GOULD .Newspapers Poke Any Asa-ant of Faa at Her aad at Prlare Helle. PARIS,' April 2, Although Mm. Gould, before her departure from Paris for th t'oHed States, repeatedly denied to intimate friend that; she had any thought of marry ing Prince Helle De Bagan, the prince waa a welcome guest at her city and country residence for months,' and they often dined and went to the theater together. Mme. Gould has alwaya been regarded aa head strong by her friends, and consequently tlicy would not be astonished If she per sisted in marrying the. prince despite the disastrous results of her marriage to Count Bonl De Costellane, and the present opposition of her family. Count Bonl, who Is a cousin of the prince, is represented as being furious at the con firmation of his suspicions and the Paris newspapers naturally are having consider able fun over the idea of Mme. Gould's re entry into the French aristocracy aa th Princess De Sagan "with a reduced fortune of only StlO.OOO a year." The Gil Bias is especially hilarious over the prince's allegod reply to an Insinuation that he was a fortune hunter. In which he said: "At my age a man only marries for love."

None of the cur rency legislation before congress, with the exception of the Loverlng bill, which pro vides for the appointment of a commis sion to Investigate the currency and bank ing systems of the United States, will have the approval of the New Tork Cham ber of Commerce. Formal decision to this effect waa made today when the chamber adopted the report of Its special commit tee appointed at the, March meeting of the body to investigate and report upon the pending legislation. It la the belief of the committee, as expressed In Its report, that there la little chanc of any currency legislation being enacted at the present session of the congress. After describing the Aldrlch bill as a measure which would "provide a highly taxed emergency cur rency," and tho Fowler bill as one which would "operate to bring about Immediate Instead of gradual substitution of credit notes," the committee saya they are no antagonist la to each other that compre hensive currency legislation at an earlier date does not seem probable. "These cir cumstance point unmistakably to the Im perative need of further deliberation." saya the report,' "to the discussion of principles and methods by mean of which such principles may be applied to meet the country' needa." The committee report,1 which was adopted by the Chamber of Conimerce. recommends the enactment' of a law providing for the appointment of a commission to Investigate the currency and banking systems of the United Statea and of kther leading com mercial nations and to report such meas ures "aa may be found necessary to place our currency and banking system on a aound basis, which la absolutely essential for the permanent welfare and progress of the country." During the discussion which preceded the adoption of the currency committee's report, A. B. Hepburn, president of the Chase National bank, and chairman of the executive committee of the chamber, made a spirited attack on the Aldrlch bill. "It looks aa If th president and the senate were going to force It through If they can," he declared. "If they do pasa It as a political measure It may prove a boomerang. Somo of Its provisions are socialistic and communistic, and altogether no worse preparation haa ever been moved in congress."

Tho fight between the South Dakota factions will in no way Jeopardies the in terests of Secretary Taft so far as South Dakota la concerned, for the reason that both factions are committed to him, and no matter which faction controla the atate convention, the delegates to th national convention will be Instructed to support his candidacy for nomination to th office of president of th United Slates. The only possibility of serious trouble in the state convention between the Insur gents and stalwarts la In connection with any attempt that might be made by the atalwarts to contest enough delegations from Insurgent counties to give the stal warts control of the temporary organiza tion. For some time rumors of contests have been In the air, but thus far little credence has been placed In the reports.

(From Btaff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. April J.-(Speflal Tele gramsRepresentative Pellard during the closing hours of the debate on the agricul tural bill spoke against the use of money by the bureau of good roads for the con struction of macadam roads In the agri cultural sections of tho country. The prop osition of the committee Is to enable the farmers of the country to get some benefit from the bureau of good roads. Mr. Pollard, attacking an amendment of fered to the bill, said: "The purchase and use of machinery In the construction of country roads has been used wholly for the construction of mac adem roads. I want to' say that I repre sent one of the richest agricultural districts in the United States, and I think I know whereof I speak. 1 do not believe there Is a single farming community in any district In the United States that can afford to build macadam roads. It costs all the way from S3.O0O to $7,000 a mile to build these macadam roads. The committee on agri culture desire to prevent the use of money in the construction of these macadam roads, so that the bureau of good roads can exert Its energies to enable the farmers of the country to take advantage of other Infor mation they are disseminating for the con struction of roads that are within the reach of every farming community, no matter whether It In the richest or poorest agri cultural district. Only those communities that are contiguous to a city can afford macadam roads, when they cost such a great amount of money. "The department has discovered that asnd clay roads or burnt clay roads can be constructed and that they are applicable to all great agricultural regions and only cost from 31 00 to $500 a mile, which is easily within the reach of every community. Now what the committee on agriculture want is thatt his money shall be Introduce road construction that Is within the reach of farmers and not permit the bureau to ex pend money in building macadam roads for the benefit of cities and towns." Representative Pollard's paragraph re lating to the construction of roads of clay or burnt clay In rural communities pre vailed and Is In the agricultural bill as passed today. Representative Pollard leaves tomorrow night for home upon private business. GARFIELD DENIES CHARGE Flatly Contradicts Statement of Helen Pierce Gray at Indian inquiry. WASHINGTON.
