Washington, July 14.-While diplo- matic Washington is conjecturing over the voluminous correspondence be- tween the United States and Japan the two countries by alternately ex- tending courtesies to each other are keeping the curious ones completely iI the dark as to the real situation regarding the California controversy. During the past few weeks the United States has officially welcomed doz- en or more eminent Japanese visi- tors. Now the Japanese government has presented the United States cru iser Charleston with silver loving cup
 In August, 1910 there was a flood ia Tokio and the officers and men of the Charleston and the cruisers Saratoga and New Orleans, which were near the stricken city, raised relief fund and sent it ashore. The incident was forgotten until Ambassador Chinda sent the cup to the state department with a request that 1t be forwarded k the Charleston. st,

 Changes Being Made.

Washington. July 14.-President Wilson is sharing the fate of humber American citizens. It is house clean ing time at the White House and he is being shifted around.

That is the amount that has been appropriated for the job and new furniture and new wall paper and even new beds will have to come out of this.
 Several changes will be made in the bedrooms of the Misses Wilson where modern prized beds will re- place the mahogany horrors formerly installed there and the dark paper will give way to the more cheerful blues, light green and yellow.

MOTORMAN IGNORED
 FLAGMAN'S SIGNAL
WRECK OF TWO THREE.CAR ELEC. TRIO TRAINS ON CALIFORNIA
 LINE TO BE INVESTIGATED
Result May Mean the Death of Twenty or More People, While 200
 Are Injured.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 1.-The responsibility for the rear end colli- sion of two three-car electric trains on the Venice beach line at Vineyard station last night, which caused tke death of thirteen persons and the /in- jury of approximately 200 others, had not been determined tonight, after an all day inquiry by representatives of the Interstate Commerce (Commis- sion and board of inquiry of of- ficials and engineers of the Pacific Railroad. The latter body made a tentative statement tonight in which it was said that their investigation seemed Ito indicate joint responsi- bility on the part of Motorman Jos eph Forester, of the incoming train, and Flagman D. Bartholomai, of the rear stalled train. fMotorman Pores ter, however is in@a dazed condition from injuries to his head and un- able to make an accurate statement

 , Motorman Forester told the Board jof Inquiry that he had been on duty thirteen hogEs when the collision oc- cured.

He offered no excuse for Sthe accident, except that he was unable to stop with the emergency brake.
 Bartholotnai had declared that For ester paid&no attention to his signals to stop. Several of the seriously in- iured paasengers are reported dying tonight and the list may be increased to twenty within few days.

RAILROAD STRIKE OFF TEMPORARILY Eastern Roads, Employees, President and Congress
 Get Together. THEY WILL ARBITRATE Secretary of Labor Wilson Was Per.
 sistent, But Yielded for
 Public Good.
THEY WILL ARBITRATE

Washington, July 14.-Secretary of Labor Wilson, who stood alone in the way of an earlier adjustment of the dispute between the Eastern railroads and their workmen, was forced to yield today at a conference at the White House between President Will son, representatives of the railroads and their workers and members of Congress, and the wage differences will be submitted to arbitration under the Newlands bill.
 This measure provides for either three or six arbitrators and board of mediation and conciliation of three members. It will be passed tomor- row. An agreement was reached be- tween the railroad officials and the representatives of the workmen tna> six arbitrators should be chosen. In the meantime, a truce has been de- clared by the roads and the employees.
 After Secretary Wilson yielded at the last moment, under pressure which gave him DO alternative save to precipitate the most serious trike in railroad history, Senator Kern, Demo- cratic leader of the upper house, and Representative Clayton, chairman of the judiciary committee of the lower house, also author of the Clayton res olution, now pending before the House, assured the President the Newlands bill could be put through the House tomorrow, but it was agreed that one or two changes of verbiage and no significance should be made there.
 Senator Kern prevented adjourn ment of the senate oyer until Thurs day, as originally planned in order that the bill as amended in these slight particulaYs might be put through the sfnate. President Will son annoupeed his readiness to sign the bill Immediately after it's passage, and unIess the administration plan miscafries the bill will become a law tomGrrow night.
 All hands at the conference were jubilant over the prospect of an early adjournment of the great labor con- troversy. Both sides stood ready from the, beginning to arbitrate under the Newlands bill, but Secretary Will son insisted until today that the Com missioner of Labor Statistics be nam- ed as one of the arbitrators as pro- vided by Erdman act, an arrangement which would have made him ex-OfffciO chairman of the arbitration board.
 When he realized today, following a statement by Seth Low, president of the National Civic Federation, who acted as spokesman for both sides, that the road officials would not retreat from their determination not to accept his plan, he announced he would withdraw his objections for the sake of peace. This soon brought the conference to an end and members of Congress were in a moment busy telephoning to the House and the Senate preparatory to putting through the Newlands bill.

