Secretary of Treasury, Outlining
Administration Attitude. Saws 1t
VIII Be COnciliatOry Except in
Matters Involving Principles or
Promises.

Chicago, June 7.-Franklln Mac
voaph, secretary of the treasury, and
secretary Dickinson, of the war depart
,,,ont we're guests of honor at the ban
nrot Of the Chicago Commercial Club
saturday night. In his speech Mr..
WacVeagh outlined the characteristics
of the Taft administration and empha-
s;zod the fact that it would be as dis
ti~nouishable from the Roosevelt ad-
ministration as Roosevelt's was from
~WcKinlev's. Mr. MacVeagh said in
part:
"This administration will be concil-
iatorv, if you do not ask it to give up
nrinciple or to go back on its prom
ise Neither of these things will it do.
# will stand by it's principles and it
will stand by it's policies"
Keep President Party Leader
In the mind of Mr.. MacVeagh, the
leading and controlling vote Of the pres
ont administration was a determined
tendency toward regularity Of decision
and of procedure.
President Taft, he said, would adj
minister his Office within constituted
boundaries. The effect of this, he de-
clared. would be to keep the president
the leader of the party organization.
Mr.. Taft, he said, was the man of
progress.
He referred to the presidents defer
ence and respect for the formal priv
ileges of congress, adding:
"And what is more significant and
interesting at present is not the actual
non-interference, but rather the fine
disposition shown to respect all rights
and to meet everybody half way in the
hope and interest of a homogeneous
party of progress-a disposition which
can only be interpreted as statesmanlike
action and which it would be a fatal
mistake to consider as a change Of act
ual policy or purpose"
As to the Roosevelt policies, MI. Mac
Veagh said that they were as safe in
the hands Of the present administra-
ton as they were in the hands Of the
last.
Eve are not hearing much about
them, he said, ''but that is partly be-
cause the president has his own way of
arriving at results and because other
issues are now associated with them in
the activities at Washington, issues that
before left to the Roosevelt policies
the whole stage"

BACTERIA ARE INCREASED
BY ELECTRIC VENTILATORS
Partisan Doctors Say Cooling Appara-
tus in Cafes Spreads Grippe
and tuberculosis

PARIS, April 10.--Some interesting
experiments have been made during the
past two weeks in Paris with the So
called electric ventilators. which are
supposed to purify the air in cafes and
other places where little or no air comes
in from the outside. Five experiments
were made.
The first one was made at $3.50 III the
morning in a large cafe in which the
yentilators had not been running for
eight hours. There were 10000 bacteria
to the cubic meter. When the yentil-
ators had been working for an hour
there We're $4,000 bacteria.
In another cafe there were $4,000 bac-
terra with the ventilators working, as
against 10000 without. And much the
same proportions prevailed in all the
experiments. 1t is a terrible thing to
think of the millions of bacteria that
must be swallowed in those places. and
although the result of these expert
nlents will not be to prevent people fire.
quenting the cafes in Paris. it may
pehaps prevent the use of quite so
many ventilators.
Two doctors who made the above ex
periments. and who are public officials.
both declare that these electric ventil-
ators. on fans, are directly responsible
for the spread of grippe and of tuber-
culosis.

MAY HEAR AUTHORS
READ THEIR PLAYS
The Chic Thing at Precent Is to ATT
tend Reception Des Coutu-
rieres or Dressnakers'
Rehearsal

PARIS, April 1o.-No Partisan will
be surprised if in the course of year
or two the managers of the Paris the
aters invite a houseful of friends and
critics to hear an author read his play.
It would not surprise many If before
very long invitations are sent out to
hear authors discuss the idea which
they are going to turn. into a play, for
not only has the premiere or first night
ceased to attract, but even the dress
rehearsal or repetition generate is
ceasing to be fashionable, or. to use a
choice of French expressions, has
ceased to be tires snob" or tires
smart"
few years ago no one went to a
repetition generate but the critics. Now
the house ic packed and everybody
wears full evening dress. 1t is to all
intents and purposes a first perform
ance. And now, that being so, the chic
or smart or snob thing here in Paris
is to go to the repetition des coutur-
ieres, or dressmakers' rehearsal. 1t is
a long evenings work and IL it were
not so swell it would be very weari-
some.
But it is just this labor that the
fashionable Partisan theatergoer of to-
day enjoys. You very rarely meet a
critic at repetition des couturieres
unless he is obliged to so there. One
man in Paris--a buyer of French plays
for other countries-always goes to
these five and six-hour rehearsals. IF
I can buy play after the ordeal" he
says, Il know that it must be ex-
tremely good" He has. however,
bought no plays for long time.

