President Had a Busy Day In Pitts burg Addressed Students of State College For Women Saw the Pitts burg Pirates Beat His Brother's Team Delivered an Address at the Grant's Birthday Dinner of the Amerlcua Club. nttsburg, May 3. Anyone in this town who had an idea that Secretary ol State Philander Chase Knox was not in accord with the administration and would resign must ' have been surprised If he heard what President Taft had to say about that cabinet eflflcer and the department of state at the Grant's birthday dinner of the Amerlcua club. The president prais ed Mr. Knox without stint. The president also expressed tho hope that the negotiations which have been conducted under Mr. Knox and now In progress will Insure peace In the Orient, of which "we have not lost hope," and said: "Open door in China, too, Is the purpose and inten tion of this administration to conserve and maintain." Before he went to the banquet the president had a busy day. Among other things he addressed the stu dents at the Pennsylvania State Col lege for Women, and saw Hans Wag ner and nine others of the Pittsburg Pirates beat his brother C. P. Taft's Chicago Cubs 5 to 2. Mr. Taft sat in a flag draped hox on the second tier. Secretary Knox and several representatives of foreign countries at Washington were with him. Before the game Louis Mann, the actor, carried to Wagner and to Fred Clark baseballs with the president's autograph and bent wishes on them. The banquet was given in the Ho tel Schenley. Mr. Taft stld in part: "I am greatly indebted to the state of Pennsylvania, to tho city of Pittsburg and to the Amerlcus club for giving me that gentleman who sits at the head of my cabinet table. "As the head of the great state de partment having In Its charge our foreign relations. Mr. Knox has shown tho same capacity for guarding the Interests of his client, the United States, and her purpose in dealing with foreign nations as he did In pro tecting their rights against the unlaw ful encroachments of domestic com Mnatlons of capital." The president then went on to praise Secretary Knox's work in con nection with ascertaining under the tariff bill what foreign countries were discriminating against the trade of the United States In favor of the trade of some other nation and said: "Under present conditions there Is no undue discrimination against the trade of the United States by any country with which the United States has commercial relations. The Canadian settlement was accomplish ed by an exchange of notes Indicating willingness on the part of each gov ernment to enter Into future negotia tions looking to closer commercial relations between the United States and Canada." The president expressed the hopo that reciprocal arrangements between the two countries would ultimately be consummated. He praised Senator Itoot's administration when head of the state department and his cultl vi ting good relations with all the South American and Central Ameri can republics. This he Bald had been followed closely by Mr. Knox and the department tinder him and declar ed that never before In the history of the country have the relations of the United States with South Ameri can and Central American republics been more friendly than they are to day. settleIsowe $ 1,000,000 lg Government Can Collect Success In Reclamation Is Assured Washington, May 3. The acid test of the practicability of all the govern ment reclamation work Is at hand. On April 1 there was due and pay able Into the reclamation fund from the settlers on the various projects approximately $1,000,000 for water rights. If the farmers are able to meet their payments It evidences that the government is able to secure a re turn on its Investment. If the pay ments are not made the law Is a fall Nre In one of Its most Important pro visions, and the operations of tht reclamation service would qulckl he brought to an end. But a caref:il canvass of the pro jects on which water rights charges are due Indicates that the settlers aa a rule are able and willing to meet them. Count De Lesseps Injured.

PRAIS 0 HAVENS SWORN IN A Cordial Reception Accorded Him by the Democrats. James S. Havens of Rochester was sworn in as a member of the house of representatives, succeeding to the seat filled for so many years by the late James Breck Per kins.

Aldrldge tried In vain to reach. Representative Sulzer, the senior Democratic member from New York, did the honors for the recruit from Rochester. As soon as the perfunc tory business of the day had been transacted Mr. Sulzer arose In his place and announced that Representative-elect Havens was present and ready to take the oath of office. This brought forth applause from the Democrats. As Mr. Havens and Mr. Sulzer marched down the aisle to wards the bar of the house, where the mth was administered, the Demo crats again applauded and after Mr. Havens had subscribed to the oath there was more applause. Nearly every Democrat In the house shook the new member's hand at one time or another in the course of the day, and whenever Foss, the newly elected member from Massachusetts, and Havens appeared together the Democrats smiled and asked the Re publicans how they liked the two new Democratic members. The Republi cans, however, were keeping their mouths closed and pretended that they did not see the point of the Joke. GREAT AMERICAN SCULPTOR Death of John Quincy Adams Ward at His Home In New York. John Q. Ward, the sculptor, who had been ill since February last, died Sunday morning at his residence, 296 Manhattan avenue, New York. Just before his death Mr. Ward was at work on a seated statuette of August Belmont For a quarter of a century John Quincy Adams Ward, because of his age, reputation and the extent of his work, had been described as the dean of American sculptors. He was born at Urbana, O., In 1830. He never studied a day abroad. His first work of real note was the Indian Hunter, now In Central park. Among some of his other well-known works are "The Pilgrims," "Shakes peare" and the "Seventh Regiment Soldier," all in Central park, and the statue of Washington in front of the sub-treasury. One of Mr. Ward's last commissions was an equestrian Etatue of General Phil Sheridan, over which there arose a dispute. It was to be erected In Washington by the Army of the Cum berland but the society rejected the model. He brought suit against the society for $32,000, alleging breach of contract.

