KILL MADER0
FRUSTRATED BY ARREST OF
LEADERS ON EVE OF DAY FIXED
FOR MURDER OF PRESIDENT.

Mexico City, Dec. ia conspiracy
to assassinate President Mader) anc
proclaim a private presidency pending
the coming of General Reyes TO the
capital to assume the office of presi'
dent, has been frustrated at the last
moment, in the opinion of the author
ties by the arrest today of General
Higino Aguilar ard Melton Hurtado,
of the federal army and score of CO.
conspirators.
The plan, learned of from CORE
spondence and documents found in the
possession of the prisoners, was com
plete in all details. Madero was to
have been shot from balcony of the
Reforma hotel, in Avenida de Lare'
forma as he rode from Chapultepec to-
morrow morning. During the coniu-
sion, which this would create, the con-
spirators, who called themselves the
independent constitutional army,
were to swoop down upon the national
palace. kill or seize the ministers and
take possession in the name of Reyes.
The secret police were noncommif'
tai as to the kind of evidence tney
may have acquired, further than that
the conspirators had been recruite |
from suburban towns and the sur
rounding country.
Upon assumption of power by Reyes,
all Maderistas and cientificos were to
be eliminated from the government
and their property was to have been
confisCated together with all the
wealthy class not in sympathy with
the movement.

Toxic, Japan, Dec. 1S.-A naval pro-
gram calling for the expenditure of
S175. 100000 in the next seven Years
will be submitted to the Diet today
and will certainly be passed, as it has
the approval of the Mikado. The pro-
gram provides for the laying down Of
five first-class battleships of 10000
tons each, with 14,inch guns, during
the next two years, and many smaller
craft.
Vast sums will also be spent by
Japan in the coming year for army
extension and improvement. There is
we'll defined belief in diplomatic cir

naval activity of the Japanese govern

up China. Japanese officials believe
that Chinese affairs will soon reach a

GREAT REFORMS IN OUR NAVY:
SEC. THOROUGH BUSINESS MAN

nov benefited by the naval stations
are against any plan which will rob
them of these benefits. They have
already appealed 10 congress through
their local representatives and sena'
tors . prevent the execution OF the
secretary's designs, and no action
is at this time possible. The house
and senate will have to be per
suaded before they approve the Mey
er concentration plan.
On the other hand organized labor
is against the Taylor system OF
shop management and against any
similar system. The unions argue
that this system hhas but one OBJ
iect and that is to reduce the amount
of labor needed in the government
plants and thereby result in econo-
mics. Otherwise, they say it would
not be useful to the government.
They do not care if scientific man
agement increases the wages of the
laborers who remain on the pay rolls
rolls. They want work for as many
men as possible.
The other big organization idea OF
the present head of the navy depart
ment contempiates the subordination
of the present bureau system to
three or four aides to the secretary.
Mr.. Meyer has had an opportunity
to study the practices of the bu-
reaus in administration and he does
not like the results. He thinks the
bureaus are too independent OF each
other to effectively cooperate for
the best interests of the service
Having reached this conclusion Mr.
Meyer has already started reorgan
ization of the administration of the
department. He has ordered three
of the leading officers Of the navy
to act as his personal staff. One
of them is aide for constructions,
another aide for operations, and an.
other aide for personnel. Even now
these three officers with the support
of the secretary practically run the
navy
Mr.. Meyer now proposes that con
gress legaliZe the aide system. In
doing that the bureaus which have
in the past been allpowerful in naval
administration will become only di-
visions. They will be headed by
subordinate officers who will be
subject to the orders at all times
of the aides, all of whom will rank
as rear admirals.
SO far but little opposition has
exhibited itself in congress to this
reform. Some of the personal friends
of the bureau chiefs among the
congressman and senators are not
favorable to the changes recommends
ed, but they have not made their
opposition troublesome to the secre.

CBy Winfield Jones

Washington, d. c., Dec This
l.. undoubtedly day OF REFORMS IL
the army and navy Of tn. Iaiici
States. Great changes hae been
made IN the fighting force Of both
services since the war wifA Spain
and other changes are to come. Per
maps the most radical are tIJse pro,
posed for the navy.
The present secretary OF the navy
is pre-eminenjly business man. He
believes in running a department OF
the government upon the same bus
mess basis that a private institu.
tion should be run. He has failed
to see why the navy should Oe made
an adjunct for instance-to some
local community's life.
Many legislators and private indi
viduals have sought TO reason with
him and tried to convince Aim that
he was mistaken in this view, but
he still holds ont.
Just now Secretary Meyer proposes
two reforms far more reaching in
effect and more sweeping IN charac.
ter than ever conceived by any OF
his predecessors. In the first place
he wants the whole navy yard sys-
TEN overhauled. ana in the second
he wants the administration of the
department reyolutionized
More interest perhaps to the peo.
pie at large is the plan nov offered
for the concentration of all the navy
yards in the country into three
great naval stations, This of course
means the abandonment Of all the
smaller yards.
As now outlined the secretary
wants to establish one great naval
station on Narragansett Bay and to
to enlarge the one now on Hampton
Roads at Norfolk, and he wants to
increase the size and importance of
the one now at Mare Island, San
Francisco All others he wants eth
er abolished entirely or eye reduced
in Importance.
A few auxiliary yards are to be
kept open under this plan, of course.
That at Guantanamo, at Key West,
and at Cavite, p. l., must he main
tanned for small repairs and for dock
ing vessels. That at Charleston,
might be useful for torpedo sta
tion, but all others are to go.
The New York yard, the yards at
Boston, Philadelphia, Portsmouth, Sc
attic and San Diego, are to be sold.
The yards at Pensacola and New
Orleans have already been render.
ed useless by an order withdrawing
all work from them The New Or
leans and Pensacola yards are now
in the hands of the caretakers
And in the new yards it is the
purpose of the secretary to put into
effect either the Taylor system OF
scientific management, or else some
system as nearly like it as may
prove adaptable to tn- navy.
Some time ago the secretary sent
a commission OF naval officers to
England to make a study OF the
methods of naval shop management
there. This commission returned
and has prepared recommendation
that are very much in line with the
Taylor system Norfolk has been
picked by the secretary as the
place to try ont tine new system,
and if it proves valuable, ii will
soon be installed in every yard now
operated by the government.
