Regarded as Unsettled.
LONDON, July 17. Britain's policy of
declining to add to Its battleship
armament was formally defined today
by Winston Spencer Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty, in the course of
a debate in the Commons on the ship
building: bill. The government will ac-
' celerate the construction of three bat
tleships now under way, he said, but
planned no additions for 1914 or 1915.
Mr. Churchill added that he did not
think the question of Canadian con
tributions to the defense of the empire
closed and there was no reason to sup
pose that Great Britain would be left
to face emergencies in the future un
aided. Canada Demanding; Action.
There was an overwhelming con
sensus of opinion in Canada, he de
clared, that early action should be
taken in one form or another.
By next year, the first lord told his
hearers, the British Admiralty would
be in a better position to judge whether
further acceleration or a direct addi
tion programme would be forced on
them. In the meanwhile the navy
would be increased by a new destroyer
every week for the next nine months:
by a light cruiser every 30 days for
the next year und by a super-dreadnought
every 45 days for the next 18
months.
lOO Destroyer Being; Built.
Mr. Churchill pointed out that there
were now built or building for the
British navy more than 100 destroyers
solely dependent on oil. which fuel
would be largely employed in all the
warships on the programme of 1912-13.
Five of the battleships of the current
programme, he Bald, would be coal
burning, with oil as an auxiliary for
high speed. A3 there was no intention
of raising the speed of line of bat
tleships, he said, coal would continue to
be made the motive power of .these

The "ultimate policy of the British
admiralty, he continued, was to become
the independent owner and producer of
its own supply of oil. drawing as far as
possible on British sources.
PALOUSE PROJECT IN LINE
Secretary Will Co -operate With Statq
In Preliminary Inquiry.
OKEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 17. Secretary Lane, fol-
lnwina- the precedent set recently In
Oregon, has approved a contract with
the State of Washington under which
the Reclamation Service and the state
inlntlv will make examinations, sur
veys and estimates to determine the
feasibility of the Palouse Irrigation
nrolect in Eastern Washington.
The Secretary has set aside $10,000
to be available when a like amount is
put up by the state.
Heavy pressure is being brought to
bear on the Secretary to take up the
new projei-t In Washington, especially
since his recent action in Oregon, and
the Palouse is the project for which
there is the most demand.
Just when construction could begin
on this project. If examinations prove
favorable, Is uncertain, for at present
there is no money available for new
work, though some may be had later
if projects which are not proving sue
cessful are dropped.
MAIL DEPOSITS ALLOWED
Government Revises Rules for Postal
Savings Ranks.
WASHINGTON. July 17. Banking
by mall is the latest innovation entered
into by the Government in connection
with the postal savings system. Here
lifter deposits may be made by mail
and withdrawals likewise effected
through the same agency.
When the postal savings system was
first put in operation, postmasters were
forbidden to permit deposits by such
persons as were not patrons of the
postofflce in which they sought to
bank. This was found to work a real
hardship on a certain class of would-be
depositors, and Postmaster-General
Burleson accordingly abrogated the
rule. Postmasters throughout the
i-ountry now are being advised of the
change.

NEW YORK, July 17. The conduc
tors and trainmen who threaten to
strike against the Eastern, railroads
will not agree under any circumstances
to have the roads' grievances arbi
trated at the same time as the men's
demands for better wages under the
Newlands amendment to the Erdman 1
act. according to a statement issued to
night by W. G. Lee and A. B. Garret-
son, presidents, respectively, of the
trainmen's and conductors' brother
hoods. Mr. Lee, in a verbal statement sup
plementing the formal one, declared
that If the railroads persist In their
present stand to have their own griev
ances arbitrated, it Is absolutely cer
tain that a strike will follow.
Position Cauaea Deadlock.
The formal statement of the train
men was sent as a letter to Ellsha Lee,
chairman of the conference committee
of managers. It was prepared follow.
lng a meeting of the trainmen 3 conir
mittee of 100 held today to consider the
announcement of the roads last night
that they Intended to have "all ques
tions Incorporated in the agreement
to arbitrate.
The employes' position as announced
tonight brings about a deadlock. The
roads, however, while Insisting that
their demand is an equitable one, have
agreed to meet Seth Low, president of
the National Civic Federation, who has
interested himself in the men's behalf.
tomorrow and hear his presentation of
reasons why the railroad representa
tives should yield the point.
The trainmen declare in their letter
that the railroads, in Insisting upon
arbitration of their own grievances at
this time, could have selected no surer
way of driving the men from the serv
Ice.
Roads Sincerity Questioned.
The sincerity -of the roads is ques
tioned by the employes, who point out
that prior to the mediation conference
with the President last Monday no in
timation was given by the roads that
they purposed to air their demands be
fore the Federal arbitration body. The
present attitude of the roads is charac
terized In the letter as flagrant viola
tion of faith."
