New War Secretary Relieves General
Scott-Too Green to Talk Policy,
He Says

| Washington, March l0.--A plain and
modest looking man, with an Or of bus
mess, walked into the White House early
yesterday, told the messenger he was
Newton d. Baker, just named secretary
OF war, chatted pleasantly for few
minutes with the newspaper men, saw
the president for Is minutes, and then
proceeded to the war department and
took the oath of office.
Mr.. Baker, who reached town yester-
day morning, lost little time in settling
down to his desk. He was asked for his
views as TO the policy to be pursued by
his department.
81 am an innocent" said Mr.. Baker.
81 am new to this business. l shall en-
ter on my duties without preconceived
opinions. | realize have much to
learn"
On leaving the White House he went
to the office OF Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels The pair went together to the
war department and about II o'clock
Mr.. Baker was sworn in by Assistant
Chief Clerk Randolph.
General Scott, who has been acting
war secretary, then presented the mem
bers of the general staff TO their new
chief.
One of the big questions confronting
Mr. Baker relates to his attitude on the
waterpower bin passed Wednesday even
ing by the Senate. This measure is bit
terly denounced by conservationists of
the Pinehot school as a grab" OF vast
power resources and against the public |
interest.
The bill has not yet passed the House, |
and many of Mr.. Bakers friends expect /
him to declare against it.

DELAY IN DIFFERENCE
TO LODGES WISHES
He Could Not Attend the
Session Yesterday
Has Speech

Washington, D. C., March l0.-Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge was made the center
of lively colloquy in the Senate yester'
day, when the Senate finally agreed to
vote Tuesday, March 81. at o'clock, on
the bill Of Senator Tillman Of South
Carolina, TO appropriate Sll,0O0,OO0 for
the purchase or construction OF 10000
ton armor plant. The steering commit
tee met yesterday and decided for the
armor plant bill, which is an administra
tion measure, and Tillman moved that
il be taken up. Senator Gallinger plead
ed that consideration be deferred until
the return of Senator Lodge. Swanson
of Virginia, in charge of the bill for the
invalid Tillman, testify refused, saying
that Senator Lodge might be notified to
return. "The senator from Massachu
sets will take his own time" returned
Senator Gallinger, warmly. mo drag
net will be sent out to pull him in"
Senator Williams of Mississippi walked
over TO Senator Gallinger's desk and sug
gested that Senator Lodge was absent
on a political mission.
Gallinger denied this Indignantly.
Senator Lodge, he said, had prepared
speech on the bill, and it
never had been the custom to consider a
measure in the absence of a senator |
known to be particularly interested in
il. Swanson retorted that as far as he
was concerned the bill should not be de- |
layed by the absence of anyone
Senator Weeks denounced the proposal |
to take up the bill as unusual and un-
fair" This was the first time he said,
Senator Lodge had been absent this win
Ter.
Agreement to vote was postponed
'ventually to March 81 in Difference to
senators Lodge and /nrose, with /.
whom have been associated 20 years"
is Senator Tillman explained.
Senator Lodge is one of the chief op-
,onents of the bill. The vote to take up

SCORE, SO,
FORS.H.S.GIRLS
Defeated the Faculty Team
from Whitcomb High
School, Bethel
GAME WAS FAST,
SOMETIMES ROUGH
A Large Crowd Enjoyed the
Energetic Tactics of
the Contestants

The Spaulding high school girls bas
ketball team took its second game of th'
season from the Whitcomb high schoo
teachers of Bethel in a close game at the
Spaulding gymnasium last evening. The
final score was S to 9.
r''o crowd of rooters was above the
in size, even for the boys games
IA @ game was interesting, to say the
least. Boys rules We're used and there
were intervals in the game when tactics
almost as rough as those employed by
the boys were observed The Bethel
team was somewhat handicapped by the
fact that the baskets on their home floor
are two feet lower than those in the
Spaulding gymnasium. This fact prob
ably accounted for some of the short
throws they made Both sides played a
good "cover up game, the Bethel guards
being especially tenacious. Miss Common
for Spaulding played a fine game, as did
Miss Rourke for the visiting team. Miss
Bugbee was substituted for Miss Rogers
in the second period and Miss Bartlett
went in for Miss Leonard in the last
period.
The victory last evening makes the
average Of the girls team still 1000 per
cent, as the only other game played re-
suited in victory over the same oppo
nents on their home floor by a score OF
IL to l6. So far, no other games have
been announced for the local team,
though it is quite likely that Others will
be played before the season is over.

S-H0UR VOTE
Resolutions Urging Arbitration Of De-
mands OF Employees Confront
Trainmen.

Chicago, March l0.-Numbers of reso
buttons, adopted by commercial organ
izations throughout the United States
urging arbitration of the demands OF
railroad employees for an eight.hour day
with time and half for overtime yes
terday confronted the eight representa-
tives of the trainmen meeting here TO
canvass the recent referendum vote OF
the men on the issue.
About 100000 railroad employees. rep
resenting the 52S different lines in the
country, are involved in the voting,
which has been in progress by mail for
two months. IL is expected that the
formal announcement of the vote, which
is said TO be overwhelmingly in favor of
demanding the shorter day and overtime
pay. when the present wage agreements
expire March 81. will be made to-day.
Members of the conference, who rep
resent the four brotherhoods, engineers,
conductors, tranmen and fremen, and
of which Warren S. Stone, grand chief
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, is the head, pointed out yes
terday that the vote being tabulated is
not strike vote, but an advisory one.
If its result fayors making a stand on
the eight hour issue, the laws of the or
ganization require that demands be
drawn and circulated among the organ
nations before they are presented to the
employers and that period of time, or
linarily g. days, be given the railroads
to consider the demands.
If this should be denied, it was point
ed out, there must be final strike vote
before general tie.up Of the steam
of the country could result.

be represented. Transportation Of the
visiting oarsmen will amount to S, eco. as
the Duluth officials are paying the East

Both Mr.. Claude Zappone. OF the Po-
tomac Boat Club, and Clarence Hecox

ested in sending crews TO the national
regatta, but from the present financial
outlook there is not much chance of the
