WILL THWART PRESIDENT
Congress Leaders Notify Him
of Laws That Will Not Pass

WASHINGTON. April 16.-The lead
ers of congress have not1ned the
president that several laws which he
desires to have enacted at this ses-
sion will not be put through. A re-
capitulation shows that when the ses-
sion ends congress will probably have
failed to pass many OF the most i'm
portant measures recommended by the
president. They are as follows:
Restricting the power of the federal courts in
the issuance of intunctions In laboring disputes;
amending the Sherman antitrust law so as to es-
tablfsh system of federal license for interstate
corporations; to enable the railroads TO form
traffic associations so to greater sta
bility of rates and returns; TO remove some Of
the restrictions from combinations and labor; to
prohibit the railroads from blacklisting union en-
ployes; empowering the interstate commerce
commission to control future issues of stocks and
bonds of railroad property; to permit the attor-
ney general TO name one of the receivers ap-
pointed for insolvent railroads.; to remove the
duty on wood pulp; to provide for the construc-
ton of four battleships instead of two; to estab-
lish postal savings banks.
These are the measures which the
leaders have agreed to put through If
possible:
Making more elastic currency; granting COM

SANTA CRUzANS
ARE OBDURATE
Renew Their Demand That the
Entire Fleet Be Sent to
That Harbor
SPECIAL DIspAroH TO THE CALL

SANTA CRUZ, April 16.--Press re-
ports from Washington crediting Sec
rotary of the Navy Metcalf with hav-
ing said that Santa Cruz was trying
to monopolize the fleet at the expense
OF Monterey and that the fleet officers
mad no authority to arrange for visit
ing any port caused increased bitterness
here 1t was charged that Secretary
Metcalf informed the committee weeks
ago that the itinerary north of Magda-
ieha pay was under Evans orders, and
the letters to that effect are on file.
On the strength of this and an addi-
tional message Of assurance of the visit
or the Heet on May 2, the citizens raised
$1,000.
The developments yesterday were that
II Monterey consented the whole fleet
would divide the time between the two
ports, but the vessels would not be
moved on Sunday. The following re-
ceiyed today gives a different aspect:
Y. d. Mclsaac, Secretary Santa Cruz Fleet
Committee: Have just seen Secretary Metcalf,
and as run between Monterey and Santa Cruz is
short think he will be willing to move the
Monterey committee j. G. NEEDHAM
The following was received today
from Senator Perkins:
Washington, D. c., April 1e.
H. A. Van @. Torehiana, Vice Chairman Fleet
Committee, Santa Cruz: Secretary is very de-
sirous you act upon dispatches sent you by Con-
gresham Needham yesterday, making satisfac-
tory arrangements with Monterey. feet may
visit both places. ] urgently hope you will so
arrange it and remove any friction that may
otherwise result in movement of feet.
GEORGE G. PERKINS.
Complying with suggestions the To-
cal committee visited Monterey today
and was turned down on the question
of a division of time for the whole
fleet. The Situation was explained to
Congressman Needham in a lengthy dis
patch tonight, signed by the heads of
all civic organizations here, insisting
upon the whole fleet visiting Santa Cruz
part of the time Santa Cruz will not
back down on this proposition.

LOSE BIG SEA PAGEANT
Los Angeles People Indignant
Over Church's Action
/. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

Los ANGELES. April IA verita-
Bile riot of indignation of citizens OF
all southern California broke out to-
day with the announcement that, in
response to the protest of the church
federation of Los Angeles, the fleet. on
arrival at San Pedro Saturday after
noon, would break up at once into four
divisions, three being distributed at
Long Beach, Santa Monica and Re-
.dondo and the other remaining at San
Pedro. This cuts out the projected
illumination of the entire fleet at San
Pedro Saturday night, and the pro-
posed sea parade of several miles Sun
day morning
Commercial bodies and many oiti-
zens have appealed directly to Wash
ington, to Senators Flint and Perkins
and to Secretary Metcalf asking that
the original plans be followed. It
still is hoped that the latest order will
be rescinded. The reason back OF the
church federation's protest is said to
be that it will keep thousands Of peo-
pie from church Easter morning, when
the biggest collections of the year
usually are made.

