r. r;s policies n ARE NOT SIMILAR TO BALLINGERS

So Pinchot Sharply Informed Vertrees When Asked if the Two Men Did Not Hold the! Same Views. WOMEN ARE REBUKED BY THE COMMISSION Are Told to Cut Out Bringing Meals to the Hearing Vertrees Calls Pinchot, "Mr. Roosevelt." (American News Service) Washington, March 5, Many women who have been In the habit of bringing their lunches with them while attending the congressional in vestigation of the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy were notified today to cut it out as such practices could not be permitted. The committee held executive session early this forenoon. The crowds ia the. .public chamber were unabated. Former Secretary 'of the Interior Garfield will follow Pinchot on the stand. Garfield will substantiate Pinchot's charges. The cross examination of Pinchot i was resumed today. Vertrees read jfrom President Roosevelt's recommendations, in a message to congress in. regard to the amending of the Alaskan land laws, and asked the witness If It was not true that his recommendations and the statements of Ballinger, ia urging the coal bill, were not substantially the same. Makes a Tart Reply. i "Do you read in that message," said j Pinchot, with emphasis, "that President Roosevelt advocated patenting of the claims which were fraudulant? I certainly don't." "I wasn't asking you about that, Mr. Roosevelt," remarked Vertrees absent mindedly. "That's not my name, Mr. Vertrees" replied Pinchot, amid laughter. Pinchot and Vertrees then became involved in an argument about what should or should not be drawn from the president's message and Ballingefa statement before the congressional committee. Then Chairman Nelson shut them up by saying that the com- . mittee was competent to form its own conclusions and requesting that the examination proceed. Vertrees asked Pinchot if it wasn't true that Secretary Garfield and Ballinger had not appeared before the committee of congress and advocated the same sort of legislation for amending the Alaskan coal land law. "As I understood," said Pinchot, "Garfield advocated legislation whereby the people of the United States would get for the coal all the coal was worth, Ballinger advocated a bill which, would enable the claimants to Set the coal for $10 an acre." IS A MODEL SCHOOL Williamsburg High School Is One of the Very Best in the State. IT HAS BEEN REMODELED . (Palladium Special) - J Williamsburg, Ind., March jV-The public school at Williamsburg is now a full fledged commercial school, the authorities having received a certificate to this effect from the State Board of Education a few days ago. The building has been entirely remodeled by the present trustee, William E. Brown, and two new rooms have been added. Teachers to meet every requirement have been employed and the school is pronounced by authorities who have Inspected it, as a model township school, in which superior work is being done in all departments. Charles O. Williams, who is principal of the school, is now teaching his sixth year. Miss Mae Green, a graduate of Hanover, and Henry F. Kamp of Richmond, are the assistants. . The school authorities are being highly commended for their foresight and enterprise in placing the school on an equal footing with the best schools in the state. HEW POOL PARLORS Frank Crumps former proprietor of the City bowling alleys, has engaged one of the basement rooms in the Murray theater building and will open up a pol and billiard parlor. The tables have been ordered but delay in their arrival has necessitated the postponement of the opening of the parlors. Tha Other Way. -Maude So Jack is engaged, Is he?