President Knabe and His Son Said to Have Used the Insurance Com pany For Their Personal Financial Ends It Appears That the Metro politan Trust Company Received 18 Per Cent For Discounting a Note For the Knabes Endorsed by the Company. The insurance department of New York state has forbidden the United business In the state, owing to an Impairment of the company's capital and to Irregularities In the conduct of Its business. The department finds that Ernest J. Knaho oT Balti more and William Knabe of this city, wno until recently controlled the com pany, used the company for their per sonal ends In financial operations, and the investigation which brought these to light also revealed such practices on the part of some financial Institu tions that the Insurance department has brought them to the attention of the banking department. In the one specific case affecting a banking institution made public in the Insurance department's formal statement, It Is set forth that the Metropolltal Trust company got U per cent for discounting a note of the Knabes, secured by an Indemnity bond given by the Surety company. The Knabes seem to have been good payers of these bonuses, for their tes timony shows that in something over a year they paid between $40,000 and $50,000 to brokers representing them In such transactions, the greater part of the money being turned over to the financial Institutions. While Investigating the People's Mutual Life Insurance association and league, the insurance department found that the Knabes had some con nection with the Louisville promotor, John Tevls, who tried to get control of that concern to reinsure Its busi ness In the Federal Life Insurance company of Canada, and that through Tevis the Knabes had become Inter ested In that Canada company. What the department there learned suggested an Investigation of the United Surety company's affairs and this was undertaken in connection with the Maryland department. Be sides the revelations already noted, this examination revealed consider able loans to personal friends ot the Knabes on doubtful collateral. JEFFRIES BREAKING DOWN? Rumors Reach New York That He Is In Poor Condition. Is James Jeffries 111 and is thero an attempt to conceal the fact from tho public? Rumors have reached Broadway all the way from California that Jeffries is In poor physical condition; that he finds It impossible to do strenuous work and that he Is actually In need of medical attention. Letters have been received here from sporting men on the coast to the effect that Jeffries is worrying a4ot as to his ability to get Into proper trim for the fight with Johnson and is somewhat discouraged because he still finds his wind deficient. One of these letter writers in a screed to the Sun man says: "Do not. be surprised If there is an explosion at .Teflries' camp He is ailing with various troubles and Is In no condition to train hard. Berger and Choynskl both want to keep the truth secret because the truth may hurt the fight, but nevertheless it Is a fact that Jeffries Is ill and may call the fight off at any moment "Jeffries Is peevish and ill-tempered nearly all the time. He looks heavy and flabby and he has nothing of the old speed. If the fight took place within a week Johnson would cut Jim to ribbons first and then knock him out There Is a conflict of authority at Jeffries' quarters and the big fel low seems visibly annoyed by It. He looks disgusted and as If he Is sorry he ever decided to return to the ring. If he does not call the fight off It will be for two reasons either he will think he can get back his old strength, or unwillingness to lose tho $10,000 forfeit." This kind of Information will be re ceived by many persons with know ing winks, for they are the ones who have Insisted from the start that there'd never be a fight; also that neither Jeffries nor Johnson ever In tended to fight and made the match solely for the purpose of squeezing a flood of money out of the easy going public. $100,000 FOR BARLOW HEIRS Government Soon to Pay For French Seizure of Frigate Betsey.

After a day of almost fruitless delving Into the op erations of the Heinze family and as sociates in United Copper In 1907, the governmeut at the trial of F. Augus tus Heinze succeeded In bringing out some evidence by which it Is hoped to connect tbe defendant with the al leged pool In that stock which culmin ated in October of that year with failure of the firm of Otto Heinze ft Co. and the panic. Although Otto Heinze, the defend ant's brother, Insisted that F. A. Heinze had no connection with any pool or with the operations that were undertaktn to protect it In the mark et, the government attorneys got Max Shnltz, his partner, to Identify an agreement given by F. A. Heinze to the firm of J. F. Bache & Co. in which F. A. Heinze undertook to guarantee any accounts the firm then had or might have in the future with A. Schnltze or Arthur P. Heinze, his brother. This agreement was dated Jan. 10, !90fi, and the defence got Mr. Schultze to say that it had no reference to United Copper or any transactions In 1917, but Judge Hough admitted It In evidence, declaring that on Its face It was a continuing agreement. Jj F. Bache & Co. was one of the broker age housps to whom the checks of the .firm of Otto Heinze & Co. were made out which Helne Is alleged to have overcertlfled. These checks were to pay for United Copper stock which was sent in response to the call sent oiit on Oct. 14 by the firm when It looked to them as If the shorts had been cornered.

Alec Anderson is said to have partaken In the Fecond transaction.
