Wilson worked under u usual strain

callers on "a variety of political err
rands; sat for more than two hours

Returning late in the afternoon from
an automobile ride, the president
found news that caused him to go to
the support of this New Jersey Jury
reform bill for the second time in two
days. The New Jersey senate has
passed the measure without the ref
amendment, regarded by the
president as intended to delay reform,
but the lower house has yet to accent
the bill without the amendment. A

FOR HART|CAN
TO ESCAPE SENTENCE

New York, March 1S.-John G.. Har-
t1gan, patrolman convicted of perjury.
was given his chance today to turn
against the police System and save
himself 10 years in prison, the SEN
tence he faces for testifying falsely
that he did not act as bribe-carrying
messenger for a superior officer.
When Hartigan was arraigned for
sentence, he was granted delay until
Friday at the request of his attorney.
The sentence is expected to depend on
Hartigan's frankness in telling what
he knows of the "system's'' methods
to District Attorney Whitman. 1t has
been made clear to him that to escape
with a mild punishment, he must
turn against the System His wife
has urged the young patrolman to
make a full confession.
Indictments charging three former
inspectors with grating are expected
to be handed down tomorrow. One of
the trio is said to be prepared to
make a confession involving himself,
the other two and several civilian
employees at police headquarters.

Pennsylvania WOMEN
HAVE ROW IN STREET

Harrisburg, Pa, March 1s.-Advo-
Gates and opponents IF votes for
women joined in battle over the
cause before the senate judiciary
general committee here today in the
greatest street demonstration ever
made by women in the state capital.
Women from all over the state
were present to support or oppose the
proposed amendment giving women
the right to vote. The lower house
of the legislature already had adopted
the resolution and the fight has CEN
tered on the senate.
The outrage on s~uffragettes in
Washington figured prominently in
the arguments of the suffrage sup
porters. Not one man who struck
a woman in that parade, not one man
who spoke indecently to the women,
would vote for suffrage was
one of DR.. Shaw's remarks.
She declared that all the suffra-
gettes ask is the right to share in
the vote of the country.
While Mrs. A. J. George was speak
ing against the resolution there was
laughter from the s~uffragettes when
she declared that woman's place is in
the home. Turning to the commit
tee, she said:
Sisters, nearly so times when l have
used the words home and woman
in meetings like this, the suffragettes
have laughed"
She declared that she formerly be-
lieved in suffrage. but she changed
her views when she saw how suf-
fragettes feel toward women who
speak of the home"

Control in Commission.

The regulation and control, and the
fixing of rates for service to be
charged by municipalities owning
their plants Is definitely taken away,
and conferred upon a board of three
men, no one of whom owns a penny's
worth of interest in the plants. The
law makes no distinction between a
plant paid for n owned by the peo-
pie for their own uses and convent
encc, n a plant owned by private
capital and operated for private gain.
Municipal ownership is designed to
produce efficient service at the low
est reasonable cost; private owner
ship is based upon the desire for divi-
dends upon Investments, often wat
cred to double or more the amount
of cash actually invested. The con-
troll of the latter is a necessity. if the
rates for service rendered are to be
fair and equitable. Similar control
of the former is not necessary by the
state, for the people themselves are
supreme in the matter of regulation
and rateS-they determine for them
selves all these things.
1t may be taken for granted that in
the case of the public utility plants
owned by corporations other than
municipal the owners will use their
utmost e~ndeavors to induce the state
public service commission to make
such rates as will to the greatest pos
slble extent pay dividends upon
Watered stock valuations; and to Just
the extent that these efforts are sue
cesSful will the rates permitted to be
charged by municipality owned plants
be raised to a higher level tina now
obtains
Under the initiative and referendum
laws of Montana the new public utili-
ties law may be amended by a simple
initiative measure, submitted to a vote
of the people two years hence. In
view of this fact, the suggestion
is offered that the mayors of every
city in the state that owns either a
water or light plant or contemplatcs
such ownership should b. well repre-
scented at the direct legislation con-
ference to be held in Helena on March
% next.
1t Is very probable that the confer
ence will take up and decide to initiate
d measure along the lines of the Grip
pen bill which Was killed in the senate.
Under this bill cities would have had
the right, npo a majority vote of the
taxpayers, to levy special taxes for the
installation of municipal lighting
plants. AS there are quite a number
of cities in the state now in the grasp
of corporation owners of lighting
plants, it is thought that this particu-
lar measure will be of great interest in
those localities, n attract some
strong men from them to the confer
! ence.

STATEMENT ISSUED
BY PRESIDENT
GIN LOAN
SAYS THAT ADMINISTRATION DE-
CLIMEs TO ASK BANKERS TO
LEND CHINA MONEY.

