Plans for Retrenclment.

Washington, D. c., September Is
Sweeping plans for retrenchment
in governmental expenditures through
modernization of business methods
were today decided upon by President
Taft and his cabinet. The new plan
contemplates the creation Of a division
at the White House, the duty OF which
shall be to keep the president in touch
with the work in all of the depart
ments. 1t is to be sort of clearing
house for business plans formulated
by commissions Of experts which are
to be appointed in each executive de-
partment to divise economies 1t was
announced that DR.. F. Cleveland, now
head of the Bureau of Municipal Re-
search in New York City, had been
chosen as chief of the White House
division.
Three other experts will be selected
shortly to assist DR.. Cleveland. Mean
while the head OF the department will
choose commissions OF three men each
to grapple with the problems in their
departments and devise economies.
In brief the new plan is an appllca-
ton to the government Of the business
methods Of big corporation.
Standardization of work throughout the
government is the ultimate end.
Under the plan now in effect, appropria-
tons are made blindly and often reck-
lcssly, and nobody can figure out just
what the government receives in work.
1t is now proposed to standardize the
work, change the system OF approprla-
ting, and lay bare the inner workings,
so that waste will he apparent and can
be stopped.
The commissions which each OF the
cabinet officers, will elect to devise
encomies in their own department, will
report to the White House division, II
one department hits upon scheme
which promises we'll the idea will be
extended to the other departments
through DR.. Cleveland's division.
1t is stated that the new plan does
not contemplate wholesale dismissals OF
government employees, but it is ad-
admitted thot this may follow. The
idea is to make the clerks more eff
cient.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

Yesterday was Young's day to be
heard in Norfolk in connection with
the democratic congressional primary
investigation and he spoke through his
counsel in no uncertain way. 1t was
his first hearing.
Filing with the investigating commit
tee his reply to charges that have been
made by counsel for the people and for
Maynard, which, If proved, wonld
more than wipe out his small majority
,on the face OF the returns, he not only
entered a general denial OF these, but
made sweeping charges OF corruption
affecting the vote received by Maynard
in Portsmouth and the counties OF Nan
scmond, Isle OF Wight and Southamp-
ton, where Maynard maiorities were
overwhelming.
He charged that in Maynard's home
ward in Portsmouth four dead men
were voted; that 43 persons had been
permitted to vote in the ward who had
no right to and that Is were recorded
as having voted who did not. In other
wards of the city it is charged that large
numbers who did not vote we're record
ed as voters, and that many others were
permitted TO vote who had no right to.
There were also some dead and missing
among. them. Allegations OF fraud in
the counties were numerous and were
usually startling.
Maynard also filed supplemental
charges yesterday, as did counsel for
the citizens. The former AYERS that
sos persons were permitted to vote in
the First, Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh wards OF Norfolk who
we're not entitled to vote, as they had
not paid their poll taxes; that of the
total number who voted in the First
Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
wards OF Norfolk 312 Of them do not
appear in the city directory OF 1910.
The time for filing charges is now
over, and commencing tomorrow the
sponsors for the wholesale charges OF
fraud and corruption that have been
made will have to prove their cases.
The investigating committee, with
Major Mcintyre in the chair, ruled that
it could not force Maynard and Young
to file statements OF their election ex-
penses, as is required by law, which
was asked by the counsel for the citi-
zens. Both candidates refused to file
them

Seismic Disturbances.

Phoenix, AriZ., Sept. 2S.-Great alarm
is felt at Flagstaff and the surrounding
country over the seismic disturbances
which have continued there for several
days.
Indians and other inhabitants OF the
country are in state OF terror and many
have fled.
The center of the disturbances is near
the Grand Canyon, where the tremors
have been quite violent. The territory
in that vicinity is volcanic, and nearby
are the numerous craters of an extinct
volcano While these have shown no
activity, the natives are alarmed over
manifestations. The tremors in several
places have loosened volcanic rocks in
the mountains, starting them down the
mountain sides at tremendous speed.
Scientists assert that the disturbances
are not really earthquakes, but merely
indicate the slipping Of the earth's crust
in that vicinity.

from Mayor Gaynor:
st. James, Sept. &c, 1910.
Dear Mr.. Creelman:
| am this day writing letter to
Chairman Dix stating that am not Il
candidate for nomination for governor
and refuse to become such. | do this
to remove all doubt on the subject
which may have arisen by reason OF ir-
responsible statements which, | am in
formed, are being circulated. No ut
terance OF mine has put the matter in
doubt. Some have said to me that the
convention may nominate me although
| am not a candidate.
1t seems to me that it might appear
vain or egotistical for me to assume in
my letter to Mr.. Dix that that extra
ordinary thing might happen. / there
fore write this supplemental letter to
you to take to Rochester and show
there, so as to prevent my nomination
If it should appear to be imminent.
Make it plain that if nominated | would
decline to accept.
I could not abandon to their fate the
splendid men whom have appointed
to office and who are working so hard
for good government, nor could !
abandon the people OF the city OF New
N/rl- n flor %, short q Sorvinp
You may make this letter public in
advance OF going to Rochester if, in
your judgment, you think the situa-
ton calls for it.. But do not do SO unless
it be plainly necessary. Every honest
man vii. understand me. Sincerely
yours.

Cadets stand Pat.

West Point, N. Y. Sept, 2S-For the
fourth consecutive day since the cadet
corps of the West Point Military
Academy was put under arrest fol
giving the silence ito Captain Longan,
instructor in tactics, that body con-
tinued to stand pat.
Toa man the men still refuse to iii
vulre to the court of inquiry the names
Of the cadets who instigated the lent
treatment, as well as the reasons why il
was administered.
The return Of General Barry, who Is
in command of the academy, has failed
to alleviate the practical insubordina
ton that now exists. He at once ap
proved of the action Of Major Sibley in
placing the entire student body under
arrest. The court yesterday eXamined
thirty more cadets and today was still
slImmoning them. The court is now
concentrating its efforts on getting the
names of those who instigated the
silence" To meet this, it is declared
the cadets have adopted n uniform pol
lev of testimony. They tell the court
when the silence was administered
they merely saw several other cadets
doing it and so joined in the treatment
themselves Not one of the cadets
has admitted premeditated conspiracy
From the cadets point Of view, the
most serious result of their arrest is the
fact that confinement to barracks has
put an end to all football practices. This
will necessitate the calling off in all prob
ability of the game scheduled Saturday
with the University of Vermont and
may interfere with some Of the more
important games scheduled for later in
the season.
