u. S. OBSERVERS" Aid
DOMINICAN ELECTION
Two of Those Sent to Republic as
Representatives of Government
Make Reports.
APPROACHES A FAIR VOTE

Two of the chief observer OF the
recent elections in Santo Domingo. Hugh
L. Gibson and Frederick II. Sterling, re.
turned to Washington yesterday and re-
ported to the State Department. The
third official sent from Washington to
direct the observation of the Dominican
elections. J. Herbert Stabler. did not re-
turn with his colleagues, stopping off for
few days at Port au Prince, Haiti.
1t is said that as a result of the pres
ence of the American observers in the
island, the DOminicans enjoyed the near
est approach to fair election ever known
in that republic. In evidence of this
the fact is cited that the election re-
turns show that the elements regarded
as anti-administration seem to have
won out This never happens when
elections are conducted according TO the
standards prevailing in the Caribbean
countries.
The constitutional assembly chosen at
the recent elections is TO meet in a few
weeks to begin the work of revising the
constitution. The Dominican Congress is
also to meet soon, and the two bodies
will be in session in Santo Domingo City
ct the same time. IL is expected that
the Congress will be called upon TO
enact legislation in conformanCe with
the prospective changes in the constitu-
ton. especially regarding the electoral
laws The keen interest of the TnitoG
States government in the Dominican sit
uation will be continued. and there is no
doubt but that the influence of Wash
ington will be felt throughout the ses-
sions of the constitutional assembly and
the Congress.

CHRISTMAS EVE FIRE
TO UNDERGO PROBE
Commissioner Siddous to Investigate
Circumstances Which Caused
Firemen to Be Trapped.

district Commissioner Siddons is con-
ducting an inquiry into the circum-
stances that surrounded the trapping of
five firemen in the American Five and
Ten Cent Store Building on Seventh
street early last Wednesday, and will
probably hold a hearing today.
Fire Chief Wagner and Deputy Chief
Sullivan have filed their reports of the
fire and testimony of the five firemen
injured in the blaze will be taken dur
ing the proposed hearing.
1t was stated yesterday that this in
vestigation has not been prompted by
suspicion against any member of the
fire department. but that il is being
conducted rather with view toward
removing all doubts and occasion for
suspicion. The chief question is to be
determined is as to who ordered the five
men into the building at the time the
flames burst forth, and why the men
were not sooner discovered.
In view of the praise paid the fire
department by the business concerns
located in the buildings adjoining the
debris of the American store, and of the
unanimous sentiment that the work
done during the blaze was highly efficient.
the present probe has caused consider
able CONSERVATION among the members
of the department.

warfare so far as his department Of the

BY adopting the system of feeding blue

commissary, instead of giving the con-
tract to the Pullman company, as here
tofore, the navy has discovered that 1t
can reduce the cost per day per man from
$50 to A cents. 1t is likely that here
after no more contracts will be given the
Pullman company for feeding the enlisted
men OF the naval service when they are
transported by rail.
Diners Sometimes Failed to Appear.
The Pullman company used to charge
50 cents meal per man when caring
for bluejackets in transit. II was GUS
tomary to supply dining cars at different
points in the trip from the Chicago train
ing station, for example, to the Atlantic
or Pacific Coast, or else provide for the

method was found rather unsatisfactory.

germany TRYING
!. TO DODGE TARIFF
: Old Wood Pulp Controversy
Used as Lever to Bring
Concessions in Law.
U. S. REQUEST REFUSED
Attempt to Force Matters Is Surprise
Here as Cause for Complaint
Had Been Removed.
U. S. REQUEST REFUSED

Unofficial advices received here yester-
day indicate that the German government
is epdeavoring to use her former griev-
ance regarding the duty on wood pulp as
a lever to force the United States to give
concessions regarding the new tariff law
of this country.
According to cable advices, the German
government has refused the request of
the United States that the discriminat-
ing duty imposed on American steels and
rubber shoes be removed. An excuse for
the refusal 1t is asserted, the German
government mentioned certain features of
the new tariff law which il contended
were Objectionable to Germany, and inti-
mated that if those were removed or
modified, the discriminatory duties might
be removed.
This demand upon the part of the Ger
mans has occasioned much surprise here,
as it was not thought that they would
care to resort to such pressure to gain
their point. The discriminatory duties
in question were imposed by Germany as
a result of the controversy over the
American duty on foreign wood pulp.
growing ou, of the exemption granted
Canadian wood pulp through the Cana
dian reciprocity act.
Matter Had Been settled.
After a contest in the courts. the eN-
whole matter was settled n: once to the
complete satisfaction of Germany and
other governments affected. 1t was as
stunned here that in view OF the removal
of all ground of complaint upon the part
of Germany that there would be no fur
ther retallatory Determinations against
American goods.
The United States, in making its re-
quest for the removal of the discrimina-
Cd attention
to the fact that the original cause of the
impositior of the discriminatory duties
had been removed. There was every
expectation here that the request would
promptly be complied with.
Officials of the State Department said
last night that they had not received
any official notice Of Gcrmany's refusal to
grant the American request. but there is
every reason to believe that the unofficial
advices received are correct
Fault Found with Law.
This action BY Germany is regarded
here, as another indication of the tendency
Of that government to drive hard bar
caIus in tariff and trade matters For
several wears now the State Department
trade advisers have been engaged in one
controversy after another with Germany
over tariff matters, beginning with potash
~and running through split peas and Woou
-1ulp. In no case except potash nave the
considerations involved been extensive.
vet the German government has protested
and complained and demanded as If great
volumes Of trade were affected. There is
no doubt that Germany has made more
trouble for the United States over tariff
matters than any other European couH-
TRY.
;. The features of the new tariff law to
which objection is now brought are those
concerning the administration of the law.
