LONGWORTH SAYS SO IN HOUSE Debate on Consular BUI Brings Oat More Complete Details of tha Famous Diplomat! In eldest. WASHINGTON, April M. "The objection to Dr. Hill as ambassador to Berlin was Imply and solely that his private fortune would not enable him to represent properly the dignity of the American nation." This statement was made today' in the house. by Mr. Longworth of Ohio, son-in- law of President Roosevelt, during the con sideration of the diplomatic appropriation bill. Mr. Long worth was' making a plea for the maintenance by the government of suitable legation buildings at the various foreign capitals. He referred to the press dispatches stated that the - German .em peror had refused to accept Dr. Hill and to the oftk'lal denial, given to the pub lished stories. "Nevertheless." said Mr. Longworth, "there Is no doubt that there was a foundation for these stories beyond mere rumor, and It is undoubtedly true that persons high in authority In Germany for some time have been saying that Dr. Hill was not persona grata to the emperor." These objection, however, he declared, cpuld not he because Dr. Htllwas not ex perienced in diplomacy, nor sufficiently learned In international law nor that he was not sufficiently able and representa tive. Thoy were, he asserted, due to the fact that "because he was not sufficiently well off to pay the difference between the amount paid him . as salary and the amount necessary to maintain his position as ambassador, he would not be able to keep up such an establishment as that of tha present ambassador, but would not be able to keep up any establishment at u? ... Mr. Longworth said without going into the question as to whether Mr. Tower had maintained too luxurious an establish ment that 'everybody would concede that tha American ambassador to Germany should at least have a house to live in and not be compelled to live in a hotel or a flat- "I- l no excuse," he said, "that we do not act because financial conditions do not warrant the exjwrae.

While the plan of William Willett for lengthening our days in summer has ad vanced in England to the point of the introduction of a bill. It Is hardly likely to receive the sanction of Parliament. It is one of those things which are so simple and sensible that they are not likely to be adopted' for - a century at least.- The essential point of Mr. Wlllott's proposal, It may be recalled, is to move the- hands of the. clock ahead twenty minutes .every Sunday in April and to draw them back, twenty minutes -every Bunday in Septem ber. Such a gradual and regular adjust ment would disturb no one and the re sult would be that in the long summer days noon would come at 10:40., banks would close . at 1:40 instead of 8, by the sun, and people, who work till would be released at 4:40, with time for a good out ing' before dark.. Work would begin! at the same time, relatively to the sun, as in winter, and the leisure hours of daylight would be put together In a 'solid, service able lump at. the end ot the day. If there are any objections to this plan except its novelty, they have not yet .been adduced, and the advantages seem abvlous enough. In England, too, a new. scheme for the reformation of the calendar has been brought forward by Alexander Philip, which has several attractive features. Ilia purpose has been to solve the old problem of making each day of th month fall always on the same day of week, and to that end he has ' cut out New Tear's day and Leap day, making each a holiday not counted in the calendar. This leaves fru days divided into four quarters of ninety-one days each, and, shortening some months and lengthening ethers, he arrives at this symmetrical scheme: - JO, 80, 81; so, SO, 81; 80, 80, 31; 30, SO, 81. Thus there would be a perpetual calendar, the week and the month always agreeing, and the convenience of the reform, to the business world is obvious. Springfield Re publican.

