4 THE MORNIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, MARCH 1-4, 1913. WILSON ADVISED TO SHAKE PLUM TREE Burleson to Ask Chance at 35,000 Jobs in Postoffice Grants. TWO SOLUTIONS VOICED President Also Will Be Urged to Ig nore Question of "Organiza tion" in Making Choice of Appointees. WASHINGTON". March 13. President Wilson's advisers have hit upon solu tions of two of the political problems confronting the Administration which promised to Be most troublesome what kind of Democrats shall get plums from the political tree and how thousands of Democrats throughout the country can have a fighting chance at least to get near the tree. Within the next few days Postmaster-General Burleson Is expected to present for the President's considera tion a plan which will open to Demo crats the 35,000 third and fourth-class postmasterships placed under the civil service recently by Mr. Tart. "Merit Test" May Be Applied. Mr. Burleson said tonight that he had not decided whether to ask the Presi dent for a revocation of this order or not. If he decides against asking for revocation, he will suggest that post masters who benefited by the Taft order be required to pass a "merit test," which would be open also to others. If the President took the first course, thousands of postmasterships would be available at once and If he chose the other Democrats who entered, the merit competition would have as good a chance as Republican Incumbents. Ever since Mr. Taft Issued his famous order, which with a similar one by Mr. Roosevelt put every third and fourth class postmaster In the country in the classified service. It has been sub jected to vigorous criticisms by. Demo craia, wno cnargea tnat Its purpose was to keep in office through Mr. Wil son's term thousands of Republicans who were not In sympathy with the Administration and who received suph protection merely to keep the Republl can political machine In working order. "Organisation" Not to Figure. Mr. Burleson and Chairman McCombs, of the Democratic National committee. have settled on a plan for patronage distribution which also will be sub mitted to the President shortly. If It Is followed, the question whether a can dldate for office Is backed by "organi zation men" or "antl-organlzatlon men' will not figure when he is weighed for a place. The President will be advised to go upon the principle that any man who subscribes to the Democratic plat form and shows his belief in Demo .cratic principles, is politically fit for office. Personal fitness will be considered first, but state factions or pre-conven-tion alliances will have little effect. This disposition has been shown In the first batch of political appointments. ome of the most prominent men whom the President thus far has named op posed his nomination in Baltimore. Factional Lines Ignored. The -appointment today of John Skel ton Williams as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury was viewed by callers at. the White House as an example of the selection of an Independent Demo crat. The selection of Beverly T. Gal loway to be Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Is regarded as an appoint ment In which political affiliations were not considered, since he has served In that department through several ad ministrations. The nomination of State Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt to be assistant Secretary of the Navy re calls his opposition on many occasions o Charles F. Murphy, of New York. Representative Edwin F. Sweet, of Grand Rapids, was picked for the As sistant Secretaryship of Commerce wVh the indorsement - of Representative Bakes, of Michigan, Progressive leader of the Michigan Democracy. Action on the reappointment of Dr. CP. Nelll as commissioner of labor statistics was delayed further In the Senate today when the committee on education and labor decided to take no action toward recommendation of con firmation for several days. Senators Tillman, of South Caronlla, and Over man, of North Carolina, still protested against Dr. Nell's appointment. Portland Herman Wise, Astoria; Thomas Jones, Vala; M. S. Adair, Port land; E. F.

