Rates an Argument


Senator Nixon of Nevada Issued an
interview today. which is printed in
Washington papers, showing how east
ern communities would benefit by the
low rates to be in force to California
during the Panama-Paciic exposition.
1t is expected that a $50 round trip rate
will be in effect from Atlantic coast
terminals. including New York. Phila-
delphia, Boston. Washington. Richmond
and Charleston. Such a rate would en-
able everybody to go to the coast and
would remove the great objection
against holding the exposition in San
Francisco.
New Orleans has carried on a shrewd
campaign in various congressional dis
tricts represented by neutral or unde-
cided congressman. The effect OF this
campaign is reflected in cases where
congressman say they have no prefer
ence between New Orleans and San
Francisco. Expressions from their dis
tricts in favor of New Orleans have
swung some Of these representatives
over to the southern city. Individual
work is being done to convince them
that San Francisco should have the
exposition. but some OF them intimate
they will be guided by the sentiment
of their districts.
Oranges for Charity
Mrs. A. Scott Jr. and Mrs. Augustus
F. FechteIer. wife OF Captain Fechtsler,
mittee. distributed many cases Of
oranges today to the charitable insti-
tutions of Washington as Christmas
gift from California About 20 institu-
tions received oranges and hundreds OF
children have been made happy in con-
sequence.
Letters are coming to headquarters
expressing thanks for the kindness OF
the California Santa Clans
The Washington Timse today says:
when congress reconvenes after the
Christmas holidays it will consider a
compromise on the Panama exposition
question
LAS outlined today at the White
House. the compromise allows San
Francisco the oficiaI exposition COM
memorating the opening of the canal to
the worlds commerce in 1915; it allows
New Orleans to hold an exposition in
1918 to commemorate the completion Of
the lakes to the gulf deeper waterways
plan. and it allows Washington to hold
jubilee and carnival celebrating the
canals cornpletion
Congressman Favorable
~The compromise viii be offered and
there are members OF congress- who
think it a good solution
~The White House callers whox dis
cussed the situation declared that. the
interests here would agree to the idea
of a celebration at the national capital
rather than undertake to finance an
exposition. Already there Is a strong

WEALTHY DIPLCM
ARE Often SNOBS
If Government Supplied Resi-
dences Poor Men Might
Act as Ambassadors

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Jan. 15.-.The
most loathsome creature in the world
is a snob. Many men in our dipIo-
matte service succumb unintentionally
to the glamour of the refinement of
the world. They develop into snobs
simply because the president must
choose from a plutocratic class his
representatives in the great cities OF
Europe"
Thus spoke Frederick Townsend
Martin of New York. vice president of
the American embassy association, at
a meeting of the club last night.
Martin is in the west in an endeavor
to arouse interest in behalf of the
homes for ambassadors movement.
He undertook to point out that the
system of the United States OF sending
to foreign capitals men of wealth only
produced snobbery and arrogance.
h Clarence Jones, president of the
American embassy association, who is
accompanying Martin. spoke on the
commercial advantages of a govern
,ment establishment OF homes for am
bassadors.

Attack on Lloyd George

The most exciting scenes occurred
at Grimsby where a menacing crowd
threatened David Lloyd-George, chan
celor of the exchequer. compelling him
to fee from a hall where he had been
speaking, under police protection
much as he was driven from a pro
Boer meeting at Birmingham during
the South African war, when he es-
capped disguised as policeman.
Part of the hostility shown to-
ward him was caused by the chancel-
loTss course in addressing the voters
on polling day, which has never OBJ
tained IN England and which is consid-
cred by many unconstitutional. his
speech included a prediction of disaster
to the German feet if it fought the
British. Referring TO the invincibll1ty
OF the British navy, he declared:
If the German fleet in a moment Of
madness ever attacked Great Britain
it would be at the bottom of the Ger
man ocean in a very few hours"

The following from the Maxwell, Iowa

friends in this county. Mr.. Dustin is a
son of Mrs. John Cameron, of Lincoln

a block of the stock of the company first
of the year and thus becomes identified
as member of the firm rs we'll rs fore
man. This is the first time since the
establishing of The Tribune in Deem
Der, 1888, that Mr.. Shepherd has had a
man associated in the business with him
that was practiacl all around man,
and the transfer of stock is making no
material change in management or per-
sonelle of the office force he feels that
i'm a measure some of the responsibility
of business will fall from his shoulders
1t is true we have had practical men
associated with us, hut they We're only
employees, and we have had good men
holding stock of the company, but they
were not &c luainted with the practical
side of the business.
