FIRST MESSAGE IN
WILSON WASTES FEW WORDS IN
TELLING CONGRESS WHAT IT
SHOULD DO.
TARIFF REVISION HIS TOPIC
President Says the Schedules Must Bs
Radically Changed to 8qure With
Prssent Conditions, but Work Re
quires Careful Consideration,
Washington, April 8. President
Wilson's first message to the Sixty
third congress, assembled in extraor
dinary session, was read In the senate
and house today. It was surprising
ly short, being in full as follows:
To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives: I have called the congress together
In extraordinary session because a
duty was laid upon the party now In
power at the recent elections which It
ought to perform promptly. In order
that the burden carried by the people
under existing law may be lightened
as soon as possible and In order, also,
that' the 'business interests of the
country may not be kept too long in
suspense as to what the fiscal changes
are to be to which they will be re
quired to adjust themselves. It is clear
to the whole country that the tariff
duties must be altered. They must
be changed to meet the radical altera
tion in the conditions of our ecnomlc
life which the country has witnessed
within the last generation.
While the whole face and method of
our Industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recogni
tion the tariff schedules have re
mained what they were before the
change began, or have moved in the
direction they were given when no
large circumstance of our Industrial
development was what It is today.
Our task is to square them with the
actual facts.' The sooner that Is dona
the sooner we shall escape from suf
fering from the facts and the sooner
our men of business will be free to
thrive by the law of nature (the na
ture of. free business) Instead of by
the law of legislation and artificial ar
rangement. Bunniii noi nvnnRi,
We have seen tariff legislation
wander very far afield in our day
very far Indeed from the field in which
our prosperity might have had a nor
mal growth and stimulation. No one
who looks the facts squarely In the
face or knows anything that lies be
neath the surface of action can fall to
perceive the principles upon which
recent tariff legislation baa been
based. We long ago passed beyond
the modest notion of "protecting" the
industries of the country and moved
boldly forward to the idea, that they-
were entitled to the direct patronage
of the government. For a long time
a time so long that the men now active
in public policy hardly -remember the
conditions that preceded It we have
sought In our tariff schedules to give
each group of manufacturers or pro
ducers what they themselves thought
that they needed In order to
maintain a practically exclusive
market as against the ' rest of the
world. Consciously or unconsciously,
we have built up a set of privileges
and exemptions from competition be
hind which it was easy by any, even
the crudest, forms of combination to
organize monopoly; until at last noth
ing is normal, nothing is obliged to
stand the tests of efficiency and econ
omy, in our world of big business, but
everything thrives by concerted ar
rangement. : Only new principles of
action will save us from a final hard
crystallization ' of monopoly , and a
complete loss of the Influences that
quicken enterprise and keep inde
pendent energy alive. ,
It is plain what those principles
must be. We must abolish everything
that bears even the semblance of priv
ilege or of any kind of artificial ad
vantage, and put our business men
and producers under tbe stimulation
of a constant necessity to be efficient,
economical, and enterprising, masters
of competitive - supremacy, better
workers and merchants than any in
the world, r Aside from the duties laid
upon articles which we do not. and
probably cannot, produce, therefore,
and the duties laid upon luxuries and
merely for the sake of the revenues
they yield, the object of the tariff du
ties henceforth laid muat .be effective
competition, the whetting' of Ameri
can wlta by-contest with the wits of
the rest of the world.
Development Not Revolution.
. It would be unwise to move toward
this end headlong, with reckless
haste, or with strokes that cut at the
very roots of what has grown up
amongst us by long process and at
our own invitation. . It does not alter
a thing to upset it and break It and
deprive It of a chance to change. It
destroys it We must make changes
In. our fiscal laws. In our fiscal system, '
whose object is development, a more
free and wholesome development, not
revolution, or npset or confusion. We
I ' Woman In New 8phere. -
Oporto is the only city in Portugal
(hat can. boast of having a feminine
health Inspector, woman having
feo appointed by the government to
a sublnspectorshlp In, the department
of public health. Another striking ap
pointment by the government comes
with the selection of a well-known
woman scholar to a professorship in
ordinary at the Universities of Colm
bra and Lisbon. The lady professor
la question haa been appointed to fill
the chair la Germanlo philosophy.
-must build up trade, especially for-,
elgn trade. We need tbe outlet and
the enlarged field of energy more
than. we ever did before. We must
build up industry as well and must
adopt freedom In tbe place of arti
ficial stimulation only so far as It will
build, not pull down. In dealing with
the tariff the method by which this
may be done .will be a matter of judg
ment, exercised item by item.
To some not accustomed to the ex
citements and responsibilities of
greater freedom our methods may in
some respects and at some points
seem heroic, but remedies may be
herolo and yet be remedies. It is our
business to make sure that they are
genuine remedies. Our object Is clear.
If our motive is above just challenge
and only an occasional error of Judg
ment is chargeable against us' we
shall be fortunate.
We are called upon to render tbe
country a great service in more mat
ters than , one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods should
be thorough, as thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the
facts as they are, and not worked out
as If we were beginners. We are to
deal with the facta of our own day,
with the facts of no other, and to
make laws which square with those
facts. It is best, indeed it is neces
sary, to begin with the tariff. I will
urge nothing upon you now at the
opening of your session which can ob
scure' that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty. At a later time I may take the
liberty of calling your attention to re
forms which should press close upon
the heels of the tariff changes, if not
accompany them, of which the chief
Is the reform of our banking and cur
rency laws; but just now I refrain.
For the present, I put these matters
on one side and think only of this one
thing of the changes In our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels of pros
perity to a great people whom we
would serve to the utmost and
throughout both rank and file.

