Resignation of Secretary of State
Follows Bitter Wrangle
With President.
LONG-STANDING STRIFE
Executive Charges Secretary Usurped
Powers In Calling Cabinet Meet
mas In Illness of Chief-Ex-
change of Letters.

Washington.-Rob Lansing ended
his career as Secretary of State, after
President Wilson had accused him OF
uburping the powers of President by
calling meetings of the cabinet during
Mr.. Wilson's illness.
Mr. Lansing denied he had sought
or intended to usurp the presidential
authority. He added, however, that he
believed then, and still believed. that
the cabinet conferences were for the
best interests of the republic" that
they we're proper and necessary" be-
cause of the Presidents condition, and
that he would have been derelict in
his duty if he had failed to act as he
did
Letter Prompted Resignation.
AS the record stands, Mr. Lansing
offered his resignation and Mr.. Wilson
accepted it. The resignation was Of
fered, however, only after the Presi-
dent. under date of February Z, had
written asking if it were true that Mr..
Lansing had called cabinet meetings.
and stating that if such were the case
he felt it necessary to say that under
our Constitutional law and practice, as
developed hitherto, no one but the
President has the right to summon
the heads of the executive depart
ments into conference"
Mr. Lansing answered two days la
ter-saying he had called the cabinet
conferences because he and others OF
the presidents official family felt
that in view of the fact that we were
denied communication with you, it was

Germany. wazare confronted with the problem of raising Allied Euro pean standards to those of our own or suffering a consequent lowering of our own standards. To lower our standards, economically or otherwise, will permit Germany to complete that subjugation and will make her doni- nance of 1914 appear insignificant
 America has spent s30,000, 900, 900, and 70,000 lives in the late war be- cause it was to her best interests that the Allies should win. We are srop- ping now with our job five per cent completed. One thing that is evident to an observing and analytical mind in Europe is that Woodrow Wilson, as our representative at the peace table, employed a poor method in ob- taining the peace treaty, knowing, as he did, that 1t would have to be sub- mitted to the Senate for ratifca tion.
 However, it is probable that the president accomplished as much as anyone could have done under the conditions that prevailed at that time. We must remember that our Allies, who were able to win the war only with the assistance of this country. were naturally inclined to dictate an imperia1istic peace which would have
 
 The time that this nation has con- stunned in discussing the League of Nations has cost our Allies from 20
 to 50 years of their national life.
 They are slipping so fast that every
 day of delay now means almost an additional year for rehabilitation on
 the other end Of the curve. Prompt "a atification of the League of Nations, in some form or another, would have strengthened the position of the AL lies materially in reconstruct1ng their economic life. It would have meant that Germany would have been forced to carry out all terms of the Arnis- tice, which would have prevented her from making the penetration in Rus sia which promises to give her such an outstanding position in the new order.
 We must loan money to our Allies but we cannot do so consistently with out loaning them the brains and ability, and furnishing the structure on which to rebuild their industrial | life, on the high standards which we have established for the world. When we do this we assume 8 world lead l ership which will give security to the l ideals which we took to the peace | table.

 The main artery from this district to Market street, San Francisco's s principal thoroughfare, is Kearney street, where once it is declared, within a hour enough reckless spirits could be picked up to start almost any sort of desperate enterprise. Now Kearney is one of the quietest and most respecta ble business streets.

System.

Marshfield-This city is to have gas.
A company known as the Peoples Gas
Co. of Marshfield was formed with a
capital stock of $4,000, fully sub
scribed by home investors.
The contract calls for an expendl-
ture of $4,000 for the plant and equip
ment. Marshfield is the first city in
either Wood or Clark counties to
boast of a public utility of this ma
ture.
Construction on the plant will begin
at once and it is anticipated that the
company will be supplying gas to It's
consumers by Dec i. A complete sys-
tenn will be installed at the outset and
all streets and avenues will have
mains to eliminate the tearing up or
streets as the list of consumers grows
The plant will be submitted to a
test run of thirty days after its COM
pletion, and, if at the end OF that Pc
Rod it is found satisfactory, it will be
accepted and will become the prop
erty of the Peoples Gas Co. of Marsh
field.

MARSHALL NIPS BOOM
Vice President Not Seeking the
Presidential Nomination.
Makes Keynote Speech at Indiana
Convention, Which Endorses Will
sons Administration.
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS.

Indianapolis, May 21.-"Equal and
exact Justice to all men, as a remedy
for unrest was prescribed by Vice
President Marshall In his keynote ad-
dress before the state Democratic con-
ventiOn. He also urged jail sentences
for profteers and increased produc-
ton to relieve the high cost of living.
A boom started for Marshall for the
presidential nomination at San Fran
cisco was nipped in the bud by the vice
president. He said he did not seek the
presidential nomination.
II hold that the Democratic doctrine
of equal and exact justice to all men
and of special privileges to none will
meet all the angry and irreconciled
views of today" said Mr.. Marshall.
The vice president also expressed
the hope that President Wilson and the
senate would reconcile their differ-
ences over the peace treaty and that
1t would be ratified: but said no man
should be read out of the Democratic
party because Of his opinion on the
League of Nations.
"This was, as / understand it." the
vice president said, San American war.
The peace should be an American
peace. The war could not have been
fought successfully as either a Demo-
cratic or Republican war. The peace
cannot bring that real peace which the
American people want If 1t is made
either as a Democratic or a Republic
an peace.
IT still hope that the president and
the senate will reach an accord upon
such terms as will enable the treaty
to be ratified and de jure peace be
made with the government of Ger
many, but as grant to no man the
right to read me out of the Democratic
party nor to say to me that cannot
stand upon it's platform, advocate the
election of its candidates and vote for
them, ], myself, will not say to any
man that his views upon the League OF
Nations inevitably place him without
the Democratic fold. A lifelong advo-
cate Of a resort to courts and not to
force, gave my unqualified indorse-
ment to the altruistic views Of the
president, in the defense of which
views he has broken his body"

STATE ORDERS LADDER
ESCAPES BE REPLACED
Will Enforce Order Requiring Stair
ways for Use as Fire
Escapes.

Madison The Industrial commits
sion has given notice to builders and
contractors that il will hereafter en-
force it's general order No. $40, which
requires that existing ladder fire es-
capes shall be replaced by stairway
fire escapes.
This order was originally adopted IN
1916 to become effective Oct. /, 1917.
Due to war conditions, however, and
the scarcity of iron and steel for other
than war uses, the commission grant
ed permission before that date to
building owners to continue to use
ladder escapes, except where there
were special fire hazards.
