COMPLAIN ABOUT HITCHCOCK.
Postmaster General Said to Be "Rut-
ting In" On PATRONAGE.


Washington, d. c., Nov. 24.-A few
of the republican senators and one OF
two members of the cabinet, 1t is re-
ported, are complaining that Frank III.
Hitchcock, postmaster general, has
been made to appear too conspicuous
in the affairs Of the Taft admlnistra-
ton. The president has had mis- atten-
tion called to this matter and has been
warned of the political consequences.
The principal source Of complaint up.
pears to be that the postmaster gener-
al who was understood to have re-
linquished the chairmanship of the re-
publican national committee when he
went into the cabinet, is still exercis-
ing potent influence In the distri-
button OF patronage and is actively
directing party organization in every
state and territory In the county. He
seems to have voice in nearly every
question that arises in the other de-
In the cabinet.
For example, ne went to Beverly, 1t
Is claimed, and took hand in the dis
tribution Of the appointments Of CEN
sus supervisors throughout the United
States, although the census Office Is
subsidiary to tn department of COM
merce and labor and not the postofice
department. It was Mr.. Hitchcock VINO
selected Charles r. Crane for minister
to China without consulting Secretary
Knox, of the state department. 1t was
Mr.. Knox, however, who dismissed
Minister Crane, without consulting
Postmaster General Hitchcock.
One western senator declared that
the postmaster general was building
UP a great political machine out of
the postal service and In disregard of
the spirit of the civil service, with q
view of making himself president some
day.

SEATTLE, Dec. 26.-The work of
the state commission for the A-Y.-
p. exposition will be finished this

ARLAND'S PROMISES
COUNTY COMMISSIONER ARLAND
RENIGS ON FRANCHISE.
Talks to Elma Chronicle, and Tells of
Great Notifications He Means to
Insist Upon, but Gives no Expiana.
tiOn OF His Previous Action in the
Matter.

County Commissioner Arland, af-
ter asserting that the protest of the
Elma Commercial Club, mailed ON
saturday did not reach the clerk of
the board until the following Tues
day, gave out the following lame
excuses for his action on the county
road grab to the Elma Chronicles:
Ihere are good many people
under the impression that the fran
chise will permit the railway COM
pany to use the roadways," said Mr. 4
Arland. No such privilege will be
granted. A provision will be insert
ed that only one side of the right
OF way-which is sixty feet in most
places-can be used and only neces-
sary crossings of the roadway made.
| will stick for a provision that grav-
ell and road and bridge material shall
be hauled at actual cost, which will
mean thousands of dollars to the
county each year. AS to the time
limitations-two years to complete
the road from Aberdeen to Montesa-
no and all eternity for other sections
Mr.. Arland said: "This will be Civ
en- attention and time limits placed
on the other sections to secure their
completion within reasonable time
before the franchise is finally sign
ed and granted, a number of i'm
portant notifications will be made
which | believe will meet much of
the criticism. The people of the
county can rest assured that their
rights will be safeguarded and that
nothing will be allCewd to endanger
their rights or safety in the use and
enjoyment of the public highways.
The rights of way are sixty feet wide
and there is plenty of room for
| track on one side, with perfect safe
ty for teams and automobiles.
If this is anything but a lot of
| buncombe, the question naturally
arises, why did not Mr.. Arland see
that such provisions were inserted
before ordering the franchise pub
| lished, and before he and Mr.. Davis
voted it's passage, just as originally
framed-against the earnest protest
of his legal advisor, County Attor-
ney w. e. Campbell? Mr.. Arland
| further said no protests came to the
board before the meeting and that
he did not know why the franchise
was not published in the official
| county paper, where people look for
such news.
The first statement is not true. A
protest was made by Aberdeen men
and the county attorney at the meet
ing at which Arland and Davis pass
ed the iniquity. AS to the second
perhaps a little inquiry into the ac-
tions of the clerk of the board-a
relative of the original promoter of
the scheme-might reveal a reason
for using his prerogative to give it
the most concealment. The same
inquiry might discover the wherea-
bouts of that letter from the Elma
Commercial club between Saturday
and Tuesday.
The people of the county will re-
quire more than the unofficial word
Of Mr.. Arland before they will be-
lieve that in his hands, nothing
will be allowed to endanger their
rights or safety in the use and en-
joyment of the public highways"

