DlSSENSIoN IN UNIoNiST PARTY
MAKES LIBERALS SURE OF
RETAINING POWER.
GOVERNMENT MAY NOT
DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT
Election Would pslay Passage Of Home
Rule silI-Lsadsrs Expected to Push
Thru Legislative Program Laws
Position az Leader Of Union,sts Has
Become Difficult.

London, Jan 3-The project OF i'm
posing taxes on food imported into the
British isles, put forward by some OF
the leaders of the opposition in the
house OF commons. has created such
hopeless dissensions in the unionist
party as to render almost certain the
retension of power by the liberal gov
ernment for the two years necessary to
overcome the resistance of the house of
lords to the home rule bill.
On the other hand the wrangles
among the unionists afford some temp
tations to the government to make an
appeal to the country on the chance OF
coming back to power with an in
creased majority.
This however. is a course OF action
which has little likelihood Of being
sanctioned by members of the Irish ma
tionalist party because it would delay
the passage of the home rule bill and
would even risk the return of the
unionists to office thus shelving home
rule altogether.
Unionists Abandon Program.
on the whole, therefore. the chances
now appear to be that the ministers
will decide against a dissolution or
parliament and will push on their leg
islative program especially as David
LLOYD George, the chancellor of the
excheGuer, has practically overcome
his difficulties with the medical pro-
fession and has secured almost enough
doctors to work the new Insurance act
According to one OF the leading
morning papers 2G5 members of the
unlonist party In the house OF COM
mons have abandoned the idea OF tax
ing food, leaving only seventeen adVo-
Gates OF food taxes under the leader
ship of Austen Chamberlain. III TINS
estimate is correct one the recent
campaign against food taxes has been
Extraordinarily successful and Andrew
Bonar Laws position as leader OF the
unionist party has become somewhat
difcic,,lt as he advocates policy aban-
doncd by the bulk Of his party.

Taft Rather Than Involve GosthaIs

Washington. Jan. 3.-President Taf
/ today definitely told Senator Branda'
gee. of Connecticut, chairman OF the
interoceanic canal commission. that he
would not send to the senate the nom
ination of Colonel George w. Goethal:
as civil governor of the Panama cana
zone. because of the opposition by the
democratic senator's to his appoint
ment
Opposition of democratic senators tc
President Taft's plan of putting Coione
Goethals at the head of the civil gov
ernment of the zone took such pro
portions yesterday that some of Mr.
Taft's advisers advised him to foregc
the plan and leave the creation of the
new zone government to his successor
Pre- esident elect Wilson.
Others in close touch with the presi-
dent were positive that out Of consid-
Grafton for Colonel Goethals. whom ht
does not wish to involve in a political
dispute, he would give up the idea and
that Colonel Goethals, immediately
after appearing before the congression-
al COnlInlCIee lOFHltlldtlHe appiopt io
tions for Qualifications Of the canal
would return to his work.
The attitude of the democratic sena-
tors is that the present canal commits
sion should not be displaced and dis
organized until the canal IS completed
Task Left to Wilson.
Senator Brandegee after personal
investigation among the democratic
senators told the president it seemed
impossible to have the proposed nomin-
alton confirmed. Some democrats, ne
said. made the statement that at the
time the Panama canal acv was passed
giving the president authoriy to ap.
point civil governor and establish ar
administration, there was an under
standing that no Immediate changes
would be made by the republican ad-
ministration.
The president told Senator Branda
gee that he knew of no such under
standing but that he would not allow
Colonel Goethals name to become In
volved in a political controversy. 1t Is
probable that Mr.. Wilson Will be con-
fronted with the task Of forming the
new zone government.

q physician's certificate that Mr.. Rock

interpreted as an Acknowledgement
that he knew that the process had

Mr.. Pujo was OF the opinion that
the facts in the case could be GER
titled to the house and an attachment
for Mr.. Rockefeller issued by resolu-
ton. This would allow the sergeant
alarms to seize the witness forcibly.
Speaking Of the understanding that
Mr.. Rockefeller's health will not per-
nit his coming to Washington, Char
man Pujo said:
There is no disposition on my part
or on that of the committee to en-
danger the life of any one whose testi-

So quiet was the arrival and depart

that only one or two persons on the
island knew they were there. Instead
of occupying the handsome winter
home of Mr.. Rockefeller they engaged
quarters at the Sans Souci apartments,
adjoining the Rockefeller home, and
there both have been in hiding, their
wives with them.
1t was with equal secrecy the entire
party departed from Jekyi island some
time Sunday on private steamer for
parts unknown. s
Identity of Boat a Mystery.
It is ascertained from an authentic
source that the party is bound for Ber-

servers.
Every possible effort has been made
to learn the name of the boat on which
the party sailed, but no one seems to
know. 1t is stated, however. that an
unknown yacht had been anchored off
Jekyl island and it disappeared almost
simultaneously with the Rockefeller
families.
The report that process servers were
