London, Nov. 2s.-The Thanksgiving
dinner OF tho American Society here
tho pronouncement OF the British gov
ernment's endorsement Of the Monroe
doctrine by viscount Haldane, Lord
High Chancellor.
Three hundred and ffty American
men and women with q large number
Of British guests. were present and
enthusiastically.
The lord high chancellor spoke on
the cordial welcome he had received
in tho United States as "a thinking
man and a moralist."
Speaking Of the Monroe Doctrine.
he said that the United States consid-
cred herself responsible for the lib
critics Of the small nations Of that
hemisphere
He could see what was IN the mind
Of tho president Of that time-that
the responsibility rested with the
United States to secure good govern
ment and fair treatment for those
countries.
He interpreted President Wilson's
policy to mean that the United States
was ready to accept the responsibility
Of ensuring good terms herself in
those countries and to those who went
there and that the United States
should set up high ideals Of policy. Of
Justice and Of Righteousness.
II am not sure that any one should
speculate upon tho Interpretation OF
that policy" he continued, "but have
thought myself at liberty to say what
I have.
1T is true, indeed. that high spirit
and a high aim have been brought
into the policy of the United States In
it's dealings with ancient countries
and 1t is because the president has
taken the attitude he has q step
which none can but admire what
ever it's consequences may be-that
I propose good health to Woodrow
Wilson. the man."

London, March 15.-Miss Marjorie
Masters, the suffragette school teacher
who yesterday threw a pot of green
paint through a window at the home
office, was sentenced today to a
months imprisonment. Addressing
the police magistrate in court she
said:
This is my method of lifting the
gauntlet thrown down to women by
the government in ignoring the queS-
ton of votes for women in the king
speech at the opening of parliament
She was followed in the prisoners

who had harangued a crowd outside
the headquarters of the militant suf-
fragette society. He had shouted TO
the people:
That's the place which ought to
be burned down." and the police
promptly arrested him. He was put
under bond to keep the peace.
The suffragettes today opened an
other active campaign of destruction
of the mails. Scores of letter boxes
in London were found this morning
with their contents destroyed by acids.

PLAN ABANDONED
Union Pacific Chairman An
nOunces Action i'm Court.
California Railway Commits
sion Opposed Dissolution.

st. Louis, March 15.-Chairman
Lovett, of the Union Pacific system, an
nounced in the federal court here to-
day that the modified plan for the dis
solution of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific had been abandoned
because of the opposition of the Cali
fornia railway commission.
As result of abandonment of the dis
solution plans, it now is necessary for
the representative of the Hartman in
terests and the attorney general to de-
wise a new plan that shall meet the
approval of the judges of the eighth
federal circuit, who are sitting in this
case as the district court of Utah.
When the new plan will be ready to
submit Judge Lovett did not indicate,
further than to say that the supreme
court had granted three months for
compliance with it's dissolution decree.
AS the dissolution decree was handed
down in the latter part of December, 1T
is thought the new plan will be devised
within few days.
Judge Lovett said the failure of the
plan was due to the opposition of the
California commission to the traffic ar
rangement contemplated between the
Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific.
Presiding Judge Sanborn asked Dis
trict Attorney HoutS if il vas satisfac-
tory to the attorney general to hold the
final dissolution decree in Obeyance un-
til new plan could be devised. Mr..
Houts said he had no word from the
attorney general on that point, but that
he himself had no motion to offer.
Accordingly the judges allowed the

ter of refusal was received at the
White House today
Mr.. Olney's letter was said to be of
confidential nature and was not
made public. Secretary Tumulty,
however, announced that Mr.. Olney
had declined for family reasons" 1t
is understood that Mrs. Olney has
been in poor health and that Mr..
Olney was loath to change his resi-
dence at his advanced age. His many
business connections through his law
practice also are said to have influ-
enced linn to remain in this country

ment of Mr.. Olney's declination. It
was pointed out that beside Mr.. Olney,

was intimated by friends that he
might finally decline any public Of

JOS. E. Davis of Wisconsin, secre-
tary of the Democratic national COM

of assistant secretary of war, which
the president has offered. Mr.. Davies
had been offered a diplomatic post
and was considering it when Secretary

Some of the administration policies,

Union Pacific-Southern Pacific Case
Up Today in st. Louis.

plans for the dissolution of the Union
Pacific-Southern Pacific merger were
scheduled to be presented before
United States Circuit Judges Sanborn,
Adams and Smith, sitting as the dis
trict court of Utah here today.
The hearing was set for 10 a. m

the Union Pacific, and Chairman

position to them was raised by +. w.
NJ. Cutcheon, counsel for the Western
Pacific. He objected to the proposed
distribution of the Union Pacific hold
ings of Southern Pacific stock among
the individual stockholders of the two
roads and to the proposed 999-year

DUTY-FREE SHOES
Tariff to Be Removed From
Leather Footwear.
Wood Pulp Also Included in
Committees Free List.

