the officers and men
under him did their best to carry out
his instructions The captains de-
clared that n they had been permitted
to stop street car traffic two hours
sooner than they did, they would have
had little difficulty controlling the
crowd and protecting the parade.
Several officers said that there We're
not enough regular policemen to han
die the crowds and added that the
hundreds of specials" sworn in for
duty that day practically were useless
becduSe OIL lack OF training ana ulScl-
pline and the fact that they were not in
uniform.
Captain DAILY, who commanded a
section of the avenue near Seventh
street, where the trouble started, sug-
gested that he might have handled the
crowds better if some of the mounted
police detailed to escort President Will
son from the Union station to his hotel
had been detailed along Pennsylvania
avenue instead.
DR.. A. M. Zinkhan, an inferno in the
emergency hospital, told of going down
Pennsylvania avenue while making a
run back to the hospital and being
stopped by a man who stepped out Of
the line of march and waved a cane in
his drivers face. He said he learned
next day it was Senator Poindexter.
The committee expects to hear several
Officers tomorrow and probably will
end the hearing Friday.

M1LLlON-DOLLAR BOND ISSUE
ON THOMPSON FALLS ACREAGE

Thompson Falls, April 16.-(Spe-
cial)-EX-Senator Donan has been
spending few days in Sanders
county, looking after his interests in
this vicinity. Mr.. Donlan has recent
ly returned from New York. where he
has been since the adjournment of
the legislature, seeking to place a
large bond issue upon his ranch
located east of Thompson Falls. He
has incorporated his ranch property
and hopes to develop a large apple
orchard in the future.
The land upon which it is proposed
to set out fruit trees embraces the
old Grandchamps hay ranch, the old
Davidson ranch and several hundred
acres of cut-over stump lands, most
of which acreage has been cleared of
stumps and second growth pines. An
irrigated ditch was constructed two
years ago to bring the water upon
this land from Thompson river.
Sometime ago Mr.. Donian incorpor-
ated his land holdings. east of town,
and the corporation has issued sl,0o0,-

ESTIMATES DIFFER
AS TO THOSE
ON STRIKE

Brussels, April 16,-"At a time
when $4,000 men are on strike
was a phrase which occurred in
the premiers speech before the
chamber of deputies this afternoon,
He made reply to an attack on the
government by Herr Nandervelde,
the socialist leader, who declared
that 100000 men now We're involved
in the general strike in Belgium
for manhood suffrage.
The premter's remarks seemed
to be ofthand, and his estimates
cannot be regarded as official.
The central industrial commits
sion of Brussels, Il non-poltical
organizations, estimates that 2l7.5OO
WorlNncn engaged in five industries
have laid down their tools.
The premier. in answer to the
socialist and liberal attacks, reit-
Grated that the government could
not Yield to threats. When a lth-
eral deputy proposed a national
referendum on constitutional revi-.
sion, the premier said;
When quiet is restored the gov
ernment will be at your disposal to
study out the question:

600 in bonds against the property,
with an additional half million bond
issue authorized.
The former state senator has made
several trips east in an effort to float
the bonds and he believes they will
prove an attractive form of invest
ment for eastern or European capt.
taliSts. A Mr.. Anderson of Spokane
who was at one time Interested in the
promotion of the Pend d'Oreille smell
ter, has also been Interested in this
local matter. He and the senator have
made one or two trips to Paris and
Brussels, in the hope of interesting
foreign capital in the enterprise.
The Balkan war, however, has ere =
ated tightness in the Paris money
market, with the result that bond
dealers there are temporarily engaged
in financing the eastern war loans.

the past few weeks, since the ad-
journment of the Montana legislature.
Mr.. Donlan secured letters of. intro

the City National bank of New Yors
city, who, in turn, brought the mat
ter of the bond issue to the attentipr
of the loan department of the MutuJ
Life insurance company of New Norkr
who sometimes make large invest
ments in western securities
If the local corporation is success
ful in floating the bond issue, ther-
will undoubtedly be much activity in
the planting of a large orchard acru-
age on the Donlan tract of land. #
is understood that Spokane bans
has agreed to act as trustee in the
disposal of the bond issue.
If the deal is successfully CARRIE
through and the proposed orchard in
Vestment proves to be commercials
successful, there will undoubtedly be
other orchard promotions along the
west end Of Sanders county, as there
are thousands of acres of cut-oVeF
stump lands in this vicinity whic6
if cleared and irrigated. will make fine
orchard, grain and hay lands.

sued by the physicians today indicated
that the condition of the pope practi-
cally is stationary. The evening bull
letins was of a more optimistic tone,
as it indicated that the temperature
was normal and that there had been
no recurrence of the usual night fever.
The fact, however, that the bron-
chial affection has not been over
come detracts somewhat from the
hopeful character of the report. as the
occasional paroxysms of coughing are
taxing the strength of the patient
who already has been under great
strain.

The Statement.

