XCTION TAKEN BY THE CAUCUS
There Were Many kicks But Under-
wood Shows His Ability to Run
""the Caucus and Is Deter
mined, to Do It
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
Washington, April, 11. Just by
way of a forecast of the succession
of sensations which will be sprang
before- the new tariff bill becomes a
law. Three distinct fights were
brought out in the house and senate
during the discussing, of the sched
ules.,
The net result was overwhelming
evidence that the radicals are in con
trot of the house and that the bill as
j drawn will go swinging, through.. No
A such result can as yet be predicted in
the senate.
The first rebellion was that of the
Ohio wool, congressmen, who or
ganized a revolt in the house caucus,
issuing a call to all ' wool and sugar
men to Join them in open revolt.
The second wad the placing of shoe
machinery of the free; list by which
action Mr. TJnderwpjjcTi serves notices
on the conservatives that he can run
the caucus as he pleases and intends I
to -do 'it.,.'
The-third was the discovery by thelmunity law in the case of Rojas and
senate finance committee that the I
chemical schedule of . thfr-present bill
was drawn by the; sarna-man, Her-1
stein, who drew the schedule in the I
last bill and who is charred with hav-1
ing, rad many "Serions''rOversighit8.
The committee has hired a new ex-
T pert and a savage attack will be1 made
I on Herstein when the bill comes to
the floor. This expert, was severely
arraigned by Senator Overman, of
North Carolina, during the discussion
of the old bill last July.
The Ohio wool men after their in
ability to secure any. recognition for
their merino raising constituents,
went out of caucus this afternoon
with blood in their eyes and deter-
, mined to make a battle.
When they concluded a half an
hour's violent indignation meeting
they issued the following call, send
ing copies to both sugar and wool
men:
"Those who believe that th.e orlgK
na! Judgement of the ways and means
d committee in placing a duty of 15 per
" cent raw wool was more just to the
farmer than free wool and more in
accordance with. the platform decla
ration and who desire to aid In the
fight for a return of it least this du
ty to the present bill, are urged to
meet in the majority room of the
. house of representative building at
10 o'clock Saturday morning. This
letter Is hurriedly forwarded to you
at the request of numerous members
vitally interested.
The members who signed this call
are Representatives Sherwood, Clay
pool, NathricR, Ashbrook, Francis,
Bost and White, all of Ohio,
These men are between two fires
and they know it. While they have
na direct information that they will
Rubbed into line by use of the
wrsiueuiiai patronage, wnicn 18 what
happened to the Taft tariff Insur
gents, they feel sure something like
it is sure to happen. Underwood is
now sure that he can outvote them
in caucus and pass the bill; but they
are afraid he may. get angry and
make a lot of trouble for them In
committee appointments. On the
other hand, if they do not make a
fight for free woo! they will not be re
turned.
Indignation among them was at a
white beat today and It Is certain
they will make a separate effort to
defeat the bill as a whole if some at
tentlon Is not paid to their demands.
The restoration of shoe machinery
to the free list In the'eaucus fur
nished another evidence of the now
er of the radicals appointed out ex
clusively by the International . News
Service, "one of the Jokers of the bill
was the elimination of this Item
from the list of machinery to be adl
mitted free. The American Machin

UNDER CIVIL SERVICE.
Plan to Include the Whole Postoffice
' Department.
Washington, April 11. The reor
ganization of the postoffice depart-
Iment with provision made for the
selection of employes from the post
master general to the most humble
member of the staff through the civil
service was advocated today of Sena
tor Norris. General Norris will in
troduce a bill providing for these re
forms when the senate convenes to
morrow.
Under the terms of that measure
the postmaster general will be se
lected for a term of from three to
four years and could be removed only
for cause, while the lowest employ
would have an opportunity to rise in
the service were he diligent.
TRIED FOR TREASON.
It Is Thought That Rojas Will Be
Convicted.
