PRINCE AND STOCKYARDs

The federal trade commission has been informed by it's counsel that Frederick 1T. Prince of Boston was the so-called high flnancier who invented and then consummated the deal which appears to involve the Chicago packers. Mr Prince long ago gained high reputation for espe- cially great success in taking hold of noribund properties and then quickening them into life. He seemed to take greater pride in achievement of that kins than qualification ir any pecuniary sue cess the transaction brought to him. IT is spoken of as man of singularly astute mind, not broad. perhaps, bu, keen, deep ano often far-seeing. Per sonally he has gained the friendship ot many persons because of a charm of manner which distinguishes him. Yer, likely Mir Prince may. through his Bos ton associations, have learned the his tory of Boston's initiative in buildin. trans Mississippi railroad systems and establishing stockyards at Omaha and Kansas City and possibly in that way his attention was directed to the financ. ing respecting which MT. Heney is no, offering evidence to the federal trad>l commission.

bank of New York. Mr. Thayer's estate was so large and involved such careful attention that his two sons devoted themselves exclusively to the mainte- nance of the estate. One of the sons was the father of F. V. R. Thayer. The presumption has always been in Boston that among the assets in the Thayer estate was a great deal of property rep resenting the railroads and stockyard in- vestments. If that be SC, it is reasonable to assume that E. V. R. Thayer became well acquainted with these properties, aud also with the manner in which the Chicago packers secured the Omaha and Kansas City yards. It is possible. if not probable, that before the present in- vestigation Is ended it may be shown that Mir.

az ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Jan. 12.-In a note to neu-
trial nations and to the holy see, Count
Czernin Won Chudenitz, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, has set
forth Austria's views on the situa
ton created by the entente reply to
the central powers.
The note, although not identical
with the German reply, follows the
same lines.
The document says: "The question
as to on which side the military sit
uation is stronger appears idle and
may confidently be left to the judg-
ment of the world The central pow
ers look on their purely defensive
aims as attained, while their enemies
travel farther and farther. from a
realization of their plans"
In conclusion the note declares:
Before God and mankind, we repud-
late the responsibility for the con-
tinuance of the war"

.T[UTON ARMY CAPT. JAYNE
PUSHED BACK ARRIVES HERE.
New Commandant of Aero
nautic Station Comes
to Assume Duties.


Captain j. L. Jayne, recently as
signed to assume command Of the
aeronautic station at the yard here,
arrived yesterday, and will immed-
lately assume the duties of the office.
Captain Muslin, who has been IN
command of the station since its es-
Establishment, viii remain there for
two weeks acquainting the new Off
Ger with the peculiar conditions and
preparing to leave.
Captain Muslin is at present un-as-
signed, bat because of his three years
of land duty will probably be sent
aboard ship, if he is moved. Captain
Jayne brings with him his family,
and will Immediately occupy the
commandments quarters at the navy
yard.
The change was made, it is an
nounced, under plans of the navy de-
partment for increasing the scope of
the navy yard as an auxiliary base
for naval vessels in the gulf. To
thus develop the yard it was neces-
sary to place another officer in COM
mand, and as Captain Jayne has not
specialized in aeronautics, it will
probably mean the appointment of
another officer to supervise this
work.

Heated Debate Between
Republicans and Demo
Gratis Over Inquiry.
EXPECT LAWSON
TO REFUSE
Democrats Say Roosevelt
Helped Wood to Tie
Presidents Hands.
BY ASSOCIATED Dress.

Washington, Jan. 1c.-Clothed with
power for forcing the witness to tes-
tify the house rules committee will
call Thomas w. Lawson before it
again, probably Monday, to demand
the name of the congressman who,
he says, told him that cabinet Off
Ger, a member of congress and a
broker were in a conspiracy to make
money in the market on official
secrets.
IF Lawson refuses, and it is gem
orally believed that he will, the COM
mittee win report him either to the
house or to the district courts for
contempt.
This plan was agreed upon BY the
committee after a heated debate on
the floor Of the house between re-
publicans and democrats. The repub-
leans charged the democrats feared
the leak inquiry and the democrats
insisted that the republicans stand
on partisan politics.
Representative Henry declared that
the republicans are in conspiracy
against the democratic adininistra-
ton. He said that Representative
Wood, author of the leak investiga-
ton resolution, was given aid by
Gardner, of Massachusetts, and even
Roosevelt helped because the presi-
dent was seeking to bring about peace
and these gentlemen are trying to tie
his hands
The plan to give the rules commit
tee the power to make Lawson testify
was suggested by Representative
Santrill, of Kentucky, democrat
and came as surprise to both sides

REPLY To NOTE
is DISCUSSED
Members of Cabinet at
Meeting Believe Way
is Still Open.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE attitude
of President Wilson toward replies
of the warning nations was discussed
at today's cabinet meeting.
In one quarter it was suggested
that one or more European neutrals
might urge Germany to make public
her terms and the others Thought
that a voluntary statement might be
forthcoming from Berlin.
1t was generally agreed that the
nature of the entente terms coupled
with the German intimations that the
terms cannot be accepted, will make
an early peace unlikely,
The administration is still certain
that the door to discussion is not
entirely closed. In the German view
it rests entirely with the president
vkether there shall be further nego-
tiations.
Il is believed that any proposition
Mr.. Wilson makes will be considered
by the Germanic allies, and that they
probably would be willing even to
agree to discuss the conditions in the
entente reply.
