TWO IMPORTANT ISSUES BE.
FORE CHAMBER.

At the suggestion of Charles W.
Darr, one of the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce, two local issues
of particular interest to the people of
Washington are to be discussed at the
next meeting of the Chamber, Feb
ruary IA.
One is a proposal that the Chamber
of Commerce lead a movement for a
reduction of rates for commercial tele-
phones and the other is a proposal
that the Chamber hold a prize essay
contest for the purpose of arousing
interest in and procuring the passage
of the bill requiring the street rail
ways to accept each others transfers
Both of these are live issues, which
may properly be dealt with by the
Chamber of Commerce. The transfer
question concerns every person in the
District, and is one of those things in
which the Chamber should interest
itself because of its character as the
peoples advocate.
The question of rates for commercial
telephones appeals more directly to the
members of thesChamber, because they
are practically all business or profes-
sional men who use telephones con-
stantly, and are vitally interested in
the cost of telephone service No mem
ber of the Chamber of Commerce
advocates an arbitrary reduction in
telephone rates, regardless of the effect
of such reduction upon the interests of
the company. But every member is
entitled to know whether the prevail
ing rates are just or excessive.
The Chamber of Commerce offers
him an opportunity to get this in
formation.
Mr.. Darr announces that at the
February meeting he will lay before
the Chamber information to show that
telephone rates in Washington are too
high. If he can produce substantial
evidence of this the Chamber of Com
merce will be performing a valuable
service to it's members and to the
if it conducts an inquiry,
with the ultimate purpose of bringing
the conditions to the attention of
Congress if it finds justification for
Mr. Darr's claims.

Oil Fuel for Warships
Is Growing in Favor

The Navy Department Is directing
more and more attention to the use OF
OIL as fuel for the warships. 1t will be
many a day, OF course. before oil sup
plants coal for this purpose. 1t prob
ably never will. But the Navy Depart
ment is developing its use as an auXili-
airy. In case of war the navy would be
able to use either oil or coal on many
of its vessels in a pinch.
An important step in this connection
Is the establishment by the Navy De-
partrpent of a number of depots for the
storage of oil along the Atlantic coast
Such depots will store both fuel oil and
gasolene, and they will be provided at
Bradford, r. l.; at Norfolk, Charleston,
Key West, and Guantanamo, Cuba.
Contracts have been let for the plants
at Bradford. Norfolk. and Charleston.
And a contract for the tanks has been
let for Key West. The oil tanks will
store 10000 gallons apiece, and the
gasolene tanks $1,000 gallons apiece.
1t is the purpose Of the Navy Depart
ment to draw on the oil supply fnthese
tanks only when the needed oil canno
be obtained from commercial sources.
The storage depot supply would be a
den outbreak of war.
How extensively the Navy Depart
ment is using oil for fuel Is not gener-
ally realized. 1t is being used on twen
ty-one torpedo-boat destroyers, and on
two of the big battleships in commits
sion. Four of the battleships now
building will be fitted for using oil. and
so will the one which is contracted for.
The new battleships have oil-burnng'
boilers as well as coal-burning boilers.
and either one could be used in emer-
gency. No storage depots have been
provided for the Pacific coast or the
Philippines, because the sources of
commercial supply there are numerous.

Woman Wins Damage
Suit Against Another

WHITE PLAINS. n. Y. Jan. IA
Grace Raymond. a school teacher of
Mt. Vernon, who sued Mrs. Naomi
Duncombe Ring. also Of Mt Vernon,
for $4,000 for alleged slander. has
secured a verdict of $4,000 from the
jury. The jury had been out all night
This case attracted much attention
in the county. as both the women are
well known. The trial OF the cause
began on Wednesday last and has
continued every day since. This is the
second time that Miss Raymond has
obtained verdict against Mrs. Ring.
The first trial was about two years
ago when she received a verdict of
$4,000, but this verdict was set aside
on the ground of newly discovered
evidence. in the form of letters, and
a new trial was ordered.
Miss Raymond alleged that she and
Mrs. Ring met on the street in Mt
Vernon. and a quarrel followed Miss
Raymond alleged that Mrs. Ring used
vile language to her. and this was
corroborated by witnesses

Speaker Had Planned Coup
for Champ Clark Next
December.
HOPED TO RECEIVE
OWN VINDICATION
Members Admit House Is HELPLESS
on Amendment of
Rules.

