ELkINS PROPOUNOS IDEAS.
Offers Suggestions for Federal Reg
ulation of Railroads,

Washington, Nov. 24.-The senate
committee on interstate commerce to-
day continued the discussion of meas
ures relative to amending the railway
regulations. Many ideas were ex-
changed, but there were no develop
ments of Importance. Senator Elkins,
chairman of the committee, occupied
much of the session in making sugges-
tions and discussing propositions which
he thought ought 20 be incorporated in
any bill that may be reported. These
suggestions were numerous and would
mean lengthy measure aside from
regulation provisions.
Mr.. Elkins did not bring forward the
pooling proposition, but intends to
present it later in some modified form,
so that there may be freer traffic be-
tween railroads. One particlar point
made by him looked to compelling
trunk lines to afford better facilities
to lateral lines and small roads which
are compelled to use big roads to reach
a market. The better management of
the private car lines so as to meet the
demands of shippers and amendment of
the laws bearing on terminal compa-
nies and terminal charges also were

JAPAN'S GREAT NEW NAVY.
Will Build Many Huge Battleships Of
High Speed.

Victoria, B c., Nov. 23.-The Jap
anese admiralty has entered upon an
elaborate scheme of naval expansion
which is expected to be approved at the
coming session of the diet. According
to news by the Shawmut today, admir-
atty officials say Japan's best ships are
beginning to be out of date, and larger
ships with much heavier armament and
higher speed will be built.
The Jill Shimpo says the battleship
of the future navy of Japan will die
place % 900 tons and have an arma-
ment of IA l2-inch guns and a speed of
20 knots, while the future cruisers will
displace Is. 900 tons and have speed
of 25 knots, but no official announce
ment has been made in this regard.

built in America in sections, gave such

SMOOT WILL NOT RESIGN.
No Action on Senator's Case Likely
Before January.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Senator Reed
Smoot, who arrived here this evening,
says most emphatically that there is
no foundation for the story that he in
tends to resign from the senate, and he
is at loss to understand the source of
the report. He is surprised to learn
that the senate committee will reopen
his case and give further hearings, but
has no objection to that course. He
furthermore declares his willingness to
abide by any decision which the senate
may make when it comes to vote on
his case.
1t will probably be late in January
before the committee on privileges and
elections makes report on the case.
Hearings cannot be resumed before the
first week in January. After their con-
clusion the committee will take come
time to digest the great mass OF testi-
mony and it will be remarkable if it
can report in January. Once the case
goes to the senate it will receive
prompt consideration, as it is a matter
of the highest privilege and will be dis
posed of before legislative matters can
receive consideration. 1t is expected
the debate will occupy several weeks.

FOUNDERS ON ROCKS,
Unknown Steamer Goes Down Off
Coast Of Nova Scotia.

Halifax, N. S., Nov. 22.-The vie-
lent storm which swept the coast of
Nova Scotia the latter part of last week
apparently has claimed another victim
A two-masted steamer is thought to
have gone to the bottom on Thursday
afternoon off Beaver harbor on the east
coast of the province, 55 miles off Hall
fax. Her identity has not been estab-
lished, and, so far az can be ascer-
tained, not one of her crew survived.
News of the disaster, which is one of
the strongest in shipping records, was
brought to Halifax tonight by the
steamer Kilkeel, commanded by Cap
tain Allan from Port Hastings, Cape
Breton, with cargo of coal. The
Kilkeen, on Thursday morning, ran
into gale. Heading into Beaver har-
Dor at 10 o'clock, Captain Allan OBJ
served behind him another steamer
with two masts and heavily laden ap-
preaching. The gale was then blowing
at terrific rate and the sea was break
ing heavily on the numerous shoals
which stud that coast.
When the kilkeen reached the haven
the unknown steamer passed west Of
Horse island, near the harbor entrance,
which hid her hull. Suddenly great
cloud of steam or smoke shot upward
and, when it cleared away, the masts
of the incoming steamer had vanished.