MILITARY AMBITIONS OF

NOTED BRITISH PUBLICiST
CHANGES HIS VIEWS
Frederic Harrison Declares Ambitious
Schemes Cherished for Genera
ton Threaten Very Existence
of Great Britain

LONDON, April 10-Frederic Harri-
son has contributed to the Times
notable article on, national defense:
Mr.. Harrison's great influence ana
thought have been directed against
aggression and imperial expansion for
nearly half a century. In this COM
munication, however. he admits that
recent developments have obliged him
to modify his anti-militarist policy and
to urge on the country the vital nee
essity of taking stringent measures for
national defense. He says:
"They are trifiing with serious
crisis who repeat platitudes about our
friendly neighbors, our peaceable ideals
and our magnificent navy. OF course,
England desires to live at peace with
all men and does not nurse against
any continental nation either Jealousy
or grudge. And we know our navy
today is amply competent to defend
our island and empire against any
maritime power in the world. What
more can we want? says the old
fashioned radical, intent on retrench-
ment, and the new-fashion labor man,
intent on social reform.
well, let us come to the point and
speak plainly on certain facts. The
sole ground for serious anxiety as to
our national defenses arises from what
we see as we watch the feverish ex-
pansion of the German navy, combined
with the domineering attitude of the
German government in Europe-plus
the ambitious schemes asserted now for
a whole generation by the German mil
itary and naval chiefs, fomenting the

GOVERNOR SAYS GAMBLING
AT SPRINGS MUST CEASE
Indiana's Monte Carlo Not to Be Per.

of State Has His Way

INDIANAPOLIS, April 10.-Governor
Marshall, before leaving for a trip to
New York, instructed the prosecuting
attorney for Orange and Washington
counties to Investigate the reports of
gambling at French Lick Springs and
if he finds them true to proceed
against the proprietors of the games.
Under the direction of former Gov
ernor Hanly, the present governor
Republican predecessor, the games at
French Lick were raided. 1t is alleged
they have been reopened in elaborate
gambling rooms, which are crowded
each evening by fashionably dressed
crowd of men and women VINO play

The gambling rooms, 1t is reported
to the governor, are in small hotels
just outside the land limits described
in the charters of the West Baden and
French Lick hotels.

of the National Democratic committee,
is owner of the latter resort. Governor
Marshall is a Democrat.

millinery department. 621s cents week.
The living-in system tended to cheer
lessness and monotony. The latchkey
system had something to do with 1t,
and the girls were sometimes encour-
aged by those above them. A theatrical
manager of his acquaintance said that
his profession was more moral than

He would not like to tie himself to
that statement The only remedy for
the state of things was that there
should be less anxiety about dividends.
There should be great care in the class
of men selected to supervise young wo-
men, and finally the abolition of the
living-in system.
After discussion Mr.. Campbell said
that he had no doubt that millinery
establishments were the worst. The
girls were often underpaid and encour-
aged to dress extravagantly. The chair
man said that the chamber appreciated
Mr.. Campbell's sincerity in the matter,
and if evidence was forthcoming by
which they could stamp out encour-
aged immortality they would be glad to

EUGENE, Ore. April 10.-The trial
before the regents of the University of
Oregon of five students alleged to have
been implicated in the hazing last De-
cember of Ralph Bristol of Portland.
was begun here yesterday.
Young Bristol, some time after the
hazing, became insane, and his father,
a prominent grocer of Portland, al
legged the affliction was due to the
hazing.
The students implicated in the haz-
ing were frank in their stories. They
admitted their respective parts without
attempting to shift the blame. Their
testimony was uniform that young
Bristol was ducked in cold water for
a period of about two seconds. This
was punishment. they declared, for in
fraction of dormitory rules, alleged to
have been committed by Bristol.
The alleged participants stated Bris-
tol repeatedly had infracted rules OF
the dormitory, working hardship on
students who were compelled to do
servants labor in working their way
through college.
Their special grievance was his COM
Ing to meals from ten to fifteen min
utes late. The Bristol boy had been
warned time and again to be more
prompt. The question of young Bris-
tolls mental condition prior to the
ducking has become one of the elemen-
Sal issues of the trial.
According to his professors, nothing
abnormal ever was noted In the young
man.
Other witnesses. however, testified
that Bristol was of eccentric habits.
His landlady testified the young fellow
slept with a small rifle under his pill

eealed in his room. She declared he

DOG FRlGHTENS THIEVES Ii.
FROM HOUSE OF BANKER
Timely Barking Notifies Burglars
They Are Discovered, and
They Escape