Instead of being immensely pleased
because Representative Fuller of Hi.
nois brought about a situation in the
House last Wednesday whereby the
members were enabled to reverse their
action Of a year ago regarding the con-
stderation of the rules, Speaker Cannon
is chagrined.
1t was learned today that Mr.. Fuller
had unconsciously stolen a piece OF
thunder which Mr.. Cannon had planned
to turn loose in the House next Decem-
Der. when he is a member of the mi
nortty party and when Champ Clark is
In the chair as Speaker.
Mr.. Cannon has been distressed about
the manner in which he was Inundated
by the insurgents and Democrats near
ly year ago. He has maintained that
there was no justification for reversing
him when he ruled that an amendment
to the rules could not be considered at
any time a member saw At to rise in
his place and demand consideration of
such an amendment. In this he Is in
accord with nearly every member of the
House, Republicans and Democrats, in
surgentS and regulars.
To Try Clark's Mettle.
Being convinced that the establish
ment of such a precedent was not only
humiliating. but that IT was dangerous,
the Speaker had decided that shortly
after the organization OF the Democratic
House, next December, he would try
the mettIe of Champ Clark and his
Democratic followers.
He intended to rise in his place one
day early in the session, offer an amend
ment to the rules. and demand its i'm
mediate consideration as a matter Of
constitutional privilege. in support OF
which he would cite the action of the
House on March II, 1910. when it over
ruled him, and declared that such an
amendment could be considered at any
time.
The Speakers object in postponing
such an amendment until the next Con-
gress was for the purpose Of obtaining
q public vindication OF his own ruling
az the hands Of the party which made
possible the success of the insurgents.
Plan Assault on Rules.
That is now out OF the question. but
Speaker Cannon and his friends have
not by any means abandoned their fight
on the rules OF the House, and shortly
Mr.. Cannon, aided by Representative
Mann. OF Illinois, and a number of
others, will begin a series OF assaults
on the rules for the purpose Of demon
strating that they are ineffective, and
for the additional purpose Of embaras-
sing the Democrats who aided the insur-
gents in the rules fight of year ago.
In this connection a member Of the
Rules Committee today made the state
ment that the House is as helpless in
the matter of amending the rules as II
vas a year ago. This condition, It is as
serted, is due to the deliberate action
of Republican and Democratic leaders
in framing the resolution authorizing a
discharge OF committees so that II does
not apply to the Committee on Rules.
AS a result OF this condition the House
has no way to amend the rules, or TO
consider resolutions amending the rules
unless the Rules Committee sees At TO
reI ort such a resolution to the House.

lNVADES THE
d. A. r. RANKS.

The certainty of death and taxes is
blind chance compared to the foregone
conclusion that the election of q presi-
dent general of the Daughters of the
American Revolution will add few
wrinkles to the front of war.
When the Druses have been ami
hilated and st. Louis has quit making
faces at Chicago and Castro has given
bond to keep the peace that portion
of the public which lives on excitement
discovers that the election of the D.
A. r. is about due and its heart grows
glad. Washington prepares herself for
more thrills than she has felt since
she was burned by the British.
The Scott Fairbanks feud is to be
duplicated, except that these factions
have now combined to oppose Mrs.
William Cumming Story, of New York,
who stood fair chance of election
until she identified herself with the
suffragist movement. Now the rights
of women are to be mixed up with
the pride of birth. Ancestral quar-
terings are to be complicated with a
militant propaganda which asks and
takes no quarter.
There are ardent suffragists among
the members of the d. A. r. who are
none the less opposed to dragging the
question into the patriotic organiza-
tion. "What is Emmsline to U.S." they
ask, "and what are we to Emmaline ?"
There are still others who care nothing
for woman suffrage and yet seize upon,

CONTROVERSY is NOT AL
WAYS A BAD THING.

Although the controversy between
the Board of Education and the Dis
trict Commissioners has been almost
contiguous performance for the past
year, there is no occasion for Wash
iRgtonians to feel bad about it.
The performances of Major Judson
and Captain Oyster, who have been
heaving fgurative bricks at each other
on an average of every fifteen minutes
since the dispute started, have caused
q great many people to think that the
interests of the public schools have
suffered, but this does not necessarily
follow.
Sometimes controversy is a mighty
good thing-and this seems to be one
of those cases. BY hunting for excuses
to criticise the Board of Education
the Commissioners have uncovered a
number of evils which have now been
corrected. On the other hand, the
Boards close scrutiny of the Commits
Eioners and their subordinates who
have to do with school affairs has
resulted in the discovery of other
evils, for which the Commissioners
were responsible, and these have been
remedied.
The mere fact that the Board of
Education and the District Commits
sioners have had a tilt over the admin
istration of public school affairs is no
justification for the fear that the
schools have suffered, or for the con-
clusion that our system of public
school management should be changed.
thus far the schools have been bene-
t1d in many important respects by
the controversy.

THE BURGLAR AND AN UN-
ARMED POLICE FORCE.