After giving the resume of the con
troversy the letter emphasises that
when the railroads consented to join
the White House conference the only
matter of dispute pending was 'the
trainmen's wage demand. In this con
nection the letter points out that In
practically all existing agreements be.
tween roads and men there ts a pro
vision that if either side desires an
amendment of a regulation, 30 days' no
tice to the other side Is required. In
asking arbitration affecting several
agreements In force the railroads did
not give such, notice, the trainmen set
forth.
The employes said tonight that they
would wait only for the Senate'scon
ftrmation of the President's appoint
ments today before Insisting upon a
conference forthwith at which they
would present their wage demand. If
the roads then submit their grievances
to the Federal board, the men, so they
declare, would decline to sign the arbi
tration stipulation and would strike.

INTRIGUE BRINGS ACTION
(Continued From First Page.)
tary Bryan have had an opportunity tq
confer with Ambassador Wilson; now
en route to Washington from Mexico
City.
On the advice and report of condl
tions which Ambassador Wilson pre
sents will depend whether he will re
turn to the Mexican capital. No answer
will be made to the note of one of the
European powers about conditions
Mexico until the Washington Govern
ment has had an opportunity to learn
the true state of affairs in the South
ern republic.
Fuctm Are Hard to Get.
Administration officials in stating
the facts tonight confessed their em
barrassment and difficulty In obtain
ing trustworthy information at long
range about Mexican policies and the
ephemeral changes. These same offi
cials let it be known incidentally that
they believed the recent demonstra
tions in Mexico City against Americans
were fomented and manufactured by &
state group of Mexicans trying to force
the United States to recognize the Hu
erta government.
Equally artificial, they helieve, were
a number of "recent happenings in the
Mexican capital and it was suggested
that some of the European members
of the diplomatic corps in Mexico City
had. been led through the antl-Amerl-can
manifestations to believe that the
chaotic conditions In the republic were
the results of the Washington Govern
ment's failure to extend recognition
to the Huerta regime.,
Bryan to Meet Ambassador.
The first step in the policy of secur
ing first-hand information, it was of
ncialy explained, was the summoning
of Ambassador Wilson. Secretary Bryan,
It was announced, would be in Wash
ington when Mr. Wilson arrived, can
celing any lectures that might conflict
with the engagement. No criticism Is
advanced here against Ambassador
Wilson for falling to supply all the in
formation desired by the President and
his advisers, the difficulty of communi
cation being taken in account.
While it was said reliably that the
President had hoped after personal
conversations with the American Am
bassador to formulate a definite pol
icy toward Mexican affairs, officials by
no means are sure that his opinions
would be crystallized immediately, as
the uncertainty and the constant
changes In the situation may produce
additional complications.
Pmldent'i Mind la Open.
The President has made it clear to
those who have discussed It with him
that his mind Is open as to the proper
time for recognizing the de facto gov
ernment in, Mexico and there is no defi
nite determination to extend recogni
tion after the October elections. It is
possible that the United States may
await a return to stable conditions, in
asmuch as the Carranza rebellion, ac
cording to S,tate Department repre
sentatives, is growing rapidly and the
constitutionalists admittedly control a
large portion of the Mexican Republic.
Just which foreign power had in
quired for a definition of this Govern
ment's attitude In the. present situa
tlon was still unknown officially today,
though reports in official circles men
tloned Great Britain and France. De
nlal from Berlin that Germany had
made representations is generally ac
cepted as removing that country from
the list. -

Awaits Private Lowe's
Recovery.
WITNESS IN FEAR OF DEATH
C. A. Lawton, Life Threatened, Re
mains Close at Hand at Night, Re
fusing: to Appear in Streets,
as He Slay Be Killed.
FORT STEVENS, Or., July 17. (Spe
cial.) Officers and men stationed at
the fort are looking forward with a
great deal of interest to the courtmar-
tial of Private Waldo Coffman. who
is under arrest and confined in the
guardhouse, charged with having vio
lated the 62d article of war, in that he
verbally insulted the flag.
Leading up to the arrest of Coffman,
which followed the desertion of Ser
geant Leary, who was to have been
arrested for circulating seditious pam
phlets In the saloons of Hammond, is
the uncovering of an I. W. W. plot, the
murder of Private Crawford, -the de
sertion of Private Davis and Corporal
Shade and the arrest of several other
soldiers.
Since the arrest of Coffman. who is
a self-confessed red flag' Socialist,
and the subsequent events. Colonel
Straub and his officers have been busy
night and day trying to solve the mys
tery surrounding the murder of Priv
ate Crawford. At first it was thought
Crawford had deserted, but the finding
of his strangled body tossed up by the
waves in Grays Harbor, investigations.
which have been going on since, reveal
many Important things. Crawford was
last seen alive in Bucks saloon in
Hammond. He was reported as a de
serter, then came the finding of his
body.
