BRYCE MAY BE
ONE or CANAL
ARBlTRATORS

Washington. d. c., Feb. 6--Mr
BryceS appointment as a member of
the permanent court of arbitration of
the Hague is to fill vacancy to be
of the president of the British dele
CATION, Hon. Sir Edward Frey, who
will then be so years old.
1t is understood here to the purpose
of the British government to continue
Mr.. Bryce in his present post until
the conclusion OF the Panama canal
negotiations. This is upon the pre-
sumption that the issue may be
brought to an amicable settlement
directly between the two govern
ments or that an agreement shall be
reached for it's arbitration before the
expiration of the present administra-
ton If that should appear imrossi-
BILE it is expected Mr.. Bryce will re-
main in Washington under the incom-
ing administration long enough to de-
velop clearly President Wilson's atti-
tude when the negotiations may be
turned over to Sir Arthur Cecil
Spring Rice.
Should the canal issue finally go to
arbitration, 1t is probable that Mr..
Bryce might be selected as one Of the
arbitrators

diplomats of Europe are convinced
that the war will not last long.
The financial embarrassment Of all

ION of President Taft, by the con-

Of two railway lines from the Alas

of which shall be vested in the gov

by private parties under lease
In special message, transmitting
10 congress the report of the Alas

d@nt today strongly urged legislation
along those lines. asking that the
S.vernment either guarantee the prin-
cipal and interest of bonds necessary
to build the roads, or construct them.
81 am very much opposed to govern

GRAFTON under lease, is the proper so.
luton wrote the president.
One road recommended by the
commission would connect Cordova
with Fairbanks by way of Chitina,
the other would link Seward with
lditarod. The first would open up
the Bering river coal fields; the other

would have a mileage, with branches,

Sofia. Bulgaria Feb. 6-The main
object of the Bulgarian armies, apart
from the reduction of the fortress
of Adrianople, was disclosed in dis
patches given out by the war office
today The plan is to reach the Dar-
daneles straits and clear them for
the passage of the Greek fleet into
the sea Of Marmora. Then the Greeks
will attack ConstantinOple directly
from the sea.
From the reports Of fighting to the
north of the peninsula OF Gallipoli il
can be seen that one of the columns
of King Ferdnands troops is march
ing straight into Gallipoli. 1t has
already taken the village of Modesto,
Charkeui KAYAK and Bulair, which
are on the neck of the peninsula. 1t
has not yet however, come in contact
with any large force of Turkish
troops, of which there are said to be
10000 on the Gallipoli peninsula.
These, in the opinion Of military eX-
perts, should be able to offer a siren
nous resistance TO the advance of the
Bulgarians from the north. The
guns of the Dardanelles forts also
can be trained toward the Landslide.
On the whole, the Bulgarians have a
severe task before them.

(By John S. Harris.)

The work of the bureau of informa-
ticn of the Chamber of Commerce are
so related that report OF the actlvl
ties of one must necessarily be re-
mort of the activities Of the other. AS
the dues of the Chamber of Commerce
are but one dollar a month, the fund
raised in this manner was not large
enough to permit the chamber TO DO
az much as it's members desired, so
that special fund was created
which could be used for the purpose
ol maintaining a bureau or lnforma-
ton for the benefit of the public. Sub
scriptions were voluntary and ranged
fl ON two dollars per month to ten dol
lars per month. IN this matter
monthly revenue of about one hun
dred dollars additional to the regular
fund was raised which was used with
the regular fund of the chamber The
financial statement which will be
found at the close of this report will
show how this money was spent.
With the comparatively small sum
raised it was decided that it would not
b, wise to engage in campaign of
direct advertising but that the money
at hand be stretched as far as pos
sible through indirect mediums.
1t might be well to call attention to
the fact that the problem of showing
results for years work in COM
lnunity like Santa Fe is not as simple
a matter as it is in an agricultural
community like Deming for instance.
We have no great amount of unde-
vtloped agricultural land so that our
records are not of such definite
rature as the results obtained where
TIE organization can point to certain
rumber of settlers and say: I'VE
Thought YOU these settlers and they
have increased the values of this COM I,
munity so much, However, it is not
too much to boast that the results OBJ
tanned in the past year. while totally
different in character from those OBJ
tanned in an agricultural community, .
were just as sure and of Just as great
q monetary value as those in an agri-
cultural or manufacturing vicinity,
Santa Fe is a peculiarly fortunate
city. 1t has, by avoiding the great
American rush. been left to slumber
for three hundred years. and now that
the awakening has come it is fortu-
nate in having a citizenship who real
ize their great good fortune and pro-
pose to keep Santa Fe the quaint, pic

can senator's caucused again today to
determine on plan of action to meet
the Democratic flibuster against CON
firmations OF more than 1900 of Pres
ident Taft's appointments. Many
were in favor Of abandoning any fur
ther attempt to put the appointments
through.
A continuation of the fight without
discrimination as to classes of nomi-
nations was decided upon, however,
by the majority and later the Repub-
licans succeeded Sc to "a, in forcing
the senate to close its doors to con
slider appointments.
Senators Bristow and PoindeXter
voted with the Democrats against the
executive session The Republicans
will continue to move for the consid-
GRAFTON of nominations whenever
such sessions will not Interfere with
appropriate bills or other executive

While the Republicans do not hope
for the success of many of the Taft
appointments, they want to attempt
to place the blame for failure upon
the Democratic senators.

