fANES SECRE TAY
CONTINUED from First Page. ,


IS known that until quite recently Mr..
McCombs had cherished the prospect
Of becoming one of President VIII
sons ministerial advisers, either as sec
rotary OF war. or as secretary OF the
treasury. After his health broke down
in the middle of the campaign last
fail 1t is also known that the national
chairman medical advisers warned
him that he must so slow. Even then
they told him that he might net be
able 10 risk the danger Of the hard
work that would come to him should
he accept place in the cabinet Hop
ing against hope. and striving care
fully to regain his full physical vigor,
Mr.. McCombs only 8 few weeks ago
vas brought To a stern realization Of
his condition. He then informed the
president elect OF his regret at not be-
ing able to work longer in politics or
fnbltc affairs after he had laid down
his responsibility to his chief follow
ing the inauguration exercises.
1t is stated by friends of Mr.. Nc
Combs that within a few days after
the Inauguration he will leave the
United States for an extended visit to
one or more OF the German resorts,
and that after he has taken the cure
there he will go 70 italy or the south
OF France for an IndefnftA sfav.
Health Has Given Way.
u has been we'll known to close
friends OF Mr.. McCombs that his
health has been giving way under the
terrific strain To which he has been
constantly subjected for the last two
years---or ever since he started out to
nominate Woodrow Wilson for presi-

accom- panied him to Washington. to
attend a dinner with him, relates an
experience which illustrates the IN
cessant pressure upon his vitality and
high strung nervous organization that
has resulted In his present predfca-
ment. On arrival at their hotel in
Washington they were assigned rooms
or different floors. MIR. McCoornbs
appeared in his friends room a very
few minutes after they had separated
nj the hotel desk. There he discov-
cred hts friend had been given a room
with two beds in Il.
Can I sleep in one OF your beds

Certainly replied his friend, but

Contemplate Similar Tactics.
1T is currently reported that STINT
lar tactics ara contemplated al the
coming special session Of congress.
Such a course woul1, in my opinion,
be a wicked disregard OF fair play and
would deserve the censuFe OF every
Democrat who voted for Mr.. Wilson
with the supreme confidence that he
would approach this great subject with
business decorum and that he would
give what he has called legitimate bus
mess fair play and square deal.

that they would in the course Of the

Position OF Sugar Trust.
The position Of the sugar trust was
made clear in a statement submitted
90 the committee by Edward S. At
kins. vice president Of the American
Sugar Refining company Atkins said
his company rs opposed to the aholi-
ton or the duty. because such action
would reduce the government reve-
mites, knock cut the preferential in
favor OF Cuban sugar, now in effect
under the reciprocity agreement with
the island and would open the Amer
lean market to refined beat sugar from
Europe.
Representative Harrison asked At
kins il the trust Is entered in the beet
sugar factories of this country. and
the witness admitted It Is interested
80 the extent OF about S22 100000. At
kins admitted he owned Cuban sugar
lands, which produce 5000 tons Of
raw sugar year He denied, how
ever, that this Ia the reason he wants

Upon information coming to william
Rockefeller tonight that DR.. Richard
son, who examined him in Miami for
the Pujo committee, and reported to
the committee that his condition was
even more serious than Mr.. Rookie
feller's personal physician indicated.
his son, William q. Rockefeller gave
out the first statement he had made
here in the case. He said:
physicians had differed In their
statements to as of fathers condI-
ton. He knew that one of his vocal
chords was seriously affected We had
not been told until this report that
the chord was destroyed. We knew
however, he WAS a sick man There
had been some instnuation that my
father was trying to run away from
the committee. OF course, that is
not so. and we are, OF course. graft
tied to have the committees own Ihy-
stefan report to the committee and
the public that his condition is as
he has stated DR. Richardson. If

report would be, and we did not ask

he said. Il do not believe father
could talk for two hours. He cannot
carry on an ordinary conversation.
His voice thlckens SO he has to stop
IN a few minutes. This Is not q court

committee can require him to testify
under the circumstances"

These rivers are still rising gradually

night reads forty-two feet, and the
rise is coming very slowly.

the chamber ef commerce and every
 thing that could be done should be

 very great opportunities which the

 pointed out to them that Nome has .
 railroad that is rotting because of the inability to pay ridiculous tax while the federal government is actually about to spend millions to build a railroad in other parts of the terri tory. They should be reminded that this is probably the greatest example of inconsistency on record that the matter might be forced home to their minds and cause them to raise their voices against such a condition. They should also be reminded that we have coal and quarts and all the other re- sources which deserve attention from capital and congress. To do these things is the duty of those who have taken the reception in hand for the greatest good may follow proper ac- lion.

RAILROADS ACCEPT THE ERo.
 MAN ACT.

The managers of the fifty -six North Eastern railroads have done well to submit their dispute with their fire- men to the kind of tribunal that the law actually provides. Their insis- tence upon another kind of arbitration could> only tend to revive the absurd and outworn notion that railroads are private interests and their quarrels private Quarrels
 Federal law has established It's right to regulate the traf,ic charges of inter- state roads-which is the same thing as the regulation of railroad income. It stands to reason. therefore. that pub aic authority must in the long run as- sume the further responsibility of re- gulating the railroad outgo.
 The wages of the railroad employees arc bound to bear an important rela- ton to trafIic rates. And the author ity that fixes the latter must, in the nature of the case. possess a more or less latent right to the former.
 The Erdman act is. of course. tenta- tive and imperfect. So Is every other statute relating to like matters.
 We are bound to use the best law we to make the best of 1t, and bound to make 1t better.

THE COMMON sENse OF BATTLE
 sHiPS.

The question of an ample navy" is now before the people in Q new light. Apathy and ignorance no longer be- cloud the issue. The incidents of the last few weeks have made plain and impressive the necessity. for whi-t
 the New York American has earnest ' and persistently fought.
 It is not a question at this moment of war with Japan or any other nation It Is a question of being prepared for any emergency in our national If,
 No people with intelligence and pa a- trotism can fail to demand this pre- paredness. No representations of in- tegrity and loyalty can fail to answer this demand.
 It has been brought home to every American that our country is part of the great world.
 That 1t Is subject to the 1ealousiss. the competitions. the wars of nations. If we compose our trouble with la. . pan today 1t may break out tomorrow or next year. If Japan retires as \ contestant for the mastery of the Pa cifc Ocean. there are others to coEi- pete. In the fierce activity of ovar- crowded nations for room to colonize their surplus people. there is perpetual unrest.
 We know this now. We have been brought face to face with war. We know that we are no more or less than other nations in our exemption from war. We know that the only nation immune from war is England. We also know why England has had no in- vaders for four hundred years.
 And 90 fin plain. natural common sense our congressmen must come to realize that we must have a greater navy. We must have battleships Not for aggressive war, but for effective defense. AS long as other nations build, we must outbuild other nationS. because we are better able to build. and need more to build.--New York American.

It has been made certain that the output for the past winter beat the output for the proceeding winter by q very considerable amoun' Bankers here estimate the difference in favor of this year at slo0.ooo or more and the figures of the gold sent out and the gold stIll on hand show that this estimate does not err. The indica- tions are that this summers output would also beat the output for last summer by a large amount if water could only be obtained in anything like the same qualities.
 The conditions here in that respect have been most resrettable but 1t Is still expected by many mining men that if supply of water comes soon the output will be better for summer work than 1t has been for some time