Crawford Had Money.
The investigation also has revealed
that Cradford had plenty, of money with
which he bought whisky. The signlfi-
cant fact in connection with this 1
that It was five days from pay day, and
soldiers as a rule are not flush with
money -so near a pay day.
It is believed that Crawford, like
Corporal Shade, had been bribed. Craw
ford had ; the reputation of being i
faithful soldier. He would, have been
one of the main witnesses against
Coffman. Now the theory is that Craw
ford had taken the bribe money, had
been seen by the bribers and had re
fused point blank to desert. Know
ing that his testimony would bo a
strong point In the conviction of Coff
man. It Is thought he was murdered
In order to keep him from testifying.
What Is holding back the courtmar
tial now is the protracted illness of
Private Lowe, who is ill at the Army
hospital at the Presidio. Private Lowe
went to the Presidio for the purpose
of attending the Government cooking
school recently established there. This
was before the leak reached Sergeant
Leary that he was to be arrested, and
before the arrest of Coffman or any
of the arrests of other soldiera and
deserters. Just what connection Priv
ate Lowe has with the case and how
much he knows will not be discussed
by Colonel Straub or, any of the com
mandlng officers.
Captain Edwards, as Coff man's at
torney, who has appeared in the pre
liminary hearings, has been informed
that a. Portland Socialist attorney has
been engaged to defend Coffman. Gos
sip among the Socialists of Hammond
and Astoria is that the Astoria local,
of which Coffman is a member, and
in fact all the Socialists and I. W. W.
working in that vicinity, have contrib
uted to a fund for Coffman's defense.
At first there was some talk of hav
ing Clarence Darrow . defend Coffman.
This plan was abandoned because suf
flcient funds could not be raised. The
Astoria local is Baid to have raised
$250 towards the accused soldier's de
fense.
C. A. Lawton, called by the Socialists
of Astoria and Hammond the Dea
con," is another who is anxious that
the mysterious death of Private Craw
ford be solved and that the courtmar-
tlal of Private Coffman be held. Law
ton Is the man who opposed Coff
man's being admitted to the Astoria
local of Socialists and who is an im
portant witness against the soldier.
Since the arrest of Coffman and the
death of Crawford a desperate attempt
has been made on Lawton s life.
Iitnton In Constant Fear.
The "Deacon" Is still at work at the
fort, but he avoids being on the streets
at night and is in constant fear for
his life. Over his opposition to Coff
man's admission to the Astoria local a
row was kicked up and Lawton has not
been to a Socialistic meeting since. In
speaking of the recent outbreaks of
the I. W. W. and the street corner rant
lngs, Lawton says he has no sympathy.
"I am a Socialist, he says, "but I am
a constructive and not a destructive
Socialist. ' I do not believe In sabotage
and bloodshed. The destructive type of
Socialists and the ranting, flre-eatlng
methods of the so-called I. W. W. only
casts an added burden on Socialism and
God knows the cause has a hard
enough battle for recognition. I be
lieve in Socialism because its principles
must appeal to all thinkers, but the
end we seek cannot be obtained by
force, bloodshed and sabotage,

Governor's Frank Declaration,
Says Assemblyman Direct
Primary Bill Is Issue.
ALBANY, July 17. That Governor
Sulzer made use of his veto power to
obtain support for his direct primary
bill was the charge in support of which
witnesses were heard before the Fraw
ley legislative investigating commit
tee today. Assemblyman Sweet, of
Oswego, testified that he had asked
the Governor to approve a bill appro
priating $50,000 for a bridge and that
the Governor immediately responded by
asking him how he voted on the direct
primary bill. Sweet replied, that h'e
had voted against it.
How are you going to vote on it
at the extra session?" the Governor
continued. "Remember, I take good
care of my friends."
Sweet said he continued to oppose
the primary measure and his bridge
bill was vetoed.
Governor Suggests Reciprocity.
Spencer G. Prime, Republican As
Bemblyman from Essex County, testi
fied that Governor Sulzer said to him,
'You -for me. me for you," when Mr.
Prime called on the Governor seeking
his signature to bills for road building.
This was in the interim between the
regular and extraordinary sessions of
the Legislature. Mr. Prime, who was
absent when the Governor's measure
come up at the regular session, voted
for It at the extra session, his bill
meantime having been approved.
Senator Emerson, Republicau, who
accompanied Mr. Prime on his mission,
testified to alleged efforts by the Gov
ernor to win his support. He voted
against the primary bill at both Ses
siotis.
"I tried to take care of myself the
best I could," Senator Emerson de
clared. "So I always had a gentleman
with me when I had conversation with
the Governor."
Legislators Dear Trading.
