NEWBERRY MAY Be
HIS SUCCESSOR
President viii Probably Ask Con-
greSS at Next Session to Create
New Position to Be Known
as Secretary of
Transportation.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 13-The
rumor that Secretary of the Navy
Metcalfe is to retire from the cabinet
is current again and is significant
owing to the fact that Mr.. Metcalfe
will shortly arrive here after an ex-
tended visit to the Pacific coast The
Metcalfe retirement rumor springs
up again and again, and this time
1t comes from a higher source in the
navy deparement
II is understood that Assistant Sec
retary Newberry is slated for the Of
flee. He has cabinet aspirations and
is a personal friend Of the president.
His aspirations add strength to the
report that Mr.. Metcalfe will shortly
retire, as it is known that President
Roosevelt seeks to advance Mr.. New
berry.
Coupled with the Metcalfe report
is one that the president contem-
plates asking congress to create a new
cabinet official, one u be known as
secretary of transportation, and who
will exercise control of the interstate
commerce commission. The work Of
the commission is advancing to such
an extent that it is believed the presi-
dent desires an adviser who VIII be
in constant lou"h with him on all
matters relating to railroads and
transportation in general.
Mctcalfc Successful.
lHe navy department., uuuef lne
control of Secretary Metcalfe, has
been conducted according to the
presidents IDEAS and it is not due
to dissatisfa that Metcalfe may
quit, according TO his closest friends.
He has done everything in his power
to build up the department and to
make the navy the worlds most
powerful peace maker.
Planned Big Cruise,
Metcalfa was the head Of the
plans for the big cruise which the
navy is now about to undertake. His
first intimation to the president met
with the executives hearty approval,
and Roosevelt Immediately added to
the idea until the cruise about to
be undertaken from the Atlantic to
the Pacific by the great fleet was
fully worked out.

President Roosevelt believes I'M

possible, and TO- work out his ideas

JAPANESE LEAD IN

Angered Over Refusal to Permit

Affairs Into Their

vancouver, Is. T., sept. 13.-The
situation growing out of the anti
Oriental riots has been suddenly in
tensified by the remarkable resolu-
ton displayed by the Japanese and
Chinese and their genius for organ
ization. The industrial strike they
nave suddenly organized threatens
to tie up British Columb bia complete
ly. 1t is growing in popularity
among the Orientals hourly and
many vessels are now unable to
leave British Columbia ports be-
cause their entire Oriental contin-
gent has deserted.
The Japanese seem to be the NOV
ing spirits of the great organization
and into it has been cast the for
tunes of all the secret societies. The
Hindus do not appear capable of CO.
operation with the other two races,
but they appear to fear the energetic
action of the others.
MongoIlansl Armed.
The Mongolians have secured
large number of guns and revolvers
and a big supply of ammunition. AS
rule these types of immigrants do
not know the use of firearms, but
many japanese recently brought
over are veterans of the Chinese and
Russian wars and are proud of their
skill in handling modern firearms as
Well as their discipline,

here recently, today repeated in the
presence of witnesses, his first con-
fession and affirmed its truthfulness.
His companion was proven not guilty
and released.
Leroy was employed by the Santa
Fe as mail carrier, a position he had
held for some time. Postmaster Hill
recently cautioned him to watch the
mail closely as a number of robberies
had taken place in various cities.

Leroy. The prisoner stated that he

He kept the contents of two letters,

ing drafts. In the depot furnace. He
threw the pouch away. Another
pouch which he stole did not contain
valuable mail so he hid it in the
weeds near the station.

