OF NAVAL BASE IN LUZ0N
Admiral Thinks Appropriations Should
Give Way to Establishment
of Defense Stations

WASHINGTON, May pat the
meeting of the general board of the
navy, attended by Secretary Meyer. the
question of q naval base in the Phillip
pine islands was discussed. The United
states maintains three naval stations
at Cavite, Olongapo and Polloo.
So important is the subject regarded
that Rear Admiral Pillsbury, a MEM
Der of the general board and chief of
the bureau of navigation, believes all
appropriations for new improvements
at naval stations or for the defense of
the coast ports of the United States
should give way to the establishment
and the defense of naval bases in the
Philippine islands, Hawaii and Guam

Secretary Meyer said no conclusion
had been reached by the meeting re-
garding the location of the proposed
naval base in the Philippine islands.

VIGOROUSLY OPPOSED
Manager of Traffic Bureau at San
Francisco to Receive Strong
Support in Contest
with Railroads

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-Plans for
the support of William r. Wheeler,
manager of the traffic bureau of the
merchants exchange of this CITY, in the
fight he is to wage before the inter-
state commerce commission were Wig
orously discussed at a meeting today
of upward of fifty leading San Fran
cisco business men in the Chamber of
Commerce assembly hall.
Mr.. Wheeler will leave Saturday for
New York whence he will proceed to
washington to lay before the inter-
state commerce commission the protest
of Pacific coast shippers against the
mooted spokane rates." just deter
mined upon by the transcontinental
railroads.
1t was asserted at today's meeting
that the entire Pacific coast. for the
first time in history, is thoroughly
reused and united in its opposition to
a freight schedule, which it is alleged
will limit competition in inland west
ern markets, such as Spokane, to ship
pers in ST. Paul and Chicago.
The meeting was presided over by
William NJ Gerstle, vice president of
the chamber of commerce, and was held
behind closed doors.
1t was finally decided that two dele
gates each should be selected by the
commercial and business organizations
to meet Wednesday forenoon for the
organization of a committee of the
whole, empowered to seek support for
the fight that is to be waged.
In discussing the campaign Mr.
Wheeler said that the fight was not be-
ing made against the interior cities
such as Spokane and Reno; but on the
contrary, the bureau would willingly
work for lower rates for them also.
He said that what the coast shippers
determined was that rates from the
west to those points should be re-
duced in proportion as the rates from
the east are lowered.

COLORED CATHOLIC WORK.

From the Sunday Morning Echo.
Several pries'E from the South, no
tably from Texas, have been urging
Congress to take up seriously a dis
cussion of the Negro situation. They
point out that the Negro is quite
industrious and an entirely inoffens-
i've citizen when brought under the
restraining influence of the Catholic
religion They show that we have a
positive debt toward him. He is
here not of his own free will. but at
the will OF the whites. We brought
the Negro question on ourselves.
Priests who have worked among Ne
groes are very sanguine over the sue
cess of well-directed missionary eff
fort. Perhaps these priests have the
best right to speak, for they have had
experience to back their judgment.
Recently there has been established
in the United States a Bureau of
Catholic work among Negroes, and
it is expected that the paper on the
Negro missions, which will be read
by the Director-General, Rev. John
E. Burke. of New York, will be one
of the most interesting papers read,
and call forth fruitful and practical
discussion.