How many Of the countless pupils
tions in their school lessons are aware
that the source OF their troubles was
"a fatal book" written by a medieval
mathematician at the court Of a Ma

Rashid, the calf who Is immortalized

huge blunder that he made-the blum

this calamity may be banged from the

Will SUBMIT
TWO REPORTS
Board of Engineers on Canal Not Of
One Mind.
President and Chief Engineer Stevens
Favor locks-Entre Matter Will
Be Placed With Canal Commits
sion for Consideration, Which
Stands With President.

Washington, Nov. 2I.-Although the
board OF consulting engineers has de.
cided in favor of sea level canal, it is
yet an open question whether the Pan.
anna canal shall be sea level or lock
waterway. The decision of the board
is not final. 1t was reached by vote
of to in favor of the sea level pro-
ject, General Davis and Messrs. Burr
and Parsons joining with the five for
eign engineers against a lock canal.
The report of the board probably will
mot be submitted to President Roose-
welt for five or SIX weeks. AS to the
character of the great project, the re-
port will not be unanimous. In fact,
two reports, one by the majority and
one by the minority, will be submit
ted. These reports the president will
lay before the canal commission and
Chief Engineer Stevens for considera-
tion. Mr.. Stevens will come to the
United States from the isthmus to take
up the subject with the commission
and the president.
1t is conceded by the adherents of a
sea level canal that to construct such a
waterway will cost much more money
and time than to build lock canal.
1t is known that in the mind of the
president these are vital elements. 1t
is his desire, expressed to some of those
who have discussed the subject with
him, that the canal should be built as
expediously as possible and at no great
er expense than may be necessary to
provide a practicable waterway. He
has indicated to some OF those to whom
he has talked that he personally favors
a lock canal, but he is determined full
ly that the subject shall be considered
thoroughly from all points of view be-
fore final decision is reached.
Mr.. Stevens will leave Colon for
Washington next Thursday. He is
coming to give the commission infOr-
nation upon different phases of the
work on the isthmus, but more particu-
larly his view as to the type of canal.
These views are already known to the
officials who are in charge Of the canal
work, but an official statement from
the engineer is desired.
Mr. Stevens told officials who recent
ly visited the canal zone that, if sea
level canal was to be constructed, the
government ought to put boys under 20
years of age in charge of it, so that
they would last until the work was
completed. The visit Of Mr.. Stevens
for the especial purpose of giving his
views as to the type of canal indicates
that the judgment of the consulting
board of engineers is not definitely to
determine the type, but thac the COM
mission will earnestly take up the sub
ject and make recommendations. From

the duodecimal instead of the decimal
scale"
II Khorawazimi had not stopped at
the "ten place" In the numerical scale
his name would be called blessed
by all the great modern mathemati-
clans But he did stop and now his
successors as mathematical authors
all Of whom regret and bemoan the
untimely halt that he made-are striv-
ing with all their might to create a
public sentiment that will cause the
universal adoption and Inauguration
Of the great reform that he overlooked
the substitution Of the duodecimal
for the decimal system.
What success the scholars are to
have in their crusade for "the duodeci-
NAL" in arithmetic Is problematical
For centuries the duodecimal has been
known in algebra and the higher math-
ematics, but what the great mathema-
ticians want is the Introduction Of the
system into the arithmetics OF the
schools and into shops, the counting
house and all the commercial and trad
ing institutions Of the people. In any
gathering Of mathematical teachers
may be found strong sentiment for
the popular displacement Of the deci-
NAL by the duodecimal system.
Deep-rooted though the decimal sys-
TEN is in the practical life of the peo-
pie. the duodecimalists are not dis
outraged. They believe they see an
awakening. No less than five Of the
most eminent mathematicians in the
land who came together by chance the
other day at the University Of Chi
cago expressed themselves as satisfied
that the time is approaching when the
public interests will become so enor-
nous that the duodecimal system will
not only be conceded as superior to the
cumbersome decimal system, but will
become an actual public necessity

WOLvERTON NAMED.
President Appoints Him Federal Judge
for Oregon.

