SOON TO Be ENDED
Claimant to Baldwin Millions Will
Know Verdict of California su- !
preme Court Tomorrow.

Los Angeles. Jan. IA final decision
Is expected to be handed down by the
State Supreme Court Monday morning,
In the fight that has been waged in the
California courts for the last two years
TO establish the right of Miss Beatrice
Anita Turnbun TO a share Of s2,5oo.oOO in
the S30,OO0OO0 estate of J. Lucky
Baldwin. whose daughter she claims
to be.
Through her guardian. Leo ]. Mcguire.
the Turnbull girl has based her claim to
share in the Baldwin millions, which
the millionaire 'horseman and gambler
left to be equally divided between his
wife and their children, on the allega-
ton that Baldwin had entered into a
marriage with her mother, Mrs. Lillian
b. Turnbull Mrs. Turnbull has stated
that she did not know the ceremony was
invalid until shortly before the birth OF
Beatrice, when she Immediately left the
gambler.
Soon after, Mrs. Turnbull, who was
then Lillian Ashley. went to Boston.
where she married a man named Turn
bull and brought Beatrice up in the be-
lief that Turnbull was her father. The
secret of the child's birth was not re-
vealed until after Baldwin's death, in
April. 1909, when she placed her case in
the hands of Walter B. Grant and w.
8. McCorkle, well-known lawyers Of
Boston and New York, respectively, who.
together with three leading members OF

TAFT CHECKMATES
FOES in THE HOUSE

President Taft has made an important
move to checkmate the plan Of the Demo-
Gratis to put him in a hole on the open
ing tariff legislation OF the session
Leaders of the majority party in the
House will be startled to learn that
President Taft Fas already taken steps
to have before him expert data on which
he may be able to pass judgment on the
Democratic revision of the iron and steel
last night, has issued rush orders to
Corporations, 10 push his investigation
of prices in the iron and steel trade 10
a conclusion and lay the results before
the President. Commissioner Smith has
dropped practically all other work, and
is devoting his force to the task of OBJ
tanning this data
The importance with which the Demo
Gratis regard the first tariff bill of the
session is indicated by their selection of
the iron and steel schedule. They be-
lieve that they have a better chance TO
get this measure through the Republican
Senate and up to President Taft than
any other tariff bill.
The Democrats, without the support
Of the La Follette-Cummins group in the
Senate, will be helpless to put any tariff
not based on the report OF the
tariff board up to President Taft. Leader
Underwood and his associates are rely
ing, however. upon a working under
standing with La Toilette and his fol-
lowers, similar to the one that they had
in the special session Of Congress.

LOCKOUT THREAT
OF MILL OWNERS
Lawrence Textile Strikers Warned
to Return to Work Promptly or
Suffer Complete Shutdown.

Lawrence. Mass., Jan. 13.-Unless the
$4,000 or more textile strikers in Law
renee arrange to return to work on
Monday there will be complete shut
down OF the mills in this city, and 25,-
600 operatives will be locked out.
This is the drastic measure agreed
upon by the millowners OF this and
other cities as result of the objec-
tions Of the workers to the millown-
ers' way OF constituting the new fifty
four-hour law.
The plan, SO far as the Everett mill
Is concerned, went into effect at noon
to-day. When business stopped at
noon to-day the men and women were
told that they needn't return to work
Monday-that the mill would shut
up shop indefinitely. That is exactly
the plan that has been agreed upon to
break this unreasonable strike" de-
clared a millowner.
Business does not justify paying any
more per hour. and we don't propose to
do It The strikers will return to work at
once, or all hands will go out until such
time as they want to return to work"
The strike could not have come at a
more inopportune time for either parties
to it. The textile men say that they
have Just gone through a hard siege. and
were Just getting on their feet when they
were hit with the new fifty-four-hour
law and the strike of the men who want
ed fifty-slx hours pay for hfty-four
hours work.
Should there be a general lockout II
would come right at the worst time in
winter, when food and heat are highest
and money is most needed by the work
ers and their families. The mill workers
are not well organized. and could not
look for help from the unions.
Policemen and firemen are on guard
tonight and members Of the local militia
are in readiness for a call in the event
of another outbreak of rioting.
1t is tine general opinion here that
there would have been no strike had II
not been precipitated by men from New
York who are at the head of the organi-
zation known as the Industrial Workers
OF the World. an organization to which
many textile workers belong.
Lee Phillips, a member OF this orEani-
zation, is under arrest on the charge OF
melting a riot. Other textile cities have
their eyes on Lawrence. The result OF
the strike here will determine action in
Fail River, New Bedford. Lowell. and
other places. II is for that reason. in
part. that the fight here is bound TO be
bitter one

