MR. TAFT CALLS OFF
 NEW YORK SUPPORTERS
He Urges That No Campaign Be Con- ducted There in Opposition to Gov ernor Hughes.

Washington. Jan. 23.-Secretary Taft is carrying out the policy in News York that he has directed his manag- CTS to follow in other states where there are candidates for the republican nomination for the presidency In a letter to Representative Herbert Par sons. chairman of the republican coun- ty committee in New York. the secre tary makes it clear that he does not want his friends to prosecute the cam paign as against Hughes.
 The letter, which was made public tonight, follows: My Dear Parsons: I am aware that you and many other friends in New York state, who are also friends of Governor Hughes. have hesitated as to the course to pursue in respect to the republican nomina- tion for presidency. l wish you and them to know that as far as I am concerned there should be no embar- rassment in this regard. l uniformly urge friends of mine not to attempt to divide in my interest a delegation from any state which has a candidate of it1 own.
 Since Governor Hughes has indi- cated a willingness to accept the nom ination, I now make the same request of you and other friends in the state. Moreover I would greatly deprecate a contest which might imperil repub- lican victory in New York in Novem- Der Anything I can do to avoid this l am axious to dO.'

The Overturning of the Government of
 Hdyti Only an Incident
The Conspiracy Discovered by Secret Service Men In New York Believed to Have contemplated d Cuban Rebellion

Washington. Jan. 23.-Startling de- velopments in tEe plot to overthrow the government of President Nord in Hayti, have followed the investigations of the secret service agents in New York in connection with the arrest of Jose NJ. c. Giordani. on a charge of .counterfeiting Haytien money The officers sa-' that thez- have ascertain ed that the prisoner was the agent of a formidable conspiracy whose oper- ations probably would extend beyond the limits Of Hayti into Santo Domin- go ard even Cuba would have been the scene O: a revolution if the upris- ing in Hayti had been a success, and the agent in New York had remained unmOlested. It was found, among other things officials declare. that certain persons in Hayti, mostly FrenChmen and Corsicans. were active agents Of the alleged conspiracy and were designated in the papers found among Giordanfs effects by numbers The officers were able to connect the numbers with the proper persons and the first result was to fix upon Chas. Miot, American consular agent at St. Marie. as one O. the persons to whom a number applied. Upon learning this last evening. the state department i'm mediately cabled American Minister Furness ct Port An Prince, to dismiss the agent at once from the employ of the United States. This action was taken because the department feels that it must keep. itself absolutely free from an appearance of sympathy with the rebellious movements of it's Latin American department agents
 Chief Wukie Of the secret service. made a statement today giving the facts and circumstances connected with the arrest of GiOrdani. which go to show that at the time of his arrest he had in his possession counterfeit Haytien paper to a face value of sS0O,- 900; 20Oo Remington rifles and 23O.0OO rounds of ammunition, all of which was intended for the Haytien revolu- tionists S.x or seven, months ago, when this government was advised by Provisional Governor MagOOn of Cuba that a small party of malcOntents were

mentation, etc, the plat required would be at least three ordinary city lots and four would be even better if later en- Engagements were to be considered.
 Viewed as a business proposition from the governments standpoint the investment would seem to be an invit- ing one. The government generally requires the demonstration of an in- Vestment of at least two per cent on the money. There is little doubt but that in the case of Phoenix the return would be per cent or more. The government is now paying approx imately $6.000 in rentals for the vari- Ous offices, probably little more than that. and that would be nearly per cent on an investment of Sl60.000, for which sum 1t is believed a pretty good building could be erected. The terri tOrial capital for instance, cost only $130, ,00O and is erected of more expen- sive material probably than would be utilized In a government office build ing. though it is hardly expected that the government, or any body else. will again put up as good a building as the capital for so little money.
 When one stops to think about it there is a lot of government business transacted in this town, in the follow ing offices: post office, land office, surveyor generals office, reclamation service, federal court, U. s. marshaPs office, Weather bureau service, civil service, and various branches auxiliary to the post office.

trying to stir up a revolution in Cuba it was discovered that Giordani was connected with them. At that time it developed that he had represented General Firman during the Haytien uprising in 1902, Firman then. as now. being at the head of the revolution ary party. About that time. Giordani cama to New York. and ever since the secret service officials have had him under close surveillance. It was not long before they discovered that Giordani had stored in a Brooklyn warehouse. sixteen cases containing 2OO0 Remington rifles in fine condi- tiOn. A close watch was kept on the cases and on January 4. by GiOrdani's Orders.-they were hauled tO the Ham burg-American steamship pier whence the steamer Grac;a was to sail on Jan s for Ha.tien and other West Indian ports. The cases were marked "struc- tural iron" and the fictitious name Of c. Meram C. CO. was given as con signee. GOnaives. Hayti. was given as the destination but the shippers name was withheld.
 There were subsequently added to the consignment twenty three barrels marked cement" The steamship company was notified by the officials, not to receive the cases and barrels. Upon learning of this action. GiOrdani had them hauled to another ware house. By that time the secret service agents had secured sufficient evidence to warrant them iR opening all in the shipment. The barrels and boxes were found to contain Remington rifles. ammunition and SSO0OO0 in counter felt Haytien currency. The arrest Of Giordani followed and in his rooms were found a large number of letters from General Firman and other revo- lutionists in Hayti and elsewhere