Washington, Nov. %. - Judge
Charles +. Wolverton, of Albany, now
sitting on the Oregon Supreme bench,
was yesterday appointed United States
District judge for Oregon to fill the
vacancy caused by the death OF Judge
Bellinger and the subsequent declna-
tion OF w. w. Cotton, to whom the
Office was rendered. Judge Wolverton's 8
commission, after being signed by the
president and attorney general, was
forwarded to him yesterday, and it is
presumed that he will, upon its re-
ceipt, promptly take the oath and en-
ter upon his new duties at Portland.
His appointment, coming at this time,
will require reappointment when con-
gress convenes, and his nomination
will be sent to the senate the first week
of the session, but this will not inter
ere with his duties. He will be con-
frmed.
Judge Wolverton owes this appoint
ment very largely to President Roose-
velt. While he was strongly indorsed
by Circuit Judge Gilbert and by prom
inent members OF the Oregon bar, and
while he was on Senator Fulton's list,
and was highly regarded by Attorney
General Moody, his Endorsement was
no stronger than those of several other
candidates.
The appointment of Wolverton was
fastened by request recently made by
District Attorney Heney. Mr.. Heney
will return to Portland very soon, and
is anxious to resume and conclude the
land trials. He found that no other
district judge was available for service
at Portland at this time, it being i'm
possible for Judge Hunt or Judge De
Haven to leave his court in the imme-
diate future. On tins suggestion the
attorney general took the matter up
with the president, who then hastened
the appointment.

Saws Castro is ONLY BIuffing

Paris, Nov. 24.-Inquiry at the For

ment that the report that France ac-
cedes to President Castro's request to
indicate what portions of the Venezuel-
an note to Mr.. Taigny, the French
charge d 'affaires, are offensive, is in
correct. The officials say the president
has heretofore been completely inform
ed regarding the offensive features of
the note and therefore the report that
France will give further explanations is
as "a bluff intended to
delay and confuse the situation"

HITCHCOCK IS
YET UNWILLING
Gives Conditional PrOmire to Approve
UmatiIIa Plan.
Did Not Know Half of Klamath Pro-
iect Was in California Until Told
by Fulton-Had Charged Oregon
With Entire Cost, Leaving Small
Balance to Her Credit.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Full
ton had conference with Secretary
Hitchcock today on Oregon irrigation
matters He was advised, as previous
ly stated in these dispatches, that the
secretary will not think of building the
Malheur project under existing condi-
tions, but was surprised to find the sec
retary unwilling to make any allotment
for the Umatilla project. After some
argument, the senator obtained con-
ditional promise from the secretary
which, if fulfilled, will mean early
adoption and construction of the Una
tilla project.
At the outset the secretary stated
that he had already allotted $2,000,-
900, to the Klamath project, which he
had charged up to Oregon. This
amount is within $465 900 of Oregon's 8
restricted fund.- in other words, is
within that amount of 81 per cent of
Oregon's contribution to the reclama-
tion fund. The secretary, under the
law, is obliged to expend this 81 per
cent in Oregon, but he clearly showed
to the senator that he is unwilling to
give Oregon more than its 81 per cent.
The senator told the secretary that tho
Klamath is not entirely an Oregon pro-
ject. He pointed out that about half
the land under that project lies in CAL
ifornia, and further stated that kla-
math trade, after the project is built,
will 90 largely to California. He there
fore insists that it is unjust to build
the Kalamath project entirely with
Oregon funds, and demands that the
$4,000, 900 allotment should be divided
and at least half of it charged to Cali
fornia. If this is done, the secretary
will have 81 800, 900 for immediate ex-
penditure in Oregon, and only 81 ,0OO,-
900 is asked for the TTmatilla project.
The secretary said he did not know
that the Klamath project included Cal
ifornia as we'll as Oregon land. He
had supposed it was entirely an Oregon
project. He added that he could not
allot 81 900, 900 for the Umatilla pro-
iect unless it could be shown that the
whole Klamath tract is not in Oregon.
This, of course, is easy of demonstra-
tion, and Mr.. Fulton will tomorrow OBJ
tain from the Reclamation service maps
and letters showing the interstate char
acter of the Klamath project. Backed
up by these papers, he will reopen the
case with Mr.. Hitchcock, and is hope
full that the Umatlila project may then
be authorized. No mention was made
today of any engineering or other flaws
in the Umatilla project, and it is as
sumed that nothing prevents its con-
struction save ''lack of funds" the
original excuse, which has subsequent
ly been denied.