Washington, March 15.-The tariff
duties on boots, shoes and on wood
pulp used in the making of print pa
per are to be removed under the new
tariff law, as prepared by the ways
and means committee.
Free boots and shoes was decided
on by the committee as a direct effort
to break the control of the alleged
shoe machinery trust which the Su-
preme court has held was legal under
the patent laws. Free wood pulp is
given to meet the needs of the pub
fishers who must turn to Canada or
to Norway and Sweden to secure their
supply of print paper to escape the
exactions of the paper trust.
Representatives of obth the paper
trust and the shoe machinery trust
have been working in Washington for
more than a month to prevent the
placing of wood pulp and boots and
shoes on the free list. The wood pulp
men used the argument that the de-
because of opposition to the free trad
ing of wood pulp and print paper. The
vote of the ways and means commit
tee for free wood pulp is considered
by some members of congress as an
other move to reopen the subject of
general reciprocity with Canada
Representatives of the New England
boot and shoe manufacturers contend
that free boots and shoes will not re-
suit in lowering of the prices to the
consumers, but will necessitate a low
ering in the wage scale of workers in
the factories because of competition
with foreign manufacturers. They
point to the results following the re-
moval of all duties on hides. Since
that law was passed, undreSSed leather
has advanced 30 per cent. showing con-
troll of this branch of the leather in
dustry by the leather trust
The shoe machinery trust, while it
does not control the shoe machinery
in foreign countries, has a heavy for
eign business and is underselling for
eign shoe machinery in foreign coun-
tries.
Testimony before the ways and
means committee and evidence given
in the government suit to dissolve the
shoe machinery trust proved that the
trust was selling in the foreign mar
ket it's patented machinery at a lower
price than the same machinery was sold
at home.

DEADLOCK over BILL.
Canadian Naval Measure Cause of
Bitter Contest.

Ottawa, Ontario, March 15.-The
deadlock in parliament over Premier
Borden's bill for a naval gift to the
empire continued it's eleventh day to-
day. having been interrupted for any
length of time only by the adjournment
over last Sunday. The critical stage I'm
the fight, which is over the second
clause of the bill proposing a $35, 100000
appropriation, was precipitated during
last nights session, however. when the
government majority moved to limit
the discussion to the clause under con-
sideration and not to allow opposition
members to discuss the principles
of the bill. Robert Rogers, the
member who made this motion de-
clared that if the existing rules of the
house did not prove such as would al

i'm Vice Probe.
Large Store Managers Give
Their Testimony in Case.

Peoria, Ill, March 15.-Numerous wit
nesses but few spectators were present
When the surprise" session of the
Illinois vice commission opened here to-
day. Amono those waiting to be called
were a number of chorus girls and two
mlogets playing at local theater.
The first witness was William e.
Pearson, manager of the Larkin com
pany of Illinois. The company employs
l36 girls. Pearson said that the lowest
wage was IS. He was excused tenn
porarily to bring in data.
FRANK ID. Young, manager of the local
Woolworth five and ten cent store. the
next witness, testified that the store
employs 81 girls, and that the minimum
wage s4 week. Twenty-Five girls re-
ceive SIS or less.
rs it not a fact that you are in

without getting the consent of the head
Officer" asked Lieutenant Governor
O'Hara, chairman of the commission.
1T is not" replied Young
What is the least that a girl in
Peoria can live on?'' ask O'Rara
1T depends on whether she lives at
h Jme or alone.'
any difference said O'Hara; "but just
suppose the girl was living alone, how
much would it cost her?''
Il don't know
'Well, what would a room cost her?''
'Well, say $1.50 or 81"
"All right, $1.50; now how much for
food?''
"Oh, say $3.50"
And clothing?''
81 don't know. We hire only girls
who live at home"
O'Hara then came to the main point
of the hearing asking if, in his opin-
ion, low wages and immortality are a
cause and a result respectively
'T think there is only a slight con-
nection," was the reply.
