Chairman Hi|Ies of Republican
National Committee Cites
Need of New Laws.
EXPECTS PARTY CANDIDATE
TO BE BORN IN CONVENTION
Believes Roosevelt Is Not in Race,
But Does Not Know What JUS
tice Hughes Attitude Now Is.

CHICAGO. January 25.-Charles d.
tional committee, before leaving for
New York today, after attending the
session of the subcommittee on ar
engagements for the party national con-
vention in June, discussed the possib
candidates. of Col. Roosevelt and JUS
tice Hughes for the republican nomi-
nation for the presidency and urged the
necessity for the adoption of uniform
national primary election laws by all
the states.
They insisted that they meant just
what they said, and we will take the
statement at it's face value. / think
we will be able to nominate man who
viii be satisfactory to all elements of
the party, and that our candidate will
be elected.
in regard to Justice Hughes. no one
one knows just what his attitude is
today toward the presidency. In dis
cusslng the subject with friend in 1912
Justice Hughes said when he went on
the United States Supreme Court
bench he took the veil and renowned
the world. l think he was in earnest
when he made that statement, but
whether he has sincce changed his mind
l do not know.
In speaking of Col Roosevelt. Chair
man HilleS said:
All the information I have on the
subject is to the effect that Col. Roose-
welt is not a candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for President. He
has declined to permit his name to go
on the spring ballot in the only three
nesota. Nebraska and Michigan. That in
diCateS that he is not a candidate

Anticipates G. O. P. Victory.

"In the statement Issued by Chairman
Perkins and the progressive national
committee it was made plain that any
reasonably satisfactory man would be
acceptable as the republican nominee.
There is no man big enough to re-
fuse the presidency, in my opinion. II
he were nominated without his consent,
| have no idea what he would do. AS
L said yesterday, l believe we have a
number of able men in our patty for
candidates and 1 think the ca ndidate
will be born in the convention"

Cites Need for Primary Reform.

Chairman Hilles called attention to
the conflicting provisions of the direct
presidential primary laws adopted by
the different states, and expressed the
opinion that it would result in much
uncertainty and confusion.
There will be 9S5 delegates in the
next republican national convention,
and of this number SOB. or about 81 per
cent. will be chosen by direct primary.
In 1912 about 25 per cent of the dele
gates were elected by direct primary.
presidential primaries in all the states.
in my opinion said Chairman EIilles.
Il think model should be prepared
embodying the best features of the
various state laws. and that the pri-
mary should be held in every state on
the same date. I think some action
on the subject will be taken by the
next national convention"

UNIVERSITY ANSWERS
MR.. GOLDSM|TH'S SUIT
Georgetown President Says Diploma
Was Denied Because Plaintiffs
Work Was Not Satisfactory.

Georgetown University, by Rev. A. j.
answer to suit for discovery, brought
some weeks ago by Myron B. Gold
smith. who was refused a diploma after
completing course in dentistry at the
university. Mr.. Goldsmith said he was
told it was a faculty secret when he
asked why he had not been given his
degree last June. He claimed to have
made a satisfactory rating for a
diploma.
The university, in it's answer, denies
that Mr.. Goldsmith complied fully with
the requirements of the curriculum,
and asserts that his work in the in
Urinary attached to the school was not
regarded as satisfactory by the super
intendent and demonstrators. 1t is ad-
mitted that the written examinations
of Mr.. Goldsmith We're good. but it is
alleged that work in the inf1rmary is
an essential part of the course in
which no general examination is held.
but ratings are made from inspections
of the work of each student by the
superintendent and demonstrators.
Faculty Secret" Is Denied.
Denial is also made of the statement
that the refusal of the diploma was a
faculty secret" but it is admitted
that Mr.. Goldsmith might have been
told that 'if other reasons existed they
rested with the faculty" after he had
been informed that his work in the in
Urinary had initiated against him. The
college denies that it entered into a
contract to give a degree after three
years of study, but declares that the
students were authorized and entitled
to the instruction provided during each
year of the term.
The fitness of students for gradua-
ton and degree is always determined
by the faculty, the court is told, AMI
the claim is made that Mr.. Goldsmith
has not made such showing as would
entitle him to have the court require
the university to issue the diploma.
Attorneys Hamilton, Yerkes & Hamil-
ton appear for the university. Mr.. Cold
smith is represented by Attorney John
Ridout.

STATE AND FEDERAL
CONTROL CONCEDED
Provisions of Water Power
Leasing Bill Submitted by
Senate Committee.
MEANT AS SUBSTITUTE
FOR HOUSE MEASURE
Fixes Jurisdiction Over the Inter
state and Intrastate Interests.
Report Giving Details.