RUSSIA COMPELLED TO FIGHT Line of Battle Ksteada Across Fros - tier ot Necessity Troabla Ahead of Army of Pacllcatlon. ST. PKTERSBURO. Apr; :S. The foreign office is keenly Interested in Russia's little frontier war in Persia. It Is the first oc casion to arise for 'the active application of Russia's rights, under the Anglo-Russian agreement, to interfere to preserve order in northern Persia. The operations them selves are considered of mlnorf importance and they will quickly come to an end soon as the subsidence of the floods permits tha movoment of the Russian detachments. Russia counts upon the hearty support ot Great Britain and no Interference on the part of any other power. . The foreign office -has no further news of fighting. Tho Russian commander tele graphs that the Persian Inhabitants along the frontier have abandoned their villages and fled to the mountains. The Russian detachment Is still in Persian territory. TIFLIS, April 18. The situation on the Persian frontier arising from the activity of bands of marauding Kurds has not ma terlally Improved. The Persian bandits. who retired into their mountain fastnesses after their first successes against the Rus slans, again concentrated in force yester day and renewed their attack, against Beleusvar. The Russians countered with energy and their artillery bombarded aev eral villages in which the brigands had taken shelter. The Russian commander has received orders to disperse and entirely wipe out the brigand bands. Reinforce ments are being sent Into blm ,from Baku and Lenkoran. The expedition that went In from Baku found its flanks to be me naced by the brigands; It therefore occu pied points in Persian territory In order adequately to protect the line of commu nication. In addition to the losses previ ously reported the Russians hsve had seven soldiers killed. The Russian commander says in a report that the Persian authorities have lost their heads entirely and that anarchy reigns in the district. Advices received from Tabria are that the governor of that city has received Im perative orders from Teheran to hasten the dispatch of a Persian force Into the disturbed territory, sending all the regular troops available. Lieutenant General Mistchenko, governor general of Tlflls, has left here for the Kars district to supervise the precaution ary measures Russia la taking along tha Turkish frontier in view of the mobilisa tion of Turkish troops on the other side of the line. The people of Tlflls are con siderably concerned over tms situation, but higher military officials now profess confidence that the Turkish measures are not directed against Russia. LABORER KILLED BY ENGINE Steps os Track Jast la Front and Blips t Oder the Wheels. Conrad Kahler, a laboring man employed as caretaker for a number ot cattle feeding ai ine wuiow springs distillery, was knocked down and had both legs cut off below the knee by a Burlington switch engine Friday evening about 1:, a short distance north of the Union Pacific railroad bridge along the river front. He was hurried to the Omaha General hospital, but died as he was being placed on the operating lame. The switch engine, which was coupled head-on to a number of freight cars, was backing north at a slow rate of speed, when Kahler was seen to step onto the track In the path of the engine, presumably to climb onto the footboard and ride. It Is supposed that he slipped and fell. The man told M. H. Houk. in charge of tha swltchir-c crew, that his nam was Conrad Kahler and that he lived at Tenth and Paul streets. The only effects found in his clothes was a silver cased watch of Waltham movement, a package ot tobacco and a briar pips. It Is thought that he has a daughter living In the city. Coroner Davis took charge of the body, but uo to a late hour no identlfea tion had been made of the body. The coroner will hold an Inquest. Crooas Neeeosltv. ORANGE. K. J.. April IS.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-(Speclal Tele gram.) In all probability the omnibus, public building Mil will be reported next week, the committee on public buildings and grounds of the house having agreed upon the general provisions of the measure, fsg ends ot the bill being the only thing left for them to consider. In the considera tion of the bill by the subcommittee, of which Judge Norrls of Nebraska is chair man, he has been constantly met with the demand on the part of the Nebraska mem bore td override the rule laid down by the subcommittee that in no case should a member receive more than an appropria tion for a site and building, for the erection of a building where a site has been pur chased or for the purchase of a site. A number of the Nebraska member, have Introduced bills providing for the purchase of a site and the erection of public build ings at two or more places in their dis tricts and in consequence of the demands of l.!s colleagues 2ip Morris Is well nigh tuckered out resisting trie efforts of his friends on the Nebraska delegation to make exceptions In their favor. Congressman Hlnshaw has been espe cially persistent In his efforts not only be fore the subcommittee, but before the full committee, to secure an appropriation for the purchase of additional ground upon wl ich to erect an extension of the Beatrice postofflce, and he emphatically wants ' a site snd public building st Palrbury. Ac cording to the rule of the committee, Mr. Hinshaw cannot get both propositions, and in consequence he is pretty warm. It prob ably will be put up to the congressman to make his selection ss to which city he wants to go Into the bill, which will keep the congressman thinking for a time at least. What Nebraska. Gets. The bill will carry an appropriation of probably $60,000 for the erection of a public building at Plattsmoulh, the site having already been purctased. The reports, how. ever, from Plattsmoulh are not reassuring, the record showing that there has been considerable falling oft in postal receipts at that place and it is doubtful if PUlts mouth would have been considered by the committee had not the government already purchased a site there. Judge Boyd will be given an