FAMILY NAMES OF ROYALTY
Roysl Personages Descended Mostly
From Counts, Existing Long Be-'
fore Surnames Came Into Use.
The royal families of Europe have
not generally .a surname becauss
mostly (unlike the English houses ol
Stuart and Tudor, which were the re
spective surnames of tbe first king ot
each house before , he ascended thi
throne) they are descended in th
male line from some territorial
counts existing long previous to the
period in which the somewhat mod
ern custom of surnames prevailed
King Georoge V derives in the mall
line from the ancients counts of Wet
tin (flourishing In the tenth century),
afterwards electors of Saxony, dukei
of Saxe Coburg, Gotha, etc. His an
cestors in the male line were of thi
house of Este, one ot whom, Azo ol
Este, married early In the tenth cen
tury the daughter and heiress ol
Guelph, duke of Bavaria, from which
match sprang in the male line the
dukes of Brunswick-Lunenburg, after
wards electors of Hanover, and kings
of Great Britain. . The members ot
the royal family are described by
their princely titles in ' proceedings
in the house of lords, and no allusion
Is made to any surname for . in
stance, they sign the test roll merely
by their personal o Christian name,
and we know nothing ot any surname
which appertained by right or by
usage, to her late majesty, Queen Vic
toria, or to his majesty King
George V.
Bermuda Fish.
At the market during a recent week
many handsome fish were to be seen,
several of them taken by American
tourists, and afterward presented to
they fisherman, who "took them out."
Large amber-jacks and bonltoes, splen
did game fish and chubs, as plucky
and "flghty" a fish as ever took bait,
were well represented. ,':
, Among the others seen on the mar
ket hooks and elsewhere were blue
fish, yellowtails, red snappers, gray
snappers, butterflsh, gagB, hamlets,
"bines," salmon and black rockftsh.
porgies and red rockflsh. "Nigger

midget, has been metamorphosed to

"butter flsh."-T-Bermuda Colonists.
"Soft" Job for Constable.
Pension are not the only things com
manded and forgotten. An Inquisitive

were searched and it was found that
E0 years previously, when the lobby
was being decorated, a policeman had
been stationed there to keep members
from soiling their clothes. The order
never having been countermanded, the
constable bad kept his beat tor half-)
a century. .
Keeping Mind In Condition. .

