GOV. FORBES RESIGNS
AND COMES HOME SOON
Retiring Philippine Official Re-
plies to Attacks Made
Upon Him.

MANILA. August 25. W. Cameron
Forbes, governor of the Philippines since
November, 1863, today sent his resigna-
ton to Washington. 1t is effective Sep
TENDER 1. just a week from today, when
Mr.. Forbes will leave directly for the
United States.
1t was only yesterday, Mr.. Forbes says.
that he was appraised of the appointment
OF Francis Burton Harrison of New York
as the new Philippine governor. His
friends feel that he deserved more cour-
teous treatment after 50 long a service.
Replies to Attacks.
The retiring governor general himself
publishes in powerful terms a reply to
attacks by Representative Jones of Vir-
ginia. who. in pressing for the passage of
bill giving independence" to the Phil
ippines. urged the removal of Governor
General Forbes. The retiring head of the
tnsular government answers Representa-
tive Jones statement point by point and
declares that the Virginian representative
cannot persuade Americans who lead the
world in industrial enterprises that they
are incompetent to manage a govern
mental enterprise. and that he cannot adj
vance his case by unpatriotic and un-
warranted assault upon tis--- names
of the countrys representatives.

ELLIOTT TO BE THE MAN.
Belief That He Will Succeed President
Mellen Grows.

New York, July 4.-The decision of
the special committee appointed by the
directors of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad to choose sue
cessor to President Mellen is expected
to become public, after special meeting
of the executive committee of the road
Friday afternoon.
The special committee yesterday con-
tinued its informal conferences. Accord
ing to various members, no less than a
dozen names are being considered.
Howard Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific railroad, registered at
the Belmont yesterday morning. He
came frsm st. Paul, and the circum-
stances of his visit here are such that in
financial circles the conclusion was
reached that he will be the selection of
the committee appointed to choose
successor to Charles S. Mellen. The re-
port that Mr.. Elliott has been in con-
ference with members of the firm of
j. p. Morgan & Co. was not denied, but
it was again said that the committee
has not yet finally determined its choice.
President Mellen is preparing to sub
nit to the executive committee on Fri
day his answer to the report of Commits

President Wilson Is Deter
mined Upon This
Course
BOTH SIDES TO BE
TREATED ALIKE
In Mexican Troublesome
Talk of Lifting Embar-
go in Congress

Washington, d. G., July 24.-President
Wilson has determined that no faction
in the present Mexican revolution shall
obtain arms or ammunition from the
United States and that neutrality must
be observed in the strictest sense.
While the Mexican rebels have been
getting no arms heretofore, the Huerta
administration was enabled to secure
them under ruling that war supplies
might be sold to the legally constituted
government of any country.
1t is now maintained that as the
United States has not recognized the
Huerta administration, Mexico has no
legally constituted government, as the
term is used. Both sides will be treated
alike, therefore.
There is nevertheless firm feeling in
Congress in favor of lifting the embargo
and allowing both sides to secure arms,
with the idea that the revolution would
thereupon end more speedily.

INQUIRY INTO RISE IN
THE PRICE OF COAL
1t Will Be Begun by District Attorney
of Philadelphia, Following Deal
ers' Announcement.

Philadelphia, July ~ District At
torney Samuel p Rotan OF this city said
to-day that he would investigate the
raising of the price of anthracite by re-
tail dealers in Philadelphia. A state
law enacted this year levies tax of
Pc per cent. ca the value of each ton
of anthracite mined, or approximately
five cents a ton. The coal operators
Immediately raised the price of coal at
the mines to cover the tax, and Tuesday
Philadelphia retailers announced that,
beginning Aug. |, they would add ten
cents to each ton of coal used for family
purposes and five cents for steam pur
poses. The Philadelphia coal exchange,
composed OF retail dealers, passed reso-
buttons Tuesday declaring that the price
of coal will have to be increased because
of the tax, and requesting the public
TO join with it in testing the consti-
tutionality of the tax or to have the tax
repealed by the legislature of 1915.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION FOUND.
Doubt of Action Grows Less as Senators
Are Seen.

Washington, July "a. Canvass of {
part OF the Senate Democrats by Sen
ator Owen, chairman of the banking anC
currency committee, emphasizes tbs
probability that there will be currency
legislation at the special session.
Senator Owen has seen twenty eight
OF the fifty-one Democrats and all OF
them are in favor of currency measure
at this time He expects a considerable
number of the remaining twenty three
to assume the same attitude.
This canvass makes it certain that a
strong majority of the Democratic cau-
Gus viii insist on a currency bill being
put through without waiting for the

Republican Votes for Under
wood Schedule on the
First Test
BIG SURPRISE IN
FIRST TARIFF TEST
Democratic Leaders to Push
Bill Through Without
Speechmaking

Washington, July 24.-Voting began
in the Senate yesterday ON the Under
wood Simmons tariff bill. The first test
came on an amendment offered by the
Senate finance committee to reduce the
duty on oxalic acid from to / y cents
pound. 1t was carried by vote of so
to &c.
The most surprising feature of the
vote was that eight Republicans joined
forces with the Democrats and voted for
the amendment, This shows clearly
that the so-called Progressive Republi-
cans in the Senate do not intend to
make the tariff bill party question but
to vote with the Democrats when they
approve the rates and against them
when they consider the rates too low.
1t is probable, however, that none OF
the Republicans will stand with the
Democrats when it comes to the passage
of the bill as whole; but the independ-
ent stand taken by the so-ealled Pro-
gressives will have great influence in
cutting short Republican opposition and
hurrying the passage OF the bill.
These are the Republicans who voted
with the Democrats; Bristow of Kan
sas, Borah OF Idaho, Cummns of Iowa,
Crawford of South Dakota, Jones Of
Washington, LaFollette of Wisconsin,
Poindexter Of Washington and Works of
California.
The vote yesterday afternoon was
surprise Ii came as the result OF de-
termination on the part of Democratic
leaders to push the bill through When
10 Republican was ready to speak, the
Democratic leaders insisted on the read
ing of the bill and the beginning of
vote on amendments. The Republicans
were obliged to yield This means that
the Democrats have decided to make no
speeches, hut to rush the tariff bill
through without delay.
President Wilson is responsible for
this programme on the part OF the Dem
ocrats. The outlook seems good now for
the passage of the bill by the Senate
by the middle of August

PERPETUAL MOTION AT LAsT7
Machine Demonstrated at Turin, Italy
Which Uses Gas.

Turin, Italy, July 24,-Tests have been
made before scientists here of ma.
chine invented by a mechanician named
Florio, by which, it is claimed, perpetual
motion is demonstrated. The basic prin-
ciple underlying the method employed
is the contraction and expansion of gas.
The machine collects the caloric energy
of the air, which is inexhaustible, and
transforms it into mechanical energy.
The air is supplied automatically, and
the apparatus is in continuous motion
bv reason of the passage of the gas from
the warmer atmosphere to the colder
water.