DIAMOND CHIPS

In order to put more ginger in the playing of Titus, the Phillies' right fielder, Manager Dooin has agreed to give him $10 every time he is put out of the game this season by the umpire for growling. Dooin asserts that Titus is too easy going and is trying to encourage him to be more aggressive. Manager Dooin says: "My one dream is to see Titus thrown off the field in the opening game. If this is done I am convinced then that nothing will keep us from winning the pennant." Joe Catillon, the boss swappist of the American Association, is reported as willing to trade "Kido'' Wilson to Charley Carr for two sets of uniforms for his Millers. Carr, who owns a large block of stock in a firm that makes uniforms and himself travels for the company in winter is therefore in a position to grant Cantillon's de mand. This is not the first time Joe has traded a ball player for outfits, as several years ago he is reported to have given Pitcher Oscar Graham to the Hioosiers for the uniforms the Millers wore last season. Tim Murnane knows how to manage those New England League magnates, .'t looked for a time in the annual meeting as though there was going to be as lively a scrap over the establishment of the schedule as the National League had, but some of the wiser ones in the bunch, deploring any such action, fixed things up by the direction of Presilent Murnane. Murnane is level headed enough and knows the game as well as any man in the East, so his New England constituents believe that he is qualified to head a much larger league than the little old New England organization. Frank Dwyer, the old Cincinnati pitcher and ex-American and National League umpire, who for years bore the title of the headiest pitcher in the big league, but is now a quiet Geneva (N. Y.) business man, has succumbed to the urgings of the Cornell University Athletic association, and will spend some time at Ithaca whipping the Cornell twirling staff into shape. For several seasons Dwyer has umpired all the big games at Cornell, but refused to accept the lucrative offers to coach on account of his business ties. Hughey Jennings, the Detroit manager, a particular friend of the Geneva man, has consented to help whip the Cornell team in shape, and it is largely on his account that Dwyer has agreed to go to Ithaca and coach the pitchers. Christy Mathewson has fastened that old fadeaway on his initial literary delivery and it reads "Won in the Ninth." Big Six has high hopes that the fans will land on it and knock it into the twentieth edition territory. Anyway, the book is finished and on March 15 the R. J. Bodmer Company of 437 Fifth avenue, New York, will ease it up to the spectators, who will then hand down their decision. No less than 24 southpaws will receive trials by the eight American League managers this jspring. Cleveland has Linke, Mitchell and Gregg; Philadelphia has Krause, Plank and Atkins; Detroit, Killian, Speer and Pernol; New York, Vaughn, Wolter, Frill and Clunn: Chicago, White, Sutor, and Burns; Boston, Karger, Colline and Thompson: St. Louis, Waddell, Bailey and Graham, and Washington, Gray. Declaring that his career as a baseball pitcher has been cut short. Earl Proctor of Rockville Center, N. Y., has brought suit against a milling company of that place for $10,000 because his right thumb was severed by a buzz saw. Proctor, who is only 20 years, old, was last year the star pitcher of a champion high schoool base ball team and believed that a notable career in professional base ball was before him. Manager Chance says that he will require all Cub catchers to wear shin guards this season, after the fashion of Roger Bresnahan of the Cardinals and Larry McLean of the Reds. He believes the device originated by the St. Louis manager is a great preventive of injuries, especially of the minor kind, which are bound to effect the backstop's work, even when they are not serious enough to keep him out of the game. Wilbert Robinson, the veteran Baltimore catcher engaged by McGraw to coach the Giant pitchers, has been confined to his room at Marlin by an attack of gout. McGraw believes that Robinson is the best man in the country at instructing -kid pitchers, and points out that Bill HofferT Arlie Pond, Joe Corbett and JimmyMcJames all old Baltimore pitchers, 4 did not show any class until Wilbert bega'n to catch them. BUYS STOCK CHEAP Forty-five Hundred Shares Corporations Go to Woman for $5. in IN MINING PROPERTIES The Dickinson Trust company, administrator of the estate of the late Elt Morris, has filed report of the sale of approximately 4,o00 shares of capital stock in different corporations, to Mrs. Eliza W. Morris, the widow, for the sum of $5. No appraised value was placed on the stock by the appraisers of the decedent's property. The stocks whica the administrator sold included; five shares of capital stock of the National Co-Operative Oil and Refining Co.; four thousand shares of capital stock of the Tina H. Gold mining Co.; one hundred shares of capital stock of Combined Mining and Leasing company; two hundred shares of capital stock of the Hull Copper Co.

