Universal Military Bill, Pro- posed by Senator from Ore gon, Fought by American Union Against Militarism.
MAX EASTMAN ONE.
 OF THE SPEAKERS
Statement Made That Military Training Does Not Help Young Men in a Physical Way by Witnesses.
CBy Review Leased wire.)


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-Vigorous opposition to any form of universal military service or training was eX- pressed before the Senate military committee today by several speakers for the Americanf Union Against Mill itarism. Physicians and physical edu- cators, headed by Dr. James War basse, of New York assailed, partic- ularly, the suggestion that physical benefit would be derived from mili- tary training in the schools. They were followed by delegation of col lege men under the leadership of Max Eastman, formerly of Columbus Uni versity
 The committee, which has under consideration Senator Chamberlain's universal training bill and has heard a number of army officers and others in its support, set aside three days in which to hear witnesses designated by the union against militarism. At the outset today representatives of the union made it clear that they were not opposed to building up an ade- quate army and navy but would direct their arguments specifically against any proposal for universal service.
 The group of physicians and phy- sical educators contended that the sort of physical training required in a military course lacks elements of exercise essential to we'll rounded bodily development and that military drill in schools does not really teach boys the art of war because they are too young to handle real weapons and undergo the rigors of adequate instruction.
 MT. Eastman, a student of physio- logy. declared the pschocology of mil itary training is opposed to every edu cational theory of American demo- cracy and that the enactment of com- pulsory military training legislation would be the greatest step backward the nation ever has taken. The sole purpose of military training he said, was to train out of man his indi- viduality and to cultivate the instinct of submission. He argued that ade- quate payment would bring all the soldiers the country might need.
 The present agitation for military training, Mir Eastman said, is only the plea of aristocracy to sustain its position. He satirized the pleasure which he said the socially elect de rived from publication of the fact that Vincent Astor slept at Plattsburg in the same dog tent with his valet. Brent Allenson of Harvard declared that transcription of people to kill without having any say as to whether We go to war is monstrous." He add ed that he hated everything mili- tary" though he was a member of the Harvard Battalion.
 Columbia men who went to Platts- burg, said Edward M. Early of Col umbia, returned filled with the idea that was certain and were not open to discussion of the subject. Rob- ert Dunn. editor of the Yale Courant, took similar view.
 This question of defense" said Dunn, ''is overworked in the destruc- tion of preparations" adding the lin spiratioral addresses" by army off cers and others at Plattsburg had in- culcated fatalistic ideas about war

AJO, Jan. 13-Rioting, started this evening by 200 l. w. W's, was put down after fifteen minutes by Sheriff Miles and five deputies. Several heads were broken in the mob which was driven back to the Clarkstown camp. Mexican Leader Martinez and five Oth- CTS, including one American, were ar rested. Guns were drawn by the of- ficers but no shots were fired. The rioters were headed by four women wearing red sashes. Red flags were carried in the mob.

 Martinez yelled to the MeXicans to rescue the prisoner, and they rushed the sheriff He stood his ground, beating back the Mexicans. Deputies came up to his assistance.

DENVER SOCIETY WOMAN KILLS
 HUSBAND
Mrs. Stella M. Smith, after Be- ing Abused by Lesser Half, Kills Him With Gun-Re- fused Bond for Release.
(By Review Leased Wi-e)

