MINORITY SENATORS
AVOID RESPONSIBILITY
Republicans Decline to Advise the
President Before Nominations
Actually Are Made.

AS a result of interviews at the White
House yesterday, President Wilson prob
aably will cease his custom of inviting
Republican Senator'S, as well as Demo-
cratic, to discuss Presidential appoint
ments.
The White House schedule yesterday
contained the names of Senators James
and Bradley Of Kentucky, Warren and
Clark of Wyoming, Penrose and Oliver
of Pennsylvania, and Cummins and Ken
yon of Iowa
The first two were called in to discuss
the appointment of Henry G. Breckin-
ridge of Lexington, KY, to be Assistant
Secretary of War. Senator James, Dem
ocrat. said he had no objection to the
appointment, but Senator Bradley. Re-
publican, fatty declined to consider the
matter or discuss the appointee, saying
that he docs not care to take any re-
sponsibility for Democratic appoint
ments."
Senators Penrose and Oliver, Republic
cans, who were called to discuss minor
PENNSYLVANIA appointments, indicated the
same disinclination to approve the selec-
tons of the other party, and in the fu-
ture President Wilson will rely solely
on the opinions of the Democratic men,
bers of the Upper House to save posi-
BILE unpleasantness. In the case OF
States not represented by Democratic
Senators the President will accept the
advice of Democratic party leaders.

MINORITY TO FRAME
NO TARIFF MEASURE

Announcement was made yesterday by
Representative Moore of Pennsylvania
that he is opposed to framing any Re-
publican tariff bill as a substitute to
the Democratic measure at this session
of Congress. Moore declares that, al
though the Republican conference has
specifically instructed the Republican
members Of the Ways and Means Com
mttee to prepare substitute measures.
he will oppose such a plan and will rec
ommend that no such action be taken.
II am also opposed said Moore, Ito
any scheme, such as is now being advo-
Gated by certain Republican Senators. to
postpone the date of the effectiveness of
the tariff revision bill. The longer you
postpone this date. the more opportunity
YOU supply to importers to juggle prices
and to store great quantities of imported
goods in warehouses to be turned loose
on the market when the price has been
driven to the highest level. II any bene-
fit is to accrue to consumers from tariff
revision, the bill should become effective
at once Otherwise the importers will
get the whole benefit, and the public will
be swindled."

Drastic amendments to the antitrust
laws, designed in part to nullify the
rule Of reason outlined in the Standard

in bill introduced yesterday by Repre-
sentative Henry of Texas, a Democratic
member OF the House Committee on the

Congress has rot amended the Sherman
act. but the Supreme Court, in recent
days, has written into it the word 'un-
reasonable thereby performing an un-
warranted act of judicial legislation. The
word unreasonable ought to be elimi-
mated from the Sherman law by another
act of Congress. Trust organizers and
trust owners. who violate the law, should
be sent to prison, and products controlled
by the trusts should be placed on the
free list of the tariff law. II this pro-

The Henry bill proposes to enact into

embodied in the sundry civil bill at the
last session and vetoed on that account
by President Taft The sundry civil bill

FLIGHT ACROSS THE
OCEAN DELAYED BY
ACCIDENT TO BALLOON

Las Palmas, Canary Islands. April H.
A mysterious mishap to the dirigible
balloon, Suchard IL, has caused tenn
porary postponement of the start OF
Joseph Bruecker and his two companions
on their long flight across the Atlantic
Ocean.
When Bruecker reached the aerodrome
today he found that the gigantic gas
bag had become completely Debated dur
ing the night. Investigation showed that
the main valve had been opened, al
though whether this resulted from ac-
cident or design is not certain. Gas APP
parently had been escaping all night.
and il Bruecker had set out yesterday
afternoon as he intended to do he would
probably have fallen into the ocean.
Work of re-Infating the balloon was be-
gun at once. While this was going on
Kruger and Peter. respectively engineer
and mechanician, began overhauling the
mechanical gear of the aerial car.
Bruecker was heartbroken over the &C.
scident. He declared that it would be
impossible to say when he would be able
to cross. Thirteen fresh cylinders of
oxygen are being rushed from Germany.
but by the time they arrive The weather
may have become stormy.

