TMIS srauAY UKKGOIfTAX, PORTLAND, APRIL 7, 1907. 1.7 DISCUSS NEEDS OF BRITAIN'S EMPIRE Colonies Send Premiers to Fourth Conference in Eng land's Capital. BOTHA AND JAMESON THERE Leader.-, f rom All Quarters or the Globe Will Plan Imperial De fense and a Fuller Measure or Preferential Trade. IjOKDON, April .-Th fourth colonial conference, whloh will assemble- here April 15. promisee to be the most impor tant yet held, although the absence of Jlrieeph Chamberlain, the ex-Colonial Sec retary, whose Imperialistic enthusiasm ave the movement its ereatest impetus, mnd the death of his personal antithesis, Che bluff and picturesque Richard Seddon. the Premier of New Zealand, will be ifireatly felt. Popular Interest Is enhanced by the par ticipation of Dr. Jameson, the Transvaal raider, who is now Premier of Cape Col 'ony. and General Iouis Botha. Premier of tho reconstructed Transvaal. Alfred .Deakln. the Australian Premier; Sir Jo seph G. Ward. Premier of New Zealand: Frederick B. 'Moore. Premier of Natal, and Dr. Jameson have already arrived in Lon don. Sir Wilfrid Laurler, of Canada: Sir Robert Bond, of Newfoundland, and Gen eral Botha are on tholr way. Premier Botha embarked at Cape Town March 27 with the declared purpose of convincing Great Britain of the loyalty of her thitch subjects. He will bo (riven a hearty official welcome on his arrival at Southampton. The most important questions slated for discussion are: A project providing for a permanent council: preferential trade be tween the colonies and Great 'Britain and nmoiiK the colonies themselves; imperial lfense schemes; and immigration, with minor questions, like penny postage, the equalization and patent laws. Chafe at Free Trade. Preferential trade looms up as the larg est subject in the preliminary talk. While the colonists are anxious to give the mother country advantages, they chafe under the one-sided arrangements which yield them no returns. Premiers Iaurler snd Deakin have already gone on record to this effect, and the tendency of co lonial opinion seems to be voiced by the fololwing resolution, which Premier Jame S'.n purposes to Introduce: "This conference, while adhering to the principle of preferential treatment for products and manufactures of the United Kingdom, desires to Impress puon His Majesty's government the opinion that the continuance of such preferential treat ment to British producers and Manufac turers Is largely dependent on the grant ing of some reciprocal provisions to the colonies." This means a step away from free trade. The government desires to evade that di lemma. The next question is that of imperial defense. The Inherent difficulty of the problem will be to draw the distinc tion between Great Britain's position s a European power and as the moth er country of a great colonial empire. Thus Great Britain could not expect the colonies to bind themselves to as 1 ist her In any European war In which they -were not concerned, though any colony could embroil Great Britain in I war without Incurring any but the moral obligation to come to her assist ance. For Defense of Empire. The idea is to endeavor, if possible, to arrive at some agreement or alli ance Insuring; consultation and co-op-erstlon In nny conflict arising from causes outside of purely European pol j ftics, all parties thereto contributing men and mono' for a common defense, upon a population and revenue basis. Dr. Jameson Intends to propose a plan whereby contributions from each colony should be equably fixed, that the condition of the colonies be pre sented before the Imperial Council, at which questions concerning the peace of the Empire shall be discussed. Premier Ward, of New Zealand, fa vors Increasing the colonial naval con tributions. On Asiatic Kxcluslon. Australia Is determined to bring up the Asiatic exclusion question, and PremiT Ward declared, on being inter viewed, that New Zealand was against the admission of Chinese and Japa nese, between whom and New Zea landers he sees the Inevitable struggle for supremacy. The Premier said: "We object to blng bound by treaties in which we have no voice, to admit Asiatics freely." The government has reserved 50 looms In the Hotel Cecil for the enter tainment of the Premiers and their staffs and families. The visitors will be banqueted extensively, and will be given the freedom of several cities. CONCEALS POWER OF HER NAVY Grout Itritnln topics From Japan In Kntcrtalntng Attaches. LONDON. April 6. The naval officers attached to the embassy and legations sccredited to the Court of St. James have found difficulty In obtaining in formation with vegard to Great Britain's naval plans. Great Britain In this re spect is adopting the policy of her Far Kastern ally. When the battleship Dreadnauaht was launched the naval attaches did ascer tain some of the details of her construc tion, but that was Great Britain's first : ttempt to prevent foreigners gaining Information regarding her new ships. A second and more successful attempt Is blug made In ionnectlon with the three mailt cruisers. Invincible, Inflexible and Indomitable. The first two are under -.instruction and the Indomitable was launched recently at Glasgow. As is customary on such occasions, all the naval attsches were invited to the launching of the Indomitable. They ex pected thst before the general public arrived they would be given an oppor tunity to inspect the ship. Instead tiiey were placed under the guidance of an officer who kept them inspecting the W.iler-shop while they were all eager, but too polite to suggest, visiting the in domitable before the hour fixed for the launching. Ordinarily the spaces in which the armor is to be placed are left vacant at In launching, and it has thus been possible for experts easily to Judge the thickness of the plates. But on the In domitable the spaces were filled with planklna-. so there wss no means of even guessing at the thickness of the armor. TI.e attaches say they hav learned nothing regarding this ship. In order to asjske doubly certain that no Information regarding the new navy reaches foreign powers, the Admiralty has issued orders Unit henceforth the same secrecy be maintained regarding all new ships, and that the staff intrusted with the carry ing out of all details of construction be placed upon oath not to divulge the plans. The same secrecy surrounds the Im provement in naval guns which Sir Percy Scott, the gunnery expert, has perfected and is installing on the Mediterranean fleet. Officers and soldiers have been forbidden to communicate to the press any information or views on any military subject. TROOPS READY FOR STRIKE French Government Will Not Be Caught Napping by Labor. PARIS. April 6. The commanders of the