JACKSON DAY.
II Il RIshtfuIIy the Anniversary of
Battle of New Orleans.

Il Il RIShtfully the Anniversary of
Battle of New Orleans.
From the Philadelphia Record.
jackson Day is not the anniversary OF
the birth Of a great Democratic Presi-
dent. but OF the battle OF New Orleans.
wherein sturdy "old Hickory" earned
his reputation as a brilliant commander
of men. Why the annual recurrence OF
the day of this historic military, rather
than political. event should not have be-
come the occasion for a nationwide cele-
bration is not evident; but II Republicans
as the Wings did before them, refuse to
join in the 'honoring thereof out OF feel
ings of partisanship we are quite con-
tent to have it remain a day peculiar to
the Democratic calendar. Andrew Jack
son typifes to those OF the Democratic
faith most Of the cardinal principles Of
American government to which their op-
ponents in politics for more than half
a century now have laid exclusive
claims.
He was the original Unlonist, as wit
ness his famous toast: "Our Federal
Union; IT must be preservedr' And who
but Jackson could have taken the stand
he did when he electrified the country
with his memorable proclamation against
notification and by his preparations TO
crush disunion with a stern hand He
afterward declared that, had the nuliifers
persisted, he would have hung them,
sir, as high as Haman." But 1t is not
this or that particular act or speech Of
his that endears Jackson to US, but his
whole downright and consistently Dem
ocratic manner OF thinking and doing.
He was the idol Of the common people
because he was one of them. had faith
In them and fought their battles against
intrenched privIlege-for there were trusts
in those days as well as now Ito men
tion only the United States Bank), and
the powerful sat in high places.
II was In his concern for the inter-
csts and welfare OF the plain citizen that
jackson typified the party which through
all vicissitudes has remained essentially
the party Of popular and general rights
as opposed 10 the political trusteeship OF
the strong, the rich ana the elect Il Is
not the sristocrats. the plutocrats, and
''better-than-thous@ who constitute the
salt OF the earth, hut the men and wom-
en- who dig and delve and toll and spin.
This was Jackson's. firm belief and it
II ours-and for this We honor him.

FIVE DIE In CANAL
WHEN AUTO SKIDS
Victims Plunge Through Ice Near
Trenton While on Joy Ride
and No Help Is at Hand.