WAS HIS TOUR A BENEFIT TO JEFF

Some Doubt Expressed as to Whether It Helped the Least Degree. MEEDS SEVERE TRAINING LATE, IRREGULAR HOURS AND FLY BY NIGHT WHIRLS ENOUGH TO UPSET THE STAMINA OF GlANT ELEPHANT. The settling down of Jim Jeffries to do hard training for his coming fight with Jack Johnson has been a decided relief to the many thousands of fight fans who pin their faith on the ability of the big fellow to win back the championship. Despite all the assertions of Jeffries' astute manager and clever press agent, Samuel Berger, to the effect that Jim has benefited greatly by his work with Gotch, the world's wrestling champion, and several other members of the troupe, it has proved a hard matter to convince the public that playing one night stands throughout the country is an invaluable aid to a veteran who wishes to get into top notch condition for what promises to be the toughest and most trying of his career. Late, irregular hours, badly cooked meals, fly by night whirls across the country and consequent strain on nerves and temper make up a combination calculated to upset the physical stamina of a bull elephant, and Jeffries, Hercules though he may be, is only human, after all. That he is far from being in shape even to box at a fast clip is the opinion of fistic experts iu every big city where he has appeared. His bouts with Berger on the stage have always been conducted in a leisurely fashiou and have proved rather a disappointment to those who expect the Jeffries of old days forcing his opponent into a rattling pace and showing the vim and dash of an athlete who thoroughly enjoys his work. For it must be conceded that the big fellow sparred very much in the style of the man who had a disagreeable task to perform and was heartily glad when it was finished. Yet when it is remembered that Jeffries has not participated in a ring en counter since the fateful night of Aug. 26, 1904. when he put a stop to the aspirations of Jack Munroe by effectively squelching the Butte miner in two rounds, there is scant room for wonder at his failure to display any astonishing amount of speed in his preliminary warming up gallops. Five years of absence from the squared circle must inevitably slow down any fighter, even if he has led a life of Spartan simplicity during the interval. And the world at large, at least the sporting portion of it. knows that Jeffries has not done so. The big fellow was never known to deny himself any of the creature comforts of existence. He lived well, drank as much as he thought fitting and, in a word, enjoyed himself thoroughly, as a man may be expected to do who never intends to pick up a challenger's ganntle and engage in warfare for the championship crown. "Up to the present, therefore, when these things are taken into consideration, JeJf has accomplished something worth doing by getting rid of much of the adipose tissue which the years of idleness added to his belt line. It is a far cry from now to the Fourth of July, the date set for the contest, fcnt the time is none too long for the conditioning of the retired king of the heavies. He must undergo a training fiege of unusual length and severity if he expects to bring his breathing apparatus up to nny thing like its old standard of perfection, restore elasticity and power to his mighty muscles and step into the ring a fit and dangerous opponent for the wily negro. Nobody realizes this better than Jeffries himself. Despite the many interviews published as coming from the ex-champion, in which he is supposed to have expressed himself contemptuously regarding Johnson's fighting ability, it can be safely asserted that Jeffries does not undervalue the prowess of his prospective antagonist. During his entire career as a pugilist he never made the mistake of holding an opponent too cheap, an error which has led to the downfall of many a high class glove artist. Munroe was undoubtedly the softest sacrifice that capricious fortune ever offered up at the Jeffries shrine, and the then champion knew iu advance that the miner was not even of good third class rating. Yet he did not neglect his training on this account, for when he faced Munroe at Frisco he was in superb shape, keyed up to concert pitch and fit to battle all night if it had been necessejy. It is only fair to surmise that Jeff possesses just as much horse sense today as he did some five years ago, and the man who refused to take chances with Jack Munroe is not likely to be galled into accepting the much more formidable Johnson a an easy money gift. ' Georgetown In Poughkeepsie Event. Georgetown university will make its reappearance in the Poughkeepsie (N. Y.) rowing regatta next June in a new eight oared shell designed by Coach Pat Dempsey.

HE VADESWDDIHG

Twice and Is Now Being Held in the County Jail for Trial. A PERPLEXED DEFENDANT Paternity proceedings were instituted in Squire Abbott's court this morning by Rosa Gibbs. against Carl Phillips. , Phillips was arrested yesterday at Losantville, by Constable Ben Crump and brought to this city. In the squire's court Phillips stated that he couldn't marry the plaintiff because he didn't know whether he was divorcea from the woman whom he had married four years ago. The man made arrangements to marry the Gibbs woman last summer, but he failed to put in an appearance on the day set for the wedding. Phillips returned to this city and the date for the nuptial was again set. But again the man put a muffler on the wedding bells and v-aid they would not ring for him, skipping out while his bride was waiting at the church. It was learned yesterday that he was at Losantville and his arrest was ordered. Phillips waived preliminary examination and was bound over to the circuit court. REPORTED KILLED Met Their Death by an Avalanche in a British Columbia Pass. SNOWPLOW CREWS BURIED RESCUERS WERE SENT FROM ALL THE NEIGHBORING LUMBCrt AND MINING CAMPS WHEN ThE REPORT CAME. (American News Service) Vancouver, B. C, March 5. A dispatch from Revelstoke today says that 10O men have been killed by a gigantic snowslide in Rogers Pass, just east of Glacier. The valanche, which occurred at 1 oclock, this morning, buried the crews of two rotary snowplows, comprising from sixty to ltiO imcn, according to various estimates. It is believed here the number is fully liso. Revelstoke, B. C, lies in the Selkirk range, a spur of the Rockies. It is a town of l.titio inhabitants. Aid Promptly Sent. Aid was sent to the scene of the disaster from Revelstoke, Beaver, and Kamloops. Mining and lumber, camps in the immediate vicinity were immediately drawn on for the rescue force. The reports received here say that the roar of the avalanche one of the worst in many years, was heard for miles. The Chinook wind the warm breeze blowing from the Japa stream and rains, are adding continually to the menace of snow slides throughout the mountain districts. KING IS SATISFIED With the Political Outlook in England and Will Visit the Continent. COUNCIL WAS HELD TODAY London. March r. King Edward is thoroughly satisfied with the political situation and will leave for the continent tomorrow. He held a final conference with his privy council today however, and went thoroughly into all details of the political phases that are now puzzling the nation. The meeting was held at Buckingham Palace and was of longer duration than the usual privy council meetings. The king is in poorer health than usual this year and is counting greatly on his stay at Biarritz to recuperate. The political crisis has been a great strain on the sovereign as well as on his cabinet ministers. His advisers have told him that the Asquith ministry will survive the struggle until the Easter recess, at least, and the king has taken the opportunity to slip away for a rest. PLAN MASS MEETING The federated clubs of Richmond propose soon to hold a mass meeting, conducted by the women, in the interests of pure food. The health department is in entire sympathy with the movement and will probably secure the services of Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, and Henry Barnard, chief of the chemical department of the state laboratory, to assist and deliver addresses at the meeting. The meeting will be devoted to the consideration of the tuberculin test of dairy herds and to emphasize the demand for pure milk supply for Richmond. No definite arrangement has been decided upon for the date or jlace to hold the meeting. The announcement in this regard, will be made later. V

