FRAME DECLINES
TO MAKE
Insists Officers Did Right With
Deserters at Casa
Blanca.
GERMANY SOON TO REPLY
French Government. Backed by Rus
sia and Britain. Firm but Con-
, , dilatory Avoids Inflamingr
German Pnblic Opinion.
PAFil. Nov. 7. Germany, it was
learned here tdy. at nr.t refused to
accept the formula i-roposed by Franca
for Feitlement of the rasa Blanca in
cident, proposing at the name tima
certain modifications therein. These
were rejected by France In lier turn,
after which Germany declined to re
examine the formula.
Ia.t night Herr von Sclioen. the
German foreiKii secretary. Informed
Ambasador Cambon that the French
formula was satisfactory, provided a
clause was added In which France ex
pressed her reeret for the violence
committed on the person of the Ger
man consular attache. Germany at the
same time to express regret that the
Gernrfin Consul had exceeded his pow
ers fi offering protection to deserters
front the foreign legion of the French
army who were not oerman subjects.
Cambon Firmly Devllnes.
Ambassador Cambon politely but
firmly derlined to transmit such a
proposition to Paris, explaining that
Ins instructions did not permit him to
receive any proposition involving ten
sure of the French action. Herr von
Pohoen thereupon agreed again to ex
amine the French formula. The final
response from Germany Is not ex
pecteJbefore next Tuesday.
The publication of the following
abatement was authorized today:
.' France Slate Position.
"France remains entirely concilia
tory. We don't desire to hold to the
strict Interpretation of wording. "We
are willing to make any concession in
the matter of the formula suggested
by us that Germany deems necessary
to save appearances. provided this
does not prejudice the case or involve
Indirect or direct censure of the ac
tion of our officers and soldiers at
Casa Blanca. who. we are convinced,
are In the right.
-On this point the government ia
backed by the unanimous opinion of
the press and Parliament. The coun
try is unanimous also In the belief
that any other course would be un
worthy the national dignity and mean
the immediate fall of the government.
"Kuswla and Great Britain, with
whom we are having dally exchanges,
fully support our attitude.'
Avoids Knraginz Germany.
As another proof of its desire to
avoid envenoming the situation, the
French government has decided to
withhold publication of the report of
the police investigation at Casa Blanca.
because it believes that this so com
pletely Justifies the French attitude
that to give it out would result in
inflaming public opinion against Ger
many. It has turned out that one of
the three supposed German deserters
is a naturalized Frenchman.
The cabinet today approved unani
mously Ambassador Cambon's response
to Herr von Schoen.
Sir Francis Bertie, the British Am
bassador, and M. . NelidofT. the Kus
ian Ambassador, were in conference
this afternoon with Premier Clemen
ceau and Foreign Minister Pichon.
SENATE DUE FOR BATTLE
(Continued from Fiist Fas-
Is the strongest, for lie has Ions b'n
Aldrii h's first lieutenant, lie knows the
game, he understands Aldrkh's methods,
he is today second in command, and his
selection would b; In the nature of a promotion-.-
But Hale is well advanced in
years, and his ace i' besinning to tell.
lie has not the vigor of Aldrich. though
quite as cunning, and much abler in de
bate. ,
Senator ftean. of New Jersey, stands
little show, for while he has been as
faithful to Aldrich as any member of
the Senate, he yet possesses a person
ality that is against him. And. more
over. Kean. while a good man to oper
ate tinder instructions from another.
Is not such a one as ia competent to
lead. Senator Frye is mentioned as a
possibility merely because it might be
nrce:-ary to select a compromise man.
and in that event I'rye will fill the
bill. He has long been president pro
tein of the Senate, and if there should
be a deadlock the Aldrich crowd
might take hint up rather than turn
the leadership over to the opposition.
Choice of Four.
On the other hand, if the radicals
should gain control of the Senate ma
jority by the beginning of the S2d
Congress no Senator prominently Iden
tified with the Aldrich crowd would be
allowed to assume the management.
One of their own number would be
chosen, and the choice would lie prob
ably between rolliver of Iowa. Bev
eridge of Indiana. IjiFollette of Wis
consin and Lodge of Massachusetts.
If seniority were to govern. Senator
T.ndge would be chosen leader, for his
rVnatorial service far outranks the
others of Ms faction. Hut Lodge is
reallv out of It. not alone because lie
Is unpopular, but because he is not. a
skilled politician. FreMdent Roose
velt, his closest friend, said not long
ago: 'Senator Lodffe is a splendid
fellow and a finished scholar, but he
certainly Is not a politician." The
leader of the Republicans in the Sen
ate must be a politician. That is one
of the first requisites.
