Sew Methodist Is Elected Chaplain. WASHLNGTON. March 7. After pending the greater part of today in caucus, the Democratic Senators suc ceeded in agreeing upon candidates to fill only three of the elective offices of that body. These were: James P. Clarke, of Arkansas, to succeed Senator Gallinger. of New Hampshire, as president pro tempore of the Senate; Rev. E. J. Prettyman, a Methodist, of the District of Columbia, to succeed Rev. U. G. B. Pierce, Uni tarian, as chaplain, and Charles P. Hig gins. a real estate dealer of St. Louis, to succeed E. Livingston Cornelius as sergeant-at-arms. Senator Clarke was elected by a vote of 27 to It over Senator Bacon, of Georgia, who alternated with Senator Gallinger in the office of President pro tempore throughout the last session and whose election had been considered practically a certainty since the Demo crats gained control. Clarke's Re-Electlon Aided. Senator Clarke was placed in nomi nation by Senator O'Gorman, of New Jork, and Senator Bacon by his col league. Senator Smith, of Georgia. Both were eulogized by their champions. Other Senators seconded the noralna tions, mentioning the fact that Mr. Clarke's term would expire within the next two years. His supporters urged nis election on tne ground tnat It would be of assistance to him in his race for re-election. They also urged the fact that Senator Bacon was in line for the chairmanship of the committee on foreign relations as a reason why he should not be elected to preside over the Senate. The result of the election caused con siderable stir, the friends of Senator Bacon feeling that he had not been fairly treated. Smith Salts Committee. At the afternoon session Senator Smith tendered his resignation as member of the steering committee, to which he had been appointed only ves teray.

Bennett, of New York, Republican, will take place if the present programme is carried out. r- ").S . - A..sr3-ji ' - I PRESIDENT AND MRS. WILSON ON TRAIN EN ROUTE TO WASH. . INGTON.

Spectator Vajs Opening Is Given to Man of High Courage Philippine Independence Doubted. LONDON. March 7. The Spectator, discussing in an editorial today the Administration of President Wilson, predicts that the United States Gov ernment, under the Democratic regime, will not withdraw Its control from the Philippines. The newspaper declares that the existence of the Panama Canal, the satety of wnicn. it says, depends upon the maintenance of peace in the excitable little republics in Its neigh borhood, reveals the nollowness of the pretense that the United States Gov ernment has no need to influence the affairs of other countries. The Spectator finds that Mr. Wilson's greatest opportunities to enforce his ideals lie in his adopting a bold and unequivocal interpretation of the Hay- Pauncefote treaty and putting an end to lynching. Regarding lynching, the Spectator says: A man of high political courage in the chief magistracy should stop lynch ing if America. Is to retain its title as a civilised country, and passionately do we who love her desire that she should retain it. She must put down lynching. We do not say to marry them (the negroes) or to ask them to dinner. or even to sit in the same cars with them. What we do say is: Stop burning; them alive." Among Witnesses tor Defense Are Some Who for Years Opposed In ternational Until Won Over. OMAHA, Neb., March 7. A variety of witnesses, dealers, farmers, newspaper men, undertakers ana general mer chandise merchants, all connected in various ways with the sale or pur chase of harvesting machinery, were on the stand today in the defense of the International Harvester Company in the Government suit against that company for alleged violation of the Sherman . anti-trust law. They came from Western Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. Of the witnesses called by the de fense, some had vigorously opposed the company for some time after its or ganization. Among these " was Theo dore Coffee, of Greenfield, la. He ad mitted on cross-examination, however, that he had refused to handle Inter national goods" for four years after the merger, but at the end of that time had "learned I could not conduct a success ful business without doing so." The defense satisfied itself with in troducing evidence to show that since the organization of the International Harvester Company, the farmer has been benefited by reason of easy ac cess to repairs, improvement in har vesting machinery, little advance in prices and general conditions. Attorney Grosvenor, who cross-examined witnesses for the Government, confined his questioning of witnesses to showing that the defendant con trolled from 90 to 95 per cent of the bindr business in this territory. the committee, said it would take- year to make the investigation, as many books would have to he reviewed. "It is our purpose to take"" up par ticular phases that seem to violate our teachings and cite them," he said. STAMP FAGIN SENTENCED Judge Severely Condemns Broker -Who Fostered Crime. NEW YORK.

Four years in Sing Sing prison was the sentence imposed today upon Richard Freder ich8. a stamp broker, convicted of re ceiving and disposing of stolen postage stamps which were brought to a news stand and "clearing-house" in Wall street by office boys whv purloined the stamps. "You have created more criminals. so I have been informed, tnan any other man ever caught." said Judge O'Sullivan to Frederichs. in passing sentence. The justice imposed a sentence to the Elmlra reformatory upon Irving Sevel, the newsboy who kept the stand where the stamps were brought by thieving boys and disposed of to Fred erichs. Postoffice inspectors who investi gated the case reported that $50,000 worth of stolen stamps passed through Frederichs' hands in a year and that the annual business in stolen stamps in the New York financial district amounted to $1,600,000. CABINET IS MERELY SIEVE Wilson to Be Final Abiter in AH Ap plications for Office. WASHINGTON, March 7. Though of fice-seekers have been requested to address themselves to the heads of the various departments, the members of the Cabinet will act merely as sifters of the mass of applicants and their decisions will not be final. This was made clear at the White House to day. Published statements that the an nouncement of the Administration's policy about office-seekers might re suit in a situation whereby the At torney-General, for instance, made an pointments of Federal judges before whom the Government's case might De tried, brought forth the explana tion that such an impression was er roneous. It was declared that the beads of the departments might make recom mendations of their own accord, but at best they would act as buffers for tne President, bringing before him a final set of names for each particular oitice.

CHEHALTS, Wash, March 7. (Spe cial.) Owing to opposition here to its plans the Washington Electric Com pany has. abandoned its intention to ac quire the old Union Pacific grade through Chehalis and to the southwest. Terms had been agreed upon with the Northern Pacific, which owns the old grade, to buy its interests outright and condemnation proceedings would have determined the value of other holdings. Last night President collman, of the company, advised the Northern Pacific that the deal was off so far as the Washington Electric .of which he is the head, is concerned. .

You know that I stand here as the voice and with the hand of the great man In the White House. He loves to do justice above all things. He will see that justice is done you. "Most of the big game in your coun try and in-mine the Western country such as the buffalo, the elk and the antelope, has gone. There are just a few wolves left. When I have been hunting I have made a fire ghich pro tected me against wolves at'oight and there was always some man, in the party who would watch so that he could throw a firebrand out to scare them off. I have -been chosen by the big chief in the White House to sit up and watch to keep them as far away from you as I can." Indiana Approve Remarks.

GERMAN LOAN DISAPPOINTS Premature Ivcak of War Tax News Causes Financial Apathy. BERLIN, March 7. Subscriptions to the new German loans aggregating $137,500,000 closed at noon today and were unprecedentedly disappointing. The Issues included $100,000,000 of Prus sian short term 4 per cents, $25,000,000 Prussian 4 per cents and $12,500,000 Imperial 4 per cents. The Prussian and imperial 4 per cents were moderately oversubscribed, but the treasury certificates were not fully cov ered and the underwriting banks will have to take over a portion of them. The poor success of the operation is ascribed partly to the premature leak of news of the war tax proposed in the army bill, which the government had not intended should be published before today.