HUNDRED

MEN

DECREE IS GIVEN I

IN ASTQR DIVORCE Application Has Been Formally Granted, But Must Not Be Sealed. ALIMONY IS A MYSTERY ONLY $50,0C0 A YEAR IT HAS BEEN COMMONLY REPORTED PLAINTIFF CAN NEVER REMARRY DEFENDANT. New York. March 3. Beneath the signature which made final yesterday the interlocutory decree of divorce previously granted Mrs. Ava Willing Astor from Colonel John Jacob Astor, Justice Isaac Mills, sitting at White Plains, wrote this afternoon: "The Clerk of Dutchess County is hereby ordered not to seal the above final judgment." The decree, however, as filed last night at Poughkeepsie, the county seat makes little known that had not been forejudged in popular estimate. There appears the bold statement that the marriage is dissolved by reason of the statutory offense on the part of the defendant, but no money settlement is mentioned, the name of the co-respondent is not given, and none of the testimony taken by the referee is available nothing but the decree itself. The plaintiff may remarry, but not the defendant. Custody of William Vincent Astor, the son. is given to the father, with the provision that the mother may see him when she wishes, and custody of the daughter. Ava Alice Muriel, is awarded the mother with provision that the father may see her at all "reasonable times." A Private Settlement. The understanding is that a settlement of all money matters was arrived at privately before the decree was signed, and it is probable that the exact amount allowed Mrs. Astor never will be known. It has not ben the policy of the Astor estate to allow money to go out of the family. Therefore it seems likely that no lump sum has been settled on her, but rather that she will enjoy a stipulated income during her lifetime, or so long as she remains single. Colonel Astor is one of the richest men in the United States. The Astor estate is one of the largest holders of real estate in the world. It has been reported on one hand that Mrs. Astor will receive $10,000,000 outright, and on the other that she will get the comparatively modest allowance of $50,000 a year. But no one with knowledge cf the facts is prepared to speak for quotation. The unusual interval between the granting of the interlocutory decree and the filing today of application for : a final judgment led to the report that there vva3 haggling over the exact sum to be awarded, and there is ground for belief that the $50,000 is nearer the truth than $10,000,000. NEW PHONE DEVICE For the purpose of purchasing over $l."i.nio worth of new equipment for the Richmond Home Telephone company, William E. Bailey, manager of the company, went to Chicago this morning. By the proposed improvements to be made, the party lines in the country districts will be greatly benefited. At present when making a call over the telephone in the country each phone on the line rings, there being a special ring for eadi subscriber. When the new apparatus is installed, however, only the phone called will ring. There will be equipment for ; automatic switchboards and with the additional trunks which will be purchased, the local exchange will be greatly improved and matters will be facilitated to such an extent that i much better service is practically as sured. TALK OF M'CARTHY John F. McCarthy, president of the Commercial club, who is serving his third term in that capacity. is frequently spoken of to succeed himself for another year. On Monday evening the newly elected board of directors will meet and elect officers, and it seems probable that Mr. McCarthy will be the choice for the board for president, although, personally, Mr. McCarthy would prefer that the honor be given to some other member. E. M. Haas, secretary, will probably fill that position until May 17. when he will become postmaster. His successor will not be selected until that time. G.M. RIESER DEAD George M. Rieser, aged 38 years, died yeserday af fvrnobn at his home, 818 North Twelfth street. Death was due to a cancer of the face, from which the deceased had suffered intense pain tor the past several months. The wife and four children survive. Mr. Rieser was a member of the Webb Lodge of Masons and KinSolomon's chapter. He was also a member of the Coeur de Lion lodge. Knights of Pythias. The- funeral will take place Monday afternoon at 1 -JSO o'clock from the home and will probably he in charge of the Masons. The burial will be in Earl ham cemetery. Friends max call anytime Sunday.

