NEW HAVEN. Conn.. March 12.
(Special.) Thomas A. Edison, the In
ventor, told Yale students today, ac
cording to a statement published In tho
Tale News, that the college graduate
was not an absolute necessity In Edi
son's line of business.
In tlio judgment of Edison, the man
who rose from the ranks was a better
judge of the business ability of men
than tho man who had merely devoted
his time to the pursuit of a classical
education.
Ho said that in his business, that if
a Yale or Harvard man should go to
him for employment he would probably
say there was no place vacant, for
according- to Edison's belief, a man
without an academic education was as
well titled for Edison' work as a col
lege Kraduato and probably would
learn the details quicker. He added:
Therefore, while I believe in educa
tion I also believe that technical edu
cation la far better than any other
kind, not only in my business but in
practically all others with which I am

MILITARY PLANS CHANGED
Wickcrnliam Gives Opinion at Re
quest of War Department Taft
Will Insist on Strict Neu
trality of Texas.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 12. In reply to an In
quiry from the Secretary of War, Attorney-General
Wickersham today gave
it as his opinion that under the Consti
tution the President cannot order out
the National Guard of the States for
duty In Mexico or any foreign land.
While the state military may be
called upon to repel invasion, that can
only be done when there is every in
dication that a foreign power is ac
tually preparing to encroach upon
American territory.
This dtcision probably will alter the
plans of the War Department and will
make it necessary for the Regular
Army to render any service required
to protect American interests south
of the Mexican border line.
Federal Muster No Contemplated.
Before militia can be sent to a for
eign country, the state organizations
must be mustered into the Federal
service, and no such step is now con
templated. President Taft has arranged to con
fer tomorrow on the situation in Mex
ico with Secretary Stimson. Senator
Culberson and the Texas Congressional
delegation. It Is understood the Pres
ident and the Secretary of War wish
to impress upon the Texas authorities
that the neutrality laws must be en
forced strictly and that no aid to the
Mexican insurrectos must go from
Texas.
It was learned today that after the
conference President Taft might issue
a statement defining the attitude of
the Cnited States toward Mexico and
giving assurance to Mexicans that the
United States now has no intention of
intervening.
Intervention Not Considered.
The President told his callers today
that he would not consider Interven
tion unless Congress authorized him
to take such a step.
Dispatches to the State Department
from Ambassador Wilson at Mexico
City were partly reassuring and partly
disconcerting. Mr. Wilson said that
the recent proclamation of President
Taft now apparently was understood
In Mexico and any fear that it meant
the recognition of the belligerents had

OPEX-AIIt CONCERT BY 1000
VOICES IS PROPOSAL.
Portland's Ideal Winter Climate,
Gives Cliance of Replacing Ri
baldry WitU Music.
Plans came to a head yesterday, at a
meeting held at the Young Men's
Christian Association, that an open
air concert under canvas covered streets
with stnelng by a chorus of 1000 voices,
assisted by a soloist of international
reputation, will mark: the ushering In
of Portland's next New Year, beginning
shortly before midnight, December 31,
from a grand stand that will probably
be located In the vicinity of Sixth and
Morrison streets.
The originator of the plan is William
Mansell Wilder, organist and musical
director of the First Methodist Episco
pal Church South, and director of the
Orpheus Male Chorus.
For some months, Mr. Wilder and his
friends thought over the proposed open
air concert In the streets at New Year's,
to celebrate the observance of the sea
son of cheer, in a more fitting manner.
Instead of the wild scenes witnessed
In too many large cities on the night
of December 31, when liquor flows like
water and when some young pers ns
because they are so gay insl.vt on
dancing on grill tables instead of the
floor. It was found on Investigation
that weather conditions In this city
December 31, would be favorable and
that the average temperature here for
the past 30 years or so on that occasion
Is 41 and one-tenth degrees. From
swimming Christmas morning, to a
street concert with music by a big
chorus New Year's morning, is the next
jump.
In the plans being discussed for the
proposed New Year's open air concert,
are suggestions that the grand stand
for the big chorus might be erected on
Sixth street near Morrison;; that the
whole block of Sixth, Morrison, Seventh
and Yamhill streets be covered with
canvas, from the tops of the sky
scrapers, so that the crowds might be
protected from the rain, if any falls
that night; that the streets be gaily
illuminated; that the expense, amount
ing to several thousands of dollars, be
defrayed by popular subscription; and
that the open air celebration of New
Year's ought to be an annual affair.
WHISKY WAR THREATENED
Spokane Saloonkeeper Orfers Liquor
at Five Cents a "Xip."
, SPOKANE, Wash, March 12. (Spe
cial.) Whisky by the bottle and by the
drink has now been brought Into the
price-cutting fight among Spokane dis
pensers of liquors that began a week
or more ago in the reduction of whole
sale and retail beer prices. The new
turn in the contest was taken Monday,
when a saloon on Main avenue, between
Stevens and Washington streets, an
nounced a cut in the price of whiBky
to 5 cents a drink, 40 cents for pints
and 20 cents for half plnta.
"We may as well work for the dis
tilleries as to work for the breweries,"
was the introductory Inscription borne
by the card. So far the reduction in
the price of whisky has not extended
to other saloons, but it is expected that
a number of those who led In the trim
ming of prices en bottled beer will
meet the Main-avenue liquor dealer's
prices.
