WHOLE LOTS OF TROUBLE IN
PRESIDENTS OFFICIAL FAMILY

is particularly anxious to have q
Republican majority in the next
house so that the rest of his program
may be carried out. The decision to
make the changes that have been
made, it is declared, follows messages
carried by various leaders from all
parts of the country pointing out the
political necessity of changes in
leadership. 1t is reported that all
these leaders desire to have Ballinger
deposed.
While there has been no doubt
since the first announcement that
Cranes mission was to ask Ballinger
to resign it is believed that the re-
ports eminating from the summer
capital yesterday were as authoritd-
tive as the administration will give
until the Ballinger-Pinchot investiga-
ing committees report is made
public.
Hitchcock, i is declared, lost
standing with the president IN polltl-
cal matters because of his loss Of
prestige for the stand he took in the
Ballinger-P -Pinchot controversy.
It is believed that Aldrich's visit to
Beverly yesterday after his letter 10
Congressman Mckinley denying the
Bristow charges, was made in the
hope that Taft would endorse the
denial. That the president let the
Rhode Island senator know that he
would not endorse the denial and that
Aldrich then promised to retire, IS
the belief of politicians here.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 13.-That
Senator Winthrop Murray Crane of
Massachusetts, has succeeded Post
master-General Frank H. Hitchcock
as advisor to the president is the
authoritative report today, following
the reports that Speaker Cannon is
to be eliminated from the high
Republican councils along with Sen
ator Aldrich and Secretary Ballinger.
When the United Press first an
nOunced on high authority that the
mission of Senator Crane on his
mysterious journey to st. Paul was
to demand the retirement of Secre-
tary Ballinger before the Fall cam
paign, it was intimated that Presi-
dent Taft had decided on drastic
measures to reunite the Republican
party and assure success at the polls
in November.
The president, it is said by those
close to the administration has be-
lieved for some time that the Demo-
Gratis and insurgents would control
the next house, and has been con-
sidering, it Is declared, moves that
would make it possible to insure a
Republican victory. The president
has had many conferences with Sen
ator Crane and when he sent him

Toxic, Aug. 13.-The high wall
and enlightenment and moat surround
ing the westeHo or upper half of To
kio is threatened with destruction,
Already the western half of the
city, in the lower section comprising
one-third of the city, the homes Of
100000 Japanese of the poorest
class, was destroyed when the river
Shumida, dividing the city, over
flowed its banks.
The government today assumed
direction of relief and ordered
troops from surrounding prefectures
to concentrate their efforts of relief
on the million homeless in the coun-
try districts surrounding Toxic and
Yokohama. War vessels have been
ordered by wireless to proceed at
once to Toxic and Yokohama to CO.
operate with the military authori-
ties.
The prostration of land communi-
cation makes the work of relief and
care for the shelterless and starving
pitifully inadequate.
A great Buddhist temple near
Takasaki, the Gongendo, crowded
with refugees, is being slowly un-
dermined by the swirling waters OF
the Tonegawa and is threatened
with destruction.

tween Toxic and Shidzuoka practical.
ly has joined the sea. The govern
ment railroad on which trains are
operated between Toxic and Kobe
is washed away and all the smaller
stations along the line are sub
merged.
Northward the Tonegawa is a
swollen food and belated reports
from Karuizawa, the great Japanese
summer resort, indicate that tho
lowland towns have suffered great
damage.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 13.-The
town of Taft, Idaho, is today entirely
surrounded by forest fries and the
men who are fighting the onslaught
of the flames are making valiant ef-
forts to stay it's progress. The town
has population of 200 and is in
the Couer d'Alene. district 1t is
feared that the town may be des-
troyed.
Wallace, Murray, and Mullan,
Idaho, are threatened, and if a
change in direction, or an increase in
velocity of the wind should occur
within the next few days, the towns
may be destroyed.
Wallace seems to be in the most
dangerous position as the fires have
formed a semi-circle around the
town, on the south and west. While
the fire is several miles from the
town, and is partially under control,
any shifting of the wind would drive
the fighters away from their task
and a high wind would carry the fire
over the mountains into the city.
Many of the forestry camps at
Bullion mine and Bird Creek have
been destroyed by the fires and the
fighters are seriously hampered by
the loss of supplies and implements
with which the Flames were being
combatted Fires in the Murray dis
trict made considerable headway last
night.
It is reported that a pack train
consisting of 35 horses, accompanied
by the same number of fire fighters
became alarmed at the fires enroute
from Iron Mountain to Independence
Creek at the head of st. jose river
and turned back, after removing the
packs and abandoning the horses.
The entire burning district is over
hung with a dense pail of smoke.

west, it was believed by politicians
that Crane had been given a place
close to the president in political
councils.
The authoritative report is that
Ballinger has prepared his resignation
and that he will leave office about
September 10 and that Senator
Aldrich in an interview with Taft
yesterday repeated his former asser-
tion that he would not be a candidate
for reelection, together with the
further report that Speaker Cannon
will no longer be retained as a party
leader, has given rise to the belief
that Crane has taken the place
Hitchcock held as chief political ad-
visor to the president.
The removal of Ballinger and the
retirement of Aldrich and Cannon are
only part of plan, it is believed,
which is intended to appease the in
surgents and coax an endorsement
out of Theodore Roosevelt and insure
victory Just what the next move
will be is matter of speculation but
those close to the administration
here say that others of the regulars
who are considered out of touch with
progressive ideas may find their
leadership slipping from them. Tat

