PREDICTS A NEW BRAND OF INSURGENCY Appointive Successor to Dolllver Says Democratic Victories Were Won on Arguments Delivered in Senate by Republicans Must Have Protection or Free Trade. Washington. D. C, Dec. 15. In his maiden speech in the senate today Lafayette Young of Iowa, opposed the plan of his colleague, Senator Cum mins, for a revision of the tariff schedule by schedule. Young was ap pointed by Governor Carroll to fill the unexpired term of the late Sen ator Dolllver. Concerning the tariff he said that he admitted there were gross Inequalities In the tariff and always will be. He said: "I charge that New England is drifting into a strange Intespretatlon of the square deal when she demands protection for manufactured articles and free trade for food products. If Massachusetts decides to abolish duties on farm products there will arise a new brand of insurgents that will make the pres ent brand look like boy scouts. He said If the protectionists begin fight ing It will end in free trade. "The arguments upon which the country elected democrats last elec tion were laid down In this senate by republicans. If the democrats elect a president In 1912 It will be on argu ments delivered in the senate by re publicans. These senators in every ca8 voted to revise schedules without reducing the duties on products pro duced by their own people. If Mass achusetts Is In earnest It will be an end of tariff duties. Protection must help all or none of us." STItlKEHS ATTACK DETECTIVE AND TWO ARE KILLED Chicago, 111., Dec. 15.

M'LACIILAN OP CALIFORNIA WANTS PACTS MADE KNOWN General Wood Has Also Informed K'ongress Regarding Inadequate Figlillng Facilities Is Xo Alarmist Rut Says Country Should Guard Against Oriental Attack. Washington, D. C., Dec. 15. The war department has re- vised its report to congress on the preparedness of this country for war. The decision was reached at a conference between Taft, Dickinson and Chairman Hull of the house committee on military affairs. Washington, Dec. 15. The United States is unprepared for war. The Pacific coast Is practically defence less. This It Is learned today was the substance of the report setretly pre sented to congress yesterday by Sec retary of War Dickinson. It Is admit ted that the defense condition of the Pacific coast Is alarmingly poor. The report says that the army lacks the proper kind of men; there is great need of guijand ammunitions and of many more soldiers and the extensions of fortifications for coast defense. Representative McLachlan of Califor nia, who was responsible for the prep aration of the report.says the report should be made public. He said It would be a crime against the people and a betrayal of posterity to deceive the public regarding the true situa tion. McLachlan continued: "If we have an inadequate army and an inade quate national defense now Is the fme, when we are at peace with the world, to correct, a situation before It Is too late. I will fight to a finish for the publication of this report. Other congressmen, Including Hobson, agree that further concealment would be criminal." MemlKsrs Reveal Reiort. Members of congress who saw the document before Its withdrawal say the report of Secretary of War Dick inson points out that the country Is wholly unprepared for yar: that there Is a woeful Inadequacy of men, guns and ammunition: that the army should be reorganized and that a council of national defense, with a secretary of war at Its head, should be created by congress. General Wood's Advice. The report of General Wood, mark ed "Confidential," dealt with these matters and gave official notice to matters of more or less common knowledge among army and navy ex perts In this country and abroad. In fact, the real significance of the doc ument is that it makes official admis sion of conditions already well known among army and navy officers.. Gen eral Wood, before the house military committee, furnished some Interest ing Information. He discussed the whole subject of national defenses; told where the weak points lay. and laid 'particular emphasis on the pos- gal by reason of the fact that the board of equalization had not tken the oath prescribed by law. There have really been two suits during the history of the case. In the first the defendants were victorious, both In the original suit and In the motion for a reherr!ng. However, shortly afterward, Attorney J. H. Ra ley filed a new suit. In which a de fault was taken ten days later because of the failure of the district attorney to file an answer. The prosecution Immediately filed a motion for open ing the default alleging that the coun ty clerk had failed to notify him of tho new suit filed It was this motion which has Just been denied and the decision means that he county Is en Joined from collect ng taxes assessed against the plaintiffs originally. The amount which they will now be re quired to pay is only about 80 per cent of that assessed against them. THREE MflLu, WERE KILLED IN BATTLE Galveston, Tex., Dec. 15.
