 The idea Of adding fixed ten percent to the bill Is something new for London, although 1t was tried out some years ago in the provinces and eventually given up. The plan has become general also in Italy, poland and some other continental countries.
 In Poland, Italy and Germany as well as in the hotels here which have adopted the plan. the servants took the initiative and forced the situation, and in most instances they say they do equally as we'll, and oft en better, than formerly,
 Walters in London who cater to the American trade say they most certainly favor the ten percent addi- tons to the bill because most Amer icaus pay that tax ans give a liberal tip beside.

 Tt is nothing less than travosty on the American system of horern- ment to ask or expect or to permit the federal government, under the claim that u state needs It's help, to give the state actually moro than the people of the state pay in fed- eral income taxes, or nearly as much or anywhere near as much. If that is going to be done all idea of state initiative and accomplishment might as we'll be abandoned,
 The 31 states have 62 out of 96 senators and 361 out of 45b repre- sentatlves in congress, much more than a majority in both houses.
 Not Right Policy
 "The country has no right to adopt a policy of this kind for the benefit of few states and few of the people at tho expense of the many. If 1t continues, the people of the few states which profit never will learn the lessons of local self government. Why should they, so long as a federal government, utiliz- ing other peopos money, continue to pay their bills?
 How much better 1t would be, not to rest content with barring the extension of the system to added purposes, but to seem to profit by 1t 10 solve their local needs through the exercise of that spirit of Ameri- can initiative and grit and deter imitation which has not yet failed when put to the test, which will not fail now and without which local sclf-government cannot endure"

WeScott Stearns, of Washington, was
reman to Jail late yesterday to

Two alleged companions r. W.
Warren, and S. T. Kent Oliver, are
reported to be held in Ohio on the

The story of the "Durkee estate" on
which the alleged fraud was based as

of the most colorful in years.
Charles Durkee was a railroad pro-
moter, Interested in the building of
the Southern Pacific in the late Cos.
The three men, according TO
Assistant District Attorney James T.
Garter, found that the Government re-
euired a bond of S64 200, 900 from the
builders of the Southern Pacific when
construction was started, as evidence
of good faith in their intentions to
complete the road Though the bond
was returned to the guarantors when
the road was completed, StearnS and
his two friends wrote to all the heirs
of Durkee, it is charged, telling them
that the money was still held by the
Government and, with interest, the
amount due now amounted to 100000
900.
The men are accused of obtaining
So 900 from these heirs on the repre-
sentation that they would need that
much to establish the claim of the
heirs to Durkee's share of the money.

Morris Hillquit, New York Socialist
leader, addressing the International
Socialist Congress, or Second Interna-

ever, that the American people are
not imperialistic.
Hillquit was the final speaker on
the peace program of the congress.
He said that he foresaw war for the
United States, particularly with Mexi-

magnates want Mexican oil. Ameri-
cans dominate the Western Hemi-

showing impatience to become mas