DENVER, Jan. 13.-MTs. Stella M. Smith, told the police late today of l events leading up to the fatal shoot at house in fashionable residence district here early today. Mrs. Smith, ,he police declared, said her husband threatened to tear her clothing from and said he was going to kill her and her raughter by a former mar riage, Mildred Moore.
 Mrs. Smith formerly was the wife of Vim. A. Moore. prominent attor- ney, brother of Julian A Moore. re- gently named district judge here, and sen of former Bishop Moore. at one time located in Cortland. Oregon. She was the step daughter of Alfred Brit ton, of Chicago and formerly of Fort Worth and other Texas cities, who made fortune in the Beaumont oil fields.
 Dry-eyed Mrs. Smith told officials of a night of horror. at the culmina- ton of which, early this morning she shot Smith with a small revolver as he attacked once more. She told how sine stepped over the man lying on the floor beside her bed, called a ser want and. returning. how she feared that Smith was not dead and had shot him again with his own pistol, lean- ing over to place the weapon close to his head
 John Rindle the servant who admit ted Smith. and whom Mrs Smith call ed, told of seeing her fire the second shot
 w. A. Moore. Mrs. Smiths husband 1. until four years ago. went to the house about four o'clock this morn eng. summoned by a servant at the behest of Mrs. Smith who feared for Mildred's safely. Moore took his daughter and went away without go- ing into the house. Mildred cried at leaving her mother. he said. and ask 1, ed him if he had heard her scream I when Smith choked her?
 Mrs. Smith said that as Moore drove away. Smith tried to shoot him. threatening to kill both man and girl, : but that she struggled with him and prevented him firing the pistol he | pointed at them.
 Moore told of vain efforts to secure | policeman to accompany him to the house for Mrs. Smiths protection and said, '1 suppose l ought to have killed Smith myself but l hadn't the heart to do it." :!
 Moore is exerting every energy In his former wife's behalf, has employ ed counsel for. her and has spent much of the time since her arrest at the jail with her. Mrs. Smith was ar rested by the ambulance crew which answered Moore's call to the scene of the tragedy
 The district attorneys office stated tonight that no formal charge would be filed in the case until after ,he inquest Monday. The district attor- ney is prepared to resist any effort on Mrs. Smiths part to obtain bond. on the face of the evidence at pres ent developed. he said. Colorado sta tutes prohibit bond being given in capital cases without the consent of the district attorney.

EUREKA, Cal, Jan. 13.-As dark ness closed down tonight. about half the crew of the United States Pro- , tected Cruiser Milwaukee, which went ashore on the Samoa beach near here about o'clock this afternoon, has been transferred to life saving sta tion by means of brooches buoy and two lifeboats. On board the Milwau- kee when the current carried her into the surf were IS officers and 421 men.
 Navy officers here expressed the be- lief tonight that the cruiser would be total loss. The Milwaukee, which draws 22.6 feet, had been thrown by the breakers into water that was but twelve feet deep at low tide. and the derelict was keeled over at an angle of twenty degrees. He double bottom was filled with water and her engine room flooded It was generally believed she had hole in her hull.
 When the Milwaukee was caught by the current and carried into the break CTS. she was pulling on a cable at tached to the stranded submarine H-3 which went ashore December IA about a half mile from where the Milwaukee now lies. The monitor Cheyenne and the naval tug Iroquois farther off eh hat hol ;nn fn ln kee and were endeavoring to hold the cruiser from the clutches of the surf.
 The tidal current and the weight of the heavy steel hauser that was fast to the submarine proved stronger than the combined power of the three yes sels and all were being dragged shore ward when the hawser leading to the Cheyenne snapped and left the little craft to battle alone with the tide that was sweeping the Milwaukee into the breakers.
 Boatswain Frank Bruce, commander of the lroquois, held on as long as he dared and then saved his vessel from the Milwaukee's fate by cutting the hawser. Lieutenant w. s. Newton, commander of the Milwaukee. tried to follow Bruce's example and get rid of the steel hawser fast to the H-3 which was dragging him into the breakers, but it was too late.
 The hawser. half a mile long, and weighing twenty-four tons, could not be slipped in moment, and before the order to let go could be carried out the Milwaukee had been gripped by the first line of breakers and was hit ting the bottom.
 For nearly ten hours the crew wait ed on the lee side for help from shore. When the sun broke through the fog that had enveloped the vessel since dawn, it was seen that all on board were wearing life preservers.
 Lying as she did at an angle of nearly twenty degrees, it was impos- sible to launch any of the cruisers own boats, but soon life savers of the coast guard service reached the scene from their station two miles distant
 The disastrous conclusion of the Milwaukee's attempt to salvage the submarine H-3 from it's surf-dug cradle of sand left the problem of saving the diver where if was before Lieutenant Newton started operations.

U. S. SPENDING S27,397.26O
DAILY IN PRESENT WAR

1t is costing the United States gov
eminent $27,397,2 $50 each day to
carry on the war. according to the
Wall Street Journal The figures
are considerable to the average mind,
but sink into significance when com
pared to the total cost of the war to
the belligerent nations, which is es-
timated at S142,397,260 daily, or
S5,933,219 every hour.
According to these figures. it costs
this country more to carry on the
war at the present rate than it does
Germany with its millions of men on
the fighting line. This is said to be
due to the high cost of sending sup
plies to Europe to our eXpeditionary
forces there and to the immense pur-
chases of supplies for our armies be-
ing made at present. Another thing
that must be considered is that
Uncle Sam supports his soldiers alb
solutely, down to food and shelter,
while Germany follows the practice of
billeting her troops-that is boarding
them out among the people, two or
three soldiers to house.
The following is the Journals es-
innate of the cost of the war each

