"I had spoken in the Commercial Club four or five times before, and I knew the crowd pretty well," said the Gov ernor today on the tram, "and they 3;new what kind of a speerh I was Ko ine to make. I think the only thins that took them by surprise wus that J talked, not so much about what the Government was jroin to do, but what tliey themselves ouht to do.' Member Say Whip Im Needed. The Governor had pointed out in his speech that things done under the whip of the law were sullenly and never successfully done and that good counsel could not be obtained by com pulsion any more than economic free dom could he obtained entirely by force. As he was leaving", one of the members of the club approached the President-elect and said: "Governor, you may have to use that whip of yours before some of those .gentlemen are subdued and brought around to your way of thinking." "Jon't worry," laughed Mr. Wilson as he slapped his hip; "I carry it right here, in case I need it." Governor Attend Chureta.

Secretary Adams pre pared the regulations for putting1 that law into effect, and in his regulations has imposed conditions the law did not intend, and otherwise made the law unduly burdensome. So rigrfd were some of the provisions In the first instructions issued by Secretary Adams that Senator Borah was obliged by two special acts of Congress to compel the Interior Department to construe that law as Congress in tended. Adam Refuses Enforcement. After putting through the three-year homestead bill. Senator Borah got Con gress, last session, to pass another bill directing the issuance of patents to homesteaders on Government irrigation projects as soon as they comply with the. terms of th homestead law that of the long suspense that occurred under the reclamation act- Secretary Adams opposed that bill also while it was in Congress, and, failing to pre vent the passage of that law. Secretary Adams has deliberately refused to en force it. That law was passed in August. To this day no instructions have been issued to locaj land officers, except at Boise, Idaho, and the law !s not operative outside that one land dis trict Senator Borah made such ve hement' protest that the Boise Land Office was instructed to receive proof under that law, but in no other land district is this law in operation today, though it has been on the statute books five months. These are a few of the actions of Secretary Adams that will give the peo ple of the West an inkling of what is coming to them if President-elect Wil son picks his Secretary of the Interior at the suggestion of such conservation ists as Pinchot, Garfield and Fisher. Of course, Secretary Adams has con siderable Democratic backing, but his most pronounced support comes from conservationists who are not Demo crats. There is no Western Senator or Representative favorable to the ap pointment of Mr. Adams, except Repre sentative Lafferty, of Oregon. -. WATCH TARIFF IW LINE IXDVSTRY TO BE HEARD BY COMMITTEE TUESDAY. Aluminum, Also Under Considera tion, Declared to Be In Hands of One America Concern. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Democratic members of the House committee on ways and means are planning to exam ine closely the affairs of the Aluminum Company of America and the Waltham Watch Company, when their represen tatives testify in an adjourned hear ing on the metal tariff schedule next Tuesday. Each company has been charged with being a truEt. Tomorrow will be devoted by the committee to the tariff schedule D, covering wood and its manufactures, and I silks and silk goods. Neither of these schedules was affected by Dem ocratic revision attempted in the last session of Congress. John P. Barlew. of New York, rep resenting clients interested in the aluminum duty, has filed with the com mittee a brief alleging that the alu minum industry practically is in the hands of the one concern, the Alu minum Company of America, control ling substantially all the sources of aluminum in the country. Arthur V. Davis, of Pittsburg, repre senting the Aluminum Company, has been urged by the committee to appear Tuesday. E. Cj Fitch, of Waltham, Is expected to represent the watch concern. The American watch manufacturers want a specific duty basis instead of the Dem ocratic plan of 30 per cent ad valorem on watch movements. So far the hearings on chemicals and iron and steel has not led to an indi cation of material change in the Dem ocratic tariff position as framed in the last session of Congress. There will be minor changes in clas sification with items taken out of groups and put into so-called "basket clauses" that take care of items other wise unproVided for at a changed rate. There has been suggestion of a "dumping clause." to prevent the sale of goods imported into this country at a price much lower than the selling price at home. Canada, France and other countries have such an arrange ment, but the committee has not con sidered it formally. OREGON SYSTEM ON LIST South American Women Coming to Study fietlioIls Here. SALEM, Or., Jan. 12. (Special.) That