BOND TRUSTEES REFUSE
TO BUILD PLANT
ON old SITE
10 THOSE WHO VOTED BONDS:

Gentlemen--Your board of bond
trustees after a thorough investiga-
tion feel sure that they can not give
you the full value of your money
and build the new light and water
plant on the old site. Since they
have no power to purchase a new
site and their request for the city
commissioners to do so seems to
have failed, we most respectfully re-
fuse to build on the old site know
ing that sooner or later it will be
unsatisfactory to you and reflect no
credit on US. 1t seems to us that the
proper thing to do under the circum-
stances would be to petition our re-
call and nominate three men who
are in sympathy with the old site
proposition and elect them to fill our
places II you want the plant built on
the old site.

in service.

partment, the present chief, Mr..
Ben Driscoll and his two assistants,
Mr.. VIM. Heist and Mr.. Jos LeVay,

voice of the department that these
men have been more than tireless in
giving to the citizens department

fire fighting and in the welfare of
the members. and which can be
pointed to with pride. Mr.. Guy
Arendell was unanimously reelected

u. S. WAITS FOR PAGES
REPLY IN HOOKING CASE
No Further Protests to Be Made at
This Time Regarding Com
mandeerino of Vessels

Until the State Department gets some
reply from United States Ambassador
Page at London to its previous COM
munication to Great Britain on the SUBJ
ject. no further protest win be sent
against the action of the British admiral
ty courts in communicating the Ameri-
can Transatlantic Steamship Company's
steamers Hooking and Genesee.
1t was explained at the State Depart
ment yesterday afternoon that in his
original message to Ambassador Page, di-
recting him to inquire of the British gov
ernment concerning the reported confis-
cation of these ships. sufficient authority
was given him to proceed with a vigorous
protest If the reports were substantiated
at the British foreign office. Since then
the State Department has been advised
officially of the communicating of the
Hooking. but so far has only the word Of
the company regarding the Genessee.
Reports TO the effect that the United
States would act jointly with Latin
American countries that have suffered
from such acts by Great Britain. We're
not treated seriously here. From the
outset of the war the United States has
declined TO act with other neutral coun-
tries in protesting to any of the belli-
gerents. and it is stated that there is no
disposition at present to depart from the
traditional policy of acting alone in such
matters

Soar High. Daniels
Announces.

Bids opened at the Navy Department
yesterday for g.. 422.22 pounds Of struc-
tural steel material for battleships forty
three and forty-four. showed an advance
of . per cent over the prices charged
for similar material for the battleship
California, now under construction, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
Yesterdays bids. which came from the
Carnegie Steel Company. Worth Broth
ers. and the Carbon Steel Company, We're
submitted on the basis OF the companies
supplying the material and the govern
ment navy yards building them.
Despite the advance shown in the prices
for material. Secretary Daniels expressed
the opinion that the navy yards could
build the ships at their estimates IL the
work were awarded them. These esti-
mates. submitted to Secretary Daniels n
week ago. were lower than those put in
by private shipbuilders.
Compared with practically the same
items purchased for the California. which
is being constructed at the New York
Navy Yard. the price on structural ma
terial. according to the lowest bid re-
ceived yesterday. was apparently sa5l.-
'23O more for a single ship than was
paid for these items on the California.

WANTS INQUIRY MADE
Of PHILIPPINE RULE
Republican Member Of Lower House
viii Introduce Measure Calling for
Probe Of Island Government.

A thorough inquiry into the present
administration Of the government of
the Philippine Islands and the rela-
tions Of the bureau of insular affairs
Of the War Department with that gov
ernment will be proposed in Q resolu-
tion that will be offered in the House
next week by Representative Clarence
M. Miller. Of Minnesota. a Republican.
II the resolution Ii adopted, Mr. Miller
Is hopeful that former President Taft,
who was the nrst>American governor
of the Philippines: Secretary of War
Garrison. and Gen. Mcintyre. chief of
the bureau Of insular affairs, will be
summoned as witnesses.
It became known yesterday that II is
the purpose Of Representative william
A. Jones. Of Virginia, chairman Of the
Committee on Insular Affairs, to re-
introduce next week the administration
Philippine bill. The bill. which passed
the House last winter. but failed Of
action In the Senate. grants the Phili-
ppines a larger measure Of self-govern-
ment. and promises them independence
when they prove to be capable of ad-
ministering their own affairs. This
promise is indefinite in terms. as 1t sets
no date when the Philippines shall be
given independence.
Representative Miller makes the charge
that the Jones bill. together with Demo-
cratic "maladministration'' in the Philip
pines. is responsible for what Mr. Miller
describes as "a depIorable state Of affairs
in the islands"
I'm my opinion. the Democratic leaders
of the House will pigeon-hole the reso-
luton Of inquiry" said Mr.. Miller. They
know the facts and are fully aware that
their party would be discredited II the
facts became public through the medium
Of Congressional inquiry"
