NAVAL QUESTION
Warning Factions of Conserva
tive Party Agree to Await
Policy

Ottawa, Nov. 15.-The members of
the opposition after spending two
hours in caucus this morning and
another two hours this evening dis
cussing the warning attitudes of the
various actions of the party on the
naval defence question, decided that
1t was time to stop If possible the
public show of dissension within the
ranks. Accordingly it was agreed
after a long discussion and some plain
speaking from the leaders that un-
til the government policy was present.
ed in detail no more breaks" should
be made by exponents either of the
western Dreadnoughts school, the
Monk do-nothing school or the Borden
Canadian navy wing of the Conserva-
tive party.
A policy of "sit tight" and be pre-
pared to criticise the government pol
icy when officially announced, was
adopted as being the only safe politics
for the opposition to play at present.
Party expediency was the guiding
principle of majority of Mr.. Bor-
den's followers rather than a desire
to cooperate with the government in
a patriotic plan for a permanent pol
icy of national and imperial defence.
Party discipline was reasserted as a
necessary first condition to recover
the ground admittedly lost by the
undisguised show of dissension among
the various elements.
Lines of Cleavage Still Manifest.
Distinct lines of cleavage on the
naval policy as expressed in recent
interviews and speeches of the west
ern Quebec and Ontario leaders are,
however, still manifest and the 81
lence put on by caucus is only tenn
porary expedient until a further ef-
fort is put forth to effect some work
ing compromise on which the party
may unite. "A majority of the men,
bers seemed of the opinion that the
opposition by voting for the resolution
passed last session had committed
themselves too firmly to the govern
ment's naval policy to condemn it
now.
Mr.. Monk, whose views as given in
his public statements at Lachine last
Monday came in for severe criticism,
absented himself from this evenings
caucus. A sub committee was ap-
pointed to decide on the time and
place of the coming party convention.
Some members favor Winnipeg and
some Ottawa as the best place for
the convention.

, Preeeding the review the president
delivered a brief address, having been
introduced by Father Eugene De l..
Mcdonnell, the rector, who referred
to the fact that fifty years ago Prssi-
dent Buchanan had assisted in the
dedication services of the church.
President Taft in his speech said:
II am CAD to be present on this
occasion, the golden jubilee of the
foundation of this church. In our
country, in this government, and un-
of church and state, but rather a
declared separation OF them. This has
been sometimes misunderstood by
those who did not known our institu-
tions. as an indication that there Was
something hostile cn the part of our
government toward or some lacking
of sympathy with the church of God.
This is as far as possible from the
truth and l have always sought in
assisting every such church on in
teresting occasions like this, to testify
by my presence and by words of con-
graduation, that there is nothing
which the country and the people of
the United States so depend upon
for Progress and advancement Of their
ideals as the influence and power of
all the churches in the community.
They tend to exalt the nation.
Il am here today therefore to con-
gratulate Father Mcdonnell and his
congregation and the distinguished
dignataries of the Catholic church on
the growth in this community of this
church of st. Aloysius, and on the
good that it has done. and to testi-
fly as representative of the govern
ment to the synatly which we have
with this instrument and all others
that make for righteousness"

President Taft as soon as possible
about the situation, and until then he
would not have anything to say to the
public. This. he explained. did not
mean necessarily that he would give
out a statement then. The secretary
preferred not to say even this much,
for he did not wish to be placed in
the light of discussing the matter at
all. Included in this conference with
the president will be the matter of
his report and statement of his views
concerning the whole conservation
question.
PfnchOt Denies Charge.
MI. Pinchot returned from New
York last night, and also refused to
be interviewed. He laughed in deny
ing the accusation that he was in a
conspiracy with Heney and La Follet-
te to discredit President Taft and the
administration.
The publication of the charges of L.
r. CLAWS, whom President Taft order
ed removed from the Seattle field di-
vision. and the spreading of the maga-
zine article among newspapers far
and wide. has stirred the ill-concealed
wrath Of Secretary Ballingers adher-
ents, and it seems to be focused on
Mr.. Pinchot. He is held responsible
for having spurred CLAWS on, aided
and abetted by Francis j. Heney, the
graft prosecutor. and Senator La Fol-
lette What the evidence is is not
revealed, if there be any, that the
chief forester instigated the magazine
article.
That it was he who sent CLAWS to
the president last summer. when the
accusation was against the secretary
Of interior were originally made, has
been generally known. and it was a
letter from the chief forester that in
troduced CLAWS to the president. The
explanation of Mr.. Pinchot has been
that he had. in the interest of the
administration. persuaded CLAWS from
his purpose of starting newspaper
scandal. and to adopt the more order
ly procedure of laying his case direct
ly before the president.
Officials Are Reticent.
No information was obtainable yes
terday showing that the chief forester
brought about the reopening of the ac-
cusations against Secretary Ballinger
through the medium of the weekly
magazine. Notwithstanding the some
what strong statements that Forester
Pinchot was to blame. no positive
facts could he gained from the admin
istration officials. who grit their teeth
when they speak of the forest service.
This circumstance to a degree tended
to substantiate the wisdom of the de-
duction President Taft himself made
some months ago, which was that the
interior department and the forest
service were unduly suspicious of
each other.
Whether the story of the ct. r
cabal' be convincing or not to the
unprecedented mind. it is by no means
waved aside by some administration
officials. They believe that former
Secretary of the Interior James r
Garfield, former Governor Pardee OF
California and others of political I'M
portance. have been drawn into a sys
tematic effort to create a popular dis
content. and open the way for the re-
calling of Mr.. Roosevelt to executive
authority. AS was set forth in the
New York dispatch. it is explained
that many prominent men have beer
unwittingly led to inGorse PROPOSE,
tions that fitted into the general move
ment.

