ANCHORS OFF FORT MONROE
Mayfower, With President and Mrs
Wilson Aboard. Is Reported,

NEWPORT NEWS. Va, February 12
The naval yacht Mayhower, with
President and Mrs. Wilson aboard. ar.
rived off Old Point Comfort. Va. at
1 80 this afternoon.
The Mayfiower dropped anchor of
Fort Monroe, and it was said on shore,
although this could not be confirmed.
that the President intended coming
ashore.
The Mayfiower is not flying the Presi-
dents flag. and that probably accounts
for the fact that the fort fired no
salute, and there were no ceremonies in
honor of the Presidents arrival. Col.

the yacht off the fort attempted to get
in communication with the commander
to learn If, the President desires any
courtesies shown him by the military

THINKS CONGRESS AGAINST
NEW IDEA OF MILITARISM
Berlin Newspaper Sees That Situa-
ton in Secretary Garrison's Res
ignation From the Cabinet.

BERLIN, February II, via London.
! 1880 a.m.-Although American press dis
patches give no details in regard to the
circumstances of Secretary Garrison's
resignation, the Lokal Anzeiger secs an
indica ton that majority of Congress is
opposed to "the new form of militariza
ton, by proclaiming which President Will
son expected to take the wind out of the
sails of his republican opponents and.
above all. the saber-rattling Roosevelt"
This newspaper expresses the opinion that
Congress undoubtedly represents the ma
jority sentiment in America in opposing
the abandonment of old principles.
The Morgen Post says: 1.-The feeling in
Congress plainly is thoroughly peaceful.
The propaganda for gigantic armaments
which had. been staged by Secretary Gar
rison and Secretary Daniels has received
thus far no sympathy from the repre-
, sentatives of the people. Mr.. Garrison
and his assistant areadly have resigned
and the Secretary of the Navy may soon
follow"

Described as Fanatic,

The man was described to the police
as fanatic whose mentality possibly
was disordcred. The name of the sus-
pected person was not divulged by
Manager Doherty. who said that analy-
sis of the soup had disclosed the pres
eitce of mineral poison. According to
his statement the suspected man did
not return to his room after the ban
uuet. and search of his apartments by
the police disclosed a carefully equip
mel laboratory and several Walls of
poison, one of which corresponded to
the poison found by analysis of the
soup.
Archbishop Mundeiein did not par
take of the soup and thus escaped the
Illness that affected many of the dis
tinguished guests at his table.

PETROGRAD. via London, February
12.-Although a general revival of ac-

opments of more than local and tenn

another sign of the resumption of the

u. s. BEING ROBBED,
IS GOETHALS' VIEW

The liberality OF various Joint
land commissions in settling
claims for property taken in the
Canal Zone has robbed" the
United States of millions. Gen.
Goethals has advised the House
interstate commerce committee
His statement came when he ap-
peared to urge the passage of the
Adamson bill to force the commission
to settle for lands on the basis of their
value when the treaty was entered into
with Panama in 1908. rather than their
increased value as has been the custom.
Huge Increase in Value.
All of the land in the ten-mile strip
along the canal subject to claims would
not be worth more than $1,000.00O as
it's 1903 value. the general said. but it
is likely to cost s17 100000 or $1S.OOO,-
900 at the rates which have been paid.
"The joint land commissiohs-we have
had several Of them-have taken the
ground that as We are a big republic, and
they are rather poor. we should not
pay literally for their lands,'' the gen.
eral said. las a consequence Of this the
values have exceeded very much those
of 1903, and as time goes on land seems
to get more and more valuable. Private
agreements that were made for the sale
of land to us are abrogated and the own
ers go to the joint land commission and
they get additional funds from it.
THE situation now is rather acute.
1T is rather hard to stay there and
see our government robbed the way
it has been in the past.
From 81 to $25 Value.
Asked for specific instances. Gen.
Goethals said that in one case where
a parcel of land was worth ST. hec-
tare in 1902, and an agreement had
been entered into that it should be
paid for at this rate, the owner took
the matter to the joint land commits
sion and obtained SIS hectare.
Chairman Adamson spoke of case
where land that had sold for $500 had
been taken in at $s60.00O by the COM
and the general said he, too,
had heard of 1t. },
The joint commission consists OF
two Panamans and two Americans.