Mexico City, April 11. The hear
ing of treason charges, against Man-
luel RoJas was continued before a
district court Judge here- today. It is
thought the hearing will be complet
I ed tomorrow and It is felt in certain
I quarters here that sufficient evidence
I already has been submitted to war-
rant the Judge in asking the cham
ber of deputies to suspend the im-
that the charges will be pressed
against him.
The charge of treason is based up
on the appeal made by Rojas to
President Taft to intervene in behalf
of President Madera and. .Vice-Presi
dent Suarez.
GIRLS NOT TO BLAME.
Cannot Escape from Influence of De
. graded Homes.
Milwaukee, Wis., April 11. -Ac
cording to Miss S. T. Breckenridge,
probation officer of Chicago,' eighty
per cent of delinquent girls are a
high grade of imbeciles who cannot
be good.. "The girls are not moral"
said Miss Breckenridge, addressing
the social service institute, here to
day, "and it does no good to put them
on probation and then send them
back to degraded homes. They can
not be good. It is the duty of the
state to pay the board of such girls
in some respectable home while she
is being trained in an industrial line
of some kind."
DEER DESTROY CROPS.
Farmers Want State to Reimburse)

Utica, N. Y.. April 11. Farmers in
the Adirondacks section declare they
have suffered heavy loss to their prop
erty from bands of deer which roam
over the farming land In search of
green food and farmers of this sec
tion are now planning to ask the state
to recompose them for their loss.
The . deer have become plentiful
since the rigid enforcement of the
game laws. The cold spring made
grass late In sprouting in the moun

THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS
Railroads Are Rushing Clay and Rock
to Banks of Big Stream to
Strengthen the Weak
ened Levees.
Memphis, Tenn., April 11. Flood
conditions on the lower Mississippi
continue critical at certain points. At
Beulah, Miss., a break is expected
momentarily. The embankment be
gan caving but was reinforced by
I piling. A thousand men are working
on the levees there,
The situation around Helena is
grave. Water from breaks further
north now is rtinning back into the
Mississippi at the mouth of the St.
Francis. A 55-foot stage is predict
ed for Helena. The levees there still
are holding after being raised. South
of Helena the levees are being
strengthened at many ppints, espec
ially at Modoc, where a weak spot
developed. Railroads are sending car
after par of clay and stone to num
J erous points while men
constantly
are patrolling the levee line.
At Memphis and points north the
river began to fall at the rate of 1.10
of a foot an hour today. Weather
observers believe that this fall will
not be maintained, however, as back
water pasisng through the Arkansas
breaks soon will begin coming Into
the Mississippi.
Hickman, Ky., reports a weak place
hi the- Reelfoot levee at Two-Mile;
Every mile of the dyke is being
watched closely. ,
More than 10,000 persons, hungry
and homeless, are being sent from the
flood country in St. Francis basin to
places of safety. Probably one-third
of that number will be in Memphis
before the end of this week.
Cairo, III., April 11. After being
closed twelve days all business hous
es and saloons will be permitted to
open tomorrow. The flood situation
was much brighter today and resi
dents of Cairo now feel that the dan
ger is over.
Omaha, Neb., April 11. The Mis
souri river at this point rose three
feet last night, making a rise of near
ly six feet within forty-eight hours.
Reports from Sioux Cjty and other
up river points are that the crest of
the flood will be several feet higher
than the present height. The crest
will not reach Omaha until Monday.
A tremendous volume of water from
the rapidly melting snow which fell
recently is pouring down the Missouri
and cities along the lower stretches
may look for very high water.

FIGHTING TAMMANY.
President Says All Sides Will
Be
Heard When: Tim Comes.
Washington, April 11. Further op
position to Tammany Hall and its
machinations particularly as affect
ing up state politics in New York
was manifested ' at the ' white house
today in the visit of former Repre
senative Stephen' B. Ayres, of New
York.
