 New Method

Af- ter conferring with various members of the Board of Contract and Sup ply, the mayor today announced his plan to do away with ex-Mayor Will sons practice of awarding contracts under tho waiver route.
 Placing the resp pOnsibiHty upon ex- Mayor Wilson and not upon the off1- cers of the Board of Contract, Mayor Atwater stated he would try to place the board upon more efficient and business like basis.
 Ut isn't that We will award con- tracts to the lowest bidder" the mayor said, "but we will try to give them in return for the best results at the smallest cost. The past prac- tice has been unhealthy, and demands an iTnm ediate change

 If the grapevine reports eulanatlng from the jury room in which seven men and five women deliberated five hours last night on their verdict in the manslaughter trial of the famous film comedian for the death of Vir- ginia Rappe are true, the jury stood II to 1 for acQuittal on the last ballot taken just before Judge Louderback ordered them locked up for the night at eleven o'clock.
 And the sanfe report said the juror was a woman

Daugherty Cables To Financier To Return At Once - Requested To Be Allowed To Re- turn January 5 In Or der To Have Opera etiOn.

Havre, Dec. 3.-Charles w. Morse cabled Attorney General Daugherty this morning asking permission to de States until the sailing of the steam ship George Washington on January five.
 Morse was detained by the French authorities on his arrival here yester- day.
 Attorney General Daugherty last night sent a cablegram to MT. Morse at Havre which read:
 Desire your return immediately Take first boat"
 Previous despatches from Havre had intimated that MT. Morse would return on the liner Paris, on which he made the voyage to Trance.
 MT. Morse said that he felt his cablegram yesterday to MT. Daug- herty, in which he said he would re- turn to American when wanted, was somewhat vague and in today's mes sage he asked permission to consult Professor Ettore Marchfafava of Rome; consulting physician to the late Pope Plus, in regard to an op- eratfon. This would necesistate de- laying his sailing until the departure of the steamship George Washington on January five.
 ''The report of my ind1ctrnent in connection with the Tunfs Ship deal" he told the correspondent, "must be unfounded, as I was indicted on that charge mora than a year ago in New ork state, ana the indictment was quashed at the request of the Ship ping Board"
 "Coneerring the reports Of an fn- dictment charging padding Of pay rolls at our Groton, Conn.,, shipyard, this is also impossible as full investi- gation was made by the government officials who reported that there was no padding of payrol1s at Groton. Even had there been padding, inas- much as our contracts with the Ship ping Board all provided for the de- livery of & certain tonnage at so much per ton, the government had no con- cern beyond the fubfilment of our contracts, according to stipulated terms'

English-Jap
 Alliance May
 Be eAbolished
Suggestion Offered with Provision That Japan Be Kept From War Without Notice Of Six Months Or A Year At Least.
By The A. P.)

Washington, Dec. 3-Negotiations in the naval ratio question were prac- tica11y at a standstil1 while the Japan csc delegates awaited further word from Tokio- Al indications were that whatever had been proposed to bring the Chinese and Japanese together did not involve amy abandonment of the 5-5-3 ratio proposed by the United States, but concerned other consid- erations which the Japanese regard as necessary to them.
 Chief among these was understood to be the question of further foTtif1- cation of the American bases in the Pacific which the Japanese wish to see checked. The relation of fortified bases in such to fleet ratio that there was a suggestion the Japanese might regard the 5-5-3 proposal as not in consistent with their standard of na- tfona1 security if details regarding them could be arranged.
 In the general discussion in confer ence circles which has been aroused by secrecy which surrounds the lat est stage of the negotiations, a, num- Der of considerations are being men, toned as among those which might accompany the agreement. One of these the general feeling that the AngIo-Japanese alliance is being dealt with and that there soon will appear a plan, approved by both Great Bri- tain and Japan to abandon that much discussed agreement and substitute 1t with some other sort of agreement to which the United States might be a party. One suggestion is for a set of arbitration treaties between the three powers with a. provision that Ja- pan would not be involved in a war without six mOnthes or a year no tice. Another consideration being dis cussed involves Japan's position in China.
 The general feeling among de1egaes is that concessions to Japan, if they maybe properly so termed, may be made which will cause her to accept the 6@5=3 intact.