Progressive Ones Ii-likcl.
II would be difficult to tell whether
ljiFollette or Beveridge is the more un
popular with th Aldrich crowd In the
Senate. Certainly they are the two
most hated. Beveridge has never been
liked because he has forced himself
too rapidly: ljiFollette is heartily dis
liked because he has refused to act
w-lth tils party, and has at times done
Ms utmost to embarrass his party.
Beveridge. on the other hid. has at
one time or another antagonized and
angered half the members of the Sen
ate. And so -the choice, if a radical (so
called is to succeed Aldrich, would
seem to1 center upon Senator rolliver
of Iowa, one of th most popular and
most beloved members of the Senate,
and among the ablest. Dolllver. more
over, is on intimate terms with the
incoming administration, a fact that
would help him if he became a candi
date for party leadership in the Sen
ate, in the middle of the Taft admin
istration. Knox Possibility.
It is within the Dotinds of possibil
ity that Senator Knox would be ac
ceptable to the radicals of the Senate
if Aldrich should retire, for his at
tainments are duly appreciated by all
Senators, and it is also true that he
has not been a "hidebound" Aldrich
man during the years lie has been In
the Senate. Yet the fact that he has
generally sided with Aldrich would
hurt him with the radicals if they
held the balance of power. As a mat
ter or fact Knox, if chosen Republican
leader of the Senate, would handle af
fairs very differently from what they
have been handled by the Rhode Island
Senator, and his conduct would be less
subject to criticism and denunciation.
Being very friendly with Taft. he
would unquestionably be an ally, rath
er than a foe. of the next administra
tion, and this fact will be of assistance
to him If he should get into the race.
But. after all. everything depends
upon whether Aldrich retires or Is de
feated, and if he does retire much
depends upon the makeup of the Re
publican membership at the time.
HELLER IS CHOSEN
RUSSIANS SLAY POACHERS
SLAUGHTER AND CAPTURE JAPS
OX COPPER ISLANDS.
Nine Men Killed. Xine Captured and
Two Boats Crews Aban
doned in Flight.
VICTORIA. B. C. Nov. 7. News was
brought by the Kmpress of India of
further tragedies at the Copper Islands
as a result of raiding by Japanese
sealiDg schooners. Advices from the
Copper Islands by way of Vladivostok
state that nine members of the crew of
the Japanese sealer Boso Maru were
shot and killed by the Russian guards
at the seal rookery on Copper Island
and nine of the crew of the schooner
Toyo Maru. which attempted a raid
at Copper Island when homeward
bound from the Bering Sea. where the
rookeries were too closely guarded this
year to allow of 'such operations, were
captured by the Russian guards.
The sealing schooler Boso Maru on
her return to Japan reported having lost
two boat crews at the Russian rook
ery and those on board had no knowl
edge of the fate of the men, who were
abandoned on the seal island when the
schooner slipped her anchor and ran to
avoid capture by the Russian guard
ship Sbilka.
ADVOCATES MORE DIRT
SwIa Professor Says That American
Children Are Kept Too Clean.
CHICAGO. Nov. 7. "American chil
dren are too cleaji, too rain and too
'puffed up.' American school teachers
are too much Inclined to be fashionable.
American parents are too anxious to
earn money." This is the view of con
ditions in the United States taken by
Profnssor Fritx Koch, of the Lake Ge
neva New School. Switzerland. His
opinions, gained during a recent visit
to American educational institutions,
are stated in an article on the "Con
servatism of Childhood." in the Novem
ber number of the Elementary School
Teacher issued yesterday from the Uni
versity of Chicago press. Professor
Koch believes the children would loe a
part of their vanity if the too fash
ionable school teachers were banished
from the srhoolrooms.
"Not least among the detriments to a
natural development of children Is fash
ion, a forced culture of vanity and ex
travagance." he declares in discussing
the tendency to place clothes above
learning. "Not only the parents, but
also the teachers set the example.
To follow slavishly all the extrava
gances of fashion sterns to be a far
stronger tendency than the desire to be
refined and simple. Cleanliness is a vir
tue not demanded from the factory hand
while at work, but children while at
piny are constantly reprimanded be
cause of their dirty hands, spots on
their clothes, etc. So frequently are they
called away from their real life because
of this and so dressed up are many of
them, "because the father can afford
and the mother likes ft. that natural, in
tense wild ptay is gradually replaced by
occupations of lesser value, or by games,
like tennis. haAnetball and baseball. Real
boys and girls are rovers in field and
forest, in alleys and dangerous places."
