TTILSONS PPECIAu Crestline, O., Jan.
12. President-elect "Wilson traveled
eastward tonight from Chicago for
Trenton, K. .7.
The Governor was pleased with his
v!it in Chicago. The audience that
lizard his speech in the Commercial
Club was composed of railroad presi
dents, bank directors, meat packers and
financiers of National prominence. "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.
The Governor attended the Fourth
Presbyterian Church in Chicago this
morning. Charles K. Crane, vice-chair
man of the finance committee of the
"Wilson campaign, was at the train to
say good-bye. A- delegation from
Wisconsin rode as far as Gary, Ind.,
with the party. They were William
LaFollette, a Democrat and brother of
the Wisconsin Senator; John Aylward,
law partner of Joseph E. Davies. sec
retary of the Democratic National com
mittee; Chairman Schutz, of the Wis
consin central committee, and Morgan
J. Davies, cousin of Joseph E. They
came to explain, Mr. Wilson said, the
political situation in Wiscousin and
not to bnnm anyone. The name of Jo
seph E. Davies, however, is before Mr.
Wilson as a candidate for a Cabinet
position.
DOOLITTLE HAS SUCCESSOR
Dr. W. D. Blgelow Named on Board
o f Food and I)ru g I inspection.
WASHINGTON", Jan. 12. Dr. Cal L.
Alsborg, chief of the Bureau of Chem
istry of the Department of Agriculture,
announced today the appointment of
Dr. Willard D. Bigelow as a member
of the board of food and drug inspec
tion, which passes on all cases of al
leged violation of the pure food law.
Dr. Blgelow, who fills the vacancy
caused by the voluntary retirement of
Dr. R. E. Doolittle, has been with the
Bureau of Chemistry for 20 years and
had served as assistant chief since
lito:?.
The other members of the board' are
Dr. Alsbor chairman, and A. G.
Mitchell. It was because of friction
with fellow members of the board that
Dr. Harvey V. Wiley, former chief of
t he Bureau of Chemistry, retired after
declaring that his efforts to enforce
the pure food Jaw were nullified by the
dissenting opinions of his colleagues in
the Department of Agriculture.

REPORT DISQUIETS WEST
Continued From First Pfte.)
to block the bill. 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.

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.

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
