TAFT GETS WILEY CASE;
DECISION IS DUE SOON
Impression Prevails That Secretary Wilson Has Urged
That Chemist Be Allowed to Resign.

consulted with the personnel COMMITTEES
in their investigation and determination
of the Wiley case. It has been expected
that Mr.. Wilson will be obliged to stand
firmly by the findings of that commit
tee.
Some of Secretary Wilson's friends
were busy yesterday explaining that the
President might reject Secretary VIII
sons recommendation, whatever IL may
be, without necessarily raising any
serious question between him and the
Secretary. The President, 1t was pointed
out. has distinctly reserved this right in
regard to departmental affairs.
II Mr.. Taft, however, decides to re-
tain DR.. Wiley in the face of recon-
mendation to the contrary by Secretary
Wilson, 1t would seem to leave Mr.. VIII
son in an almost impossible position, in
that he would be obliged TO retain as
head Of one Of the most important
bureaus in his department man whom
he will have officially declared to be
unfit.

COLORADO MEMBER
OUT FOR HARMON
A. w. Rucker Declares fol-
OhiO's Candidate.


Gov. Harmon, of Ohio. has firm sup
porter in Representative Atterson w.
Rucker, of Colorado.
Mr.. Rucker declares for Harmon be-
cause Of the latter's ability and integrity
and because he has carried Ohio against
Taft. He thinks there was great signih-
canoe in the extraordinary personal VIC
tory won by Harmon In 1910. which swept
along with It into the House of Repre-
sentatives sixteen Democrats out of the
States delegation of twenty-one.
What about William J. Bryans omis-
sion Of Harmon from his list Of avail
ables?'' Mr.. Rucker was asked.
oh, WELL" responded the Judge. "any-
thing else was hardly to be expected.
Bryan's fetch Of free raw material would
defeat him or any other candidate who
would accommodate himself to the
Bryan view, because fully one.third of
the voting population is against that
doctrine. No man west Of the Missouri
River can expect to carry vote In the
convention who is IN favor of that doc
trine. Then Mr.. Bryan has not forgotten
nor forgiven the fact that Harmon was
a member of the Cleveland Cabinet at
tending to his duties while he was cam
paigning for President"

Beall, "a transcript of the minutes noted
at that dinner. You made a speech there
in which you declared in substance that
We are all interested In the maintenance
of prices Does 1t not indicate that
prices were discussedr
Generally speaking. prices were touch
ed upon at the January dinner" answered
Mr.. Huston. The witness was asked IL
he attended the Gary luncheon IN New
York on May 4. He replied in the affirm
ative. Asked IL price subjects came up
at that affair. the witness responded In
the negative.
AFTER that luncheon Judge Gary issued
a price list on iron and steel products;
have you conformed to that list in the
sale of your commodities since them?
queried MIR. Beall. Mr.. Huston replied
that in the main his company had fol-
lowed the Gary list referred to, except
in the case of commodities upon which
certain competitors quoted lower figure
The Lukens Iron and Steel Company
was one of the parties to the United
States Steel Plate Association formed
in 1900 The contract under which this
organization operated, produced at yes
terday's hearing, is regarded by Chair
man Stanley as the big find of the pending
investigation. Mr.. Huston testified yes
terday that he participated in confer
ences in New York that led to the forma-
ton of the plate association. Others VINO
took part were Charles NJ. Schwab, Will
is l.. King, and others representing the
eleven companies concerned Those con-
ferenses, according to the witness, were

One Hundred Dreadnoughts.

Exactly 100 battle ships of the Dread
nought type are now built, building, OF
ordered for the navies of the world
thirteen nations being interested. The
first Dreadnought was begun in 1905
In the current year, no fewer thar
thirty-three of that type are building
or to be built The increase of the
participants in the Dreadnought race
is also notable. In 1905, Britain prac-
tically had the field to herself, the
United States joining in the year fol-
lowing. Germany and Brazil followed
in 1907, giving England two years
start. The year 1909 saw the advent
of Spain, Italy, and Russia. Last year
France, Austria, and Argentina laid
down their first ships of that class, and
during this year Turkey and Chile are
joining the Dreadnought powers.
Of the 100 now building, built, or to
be begun this year, England and Ger
many share more than half Britain's
total is thirty, besides two building for
oversee service. Germany takes twenty
one. Austria and Italy each will have
four Dreadnoughts under construction
by the end of the year, so that the total
in the Triple Alliance is twenty-nine
as against Britain's thirty-two, which
virtually means but twenty-nine, be-
cause three of the ships, including the
East Indies flagship, are not to be
counted upon for European service
But when it comes to Dreadnoughts
already completed, it must not be over
looked that England has fourteen
Dreadnoughts completed as against only
six for the Triple Alliance.
The United States holds third place
among the Dreadnought powers with a
total of twelve ships of that class. Next
comes Japan, which, with an extensive
programme of five Dreadnoughts fol-
this year, has raised her total to seven
France has not yet put down a single
all-big-gun ship.
Some of the differences between the
individual ships are worthy of note
The largest completed Dreadnought and
also the most powerful is the German
battle ship Thuringia, displacing 2a,Soc
tons and armed with twelve I2-incf
and fourteen o-inch guns. The most
costly of all the Dreadnoughts are the
Russian vessels. The original estimate
for these ships was $I4.oooooo, but ac-
cording 10 recent estimate by the
Russian minister of finance they will
each cost nearly 100000 more.