large deficit unless the estimates fos the next fiscal year were cut down materially.
 Mir. Tawney's warning was seized upon by MT. Underwood of Alabama as a text for lengthy discussion of the recent financial depression. He maintained that there were no natural or extraordinary conditions that pro duced the depression; that it was not the act of God; it was not because fire, pestilence. famine, crop failure or dearth of money, but because of lack of confidence. It therefore had been demonstrated. he said, that so far as the republican party was working for the prosperity of the country. it had dissolved partnership with God. be cause all that the Almighty has pro duced in this country has been lav- ished beautifully upon it. only the republican party has failed in its part of the partnership"
 The method of making appropria- tions was criticised by Mir. Keller of Ohio, who said that it was business like. He favored increased fortifica- tions and said if, for instance, Pearl Harbor and perhaps Manila Were properly fortified, we woul1 not be talking so much or hearing so much about foreign war. We would not have had to incur millions of expense in sending the fleet around the Horn in order that We may show that We have some spirit left for war if war should come" The consideration of the bill vas not concluded when the house adjourned.
 Mir. Tawney said the estimates would have to be materially revised and the figures reduced. Mir. Taw- ney made it plain that there would be no new appropriation this session for rivers and haroors or public buildings. for, he said, his calculations did not include these.

The CauStiC Memorandum of the Admiral
 On the Subject of Commands,
Mr. Tawney Again Recommends the Practice of EcOn- Omy--The Senate Considers In General Way the Late Financial Depression.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The speaker laid before the house today the re- sponse of the secretary of the navy to the resolutions calling for the cores pondence relative to the designation of staff officers to\ naval commands.
 The correspondence includes Admir- al BrownsOn's letter of resignation and two letters of the president, condemn ing the course he pursued. There was a mass of historical matter showing the naval practice in the matter of hospital ship commands, and including the orders issued in the navy depart ment by Secretary Bonaparte, with cOpiOus endorsements by bureau off cers, all bearing on the question. An interesting paper is an endorsement by Admiral Converse. then chief of the navigation bureau, delivered upon a proposition originating with the joint board of medical officers of the army and navy to place hospital ships in the command of naval surgeons. Ad- miral Converse recommended against placing hospital ships in commission in time Of peace and also against the placing of medical officers in command
 
 memorandum prepared by Admiral Brownson dated Nov. l9. 1907. there by anticipating his resignation by nearly a month, the admiral holds that whether a hospital ship or not. such vessels as the Relief, must accompany a fleet to fulfill its purpose, and to do sO must be navigated and handled in the same seamanlike manner which is required of all vessels to assure their safety on the high seas.
 Yet the surgeon general" says BrownsOn. "seems to believe that the navigation. safe conduct and general administration Of sea-going vessel are secondary as regards responsibil- ity. to the command. Telegraph oper- ators or cable engineers are not put in command of cable ships. nor the post master in command of mail steamer"
 The surgeon general states that the neutrality of a hospital ship demands that line officers and fighting crews should not be put aboard. He cites the army transport service commanded by civilians. as notably efficient in administration.

half months placed $47,000, 900 in the banks of New York, in order that they might loan it out. and St. Louis bank CTS had told him that while their money was out of their reach in New York banks. they had gone to that city and bought currency, paying one half to two per cent.
 Three per cent was paid" declared Senator Teller. MT. Teller upon the conclusion of Mir. Stones speech said he believed the recent financial trou- ble resulted from the banking system of the country and that it had not grown out of the administration of the law. Tt is possible" he said that the treasury department did not dis tribute the money in the proportion to banking capital. but there was one storm center of the whole trouble We did not need any money In the west"
 Tt is my judgment" the Colorado senator declared. that the secretary could pot have served the country better than by putting the money in New York. There were twelve or fifteen trust Companies there in a condition to go to the wall. If they had failed there would have been a failure of banks practically all over the country.
 This is an age of criticism of peo- pie who have money. They have been charged with having brought on the panic. Some of the rich men of the country who have been paraded in the magazines as people inordinately rich, put up practically the entire capital to tide over the possible panic. One man put up $1O.OOO.OOO. Some of these rich men could have made a great deal of money by letting the banks fail

His speech was on his resolution directing a committee to investigate and report on these transactions.

Hope is again revived that Phoenix may some day have a public building, and surely there is no place where a structure would be a better investment for the national government than in Phoenix. A year or two ago. Post master McClintock at the request of Washington officials, and during the consideration of a bill introduced by Delegate Wilson. prepared a statement which was transmitted, showing the needs of the government offices in this city. Nothing came of the efforts at that time but few days ago Colonel McClintock- received a letter from the supervising architect of the treasury department, referring back to his orig inal data and requesting him to bring It up to date.
 This. fact looked encouraging and the request was complied with, the data being forwarded at once. The Republican hearing of this incident wired it's correspondent in Washing ton concerning the introduction of any bill Of that nature, with the above re- suit.
 The data forwarded by Colonel Me Clintock shows that the necessities of the various government offices located in this city will require for their ac- commodation building of al least two stories and a basement or three stories, 80 feet wide by 120 feet long. That means for the present necessities. and several of the offices, as for in stance the post office, will surely need much more room as the years go by As the government requires in the erection of all its buildings, an area 40 feet wide around the building, for the purposes of fire protection, orna-