The recent tragedy ain London in
which three police officers lost their
lives and two others were severely
wounded in an effort to capture a
nest of alien criminals found a sen.
sauonal sequel in the pitched battle
in the east end of London last week.
In the midst of the discussion as
to the wisdom of arming the police it
is evident that they were armed
heavily for this special occasion and
told TO shoot. The thing which prob
ably strikes the American reader most
forcibly is TO learn, as he possibly
may for the first time, that the Lon
don Bobby" is not usually armed, ex.
cept with truncheon, and the con.
trast which this presents with the
sccoutrement of the American police
man is very striking.
II seems 10 be well established that
the native English burglar does not
60 armed, and the question is simply
one of dealing with the alien burglar,
who is more reckless of human life.
The law makes such wide distinction
between armed and unarmed burglary

Sheehan Will Succeed
Depew as u. S. Senator

That William F. Sheehan will be the
next Senator from New York to sue
ceed Senator Depew has been admitted
by Mayor William J. Gaynor. Sheehan
is the choice of Tammany, and Leader
Murphy has spoken out for him and
started for Albany. Mayor Gaynor, In
a letter. expresses himself strongly for
Edward NJ. Shepard, bur ne is credited
with saying that the indications favor
the election OF Sheehan. II Sheehan is
elected. Tammany will be placed in a
position OF even greater power than be-
fore in New York State politics.
In Iowa. Representative Harding, a
supporter Of Senator Young, has intro
duced a bill In the lower house for a
special Senatorial primary.
Reports from Wheeling are that John
T. McGraw and William Z. Chiffon are
in the lead in the Senatorial race in
West Virginia.
In Montana, the legislature took one
ballot Wednesday. 1t resulted in no
thirty-four Republican votes and the
Democratic strength was split mainly
between T. J. Walsh and w. G. Con-
rad.
In Florida. the count OF the primary
thus far indicates the choice of w. \.
BIount. with y. p. Bryan second. Only
two-thirds of the normal vote was
polled.
Representative William 4. Jones, Of
the First Virginia district, will soon
make his formal announcement as a
candidate for the Senate against Sena-
tor Martin. Carter Glass is looked on
as practically in the race against Sena-
tor Swanson. Jones and Glass are the
anti-ma chine candidates.

Of reelection by the action Of the

it joyfully as a particularly offensive
weapon of offense in factional fight.
The election of president general
will not take place for some time, but
these campaigns always begin just
where the previous election closes, and
by the time spring arrives one-half
of the first families of the original
colonies wouldn't lend the other half
button hook.
1t grows increasingly clear at every
election that the head of the d. A. r.
will yet have to be chosen by The
Hague Tribunal.
The Washington times., 1911-01-12

that the housebreaker does not, as a
rule, court the heavier penalty in
case of capture by going armed.
In this country it lie very properly
assumed, that a criminal who makes
forcible entry of house at night goes
prepared to do murder in case he is
cornered, and experience shows that
the assumption is well founded.
In England the preponderance of
opinion seems to be still in favor of
not arming the policemen, except in
special cases; but this hardly con-
vinces the average American that we
are wrong in arming our own police
force. If it were decided that in the
contest between burglars and the police
the contestants were to match wits
rather than weapons, a good many
valuable lives might be lost before
the criminals accepted the new terms.
The only practical lesson to be
learned on this side the water is the
necessity for restricting the owner
ship of the deadly revolver, which has
made US a nation of mankillers. The
American burglar, as we know from
is a man who will shoot,
and an unarmed police force would be
at a great disadvantage.

Apples His Lunch.

Leslie NJ. Shaw. formerly Secretary of
the Treasury, is in Washington for a
few days visiting bis old friends at the
Capitol and in the departments.
Shaw" said Cabinet officer, was
one OF the mysteries of the Roosevelt
administration. From the time he be-
came Secretary of the Treasury until
he went into the banking business we
were unable to decide whether he was
a second Russell Sage in the matter of
personal expenditures. 1 ran across
Shaw in a big Western city and for
the sake of spending a pleasant evening
together we got a suite of rooms at
the same hotel.
AT lunch time proposed that we go
down to the dining room. but Mr.. Shaw
could not be induced. He said he
thought he would eat in his room.
Thereupon the Secretary Of the Treas
ury opened up his travelling bag and
extracted couple OF apples. He Of
fered me one but declined and has
tened to the restaurant.
Cabinet officers who served with
Shan discovered that 1t was a regular
habit with him to fill his bag with
apples before starting on Journey"

Capital Tales
Passed on to Peary.

Representative Robert Bruce Macon
Of Arkansas has got himself head over
heels in trouble as a result OF his in
vestigation into Captain Peary's polar
explorations. day or two ago Mr..
Macon appeared in the room of the
House Committee on Naval Affairs with
his arms full of papers.
Describe the artificial horizon you
use in the Arctic ocean," demanded Mr.
Macon
What is an artificial horizon, Mr..
Macon?' demanded Representative Daw-
son of Iowa.
Don't you know" asked Mr.. Macon
Il do not" replied Mr.. Dawson. Il
wish the gentleman from Arkansas
would enlighten me-"
Captain Peary,' said Mr.. Macon,
please tell the gentleman from Iowa
what an artificial horizon is. While you
are doing so I will look through my
papers here"
Again and again members Of the COM
mittee asked Mr.. Macon to explain the
meaning of his questions, but Mr.. Macon
passed them on to Captain Peary.
