Lord Roberts contended that It was not

mand the sea In order to carry out an
Invasion. A temporary local command
would suffice, ay id this was well under

to an invasion of Great Britain was the
want cf a home army, which ought to
consist of LOOu.wo men. Across the nar

perseverance. Industry, sound education

A daylight burglar visited the residence

at Anabel Station. Tuesday afternoon.
nnd after effecting entrance to the house
by breaking the bolt on the back door,
stole J7S in coin .and several articles of

The burglary was committed between
2:30 and 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Lightner immediately Investigated
and found that the money was missing,
as well as some Jewelry .belonging to the

deed wae committed by some one famil

dog, a very friendly animal, was found
to have been locked In the cellar by the
burglar. The dog makes friends easily
and It Is presumed that the burglar was
not unfamiliar to the animal, which ren
dered It possible for him to entice the
collie Into the cellar and lock the door.
After getting rid of the dog the fellow

bolt which secured the rear door. Once

Sneaker Answers Critics Who De

Taft Warning Sent to -
Presldent-Elect.
CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 24. Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon has made it as plain
as Dossible without a direct statement
of his nut-nose, that- he. If re-elected
Sneaker of the National House of Rep
iresentatl-es. would work In harmony
with th Renuhllean Administration.
It has been reported and denied that
Mr. Taft. in Virginia Hot Springs, whilo
having no intention of throwing any ad
ministrative influence into any contest
which might be made over the House
organization, was not "wholly convinced
that an organisation with Mr, Cannon
at its head would be entirely friendly to
White House policies.
FVil lowed Hoosevclfs Lead.
. Mr. Cannon said that ho hud fol
lowed the lead of the President, to
whom he attributed the policy of not re
vising ;he tariff until after the gen
eral election.
'"Any change In the revenue laws of
the country of necessity is followed by a
depression of business," Mr. Cannon
said. "Three vears ago I followed the
lead of Theodore Roosevelt, who de
rlared that there should be no revision
of the revenue laws which mejins the
tariff until aftor the next general elec
tion. His policy was not to chango ex
isting conditions before then.
The Republican platform, on which
the National contest has been won. says
revise the tariff.' That revision should
be with due regard to the protection of
American industries and to the penaliZ'
Ing of discriminatory nations.

"As a member of the next House of
Representatives a co-ordinate branch
of the Government nnd equal to the ex
ecutive and Judicial branches and I will
be in the next House if 1 live I am go
ing to see to it. so far as my vote is
concerned, that the policy of the Repub
Ilcan party on this question is written
In the National laws as promptly as pos
slble.
This should be done as soon as pos.
slble. so that business can adjust Itself
to changed conditions. The change of
necessity will bring disturbance and it
will fall chiefly on business men."

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24. Kf forts, on
the part of the leaders of the Houso or
ganization to pledge votes for the re
election of Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois,
as Speaker of the House of Represen
tatives, have led to representations being
made to William H. Taft that the crisis
of his administration has arrived, and
that, unless he can reach a satisfactory
agrement with Mr. Cnnnon, the coming
Taft administration will he a legislative
failure, including the tariff legislation.
It is well understood in ashington
that Mr. Taft has been Impressed with
the seriousness of the situation and Is
bending hlR energies accordingly.
But In the meantime friends of Mr.
Cannon have not been Idle. Sereno K.
Payne, chairman of the ways and means
committee, and Representative H. S.
Boutell. of Illinois, yesterday, gave out
Interviews intimating that there was no
friction between Mr. Taft and Mr. Can
non and that there could be none. James
A. Tawney. chairman of the House com
mittee on appropriations, yesterday de
clared that "for reasons unknown to me
somebody Is setting up a man of straw
against Mr. Cannon to be knocked down
later."

Captured After Being Frustrated In

(saloonkeeper.
TACOMA, Nov. 24. Frustrated in their
attempt te hold up Charles Blomberg, a
bartender In a C-street saloon at 8
o'clock tonight. William Brown and
J. Baron, two young highwaymen
heavily armed, wfre arrested by Patrol
man Swan Nelson, and when searched
at the pelice station, were identified as
the men who held up and robbed the
conductor and ' molorman of a P-street
car last Saturday night.
ITpon tile persons of the highwaymen
were found the two watches and two
revolvers they had taken from the
streetcar men. Tho robhers have con
fessed to the police that thy not only
held up the P-street car men, but that
before coming to Tacoma they neid up
ond robbed the crews of two Portland
streetcars Both men were a good deal
under the Influence of liquor when taken
by the patrolman.
Blomberg. when Baron stuck tho gun
In the bartender's face, dodged Into the
saloon office, returning with his revolver.
This display of nerve unnerved the high
waymen, and while he had the men- at
bay a patron rushed to the street and
summoned Patrolman Nelson. Both rob
bers put up a fight in the Jailer's office.
Brown attempting to get possession of
one of the weapons taken from him. but
was knocked senseless by Captain Fitz
gerald. These two men taken in Tacoma are
thought to be the same men who recent
ly held up the crews of a Brooklyn car
and an 3 car In this city. In each case
but a comparatively small amount of
money was taken. There have been no
streetcar holdups in Portland for several
clays, confirming the belief that the two
men left town. Tho capture of tne two
In Tacoma fits In with the theory of the
