|ARRA|CNS WAGE SCALE
IN THE UNITED STATES
Senator Reed Opposes Literacy Test
Provision in Immigra-
ton Bill.

The immigration bill was before the
Senate when 1t met today at II o'clock,
having taken a recess last evening
until that hour today. Senator Reed
of Missouri Immediately took the floor
in opposition to the literacy test pro-
vision of the bill. During his argument
against the test Senator Reed took
occasion to arraign the wage scale In
the United States.
Taken as a whole, the wage-earner
in the United States never receives
more than SO per cent of what he
earns" said Senator Reed. NO man
ever employs another man unless he
knows that the employe can produce
twice as much in. value as he re-
ceives in wages. It is not the prin-
ciple of the employer to pay the em-
ploye anything like the just share of
what he rightly earns"
Declaring that he did not disapprove
the recent strike in Lawrence. Mass,
and in the West Virginia coal fields
because the strikers took the only
course left open to them. Senator Reed
asserted that the wages fixed by Ameri-
can corporations are SO low that men
are driven to acts of violence.

stacle to a purchase of the German
lands was the financial burden impos-
ed upon the Russian government and
the dificulty of satisfactory ap-
praisal.
The Germans, who have always been
antagonistic to this plan, are objecting
to a government appraisal now, and
are more than ever opposed to the
scheme on the ground that Russian
bonds are marketing at three-fourths
of their face value. Delegations OF non
Germans recently lodged a protest
with the Russian government that such
a measure would depreclate iano
value and lessen productiveness, since
there would be fewer buyers and be-
cause the Germans are agriculturally
skillful.

Henry c. FRE|TAG DIES
FROM EFFECTS OF GAS
Former Saloonkeeper Found Lifeless
in Room on Third Floor of
Place of Business.
Pair Of Trousers, Thrown Over
Bracket, Is Thought to Have
Accidentally Opened Jet.

Henry c. Freitag, forty three years
old, who has conducted IL lunchrooln
at 31S eth street northwest since the
operation of the Jones' Works liquor
law compelled him to go out of the
liquor business, was found dead in a
room on the third floor of the 9th street
building this morning. An open gas
jet explained his death.
The condition of things in the room,
it is stated, made it plain that his
death was the result OF an accident
and that he did not commit suicide.
Many wild rumorS were in circulation
soon after it became known that the
former saloonkeeper was dead. but they
were disposed of quickly by an invcs-
tigation by the coroner and police.
n pair of trousers thrown over 4 wall
bracket, it is thought, accidentally
opened the jet and permitted the gas
to escape. treitag had disrobed and
retired. He had neglected to leave the
window or door open, however. SO tnat
there was no chance for the escaping
gas to leave the room.
Suspected Something Wrong.
j. a. White colored, who has been
in the oyster business in front of the
Freitag saloon for many years and
who only moved from there last week
because Freitag had arranged to sur
render possession of the premises to-
morrow, suspected something wrong
when the restaurant keeper failed to
open his place of business this MORN
ing.
Several of Freitag's employees were
on hand at the usual hour. They dis
cussed Freitags whereabouts with
White, and the latter went to the
home of Henry c. Freitag, who had
been mana ger of his sons business, and
told him OF the sons failure to appear
in the restaurant this morning.
The elder Freitag hurried to the res
taurant from his home. at 1915 c street
southeast, to the place of business. He
found the door locked on the inside.
Unable to open the door, he went
through the adjoining house. broke a
window and entered. His sons dead
body was resting ON the bed and gas
was still flowing from the partly open
JET.
The deceased, who was a native OF
Germany, came to this country nearly
twenty years ago. His mother died in
Germany about fifteen years ago, and
shortly after her death the elder Frei-
tag came here to live with his chill
dren.

Finding the new business was not
profitable, Freitag concluded to aban-
don it and had arranged to close out
tomorrow. Last night father and son
fore parting the elder Freitag re-
marked that he would not return there
again.
The deceased is survived by his
father, two brothers and sister. His

of Philadelphia, and William Freitas,

RUSSIA PLANS TO BUY
GERMAN OWNED LANDS
Imperial Council Proposes to Pay
for Seized Property in 4
Per Cent Bonds.

PETROGRAD. December 20, via Lon
don. December 30.-The members of the
imperial council, while considering at a
private meeting today the question of
the restriction of German land holding
in Russia, formulated a proposal that
German property be appraised by the
government. and that German Russian
citizens be compelled to surrender
their land. which will be paid for by
the Russian government in bonds pay
ing per cent. This measure if ap-
proved by the government will apply
only to land acquired by German set
tiers since 1870.
The number of Russian citizens OF
this class is not readily ascertainable
since many OF German descent and
with German names pass as Let's and
f;sthonians in the Baltic provinces, and
rs Poles in Poland. Therefore, the esti-
mates vary from four to eight millions
Valued at $500, 100000.
The land owned by Germans fringes
the entire Russian boundary, and is
said to be worth 1,000,000,000 rubles
