NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION.
NEWPORT NEWS UNOERB|D
Virginia Company Will Probably
Fail to Receive Contract for
New DreadnOught.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The Newport
News Sbipbuilding and Drydock Com
pany, OF Newport Nows, will probably
fail to obtain q contract for building
one OF the dreadnoughts in prospect.
It was underbid by two other COM
panies for the construction Of the Ok
lahoma and Nevada, authorized by the
last Congress.
The Newport News company, which
bid exceptionally low on TIVE Delaware,
the first OF the dreadnoughts, and was
the only bidder for the Texas q year
ago, failed to come within the fixed
limit OF sG,000,0C0 for hull and ma,
chinery.
The vessels are to be Identical and
practically sisters OF the New York aud
Texas, the last batsleships to be placed
under construction. They are to have
81 900 tons displacement and speed OF
POS knots and will carry a main bat
terry OF ten 14-inch guns.
The Fore River company agreed to
build one ship under class two, with
Curtis marine type OF machinery, Tor
So. $50, 900. Another bid, was 1T
S., 955, 900.
The New York Shipbuilding Com
PAW was the lowest bidder, offering to
take one ship under class two at 50,
90, 900.
The Newport News company asked
Sc, 45O. 600 for one ship under class one
or Sc, SOC, 900 for each OF two ships
under the same class.

DONOHOE WILL WAIT.
Willing to Hold Authorship 20 Days
Longer If Legislature
Wants Him.

Richmond, Jan. 5.--Although Cap
tain S. B. Donohoe, the State Auditor
of Public Accounts, is anxious 10 quit
public life and resume his duties as
editor OF the Fairfax Herald, he IS per-
fectly willing, if the Legislature so de-
sires. to remain at his present post un-
til his term OF the Office expires March
l, 1912.
It should not be understood, how
ever, that he is in any way candidate
or that he has decided to reconsider
his determination to step aside.
Whom Colonel Morton Marye died
the governor appointed Captain Dbno-
hoe as his successor to serve until thirty
days after the assembling OF the legis-
lature OF 1912. The appointment,
therefore. cannot extend beyond Feb
ruary 9th. whereas the term does not
expire until March list. i
Captain Donohoe, who is free from
affectation and spectacular methods, is
quite ready, il the General Assembly
so desires, to hold on for the remain.
ing tweaty days. But should this
course be adopted he will have to be
elected for the brief period in question.
Those who are candidates for the
position OF Auditor all aspire to fill the
Office for the full term. 1t would,
therefore seem the sensible thing to do
to keep Captain Donohoe in the official
harness until March 1st. And it is to
be regretted that he did not seek to be
elected for the full term, for he is q
most efficient and Jealous officer.

CHANCE IN FISHING LAW
Legislature Will be Asked to Keep
Fishermen Outside of the Vir-
ginia Capes.

Richmond, Jan. "a determined
fight is to be made at the coming SEES
sion OF the Legislature to amend the
laws regarding the catching OF men
haden in the waters of Virginia. 1t
is commended by the fishermen that the
menhaden drcdges are taking all the
food and other fish along with the
menhaden, the latter being used for
fer'ilzing purposes.
No disposition 10 interfere with the
operations Of the menhadcn fishermen
is shown, and il the intended law is
enacted it will mean that the boats
used in that industry will have to go
outside the Virginia capes before cast
ing their nets. No boat will be al.
lowed to take fish in the waters Of Nir-
ginia.
This law is in force in other states,
and it is proposed for the express par
pose OF saving to the people OF this
state the edible fish which have long
been famous in Virginia.
For some years, the claim is made,
fish have been growing scarce and
higher each succeeding year. This is
especially true after the boats are sent
out in the spring, following the run OF
shad.
A bill Of this sort was introduced at
the last session OF the General Assem-
bly,, but the fertilizer trust got hold OF
it and proceeded to defeat the measure
Since that time, however, there has
been au awakening on the part OF the
of the public, and the belief is that the
bill will be very much stronger this
time than two years ago.

H|TCHCOcK'S SPEECH.
Senator Hitchcock ASSailS President
Taft'S Arbitration
Treaties.

