ADMIRAL DEWEY
IS IN FAVOR
OF ARBITRATION
But Doesn't Think United States
Should Advance Question
of Disarmament
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, March 1.-THE ad-
mlraI of the United States navy,
George Dewey in a statement to the
United Press. declares that he is in
sympathy with the arbitration views
Of Admiral Lord Charles Beresford,
leading authority of the British navy,
as given to the United Press in Lon
don. yesterday, but that he is not
sanguine of their realization for many
years to come.
Beresford was moved to speak by
the suggestion of President Taft IN
favor of arbitration and he said that
the United States was best qualified
to lead the way. Admiral Dewey,
however, made it clear that he does
not believe that the United States
should advance the question of dis
armament.
Arbitration is milking progress in
the settlement Of international ques-
tions," said Dewey, land 1 am for it
heart and soul. I do not believe,
however, that in our day we shall see
basis.
1.-THE policy we should pursue has,
I think, been best expressed by Gen.
eral j: Warren Keifer, of Ohio, when
he said:
"1n time, of peace prepare to
war or anything opposed to arbitra-
ton in that sentiment
Dewey &referred to Beresford's
statement that THE United States is
absolutely invulnerable," as COM
pliment to this country and said:
There always have been people in
this country ready to criticise the
United States navy and army in mag
aZine articles but that was the case
too at the beginning of the Civil war"
When asked about the reported
danger of Japan selling the. Pacific
coast through sudden attack the
admiral said:
cit would take Japan a year to
bring over 100000 men, but there is
no reason for them to do it. The
question of immigration appears to
have been settled to the general sat-
isfaction of both nations and there
are no other questions at issue. 7
regret to see that some men in Japan
seem to feel that their country did
not get it's just desert in the treaty"

ME ANNEXATION OF SUBURBS

Greater New York, through nearly or
community of interests. ETC., that an

rheile, Yonkers, East Chester and Pei

That annexation follows eventually.
II may be postponed for time, but
the tendency toward annexation grows
stronger constantly on both sides.
Boston. Chicago, Philadelphia-in fact.
all OF the larger cities-have annexed
suburbs. There are in it advantages
to the annexed territory which are not
otherwise attained.
The bin to be introduced in the New
York Legislature provides for refer
endum, and there Is a manifest pro-
priety IN 1t. Neither New York nor
any other city can, or does, desire
dlssentient population. 1t is. there
FORE, proper and right that the voters
OF towns proposed for annexation
should have a potential voice upon the
question, and that annexation should
only occur when the populative ma
fority favors it. The cities can afford
to wait. for 1t Is only a question of
time when annexation will appear de-
sirable to the voters of suburbs.
1t IS predicted that the bill provid-
ing for the annexation of a portion of
Etrarford to this city, now pending in
the General Assembly, win be rejected,
at the instance OF prominent citizens
or the town As, the bill contains a
provision for the referendum, the com

prehension is doubtless founded upon
knowledge that the annexation senti-
ment Il stronger than appears upon
the surface
The annexation proposed is as GER
tain to eventually occur, as is the
of certain Westchester
towns by Greater New York. 1t is
the natural and inevitable order of
things.

It Is estimated that the u. S. Senate

considerable changes in its member

ment with Canada AT least 25 of the
80 Republicans are expected to vote
in tn affirmative. with IS Of the 40
Democrats. Thls would give a ma
iority. The House will assuredly ac-
cept the agreement.
The only doubtful point relates to
amendments. Opponents of the agree
ment will endeavor to pass amendments
which will not be accepted by Canada,
in which event the entire matter fails,
and the attempt to obtain reciprocity
must either be abandoned or fresh
negotiations initiated 1t is exceed
ingly doubtful whether Canada, in
view of repulses on previous occasions,
would again enter into negotiations
Fiiibustering against the agreement
may be undertaken by it's opponents
in the Senate. This process can be
checked IL the Democrats and Pro-
gressives unite against it, but whether
such combination can be effected, is
as yet uncertain.
The agreement should, if possible, be
accepted without amendment or de-
lay. Those who antagonize it, are
men who do not desire competition of
any kind or degree Whatsoever in our
markets and who are really respon-
sible, in the greater part, for the high
cost of living which Expresses the
American people.