WHALE SLAUGHTER DOE SKVEX BIO. STEAMSHIPS LEAVE SEATTLE SOON. TO Expedition Expects to Catch. 100O Mammoth Sea Animals, Value of Which Would Be $3,000,000. 11 OF CREW ARE MISSING Steam Lighter Cut In Two by I'n . identified Vessel. NEW YORK. March IS. Eleven men are missing, - air believed to have been drowned as the result of a harbor col lision tonight in which a steam lighter, the Wykoff. was run down off Gover nors Island and cut in two by an un identified vessel, thought to be a tug boat. Jess Rawson, a negro, who was found clinging to a broken boom in the water, Is believed to be the only survivor of the Wykoffs crew. Some of the light er's crew were asleep below deck. Those who were awake had only time to leap overboard before the boat was crumpled by the bow of the other ves sel, which continued on her course. SEATTLE, Wash, March 13. (Spe cial.) Preparations for the greatest slaughter of whales ever known in the North Pacific along the Alaska coast are now being energetically made and seven big modern whaling steamships, including the Norwegian floating whale kitchen Admiralen. are being made ready at Seattle to leave for the North ern whaling grounds within the next few weeks. ' In addition to the Admiralen, the whaling steamships Unlmak, Kodiak, Starr I, Starr II, Starr III and Belvldere will leave from Seattle and It Is ex oected that at least 1000 whales will be caught during the season. Aa each whale is worth JS000, the season's catch should represent at least $3,000, 000 to the seven vessels engaged. Last season's catch, with six vessels oper ating, amounted to approximately 800 whales, and with more determined ef forts this year even larger returns are looked for. The whaling Industry, which was or ganized Into sew life by the adoption of modern methods In Seattle last year, has spread from this port all along the Pacific Coast and vessels this sea son will operate rrom urays iiaroor, Trinidad and British Columbia, In addi tion to those leaving here. The Admiralen is equipped with ma chinery to cook the whales, also ele vators for handling the huge carcasses and storage tanks for 4S00 barrels of oil. W. W. H. SAMSON DEAD FIOXEER PASSES AWAX AT ORE GON CITY. NEW YORK, March 13. The South ern Pacific Company, with the concur rence of the Union Pacifio Railroad Company, announced today a modified plan of dissolution under the United States Supreme Courts decree, in place of the original plan-which recently met with serious opposition on the part of tae California Railroad Commission. The new plan as outlined by Julius Kruttschnltt, chairman of the Southern Pacific Company, substantially provides for a traffic agreement without track age privileges to the Union Pacific and Central Pacific. In brief the Southern Pacific Is will lng to carry Union-Central Pacific traffic over the Benicia cutoff and its California terminals, instead of allow ing those roads direct use of this cut off and Southern Pacific terminals. Western PacMe Shot Out. Incidentally, although this was not referred to by Chairman Kruttschnltt, acceptance by the Federal authorities and the California commission of these provisions effectually would bar out the Western Pacific road, which has as serted its right to the use of the Benicia cut-off and Southern Pacific terminals. "The modified agreement," said Mr. Kruttschnltt, "will be submitted to the Circuit Court in the St. Louis district on Saturday and complete details have been telegraphed to the California com mission." The agreement, it further was said. has the approval of Attorney-General McReynolds and Southern Pacific offi cials are hopeful of its acceptance by the Circuit Court and the California authorities. Stock Market Hears New. Chairman Kruttschnltt" s announce ment followed a day of unusual activity at New York headquarters of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific lines. Some intimation of its Import became known In stock market circles shortly before the close and was followed by a spurt In the so-called Harrlman shares, espe cially Union Pacific Union Pacific directors held two meetings, a special conference to act on the new agree ment being called for the late after noonand lasting well into the night. . Robert S. Lovett, chairman of . the Union Pacific road, declined to com ment on the new plan, but It was inti mated that a statement dealing with the latest developments probably would be Issued after another meeting of the Union Faclfio directors scheduled for tomorrow. Failure of the Federal Court and the California commission to accept the new plan by Saturday midnight will involve the forfeiture of $1,250,000, which the Union Pacific agreed to pay an International banking syndicate or ganized by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to finance the sale of Its Southern Pacific hold ings, amounting to $125,000,600.

SPONGE LAW CASE UNIQUE Seven Tears After Operation Action "Halted by Limitations Statute. CHICAGO, March 13. If a sponge is left in the abdomen of a patient after an operation and is not discovered for seven years, does the statute of limi tations apply from the date of the in sertion of the sponge or the date of the discovery. That is a question which United States District Judge Carpenter was called upon to decide today. It arose in the case of George N. Montgomery, of Jacksonville, Ala., against Dr. Charles E. Kalke, of Chicago. The plaintiff avers that the physician neg ligently left the sponge in the abdo men after an operation for appendicitis. Seven years later, Montgomery says, physicians found the sponge and re moved it. Attorneys for the defense Insisted that the statute of limitations had ex pired in the case, averring it began to apply at the time of the original operation. POULTRY CONTEST STARTS Y. M.. C. A.

Mark Norris Tells of System Grand Rapids, Michigan. at Mark Norris, lecturing on the schools of his home city of Grand Rapids, Mich., at the Public Library last night told how, by Introducing business effl ciency Into the management of the schools, $40,000 was saved the first year that the new system went Into effect in Incidental expenses alone, without impairing the educational efficiency of the schools. Two features of the school system of Grand Rapids were dwelt on in detail by Mr. Norris the open-air schools and the vocational guidance feature. He said that the system In use had been to broaden the view of the chil dren, give them a serious idea of life and Its responsibilities, and help many of them to enter useful occupations on leaving the school.

