Board Exonerates
Osborne; 1ndorses
: aNavalP Prison Work
Investigators Find No Lack
of Discipline; immortality
Charges Disproved; Dual
Control Plan Called Faulty

From The Tribune's Washington Bx7sau
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The ad
ministration of Thomas Mott Osborne,
as commandant of the Portsmouth
Naval Prison, was cleared to-day of
charges Of immortality and lax disci-
pline and received the approval of the
special board Of investigation. The
board was composed of Assistant Sec
retary Of the Navy Roosevelt, Rear Ad-
miral H. o. Dunn and Rear Admiral A.
S. Halstead.
The board recommended that control
Of the prison be vested in some bureau
Of the Navy Department instead of In
the commandants Of the Portsmouth
Navy Yard and the first naval district,
as at present.
Secretary Daniels made public the
following excerpts from the report:
"The board found the sanitary and
physical conditions to be very good.
The board found the general situa-
'tien In regard to the guarding Of pris-
oners and their wellbeing to be salts
factory. The former question of dual
control in this respect has been adjust
ed satisfactorily by the executive ac-
tion of the commandant. The results
of the guarding Of prisoners by pris-
oners on the prison side of the deadline
is proved. to be justified by the result
obtained, only eight prisoners out of a
total of more than $500 having sue
ceeded in making good their escape
over period of more than two years.
"In regard to rumors and reports
bearing on general conditions in the
ION that these we're based almost wholly
on hearsay evidence and unreliable wit
nesses; that no facts were developed to
Indicate conditions of lax discipline or
immortality existing in the naval prison,
or that the prisoners in any way consti-
tute menace to the safety of the navy
yard or property in the communities of
Kittery, Portsmouth or surrounding
territory"

Commerce Commission.
Utilities Board Invoked

Three public forces in New Jersey
went into action yesterday against the
threatened increase in Hudson Tunnel
fares between Jersey City and Manhat-
tan, from Ave to eight cents.
Injunction proceedings which will
grant commuters relief, were fore
Swallowed by the Jersey City Chamber
of Commerce. Hoboken called on the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
for assistance: Jersey City will fight
Its battle on the strength Of an agree
ment which Is declared to exist be-
tween the city and tho Hudson and
Manhattan Railroad Company. calling
for five-cent fare.
Willard G. Stanton, manager of the
Chamber Of Commerce, said it was
certain that the chamber will oppose
the advance by seeking an injunction.
The chamber plans to make application
for writ requiring the Interstate
Commerce Commission to show cause
why 1t should not be restrained from
sanctioning tho increase. To fight it
out in the courts on this line, Mr..
Stanton said, will take all summer,
But the proceedings are expected to
clrcumvent the company's intention of
raising fares on April 4.
The Jersey City Commissioners, &C.
T, STordi,ng to statement made by Mayor
FRANK Hague, will instruct their Cor
poration Counsel to fight the increase
on the strength of the agreement
Mayor Hague said that when the Hud-
son tunnel was opened Jersey City
gave the company valuable terminal
properties at Grove Street in return
for an undertaking that the fare be-
tween Jersey City and downtown New
York should remain fixed at five cents.
The threatened boost in fares sup
piled the chief item Of discussion at the
meeting Of the Hoboken City Commits
sioners. A resolution calling upon the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the Board Of Public Utilities Of New
Jersey for an inquiry as to the reason
ableness of the proposed increase was
adopted.
ut is an outrage that the company
should raise fares at this time, when
its service is plainly inadequate and
constitutes menace to public health"

the talk on the resolution, which he

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
SEATTLE, Wash, March Gov
crnor Louis F. Hart to-day issued a
proclamation convening the Legislature
In special session at noon Monday,
March %, to "provide funds for con-
tinuing the work of the University
of Washington, the Washington State
College and the several normal schools,
and to ratify the suffrage anne endment
to the Federal Constitution, and for
such other matters as the Legislature
may deem necessary"
A canvass of state legislators some
time ago indicated that the suffrage bill
will pass without question by large
majority.
Governor Hart said emphatically that
consideration of suffrage alone was
not responsible for the call for spe-
cial session. He points out the urgency
of remedying the financial condition
of all state institutions of learning oc-
casioned by recent increases in sal
aries.
Washington is the last Of the states
having state suffrage to fall in line
for the Federal amendment.
The Tribune received telegram
from Governor Hart few days ago
III answer to query about ratifica-
ton prospects. He said then:
probabilities are that the Washing
ton state Legislature will ratify
suffrage amendment when it con-
yenes"

as ever on the other states where we

from the beginning that they could not
prevent our getting thirty-tive states,
but that they would fight against the

against overconfidence at the end.

 Voting at Dakota's first state pri- mary under the Richards law, came to a close at five p. m. and managers for various candidates predicted early tonight that fairly heavy vote was cast throughout the state. Splendid weather prevailed although country roads were muddy.
 Managers for Hiram Johnson, Leonard Wood, Miles PoindeXter and Frank O. Lowden each issued state ments claiming that their respective candidates for endorsement by the Republicans of the state would re- ceive a plurality.
 A number of candidates for national and state officers were automatically nominated. The Richards primary law provides for such process when candidates have no party opposition. The ticket of the national non-parti- san league, which has a party status in South Dakota. was not on the pri- mary ballot.
 The Democrats had few contests. The ticket for state offices endorsed at the Pierre convention was not con tested. There were no congressional contests.
 James w. Gerard of New York and James o. Monroe. of Haywood, H., sought Democratic endorsement for president. There were contests ga lore on the Republican ballot.