PANIC WAS AVERTED.
Treasury Departments Prompt Ac-
ton Relieved Dayton Bankers.

That a financial panic in Dayton, Ohio,
following the food, was averted by the
timely assistance of the Itional Treas
ury, dey eloped yesterday when the re-
ports on the financial situation were re-
ceived by Comptroller of the Currency
Murray. Two weeks ago financial inter-
ests in Dayton feared untoward develop
ments with the re-opening of the ma
tional banks and -Iore particularly the
building and loan associations. Accord
ingly, the citizens relief committee
called upon President Wilson for aid
from the national government.
The requet was turned over to the
Treasury Department and relief was
promptly provided by Secretary McAdoo.
National Bank Examiner r. w. Good
hart was dispatched to Dayton by Comp
troller -Iurray To ssist the national
banks in meeting the situation, and ST.
100000 in gold was promptly sent to the
seven national banks there upon their
having qualified as national repositories
with securities in the. form of national,
State or municipal government bonds.
This action, accompanied by the ship
ment of $1,000 in small currency to
the subtreasury in Cincinnati, to be
drawn upon by banks and business
houses, has greatly relieved the situation
and all fears of financial difficulties have
disappeared. 1t also has had the effect
of restoring outside credit and confidence
to a large extent.
Examiner Goodhart is also assisting
the banks at Hamilton, GAINESVILLE, and
other flood striker cities in Ohio in cop
ing with the situation.

the Secretary yesterday announced that
henceforth midshipmen convicted on
charges of hazirg would not only be dis
missed but punished up to the limit OF
the law, which provides for their i'm
prisonment.
The Secretary declared that had he
had opportunity to give warning to the
midshipmen he would insist that Mid
shipman Cook be sentenced to confine-

USE OF COCAINE IN NAVY.
Secretary Daniels Orders InveStiga
ton Of Scaman's Allegation.

Investigation of the use Of cocaine

ordered by Secretary Daniels yesterday.

of an enlisted man at the San Francisco
station. who has informed his superior
officers that the use of cocaine is wide-
spread i'm the naval service.
Accordingly, the Secretary directed
that court of inquiry at once be con-
stituted to make complete investiga-
ton, with a view to ascertaining how the
practice can. be stamped out If the
charges concerning it's use are true.
"Of course said Secretary. Daniels,

mans statement But in a matter affect
ing the men as seriously as this I do
not intend to wait for any red tape or
lengthy collection of proofs. Should the
mans allegations prove true. the depart

NAVY HAS NO PLACE
FOR HAZERS'-DANIEIS

Il have no sympathy with haz-

a bully and must necessarily
have In his nature a streak of
the same innate cruelty pos
sessed by brutes who torture
dumb animals for the pleasure
of watching their suffering. The
United States navy has no place
for youths of this kind. The
Naval Academy is intended to
teach young men what Is re-
quired' Of an ofiicer and a gentle

torturing have no room in the
curriculum. and I do not intend
that IT shall exist as an optional
course of study.
where the hazing Is brutal as
the evidence in this particular
case shows it to have been, in
my Judgment. Ahe law provides
that the guilty youth may re-
ceive in addition to his dismissal
from the Academy a sentence OF
confinement not to exceed one
year at some place where he will
not be associated with crimi-
nails. "-Secretary of Navy Dan

FIGHT McADO0's APPOINTMENTS
This Is Plan of Republicans De-
rfded Upon Recently.

The Republicans of the Senate propose
to fight to the last ditch any appoint
ments that may be made to the customs
service in furtherance OF the reported
plan of Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo to remove men from Office in that
service and put in their places others
more in sympathy with the administra-

That course was decided upon yester-
day at a meeting of the subcommittee
of the Republican caucus held last Tues
day, which considered the question of
reprisals against the Democrats for pre-
venting the confirmation of many Of Mr..
Taft's nominations.
