Corinto, on the Pacific Coast, activity of
the Navy Department was , becoming
manifest on both oceans that wash the
NIcaraguan Bhores.
Besides, the cruisers Des Moines and
Tacoma and the gunboat Marietta, are ly
ing oft Port Limon, Costa Rica., ready
for any call upon them, and guns of the
little gunboat Vicksburg are pointed to
ward the Custom-house and town of Co
rinto. Delicate Questions Involved.
The gunboat Princeton also is endea
voring to make her way from the Bre
merton Navy-1'ard, Washington, to Co
rinto.
With the probability of many delicate
questions arising In Nicaragua, the Navy
Department decided to send a flag officer
to Nicaragua to take command of the
American Naval forces. Rear-Admiral
William W. Kimball was chosen. He
sailed for Colon today on the Prairie
H will make his way from there to Co
rinto. Admiral Kimball Is a member
of the Naval Board of Examinations and
Retirements and the Bureau of Construc
tion.

"Neither are there any marines on
board any United States war vessels now
in NIcaraguan waters," said General Kl
liott. "The marines nearest Nicaragua
tonight are at Panama."
"Have they been ordered to Nicar

"Not yet," replied the commander.

PANAMA, Deo. 2.-The NIcaraguan
Consul-General here Is negotiating for the
purchase of a schooner named Herald
for the use of the government of Nic
aragua. It is planned to equip the vessel
with rapid-fire guns obtained from the
Government of Panama.
Tho deal is hardly possible of comple
tion, as the Herald is. American-owned
and the Republic of Panama is not likely
to furnish artillery to a country that is
not on friendly terms with the United
Slates.
The onJy schooner Herald reported as in
the vicinity of Panama sailed from Phil
a delphia on November 17 for St. Thomas.

OTtBGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Deo. 2. Senators who have talked
with President Taft about the advisabil
ity of holding & Congressional investiga
tion into the Plnchot-Ballinger controver
sy, particularly with a view of showing
the extent of the activities of Forester
Pinchot and his subordinates, have come
away from the White House satisfied that
the President will offer no objection to
such an inquiry, provided it is thorough.
Only recently the President has had doc
umentary proof. In the form of affidavits.
that A. C Shaw, law officer, of the For
est Service, under instructions from Pin
chot, had met I W. Glavis by appoint
ment in Chicago and there collaborated
with him in the preparation of the tet
ter's elaborate report to the President,
assailing Secretary Balllnger.
In fact, the President has evidence
showing that the report was almost en
tirely written by Shaw and that Glavis
had little to do with its preparation. It
is understoood also that proof of similar
activity on the part of other subordinates
of Pfnchot Is in the President's hands and
knowledge that this evidence is extant
has caused great uneasiness among For
est Service officials.
Senator Nelson, of 'Minnesota, is pre
paring a resolution calling for this
inquiry.

Through the purchase yesterday by the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany of property owned by the Portland
Water Power & Electric Transmission
Company and the River Mill Company,
concerns controlled by Morris Bros., the
local street railway company becomes
one of the largest power -developing prop
erties in the United States.
Including the purchase of yesterday.
which makes possible the development
of 15,000 horsepower, this local corpora
tion now owns property which is capable
of developing in the aggregate 110,000
horsepower. Yesterday's . transaction
comprised 1642 acres on the Clackamas
River, in Clackamas County, a bridge
across the Clackamas River and a saw
mill plant.
While the consideration was not stated,
it is understood to have been more than
$200,000.
15,000 Horse Power Designed.
This Is the property Morris Bros, in
tended to develop as a. water power, but
ite situation on the line of the Oregon
Water Power, which is owned by the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany, and near the Cazadero plant of the
latter corporation, makes it a desirable
property for operation profitably by the
railway company In connection with its
other properties, as compared with its
operation by an Independent concern.
The railway company will proceed at
once with the development of the water
power plant on the property acquired
near its Cazadero plant and expects to
have it In operation by September 1, 191L
The plant will be designed for an ulti
mate 16,000-horse power capacity.
A new steam plant will be installed on
the East Side andi a fifth unit will be
added to the Cazadero plant, all of which
will be ready for use by September 1
1310, so that a year later the company
will have in operation about 90,000 horse
power in water plants and 35,000 horse
power In steam plants, a total of 95,000
horsepower, which. It Is estimated, will
be entirely adequate for the needs of the
city for six or seven years..
Bigger Station Being Built.
In addition, work Is being prosecuted
diligently on what is known as the upper
Clackamas property, about three and one
half miles above the Cazadero plant.

Ordinance Imposing Stringent Regu
lations Is Passed Victims Can
Be Taken From Homes.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2. (Special.)
An ordinance framed by the Board, of
Health, imposing regulations upon per
sons afflicted with tuberculosis, was
passed by the Board of Supervisors yes
terday. Under It physicians are required to
report within 24 hours every person
coming under their notice who shows
symptoms of tuberculosis. A complete
record of every case will be kept by the
Health Department.
When a case Is reported, it Is made
the duty of the physician to make im
mediate report if the patient vacates the
quarters he was then occupying, or if
there is no physician, then the duty de
volves on the landlord. The apartment
must be disinfected and renovated be
fore they can again be occupied. The
cleaning or renovating must be done at
the expense of the landlord, and if it is
not done to the satisfaction of the health
authorities, then the following notice will
be posted at the door of the room:
"Tuberculosis Is a communicable dis
ease. These apartments have been oc
cupied by a consumptive, and may be
infected. They must not be occupied un
til the order of the health officer, direct
ing the disinfection and renovation, has
been complied with.
The most radical feature of the new
law is that which gives the health author
ities power to remove a victim from his
own home by force, if it is believed that
his presence there menaces his children
or the other members of his family. The
health officer becomes clothed with un
limited power in his campaign against
the disease and there is no appeal from
his order. Another section bars children
showing symptoms of the ; disease from
the private and public schools.

versal of the old order under which in

brief statement from the offices of Mor
gan & Co.:
Bare Statement Made.
"Mr. Morgan has bought the majority
of the stock of the Equitable Life As
surance Society, formerly owned by
Thomas F. Ryan.. This purchase is sub
ject to the trust under which Grover
Cleveland, Morgan J. O'Brien and George
Westlnghouse were made voting trustees
for the benefit of the policyholders and
It covers all Mr. Ryan's Interest, includ
ing all the stock purchased by him from
James H. Hyde."

and his partners declined to give any
details. Nor would they name any other
Interests allied with them, although it
is believed -that at .least one large trust
company may take a hand in the deal. .

ment referred to in Mr. Morgan's an
nouncement, the Ryan stock could not
be sold without the consent of the
surviving trustees, whose term of
power held until June 16, 1910, if they
saw fit. Both are busy men and have
served the society without pay. Prior
to confirmation of the transfer, neither
Mr. Westlnghouse nor Mr. O'Brien
would discuss either Its details or its
possibilities.
Harriman Sought Control.
Mr. Ryan's holdings in the Equitable
were bought, in large part, from James
H. Hyde, although Edward H. Harri
man had laid plans which, as he sup
posed, were to assure 4 him the control
that went Instead to Mr. Ryan. It was
at hearings of the Armstrong insur
ance investigation that Mr. Harriman,
when questioned on this point, coined
