PHILIPPINE FORTIFICATIONS.
Divergence Of Views on Joint Army
and Navy Board.

The joint army and navy board. which
IS now considering Philippine fortitica-
tons, has divided itself into as many
committees of one as there are mem
bers, and individual reports will be pre-
scented at an early date on the question of
whether the naval base shall be estab-
lished at Subig Bay or Manila harbor. By
an exchange of these IDEAS which are to
include drafts of plans for fortifications
the JOINT board expects to reach a decision
so that a final report can be made to
President Roosevelt before Congress con-
venes.
Regardless OF the decision as to the loca-
ton of the Philippine naval base. it has
been settled that Sub!g Bay Shall be
fortified at the entrance. 1t Is regarded
such a fine harbor that it is to the ad-
vantage of the government to protect
1t. The money already spent there on for
tifioations has not been wasted, therefore,
even If ultimately it should be decided to
establish the naval base at Manila harbor.
Members of the board believe that several
meetings must be held yet before a sat
isfactory conclusion of the controversy
between .he War and Navy Departments
is reached.

LAYS FUEL FAMINE

Representative Marshal Says NORTH
Dakota Has Money to Buy Coal,
but the Railways Won't
Haul 1t
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Represen-
tative Marshal of North Dakota, in an
interview tonight, declared that while
there is a shortage of fuel at some
points in North Dakota and danger of
shortage at other points growing
primarily on the so-called shortage and
unusual snow storms, financial assis-
tance Is not needed.
THE shortage in cars" he said, grew
largely out of the enormous crops
raised through the state and through
the expansion of this business far be-
yond all ordinary limits, which liter
ally swamped the railroads not only
with products going out of the state
but also with merchandise and ma
terials coming in.
I'm an attempt to handle this tre-
mendous volume of traffic the railway
companies were grossly negligent with
relation to the fuel supply, so our great
financial prosperity is the real cause
of our temporarily embarrassed condi-
ton 1t is not financial shortage, but
a railroad shortage which embarrasses
the people of the state at this time"

FORMER COAST RABBI
SAYS MINISTER'S ARE
"LACKEYS OF THE RICH"
by Associated press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Thc
movement TO establish what will
be known as free synagogue
was formally launched today at
a meeting in the Hudson theater,
at which the founder, Rabbi S.
5. Wise, formerly of Portland,
Ore, delivered the first of series
of addresses.
He referred to his call to oc-
cupy the pulpit Of a New York
synagogue, which was not ac-
ceptable, he said, because certain
restrictions were put on him. DR.
Wise declared that the suspicion
that the ministry of both the
Christian and Jewish religion was
controlled and owned by the rich
and that the ministers thereof
were mere "lackeys of the
wealthy" was partially at least
borne out by the conduct of the
ministers themselves.
"The average minister, he de-
clared, "is tolerated social ne
cessity, who prefers peace and
servility to strife and freedom"

H|CHWAyMAN USES
MODERN METHODS
Pursues Intended Victim on Motor
Cycle and Asks Him to Have
Ride, Then Hides Behind
Tree

Robbery after the latest business
methods is now being practiced in Los
Angeles, according to a report made to
the police yesterday by H. M. Babcock,
telegraph operator living at Fifteenth
street and Maple avenue, and members
of the detective department are now
engaged in running down clews. and
they expect they will nip a we'll planned
scheme in the bud.
According to Mr.. Babcock. who
works until 3 O'Clock in the morning
and then walks home, he was accosted
In peculiar manner yesterday morn
mig and it was only by using his wits
that holdup was prevented.
81 was walking south on Maple ave-
nue. near NINTH" said Mr.. Babcock yes
terday, when I heard the noise of a
motorcycle behind me. I turned and
looked and saw one of those cycles with
chair attached to the front.
AS the rider passed me he slowed
up and swung over to the curb. When
| reached him he called out and asked
If l wanted a ride. I told him l did
not, but ne informed me If I was going
far he would take me to my home. l
told him / lived but a few blocks and
hurried away. He made some reply to
my last remark 1 did not understand
and then turned on the power and sped
up the street.
II walked on thinking of the strange
invitation / had received and at last
stepped to the edge of the sidewalk to
see If | could see the rider. What was
my surprise TO see the machine stand
ing by the curb and the shadow of the
man who had been riding 1t reflected on
the pavement from where he was
standing behind a tree, then knew
he was awaiting me and made haste to
turn through a yard and hurry to an
other street, thence going to my home.
81 can easily see what a 'cinch' 1t
would have been for the man had l got
in the seat of the cycle. He could have
hit me on the head with sand bag or
shot me as l sat in front of him. AS
he failed in getting my consent to ride
it is probable he thought he would wait
behind tree and lay me out when l
passed. / have not heard OF any hold
ups of this nature around Los Angeles,
and II Is possible this was the mans
first attempt. If SO l think those who
are out nights should be warned to look
out for him."

The day which the public in general
and loyal Democrats in particular have
been looking forward to with the great
est interest has arrived.
Today Hon. William Jennings Bryan.
accompanied by his wife, will arrive in
Los Angeles, and for three days the
Angel city will have the honor of hav-

known as the leading private citizen of
the world.
Mr.. Bryans coming has been her
aided throughout Southern California,
and many residents of surrounding
| cities and towns have signified their
intention of coming to Los Angeles to
participate in one or more of the sew
eral functions which have been ar
ranged in honor of the distinguished
guest.
Some are coming to meet and greet
Mr.. Bryan as man among men,
while others have a desire to see and
hear the greatest champion of their
political faith, and who, it is their
confident expectation, will be the next
occupant of the presidents chair.

making his long-expected visit to Los
Angeles, bringing with him his wife,
who had many times expressed a de-

visitor will be the central figure, in
order that Mr.. Bryan may be made to
realize the esteem in which he is held
as an American citizen and as the ac-
knoWledged leader of the Democratic
party.
The first of these events will be the
lecture to be delivered tonight by Mr..
Bryan at Simpson auditorium. This
lecture is for the benefit of the Lark
Ellen home for newsboys, and it is the
event which primarily brings Mr.. Bryan
to Los Angeles. owing to the fact
that the proceeds will go into the treas

French Press United in Regarding
German Endorsement of Policy
of Imperialism as Euro

PARIS, Jan. Accommodating on the
result of the German elections from an
International standpoint practically the
entire French press united in regarding
1t as distinct Endorsement of German
Imperialism and therefore of the high
est Importance and disquieting espec-
tally to Great Britain and France.
The Figaro alone combats this view,
being of the opinion that the desertion
of the socialists in favor of the liberal
party would not have been possible if
the latter had not recently clearly
manifested a desire for a less personal
form of governments consideration
with which the government must
reckon hereafter
The advanced socialist organs are
unable to conceal their grief at the set
back given to the international move
ment.
The Echo de Paris says Germany re-
Jected socialism because she felt 1t led
too straight to internationalism and
anarchy and because II was source of
weakness and national peril.
