Wants Authority.

The president today sent message
to congress urging legislation giving
the executive authority upon his own
initiative and responsibility to dismiss
any officer whom he believes to be un-
worthy to remain in the service. The
law at present provides that in time
of peace no officer shall be dismissed
except in pursuance of court martial
or in mitigation thereof. This proyls-
ion the president wants repealed.
In illustrating the necessity for the
legislation desired, the president cites
the case Of naval officer whose name
is not given, but who was accused Of
"indecent and disgusting behavior. y
He was convicted, but the court to his
surprise, the president says, did not
aentence him to dismissal.

May Defy Labor.

There is a disposition among the
House leaders to throw down tho
gauntlet to Mr.. Gompers, president or
the American Federation of Labor,
and the programme which is being Sc
riously discussed is to report unfa-
vorably from the Committee ON judi
ciary every labor measure but the
Gilbert injunction bill, and to report
that favorably. The Gilbert bill, which
is well known, will, with few amend
ments, be in accord with the Presl-
dents views, and will doubtless be
carried through as an administration
measure.
The Speaker and other leaders OF
the House are delighted with the man
ner in which the president handled
labor and the subject of inJunctlons
in his message, and they believe that
to follow up his recommendations II
a fearless way, to report, discuss and
reject all of the radical labor bills,
and then to pass the Gilbert bill, with
such amendments as are necessary to
bring it in entire accord with the
president IS views, will prove by far
the wisest method of dealing with this
troublesome question.
The members of the Judiciary
Committee are known to be in perfect
harmony with the House leaders, and
there is ample reason to believe that
the Senate will accept the measure
approved by the President and passed
by the House, when it is believed that
to vote for this measure and against
all others will work no possible lnJu-
rv to members of the House.

The California members of Con
gress have received what they consider
sufficient assurances that the presl-
dent did not desire to be understood
as saying in the japanese section OF
his message that he would use the
military force of the United States
in forcing japanese into the Calltor-
MIA schools in which white children are
Taught.
1t is said to have been the presl-
dents purpose to convey the idea that
he would use the military to protect

Californians take no offense at this IN

Flood Situation.
Ell Paso, Tex.-A special to The Her
aid from Clifton, A. 7. the first authen
tic news out of the town since the
flood prostrated all the wires, is as
follows:
The river is receding rapidly and
the weather has cleared, hence no fur
ther damage is apprehended. Two bod
les were recovered from the wreck
along Chase Creek, but the number OF
deaths cannot be told. Joe Throm, who
was rescued from the flood, and whose
wife was lost, was taken to the hos
pital in a serious condition, but will
probably recover. Thre men were
caught in the act of looting, and when
they refused to surrender to the of
fcers were shot and fatally wounded
The flood in Chase Greek was caused
by the breaking Of the dam of the De
troit Copper Company, releasing
vast amount of water which ran down
the creek with seven foot breast.
/ Only business house on Chase Greek
escaped damage and many were en-
tirely destroyed. North Clifton was
badly wrecked Ne rly all of the res
licences in that section were destroyed
or damaged.
The Coronado Railroad suffered
damage all the way from Clifton ia
Metcalf, and it will be several weeks
before the trains can pass over Its
lines. So many restaurants and hotels
have been destroyed that it is almost
impossible to find place to eat ol
sleep in the town, but there will be
no shortage Of provisions as many
stores escaped the flood.
The railroad bridges are so badly
damaged that it will be impossible td
cross for some time.
Tie Herald building was swept
away and The Era has been put out
of business for several weeks, its build
ing having been flooded to depth OF
six feet and the plant greatly dam
aged.