Leroy destroyed the letters and
drafts out of the first pouch because
he did not know their value. He
admitted that he thought them
worthless, and knew, in any event,
that he would run considerable risk

AS a rule the young woman clerk
in Albuquerque receives in wages less
than $40 a week; woman bookkeep-
ers seldom receive more than $50 a
month and there are a few stenogra-
piers who receive as much as $75 a
month. In speaking to a dozen young

addition to what they earn.
1t is the popular opinion that the
working girl is more given to saving
than the working man, but the Cii-
Zen's Investigations far as they
have proceeded-do not bear out this
theory. 1t is hardly to be inferred
that the working women of Albu-
querque are more eXtravagant than
those of other cities-then why do
they not save money? In the first
place many of them are not actually
compelled to work, but prefer to do
so in order to dress in style and have
plenty of spending money; and in the
second place it is very expensive

FIND CORPSE
FAST IN DAM

1t isn't every workman who can
keep his balance upon a plank over
a dam, with a skull looking up from
the water directly underneath him.
Workmen yesterday afternoon,
however, while engaging renewing
the planking at the dam near the
Great Northern bridge, did this.
The remains were of an unknown
man, with face and arms decom-
posed.
Coroner Witter and the police
were notified. A large crowd of
morbid ones gathered to witness
the horrible sight. On the coroner's
arrival the body was sent to the
undertaking rooms of Buchanan &
Co. Here the clothing was searched
for Identification. Only q 50-cent
piece was found. There were no
marks or papers or anything by
which the remains could be identi-
fed. The body had evidently been
in the water some months. But for
repair work on the dam it's pres
ence would never have been sus-
pected.

1t is a foregone conclusion that
the city council tonight will try to

fair will be conducted as in the past
with pool selling. bunco shooting
galleries and muscle-dancers.
Manager Robert H. Cosgrove is
especially busy today. He has seen
each councilman in person and has
remarked to several Of those who
want pooling selling that he has
pledges from enough councilmen to
pass the repeal, besides the guaran-
tee that should it pass Acting May
or Pratt will sign it. Pratt all along
has favored the repeal

STILL UNFAIR

representatives of the Electrical
Workers union to the central La
Dor union made another effort last
night to have the w. w. p. Co.
placed on the fair list Their re-
quest, however, was refused and it
is unlikely that another attempt
will be made to reinstate the local
monopoly in the good graces of the
wOrkingmen of this city.
The Electrical workers were rep
resented by Fred M. Allen and Ed
Thomas. They stated that the set
Element made by their union was
made by their international officers
and was due to the large number of
members Of their craft now idle on
the coast. They also raised objec-
ton to any publicity being given
to the fact that they were asking
to have the power monopoly placed
on the fair list and took shot at
the inoffensive secretary Of the
Central body, claiming he was re-
sponsible for the leak.
After a discussion which lasted
to a late hour last night the Cen
trail body again went on record as
being opposed to granting any moro
concessions to the w. w. P. Co. I'M
til a settlement is effected with
other unions having grievances
against the company.
A talk today with members of
the Electrical Workers who are
linemen demonstrated that many of
the rank and file of the union are
satisfied to have the company re-
main on the unfair list. They now
admit that the union has been hand.
ed large and juicy lemon by some
of their own membership in whom
they had placed implicit confidence
Four linemen who made applica.
ton to the company for employ
ment this morning were asked to
go to work for less than the scale
adopted by the union and agreed to
by the Traction Co. Two others
who applied for work recently kere
asked II they had membership in
the union and when they answered
in the affirmative were told they
were not wanted. The manner in
which the men were turned down
by the company during the last few
days has opened their eyes to the
fact that they might just as well
have stood pat in the first place,
and a number are now blaming
their leaders for having induced
them TO weaken in their fight.
The Electrical Workers asked
that an unfair notice published in
the Labor World against the w. w.
p. Co. on behalf of the Electrical
Workers be removed. The Central
body agreed to substitute the name
of the Garments union for the Elec-
trical Workers, but maintains the
notice.

The park commissioners said that
the refugees might have the use OF
the parks and squares for one year

from the first, the relief committee

as there are practically no mes
sages coming. The same condition
prevails at the Postal Offices.
The companies are advertising
for operators, but there is little
possibility Of securing men compe-
tent to handle the business, as the
union now includes all the first
class men in the country and the
majority of second rate operators.
The local grievance is a demand
for equal rating with Portland,
Helena and other cities Of the west,
which would mean an increase OF

have to do an equal amount Of
work.
The press operators demand $50

cents for overtime and both ask