Senator Hitchcoc; tDem., Neb.)
held the attention of the Senate yes
terday with a speech strongly at
lacking the Presidents arbitration
treaties.
Hitchcock voiced his disappforal
OF the plan Of both the proposed
British and French alliances. His
speech, however, was devoted sole
" to consideration of the British
treaty.
The Nebraska senator said that
there was q campaign now in prog
ress TO secure adoption of the trea-
ties. which, he said, it was believed
had campaign fund behind it. This
was for the purpose Of creating, ar
tificially, il necessary" public OPP
inion compelling the Senate TO ac-
cept the covenants unamended.
The treaty proposes TO take out
Of the hands of the President and the
Senate its Interpretation and applica-
ton. 1t proposes that the interpret
alton be left TO three commissioners
appointed by Great Britain and three
by the president of the United States
This is the Objectionable part of
the treaty"
ITO place full power OF the inter-
probation Of the treaty in the hands
of commission" Hitchcock said, lis
the trap in the treaty; it is a device
to permit an entangling alliances and,
in my opinion. it must inevitably
lead to, and was designed to lead TO,
an ENHANCEMENT Of the United States
in the foreign policy Of Great Britain.
Hitchcock quoted from speech
by Sir Edward Grey, secretary of
state for foreign affairs, in the Eng
lish House OF Commons. the state
ment:
Il think the treaty would prob
ably lead to Great Britain and the
United States following it up by an
agreement that they would join with
each other in any case in which one
only had quarrel with a third pow
er by which arbitration was refused"
This is very significant language"
Hitchcock said. At the time Sir
Edward Grey's words were uttered,
the relations between Great Britain
and Germany were strained. and they
are strained even today as all the
world knows. The talk OF possible
war between them is almost con-
slant in both countries.
1T is hard to escape the conclu-
sion that Sir Edward Grey referred
to Germany and it is easy 10 see why
under such q condition. Great Bri-
tain would desire to follow up the
pending treaty by an agreement with
the United States to join Great Bri-
tain in her quarrels, if Germany re-
fused arbitration.
Il am therefore opposed to the
treaty in its present form, because I
believe it may lead. and was intend
ed by Great Britain to lead, TO an en-
tangling alliance which is contrary
to the settled policy of the United
States.
Even if ire treaty did not lead
to an alliance" Hitchcock said. ii
would inevitably promote contro-
versies, encourage claims and lead to
diplomatic arrangements. through

Campaign Against Vice.

The union of civic forces into a
nationwide association for the suppress
sion of the white slave traffic is a move
ment significant of the magnitude oi
the problems with which it has to deal
For many years separate societies have
been fighting the social evil in detached
groups, with crsmped means of activ-
ity and forces totally inadequate to meet
the power they were seeking to throt-
tie. 1t now. appears that these asso-
Citations have come together into one
national society, with experienced work
ers at its command and invested with
powers that promise success in its un-
dertakings =.
That such men as David Starr Jor-
dan. Cardinal Gibbons, Charles w.
Eliot and Clifford c. Roe are among
the official heads of the new body IS
proof of the determination which is
behind the endesvor. The association
will not lack money with which to pur-
sue its warfare, and, with lawyers, de-
tectives, settlement workers, and per-
sons who have probed the inner work
ings of this seoet plague, should make
headway against the evil.
The Washington herald., 1912-03-06
Secretary Stimson for Taft.

In his address before the Taft Club
in Chicago last night, Secretary Slim
son. who, TO use his own words, EN-
tered into public life under the inspira-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt" and who
still remains a believer in his great
national policies and accounts himself
his sincere friend, nevertheless advo-
Gates President Taft's denomination.
He asserts that the President has car
ried ont the progressive faith of the
Republican party; has to his credit an
administration that stands for orderly
and permanent progress in our national
government, and thus deserves the in
dorsement OF denomination.
Secretary Stimson arranges Mr..
Taft'S accomplishments in logical or
der-hS efforts TO secure a downward
revision OF the tariff upon nonpolitical
and scientific lines; his advocacy of
reciprocity; his programme of trust
regulation by a Federal commission /;
his successful endeavor to tax corpo-
rations. and, in matters affecting hu-
man welfare, his arbitration treaties,
employers liability law, and railroad
overcapitalization commission. In all
these things, Mr.. Stimson insists, the
President has not been dramatic, but
he has been thorough. He has not
sought his own aggrandizement, but the
country's welfare He has accom-
pIished much, but has done it so quietly
that he has failed to receive that need
Of applause which might have followed

Nv Stimson proves hin elf an able
and effective advocate o. IN" President,
and his address VIII appeal to thought

admits that zone has only to follow the
figures of the successive tariff laws be-