He told the president that he did
not think it good for the democratic
party in general that Tammany
should be consulted about up state
appointments apd added that he
hoped the organization would get as
little help as possible from the ad
ministration. .
As is the case of Franklin B. Roose
velt, assistant secretary of the navy,
who called on the mission yesterday,
President Wilson tola Mr. Ayres thai
no appointments of this kind had
come before him as yet but he might
be certain that when they were to be
disposed of all sides would be given
an opportunity to express their posi
tions, in the matter.
FEW JOBS OPEN.
Nearly Two Hundred Postmasters to
Be Appointed.
Washington, April 11. The ap
pointment of 196 postmasters to exist
ing vacancies in the postal service
was discussed with President Wilson
by Postmaster General Burleson at
the cabinet meeting today and again
later in the afternoon. The post
master general thought that the
"emergency vacancy" that is those
which have existed for sometime and
are in crying ' need of executive
should be the first to be filled. The
president agreeing with him. the
postmaster general compiled a list of
19S of these offices with the appointes
as suggested to him and confered
thereon with the president. The
names of the successful candidates
will not be known until the nomina
tions for the postmastership go to the
senate.
May Be Another War.
London, April 11. The Chronicle's
Vienna correspondent learns:
"There is a danger or a new war
breaking out between the allies them
selves. Bulgaria and Greece are fast
difting into amed conflict over Sa-
lonica. Roth sides 'are massing
troops in that district to support their
claims.
"France and Russia are said to
support Greece's claim to the. seaport
but the other powers favor Bulgaria.'
ON THE PROGRESSIVE
It .Will Follow TarirV Legis
lation
MATTER PROGRESSING NICELY
President Has Discussed the Matter
With the Leaders in the House
and Senate.
Washington, April 11. it .was
learned tonight that the drafting of
hanking and currency reform legisla
tion has gone much farther than is
generally supposed and a measure in
corporating the reforms in question
will be positively introduced and pass
ed at the present session.
President Wilson has given his idea
as to reform he wishes to Institute
and his ideas have been amplified and
learned through a series of quiet con
ferences between himself and the
house and senate leaders. The sub
ject has been kept in the background
however, because the president de
sires to concentrate on the tariff.
The banking and currency reform
will be included in an administration
bill which will be the subject of an
argument between the house and
senate banking ami currency com
mittee and President Wilson before
it is Introduced.
The plan favored for effecting the
changes in present hanking and cur
rency law will provide for independ
ent reserve association which con
stitutes a constant market for com
mercial paper, substitution of a
standard style of paper money in
place of the various bank notes and
issues, and an international agree
nient to change the price of gold at
the mint.
The bill will eliminate the central
bank idea and it is probable that no
guarantee of bank deposits will be
included. In .substitution for the lat
ter clause a fund t meet the obliga
tions of Insolvent banks up to the
amount of the bank's assets is under
consideration.
It is expected that the currency and
banking reform measure w;il be In
troduced in congress shortly after
the personnel of the house banking
and currency committee is made
known on May I.
Chairman Omen, of the senate
banking and currency committee, and
Congressman Carter Glass, of Vir
ginia of the bouse banking and cur
rency committee, are aaid to be both
at work on bills covering this legislation.
Cashier of Claremont
Bank Arrested
BROUGHT JO RALEIGH
Claims He Was Only an Em
ploye of the Concern
lilAY TURN STATE'S EVIDENCE
The President of the Concern Was
Arrested Yesterday in Birm
ingham and Will Be Borught
Back to the State.
Raleigh, N. C, April 11. Special.