Oregon's progressive educational system and methods will be made the basis of an extensive study by a com mission of South American women is the information received by Superin tendent Alderman. - It appears that the government of Uruguay has sent a commission of five women to the Pacific Northwest to study educational Industrial methods, and that the delegation will interview the head of the Oregon school system ttiis month The head of the commis sion Is Victoria Frigero and it Is said considerable difficulty has been expe rienced by the women in making themselves understood in the English language MISS I.SABELLE L. UAGXER. REBELS ARE BEATEN Mexican , Federals, However, Are Sharply Resisted. RAILROAD. CEASES WORK Increased Activity Noted in Oaxaca. Aguilar, Newly Busy in . Vera Cruz, Is Imposing "Iioans" on the Inhabitants. MEXICO CITY, Jan. 12. Several sharp encounters, in all of which the federals were victorious, have been re ported to the government from various parts of the -State of Guerrero. Stub born opposition has been met along the west coast, where four towns, Tecpan, Atoyaca, Arenal and San Geronimo, are reported officially to have been taken by rebels. An official report, however, says Tecpan has been relieved. Construction on the Mexican Pacific Railroad has been abandoned, the seven United States engineers proceeding overland to the c-oast and thence by launch 100 miles to Acapulco. Agullnr Impoelng "Loan." Increased activity is noticeable in the state of Oaxaco. The cutting of the Mexican Southern Railroad between the state capital and Pueblo isolated the former place more than a week. Rebel operations are reported in the State of Durango, and to a lesser degree in the states of San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas and Mlchoacan. The liveliest interest is that in the revival of operations of General Agul- lar along the railroads out of Vera Cruz. The Aguilar forces have occupied a few villages and are imposing loans. Zapata May Surrender. The Echevarri hacienda, four miles from Puebla, was raided last night by rebels retiring before the advance of the federals from Puebla. The policy of amnesty adopted by many states is attracting much atten tion. It is announced semi-officially that negotiations are pending looking to the surrender of many of the princi pal leaders, Including Zapata. It is understood- Zapata will be placed in command gf a government force if he surrenders. READING PROVISION LEFT COXGRESS CONFEREES AGREE OX LITERACY TEST. Senate Bill Which Included Writing Eliminated Acceptance cf Measure Evpected. WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. An Import ant step toward the adoption of a litr eracy test for the admission of immi grants, which has been a subject of controversy in Congress for 20 years, was taken Saturday, when the confer ees of the two houses of Congress finally agreed upon a report which will retain the test in slightly modified form. As the measure will be reported to the twq houses, the literacy provision will appear as passed by the House, which requires that immigrants shall be required only to be able to read, whereas the Senate bill provided that they both read and write. The principal reason urged for the adoption of the requirement in any form is that it will have the effect of limiting Immigration from those por tions of the old world from which the least desirable elements of laborers are received. While it was not con tended that a man who cannot read is less desirable for moral reasons than one from the same country who can. it has been found that the least desirable class comes from the most illiterate countries. In the main, the other features of the Senate bill, which is the result of the labors of the Dillingham Immi gration Commission, were retained. They pertain to details relating to the administration of the immigration laws. Packers Ordered to Improve. CHICAGO, Jan. 12. Charges against Chicago meat-packing firms are made by State Factory Inspector Edgar T. Davies. The packers must make 1,000,- 000 worth of improvements on their plants to safeguard the lives of their employes, or face trial on more than E. H- Harrlman estate U now said to be worth 12,00tf.00a Miss Hagner's Popularity Is not Questioned, But There Has Been Hope of Reunion of South With White House. WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. There is keen disappointment among Southern folk that Mrs. Woodrow Wilson's choice for her social secretary was not from south of the Mason and Dixon line. The wife of the President-elect, who preceded her husband into the field of patronage by announcing the appoint ment of Miss Isabella Hagner, already has begun to taste the sorrows and the embarrassments of political life. It had seemed, say the social politic ians here, that when Woodrow Wilson was elected there was to be a real re union of the South with the White House. Every society woman knows the importance of being on good terms with the social secretary. A White House social secretary "who