Trenton, n. J., Jan 13.-Five dead, two
young men and three girls. was the cost
Of an automobile joy ride early this
morning, when a high-powered touring
car, driven by Frederick NJ. Foster. OF
this city. slCidded around a dangerous
curve and plunged through the Ice into
the water power canal at Brookville,
three miles from here.
The victims, imprisoned in the auto
mobile under the ice. were drowned. The
driver alone OF the party OF six hung
clear OF the car and was able to swim
through the icy water back to shore. He
staggered along a mile of lonely rode
through the darkness to an inn. and
there fell unconscious as he gave the
alarm.
The dead are Donald Reed. son of for
mer Supreme Court Justice Alfred Reed,
of Reeds Manor. near here; Chester A
Vancleef. an automobile salesman Of this
city: Miss Margaret Tindall and Miss
Annie Hazel. of this city, and Miss Helen
Mulvey, of New Haven, Conn. Miss Null
vey was only seventeen years old.
Young Foster was taken to his home
at $50 West State street, where he now
lies in a serious condition from exposure.
When the big automobile was about to
round the sharp curve the machine began
to skid. Foster struggled with the wheel,
but found that his hands had become so
badly numbed by the cold that he was
unable to control the steering apparatus.
He had no time to cry warning to his
companions before the automobile sud
denly swerved toward the water and
plunged downward ..r
The work OF recovering the bodies was
carried on under great difficulty on Rc-
count OF the darkness and intense cold.
The men went to work with lanterns at
first, and then q big fire was lighted. By
the light Of the bonfire the rescuers poled
into the wreck Of the car under water
and brought out the bodies Of Reed and
VancIeef and OF Miss Tindall and Miss
Hazel.
Harry Baker, the Reeds chauffeur, re-
covered one Of the bodies while searching
for that of his employers son. He was
devoted to young Reed, and although
badly frozen declared he would not leave
the ice-bound stream until the young
mans body had been recovered.
Coroner Bowers two hands were frozen
while he was assisting In the work Of
recovering the bodies. Others, too, who
assisted in the work had frozen hands.
Miss Mulveys body was the last TO be
recovered. II was identified by Mrs. J.
w. Temple. Of . Chapel street. with
whom she boarded.

day when ne asked that an item in his
estimates for appropriations be reduced
many thousands of dollars, by requesting
Congress to cut down the State Depart

$4,000. This reduction is made possible,
said Secretary Knox, through the disap-
pearance of some Of the difficulties in

HARRISON FEARS LEAKAGE.
Inquiries IL Great Britain Can

Learn Our Naval Secrets.
Representative Francis Burton Harri-
son, of New York, wants the Navy De-
partment to tell whether British subjects
are employed in American navy yards,
and are thus able to furnish the British
government with information that might
operate to the disadvantage of the United
States in time Of war. Mr.. Harrison yes
terdsy introduced a resolution in the
House calling upon the Secretary of the
Navy to furnish this information.
Mr.. Harrison's fears on this subject
have peen aroused by information that
has been laid before him by the New
York Society of Public Accounts. This
organization charges that a British firm
has been employed to introduce cost
keeping systems in the Navy Department
and navy yards, and that British sub
jects are employed IN the work. The
Harrison resolution calls upon the Sec
retary of the Navy to inform the House
specifically whether alien chartered ac-
cOuntants have not had access to the
confidential and secret processes and
methods Of manufacturing in the depart
ment.

Departments Efficiency.
Advocating the Taylor system of shop
management, Brig. Gen. William Crozier,
Chief of the Ordnance Bureau of the
War Department appeared before the
House Committee on Labor yesterday.
Gen. CrOzier said he had studied the
Taylor system and had decided that It
was best suited to increase the efficiency
CT the ordnance department.
Gen. Crozier had no criticism to make
of the labor unions which are opposing
the system, but added:
There should be some system to in
crease the efficiency of shop work. All
of the officers IN charge of ordnance fac
tories are anxious to make good records
for efficiency. / think we have the pick
of workmen and that the government
treats its employees better than other em-
ployers. There should be some way
of stimulating the work of the machin-
ist and other skilled mechanics, just as
the unslOilled mechanics are now stimu-
lated TO better effort by their labor

RESOLUTION BoTHERs CLARK.

Bears speakers StSnaIuFes
Speaker Clark's friends are disturbed
over the action of the managers Of the
Joseph W. Folk boom in circulating fac
simile copies of the resolution adopted by
the Missouri State convention a year or
so ago indOrsing Folk for President, to
which the signature of Speaker Clark is
attached. This is only one Of the many
embarrassments that have grown out Of
the collision of boOms in Missouri.
At the time Gov. Folks name was
brought forward for the Presidency and
he was given the Endorsement, Speaker
Clark had not figured much in the calcu-
lations of the boomers for the Presiden-
cy. Now that his candidacy has attained
a conspicuous place in the list OF Demo-
cratic favorites, the Speakers friends be-

thing and get out Of the way. But every
suggestion of that sort is greeted by
louder beating of the Folk bass drum.