troops composing the garrison of Paris are said to have received secret instructions this afternoon, In view of the possibility of a general striae being called, to hold themselves subject to orders of the commissaries of police. The government, fearing that the Federation of Labor may make some demonstration in sympathy with the state employes along the same line as the recent strike of the electricians of Paris, does not intend to be caught napping. It accordingly is making ar rangements by which the police au thorities may obtain military assist ance at any hour should occasion arise, by simply telephoning to the nearest barracks. Tho leaders of the Federation of La bor, having learned a lesson from the arrests made on May day last year, are preserving the strictest secrecy re garding their plans. It Is understood that, if there Is a general strike. It will not occur May 1, but on a date which will be made known only a few hours before hand. MINERS GO BACK TO FOLD INDUSTRIAL WORKERS TURNED DOWN AT Gol.iil ll l.li. Huge Mass Meeting Decides to Form Local Under Western Federa tion Mines to Reopen. GOLD FIELD, Nev., A"pril . Nearly 2000 miners In mass meeting this aft ernoon votod to take the management of their affairs out of the hands of the Industrial Workers of the World and to apply for their old charter in the Western Federation of Miners. The vote stood 758 to 514 and was reached only after a session lasting from 2 P. M. until a few minutes before 6 o'clock. The speech of Acting President Ma loner, of the Western Federation of Minors, advocating separation, was vig orously applauded. The Industrial Workers of the World were well rep resented at the meeting. The miners will proceed at once to organize a local. The money expended in their behalf by the Industrial Workers of the World will be refunded and the miners' hospital will hereafter be con trolled and managed by the miners. A committee from the miners will probably meet the mineowners Mon day or Tuesday and agree upon a con tract for the employment of the min ers at the existing scale for a period of years. It Is believed the mines will be reopened by the end of the coming week. STEEL TRUST SHUTS DOWN Deprives Shipyard Strikers of Any Chance of Employment. LORAIN. O.. April 6- Notices were posted at the mills of the United States Steel Corporation here today that the plant would shut down for two weeks for repairs beginning tonight. This will af fect 8000 men. It Is said that most of the employes of the plant are union men. The enforced idleness of so many men at this time may have an effect on the strike at the shipyards. That the city authorities think so is known by an order of Mayor King to Captain Gov of Company B to keep his men at the armory under arms until further orders. A large number of strikers today applied at the steel plant for employment. When it was learned that they were strikers from the shipyards, they were refused work. The strikers are leaving the city. Arbitration, which was attempted as a possible means of settlement of the strike, did not succeed today, but a renewed attempt will be made Monday by a committee acting on behalf of the strikers. Superintendent Lemarch. of the Ameri can Shipbuilding Company, declared to night that the backbone of the strike is broken and said that the company of ficials would on Monday, as they did to day, decline to meet the committee on arbitration. They held that there Is nothing to arbitrate. Lemarch said to night that 500 men are working at the plant and that double that number will be there Monday. C. A. Vandemere, Thomas Murtah and labor representa tives are urging the strikers to stand out and not to accept arbitration or to return to work. Dr. Van Nuys. of this city, who is at the head of one of the civic organizations in which most of the strikers are enrolled as members, came out strongly tonight in favor ot arbi tration. TRAINMEN SIGN AND LEAVE Firemen Still Waiting in Chicago tor Similar Concessions. CHICAGO. April 6. The general agreement which was reached between Western roads and their employes in the train service through the mediation of Commissioners Knapp and Neill was signed today, and the committee mem bers who have been here for three months left for their homes. The Brotherhood of Firemen, which has been negotiating for practically the same demands as the trainmen and conductors, have about reached an agrement with the roads. It is the general belief that the firemen will be granted the same concessions as the conductors and trainmen. Strikebreakers In Roslnn. BOSTON. April ;. Although 120 strikebreakers appeared on the streets of the city today with 40 teams of the transportation companies. against which a strike was declared this week, there was no disorder.

DDELL ON TRULY GREAT ABILITY TO SHOOT STRAIGHT NOT ENTIRELY NECESSARY. Even Though "Ignorant Applaud, Man Without "Dignity and Re sponsibility' Is No Gentleman. NEW YORK, April 6. The annual din ner of the Grillers' Club was held here to night and was made the occasion for speeches by a number of prominent New York State persons, including ex-Governor Odell. D. Cady Herrick and other?. There were many jokea and humorous songs. Mr. Odell, in the course of a speech, said : Some men who have become famous en circle themselves within the boundaries of their own egotism. Give me the simple man in preference to him whose constant hankering for power and pelf has distracted his Imagination and led him to the belief that his honesty the only simoo pure article, and that all other members of society are cheats, frauds and liars. It takes something more than the power to Inflict personal or political chastisement, to climb hills and to shoot, to make a brave man. The bravest man Is he who can discern his own faults and make both con fession and reparation for them. Dignity in the characteristic of a gentle man. Responsibility should bring with it respect for judgment, but when there li a sacrifice of both dignity and responsibility, through utterances that are Incompatible with either or both, that man la not a great man who thus indulges, no matter if the Ignorant applaud him for these utter ances. The paternalism in government which seeks to take away from the individual the power of initiative and performance, which aims to safeguard him In the same manner we protect the Infant, not only fails In Us purpose, but Is a positive Injury to the community. It Is much better for us to disagree with the great and the Intelligent, to be tena cious of our rights, than to be like "dumb driven cattle." acquiescent because It Is easier to be followers than leaders; follow ers of those who, like ourselves, are but luman and liable to err.