Witness Before Senate Com mittee Makes More Inter
 esting Disclosures.
BIG MEN INVOLVED
Vice President Sherman, Taft and
 Other NOtables Mentioned in Muddle.

Washington, July 14.-It cost the National Association of Manufacturers s6O,OOO to re-elect Congressman Mid dlefield, of Maine, in the campaign of 1906, according to the revelation of Mulhall, the N. A. M. lobbyist before the Senate Investigating Committee today.
 Tt was regarded all over as a Ma tional contest" said Mulhall "and the association stakes it's reputation on the results"
 This was the fight in which the Am ] erican Federation of Labor made a stand against Littlefield because of his record against labor legislation.
 Speakers of national prominence were sent into the district and on the Republican side President Roosevelt hurried to the front with several members of his cabinet, includinf the then Secretary of War Taft.
 Littlefield won by about 1,50O plur- ality.
 Mulhall was there once more in the guise of friend of labor but in real ity working for the N. A. M., for the success of Littlefield.
 There was bribery right and left, according to his confession today and on reelection day widespread and successful plot to keep the Democrats away from the polls by supplying them with whiskey.
 Former Vice President James s. Sherman was dragged into the revela- tion today as working hand in hand with Mulhall in several congressional campaigns.
 The story was told of an abortive attempt to drive President Gompers, of the Federation of Labor out of public life and Mulhall related a doz- en more instances of the underhand methods which he practiced, always With the liberal use of money to furth- CT the purposes of N. A. M. Fair pro gress was made during the day, the committee being now pretty we'll through with the first thousand of the live thousand letters, which he is tell Ing from the witness stand. Tomor- row he will begin his narration of his participation in the campaign of 1908 and sensational disclosures are prom ised
 The day witnessed also the final signing of treaty of peace between tne Senate and House committees on lobby investigation. A compromise mas been effected. Under it's terms the Senate consents to loan Mulhall to the House Committee yet to be named, in order that he may be ques- tioned on matters solely concerning mouse members who are implicated in ms charges. The Senate committee aiso consents that the House commit tee may take J. A. Emery, counsel for .ne National Association of Manu- lacturers and examine him on the bundle of documents he has presented

touching on the matters in hand and finally in order that each side ma, keep informed as to the movement of the other there will be an exchange of testimony and documents as fast as they are entered into the records.
 The House investigation will prob ably get under way tomorrow and as soon as Mullhall's appearance before the Garrett committee can be arrang- ed for. He will be questioned regard ing his charges against Represents tives Sherley, of Kentucky; Webb, of North Carolina, and McDermot, ot Illinois, the three members most af- fected by his allegations.

transformation of modern navies
from coal to oil burners. The report
says the price of oil is steadily creep
ing upward, is now twice as much
as in 1911, and will be a staggering
item in the expense account of the
navy in the future unless the navy
controls its own wells. Even now
the navy is using 100000 gallons
OF oil year and there is likelihood
that this will be increased in the
future to 1875, 1000 gallons. which
must be purchased from the oil COM
panies at their own price.
Therefore, Mr.. Daniels urges, by
the time the Panama Canal is open;
ed the navy should be producing its
own oil from its petroleum reserves
in the Elk Hills and Buena Vista
fields of California; its refineries
should be in operation; oil lands
should be leased in the mid-conti-
nent fields and oil tanks erected at
various ports.
More chaplains, many more, is the
crying need of the navy and Secre-
tary Daniels says it is a. reproach to
the country that it now has only the
same number that it had in 1912.
He recommends not only an increase
in the number of chaplains, but an
appropriation to enable him to en-
ploy on every ship that has no chap
lain a young religious leader to be
known as a welfare Secretary" He
thinks, though, that there should be
a chaplain for every 1000 men in
the service.