Recognition of both state and federal
jurisdiction over water power sites in
the United States is conceded in a
water power leasing bill submitted to
the Senate today by the public lands
committee as a substitute for the Fer
ris bill recently passed by the House.
The measure directs that all inter-
state business in connection with water
power grants shall be under control of
the interstate commerce commission,
leaving to the respective states the
regulation of intrastate business. The
bill would lease water power sites for
a term of fifty years unless the appli-
cant should desire a shorter lease and
the Secretary of the Interior should
see fit to grant it. The House bill
also would provide for fifty-year leases,
but would give the federal government
at all times full control and regulation
of the projects.
Report of the Committee.
In the report of the Senate committee
submitted by Senator Myers of Mon
tana. the chairman, it is declared:
The bill distinctly recognizes the
ownership of and the right of control in
the states of the use of the waters in
the flowing streams of the states. In
cases where latent power is going to
waste in the streams of the states and
where the land adjacent thereto and
necessary for the location of power
sites belongs to the United States
government. this measure recognizes
that there must be cooperation be-
tween the states which control the
water and the United States govern
ment, which owns the land. Neither
alone can successfully develop water
power
THE bill in no wise seeks to en-
croach upon. impair or destroy any of
the rights of the states. 1t is not in
tended in any wise or in any degree to
trench upon the right of the state to
the control of the water flowing in the
streams within it's borders"

Department OPPOSES
ADOuSH|NG FIRE STOPS
Commissioners to Investigate Care
fully Every Phase of Situation
Before Acting.

With the fire department opposing
the suggestion of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company for abolish
ment of fire stops" this question to-
day gave promise to developing consid-
cradle public interest and of giving the
Commissioners a difficult problem to
solve.
William NICK. Clayton called at Com
missioner Brownlow's Office to give his
Endorsement to the proposal. His sug-
eestion is that alarm signals be in
stalled at the fire stops" and that all
vehicles. street cars included, be re-
Quired to stop when fire apparatus is
approaching.
Something has got to be done to
speed up traffic" said Mr.. Clayton, land
i believe adjustment of the fire stops
would be step in the right direction.
would, as matter of precaution,
there should be signal bells at these
points for all traffic"
Gives List of Accidents.
Acting Fire Chief James Keliher
thinks the responsibility for avoiding
collisions should rest primarily upon
the street car company. He made pub
lie list of accidents caused by colli-
sions before the stops" were installed.
July ?. 1900. there was a collision be-
tween No. hose wagon and a street
car at 9Th and II streets northwest, as
a result OF which Frank J. Wagner,
now chief of the department, received
a fractured skull and broken wrist :
Martin ]. Nyland. a substitute fireman,
was killed and &. f. Shaffer perma :
nently injured.
In a collision between a truck and
cable car December 10. 1900, Bat
TALON Chief S. r. Henry then foreman
of No. / truck, and Privates T. r.
Newman and G. r. Ash were seriously
injured
AS the result Of a collision between
No. truck and a street car at Con-
necticut avenue and M street February
Z, 1901, Private c. A. Keefe was killed.
Every Phase to Be Investigated.
Commissioner Brownlow TODAY said
the Commissioners would not act on
the suggestion Immediately, as they in
tend to investigate carefully every
phase of the case.
Officials Of the railway COMPANY point
out that the compulsory "stops' mean
the loss of about 200 hours of travelling
time each day. They do not believe
that adjustment of the stops would in
crease danger to traffic to any appre-
ciable extent and point out that the
time saved would enable them to i'm
prove service and speed up the sched-
uies on many Of the company's lines.

Vacationers.

I've been where countless peo
pie went for recreation and re-
pose, where forty kinds Of scads
are spent for motor rides and
things like those. There were, for
those who had the price, all kinds
of harmless, cheerful snares, and
there was every known device to
make man forget his cares. l
sat and watched them all day
long beneath a quaking aspen
tree; to find so sad and glum a
throng, a funeral you'd have to
see. The tourist plodded on his
way as though he'd lost his dear
est friend; his face, respondent,
seemed to say, "I'll see this ordeal
to the end" With gloom ex-
pressed in every act, he went the
rounds, where others went, and
saw the Rainbow Cataract, or
gazed on takers i'll a tent. The
Windy Cavern he explored and
trailed along some dizzy curve,
and all the while he looked 80
bored the guides and spielers lost
their nerve. l saw 10000 tour
lists thus; they logged along
through scenes sublime, and
looked as though they'd like to
cuss SO vain a waste of precious
time. WALT MASON.