TAFT APPROVES SUBSIDY
Humphreys Marine Subsidy Bill Re-
ceives Presidential Approval.
and Nav Become Law

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. %
President Taft has put the stamp of
approval on the bill providing for
the upbuilding of the merchant mar
inc, otherwise known as the ship sub
sidy, at conference with Represcn-
tative Will E. Humphrey. The bill
was drafted by representatives of
the Merchant Marine League and
members of the House who are in
terested in the subject. and entrust-
ed to Mr.. Humphrey for submission
to the President. Mr.. Humphrey
declined to make any statement rela-
tive to the provisions of the bill in
advance Of it's introductio in the
House further than that there was
nothing in it concerning cargo SUBJ
sidy.
The bill will be introduced on
Tuesday, January a, when Congress
reassembles after the holiday re-
cess. 1t will probably be referred to
the committee on merchant marine
and fisheries and will be considered
Immediately by that committee, with
a view to making an early report on
it to the house.
1t is probable that the same bill
will be presented in the Senate, but
friends of subsidy legislation are not
much concerned about that body. 1t
is assured that it will pass the Sen
ate, as similar measures have passed
in previous sessions. The fight for
the bill will be made in the House
but friends of the measure say they

Gov. Eberhart is trying to obtain
a concession from the railroads on
this point and he announced this
evening that the officials have al
ready taken steps to reach some
agreement.
Today the striking switchmen
agreed to submit the controversy to
arbitration and abide by the decision
of the board now being organized
in Chicago to settle the dispute be-
tween the Chicago lines and their
switchmen. The concessions demand
ed by the Twin City and Chicago
switchmen are identical. The rate
of pay pending the outcome of the
Chicago proceedings will be that in
effect November l. If the Chicago
conference results in an increase in
wages the lines here will put it into
effect.
President Hawley, of the Switch
mems Union, tonight said:
There will be no agreement to
terminate the strike unless the COM
panies agree that every man that
went out on strike will be rein
stated to positions occupied before
the strike began, and that without
prejudice"

PINCHOT TRYING TO
HAVE PROBE STOPPED
Friends in Senate Will Attempt to
Side-track Jones Resolution.
After Recess

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. "a
Several influential republican men,
bers of the senate, known to be ad-
mirers and supporters of Forester
Pinchot, are credited with having
undertaken an effort to sidetrack the
proposed investigation of the inter-
ior department and the forest SER
vice, which is scheduled for congress
when it reconvenes after the holi-
day recess. These senators depre
cate stirring up a controversy be-
tween these two branches of the gov
ernment on the alleged ground that
the agitation will not be beneficial
to the republican party and is like
ly to make a political issue of the
question of conservation and array
the East against the West.
In reality It is known that For
ester Pinchot and some of his closest
friends in public life are considera-
bly, disturbed because the forest SER
vice is to be probed to the very bot
tom, for they are aware that many
methods tolerated in the last admin
istration will not look well laid bare
before the country, particularly their
ulleT ulSI6SdIu lOl iHS law III many
instances, all of which will be un-
covered by the congressional commit
tee. The fact is that the Senators
anxious to suppress the Jones reso-
luton are acting in accordance with
Pinchot's wishes, and Pinchot hin-
self now realizes that the probe
which his friends were anxious to
stick into Ballinger's department
may be turned into his own bureau
with damaging results. 1nasmuch as
the President and the whole admin
istration is back Of the Jones reso-
luton, there is no likelihood that it
will be sidetracked.
Investigation is sure to come and
the very fact that the forest SER
vice seeks to avoid it is regarded as
very significant.

SWITCHMEN INSIST
ON REINSTATEMENT
Only One Obstacle Remains In Way
of Settling Strike

ST. PAUL, Dec. 24.-Only one OBJ
stacle remains in the way of a set
tlement of the switchmen's strike in
the Northwest, as the result of the
conference between railroad officials
and representatives of the railway
council of the American Federation
of Labor in Governor Eberhart's Of
flee. Both sides are agreed on all
questions except the time when all
striking switchmen shall be taken
back to work.
The railroads offered to take back
as many of the strikers immediate
ly as they have places for and then
re-employ the others just as soon as
places can be made vacant. 1t was
suggested that it may take thirty
days before all of the men could be
put back to work, but President
Hawley, Of the Switchmen's Union,
said he would agree to nothing short
of simultaneous unemployment of all
the men.