BANK COMMISSIONERS
MISS CALLED MEETINGS
Sessions Are Expected to Set
tie Nevada State Bank
and Trust Affairs
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

RENO, New, April 16.-Twice within
the past week the bank commissioners
of Nevada have failed to attend called
meetings to settle the much muddled
affairs of the State bank and trust
company. Yesterdays session failed
because Secretary of State Glib Douglas
and State Treasurer Ryan, members of
the commission, were absent. No in
formation concerning their where
abouts could be secured and no reason
for their nonattendance was given out
Tt was currently reported that the
meeting would be held today, but the
same conditions prevailed and all that
was in evidence was a crowd of disap-
pointed and weary depositors.
1t is now reported that the meeting
will be held on May /, but even on this
no information was given out The
cause of the secrecy in connection with
the delays is also a mystery not under
stood either at Carson or Reno. The
directors Of the bank had also called a
meeting for yesterday and adjourned

GRANDSTANDS FOR
VIEWING PARADE
Fleet Committee Decides to
Provide for Comfort of
$4,000 Persons

A move important to the comfort of
thousands who will view the great
naval and military parade OF May z, the
day after the fleets arrival, was made
yesterday when the feet committee
decided for the construction of two
grandstands along the line OF march
with a seating capacity for $4,000 per-
sons. One stand will be erected on
the city library lot, Van Ness avenue
between Hayes and Fell streets, the
other on the school lot at Fifth and
Market streets.
The plan Is along lines suggested by
Chairman James D. Phelan and Is
similar to those adopted in other big
cities. Phelan said that some pro-
vision ought to be made for women
and children, who would be put to
much discomfort If they were obliged
to stand in line in the streets for two
hours whileS the procession passed.
More than that 1t Will probably net the
fleet fund tidy sum, although the
financial side OF the project was the
one receiving least consideration.
The committee conferred with w. H.
Keyser, who has built stands in other
cities for similar occasions. Keyser
said he would charge $3.50 for each
seat, would admit the little children
free and would give 20 per cent Of the
gross receipts to the committee. He
will also stand the expense OF build
ing the stands. A special section will
be reserved furthermore for distin-
guished guests of the city who have
come to join in the feet celebration.
A contract will be made with Keyser
today.
Another stand Will be built for 500
Grand Army men, pioneers and
veterans of the Mexican war. This
viii be put up at the expense Of the
committee and money was appro-
priaUed for that purpose. James d.
Phelan, Frank J. Symmes, Allan Pol
lok, r. B. Hale and I. I. Brown are
the members of the committee who
have the project in hand.

SENATOR IS INDIAN CHIEF
Clapp of Minnesota Given War
Bonnet by Fighting Grow

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Clapp Of Minnesota, chairman of the
committee on Indian affairs, is now a
chief Of the Crow tribe. He was given
a great surprise today by Chief
Plenty Coos and his fellow tribesmen,
who have been witnesses before the
Indian committee for the last three
weeks. The chief marched into the COM
mtttee room at the head of the band,
and. through an interpreter. phleg-
matically informed the senator that
the treatment accorded the Indians
was highly appreciated and that an
appropriate gift was due the white
chief of the committee.
Chief Plenty Coos then took from
one of his followers huge war bon
net which had been his insignia of
rank and had been worn by him when
ever he went into battle. He said that
he was now man of peace and that
the bonnet was of less value to him
on the reservation than 1t would be to
the senator in congress, and there
fore he wanted the senator TO take it.
Senator Clapp was Completely fab
bergasted," according to his own de-
scription of his emotions. He took the
war bonnet and thanked the chief.

Amendment to Naval Bill to
Give Navy Yard Work

WASHINGTON. April 16.-The naval
bill was yesterday amended so as to
provide that one of three new fleet col
Tiers authorized be built in a govern
ment yard. Representative Knowland

already under construction.
The only other federal yard sufi-
GENTLY equipped for this work is at
New York. The vessel will cost ST.
100000. The bill, as amended today,
permits the secretary of the navy to
have such of the eight authorized sub
marine vessels as he sees fit construct
ed in a Pacific coast yard

ment of his intention to found the ma
tional University shortly before the re-
publican national convention meets for
the purpose of heading off any attempt
to stampede the convention to nominate

sity are now being made and they will
be perfected in six weeks The univer-
sity will be on an elaborate scale and
the most distinguished educators of the
world will be employed.
Magnificent buildings. will be con-
structed and from an educational and
architectural standpoint the university
will be the best in the world. The ma
ture of the securities which will be
provided to supply the revenue for the
university are now being decided in the
inner circles of Wall street. to which
the plans Of Carnegie are known.
The exact lines on which the univer-
sity will be conducted have not yet
been decided upon, but the intricate de-
tails are now being worked out. Efforts
have been made to keep Carnegie's
plans secret, but friend Of the Scotch
man whom he took into his confidence
inadvertently disclosed them.