WEEKLY MARKET SUMMARY.
Rooseyelt's Statements Help Boost
Prices on Change.

New York, Nov. 1s.-Steady selling
Of long stocks TO obtain profits from the
recent extended advance gave the stock
market a heavy tone during the first half
of the week Toward its close sentiment
became more confident and prices began
to swing upward again There were sew
eral events which influenced the market
favorabIv and helped to bring about the
change Among them were the action of
the commerce court in staying the in
crease in intermountain freight rates de-
c44ed by the interstate commerce COM
mission. the showing made by Union
Pacific's annual report. the United States
circuit courts approval of the American
Tobacco reorganization plan and the de-
cision OF the department of justice not to
oppose the plan. Ex-President Roose-
velt's expression of views on the trust
question also was referred to as having
a stimulating effect on trading.
There were few changes in the indus
trial situation during the week. con-
tinuance of heavy buying of steel pro-
ducts by railroads was largely Offset by
backward movement in other branches
of the trade.

Bellwood, ILL.,, Nov. 1S.-As if his
name governed his actions, Frank Gay
attempted to throw a coffin containing
the body of his father-in-law out of a
second story window here, after having
a gay time in several saloons, and is
spending his first day in Jail today as
a consequence.
Gays father-in-Iaw died in hos

of it he is said to have drawn his pay
and visited the village barrooms. He
returned home about midnight and
finding the coffin there, announced his
intention of throwing it into the yard.
No one took him seriously until he
dragged it to a window and proceeded
to carry out the threat.
Mrs. Gay became alarmed and sum
moned the town marshal The officer
arrived just after the man had broken
two handles off the casket and found
window. Cav was arrested and sen
fenced to two months in jail.

CASTRO IS DEFEATED
He Has Been Conducting Revolution
in Venezuela.

London. Nov. 1S.-The Venezuelan
consul here received cable adviees to-
day from Caracas informing him that
ex-President Castro, at the head of a
considerable body of revolutionists, has
met with a disastrous defeat near San
CristobaI.
Castro's whereabouts has been a
matter of uncertainty for several
months The NenezueLa censors have
allowed little news Of him or of the
present revolutionary movement to sift
through. Dispatches from neighbor-
ing countries have made it evident that
a revolt of some seriousness was either
brewing or already launched. but most
of the advices have carefully insisted
that Castro had no part in the reported
uprising.
The most recent news on the sub
ject came from Willemstad, Curaco, on
Thursday last. This was that Castro
was residing on his estate at Cucuta,
Colombia, on the Venezuela frontier
Cucuta is less than so miles from San
Cristobal where Castro's defeat is re-

LOWER FREIGHT RATES
Considerable Reductions Ordered Be-

Washington, Nov. I8.-MateriaI reduc-
tons in class freight rates between Mis-
sissippi river and Missouri river cities
We're ordered today by the interstate
commerce commission. These reductions
will make proportionate decreases in
the class rates between Atlantic sea-
board points and Missouri river cities,
including Sioux City, Iowa.
The reductions ordered which must
be esta blished before Decem Der so, 1911.
are from so cents a hundred pounds on
first class traffic to So cents from -
cents to Al cents on Second-class from
So to % cents on third class; from q
to q cents on fourth-class, and from
% to 20 cents on fifth-class An average
reduction of IL cent a hundred pounds
is made on the lettered classes of
freight.
The commission finds that the rates
between the rivers, the Mississippi
and Missouri are unreasonable and dis
criminatory particularly as parts of
through rates from eastern points to
Missouri river destinations. Reparation
is denied by the commission.