Henry D. Williams Will Be Rep resented by Pauper Attorney Reller. ENTERS NOT GUILTY PLEA Henry D. Williams, alias Williamson, the special constable of Squire Beyerle's court, and a collector, who is under arrest for alleged embezzlement, was arraigned in the criminal court this morning and plead not guilty. He asked Judge Fox to appoint an attorney to take charge of his case, as it is said that he could employ no local attorney. Patyer Attorney Will Reller has been assigned to the case by the court. Williams was taken back to the jail. having failed to raise the requisite! bond. It is probable that his case will iome up in the criminal court next week. GOODWIN CAN HOT ACT AS SECRETARY And the Chautauqua Managers Must Look for Some Other Person. PREVENTED BY Y. M. C. A. OFFICIALS OF THAT ORGANIZATION SAID THAT GOODWIN COULD NOT PROPERLY PER FORM BOTH DUTIES. Believing that the duties of association secretary were such that George Li. Goodwin, the secretary, could not also be the secretary of the eighth an nual assembly of the Richmond Chau tauqua, to be held next summer, with out neglecting his duties at the Y. M C. A., the board of directors of the latter organization, at its meeting. last evening, notified Mr. Goodwin that he could not serve the Chautau qua as secretary, to which position he was recently selected by the directors of that organization. Mr. Goodwin is chairman of the program committee and although the Y. M. C. A. directors were willing that he continue to serve as such. Mr. Goodwin is not certain that he will. In case he decides not to be affiliated with the Chautauqua any longer, be stated today, he would band in his resignation soon. Hurt New Secretary. The cuestion of a secretary for the Chautauqua will be settled by the chautauqua board immediately. It is not known who the board has in mind for this important position. Mr. Goodwin served last year in that capacity and the chautauqua officials seemed more than willing for him to serve again. Inasmuch as the Y. M. C. A., receives half of the net receipts, it is probable a man affiliated with the association will be selected for secretary. The installation of the new laundry equipment for the association was commenced today. Frank Osborn will have charge. While the initial expense is high, the board feels that a great saving will be effected in the laundry bills. AGED WORKER DIES (Palladium PperiaD New Paris. O.j March .".

THREATEN CARUSO; MEN ARE ARRESTED

Following This Action Great Tenor Today Hides in Apartments. GOT A BLACKHAND LETTER SINGER WAS TOLD TO PLACE $15,000 IN A PACKAGE FOR CONSPIRATORS OR HE WOULD BE MURDERED. (American Xew SrvUe New York. March 5. Following the arrest of two men in connection ith the threats to kill him unless he gave up $ 15.000. Knrico Caruso, the tenor singer, barricaded himself in his apart ments at the Hotel Knickerbocker to day and denied himself to all callers except iersonal friends. The iolice believe that a band of desperate blackmailers is on the trail of Caruso. After he had ignored a threatening letter received Wednes day, another one came on the following day. stating that he would surely be killed unless he placed $15,000 in a package and left it under a stoop at Van Brunt and Sackett streets, Brooklyn. Caruso's conviction is firm that be is marked for death by a blackhand order. Comply With Order. In apparent compliance with the letters of the blackmailers a package made up of $2 bills and strips of paper was placed under the stoop of a house at Van Brunt and Sackett street. Brooklyn. The men captured in the vicinity' by waiting detectives today declared their innocence, but the singer remained hidden in his apartments, fearing an attack. The prisoners are Antonio Cincottl and Antonio Misiano. Armand LeComte, also a singer. ' and Caruso's closest friend, today stood guard at his door. Caruso received two letters in two , days. The first he Ignored. The second took him to the police, who, after an examination of the letters, declared them typical black hand demands and asserted their belief that Caruso was the victim of an organized gang. Then came the planning for the decoy package and the arrests. LOCAL CONTRACTORS Officials of the American Seeding Machine company, are anxious to have local contractors bid on the improvements to be made by the local branch this year, which include an addition to the moulding department, which will increase this force loO; and large warehouses on the northwest corner of Thirteenth and North E streets, which will extend to the railroad.

John Fitzgibbone and James Houts. Many friends of tbe deceased called at the chapel of Wilson. Pohlmeyer and Downing last evening to view the remains. The burial was in St. Mary's cemetery.
