with Marines.


San Francisco March 13.-When Ad-
miral Evans feet drops anchor in San
Francisco Bay. the entire length Of East
street viii be policed with marines.
Thus the crews win be spared the usual
RECEPTION by the local bluecoats. already
indicated in the much discussed episode
at the policemen's ball, where weu-be-
haved sailors from several cruisers were
treated with such discourtesy that they
were compelled to leave the hall.
The marines viii act as guides 10 the
visiting seamen. directing them TO differ
ent points IN the city and steering them
TO the boat landings The idea came from
Harbor Commissioner Stafford. at a con-
ference with Admiral Glass and Capt
Perkins.
A new arrangement has been decided
on for the anchorage Of the fleet. which
was TO have extended in a thin crescent
through the miles from Mission Rock 70
/ Hunters Point. Instead of this, the yes
sels will swing eight abreast in Man-of-
wars Row, covering a space over which
the Southern Pacific Railroad surrender
ed the right Of way Of its freight ferries.
Already almost every available craft in
the harbor has been chartered for ex-
cursiOn purposes.

NO BRYAN DELEGATES.
New Jersey Democrats Decline to
Instruct for Nebraskan.

Montclair. N J., March 13.-This reso-
luton was unanimously adopted last
night by the principal Democratic club OF
this town:
The Montclair Democratic Club firmly
believing that a large majority of the
people of this country favor a speedy
return to constitutional methods and
principles Of government, congratulate
the party and the country on the fact
that there is to-day a strong, able. and
patriotic Democracy united in devotion to
constitutional government. and in abhor-
renee OF autocracy and socialism en-
bodied in the present national admins
tration.
1T rejoices that within the Democratic
party there are many men of tried excel
lence and high craftsmanship who have
earned and enjoy the care Of their fellow
citizens, and who are capable Of admins
tering with high ability, with wisdom, and
justice the Office OF President of the
United States.
We pledge our support to the candi-
date nominated by the Democratic ma
tiOnal convention. We believe that the
delegates TO the Democratic national con-
yentiOn TO meet in Denver should. after
then and there benefiting by council and
proper deliberation, nominate for the
Presidency a candidate of such undis-
puted fitness for the office as to insure
for him the enthusiastic support of all
believers in the principles of constitu-
tional Democracy.
so believing. we record our opinion
that the best interests of the party and
the highest patriotism alike require Thai
the delegates from this State shall take
their places in the councils of the con-
venrion open-minded and uncommitted to
the candidacy of any person"

TAFT INvADES ILLINOIS.
"FHvOrite SON. Agreement Broken In
Speaker CannOn's Case.


Chicago, March 13.-The 'gentleman's
agreement" among Presidential candi-
dates to keep out of 'favorite son" States
is off, so FAR as Illinois is concerned. and
open warfare on the Cannon forces in
this State was declared to-day by Taft
boomers.
Arthur I. Vorys. of Columbus, Ohio,
campaign manager of the Secretary Of
War, has virtually approved the plan. to
so after Cannon in Illinois.
Il has been decided by the local Taft
supporters that tha way 20 beat Mr.. Can
non is 10 spE the Illinois delegation
They are Of the opinion that the National
Speaker will be forced out OF the race. II
he is unable TO line up solid home State
delegation. The pretense of being for
Cannon on the first ballot as a "favorite
son" was dTOpped to-day and from now
on the slogan of the Taft people will be
Taft on the first ballot"
The decision to go after Taft delegates
in Illinois and burn all bridges followed
the return from Columbus. Ohio. to-day
Of James Z. MacAIUrray. president of the
Chicago Taft Club. Mr.. MacMurray held
a long conference with Vorys. in Colum-
bus. and represented to him that Taft
delegates could be taken out of the Can
non column in Illinois If the War Secre-
tary's forces ignored the 'favorite son"
programme and made an open bid for
delegates. Mr.. VOrys' comments were Of
diplomatic nature. and from all that can
be learned Of the conference, he did not
go so far as 10 put himself in a position
where he cannot deny that he approved
the Illinois programme
Mr.. VOrys' approval was of a negative
character; that is ne did not say that
Mr.. Taft's Illinois friends should not
fight Mr.. Cannon. What he did say was
that Mr.. Taft and his friends did not
propose 70 infiict any terrible punishment
on his supportersein Illinois If they went
out 'on their own hook" and brought
in bag of delegates.

W. B. COCHRAN LOSES PLACES.
Member of Congress No Longer an
Official I'm Tammany

| New York, March 3-Representative
W. Bourke Cochran has been dropped
from the chairmanships he held on the
committees of the Tammany organiza-
ton.
He was practically ousted from all
standing in the organization at a meet
ing held last Tuesday night Of the gen
eral committee, when the makeup of
the standing committees for the next
year were announced
Mr.. Cochran was until last Tuesday
chairman Of the committee Of legislation
and chairman Of the committee on speak
ers. He is succeeded by Leeds Nixon as
chairman of the committee on legislation
and by John ]. Delaney as the chairman
OF the committee on speakers Mr..
Cochran also loses his place on the law
committee and resolutions committee.
1t was not until to-day that the fact
that Mr.. Cochran had been virtually
thrown out Of the organization became
known.
The elimination OF Mr.. Cochran from
the committee means that the break
which occurred between him and Charles
F. Murphy last November has not been
bridged over. and that it Will not be.
When Mr.. Cochran came back to Tam
many Hall after Richard Croker had
given UP the leadership and Mr.. Murphy
took control, Mr.. Cochran became one of
Murphy's foremost advisers, and it was
rarely that Mr.. Murphy took a step
without first consulting with Mr. Cochran:
but the friendship which had hitherto
existed between them was broken off
last November, when Mr.. Cochran, going
behind the back of Mr.. Murphy, induced
Supreme Court Justice Lester W. Clark.
of the Second judicial district. to appoint
his father-in-law, Gen. Henry C. Ide
one Of the receivers for the Knickerbocker
Trust Company.
Cochran is now grand sachem Of the
Tammany society, position given to
him by Mr. Murphy, but il was predicted
tonight by Tammany men that at the
next annual meeting Of the society
Cochran would be retired and II is GER
tain also that Mr.. Cochran will not be
reno minated for Congress this year.

for majority on first ballot. and profess
a confidence of victory. An anti-Taft

JOUR Reason for having a telephone is so people may reach you and
Y you may reach them quickly. It's just another way of saving time
and money. If you have a telephone on each desk or in every de-
partment, when you re called you don't need to rn all over your
. place of business to find the party wanted. You saw time and sat
- isy your customers. Remember trade follows the lines of least e.
sstance. If you are called out it pays to have a telephone on your desk.
