The last thing on the program was a re caption at the San Francisco Press Club, of which he was made a life member. But the crowning gory of bis Visit the thing that brought him nearest the hearts of Californiana Was bis address at the Fairmont Ho tel baaquet when he declared flatly and forcibly for a ship subsidy to en courage an American marine to live again upon the seven seas. , He said that subsidy must first meet the difference in conditions -of cost and employment that our laws force upon our ship-owners when meeting the competition of the own ers of foreign shippers. Then that subsidy must equal the subsidies given by other nations in the encour agement. of their merchant ships. ' After speaking of the auxiliary coast artillery and declaring nothing could be done that would aid the govt eminent more than the preparation of such a. force, he touched on condi tions 1n the Philippines and Alaska. Speaking of Alaska, he said: . 'It is easy to catch the applause of the crowd by saying 'We are bound to. self-government and self-govern ment Is the best government possible'. Well It is under conditions favorable to It. lBut there are tfmes and condi tions of a temporary character when It ! not the best. Arid we ought to say so.-. Tben we are building the Panama Canal.

Rumor That He Is To Be Dis- ciplined By Secretary Knox HAS MADE- BLUNDER Continued Ileticence is Shown at the State Department Concerning the . Actual Keason For the Recall to Washington of Minister Crane- Made a Particularly Undiplomatic Seech in New York In September and This is Believed by . Some to Have r Been Responsible For His Being Summoned Back to Wash in; ton Knox Will Lecture. (By Leased Wire to TheTimes) Washington, Oct. 6 Continued re ticence is shown at the department of state concerning the actual reason for the recall of Minister to China Crane on the eve of his departure from San Francisco for his post. Assistant Secretary of State Adee this morning declared that there is nothing whatever in the rumor that Mr. Crane has been called to Wash ington to be "disciplined" by Secre tary Knox because of indiscreet and undiplomatic remarks made in a pub lic speech at a banquet given in New York by the American Asiatic Asso ciation, asserting, that the speech in question was delivered before Mr. Crane was appointed minister, 'The records prove Mr. Adee to to be In error, for Minister Crane's polntment was announced by. the de partment of state July 83t ..whereas bin Speech' before "the" association was delivered September 20, just before he left New York for Seattle, whence he was to set sail for the Orient, The speech in question is regarded in diplomatic circles here to have been of a particularly undiplomatic nature. In fact it is looked upon as a serious indiscretion. Among other things Minister Crane spoke of "The new form of hold-up whicn our state department has recently been so sue. cesaruny engaged in or forcing money on China", while further on, after saying a word in praise of former President Cleveland, a democrat, and avowing himself a democrat, he added, -"I felt that possibly the government- might be safe in the hands of one republican". Further on he spoke of the "dismemberment of China", and about the empire having been given a "moral shock" through the Russian-Japanese war. There Is little doubt that the government at Pekin has been informed of these re marks. Diplomats here, both American and foreign, feel that such expressions are not those of a diplomat, especially of one who is entrusted with such an important mission as that of minister to China. They are asking them selves, "If Minister Crane shows so little discretion within a few weeks after his appointment and before he has even started for his post, what more serious 'breaks' may he make after his arrival at Pekin?" It is thought that while the rea son for his recall from San Francisco may be chiefly for the purpose of ad vising him about important develop ments that have taken place quite recently regarding the Japanese atti tude toward Manchuria, yet at the same time Mr. Crane will doubtless receive one of Secretary Knox's cele brated lectures on the advisability, not to 8a y necessity of either keeping his mouth shut while act'ng as a dip lomatic officer of the United States or els resigning his post and returning to his private business in Chicago, where he will be privileged to make as many undiplomatic public speeches about China as may suit him.