Cashier Demit Lafoon, of the Bank of
Claremont, was brought here and
committed to the city prison today
to await trial on the warrant of State
Qank Examiner S. A. Hubbard charg
ing him with implication in the
banking frauds perpetrated by the
States Trust company, Wilmington,
whose banks at Claremont. Angier
and Macclesfield were closed by the
corporation commission the past few
days. He Insists that lie had no crim
inal connection with the operations of
the States Trust company, was em
ployed at a salary by th States Trust
company to serve as cashier of the
Claremont bank. He says if he had
been connected with the scheme in
any criminal way he could easily
have "skipped out as have President
Smith, Vice-President Tarver and
othrs, of the company. He was taken
up to the offices of Attorney General
Bickett this morning for a conference
with the attorney general, members
of the corporation -.commission and
the state bank examiners. While nti
official statement to his effect has
been made it is probable that Iafoon
will turn state's evidence against the
officers of the States Trust company
in the- hope of demonstrating his
freeness from criminal intent ' in the
service he rendered as cashief of
I Claremont bank.
Ector H. Smith, fugitive president!
of the States Trust company, of Wil
mington, perpetrators of the most
amazing fraudulent banking scheme
North Carolina has ever known, is un
dcr arrest in Birmingham and the
corporation commission . sent an of
ficer after him tonight armed with a
requisition on the governor of Ala
bama. They have information that
Vice-President Tarver is in Augusta
and expect his arrest there at once.
The corporation commission had a
letter today from busines? men of En
glehard, asking about the States
Trust company and stating that they
had been induced to subscribe $.0uo
stock in a local bank as they thought.
but that when the stj-k was deliv
ered it proved to be in the States
Trust company. Cash and notes had
been paid for this stock and if the
company was not all right they want
ed to know what steps to take to re
cover money and notes. They had
been assured that the town would he
nVovided with a bank cf $10,oon cap
ital and that the local Interests should
control it. There is no consolation
in the way of prospects of recovery
of money that the corporation com
mission could offer the Englt-hard cit
izens. There- were probably twenty
towns in the state that were being
worked in this way, the commission
ers find.
The corporation commissioners are
more and more convinced that if they
culd have perated a few months long
er the state would hav been touch
ed for a million or more dollars. They
were operating an endless chain of
finances in rediscounting . notes and
were arranging for having notes dis
counted by northern banks as well as
beginning to involve legitimate banks
of this state in their liberal discount
propositions.

Want Country to Feet That
Navy Is Its Own
THE INCREASE OF THE Wt
The Demand for More Battleship
Must Be the Result of a De
mand from the People of
. the Country.
Washington, April 11. In his first
speech on the defense of the United,
States since he bacame a member of
President Wilson's cabinet, Josephos
Daniels, secretary of the navy, told a
large gathering of members of the
navy league at the annual banquet,
of that organization tonight that he
saw no occasion for a great agitation
over the present condition of tho
American navy and that a strong con
structive naval policy would have to
wait upon a demand from the people
Secretary Daniels sal din part:
"If we can convince the people of
the United States that the navy is
theirs and that you and I are here as
their servants to carry out their
wishes and interests in regard to it,
I will feel that my services here have
not been in vain. I don't want the
people to feel that the navy is an
chored somewhere away from the
in a far midocean of professionalism,
but is moored alongside the Ameri
can home and for its protection. I
want them to know about it, not on
ly its glories of the past, but its
present efficiency and its future pos
sibilities. .'.'
"Every great thing must come, from
the outside; as for instance camo the
constitution of the United States, the
abolition of slavery, prohibition- hi the
south, the Spanish-American war
which McKinley tried patriotically lit
vain to avert after the thunder of the
exploding of the Maine had been gin
ned into the ears of the people. .The
greater navy must come in this way.
The secretary may suggest and the
general board outline a policy, but the
real propaganda must come from the
people from the men of Iowa, of
Virginia, of North Carolina, of Ten
nessee of Connecticutt and the oth
er states. r
"The man who is confident is apt
to put up a- strong fight did he have
to gfiht and make good his self-reliance,
but I am hot sure the spirit of
self-reliance and confidence is not s
much better attitude for Americans,
unwise as it may seem, than at at
titude in which we are endangering
ourselves now in the eyes of the
world of underestimating and mini
mizing our strength and indirectly
advertising ourselves as weaklings.
