TAFT DECLINES TO
APPOINT GOETHALS
Could Not Consider Nomination of
Governor of the Canal Zone on Ac-
count Of Democratic Opposition.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, jar. ss.--President Taft
today definitely told Senator Bran
degee OF Connecticut. chairman Of the
interoceanic canal committe, that he
would not send TO the senate the nom
ination OF Col. Geo. w. Goethals as
civil governor of the Panama canal
zone, because Of the opposition by
democratic senators to his appoint
ment.
Senator Brandgee. after a personal
Investigation among democratic sena-
tors, told the president it seemed i'm
possible to have the proposed nomi-
nation confirmed. Some democrats, ne
said. made the statement that at the
time the Panama canal act was passed
giving the president authority to ap-
point a. civil governor and establish a
new administration, there was an un-
derstanding that no immediate changes
would be made by the republican ad-
ministration.
The president told Senator Bran
degee that he knew of no such under
standing. but he would. not allow Col.
Goethals' name to become involved in
political controversy. 1t is probable
that Mr.. Wilson will be confronted
with the task Of forming the new zone
government and settling many big
problems Of its administration.

Colon. Panama, at the time of Presi-
dent Taft's recent visit to the isthmus,
jumped overheard last night from q
ship on which he had been taken at
Colon. His body has not been re-
covered.
Representative Wedemeyer went to
the isthmus with a congressional party
at the same time the president visited
there. On the voyage from New York
he collapsed and was taken first to a
sanitarium In Panama and later was
put in confinement in a hospital where
he became violent and raved about ais
defeat in the last election. He de-
veloped suicidal tendency and was
closely watched.
Wedemeyer's close friends say that a
few days before leaving for the 18TH
mus he fell and struck his head on an
icy sidewalk. 1t was not regarded as
serious and did not deter him from
going with the congressional party.

SITUATION IN ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 3.-The death
Of United States Senator jeff Davis,
on the eve Of the ratification Of his
reelection by the legislature, creates
a peculiar political situation In Arkan-
sas, and while an authoritative state
ment has not been mado, 1t Is thought
probable that a special primary viii
be called to select a successor for the
full term beginning March next.
This course is pointed out as the logi-
cal solution Of the question by a num-
ber Of party leaders while others are
OF the opinion that the legislature
would have power to name his sue
ceSsor.
Senator Davis was nominated over
former Congressman Stephen Brun-
didge last September by a majority
OF 10000 votes.
Gov. George W. Donaghey, who will
retire from office January 13 when the
legislature convenes. and Congressman
w. A. Oldfeld had already tentatively
announced that they would be candi-
dates for the United States senate
two years hence to succeed Senator

London, Jan. 2.--What practically
was an ultimat1im was presented to
Turkey at today's sitting Of the peace
conference. Lazar Miyuskevitch, head
Of the Montenegro delegation. told
Rechad Pasha, leader Of the Turks,
that either by Monday. Turkey must
renounce to all allies the rights over
Crete and the Aegean islands and give
up Adrianople or the allies would
consider negotiations at an end. The
Turks were apparently disconnected
by the announcement and the meeting
adjourned without further action.
Stotan Novalnovitch, leader of the
Servian delegation, said this morning
he was sure the allies would ultimately
carry their point.
Turkey" he added, probably will
continue to resist the surrender of
Adrianople. but facts will soon be
stronger than theories and she will
be compelled IN the end to give way.
Fugftives from the besieged city. as
well as information obtained from
Turkish and British sources In Con-
sfanfsnOple, indicate tina. the condition
qcf the beleaguered fortress In an un-
terfA'bae ora and its exploitation Is
merely a 0lsaf3ou OF DAYS and perhaps
only hours. Once Adrianople has
fallen into possession of the allies, the
problem win solve itself"
The Austrian and Italian ambassa-
doris to Great Britain exchanged views
concerning the future internal ad-
ministration Of Albania. 1t Is said
this administration is to have budget
subsidized by the European powers.
The opening Of today's peace con-
ference at st. James palace was post

STORM WORKED HAVOC
WITH SHIPPING INTERESTS

Washington. Jan. s.-The South At
iantic coast states were in the grip
TO-DAY of o terrific wind and rain
storm. which worked havoc with ship
ping and cut of the cities of Norfolk
and Newport News.
All Land wires leading out Of the
cities were destroyed. Before the last
wire went down telegraph operator
in Newport News remarked that the
gale was so terrific that the waters of
the James river were surging up into
the lower parts of the city with the
violence of a small tidal wave. The
naval wireless sparked out unanswered
calls to the ships Of the Atlantic feet
gathering in Hampton Roads. Great
anxiety was felt for the safety Of tor
pedo boats in the narrow seaway.
Incomplete reports coming in while
the storm was at it's height were that
many small craft had been sunk. The
loss Of liee. If any, was not known.
In this city the gale whipped down
signs and trees. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires were demoralized as far
south as Atlanta.

At meeting Of the directors OF the
Pensacola Commercial Association yes
terday afternoon there was a discus
sion upon current efforts Of the asso-
citation to give rehearing on the Pen
sacola- Mobile canal proposition, which
was given now life by John Bernhardt.
OF New Orleans, in his speech upon
municipal docks last Friday night,
when he said his inland waterways
transportation company would run a
line to this city if it secured the ter
nlinals.
When efforts were previously made
to secure the recommendation for an
appropriation from the board OF army
engineers two objections were inter
posed, those being that the city had
no provision for control OF its ter
minals and that there were no as
surances that the canal would be
used. The efforts of the Pensacola
business men that visited Washington
in the interest OF the proposition were
finally based upon a compromise
termed "one half the project" which
was. essentially, securing recommen-
dation for appropriation for cutting a
That failed also, for the time.

Mr.. Bernhardt and the action OF the
voters. the association has decided to
ask for q reheaTing upon the entire
project and telegrans have been sent
to Senator Duncan u. Fletcher, Sem
ator Bankhead, Congressman Dent, OF

asking that the Pensacola people may
have rehearing during the present ses-
sion Of congress.
TO PROMOTE FARMING.
The association also decided to ac-
| cept the offers of the United States
department Of agriculture and the
Sears -Roebuck fund and agree to
spend $1,000 annually the next two
years for promotion of agricultural
expansion, thereby receiving $1,000
| annually from them to aid the work.
The association points out that 1t
spent $500 in the county within the
| last year and that it can easily agree
to spend the $1,000 yearly, especially
as II will bring a monetary return Of
$4,000.
The government, by special act Of
fers any county $1,000 that will agree
! to spend the same amount within two
years and the Sears-Roebuck fund
operates similarly, under direction OF
| the International Association Of Grain
| Exchanges.
| In just which specific manner the
money will be disbursed is not yet
settled upon, 1t is understood.