PARIS, April 10.-Burglars broke
into the private residence of Baron de
Neuf1ize, governor of the Bank of
France, the other night, but through
the timely barking of a good watchdog
they were scared away and seem not to
have carried off any booty. The baron,
who is also one of the stewards of the
Steeplechase society and director of the
p. l.. M. railway, had gone with the
baroness to his chateau at Chantilly.
The concierage heard the dog bark
at about l in the morning, and on see
ing that one of the windows had been
forced open he called policeman. The
burglars meanwhile had time to es-
cape They had succeeded in rummag
ing about in some of the rooms on the
first floor. and objects were scattered
about. No papers of any value could
have been stolen, as Baron de Neufiize
makes ii rule not to keep any inpor-
tant documents at his private resi-
dence.

HANDLING GUNS

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch, apropos
of a recent Chicago tragedy, offers the
following bit of. good advice: when
you wish to show a person how to use
a revolver, remove the cylinder put on
the safety catch and keep your finger
off the trigger" An excellent sugges-
ton SO far as 1t goes, only it does not
go far enough. The safest way to ex-
plain the mechanism of a revolver is
either to bury the dangerous weapon
under foot of earth, or toss it down a
we'll The surest way to handle it is
not to handle it at all. In the words of
the poet:

explain the mechanism of a pistol or

PARIS. April 10.-"He must be pre-
pairing for removal reflected the
neighbors of well-to-do old bachelor
when they heard sounds of men stump
ing about dragging chairs and tables
and increasing the din now and then
with an ominous noise, as of falling
china. The racket had continued for q
while in this particular fiat, when its
entrance door was heard TO open and
presently certain loud and emphatio
EXPLANATIONS indicative of intense dis
gust resounded.
The old bachelor had returned to his
home to find everything in the widest
disorder. Curtains had been torn down
and strewed the floor, upon which also
lay smashed lamps and vases and or
naments much valued by their owner,
while a number of chairs and tables
had been overturned.
After contemplating this scene of
ruin the poor man dashed down tbs
staircase to confide his troubles to the
agents of the law, and he was Won
dering how many burglars could have
broken into his apartments when he
learned that diligent search was be-
inc made for a monkey which had es-
capped from an adjoining house. With
an escort of several policemen he re-
turned to his fiat to find the monkey
hiding in a corner.
1t seems that the enterprising ami
NAL had on the previous day been en-
trusted by its owner to neighbor, and
that having a taste for adventure, it
had broken it's chain and visited the
flat in question with dire results to
the property.

MISS JOHNSON
FINISHES FIRST
WINS W0MEN'S Slx-DAY WALK
ING CONTEST
Monday Morning Contest Starts Be-
tween Five Teams of Men--Fast
Professionals Are En-
tered

Before crowd that filled every inch
of the MADE in California exposition
building Miss Pauline Jackson finished
first in the first women's six-day walk
ing contest ever held in Los Angeles.
The struggle for first place was Bit
ter between Miss Jackson and Miss
Beadle, as the latter held the lead until
Friday night, but try as she might she
could not overtake Miss Jackson.
The crowd was enthusiastic over the
remarkable performance of Miss Har-
yey, who, starting with a handicap of
over five miles, reeled off thirty miles
and lost third place by but one mile
and five laps.
From o'clock last night until 70
o'clock the walkers were allowed to do
their utmost, and the fastest walking
of the contest resulted.
Miss Gibson made a plucky fight and
retained her place in third position,
after a remarkable display of grit.
Time and time, Miss Harvey electro
fled the crowd by stealing lap, and If
the race had lasted longer she would
have been a contender for first honor,
judging from her performance of last
night.
At II o'clock Miss Beadle acknow
edged that she could not hope to regain
the lead. and gracefully presented her
winning opponent with huge bouquet
of American roses and escorted her
about the track.
Miss Webb and Miss Pepenti made no
great effort to better their scores, as
they were hopelessly beaten. but stuck
to their task to get part of the prize
money.
The contest was clean and unmarried
by any accident, and although the con-
testants were badly exhausted at the
finish their physical condition was pro-
nounced perfect by DR.. Smith, who has
attended the walkers during the con-
test.
Monday morning contest between
five teams of men will start another
six day walking contest. and some of
the best professional walkers in the
country have entered. The men will
walk from 10 O'Clock in the morning
until 10 o'clock at night, and one man
of each team will have to be on the
floor all the time during the race or