Prices Of steel and iron products were
discussed at one Of the Gary dinners
held In New York, all declarations to
the contrary notwithstanding, according
to A. +. Huston, Of Coatesville. Pa,
president Of the Lukens Iron and Steel
Company. who appeared as a witness
yesterday before the Stanley committee
on inquiry. Mr.. Huston was on the stand
about three hours. II was Just about
time for the committee to adjourn for
the day when Mr.. Huston told Of price
discussions at the Gary dinner held in
January, 1911, and at luncheon given
by the executive. head of the United
States Steel Corporation given on May 4
last. The evidence given by Mr.. Hus-
ton and w. c. Moreland, Of Pittsburg,
secretary of the Jones & Laughlin Steel
Company, tends to prove, in the opinion
of Democratic members of the commit
tee, that the eleven steel and iron COM
panies, among them the Carnegie COM
pany and other leading concerns in the
trade, which were named as parties to
the trust agreement introduced in evi-
dence Monday, operated for period of
five years, from 1900 to 1905, under an
agreement that amounted to a restraint
of trade.
Mr.. Huston was about to be excused
yesterday when Representative Beall, of
Texas, returned to the subject Of the
Gary dinners, which had been touched
upon earlier. Did you attend the Gary
dinner in January, 1911; were not trade
prices discussed on that occasion?'
asked Mr.. Beall. The witness replied in
the negative.

characteristic of the people of this
country"
With Congress inactive and the State
Department apparently unable to make
any progress in the satisfactory settle
ment of the question, the State legisla-
tures are not backward in expressing
American sentiment. Both of the two
leading political parties have, in the
past, referred to the exclusion in gen.
eral terms in their platforms. but the
declaration was merely vote-seeking
proposition. 1t amounted to nothing as
a practical relief.
Now, however, there seems to be a
widespread public sentiment which de-
mands action. With the legislatures
going upon record and a demand made
upon the political parties for something
more than words, even Russia may
come to the conclusion that the SUBJ
ject cannot indefinitely be treated with
indifference

Germany and Morocco.

There is not, as yet, any talk about
arbitrating the Moroccan difficulty.
Germany has demanded, according to
the latest reports, a considerable por-
ton of the French Congo as a CON-
pensation for relinquishing claims upon
Morocco. When it is remembered that
Germany has not the slightest founda-
tion for these claims, the demand seems
preposterous. 1t is made in such fash
ion, however, that England and France
are much perturbed.
Germany already has many colonies
III East Africa. If it can secure more
territory, so much the better for its
plans. Belgium, now controlling the
Congo Free State, does not offer a
serious obstacle 1t can be dealt with
in course of time. In the meantime,
however, Great Britain, with its large
interests, proposes to stand behind
France in the latter's refusal to admit
Germany's claim, and, in the last analy-
sis, Russia must take the same position
Under these circumstances, it is hardly
likely that Germany will insist upon its
proposition.
1t has already been shown, in pre-
Vious discussions of this subject, that
Germany has not the slightest hold
upon Moroccan territory. II was ig-
nored in the Algeciras convention, and
Its demonstration upon Agadir is now
! shown to have the Interior object OF
grasping territory which it has viewed
with envious eye. In the meantime, il
is fortunate that the United States has
nc concern in the quarrel We are
happily free from any entanglements.
We can, however, gain a foretaste OF
the diplomacy of foreign nations which
we must encounter when we enter upon
an era of universal arbitration.

Marketing.

The news coming from Newport that
the women of the aristocratic colony
propose to do their own marketing, in
order to see that everything bought for
their tables is properly weighed and
measured, does not seem credible. 1t
would mean that the millennium had
arrived, though it is, after all, not any
more than our great-grandmothers used
to do, if family tradition is correct.
However, there is homely truth and
sound economy for the housewife in all
circles of society in the hint from New
port. The art of marketing is we'll
worth cultivating. Servant tipping
would be done away with and the cost
of living reduced. The presence of the
purchaser is the best safeguard against
fraud in quantity and quality.

VAIN EFFORT TO
FATHOM DELAY
No Explanation Regarding
Controller Bay Inquiry.