Hickman, Ky. As a result of the
terrific beating of the waves against
the dikes protecting the lower por
tion of this city, the levee gave way
the Mississippi pourt-d through the
gap at a mad rate of speed. AH per
sons employed In the district had
been warned out earlier In the day,
and no loss of life it reported.
The break will not relieve the riv
er situation at other points, the wa

to the main stream by the govern
ment, or Reelfoot levee, two miles
below the town. The ' section flooded

the homes of several hundred work
men, f
According to the report, the Reel
foot levee Is withstanding the flood
in good shape, no bad spots- being re
ported.
The break came at a point near
the Mongel Box compuny's saw mill,
where a 'blow-out" occurred under a
concrete wall. Within a short time,
the forces watching the levee had cut
the dike at six other places to equal
ize the spread of the water over West
Hickman.
A large barge carrying machinery
was in the river just outside the point
where the blow-out came, and when
the levee broke, carrying away about
fifty feet of the bank, the boat went
through the crevasse, tearing down a
building on the inside.
The western section of the city Is
covered with about fifteen feet of wa
ter. Because of the advance notice
given the residents, the property loss
will be less than last year.
Reports from Columbus, Ky., state
that a government quarter boat had
arrived there and that the flood ref
ugees have plenty of food and shelter.

London. The suffragettes, continu
ing their campaign of retaliation
against the sentence of Mrs. Emme-
llne Pankhurst, their leader, to
term of imprisonment, succeeded in
destroying another large country
house by fire.
As In several previous cases of the
kind, the residence, which waB situat

was unoccupied, but was being pre
pared for the reception of a tenant.
The owners of the building, a firm of
contractors, estimate their loss at

Cards bearing the Inscription, "votes
for women, and other suffragette
mottoes, were found on the grounds.

recent criminal acts attributed to the
suffragettes, principally the attempts
to destroy railway property, was the
work of men engaged by the women,

are being patrolled to prevent mis
creants from damaging them.
' General Huerta to Resign.
El Paso, Texas. To satisfy all fac
Hons in . the Mexican melee, General
Huerta has agreed to the naming ot
Pedro Lascurain as provisional pres
ident, said advices received here di
rectly from the national capital. Las
curain would serve out the unexpired
term of the late President Madero.
As minister of exterior relations In
Madero's cabinet Lascurain is enti
tled to serve as next In line, in view
of the deaths of Madero and Vice
President Suarez. The Huerta cabi

promise.

Ghouls Open Graves of Fever Victims.
Griffin, Ga. Disastrous consequenc
es to the health of the city are feared
by the medical profession here from
the desecration of ghouls of graves
of two white children who died of
scarlet fever In 1855. Protest has
been made to the police against the
graves continuing open a minute
longer than is necessary and demand
has been . made that the bodies be
relnterred at once, as the disease of
which they died is contagious. "There
were enough germs In those ' coffins
to kill a city," said a doctor.
Mexico Must Wait.
Washington. President , Wilson in
dicated "informally what the attitude
of this government would be toward
Mexico, China and the Philippines.
Pending a settlement ot - affairs in
Mexico, holding of elections and es

recognition probably will be' with
held. , The Chines republic is to be
recognised. Notice of this Intention
has been glvea to the diplomats ot all

THE POWER8.
Terms of the Mediation Offered by
European Powers to the Bal
kan Allies.
Constantinople. The Turkish gov
ernment declared that It unreservedly

The terms of mediation offered by
the European powers to Turkey and
the -Balkan allies were:

pire in Europe shall start at Enos and
following the course ot the Matrlza
river and then that of the Ergene

tation of which shall be fixed, by the
powers.
2. The question of the Aegean Isl
ands shall be settled by the powers.
"3. Turkey shall abandon all claim

FEDERAL LOAN FOR DAYTON
Proposed to Ask for $20,000,000 to
$40,000,000 for Restoring City.
Dayton, Ohio. "Dayton Is facing
one of the gravest problems that any
city of the world ever faces and we
want the world to know we need
money and food for our stricken peo
ple," said John H. Patterson, president
of the relief committee, after he re
turned, In company with H. E. Tal
bott chief engineer, from a tour of
the sections of Dayton swept by the
flood.
In speaking of a tenttatlve plan to
ask the federal government for a loan
of from $20,000,000 to $40,000,000 to
be used In reconstruction work, Mr.
Patterson said:
"At a meeting of bankers and offl-
oials of the building associations. It
was decided to make an appeal for
federal aid. The banks and building
associations have $60,000,000 worth
of -assets which they will put up as
collateral. - It may be deemed advis
able to ask the government to give
us some financial assistance. We feel
that the disaster is an emergency
which would J usury extraordinary ac
tion on the part of congress."
Express Companies Hit Hard.
Washington. Express companies of
the coutnry have been hit hard by
the operation ot the new parcel post
system, according to a statement sub
mitted to the Interstate commerce
commission by counsel for the com
lutnin in their final arguments

