next few days, resulting from the retire
the promotion Of Major General Chaffee,
to be a lieutenant general.
Major General William A. Kobbe and
Brigadier General Alfred Mordecai were re-
tired to-day and Major Generals Joseph p.

way and Frank NJ Coke will follow them

Dodge will become paymaster general.
Saturday Major General Wallace f. Ran
dolph will retire and General George l..
Gillespie becomes a permanent major gen
eral and assistant chief of the general
staff. while Brigadier General Alex

PANAMA CONSTITUTIONS
FIRST DRAFT APPROVED
Catholic Faith to Be Recognized,
but Church and State to
Be Separate.
QUAKE ON THE ISTHMUS

PANAMA, Jan. @.-The constitutional
convention met again to-day and approved,
on the first debate, a draft of a COnsttu-
ton which contains the following principal
points: The abolition of business monopo-
lies in the republic; the infiiction of the
death penalty for political crimes; the
abolition of army and the establishment
of an efficient police force; the fact that
the majority of isthmians are of the Ro-
man Catholic faith is recognized, but
church and state are separate; all citizens,
with the exception of members of any mill
tary body which may be established, shall
have the right to vote; the press shall be
free. The Presidents term of office shall
be four years: there are to be two sub
Vice Presidents, one from the Liberal and
one from the Conservative party, and they
shall serve for two years; the judiciary is
to be elected by Congress.
That part of the draft which refers to
territorial boundaries delimits the canal
zone as specified in the Hay-Bunau-Varilla
treaty and this is believed Indirectly to ap-
prove the treaty.
1t has been agreed among the members of
the convention to approve a bill ratifying
all the acts of the provisional government;
this will do away with the necessity of a
separate bill proposing the ratification by
the convention of the act whereby the
Junta ratified the ay-Bunau-Varilla
treaty.

TO DECIDE QUESTION OF
JOINING THE ALLIANCE
Representatives of Painters and
Plumbers Union Confer with
Executive Board.

M. p. Carrick, of Lafayette, general sec
rotary of the Painters International Union
and j. w. Spencer, general organizer of the
plumbers, were in the city yesterday in
conference with the national executive
board of the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners, with reference to the
Structural Building Trades Alliance OF
America, the plans of which were formu-
lated in Indianapolis last summer The
whole situation was gone over by the men,
the entire afternoon being devoted to the
subject. The question as to whether the
executive board of the carpenters will de-
eide to be one of the organizations Of the
alliance is to come before the meeting of the
board to-day. If the board indorses the ac-
ton a vote will Immediately be taken by
the brotherhood according to locals
Mr.. Spencer is the temporary secretary
of the new Building Trades Alliance and
has been working in it's interests for the
past few months. Several of the organiza-
tions represented in the conference here
have already taken vote on the question
of concentrating such an alliance and in
every case the majority has been greatly
in favor of the move. Ii is probable that
after all the organizations have Endorsed
the proposition a general convention will
be called in Indianapolis.

GERMAN STEEL MAKERS
TO MAKE WAR ON PRICES
Failure of the Plan to Merge All
Big Concerns Into One
Syndicate.
TWO SEPARATE GROUPS

BERLIN. Jan. 20.-The conferences held
at Cologne this week in an attempt to or
ganize all the great German steel com
panies into a syndicate have resulted in
failure. The conferences succeeded in split
ting the steel industry into two groups. the
first of which includes the manufacturers
of half-rolled goods, Orders and other SIM
pie structural forms, while the seconS is
composed of the manufacturers of steel
rails and other railway material.
The second group embraces the sixteen
great companies which took the lead in
trying to effect the general organization
These companies have now decided to hold
together and to begin a price war on the
companies which refused to accept the
terms offered for the general steel syndi-
cate. The outside companies include such
important establishments as the Krupp gun
works, the Bochum Cast Steel Company,
the Westphalan steel works, the Hasper
Company and all the Slesian manufacture
ers.
Another meeting will be called for Feb.
5, when the first group of manufacturers
Will invite all the outside makers Of half
rolled goods and girders to join in a move
ment to compel the second group to come
to terms 1t is expected that this war OF
prices will be carried into foreign markets
and that it will result in lower prices for
German steel products than ever before.
At a meeting held here to-day of the di-
rectors of the Allegemeine Electrical COM
pany, of Berlin. General Manager Rathenau
informed those present of new company
for the manufacture of steam turbines and
of his negotiations with the General Elec-
trio Company during his visit to New York
last September. 1t appears that the Allege-
meme Company has acquired from the
General Electric Company the patent rights
to the Curtis turbine while the General
Company has secured from the Allege-
meme Company the rights TO the
inventions of Professors Riedeler and
Stumpf, of the Technical Institute of Char
lottenburg. These two companies are to
unite to supply capital for the Berlin
Steam Turbine Company, which is the
name of the new concern, the capital or
which is to be S1,250,000. Further, work
ing in connection with the European in
terests of the ThOmson-Houston Electric
Company, the General and the Allegemeine
companies to establish an Italian tur-
bine company with a capital of $l,2O0,00O.
The Allegemine Company is to issue new
capital to the amount of $5,625,0OO in con-
nectiOn with these operations and for the
complete absorption of the Union Electro
cal Company of Berlin, which has hitherto
held the Thomson-Houstonp patents in Ger
many and adjacent countries.
German electricians expect an enormous
increase in the German electrical industry
as the result of the application of turbine
engines to the iron, coal and other leading
industries.

RYAN'S OPERATIONS
WILL BE LIMITED

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 20.-John J. Ryan
will profit little by his reinstatement by
the Highland Park Jockey Club, accord
ing TO information received here by turf
man from a prominent member of the East
ern Jockey Club. The fact that a bad odor
hangs around Ryan from his "get-rich-
quick turf investment concerns and later
his running Of the Newport race track in
opposition 70 the Western Turf Congress-
is not relished by the Eastern racing mag
mates.
This turfman says Ryan may be al
lowed booking privileges the ordinary
term goes, but that Is up to the Metro
politan Turf Association. II is also like
~ ne could race few horses in the name
of someone else, but IL is not thought the
big tracks will cOuntenance any extended
operations of horse racing in the colors of
IL Ryan had been reinstated by the Western
Jockey Club and the ban OF outlawry re-
moved from him such action would have
made his past deeds forgotten, but the mere
lifting of a suspension by the Fort
Erie Association or the Highland Park
Jockey Club is merely the pardOning of one
offense. He says men like Whitney, Keene
and Belmont would hardly care TO have a
man OF the notoriety of Ryan a competitor
for turf honors on the big tracks of the
East, and while he may be seen in the bet
ting Enclosure as a racing owner, accord
ing TO this Information, Ryan will never fig
