SECRETARY DICKINSON IS
ASKED FOR EXPLANATIONS
Says President Consented for Him to
Act as Counsel for Railroad
Company

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. IA spe-
cial from Chicago tonight says that
Secretary of War Dickinson Will ap-
pear before the Illinois supreme court
to argue a case for the Illinois Central
Railroad company, for which ne was
formerly general counsel, and that the
state of Illinois is the opposing party
to the suit.
Judge Dickinson's attention being
called to the matter, he said the suit
had already been argued by him In
the lower court while general counsel
of the road.
The case, he said, involved large
amount in taxes and had required a
great amount of detail of preparation
He emphatically declared that nc
question was involved that in any way
affected government regulation of rail-
ways.
Secretary Dickinson explained that
when offered a position in President
Taft's cabinet he informed the presl-
dent that he would dissolve absolutely
his connection with the railroad com
pany, but at that stage of the suit IN
question the company could not en-
ploy new counsel who would have the
familiarity with the case required to
argue it on appeal and he did not teel
it was right under such conditions to
abandon the case.
The president. Mr.. Dickinson said
agreed to this view and appointed him
to the cabinet with distinct under
standing that he would complete his
argument in this case.

KING is STILL TRYING
TO AVERT GREAT CRISIS
So Far Unsuccessful-Diff in
Avoiding Conflict Between Lords
and Commons increasing

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE king thus far
has been unsuccessful in arranging a
compromise in the budget controversy.
He is still trying, however, to prevent
a crisis, and today had another long
consultation with Premier Asquith.
AS time passes the difficulties in
avoiding a conflict between the COM
mons and the lords increase, the strong
party men on both sides being eager
for the fight.
on the other hand, the unionists,
who have made all preparations for
the election, are urging the leaders to
do nothing that might prevent an i'm
mediate appeal to the people. They
have seized upon Mr.. RedmcDd's
statement to America that the last
obstacle to home rule would go with
the disappearance of the veto of the
house of lords and are declaring that
to vote for the budget is to vote for
home rule.
The house of lords is radically amend
ing the Irish land bill. The lords threw
out the clause providing for compul-
sorry purchase thus raising another
issue between the two houses.
The nationalists already have-an-
nounced that they will insist upon re-
storing this clause when the bill re-
turns to the house of commons.

cerning the cancellation of the speak
ing engagement of Miss Mary Mac

H. P. Belmont said:
"Will reinstate meeting If explana-
tory statement is made by Miss Mac

The speaking engagement for Miss

suffragettes of England.
mo one has ever tried to dictate to
me what I shall say and what I shall

"I should think Mrs. Belmont would
know when I am engaged to talk or
why the working girl needs the ballot
1 would not speak on why she should
not have it.
"As a matter of fact, I go further
in my belief than the English suf-
fragists and believe that every woman

WANT FIVE-MILE
LIMITS RAISED
IMPROVEMENT CLUBS IND0RSE
ACTION OF VERNON
GARBAGE MUST BE BURNED OR
USED AT DISTANCE is CRY
Plea for "city Beautiful" Is Made
at Close of Business Session
by Charles FarweIl
Edison

Duplicates of the resolutions adopt
ed at the mass meeting held Wednes-
day night in Pages hall, condemning
the action of the board of public works
for requesting the city council to re-
move the five-mine limit restriction for
the disposal of garbage, were adopted
last night at meeting of the FEEDER
ated Improvement clubs held In tho
chamber of commerce building. Ths
resolutions will be made into the form
Of a memorial and will be forwarded to
the council. They call upon the council
to enforce a lew which will prohibit
the feeding of garbage to hogs at any
point nearer than five miles from the
city limits or a law which will compel
the incineration of all garbage.
A committee appeared before the
meeting asking an Endorsement of the
proposition to tunnel through the First
street hill from Broadway to Fremont
streets. After some discussion, the
proposition was unanimously indorsed.
Charles Farwell Edison addressed the
meeting on 1.-THE City Beautiful" He
pointed out that Los Angeles has mora
natural advantages and more material
to work with than any other city, al
though comparatively nothing has been
done to make this city beautiful.
AT the coming election said Mr..
Edison, I'VE will vote for men who will
make Los Angeles the city beautiful
or unbeautiful AS men and women
building for the city's future and from
a strictly business viewpoint, we should
put into office those men who will work
always for the city beautiful
"What has been done for civic I'M
provement has been scattered. We
must stop thinking of particular sec
tions, and must get together working
for the good of the whole. 1t was
working for the whole that made Harrl-
man a great railway king"
Mr.. Edison urged a civic center where
all city buildings would be grouped and
an educational center where the peo-
pie may go to learn and enjoy.
In concluding, Mr.. Edison said; "The
value of things is in the amount OF
use which may be made of them.
Make up your minds that you will have
a CITY beautiful and that it will be of
constant use to you and you will get
It. Build for the future. Make the city
do its real work, that is, make 1t
place where the workingman may earn
an honest living for himself and his
family; where he may with some degree
of comfort live and enjoy life; where
he may raise his children as they
should be raised. That will come as
one of the results of making Los An
geles a city beautiful. Then you VIII
raise UP the men and women who VIII
be a future credit to the nation. Money
you can get, but men must be made.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Reports just

Gently held there decided that John
Early, who after being pronounced a
leper by the Washington authorities
was recently discharged from the skin
and cancer hospital here on the
ground that he was not afflicted with
leprosy actually is leper.
Early was brought to New York
from Washington and since then has
been free to go where he pleased. He
has come in contact with many per-
sons.
A section of the report from Norway
declares that Early's wife had sub
mitted a section of his skin to Armauer
Hansen, the European expert on lep-
rosy and that his diagnosis showed
that Early is certainly a leper.
This decision sustained the WASH
ington authorities and also the lab
oratory diagnosis of Prof. Thlers of
Copenhagen, who has been consulted
by the Washington physicians and
who has been disputed in New York.
The congress adopted a resolution
declaring that leprosy is a disease
which is contagious from one person
to another and urging that means be
found to prevent it.