Washington, Marh 1S.-President
Wilson in a statement tonight, ap
proved by his cabinet after two hours
of discussion, announced that his adj
ministration had declined to request
the group of American bankers te
continue their negotiations for a
ticipation in the $125,OO0 900 loan de-
sired by the Chinese government.
The statement follows:
we are informed that, at the re-
quest of the last administration, a Ger
tain group of American bankers un-
dertook to participate in the loan now
desired by the government of China
Approximately 1925, 900, OO0). Our gov
eminent wished American bankers to
participate along with the bankers of
other nations because it desired that
the good will of the United States
toward China should be exhibited in
this peculiar way, that American capt.
tai should have access to that great
country and that the United States
should be in a position to share with
the other powers any political re-
sponsibilities that might be associated
with the development of the foreign
relations of China in connection with
her commercial enterprises.
Tha present administration has
been asked by this group of bankers
whether it would also request them to
participate in the loan. The repre-
sentatives of the bankers, through
whom the administration was APP
preached, declared that they would
continue to seek their share of the
lOan under the nronOSed apreements
only If expressly requested to do so
by the government. The administra-
ton declined to make such request,
because it did not approve the con-
ditions Of the loan or the implications
of responsibility on it's W part, which
it was plainly told would be involved
in the request.
Conditions Not Liked.
"The conditions Of the loan seem
to us to touch very nearly the adj
ministrative independence of China
itself; and this administration does
not feel that it ought, ever by impli-
cation, to be a party to those con-
d1tlons. The responsibility or it's part,
Which would be implied in requesting
the bankers to undertake the loan,
might conceivably go the length
in some unhappy contingency of forci-
BILE interference. in the financial, and
ever the political affairs of that great
oriental state, just now awakening to
a consciousness of it's power and it's
obligations to it's people.
The conditions include not only the
pledging of particular taxes, some of

Trenton, n. j., March 1S.-The sem
ate today passed the Davis Jury com
mission bill in the form desired by
President Wilson, who telegraphed
democratic leaders here yesterday that
a referendum feature adopted by the
house was a subtcrfuge urged by the
hiils enemies and suggesting that it be
eliminated. Today's action of the
senate Is regarded as a victory for

them ~ant1quated n ~burdenSome, to
secure the loan, but also the admins
~tration of those taxes by foreign
agents. The responsibility on the part
of our government, implied in the en-
couragement4of a loan thus secured
and administered, is plain enough, and
Is obnoxious to the principles upon
which the government of our people
rests.
DESTROYS of Aiding.
The government of the United
States is not only willing, but earn
estly DESTROYS of aiding the great Chi
nese people in every way tina is con-
sistent with their untrammeled de-
velopment and its own immemorial
principles The awakening of the
people of China to a consciousness Of
their possibilities under free govern
ment is the most significant, if not
the most momentous event of our
generations. With this movement and
aspiration the American people are
profoundly in sympathy. They GER
tainly wish to participate and partici-
pate very generously in opening to
the Chinese and to the use Of the
world the almost untouched and per-
haps unrivalled of China.
The government of the United
States is earnestly DESTROYS of pro-
noting the most extended and init
mate trade relationships between his
country and the Chinese republic.
The present administration will urge
and support the legislative measures
to give American merchants, manu-
facturers, contractors and engineers
the banking and other financial ia
cilities which they now lack and with
out which they are at a serious dis
advantage as compared with their in
dustrial and commercial rivals. This
is it's duty. This is the main interest
of its citizens in the development of
China. Our interests are those of the
open door-a door of friendship and
mutual advantage. This is the only
door we care to enter"
The statement came as a conse-
quence of the visit to Washington
last week of representatives of New
York banking firms. They conferred
with Secretary Bryan of the state de-
partment, who took the situation up
with the president. Officials of the
Chinese embassy also discussed the
subject with Secretary Bryan and the
president.
Same Policy For All.
While the presidents pronounce
ment explained the attitude of the
United States toward the Chinese loan,
1t was aut~horitatively stated tonight
that the same policy would apply
throughout the Wilson administration
to parallel situations in Central
America and elsewhere in which the
United States was concerned.
In the last administration, Secre-
tary Knox urged the passage of two
loan conventions seeking to rehabili-
tate the finances of Nicaragua and
Honduras, respectively. The United
was to have had a voice in
the selection of customs inspectors
through which medium the interests
of the American banking firms were
to be protected.
The withdrawal today of the aid of
this government. to what has been
popularity known as the "six-powerI
brings to an end, so far as can
be forecast al present, the diplomatic
activity of the United States in that
connection. The negotiations for the
