GERMAN CHANCELLOR
STATES PEACE POLICY

Iron Cross. During the last few days
members Of the Reichstag had been busy
writing and wiring constituents that no
more admission cards were at their dis
pOsaL
The noise OF the conversation was
rushed when the Chancellor, clad In a
gray uniform, rose to speak.
Both yon Bethmann- -HOllwes and his
Socialist interrogation found themselves
In complete accord on certain main
points. They agreed that Germany now
dominates the military and diplomatic
situation, and that responsibility for con-
tinuatiOn of the carnage in Europe rests
on tine Allies.
Both ridiculed the idea that Germany's
enemies might crush her or starye her
out, or that Alsace-LoTraine might ever
be suFreudeTed TO the French.
But Scheldemann insisted that all the
belligerents are now thinking OF peace.
"The question OF peace is now upper
most in all the countries at war" ne told
know how to begin negotiations because
i they consider such a step would be a
confession OF weakness"
Scheidemann assailed those who IA
Vored annexation by Germany Of con-
queFed countries, and reminded them
that the Kaiser himself had declared this
was no war of conquest. Then, since
Germanys frontiers are well defended
he urged the present moment as oppor-
tune for a statement from the Govern
msnt OF possible terms Of peace.
The Chancellor made an imposing pic

Senator Tells "Workers" at
Banquet Organization Must
Strengthen Itself in In
dependent Districts
HARRY MACKEY TOASTED

Republican workers in the independent
wards are discussing with no small de-
gree Of elation today the declaration Of
State Senator Edwin II. Ware that he
favored giving more places to them than
to the workers in the wards which are
regularly and solidly Republican at every
election. with a pronounced Ware Cabi-
net under Mayor-clect Smith the workers
feel that the sentiment expressed by the
Senator will soon he born out by ap-
pontmcnts
The announcement of Senator Vare's
attitude ON the distribution of patronage
was made last night at a testimonial dim
ner rendered to Harry a. Mackey at the
Hotel Rittenhouse. Senator Ware said:
"T don't believe in putting all the
places in the wards that 20 Republican
anyway / would give more places to
the wards like the 10th. Then the work
ers already doing splendid WORK would
feel like using greater efforts. Let us
build up the Organization in independent
wards"
Mr.. Mackey declared that the Repub-
lican party is united i'm the city and
state. and that there would be no fac
tiOnal fight within the Republican party
Many who attended the dinner gave
ment.
The dinner was given - Mr., Mackey's
honor by the Republican Committee Of
the 10th Ward. Judge-clect Joseph r.
Rogers, William II. Wilson, recently ap-
pointed Director of ublic Safety; Coroner
knight and Harry w. Mace, the newly
appointed Assistant Director of the De-
partment Of Public Health and Charities
were among the speakers.
Mayor-elect Smith indicated last night
that he will not be neutral in the ap-
preaching state fight Asked what his
attitude toward the Brumbaugh Presl-
Dental boom or a Brumbaugh State
leadership is, he replied:
MY only reply at this time is that |
do not see why I should be called upon
to make any statement at ALL My only
interest now is in getting my administra-
tion fully organized for the advancement
of Philadelphia. When | have anything
to say on the themes suggested to me |
shall speak in terms which will be un-
mistakable.'

 The state industrial school was recommended to be in- cluded in the survey.
 In the afternoon session, the educational outlook of the state was debated, and while the general opinion was the prospects are bright, it would be better if the school system were made more uni form, that is, if the Arizona grammar school graduates should enter Arizona high schools, high school gradu- ates the university and nor nal schools, etc.
 But three school ball teams are lacking Phoenix, Glen dale and Bisbee. The last is not expected, though it is un- derstood the two former will be here today.
 The schedule:

 Bisbee vs. Glendale, 1::3O 3. m.

port would expire at midnight and that he must leave American waters hy 1 o'clock the morning of April 8. Be fore the collector could deliver his message, Thierichens handed him q written announcement of his decision. This operated to lift the American embargo against merchant ships of all European nations leaving this port which had been in effect since yester- day. More than a score of British vessels were immediately permitted to leave the port and the customs houses at Newport News and Norfolk were kept open until 10:3O o'clock, issuing c,earances. Captain Thierichens said he is heart-broken to be compelled to intern. Unofficially he stated he had hoped for the arrival of German forces to give battle to the British and French warships off the coast and thus clear the way for his return to the open sea.
 Up to the last few hours of grace the, German captain had not said word to Washington officials about in- ternment. He had coaled and provi- stoned his ship. Repairs to her boil CTS had been made an deverything was prepared for a dash to sea.
 The decision of Washington govern ment as to the length of time extended the Eitel to remain in neutral waters was reached March Z9. Fourteen days was the period given the vessel to make repairs, and she was allowed A hours in addition, or until midnight af the esventh day of April to leave the territorial waters of the United States

Not bit, but my responsibilities are greater"
 Markham said there was no essen tial difference in the honesty of the man who rises to the head of union than one who rises to the head of a railroad, but the history of several railroad unions has been bad.
 MT. Markham said that the employees of the road receive his most sympa- thetic consideration, and that he had no objections to unions such as are two brotherhoods of enginemen, or conductors, as they were all railroad men, but unions which include both railroad and non-railroad craftsmen are a menace. The witness said that he advertised at regular rates to get the railroad view of the shopmen' $ strike before the public.
 At the time of the strike there were 91 railroads federated; now there are 51 Did you know that?' asked MT. Garretson
 'No but if this system of organiza- tion succeeds in fastening itself on the railroads you will all be sorry," said the witness. He read an exhaustive report giving the history of the strike.

EXTRA SESSION CAUSED
 BY DEMOCRATIC FIGHT

How much the extraordinary session of the legislature will cost the tax payers of this state, The Examiner can only guess. The last regular ses- sion cost $55,O0O The forthcoming session will probably cost as much unless the two Democratic factions in and out of the legislature can come to an agreement of some sort.
 And here is one outstanding tact O. which the taxpayers cannot fail to take notice; that is, that whatever the expense of the coming session will De. it will be the expense of settling a Democratic quarrel. It is inmate rial which faction is in the right, the one plain thing is that it is a Demo cratic expense, and should be charged against the Democratic party at the next election. Nobody outside the party has an interest in the quarrel; only in the expense attending it. The rank and file of the Democratic party have no other interest in it and do not care how it may be settled.
 It is needless for either faction to place the blame for an extraordinary session upon the other. The disinter- ested public consisting of people of all parties, is fully aware that both fac tions are to blame for the lack of ac- complishment in the regular session.

CHICAGO, April 8.-A colIoquy about the honesty ot the man who, starting at the bottom, advances to the head of a great railroad, as com pared with the one who be- comes the head of a great la Dor organization enlivened the session of the United States commission on Indus trial relations. The argument was between Chas. Markham, president of the Illinois Gen. tral railroad, who was on the. witness stand practically all day, and Austin Garretson, pesident of the Order of Rail- way Conductors and a mem Der of the commission.
 During the discussion of the attempt to organize the men of the railroad in 1911, Markham said it had been op- posed by officials of the road as 1t would have left the railroads in the hands of a few men.
 But the railroads are in the hands of few men as it is" suggested MT. Garretson.
 But they are checked by responsi- bilities to the stockholders and the public" replied the witness.
