ADVICE IS SOUGHT!
Wilson to Consult Military
Committees of Congress.
DEFENSE TO BE OUTLINED
Plan Is to Consider Programme of
National Preparedness Carefully,
' Tben Throw Weight of Ad
ministration Behind It,
CORNISH. N. 1L. Aug. i. With the
object of developing a broad and con
vincing programme of National defense
which will meet with the approval of
Congress. President Wilson Is planning
to co-operate with the chairmen of
the military and naval affairs commit
tees of the Senate and House, as well
as with Secretaries Oarrlson and Dan
iels of th War and Navy Depart
ments, before finally deciding on the
recommendations he will make In bis
nest message to Congress.
The President told friends tonight
that while he bsd made no definite
plana for consulting with the chair
men of (he committees Interested In
th question of National defense, he
would arrange to see them before Con
gress convenes. In order to unit on
a slngl programme of action.
Cesaaaltt Chalraaca Iavttcd.
When th President sees th chair
men of the four committees, be ex
pects to hav before him the reports
now being prepared by Mr. Garrison
and Mr. Daniels. The besds of ths
War and Navy Departments are ex
pected to take part In the conference
or series of conferences In order to
explain personally their recommenda
tions. The President already has written to
Chairman Padgett, of the House Naval
affairs committee. Inviting him to meet
blm on his return to Washington. Al
though h did not say tonight whether
be had written similar letters to the
chairmen of the other committees. It
was rsportsd that he had done so.
Th President believes the time has
come for the United States' to decide on
a definite programme of National de
fense and desires strongly that as little
friction as possible shall develop over
the question when It Is presented to the
two houses of Congress. He will not
decide In his own mind on the pro
gramme required until he has examined
the reports of Mr. Garrison and Mr.
Daniels and has received th views of
Congressional leaders.
Vlgras Fight t Be Made.
Through the chairmen of th military
and Naval affairs committees of the
two houses of Congress the President
expects the members of these commit
tees to give and receive ideas before
the appropriation bills, containing
Army and Navy Items, com up for dis
cussion. The plan of th President Is to con
sider carefully a programme of Na
tional defense after free consultation
with others and then to throw the en
tire weight of the Administration be
hind the policy agreed on.
The President remained Indoors at
the "Summer White House" virtually
all day. working on correspondence and
data which he later forwarded to the
Stat Department. In the aftefnon he
went for an automobile ride.
CHAMBERLAIN APPROVES PLAN
Senator Will Attend Any Conference
President 3Iay Call. .
"I am In thorough sympathy with
the President's plan of calling a con
ference of committee chairmen and
Cabinet officers to consider a pro
gramme for National defense," said
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
Senate committee on military affairs,
last night.
"I hav been in communication with
Secretary Garrison on this subject the
last few montha and held several con
ferences with him before I left Wash
ington. I Intend to leave for Washing
ton a month or six weeks before Con
gress convenes and expect to be ready
to attend any conferences that the
President msy call. The proposed con
ference should have no difficulty In
agreeing on a definite programme, and
when once a definite plan is outlined I
am sure that Congress will a slmset
solid la support of It."
Senstor Chamberlain says he will
propose that the authorised slse of the
Army be Increased from 100.000 to. 160.
OOJ men and thatehe Army be recruited
up to lta full strength. He also hopes
to effect some means of concentrating
th military forces of th country so
that they can be mobilised more easily
and mad more efficient In times of
emergency.
Senstor Tillman, of South Carolina,
chairman of the Senate committee on
naval affairs, who Is In Portland, said
last night that be was resdy to confer
with the President on any plan that will
provide the country with more adequate
defense.
Senator Tillman recently visited all
the Navy-yards on the Pacific Coast and
Is convinced, he says, that the Pacific
Coast should be better protected. He
Is eager to have a big Navy-yard on
the Pacific that will rank In Importance
with the Brooklyn Navy-yard on the
Atlantic, and believea that the Bremer
ton yard, on Puget Sound, should be
developed In accordance with that view.
He prefers Bremerton to Mart Island
at San Francisco on account of the
at 8aa Francisco, on account of -the
the necessity of dredging to accom
modate vessels of deepest draft.
I believe Congress will be ready to
put through a programme of better
defense without serious opposition,
said Senator Tillman.

gers Eaipleyed aad Vessel Is Listed
Only 13 Degrees.
CHICAGO, Aug. J. Stability tests for
big lake passenger steamers ordered by
the city as a result of the Eastland dis
aster began today, when the1 steel
wbsleback excursion steamer Christo
pher Columbus, which has made dally
trips between Chicago and Milwaukee
during the Summer aeason for 20 years,
was subjected to an unusual Inclining
test In an effort to tip It over.
The test was arranged by the owners
of the vessel, and waa held under the
direction of United States Naval Con
structor Ackerman.
Seven thousand five hundred bsgs of
sand, weighing 100 pounds-each, were
loaded on the upper decks of the
steamer early In the day. Th vessel
steamed to a point In the Inner harbor
basin opposite Grant Park shortly
after noon, and several hours later the
work of transferring the thousands of
bags of sand to one side of the boat
was begun.
Those In chsrge of the test estimated
that the sandbags, weighing 760,000
pounds, equaled the weight of 4700 pas
sengers, which Is nearly 1000 more than
the carrying capacity authorised by
previous Government Inspections.
Ths test was a success, according to
the experts aboard. The great weight
of sand listed the boat only 12 degrees.

WHEAT AVERAGE REPORTED AT 33
TO 40 BCSHELS A IV ACRE,
Inspection Trip Made la District Shows
a Large Increase Over Early
Estimates.
SPOKANE. Wash, Aug. 5. (Special.)
Esrly threshing returns from wheat
ranches owned by William Huntley,
vice-president of the Exchange Na
tional Bank, indicate an average yield
of from 35 to 45 bushels an acre. In
the Palouse district few yields will
be less than 30 bushels, and the aver
age will be close to 40 bushels.
The report Is made by Mr. Huntley
after an extensive trip In the district
Yields of 60 bushels are declared not
unusual.
"On the lands that I Inspected per
sonally, the crops will amount to from
00.000 to 70.000 bushels, a large In
crease over early estimates," Mr. Hunt
ley says.
"Growers everywhere In the Palouse
are reporting 40 and 45 bushels. At
Reardan I found similarly high returns.
It la doubtful that the dry sections of
the Big Bend will run much less than
SO bushels."
A report from Wsverly, received at
the offices of the Northern Grain &
Wsrehouse Company, was that thresh
tng returns were 35 to 40 bushels. The
Dullng-Blshop ranch, near Elberta sta
tion, reported an average yield of 50
bushels from 200 acres threshed.
At Lakesdale, threshing returns are
from 40 to 45 bushels