P1ERP0NT MORGAN IS DEAD
AMERICA'S GREATEST FINANCIER
8UCCUMBS AFTER FAILING
TO RALLY
Unconscious for Long. Tim Before
the End Came Death Concealed
for Many Hours.
Rome, Italy. J. Plerpont Morgan,
the New York financier, died here.
For months his health had been de
clining, but Ithe symptoms became
greatly aggravated, since he bad been
In a comatose condition.
Messages of sympathy have been
received from King Victor Emmanu
el, high officials of state, diplomatic
representatives and from many per
sonal friends In all parts of the en
tire world.
The death of Mr. Morgan was not
known in Rome until several hours
after it occurred, owing to the desire
that Mr. Morgan's son, J. Plerpont
Morgan, jr., who Is In New York,
should first be notified.
In the death of J. P. Morgan, the
world loses Its greatest constructive
financier. He had imagination such
as makes great artists and poets, but
ne applied it to material things.
To Morgan, more than to any oth
er man, Is due the credit for the
wonderful development of the United
States In tbe last generation. There
were other men who made more
money and --whose operation "-' rank
with his in the brilliancy of perform
ance, but Morgan Was always unique
in mat be always worked on the con
structive side of business and made
more money for other people than he
did for himself.
Perhaps no man ever' lived who
had so much of other people's money
placed a this absolute disposal as J.
P. Morgan.
It Is estimated that five hundred
million dollars belonging to outside
corporations was his to do with as he
saw fit , This statement Is made on
the authority of Wall street statlBtl
clans, who declare that he could, with
a wave of his hand, start or stop the
buying of any of the products used
by the corporations which he domi
nated. ..
This vast control Is secured by the
means of Interlocking directorates
through five powerful financial insti
tutions. These concerns had 341 di
rectors In 112 corporations. The
house of Morgan alone has 63 direc
tors, in 39 corporations, having total
resources of capitalization of $10,036,-
000,000.

CAPTURED
BY MONTENEGRINS
TINY MONTENEGRO POURS OUT
BLOOD JUST TO BE ROBBED
BY THE POWERS.
VICTORY AT GREAT COST
Two Hundred Bomb Throwers Per
ished to a Man to Win
Victory.
Cettinje. Great Tarabosch Port,
which for months has held the allies
off Scutari, la now in the hands of
the Montenegrins, thanks to the sac
rifice of 200 bomb throwers, every
one of whom lost his life in a last
desperate effort to clear the way to
the town, for the possession of which
Montenegro is ready to give up every
thing. These bomb throwers were all pick
ed men, chosen from several battal
ions. Clambering up the mountainside
under a murderous fire from the Tur
kish guns, they cut the wire entan
glements and, getting to close quar
ters, threw bombs among the Turks,
thus opening the way for the storm
ing' party.
Not one of the bomb throwers re
turned, but they had accomplished
their object and the Montenegrin in
fantry, following close upon them,
charged the trenches.
The Turks covered their ground
and a desperate, bloody, band-to-hand
fight ensued, ending In a victory for
the Montenegrins. -
Tier after tier of entrenchments
had to be taken, but the troops of
the southern division under General
Martlnevitch, to whom tbe task had
been assigned, overcame all obsta
cles. London. Just as Montenegro had
scored her first real success by get
ting a foothold at Harabosch, the key
to Scutari, the warships of the pow
ers are gathering along the coast to
compel her to give up the most pre
cious fruits of five months' fighting.
Should the demonstration prove in
effective, it is understood that the
Montenegrin ports of Antlvarl and
Dulslgno will be occupied.