Sir: The front page OF The TriDunes

up OF eighteen portraits of Speakers OF ire
House On this page for April IL we IND a
composite picture which Is meant 70 give
the facial and cranial appearance OF an
Individual future American in descent from
average immigrants such as are nowadays
coming here by tens and even by hundreds
Of thousands.
Portraits Of a score, more OF less. OF emil
nent American public men could not In fair
ness be made into a composite for COM
garrison with one made up Of utterly com
monplace people. but that unquestionaole
intelligence which pervades and seems To
emanate from the physiognomy OF each OF
these oidtime Speakers could readily De
matched by the same number OF portraits
Cdaguerreotypes) taken at random OF con-
temporaneous American men. such as mer-
chants and the like.
Then what do We see ahead! We see a
coarse and common fellow totally unlike
anything American and whose lineaments
bespeak nothing better than the worst OF
his ancestors. There is nothing 70 him that
denotes or promises refinement Of any kind.

"CABr

The general introduction of mechani-
cally propelled cabs, provided with auto
matte time, distance and fare indicators,
has undoubtedly been a useful ad-
dition to our means of local transit,
though it is evident that IL has not
solved all the problems connected there
with. 1t has not altogether freed the
public from eXtOrtionate charges, though
these are now enforced only through
the exercise of deliberate fraud. and IL
has not ended the old controversy con-
corning the special privileges and limi-
tations of licensed cabs at specified
stands
There can be little doubt of the pro-
priety Of establishing special stands at
the entrances of important hotels and
in other much frequented places. That
practice greatly serves the convenience
of the public. And probably there
should be some distinct discrimination
IN terms of license between the cab
which waits in such a place for Gus
toners and one which freely roves about
picking up fares wherever they are TO be
found. At the same time there would
seem to be certain principles common
L. both. arising from the circumstances
that both are public vehicles and that
both ply their trade on the public high
way.
The natural assumption is that the
cabs which wait before n certain hotel
let Us say, are intended primarily 20
serve the occupants of that hotel. But
they can scarcely have monopoly az
that service. Ii a guest of the hotel on
going out prefers To telephone elsewhere
Tor cab 10 Ice sent for him, he would
surely have right TO enter il On the
public street at the hotel door. We can
scarcely suppose that any hotel claims
control Of the roadway. or purpose 10
require its guests 10 patrOniZe only GER
tain specified cabs. or course. also. n
guest going 10 the hotel from another
part Of the city Is not required 10 send
10 the hotel for one Of the cabs from
lis stand. hut may engage and use any
cab which he may find Conversely.
since the cabs of the hotel stand do not
and cannot enjoy such a monopoly of
service. IL is not clear that they are
properly Ia be restricted TO SUCH a part
Of that service as they are able to So
cure. II the patronage of the hotel
Guests Is not sufficient TO keep them
busy. il j. difficult To understand why
they should not accept that of any per
sons who may happen To- come along
and offer il. As for picking up fares
al other points than the specified stand.
perhaps they should be forbidden to
DO 50 unless the wouldbe patrons
wish to be taken TO that stand, since it
Is obyious that such engagements might
take aud keep the cabs away from their
stands altogether.
The problem is not simple one but
Il is sgrcly capable OF solution, and IL

Just now, however, its attitude on some
questions is egregiously unfair; for IN

Russian authority even in Slavic mat
ters was iolted with impunity In the
affair Of the Balkan reimbursement. Aus
tria- Hungary practically dehed Russia
when she took the Serb provinces, and
Russia's resentment was OF no avail.
Yet to-day there is an understanding be
tween those two powers which Is highly
advantageous to Russia. and in the visits
and speeches of the Servian and Bulga-
rian monarchs respectively at the Rus
sian and Turkish capitals there is fore
Swallowed Balkan confederation under
Russian auspices and inspiration, the
achievement of which will give Russia
more commanding influence and prestige
IN that corner OF Europe than sine has
had since the notification OF the Treaty
of san Stefano. There is little doubt
that not only the visit of King Peter TO
Russia but also that OF King Ferdinand
TO Turkey was planned by Russia and
that the net result of both Is to the ad-
vantage OF Russian diplomacy.
In domestic affairs the rehabilitation
Of Russia is still more marked. When
the ominous unrest OF 1905 occurred
there were not wanting those who re-
called the French Revolution and who
reckoned that the Russian cataclysm
would surpass the French in magnitude
and horror as much as Russia In 1905
surpassed France in 1893 I'm size. There
was indeed some disorder and there
were some excuses. but these were in no
case greater or worse than many which
had previously occurred. They have
passed. and the Russian revolution IL
an accomplished fact. The eutocracy has
become constitutional monarchy with a
rising democracy. And now at last the
army and navy are being reconstructed
and reOrganiZed with marvellous celer-
ity, so that the expiration Of seven or
eight years from the debdcte Of the Jap
anese war will probably see Russia far
stronger on both land and sea than ever
before in her history
The military rehabilitation OF Rus
STA may be deplored by those who dream
Of instant and universal disarmament,
but most men will regard II as COM
mendable compliance with what at pres
ent remains a necessity. The rehabilita-
ton OF domestic order and the secure
establishment of constitutionaIism In
place Of absolutism could not be 100
highly esteemed, and the revival Of Rus
sian authority I'm the international af-
fairs of Europe commands appreciation
unimpaired by apprehension. The whole
process, quietly as IT has been conducted,
is truly epochaL
