CABINET OFFICERS AND THE
ADMINISTRATION.

Secretary Dickinson, it Is very posi-
lively stated, VIII not retire from the
Cabinet because Of the disagreement
between himself and President Taft
concerning the condition of national
defenses Likewise, Secretary Bal
Iinger viii not retire despite that Pres
ident Taft in his message announces
their disagreement on the most impor-
tant present phase Of conservation
policy
Under the precedents concerning
Cabinet constitution and conduct in
this country, there Is no reason why
these gentlemen should retire. It has
never been established in our system
that Cabinet officer should retire
when he and his chief differ. The Cab
met officer Is presumed to surrender OF
modify his views at the point Of dif-
ference, bring his acts into a harmony
which his conNictions do not warrant
with the policy OF the Administration,
and 60 ahead.
Cabinet officers do not do it that
way in other countries It is only a
few days since the French premier re-
signed, taking his entire cabinet out of
Office with him, because some of his
official family were unable to agree
with certain Of his views. When the
cabinet was reorganized, the dissent
ing members were left out In Great
Britain it would be utterly unthink-
able that Secretary BaIIInger should
remain IN the Cabinet, In view of what
President Taft wrote in the recent
message
Making the matter entirely imper-
sonaI, and considering only the gen
sral policy best calculated to get re-
suits, it seems that the British method
would be preferable to ours. In Brit
ain, far from being a reflection on a
minister to be forced out of the gov
eminent by reason OF a divergence of
opinion, 1t is the accepted, strsightfor-
ward, honorable custom The minister
maintains his self-resPect. He as
sumes that his convictions are worth
more than his portfolio. He makes
assurance possible that the govern
ment VIII possess the fact as well as
the aPpea- anee OF solidarity in support
of its program
It ought TO be distinctly the honor
able and laudable thing for minister
TO retire when he Is out of harmony
with the government. Our whole
method sets too much store by the Of
fee, too little by the convictions of
the Official Our method inevitably
leads 70 trimming and compromises
which sre unfortunate
We need frank recognition that de-
feat Is not dishonorable- The purpose
Of an election, for instance, ought TO
be to determine the sentiment of a
constituency. Candidates ought 70

RELIEF FUND At ONCE
Mayor Urges Money Be Paid to
Bank for Immediate
Benefits

The committee appointed by Mayor
Alexander 10 disburse the funds COL
lected for the relief of families of
Times explosion victims held a pre-
liminary meeting in the office of the
mayor yesterday morning and then
adjourned to LeVy's, where it perfect
ed an organization at luncheon. The
committee is composed of the Rev.
Dana w. Bartlett, c. o. Hawley Ar
thur Let's, D. A. Hamburger and II.
w. Frank. Dr. Bartlett was elected
chairman and G. o. Hawley secretary.
No money was disbursed, because
so little has been turned in to the
treasurer, which is the First National
bank. There Is large amount of re-
lief money being subscribed, but the
subagencies are holding it instead of
turning it in to the First National
bank. Both Mayor Alexander and the
relief committee yesterday asked that
this money be turned in to the bank
so it can be appropriated, as some of
1t is badly needed. The checks are to
be signed by DR.. Bartlett and Mr..
Hawley and countersigned BY Mr..
Frank A strict account will be kept
of every penny disbursed.
1t is intended to give out checks Tor
$50 at first as an immediate rellef
fund and then to make careful IN
vestigation before turning over any
more money.
The committee stated emphatically
yesterday that this money will be dis
bursed only to those who were de-
pendent on the men killed in the dis
aster. Not one cent will be given to
third cousins or other distant rela-
tives who were not supported by the
victims. No one has any claim on

San Francisco Police

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 7.-Attorney
Earl Rogers, in charge of the investi-
cation in the case of the dynamiting
Of the Los Angeles Times building, left
tonight for Los Angeles.
Before leaving he said things had
taken such a turn that his presence is
needed In the south, and that for the
next few days at least he will devote
his time TO that end of the case.
"The work in San Francisco and the
surrounding country is not completed"
said Rogers, "but 1t is in such con-
dition at this time that the San Fran
CISCO police are we'll able to handle
matters"
n was learned by the police tonight
that a man answering the description
of one who arranged for the purchase
of the explosive from the Giant pow
der works and who is known to the
authorities as the man with the bad
eve" called at the store of a local
hardware firm in the Mission district

MAYOR OFFERS TO
ARBITRATE STRIKE
Secretary of Employers ASSoCia-
ton Says There Is Moth
ing to Discuss

