CANNON FOR EARLY REVISION
WOULD CARRY OUT REPUBL1-
CAN CAMPAIGN PLEDGE.
Announces His Position at Lunch
con Given to Naval OMcers
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, November "a. - Joseph &
Cannon, Speaker of the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes, who was in Chicago yesterday
en- route to Washington, placed himself Oh
record in favor of the revision of the tarin
in accordance with the promise of the
republican party platform, and declared
that so far as his vote was concerned ne
would see to it that the announced policy
of revision would be written in the ma
tionaI laws as soon as possible. The
words Of the Speaker came at the conclu-
sion of luncheon given to six rear adj
mirals of the United States navy by Alex
ander H. Revall of Chicago. In the Union
League Club at which the need OF more
battleships and increased efficiency OF the
fighting forces of the republic were Tile
principal themes of discussion.
In few Introductory sentences Speaker
Cannon declared himself in favor OF an
efficient navy and army for the good OF
the republic, and quoted passage OF
Scripture relative to chariots of iron to
emphasize his point On the tariff ques-
ton his words were: ANY change In the
revenue laws of the country Of necessity
is followed by depression or business
Three years ago / followed the lead OF
Theodore Roosevelt, who declared tna'
there should be no revision of the revenue
laws, which means the tariff, until after
the next general election. His policy was
not to change existing conditions. The re-
publican platform on which the natlona
contest has been won says. Revise The
revenue laws That revision should be
with due regard to protection and penalty
against discriminatory nations. AS MEM
Der OF the next House Of Representatives,
a coordinate branch of the government
equal to the executive and the judiciary
and I will be there if 1 live-I am going.
so far as my vote is concerned, to see to
it that the policy of the republican party
on this question is written in the national
laws as promptly as possible. The laws
should be written promptly so that bust
ness can adjust itself to changed condi-
tons, for the change will of necessity
bring disturbance"

which Mr.. Revell presided, were Rear Ad-
mirals James H. Dayton, Albert Ross,

NO JOBS ON PANAMA CANAL
MORE MEN THAN NEEDED NOW
ON ISTHMUS
Tendency to Reduce Force in All
Classes of Labor-Pay Roll
Decreased.

The sign mo Help Wanted is now dis
played at all points along the line of the
Panama canal. 1t is explained at the
primary reason for the display of tho
sign is that the work has now PASSED
Its highest point. so far as the employ
ment OF men is concerned. The present
tendency, therefore. is to reduce the force
In all classes-clerical, artisan and labor.
In a statement issued by the commits.
sion 1t Is stated tina: from now on the
work in the Canal Zone viii. he confined
largely to actual canal building-that is,
to excavation and dam and lock con-
struction. On that account the forces
formerly engaged on municipal engineer
Ing and building have been reduced. and
the services of a number of clerks en-
g1neers carpenters plumbers and other
artisans have been dispensed with. Wher-
ever possible the men whose services are
not needed in one division of the work
are employed on another, and this sys-
tenn of transferring members of the pres
ent force also reduces the number of
positions open to new men.
The construction force is at it's maxi
mum until the laying of concrete begins,
when there will be a demand for men
skilled in that work
Finally. the gold employees on the
canal work are no longer a shifting force.
The men who are here want to stay both
because they are interested in their work
and like the country. and because the
wage scale is higher than in the states
The problem of unskilled labor. at one
time vexing because il was SO difficult to
procure men, has become a problem Of
how to keep the laborers already under
contract employed. Common aborers are
no longer asked to come to the isthmus
They come of their own volition and an
ply for work.
The expenditures for salaries and wages
for the month of September were 81 49,
213. being $46:SS9 less than for the month
of June last

BINGHAM APOLOGIES TO jews
REV1SES OPINION REGARDING
CRIMINAL RECORD.
Admits His Figures on Alien Rogues
in New York Were Incorrect, as
He Published Them.

Police Commissioner T. A. Bingham of
New York has authorized the publication
In the North American Review of the fol-
lowing statement in relation to his article
on Foreign Criminals in New York:
my attention has been called to a seri-
Gus complaint made by Jewish citizens
concerning a passage in an article recent
ly published in the North American Re-
view. entitled Foreign Criminals in New
York in which I said that, under exist
ing conditions. 1T is not astonishing that
with a million Hebrews. mostly Russian.
in the city (one-fourth of the population)
perhaps half of the criminals should be
OF that race and in which comment was
made on the percentage of Jewish boys In
the House of Refuge.
My purpose in writing the article was
not to publish statistics. nor to enter
upon a scientific inquiry into the race or
but solely to make plea for secret
service fund. in order that criminality
might be more effectively dealt with than
is now possible
'"ro indicate the necessity for additional
weapons to cope with crime, 1t was
pointed out that crimes of various kinds
are committed by those of our population
who are OF foreign origin which cannot be
adequately reached by the police force as
now constituted. 1t was only incidentally
that the remarks were made which have
been challenged.
THE figures used in the article were not
complied by myself. but were furnished
me by others. and were unfortunately as
sumed to be correct. It now appears,
however. that these figures were unreli-
able. Hence 1t becomes my duty frankly
to say SO and repudiate them.
THE idea which 1 sought to impress
was that the number of foreigners witt
whom the police come in contact is very
large. and that special knowledge of
racial customs and manners Is essential
to the attainment Of the best results by
the police in the Investigations of crimes
committed by and against those of for
eign origin.
In the House of Refuge is. it appears. also
misleading. This proportion Of boys. it is
now pointed out. should be considered
not solely in relation to the total number
Of boys in the House of Refuge. but with
reference to the total number of boys in
all similar institutions where boys Of this
age and of other races and faiths are sent.
The proportion of Jewish boys considered
In relation to the inmates of other like in
stitutiOns would be, of course, radically
different.
I'm view of all this, and of the fact
that many estimable citizens feel hurt by
what 1 wrote without the slightest malice,
prejudice or unfriendliness, for 1 have
none. I withdraw the statements chal-
lenged frankly and without reserve.
shall look forward with interest to the
result Of the research of the committee
of representative citizens which is now
engaged in making an accurate and ex-
haustive study of this whole question.
and shall be glad to meet them.

Commissioner Browns Views.


Miss Mechlin read the following letter
from Dr. Elmer Ellsworth Brown. United
States commissioner of education:
II regret sincerely that L am unable
TO be present at the meeting this after
noon in the interest of the decoration
and general artistic treatment of our
schoolrooms and school surroundings rms
subject Is one Of peculiar interest, De.
cause it touches the very fundamental
character of our education. To this day
the American people very generally think
of art as a subsidiary and rather trivial
concern. The chief emphasis in our edu-
cation is laid on the side Of natural
science. l do not think that science Is
not get thoroughly we'll balanced educa-
ton until we get an equally serious and
universal emphasis on the side of art.
The two must supplement each other,
and the art side must be strengthened
in order that it may serve as fit sup
plement Of the science side
I'VE are coming to see this point clearly
in the new movements In industrial edu-
cation. 1t is manifest that the markets
OF the world are to be influenced by the
rising consciousness among our modern
peoples of the want of things fine and
pleasing and beautiful, as we'll as the
want of things that minister to comfort
and convenience. So l look upon your
movement for more artistic decoration in
the schools as an important part of the
more general movement which is to make
art balance and supplement science Gin
the most fundamental and far-reaching
work of education everywhere"
And in addition to this letter others,
heartily indorsing the movement, from
Mr.. Oyster president of the school board
schools; James Rush Marshall and Rich
ard N. Brooke were referred to.