Both Emerson and Prime denied that
they had made any pledges as a con
sideration for favors.
Senator Heacock said when he be
spoke the good will of the Governor
for two of his bills that had passed
the Governor switched the conversa
tion to his primary bills and solicited
Heacock's support, declaring: "I be
lieve in reciprocity."
The Senator said he then got mad
and told the Governor: "If that's your
price, veto both bills."
The Governor, the witness added
signed the bills, saying he did so
a special courtesy.
Assemblyman Patrle told of numer
ous interviews with the Governor, In
all of which, he said, the matter of cl
rect primaries was broached, and of
Importunities to change his attitude
from hostility to support. This was due
to the 30-day period following the reg
ular session set aside by law for the
signing of left-over bills.
Change of Sentiment Discovered.
Mr. Patrie said he was especially
concerned" in an appropriation bill for
a road in his county. He admitted that
the bill had ben criticised by Highway
Commissioner Carlisle and the Gover
nor himself. The bill was signed near
the end of the 30-day period, and As
semblyman Patre voted for the Gov
ernor's measure at the ensulpg extra
session.
He denied emphatically that he had
told the. Governor or anyone else that
he would vote for the primary bill
and justified his action by declaring
there had been a change of sentiment
among his constituents.

dozens of the most prominent men in
the Republican party in 1908 and speak-
ng familiarly of platforms, throwing
nfluence to men for nominations to all
sorts of offices and of working to elect
or defeat others for Congress.
As the year progressed the interest
of Mulhall in the National campaign
began to show plainly. His letters to
Secretary Schwedtman, of the National
Association of Manufacturers, to James
W. Van Cleave, its president, and to
men in Congress showed activity pre
ceding and during the Republican con
vention held in Chicago last year. Ar
thur I. "Vorys, one of the Taft man
agers; Wade H. Ellis, the man then
credited with writing the platform and
afterwards the chief "trust buster" of
the Department of Justice; Frank H.
Hitchcock, ex-Speaker Cannon, Repre
sentative McKinley, of Illinois, and
many others of prominence were men
tioned, and Mulhall boasted in his let
ters of his acquaintance with most of
them.
. Taft Managers Complained Of.
Toward the close of the session Sena
tor Reed put in a letter Mulhall swore
he wrote to ex-Representative Cole, of
the Eighth Ohio district, in which he
said:
We suppose you are aware of the
miserable treatment we received from
Attorney-General Ellis, A. I. Vorys and
other Taft managers, and although
there were several officers of our or
ganization who were friends of Mr.
Taft, still there are over 40,000 manu
facturers in this country today well
organized who are very sore on ac
count of the work done by iiaiia, Hitch
cock, Vorys and others at Chicago."
The committee wanted Mulhall to
explain what, caused the soreness.
"They were having a conference in
Ellis' room in Chicago," he said. "We
went up and I knocked on the door,
and for quite a timB there was no an
swer. Then Taft's brother came to the
door and said they would see us in a
few minutes. While we were there
Gompers walked out.
They tried to deny that they had
given a hearing to Gompers, but Emery
and the others were pretty sore
about it."
Mulhall'a Credentials Rend.
One of the remarkable letters of the
day was identified by Mulhall as his
letter of introduction and his creden
tials. It read:
'National Association of Manufac
turers, St. Louis, July 8, 1908. To whom
It may concern: This letter will in
troduce Colonel M. M. Mulhall, for
whom I bespeak the greatest consider
ation from every member of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers.
It Is thoroughly clear to you that
In order to have any standing with the
elected and appointed officials of our
Government, whether state of Federal,
we must be able to show them that the
business men and the manufacturers of
our country are a factor to be reckoned
with in politics. We must be able to
prove to the man who is blacklisted
by the labor unions because he refused
to legislate special privileges to labor
organizations and the demagogues that
he will not suffer at the polls on ac
count of his patriotism and his devtion
to duty.
Field rk Necessary.
This makes' necessary a great deal
of field work, and Colonel Mulhall is
in charge of this most Important branch
of our activity. His record Is enviable
and his honesty beyond question. You
can sffeak with him in strict confidence,
and you can rest assured that when
he calls upon you It will be on a sub
ject most Important to you and to all
of us. Very truly yours.
"J. W. VAN CLEAVE, President."
There were many references today
to James A. Emery, who Mulford said
is the Washington representative of
the National Association of Manufac
turers, but who J. P. Bird, the general
manager of mat organization, swore
the other day is connected witn me
National Council for Industrial Defense
and not with the association.
Senator Reed laid particular empha
sis on passages in letters telling of
Mulhall's talks with Emery. Just at
the close of the session he made a final
reference to "Emery:
He dldn t do much active work, did
heT" asked the Senator.
No, he did a lot of promising," said
Mulhall.