Representative Burke, Of South Dakota,
yesterday endeavorod to learn why the
Controller Bay inquiry has been so sud
denly abandoned. The meeting of the
Committee on Expenditures in the In
terror Department. held yesterday, was
called by Chairman Graham to begin an
inquiry into conditions on the White
Earth Indian reservation in Minnesota.
But Mr.. Burkes line OF question ad-
dressed to the chairman in a vain effort
to unravel the mystery surrounding the
discontinuance of the Controller Bay
hearing delayed the other Investigation
for an hour.
When Mr.. Burke expressed the hope
that the inquiry would not be delayed
until next fall, Chairman Graham cleared
his throat. gazed refectively at the cell
ing for few moments, and then inform
ed Mr.. Burke. in carefully chosen words.
that the committee didn't propose to do
anything for some months except COM
plete its documentary records in the Con-
troller Bay case
But Mr.. Burke was insistent. He re-
cited the sensational charges which had
been made, the fact that witnesses had
been summoned, called attention to
claims filed upon the land, and asked
that the searchlight be turned on.
After another long pause for reflection.
Chairman Graham answered: ITO turn
the searchlight on matter as involved
as this" said he, takes time, and II 1
have my way I propose to sec that all
necessary time is allowed, and that every
hole and crevice is reached by the search
light. But this inquiry must be made
in an orderly fashion, and in order to
do that all the documentary evidence
must be included in the committees rec
ord OF the case"
Having failed to extract any inforna-
ton from Chairman Graham, concern
ing the motives actuating the commit
tee in dropping the inquiry, Mr.. Burke
sighed YEARLY and discontinued his ques-

TAFT GREETS THIRTY-SK
YOUNG GLOBE TROTTERS
San Francisco Boys Invade Capital and Are Received
at White House-Group Picture Taken on
Treasury Steps,

Thirty-six khaki-clad globe trotters,
the Columbia Park Boys Club, of San
Francisco, made Washington yesterday
under the leadership of Maj. Sidney S.
Peixotto. After extensive travels abroad,
one of the annual excursions taken by
the club. the lads entered Washington for
a two-day stop, coming from Baltimore
under escort from a section Of the Boy
Scouts of the Monumental City.
The detachment, which comprises the
brass band of the San Francisco or
ganization. reached Washington at 1880
O'Clock and Immediately were taken un-
der the protecting wing of the house
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
and Thomas Grant, the Chambers Sec
retary.
After disembarking from the electric
train at Fifteenth street and New York
avenue, the detachment marched over to
the Treasury steps, where a group pic
ture was taken of the San Francisco and
Baltimore detachments. Representative
Kahn, of San Francisco, and the house
committee of the Chamber, consisting Of
George Y. Worthington, Ed Graham, and
George Schutt, and Secretary Grant.
Then the visitors marched to the Y. NJ.
|C. A. Building, where accommodations
had been prepared and where luncheon
was served.
At 2:30 Representative Kahn, the
Chamber representatives. and a number
of Y. NJ c.. A. and Boy Scout officials
accompanied the westerners for a brief
reception by President Taft in the East
Room of the White House. President
Taft complimented the lads on their ap-
pearance and on the initiative in making
such tours possible.
For the remainder Of the afternoon the
lads were the guests of the Chamber of
Commerce in an extensive sightseeing
tour. The instruments were brought
into action here for the first time and

Site for the Lincoln Memorial.

Potomac Park has been recommended
as the site for the proposed Lincoln me-
mortal. The Fine Arts Commission gave
consideration to other propositions, but
dismissed their claims with emphatic
brevity. The hill at the head of Six
teenth street did not afford sufficient
vista and lacks isolation; Fort Stevens
would not coordinate with any of the
chief monuments of the Capital; the
sites near the Capitol were Objectionable
from every point of view; a bridge
across the Potomac to Arlington would
be nothing more than an undigni1ed
highway, and the road to Gettysburg
would not come within the provisions
of 1.-THE act authorizing the erection of
the memorial.
1t was claimed on behalf of Potomac
Park that its large area would give a
peculiar distinction to the tribute to
Lincoln, and that the proximity of the
Washington monument would not be de-
terrent. The dignity of the memorial
would never be disturbed by the cree
ton of buildings in its vicinity. and the
fact that the ground can be treated in
a manner to harmonic with the artis-
tic structure is also emphasized. In
fact, no matter what personal prefer
ences may have existed in favor of
other places or other plans, the argu-
1nent of the commission in favor of
Potomac Park is SO convincing that it
will be generally accepted.
With the site selected, there should
be promptness in proceeding with the
work, in order that the long-delayed
tribute may be dedicated during this
generation.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
THE EARLIEST AMERICAN
COLLEGE.

In 1916 the King OF England
ordered the Bishop Of London to
collect money for college to be
founded in Virginia, and during
the next three years sum equal
to $500 was raised and sent
over for that purpose. In 1918 It
was ordained that the college
should be located at Henrico, and
10000 acres of land was allotted
for its endowment. This land
was to be rented to settlers. One
tenth Of the income was to be
used in educating Indians, and
nine -tenths in educating English
children. The London Company
donated a small sum for build
ing and a few books to start q
library. A good attendance was
assured, for 1851 children were
sent over from London, to be edu-
Gated in the new college. 1t was
also decided TO establish a pre-
paratory school at Charles City.
But before either institution got
under way the terrible Indian
massacre OF 1929 took place. in
which one-tweifth Of all the Eng
lish, settlers in Virginia were
killed. This put an end to ali
thoughts except Of personal safe
ty, and II 10 doubtful whether
any actual instruction was ever
given IN this earliest fprospec-
tive) American college.