1T wasn't a caucus it was only a
conference
This was the way in which one
member of the Old Guard tried to ex-
rain the situation arising out of the
attempt last night to put one over
on Speaker Roman Liberato Baca of
tne house. When asked what the diff
ference might be, this legislator re-
Piled:
well, caucus is supposed to be
binding upon all who attend it, but
conference is simply for the pur-
pose of talking things over to see if
an agreement can be reached
SO the caucus of house Republicans
last night was simply conference.
Otherwise it might be termed sad
and dreary fzzle in which such re-
rowned leaders as Young Catron,
Blanchard Burg and others, failed to
set together with the result that the
conference broke up in a general
disagreement which probably will pre-
clude any further efforts along the
same line.
In fact, one member of the Old
Guard is quoted as saying today that
# that sort of conference is sam
PIE, then he does not care to attend
any more.
The caucus-conference began with
Julian Trujillo presiding and it start
ed out, according to those present,
with a firm determination to discuss
the salaries measure. But it was not
long until some one suggested that the
easiest way out of the troubles in the
] ouse, would be to amend the house
lnles SO that a mere majority of the
house would be the court of last ap-
leal instead of two-thirds, as at pres
ebt
This, in effect, would give bare
majority the right to throw out a
couple of Democrats, elect new
speaker override the present speaker
and do things, generally.
A heated and somewhat acrimonious
debate resulted. Young Catron with
customary candor, is said to have ex-
pressed the opinion that the members
Of the caucus-conference ought to
abide by its decision and to have ex-
pressed himself to the effect that no
one was good Republican who would
rot do SO. At all events, he said
enough to hear from Mr.. Cooney who
told him in plain English, a few
things concerning the Republican
party or what was left of it.

REVIEWED, AND TIE SECRETARY TALKS Of
THE GREAT GOOD ACCOMPLISHED WITH
SMALL MEANS

There are two ways of obtaining pub
licity. BY paying SO much an men
fer your "ad" in a paper of known cir
culation so that you can igure TO
fraction of a cent the cost of placing
your "ad" in the hands of the indi.
yiduai. This is direct advertising and
its cost is staggering, for instance,
twice the annual income of this
chamber would be used in paying for
ole page ad in one issue of the Sat
urday Evening Post. Therefore, as
stated, direct publicity was out of the
question when our financial condition
as considered.
However. there is no need, nor will
there ever be, of this community
paying out any great sum for direct
publicity for our surroundings are of
srch interest that it is unnecessary to
do other than to gather data for pa.
rCrs, magazines and special writer's
who will gladly give us more pub
licity than we could obtain with an
advertising fund of one hundred thou.
sand dollars per year. The actual
amount of free advertising this city
has already received can be easily
computed in dollars and cents. For
instance, a story issued the day after
the bureau was opened obtained space
amounting to forty-eight column
inches in papers, aggregating over
ere million circulation or at the usual
rate per line after all cash discounts
We're allowed the story would have
cost had it been paid for at space
rates, $3.50. The actual cost to the
bureau of obtaining this publicity was
IL the neighborhood of fifty dollars.
Every opportunity of obtaining free
publicity has been followed up. Miss

YOUNG CATRON TRIES 0RATORY, BUT
HIS EFFORTS PROVOKE REVOLT

The descriptions of what took place
as told by various members of the
house, agreed completely in only one
feature-that is, that the entire stunt
was a fizzle. Outside of that there
appears to have been numerous and
divers arguments, oratorical flights
and squabbles which completely broke
up the conference.
According to one house member
Cooney, Vargas, Lucero, Trujillo and
Purg, refused at various intervals to
he bound by any caucus-conference
agreement looking to a majority rule
in the house as against the speaker.
according to one house member, Mr..
Moreno became disgruntled early in
the evening and left. Later, Mr..
Eurg bethought him Of his downy
couch and beat it from the. caucus,
thereafter, the session was prolonged
until near midnight when the other
members left and the lights in the
supreme court room were doused by
the accommodating janitors.
1t is reported that repeated efforts
were made to induce the little speak
er and one or two other members to
visit the meeting. The speaker so it
is said, was told that under no cir
oumstances, would any of the Old
Guard enter into any combination
against him, his authority nor the
speaker, being wise in his day, and
having had considerable prior eX-
nerience with the Old Guard and Old
Guard methods, was conspicuous by
bis absence.
This was the result of the much
talked of caucus which since last
Sunday night, some members or the
house were trying to arrange. 1t in
1icates that the efforts of Young Cat
ron and few of his friends, to hold
a following i'll the house, are useless
and that the little speaker and his
friends have the situation well in
hand. Because of the failure of the
meeting last night to produce results
there is not much heard today, con-
corning the final outcome of the sal
aries measures. The Old Guard does
rot feel as confident as it did before
the caucus-conference of last night
1t is now stated that another eff
fort to hold caucus will be made
later and some of the outside legis
lative steerers will be called in to
handle the situation.