WEED BRANCH TO BE SOLD Acquisition by Southern Pacific Pro vided for in Agreement. SAN FRANCISCO, March 13. Modi fied plans for dissolving the Harrlman merger of the Union Pacific-Southern Pacifio properties, as submitted to the California State Railroad Commission tonight, differ only slightly In their larger aspect from the original plans put forward by the Harrlman execu tives, approved by ex-Attorney-General Wlckersham and rejected by the Cali fornia Railroad Commission, which upheld the objections of the Western Pacific, a unit In the Gould system of railways. They avoided, however, the stumbling block in the path of the first proposals, namely, an exclusive lease by the Southern Pacific to the Central Pacific of the Benicia Short Line be tween Oakland and Sacramento, the western terminus of the Central Pa- cilic system, which another clause of the agreement provided was to be ac quired by sale by the Union Pacific, thus giving the last named system a direct outlet on San Francisco bay for Its transcontinental traffic. The amended plans were submitted to the Commission at 8 o'clock tonight by counsel representing Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific executive board. From authoritative sources of information it was learned earlier that the Union Pacific would avoid the difficulties explained by seek ing permission for an agreement to reach San Francisco bay over the Southern Pacific's alternative line, via Stockton and Nlles, In general, the modified proposals were understood to Include the follow ing specifications: 1. Lease by the Central Pacific to the Southern Pacific of the line from Tehama north to the Oregon boundary. 2. Lease by the Central Pacific to the Union Pacific of all Its California lines, except the line from Tehama northward, as specified. 3. Sale by the Central Pacific to the Southern Pacific of the branch line from Weed, CaL, to Klamath Falls. Or. None of these specifications affects the sale of the Central Pacific to the Union Pacific, which, in Its National and Interstate aspects, is conceded by the Commission to be a matter out side Its jurisdiction. These provisions. It was believed, would be found to in clude substantially the amended plans, and the Intimation was that they would be acceptable to the Railroad Commis sion. The Western Pacific was asked to send representatives to the hearing. The Califorina State Railroad Com mission tonight gave a contingent statement of the attitude It will as sume. 'The answer Is contingent upon the points, which now appear vague, being as represented . by counsel for the Union Pacific, these points respect ing principally the rights of competing roads on the Benecia cut-off, and upon the attitude of the Attorney-General of the United States and the Federal Courts upon the sale of the entire Central Pacific stock to the Union Pa cific The Commission stands where It did In the original opinion that the Union Pacific could 'gain its' outlet to the 200 GIRLS HOLD UP CAR Angry Strikers Chase Man Said to Have Struck One of Number. TRENTON, N. J.. March 13. Two hundred girl strikers at the Strauss woolen mills on the outskirts of this city held up a trolley car tonight and blocked service for 40 minutes because Holdsworth Robinson, who is accused of striking one of the girls, sought refuge In the car.

It is alleged he struck the Soltls girl and fled, closely pursued by the girls. SULZER REMOVES SCOTT Prison Superintendent Ousted .on Charge of Neglect of Duty. ALBANY, N. T., March 13.

BOYS HELD FOR ROBBERY DAVTI) CURTIS AND WILLIAM SHADRICK ARE CAUGHT. One Confesses to Recent Burglaries, Involving Other Also; Prisoners of Good Families, Is Belief. Two boys, 19 and 20 years old, mem bers of a cram; of three whose opera tions are believed to cover the 20 re cent early evening and afternoon bur elaries. in which loot worth 35000 was taken, were captured last night by De tectives John Moloney and Hammersley after George H. Lewis, of 545 East Oak street, one of their victims, nao. traced them to their homes. They are David Curtis, of 455 East Ankeny street, and William Shadrick, living at the Bel more Hotel, whose parents reside in University Park. Both are reform school students. One of the two made a confession In which he placed blame for the bur glaries of the home of Lewis, the home of C. Fallas. at 400 Clay street, and bungalow on Tenth street, in Hood River, Or., upon himself and his com panion. Other burglaries he refused to confess, although the operations In the houses burglarized indicate that others of similar methods In the past month are also their work. Lewis' home was robbed Saturday afternoon, and one of the two arrested told Lewis, after the capture, how they "hung around," until they saw the last member of the family leave, and then entered the place.-They took a suitcase belonging to Lewis, and in It a quantity of clothes, jewelry and personal posses sions. Lewis picked up the trail of his stolen possessions in a pawnshop, and from it traced the boys. Unbalked by the fact that the de tectives took little stock in bis discov eries, Lewis kept on, and at the address given in the pawnbroker's list, came upon one of the two young men. Then, with Detectives Moloney and Hammers ley, he stayed in the house five hours last night until the other young man came in early this morning. Both were charged with vagrancy. and held in the jail until further trac ing of their operations can be done this morning. Both young men are of good families.