Second Murder for Same
Cause = :.

Philadelphia. Nov. 15.-Jealousy ov.
er a woman whose husband eight
years ago committed the "AIanayunk
mattress murder" Ole of the most re-
voting crimes in the history of Phila-
delphia, caused two men this morning
to engage in u duel that resulted
in the death of one and the fatal
wounding of the other.
AS the men struggled in the dining
room of her home, Mrs. Jennie Mel,
the widow of Angelo Mel, self-con-
fessed murderer. vainly tried to sep
arate them.

cut an Italian to pieces, tied him up
in a mattress and threw him in the
Schuylkill river, committed suicide in

SCHEME = 22![!AT
THE PRES|6iE!k>. :
Pinchot and Heney in Com
bine With Senator
LaFollette

Washington, Nov. 15.-From auth
oritative sources 1t is learned that the
salient features of the recommends
tions which President Taft will make
to congress for enlarging the scope
of the interstate commerce law are az
follows:
Creation of an interstate commerce
court to pass upon cases involving
decisions of the interstate commerce
commission.
Giving the commission power to
suspend a rate until it has an oppor-
tunity to decide whether such rate
Is fair and reasonable. Giving the
commission power to act upon its
own initiative without waiting for
formal complaint.
Restrictions upon the issues OF
stocks and bonds of railroads. These
cover the most important points upon
which the president will ask congress
to legislate, though there may be some
additional recommendations.
1t is not expected that congress will
at once proceed to enact all the
amendments to the law which the
president recommends. preferrine
rather to feel its way carefully. Prob
ably the first move in this direction
will be the establishment of COM
merce court. This is expected to
prove popular proposition, one that
will have the support not only of the
public, but of the shippers and car
| riers, also, because of the many rea.
sons that exist for taking all ques-
tions affecting the interstate com.
merce law to one court for adjudica-
Can Hear Other Cases. ,.....,
The intention is to make the jiidget
of this court of federal circuit court
capacity. 80 that in the event that
there should not be enough business
at any time to keep them engaged
with interstate commerce questions
they can be assigned to judicial cir.
cults to assist in the routine work.
One very important advantage thai
will be gained by the establishment
Of this court will be the promptness
with which decisions may be reached
Under existing conditions it takes
from one to two or more years to Sc.
cure decisions from the federal courts
where decisions of the commission
have been questioned. This delay il
vexatious to carriers as we'll as tc
shippers, and it can be remedied ir
large measure by the creation of the
new court. At present there are
twenty-eight cases pending before tn.
courts involving orders made by the
commission.
! Another very important thing to bt
gained by the proposed change will
be uniformity of decisions. At pres
ent there are as many different prin
ciples established es there are courts
passing upon these matters.
President Taft has his ideas wei
mapped out and at the first chance
will consult with members of his cab
met regarding the wording of them
Attorney General Wickersham, Sec
retary of State Knox and Secretary o
Commerce and Labor Nagel will givt
the president their advice on these
points before they are submitted t.
congress.

glers were aided by British trad
ers and officials in introducing it
into China, where it had previous
ly been used but little, and gener
ally as medicine.
The evil had grown so great that
in 1910 the emperor issued an edict
against the traffic and, with the
spirit of the Boston tea party, Chi
nese officials seized $7,000,000
worth of opium from ships in the
harbors, throwing it into the sea.
Great Britain Immediately found
excuse for war, and after devastat-
ing many towns, exacted of China
a heavy penalty.
But even in his abject defeat the
emperor persisted in fighting the
traffic until, in 1858, coercive meas
ures were again taken, in which
England and France united. China
was speedily conquered, but it was
not until tn eend of third opium
war, in 1861, that the helpless en-
peror consented and the British,
French and Portuguese traders in
opium were permitted to ply their
nefarious trade uninterrupted.

China was not by any means APP

NO MORE HIGH
SCHOOL fRATS
Especial to The Press)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 9.-Under the
new school which is under consid-
Grafton by the joint senate and
house committees on education the
fraternity in the school or high
school will be thing of the past
The code authorizes school boards
to see to it that no fraternities are
allowed to exist in schools which
receive state aid. 1t is made the
duty of the principal of all schools
to disorganiZe any frats that may
now be in existence and the pre-
vent the organization of others.
Any student who insists on be-
longing to a fraternity forfeits his
right to attend a public school, and
it is the duty of the principal to
see that he remains away.
Exception is made of the state
university, where frats are allowed
to exist as heretofore.
There is little doubt but what
this section will remain in the
school code no matter what
changes may befall other portions.
The self made legislator has a
healthy horror of everything that
savors of aristocracy, and the
mere mention of Delta Theta Phi,
with all it's Greek mysteries, its
eXclusiveness, the rumors of brand
ing irons, tortures, ETC., make his
democratic American blood boil,
and he's ready to abolish the frat
at once.
The school principals are very
anxious to have this law go into
effect as they say it will make the
discipline of the schools much
easier and bring about better
and more wholesome intercom-
munication among the pupils from
all walks of life who meet in the
common ground of the public
school.
