Pathetic?
1t certainly is. England. with a big
national debt, has a multitude of un-

her hands. The tax burdened English
must go deeper into their pockets.
And Germany

And now both Germans and EngliSl
are under a spell of apprehension lest
one spend more money than the other.

states and the nations which they
represent.
Besides the question of closer rela-
lions with the southern republics,
with especial to the early completion
of the Panama canal and the conse-
quent stimulating commercial devel-
opment in the trans-Missippi states.
the following questions will come I'M
der discussion:
National defense, with especial
reference to the needs of the Pa
cific coast and Hawaii; an adequate
merchant marine and the need of
government aid in its upbuilding and
maintenance; conservation of natural
resources, irrigation and reclamation
of semi-arid lands, scientific dry
farming, parcels post, postal savings
banks, department of mines, immi-
grafton, good roads, sugar beet and
cane industry, national finance, re-
form of the consular service, the
Barataria ana La Forcge canals,
drainage of submerged lands, and
separate statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico.
Evening illustrated lectures by
government experts will be feature
at the Auditorium during the con-
gress. The object of the government
is to explain to the people Of the
trans Mississippi states, in the most
effective way, the progress that has
been made upon the public work
upon which it is engaged. For this
occasion especially new views have
been taken upon the Panama canal,
also views showing the progress of
reclamation upon the various pro-
jects under way.
A very keen rivalry has sprung up
among the various cities for the
honor Of entertaining the congress
next year. San Antonio, with the Of
fer of a guaranty fund Of $4,000
for the entertainment of the con-
gress, appears to lead the race at the
present time, though st. Paul, New
Orleans, Los Angeles, st. Louis and
Omaha are actively at work. Colonel
Ike T. Pryor, a prominent Texas live
stove man who is now chairman of
the executive committee of the con-
gress, will probably be elected presi-
dent to succeed Thomas P. Walsh.

president of Princeton University, here
today when asked for his opinion on
the present agitation to abolish or mod
ify the game.
Il do think, however, he continued.
that it should be modified to some
extent in order to obviate these fatal
accidents as much as possible. To this
end | think the colleges and univer.
stiles should get together this winter
and go over the situation carefully with
the football rules committee. l have
no doubt that such conference would
result in the discovery of some means
of preserving the autumn game and
yet OF eliminating the tragic features
that have made this year so memorable.
'In the meantime | do not see that
newspaper discussion would be at all
profitable nor do ] care to go into de-
tails as to my private views on what
should be done.

CAUCUS TONIGHT
Strong Trend Toward Candidacy
of Duane E. Minard for
Leader, It Is S4d.

A caucus of much importance Will be
that held by the Republican Assembly
delegation tonight at headquarters,
Academy and Halsey streets. A hot
fight between at least two candidates
for the leadership of the delegation is
promised. but 1t may be said on high
authority that there seems to be a
strong tend toward the candidacy Of
Duane F. Minard. The other principal
factor in the fight is Robert s. Ter
hume, who. though he shows strength,
is hardly considered capable of Win
ming from AIinard.
Until recently William Lee was re-
place, but he has practically withdrawn
his name from consideration.
For the past two years the leader
ship of the Essex county delegation
has been a position of little Importance
because the representa- tives of Essex
did not vote under the unit rule. This
was caused by the split between the
New Idea representative and the
Regulars, and the constant pickering
between the two.
This year. however. the Regulars
succeeded IN electing the entire eleven
assemblymen. and the delegation viii
therefore vote as a unit. This being
the case the leadership. of the Essex
assembiymen becomes a matter of

spent last night in his private car on
the Oakland mole, and did not reach
this city until today. He said that he
did not expect TO meet President Har-
riman of the Southern Pacific here,
having Just accompanied him to FL
Paso. His trip to the coast, how
ever. was in the interest of business,
though he hoped to take a few days
rest in Southern California. When
asked if he was interested in the COM
plction of the southern Pacific soon
to be offered by the Western Pacific,
no said:
Eve are out for all the business
there is, but all things being equal, Of
course, we always favor a friend"
He thought that an inland water
way from the Gulf of Mexico would
develop the country and in that way
help the railroads, though his lines
would parallel the new route.
