WEATHER INQUIRY
AFTER III PERISH
Bureau Lax in Warnings Against
Great Lakes Storm, II
Is Charged.
From The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Nov. ia thorough in
vestigation of the precautions taken by
the Weather Bureau to warn the Great
Lakes region Of the terrific storm which
caused loss OF 277 lives on November
was undertaken to-day by the Secretary
OF Agriculture, after the President had
referred to Secretary Houston telegram
from Representative William Gordon, OF
Ohio, urging that an inquiry be instituted.
Secretary Houston and Professor
Charles +. Marvin. chief OF the Weather
Bureau, conferred regarding the allega-
tions that the bureau had been lax in
sending out the proper warnings and it
was decided to ask for individual reports
from all the heads of the stations on the
Great Lakes.
Professor Marvin takes the position that
the Weather Bureau ordered ample sig
nails. He declares that while hurricane
signals may have been used In forecast
ing severe storms on the Great Lakes
heretofore. such warnings were due 10 a
misconstruction OF the government regu-
lations. as there is a vast difference be-
tween a hurricane" and storm" on
the Great Lakes.

STANDARD OIL STOCKS RISE
Extra Ohio Dividend Sends
Prices Up.

The market for former subsidiaries or
the Standard Oil Company was given an
other stimulus yesterday by the an
nouncement that the Ohio Oil Company
besides declaring It's regular quarterly
dividend Of 81 % a share. also sanctioned
an extra distribution of s. 70 a share. The
dividend is payable December 90 Brok-
ers specializing In these securities had
expected an extra distribution OF some
kind by the Ohio company. but were not
sure OF the amount, as the last previous
extra dividend amounted 10 only 10 cents.
Dividends for 1913 by the Ohio company
amounted to 81 per cent, as compared with
20 per cent in 1912 on the Sl5,oD,0o capital
stock. The par value Of shares is S25, but
the market value closed above l40 yester-
day, having risen several points from sat
urday's closing. Speaking on the general
outlook for Standard oil securities and
Ohio Oil Company, particularly. Carl H.
Pforzheimer, a broker says: I'VE had
expected this dividend for some time. and
we were not surprised at the announce
ment. The Ohio oil Company is one OF
the strong subsidiaries which has large
surplus, and we think that some time In
the near future this will be capitalized,
at which time there will probably be
stock distribution. Yesterday was very
active day for all Standard OH securities
but the fact that the stocks are invest
ment issues makes them especially at
tractive and insures continued interest,
although necessarily there will be periods
OF marked inactivity. and general trend
l believe. will be toward improvement"

NO EXCLUSION OF ULSTER
This Is the Slogan of Both Par
ties in England.
tBv Cable TO The Tribune.l J

London. Nov. 1S.-The keenest inter-
est has been excited throughout Ireland
by forecast Of the governments new
proposals which appeared yesterday.
Both parties, it seems, are ready for
strong objections to the temporary eH-
clusion Of Ulster from the operation or
the Home Rule bill.
The unity OF Ireland is not merely a
convention brt principle for all irish
Nationalists. They would feel no en-
thusasm for an Irish Parliament with
out the inclusion of Ulster from the
outset. Moreover, John Redmond's
prestige has been impaired by new
labor movement. He would make
many new enemies and stimulate many
old ones If he agreed even to tenn
porary diminution of his party's his
toric claim.
Speaking at Northampton last night
Mr. Redmond heaped fresh ridicule
on Ulster and fresh eulogies IN the
Liberal party. He added: I'VE are
not going to sacrifice in q moment Of
victory the fruits Of our long battle
The Unionists, on the other hand, feel
that a temporary respite from the
Home Rule bill would remove none Of
their objections to the bill

CHINESE SHUT UP
STORES IN PANAMA
Protest Against Governments
Enforcement of New Regis

according 10 a pre-arranged plan closed
their places OF business after posting
notices stating that the doors had peeh
shut for the purpose of taking an IN
ventoTy.
This was the first time the local Chinese
have ever closed their places or business
for such a purpose, and In vie" Oh
the fact that their laundries and mar
ket stalls also were closed their ACT
is regarded as an effort to compel the
Panama government to recede from its
announced programme relative to the en-
forcement OF the new registration law
which compels Chinese residents to take
out new certificates OF registration on
payment Of a fee or render themselves
liable to deportation.
The shutting of the small stores has
entailed considerable hardship on the
poorer classes of citizens. to whom the
Chinese sell butter. lard, rice ana othe'
articles I'm small quantities, valued as 10"
as 2Ib cents-a trade the native merchaht
does not care TO handle. Much annoyance
also has been caused by the non-delivery
of clean linen. In such cases, however
IL the laundries are not reopened withih
a reasonable time the police have peeh
authorized to take action.
The Panama government to-day an
nounced it's decision to stand firm. ana
orders were issued to all provincial gov
ernors to proceed with the arrest Oh

ton law before the expiration or the
