JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN
OUTLINES HIS POLICY
Declares Mother Country and Her
Colonial Children Can Make
"The Splendid Isolation"
AT PARTING OF THE WAYS

LEEDS, Dec. 16.-Joseph Chamberlain ad-
dressed two immense audiences here to-
night, making the last speeches of his
fiscal campaign for the present year.
From the moment of Mr.. Chamberlain
arrival in Leeds the enthusiasm was ire
mendous.
The first speech was made in the Coli
scum and was listened to by 5000 persons
n a similar number attended the over
flow meeting held afterward in the town
hall.
The feature of Mr.. Chamberlain's speech
at the Coliseum was his announcement of
the fact that he has been engaged In get
ting together a committee to make in
quiries among the various branches of
trade at home and abroad. the work of
which committee he expected. he said, will
result in clearing away many difficulties.
The committee will consist of about thirty
business men of the highest standing, who
will begin their work in the near future. II
will be composed of men from all centers
of industry, both in the United Kingdom
and in the colonies.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the country was
now at the parting of the ways and pos
terity would never forgive the government
IL 1T lost the slightest chance of securing
what was actually needed by the nation.
In conclusion Mr.. Chamberlain said he
advocated "the splendid isolation of the
mother country and her colonial children
as a family, standing together through
good and through i'll. This might be a
dream, said Mr.. Chamberlain, but they had
the power to make IL a reality.

Admiral Cotton Instructed to Con
vey Americas Representative
Back to Alexandretta.
TURKEY TO BE HUMBLED
Reparation Must Be Made and the
Porte Also Must Express Re-
gret for Recent Outrage.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-As a result Of
Minister Leishman's advices respecting the
Alexandretta affair, the State Department
has requested the Navy Department to place
a warship at the disposal of Consul Davis,
now at Beirut, upon which he might return
to Alexandretta at his pleasure. The Navy
Department accordingly cabled instructions
to Admiral Cotton on board the flagship
Brooklyn, at Alexandretta, Egypt, to place
a vessel at the disposal of Mr.. Davis. 1t is
believed the Brooklyn will be selected. 1t is
left to the consul to arrange the terms of
his reception.
Acting Secretary of State Adee has
taken a firm stand in the matter Of
the assault upon the consul by Turkish Off
States Consul w. r. Davis by Turkish off,
Gals and police at Alexandretta. He has
cabled Minister Leishman to present the
facts to the Turkish government, and in
form hat government that the case is one
seeming to invite an expression of regret
and PREPARATION. The State Department
does not indicate what measure of repara-
ton is expected, but it is understood the
Turkish government certainly will, by re-
moval or otherwise, punish the offending
Turkish officials and compensate Attarian
for the losses and injuries he sustained.
The Turkish government is willing to COM
pensate Attarian and deport him. 1t is
understood that the main offense is the
assault upon the United States consul, a
matter of gravity in international law.
The consul has found refuge for the time
being at Beirut, awaiting instructions from
the State Department or Minister Leish-
man as to whether or not he shall return
to his post. The that reached
the department is to the effect that Mr..
Davis was acting entirely within his rights
and powers, and that while engaged in pro-
tecting, as was his duty, a naturaliZed
American citizen he was set upon by five
Turkish policemen and dragged along the
ground. 1t also appears incidentally that
upon recovering his footing the consul
promptly and soundly thrashed all FIVE of
the policemen.
Mr.. Leishman, our minister at Constan-
tinople, under the departments instruc-
tons. has made a quick inquiry into the
assault and, while the detailed mail report
of the result of his Investigation has not
yet reached the State Department, Acting
Secretary Adee felt that the cable advices
warranted him In taking positive action.

BRUTAL as IN OK DRIVER
German N~oncommissioned Officer
Given Five Years in Prison.

BERLIN, Dec. flowing to the mistreat-
ment of soldiers on 1870 counts and abuses
of authority on 100 counts, a noncommis-
stoned officer named Franzki. of the
Eighty-ifth Infantry. has been sentenced
TO five years imprisonment and dishonorable
discharge from the army by court-martial at
Rendsburg. The court declared Franzki had
displayed 1.-The brutality of an ox-driver'
and pronounced his superior officers guilty
OF negligent conduct.
Franzki borrowed money from soldiers
h~abitually and never repaid them and beat
his subordinates with his fists and clubs
and whips and spat In the faces of men.
Several of the men were maltreated from
100 TO 200 times each. One of them was dis
missed from the service disabled. Franzki
had left the army and had become a police
man at Hamburg before his brutalities were
disclosed by the desertion and recapture of
one OF his victims.
One witness. who had run his head
against a wall until he dropped unconscious
the seventh time, was asked by the Judge:
.Why did you do such a senseless thing? %
AN officer told me TO do So" was the
reply.
but he had no right to order you to
do such a thing said the judge.
IT had TO obey" replied the witness. IF
i had not he would have reported me for
INSTRUMENTATION"
Franzki had a favorite stick which ne
called Friedrich Wilhelm" This he broke
while beating a private. and he got another
and christened IL Frederick the Great
who. he said. was the best sergeant the
Prussia army ever had"

CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY
ROBBED BY SECRETARY
w. K. McKowen, Employe of
Board of Regents, Lost $4,000
at the Race Track.
PLACED UNDER ARREST

BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. lev. x. Nc
Kowen, secretary of the board OF regents
OF the State University, confessed to-day
TO President Benjamin Ide Wheeler that he
was a defaulter TO the amount of 10000.
and possibly more. Most OF the money was
lost at the race track. Mr.. McKowen has
been suspended by President Wheeler and
placed under arrest by the local authorities.
Secretary McKowen's arrest followed the
discovery that he had attempted to pay a
racing debt with a check made out to him
personally by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. This
check was for 81, 160, and was handed over
by McKowen to Bookmake John Davis in
payment of markers on the races for s1,120.
Davis gave McKowen $40 in change and de-
posted the check in the Western National
Bank. from which 1t turned up to expose
the affair.
President Wheeler said to-day: II have
suspended McKowen from office pending
the action of Governor Pardee, who is presi-
dent Of the board OF regents, and have
placed the office in charge temporarily of
my private secretary, Victor Henderson.
From what we have thus learned Ii appears
that McKowen at different times since 1898
has used sums of money that came into his
hands, and instead OF depOSiting them with
the treasurer, whether as fees or donations
to the university, has appropriated them to
his own use. He covered this up, as far as
we know, by taking corresponding amounts
from university funds by charging them as
expenditures under the head of one or the
other university funds. He says ne has not
falsifed his bookkeeping by making false
entries, or In any other way. So far as we
know In this fiscal year the loss amounts
to 81, 200. The total amount we do not know.
He said he thought IL would be $40. 1000 or
more. He had spent IL on the race track"
President Wheeler spoke highly of Nc
Kowen's personality, and was visibly af-
fected In telling how his trust had been be-
trayed. NcKowen has been in the univer-
sfty about twenty years. is unmarried and
about forty years Of age. His salary was
$2,4OC a year.
