housing, we find the prices going up
on the same supply. So we get it go?

Dr. Copeland argued that renting
has become a public utility, clothed
; with the same public interest as any
other, and therefore subject to regu

"Is there anything more necessary

matter of puhlie interest. than houses?"

U. S. Asks Chile
Act in Peruvian
Bolivian Crisis
Request Is Conveycd to
Ambassador at Confer?
ence With Mr. Polk at
the State Department
No Intervention Planned
Bolivian Government Ex
presses Regrets for Attack
on Legation at La Paz
WASHINGTON, March 18. ? The
American government to-day asked
Chile, as one of the great and powerful
nations of South America, to use its
strong influence to prevent serious dif
ficulties between Bolivia and Peru. The
request was conveycd by Under Secre?
tary Polk to Beltran Mathieu, Chiloan
Ambassador, at a conference at the
State Department.
The Peruvian Ambassador and the
Bolivian Minister had separate con
ferences yesterday with Mr. Polk, and
each was requested to urge upon his
government the seriousness of the
situation and to express the grave coh
cem of the United States.
While no reply to tho urgent repre
sentations made direct to Bolivia by
j the State Department has yet been re
j ceived, latest advices from Bolivia in
; dicate that the tension resulting from
i the attack on the Peruvian Legation at
jLa Paz has cascd and that immediate
| danger of serious trouble apparently
was past.
U. S. Intervention Not Indicated
Intervention by the United States be
? tween Peru and Bolivia would create
"a very painful impression in Chile,"
, Senor Mathieu declared, commenting on
! reports that Peru had sought such in
i terventi>|i. At tne Bolivian Legation,
i however, it was explained tfoat tse State
Department's represcntations to Bo?
livia did not. indicate American inter
; vention in the dispute.
Ambassador Mathieu denied flatly
Peruvian charges that Chile had been
implicated in stirring up trouble in
, Bolivia against Peru or had furnizhed
. arms and ammunition to the demon
. strators in La Paz.
"Such reports are absolutely with
: out foundation," he said, "and those
Peruvians who were guilty of making
them were misinformed."
The Chiloan Ambassador said he had
cablod a eummary of the charges to
his government, and he deprecated re
sentment which he said the accusations
were certain to arouso throughout
Chile against Peru.
Bolivia Expresses Regret*
LIMA, Peru, March 18.?The aide-de
camp of President Guerra of Bolivia
, called at the Peruvian legation at La
i az yesterday and expressed the Bo?
livian govcrnment's regrets for thc at

uccording to official advices redtsivcd
here to-day. Following the recoipt of
this information, Foreign Minister
Porras forwarded a note to La Paz
asking for material reparation for the
loss incurred and the arrest of offi
I cials involved in the demonstration.

Anti-Saloon Inquiry and
"Wet" Measures Is Laid
to FeaiLj?f Anderson
"Dry" Leader Assailed
?Gillett Aroused by Denial
of an Early Hearing
on His 3.50 Legislation
???
From a fltaff Correspondent
ALBANY, March 18.?Fear of Will?
iam H. Anderson, superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League, is believed
here to be responsible *for the tactics
j being resorted to by Speaker Sweet to
' kill off the investigation of tbe Anti
Saloon League and all legislation
which construes the Eighteenth
Amendment as the liberals in the Leg?
islature see it. Speaker Sweet has just
issued a fiat that Colonel Gillett'..
iight wine and beer bill and the
Walker-Gillett 3.50 beer bill, which
was issued in the Assembly to-day, bo
allowed to die in committee.
Colonel Ransom H. Gillett, after in
troducing the Walker bill in the, As?
sembly to-day, again asked Assembly?
man Bert Gage, chairman of the Excise
Committee and one of Sweet's support
ers, for a hearing on the -3.50 beer bill.
^ "But Mr. Gage,'* said Colonel Gillett,
says he can't promise a meeting o?
that committee to consider my bill un
till the week after next. That would
bring u to April 1, possiblv even later.
It would then be too late in the so3.sion
to grive this mattei the careful consid?
eration it ought to have."
Colonel Gillett has canvassed the
Assembly and found that more than
eighty members are solidly for the 3.5C
per cent beer bill. But, with the fear
H" their own local legislation being
killed if they run contrary to Sweet's
wishes, it is doubtful if the average
Assemblyman will dare to support Gil?
lett.
If the Assemblymen are left to them?
selves, according to the backers of the
Walker-Gillett bill, they will pass the
measure in the lower house, as the
.Senate, according to majority aru:
minprity leadero, will pass it "ir, the
upper body.
When Speaker Sweet nnd his czarism
were denounced on the floor of the Sen?
ate by minority leader Walker to-day
no one i"ose to the defense of Sweet.
Senator Walker first introduced the
old Gillett light wine and beer bill amj
then rose to c'plain why he did it.
He said that he thought it a better
.bill than' his 3.50 beer bill. but was
doubtful if it could pass the Assembly,
while the 3.50 beer bill, If not killed by
Sweet, would be certain of passage in
both houses. He charged that William
H. Anderson was again running the
Assembly.
"The Gillett bill has not had a fair
deal in the Assembly,n said Senator
Walker. "If it is true that he (An?
derson) has given orders that the
Slacer enforcement bill is to have a
hearing and the Gillett bill shall not
bo accorded the slightest hearing it
is the most unfair thing I ever heard
of. It borders closely on disgrace. This
is denying a right to which all free
men are entitled.
"If Anderson can come here and say
what bill shall have a hearing and
what bill shall not have a hearing, and
that can be proyed to me. as much as
I love the work in this body and its as
flocintions. my resignation will go in
to-morrow. Ilo is so moral and clean
of heart in his own estimation, and in
my opinion so domineering, bigoted,
prejudiccd and harmful to the best in?
terests of the state, that T do not want
to be part of the government which is
susceptible to his control."
Senator Walker said that another
reason why he introduced the Gillett
light wine and beer bill was to see if
the "doors of aecency" were closed on
the Senate side of the capitol as they
were on the Assembly side.
"If there are twenty-six or more men
on this side of the House for this bill
and seventy-s.ix or more members of
the Assembly for it, let us find it out.
and if there are not, let us forget it,"
.said Senator Walker. "But I want to
Warn you fhat the same spirit which
sent Colonel Gillett to France, and the
same spirit with which he came back.
never will ixrn^t a Russian situation
or czardom to ootain in this state very
long."
Since the Walker-Gillett beer bill
puts an end to the saloon, in that it
I forbids the drinking oi* the beverage
lon the premises where sold. excepting
'? I in bona fide hotels and restaurants,
| the saloonkeepers are almost solidly
! opposed to it.
They have already sent their repre
' ; sentatives here to do what they can to