"lmmediately after the resignation
rcau had been submitted to President
Wilson and accepted by him, charges
We're filed with the secretary OF agri-
culture by responsible men on the
outside. These charges were of SO
grave a nature that the secretary of
agriculture called upon the depart
ment of justice for an investigation.
"The investigation still is under
way, but the facts so far secured and
laid before the president yesterday
We're sufficient to warrant his decid-
ing to withdraw his acceptance of
Professor Moorc's resignation and re-
move him summarily. which has been
done today. Tho secretary has also
directed the secretary of agriculture
to suspend Charles l.. Burns, an en-
ploye of the weather bureau, pending
and such disciplinary measures as he
may deem necessary With such other
employees OF the weather bureau as
may have been unduly active in using
the public service for private ends"
Inofficially it was said at the
White House that the campaign to
make Mr.. Moore secretary of agrl-
culture had been extensive; that
members of congress in various parts
of the country had been canvassed
and that a letter writing campaign
had been conducted among the
weather bureau employees.

Washington, April 16.-The demo-
cratic caucus voted decisively late to-
day to support the wool schedule of the
Underwood tariff bill, placing raw wool
on the free list, after Representative
Underwood had made a stirring appeal
for the support of the caucus.
BY vote of 100 to AZ an amend
ment offered by Representative Dies of
Texas to place raw wool on the duti-
able list was rejected.
Representative Dies amendment
proposed to place duty of Is per cent
ad valorem on raw wool, he and other
champions of dutiable wool insisting
that this was the judgment of the ways
and means committee before President
Wilson saw the bill and suggested a
change.
Majority Leader Underwood, in clos
ing the discussion, warmly defended
both the committee and the president
He declared that the president had a
right to make suggestions ito congress
relating to the tariff, but that the bill
as a whole met with the chief execu-
tives approval when he first read it
as it came from the committee.
Said Mr.. Underwood, "The presi-
dent only made two suggestions,
those affecting the sugar and wool
schedules 1t seems to me that we
should accept those suggestions from
the president Of the United States"
Representatives Rainey of Illinois
and Harrison of New York, also on
behalf of the committee spoke in de-
Tense of it's action and the attitude of
the president. The attack upon the
committee and president began as soon
as the insurgent democrats opened dis
cussion on the schedule
Oversteps Bounds.
Representative Alexander of Mis-
souri, declared that the committee over
stepped all proper bounds in holding
up President Wilson as a club over the
heads of the members and that the
president had exerted undue influ-
ence' in having wool placed on the free
list in the bill
Representative Montague of Vir-
ginia, a new member, defended the
president in a spirited speech, declar-
ing that it was his constitutional and
inherent right" to suggest what should
go in a tariff bill and that neither he
nor the committee were subject to
criticism for their cooperation in
framing the bill.
Representative Dies insisted that the
government was made up of three dis
tinctive branches with separate duties
to perform.
TT not only is the right of congress- -
he said, 'to originate revenue meas
ures but it's exclusive right, and any
attempt from another branch of the
government to dictate or interfere with
that right should not be permitted by
this body
The debate on this phase of the tar
iff fight was heated and prolonged.
Representative Curley of Massachu-
setts was one of the presidents cham
pions. Among the principal supporters
of the Dies amendment for a Is per
cent wool duty were Representatives
Ashbrook, Post and Bathrick of Ohio;
Ferguson of New Mexico, Adair and
Cline of Indiana and Stout of Montana.
The AZ democrats who voted for the
Is per cent duty were Adair, Barn
hart and Cline of Indiana; Alexander
of Missouri; Ashbrook, Bathrick, Clay

A Target.

Professor Moore has been a target
for attack in congress. A few days
ago a resolution was introduced call
ing on the secretary of agriculture to
advise congress regarding the appro-
priations for official operating ex-
penses of the weather bureau: what
amount of lump sum for salaries in
the weather bureau was expended for
promotions of weather bureau cin
ployes last January and February and
the comparative figures for the pre-
ceding four years.
The resolution asking for informa-
ton as to what journeys were per.
formed by Charles L. Burns, under
official orders and under what instruc-
tions, between July /, 1912, and Feb
ruary 2S last, and also called for data
regarding circulars and other printed
matter at government expense, and
used by the chief of the weather bu-
reau in his campaign for secretary Of
agriculture in the last fiscal year"
The house committee on expendl-
lures in the agricultural department
mad planned last year an exhaustive
investigation into the weather bureau,
but was prevented from making it on

AGAIN lower. with the ewather map
practically ideal, but another wave of
short covering was encountered which
carried values to new high level.
Weekly weather report complains of
low temperatures, but beneficial rains
were mentioned, and bulk of opinion
was that the growing crop must be
progressing favorably. Principal south
ern spot markets quoted unchanged to

The more optimistic tone in Wall
street was reflected in the heavy buy
ing from that quarter. tendency to
ease was noted in the last hour, but
rumors that the Giles report would
be more bullish than had been antici-

The tone is decidedly more nervous