leans her way" is simply invaluable to the wo man who would figure in Presidential society circles. This arises from the fact that the so cial secretary is the censor of every thing social at the White House. Sna is supposed, by reason of her intimate knowledge of the society world and its characters, to put the O. K. or the ban, as the case may be, on those wh; would bask in White House favor. She arranges the guest lists, and her ukas? is of tremendous import to thlse who would like to enter. .Miss Hagner la Northern Woman. Miss Hagner, U Northern woman, with Northern acquaintances outnum bering ten to one her Southern friends, may or may not be a barrier in the way of the march which Southern society is about to make on the White Houses. She is a bright, capable and determined woman. Naturally, also, the selection of Miss Hagner is not so pleasing to some of those who have been of ths social elect during the Taft Admims tration as it is to the old friends of Mrs. Roosevelt, whom she served as social secretary. The appointment of Miss Hagner by Mrs. Wilson is giving general satisfac tion to that powerful social bod In Washington which was on intimate terms with the Roosevelt Administra tion. The fact that she is to be social secretary again points, in the opinion of some, to an adaptation of the Roose velt way of doing things, but this does not necessarily follow. Fitness Is Not Doubted. On the score of competency there is no questioning of the appointment of Miss Hagner. She is wonderfully cap able. The choice made by Mrs. Wilson has led to the impression that the forthcoming "first lady" purposes to make the White House the center of much social activity during her regime and to keep that activity quite up to the mark of the Roosevelt and Taft Administrations. Broadly speaking. the society dames are finding it diffi cult to reconcile the appointment of Miss Hagner with the forecasts so fre quently made that "social simplicity" of the most rigid sort will rule at the White House u;ider the Wilsons. President Wilson may carry out his ideas of wasting no more time with official formalities than necessary and of devoting himself chiefly to business, but it is equally apparent that Mrs. Wilson has social ideas of her own, and opinion is overwhelming that when it comes to running that part of the household she will have her way. Under the Taft regime entertain ments at the White House have been smaller and less formal than before. The -custom of serving refreshments has been introduced in greater meas ure, and receptions and other, functions have been followed by dancing. Some of the society folk prefer the Roosevelt way and some the Taft way. White House to Be Renovated. Neither Administration can be said to have been excessively formal, for Colonel Roosevelt was too fond of mingling with people to give undue stress to formality, and President Taft has a genuine liking for society, is par ticularly fond of dancing and is happy when every guest is enjoying himself. One of the first things to be done after the Wilsons move into the execu tive mansion will be to rearrange the rooms, get new furnishings or uphol sterings and, in short, to nx the historic abode up to meet the ideas of the new family. This is something that has to be done every time there is a change of administration. It is expected that the three charming daughters of the incoming President will have very dis tinct ideas as to how the White House should be "done over" and refurnished. No two mistresses of the mansion ever agree as to how the establishment should be disposed. ' BULGARS SET WAR DATE (Continued From First Page.) to Montenegro, the armistice has not been observed by Turkey, whose sol diers have made frequent sorties from Scutari. Therefore, the resumption of hostilities really concerns only the Thracean field of operations, where the activity of the allies seems to be lim ited to the conquest of Adrianople. The Balkan military experts here think that under present conditions Adrianople can be aken in a few days by the sac rifice of perhaps 6000 men. y Greeks Are Threatening. The 'Greeks are determined more than ever to hold .the Aegean Islands, as well as Saloniki. Regarding Saloniki, they say: "War gave it to us, and only war can take It away." AH the responsibility for the gravity of the situation is placed by the allies on Europe, which, they say, after hav ing encouraged them to conclude an armistice and come to London even holding contemporaneously a confer ence of the Ambassadors to facilitate matters finds itself impotent, because of lack of accord to adopt measures compelling Turkey to obey its will. This failure of agreement, even if manifested in a passive manner, the allies point out, gives encouragement to the Turks, whose hope is that they will succeed finally, as they have in the past, in playing off the powers one against the other. The attitude of the powers, it is added, .also encourages Roumania to take an alleged unfair advantage of j You have the goods and want an audience.