Strong Protest May Follow
Any Change by U. S. in Rule
for Armed Merchantmen

IL the temper of the allied govern
ments can be judged by the feelings of
their diplomatic representatives here.
ii is evident that any attempt by the
United States to change the present
rule permitting the use of American
ports by merchant ships armed for de-
fensive purposes will be met by a
strong protest. Correspondence also is
likely to follow if the United States as

ships without warning.

Itself may take the initiative should

merchant ships entering American wa.
ters are ships of war. and therefore

BAY STATE REPUBLICANS
UPSET OVER CANDIDATES
Senator Weeks Boom. for the Presi-
Dental Nomination Runs Foul
of Movement for Gov. Mccall.

Massachusetts republicans are having
presidential candidates, and hardly a
week goes by but somebody throws an
other monkey wrench into the machin-
cry. The Weeks boom was going
along finely until the Mccall people got
jealous and started a movement for the
sovernor. who. Massachusetts republic
ans say. owes no inconsiderab1e part of
his election to Senator Weeks.
But that is not all. Not content with
confronting Weeks with Mccall. they
have dragged Col. Roosevelt into the
turmoil.
I Representative Gardner. former Lieut..
Gov. Cushing. Charles Sumner Bird and
State Senator Robert NJ. Washburn
have announced their candidacy for
delegate at large from Massachusetts
to the national convention. in these
words:
Combination for Delegates.
I'VE are candidates for delegates at
large from Massachusetts to the re-
publican national convention. We are
tired of vague statements and beating
around the bush. We propose to go
straight to the point and give every
one chance to- know for what he is
voting in the primaries. We don't want
to go unpledged. We do not want a
convention set up for dark horses. We
want Roosevelt for President.
Massachusetts republicans say that it
is fine combination. Mr.. Cushing. it
will be recalled, ran against Mr.. Nc
Call for the gubernatorial nomination
and was defeated. But at present he
is more in favor of Col. Roosevelt than

President Removes Material
for Much Speculation by TAX
ing River Cruise.
WITH MRS. WILSON GOES
ABOARD YACHT FOR REST
Names of Cabinet Officers and Many
Congressman Mentioned as Gar
rison's Successor.

President Wilson took away
from Washington last night ma
terial for much speculation as to
the selection he will make of a
successor to Lindley NJ. Garrison
as Secretary OF War. With Mrs.
Wilson, the President suddenly
boarded the naval yacht May
flower last night and departed for
short cruise down the Potomac
and Chesapeake bay, expecting to
return tomorrow night or Monday
morning. vs-'.r"
AS the trip is intended as a rest for
the President it is not presumed he is
doing more than thinking over the
selection he will make. but it Is expect
ed he will not long delay the decision.
Score of Names Suggested.
A score or more of names, including
cabinet officers. congressman and prom
lNenI IleH SCueTdHys nave DceH su66Soe
ed to the President. and are being
talked over throughout Washington.
Among these foremost consideration is
being given to Secretaries Lane and
Houston and Counselor Polk Of the
State Department, it is said.
The shifting of any cabinet officer to
the War Department would leave va
cancy that would draw further inter-
est. Friends Of Joseph P. Tumulty, the
Presidents secretary, are concerned in
gossip that he may be promoted should
there be cabinet shifting. Mr.. Tum-
ulty is known to have no particular
fondness for War Department work
and is not likely to be considered for
that portfolio, but his friends believe
he stands an excellent chance of eleva-
tion to the cabinet whenever there is
a vacancy in a position that would fit
in with his qualifications and desires.
Several names also have been sug-
gested for assistant secretary Of war
to succeed Henry Breckinridge, but it
is generally taken for granted that the
President will leave the selection to
hl thfs.'vxcxicy"to$the new Secretary
Of War.