appropriation for a site at Columbus. This, it is under stood, is all that the representative of the Third district has asked for, although he Introduced a. bill for Fremont. Boyd be lieves la going slowly as to public buildings, appreciating that concentrated effort for a single city is more likely to bring results than the scattering of effort. He says that he will take care of Fremont the next time. In view of the fact that a term of federal court is held at North Platte, Judge Kinkald probably will be given an appropriation ot $100,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection thereon of a postofflce and court house in North Platte. Judge Norrls, member ot the committee, will be content with an appropriation for the purchase of a site at McCook. This, he has told the people, is all they could reas onably expect at this session. Isrvey of Logan Creek. C. G. Elliott of the engineer corps of the Department of Agriculture, in an interview had with Judge Boyd today, stated that there would be quite a party of engineers leave shortly for Nebraska to begin on May 1 ihaklng surveys looking to the straightening of Logan creek, which runs through the counties of Cedar, Dixon, Thurston, Cuming, Burt and Dodge. The work wlli be begun at the source of Logan creek, near Coleridge, Neb., and will cover the entire course of the stream to Its mouth near Hooper, where it empties into the Elkhorn. This Is a preliminary step to the reclamation ot lands in tha Logan valley. The object is to shut out the old channel of the stream and have It run in a compara tively straight Una from Coleridge to Hooper, a distance of about 100 miles. As the stream now meanders through tortuous channels, it travels a distance of 100 miles. It is planned to build levees along the banks so as to hold the stream within Its channel, making 1,000,000 acres of the flneat farming land In all Nebraska out of present pastures and hay land. Hallowcll Case Cemlag Vp Again. The case of Hallowell against the United States, growing out of the introduction of liquor on an Indian allotment, which was argued in the supreme court March 16, by Thomas U. Sloan for the plaintiff in error, and Solicitor General Hoyt for the United Statea and in which the supreme court later dismissed tha questions certified to the court for consideration and determina tion as the law points, now goes back to the circuit court ot appeals for rectification. It appears that the aupreme court held that the questions certified to the supreme court by the circuit court of appeals was not In legal form and this dismissal does not in any wis affect the points raised by Hallowell, who was convicted of bringing liquor Into the Omaha reservation. Hallowell was sentenced to a term in jail, but la out on ball. Solicitor Hoyt informed Mr. Sloan today that the question would be certified In proper form at the May term of the clroult oourt of appeals, which will sit In St. Paul next month. - Bill lo Aid Fralt Jobbere.

Gamble Bill Reported. The Gamble bill, creating a new land dis trict In South Dakota, was todsy favorably reported by the committee on public lands of the house. This measure, generally known as the Lemon land district bill, Senator Gamble put through the senate a week ago, and now with a favorable report from the house committee on public lands will go through the house and thenca to the president at an early date. Oscar B. Barnes of Mitchell, Neb., has been appointed clerk In the reclamation service located in Nebraska. I MORE PAY FOR THE ARMY Conference Committee Agrees on This Section of Approprlatloa BUI. WASHINGTON, April 17.-The army Is practically assured ot an Increase in pay. The conference of the senate and house have reached an agreement on this Item of the srmy appropriation 1U substantially along the lines of the senate amendment which graded the authorized Increases ac cording to the various branches of the service. No agreement has been arrived st on the appropriations for barracks and quarters which was increased 11,472.590 by the senate, making the total $4,500,000. The senate struck out also a provision that not more than 11,000,000 should be used for new construction and not more than $100,000 at any one post. The house conferees take the position that In the form In which this appropriation has been l-ft by the senate It would be possible to dlvert prac tically the entire amount to one section of the country and build up a great mili tary post such as has not been the purpose of congress. So dissatisfied did the house conferees become at the last session that they volod to postpone consideration of the bill for a time. Representative Hull, chair man of the house cpnferees. has gone to Iowa, and there will be no further consider ation of the measure until his return. PROCEEDINGS OK THE HOUSE Debate on Diplomatic and Consular BIU Takes Wide Rsste. WASHINGTON, April 17,-Tha attitude of Emperor William and the Berlin court toward David Jayne Hill, named by tlie president to bs mbasmdor at that capital, was subject of con merit in the house of representatives today during the considera tion of the diplomatic and consular bill. Mr. Perkins of New York and Mr. Blayden ot Texas expressed the opinion that the objections to Mr, Hill were due to no other csuse than that Mr. Hill wis financially ut.able to maintain a certain standard of social representation. Each of them con demned the practice which they said riad grown up of selecting men of great wealth to be the nation's dlplomatio representa tives sbroad snd urged as s means of counteracting the effect of such a policy the housing of our diplomats in buildings owned by the government and the allow ance to them ef salaries sufficient to enatla them to maintain the dignity of their high offices. I'nder license of general dehate Mr. Griggs of Georgia spoke in advocacy of the disfranchisement of the soufheqri negro. Mr. Burton of Ohio discussed the cause of the rcctnt financial depression. Mr. Hill of Connecticut reiterated his views in fsvor of Ilia Fowler financial bill. Mr. Byrd of Mississippi attacked the prevailing tarllf pulley of tts republicans, air.