That the Metal Trades workers
strike, which has been on for more
than four months in this city, may be
amicably settled through Mayor Alex
ander, who yesterday offered his serV-
ices as arbiter should either side
submit a proposition as a basis for ar
bitration, is possible.
When the subject of arbitration was
broached to w. B. Hoswell, secretary
of the Founders and Employers as
socation, 204 Bryson building, he said
he had not conferred with any of the
employers vitally interested in the
strike. He advanced the opinion that
he could not see that the employe. s
had anything to arbitrate.
We have plenty of men to do our
work. The union men struck for high
er pay and shorter hours, which we
felt that we could not concede. | can't
see that we have anything to arbi-
trate."
Mr.. Hoswell attempted to reach sew
eral of the employers last night, but
failed. However, he was of the opinion
that they would take his view of the
situation.
AS soon as the strike leaders heard
of Mayor Alexanders willingness to
act as arbiter in the matter, they
called a meeting Of the leaders, which
was held in the New Baltimore hotel
last night, to consider the matter ana
arrange plans to cooperate with the
mayor.
After the meeting, which was at
tended by o. A. Tveitmoe, John ]. No
Ian, Andrew ]. Gallagher and George
Gunrey, secretary and treasurer of the
present strike, the statement was CIV
en- out that the strikers would be will
ing to meet the employers more than
half way in a conference. Gunrey
said: A." l|
1--WE have had a meeting in regard
to the proposed conference between
the strikers and the employers, in
which Mayor Alexander has been pro-
posed as arbiter, but we feel that we
have not a definite statement to make
on the subject tonight. However. you
can state that we are willing to meet
the employers in a conference any time
and will concede to more than they to
reach a settlement"
Nov, don't miscOnstrue that state
ment," broke in Tveitmoe. I'VE are
willing to confer, and we are willing
to meet then more than half way,
but don't think for moment that we
have to take anything that they offer"
The strike leaders will convene again
today in Labor temple, when the mat
ter will be discussed further and def
mite steps taken.

bv the detectives, who hoped to get
trace of the men who placed the eX-
plosive, but SO far their inquiries nave
not borne fruit.
The officers thought they had found
a real clew when a rooming mousse
the Hotel Brennan, 5251a South MAIN
street-more than seven blocks from
the scene of the explosion, was inves-
tigated and the detectives found the
names OF John b. Bryson and f. ID.
Leonard. jr, written on the register
AS these are names similar TO the
ones given by the men who purchased
the explosive from the Giant COM
pany, the officers believed they We're
on the trail. A further investigation
however, revealed the fact that the
men are ranchers living near Santa
Ana.
This is the nearest the officers nave
come to striking the trail.
BOAT MYSTERY AT ENsENADA
1t is understood that two suspicious
persons disembarked from a small
boat at the town of Ensenada, Lower
California, several days ago, and are
being shadoWed by the Mexican police.
This rumor has not been confirmed,
but the police, it Is understood, believe
the arrest of the men may lead TO a
solution of the explosion mystery.
The relief fund for the families or
the men who went down to their death
in the fierce flames that followed the
explosion is growing steadily. Nearby
towns are contributing nobly, and lists
are being started in almost every town
in Southern California. Pasadena has
started a fund which the citizens OF
the place declare will reach the $4,000
mark
The work Of removing the debris
from the wrecked building Is progress
ing rapidly. A huge swinging crane
is being utilized and the warped GRID
ers are being taken out as fast as the
cars can be furnished to carry them
away. The broken brick and charred
timbers are also being taken out and
are loaded on fiat cars with the
warped iron.
No bodies were removed yesterday,
but It is believed that there are four
or five somewhere in the ruins.
DYNAMITE EXPERTS BUSY
Dynamite experts are examining
each piece of twisted steel that is
taken from the building, and copious
notes are taken so that the exact ma
ture of the explosive used may be de-
termined when the place is cleared.
Workmen are engaged in removing
the north wall of the building, which
is said to be unsafe and menace to
the men working in the ruins.
At the central police station squad
of reserves is kept in readiness to an
swer emergency calls, and all patrol
men still are on twelve-hour watches.
All suspicious persons are being
watched, new arrivals are closely
scanned and every effort is being made
to clear the town of undesirable char
acters who drift in.
with all their efforts it is generally
understood that the police are working
on blind leads. and the trail, if there
was any, is lost.
Police Sergeant stephen Bunner of
San Francisco left for that city last
night after several days passed here
in following up clews in connection
with the case.

SAYS HE FORGED CHECKS
TO PAY FOR OPERATION

Declaring that he forged checks in
order to obtain money to defray the
expenses Of an operation on his eyes,
Frank E. Manning, o conductor en-
ployed by the Pacific Electric company

Manning is alleged 10 have passed a