STRIKES CRIPPLE THE
L. $, MILITARY POWJR

Seattle, Wash, July 25-North-
western lumber men who hold con-
tracts with the government 10 fur
nish 100000 feet of lumber for
the army environments at American
Lake, Wash, and Des Moines. Iowa,
say that they are expecting cancella-
tions from Washington on account of
the delay in getting out the material.
This delay is due to the strike of tim
Der and mill men, now in its second
week. The strike situation is still at
a deadlock
Manufacturers of southern pine are
certain to get these orders in case of
cancellation, according to local lum-
Der men.
Fifteen thousand metal workers are
prepared to strike, which will Grip
pie the ship building industry here, in
sympathy with the street car men
against any manufacturing concerns
using power or light furnished by the
Puget Sound Traction. Light and
Power company. according to officials
of the metal trades council who met
last night. The strike order, they
say, will be issued so soon as organ
lied labor places the company's pow
er and light on the unfair list.
According TO a special dispatch re-
ceived here yesterday, President Will
son and Secretary Wilson of the de-
partment of labor conferred on the
street car strike and its connection
with the ship building industry and
Secretary Wilson appointed Andrew
]. Peters, of Boston, to confer in
Boston with the owners of the com
wit h a Wow tn aaniru
ment.
Several carloads of strike breakers,
1913 men. were imported from the
east late last night by the company
and are quartered in a car barn of
the company, ready for an effort to
operate the cars. The strike called
out 1900 conductors and motormen.
No cars were run yesterday. The
Metal Trades council contains repre-
sentatives of fourteen metal workers
unions. A strike by them would halt
local steel ship building entirely.
President A. w. Leonard, of the
traction company, has declined that
provision of the arbitration proposal
submitted by the car men. that the
seven men discharged by the Tacoma
Railway and Power company shortly
before the car men of that company
struck. should be reinstated. Refer
ring to the remainder of the offer
that the local status quo existing be-
fore the strike be restored and that
other differences be submitted 20
three mediators. President Leonard
replied that the company was willing
to proceed Immediately to arbitration
of all matters proper subjects of ar
bitration.
James A. Duncan. chairman of the
strike committee for the strikers. de-
clared that this was virtually a re-
fusal of the arbitration, offer.

least after the first stage had passed
and he had been confirmed in COM
plete charge of the shipbuilding pro-
gram. The important fact is that
there should have been no controver-
sy. 1t was put up to the shipping
board and the manager of the fleet
corporation to build ships and get
them into commission as soon as pos
sible. 1t was possible to build both
steel and wooden ships. and there
was general agreement that it would
be good policy at the outset at least
to build as many of both kinds as
could be turned out quickly. AS to
details the public did not know and
cannot know what would be best. 1t
cheerfully would have accepted the
judgment CT Gen. Goethals and Chair
man Denman, had they been able to
compromise their differences and
agree upon program. Their inabil-
ity to do this, in view of the emer-
gency pressing indicated lack of adap-
liability for the work in hand on the
part of one or both. Evidently the
president has concluded that both
shared the responsibility. Perhaps it
was a case of two men being too big
to subordinate their own ideas when
the time came for team work.
With the shipping board reorgan-
ICED in charge of Edward N. Hurley
and veteran naval contractor at the
head of the fleet corporation, Presi-
dent Wilson doubtless will be able to
get the cooperation in pursuit of a
set policy which he was unable to get
from Goethals and Denman. Mr.. Hur-
ley probably will be the dominant
figure in the government shipping en-
terprise. Starting as an engineer he
became a successful American bust
ness man and later his business inter
ests became international in scope.

COCKTAILS AND DENMAN.

The country has had good reason to
think well of Gen. Goethals, who has
a secure place in history as the build
er of the Panama canal Mr. Den
man is not so widely known, but has
come to be recognized as one of the
big men of the Pacific coast. An able
maritime lawyer, he has found much
time to give to public affairs and has
aided in the solution of many social
problems. Esteeming both men, the
public nevertheless will applaud the
decision of President Wilson to re-
lieve them of further responsibility in
connection with the government ship
building program. In looking to a
new organization for better results
than he was able to get any assur-
ances of from Goethals and Denman
the president is doing precisely what
any good business man would do
With the merits of the respective
sides of the Goethals-Denman contro-
versy the public has little concern for
the moment. At this distance it
would appear Gen. Goethals had a lit
tie the better of the argument-at