Mr. Cousins of Iowa, chairman of the committee, deferred until tomorrow the usual explanation of the diplomatic bill. With the diplomatic bill still under con sideration, the house at 5:43 p. m. recessed until 11:30 a. m. tomorrow. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE Bill to Limit Injunction Against Stata Laws Is Passed. WASHINGTON, April 17. Injunction against tha enforcement of state lawa can only be issued by a majority of three fed eral Judges, who are to pass them If a bill that passed the senate today becomes a law. The bill was drafted In the Judiciary committee from a number ot measures under consideration. It was reported bv Senator Overman and its provisions were explained by him to tl,e senate. A substi tute by Senator Burkett was disagreed to. The Overman bill wax onDosed bv Mr. Hay- burn on the ground trat the great distances letwee n the federal courts In the west would operate to delay the granting of necessary injunctions. Senator Knox favored the passage of the' bill and opposed Mr. Hey burn's srgument. The senate discussed at length the MU to appropriate the proceeds from ths sale ot certain public lands for the reclamation of swamp lands, but made little progress towards Its passage. For nearly two hours today the senate discussed the Flint bill, appropriating all moneys received from the sale of public lands In the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota. Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin to the drainage of swamp lands. Lead'r a fight on the section of the bill authorising the loaning ot this money to municipalities, corporations or Individuals as well as states for this purpose. Senator Baron (Ga.) was supported by Messrs. Hals snd' McCumber. Senator Clark criiicisea the bill, because It did not restrict the loan ing of the K,6U,000 received from the gale of such land In the past and all money from the same source In the future to the states enumerated ir. the bill.

N" York- 3 sBBaaVaawSnw' "WELCOME" SIGN MADE OF MEN I'alqae nnd Remarkable Demonstra tion of Friendliness by the Chileans. The battle fleet correspondent of the Chi cago Tribune, describing the trip near tha coast of Chile, says: Daybreak on tha morning of February 14 showed a lowering sky, Just before 9 o'clock the Chilean coast could be made out and then the fleet made one or two turns and twists apparently to kill d little time. Admiral Simpson took his place st the head of the column which had been formed and his three torpedo boata took up positions on our right flank, tha side nearest to the city In the harbor, so as to protect the line from sny Intrusion. Just before 1 o'clock we could make out tha people on the high- hills south Of Angeles Point, fittingly named, for a great ceme tery sloped up tha hillside. The place was black with spectators. Around ths point we . could see the puffs of a salute, given probably by one of tha forts cr ships to note ths arrival of Presi dent Montt. Then we came close to An geles Point. The beach waa thronged. There were tents where glmcracks were being sold and double-decker tram cars were loaded "to the limit. It seemed as If all Valparaiso had rome out to that place. The glasses were turned 'Upon Fort Val dlvla. Just beyond Point Angeles. It Is a nsysl station. Suddenly a midshipman discovered that there was a sign In English on one of Us terraces. It said: "Welcome! "That's mighty nice to whitewash a lot of stones In that wsy, Isn't it?" said ga officer on the bridge. Three minutes later s young officer sang out: A dosen glasses were focused on the sign at once. Sure enough, atretched upon ths terrace, there lay a human sign, made up of sailors or naval cadets In white. It .took three men's length to make the height of a single letter. 'Two men' were required for the top snd bottom of the letter O. One man was sufficient each fr tha curved upper and lower part of ths letter. These men must not have been entirely comfortable, for they lay there fully an hour, but the sign was ss Immobile as If It ware made of stone. That compliment touched the kindly feeling of everyone on the ships. It made a sensation. No one had ever seen anything like that. Thera was no wsy of answering it to kind, as you ean in saluting; you could only look at It In dumb amazement and feel grateful. and skill of her dentists 0 rWT - af X XV SI