DENIES MRS. HAINS' STORY
Ludlow Declares There Was Xo Rev
elrj" at Fort Hamilton.
NEW TORK. Nov. 7. Stories of revelry
in the Army post at Fort Hamilton dis
closed in letters alleged to have been
written by Mrs. Claudia Hains to her hus
band. Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr.. were
dented today by Lieutenant-Colonel Henry
I.udloiv. who has been in command at th
fort. Practically every officer who was
stationed at Fort Hamilton during the
time mentioned In Xrs. Hains" letters has
been ordered to another and in many in
stances a distant post. It was when
questioned in reference to the tranpfers
of officers that Lieutenant-Colonel Lud
low took occasion to deny some of the
statements made in Mrs. Hains' letters.
Thee letters were written while Mrs.
Hains was living In officers' quarters at
Fort Hamilton after her .husband had
been ordered to the Philippines.
"If any investigation ever was made by
the War Department of the reported rev
elries here, the investigation passed,
around me." vald Colonel Iudlow. "No
one ever asked me a question about It.
That makes m more positive In my
declarations' that the revelations made by
Mrs. Hains had nothing to do with the
transfers."
Colonel Ludlow said he had issued an
order to keep 'William E. Annls out of
the post after he had received a warning
from General Hains. father of Captain
Hains. th-it serious trouble might come
if the men met.
"He told me he feared his son would
shoot Annis." said CWone Ludlow.
RUMOR MAKES STOCK SOAR
Ilarriman's t'oniM-ction With X. Y.
C. Has Yeast Cake Effct-t.
XRW YORK. Nov. 7. The big advance
In New York Central stock today was
attributed in part to a rumor current In
the street that K. H. Harriman soon Is
to bcome a factor in the control of that
system. Neither confirmation nor deniaJ
of this report was to be had today. Mr.
Harriman declined to discuss the subject.
NEW TORK. Nov. 7. Edward H. Har

that rumor. He declines to discuss the
subject.
Riverside Youth to Accompany
President to Africa.
APPOINTMENT IS SURPRISE
Honor W as Unsolicited and Came
as Result of the Californlan's
Achievements in Strange and
Little - Known Lands.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Nor. 7. Attract
ed by the remarkable achievements of
Edmund Heller In his explorations of
strange and little-known lands. Presi
dent Roosevelt has selected this 26-year-old
Riverside youth from a list
of hundreds of eminent scientists and
naturalists of the Nation who aspired
to the place to accompany him into the
wilds of Africa next March.
The honor comes to the California
boy not only unsolicited but unexpected.
The fact of his appointment was first
learned when his mother. Mrs. Marion
Heller, of Riverside, received a letter
from the youthful explorer in which he
declared that the President has sent
him a cordial Invitation and requested
the State University Museum authorities
to release him for a year so that he
can accompany the Roosevelt expedi
tion. In this letter. Heller modestly
tells of the great honor offered him,
gives the personnel of the party and
its Itinerary and outlines some of the
duties that will devolve upon him. The
letter is as follows:
President Writes Hi in.
"An awful thing happened a few
weeks ago and I have consequently be
come more or less excited. President
Roosevelt wrote to Miss Alexander for
my release that I might accept his of
fer to accompany him to Africa next
March. Miss Alexander consented
rather reluctantly to my absence for a
whole year, as she feared that other
things might turn up so tnat I would
not wish to return to California.
"A few days ago 1 received a lonr let
ter from the President outlining his plans
and expressing nis pleasure at my ac
ceptance. He seems to have a rather ex
aggerated view of my value. I believe
that he received most of his Information
about me from Dr. Merrlam. of the unit
ed States Biological Survey, but 1 am not
at all certain about this.
"If I go. my chief work will he taking
care of the large game and supplyin;
advice at the start. Later, on our re
turn. I may classify part of the collec
tion, which will be deposited in the Na
tional Museum at Washington.
Those Who Are to Go.
"The party consists of the President
and his son. Kermlt, Dr. Means, a unit
ed States Army doctor, and well-known
naturalist, and J. A. Loring. a neld nat
uralist. Mr. Roosevelt and his son will
do all tne shooting of big game, and
Iirlnr will collect small animals. Dr.
Means will be the chief naturalist, and I
am selected as his colleague. As I have
not et heurd from Dr. Means, I am
still "uncertain about some of the de
tails.
"The party will leave New York March
23 and go direct to Naples.' and thence
to Mombasa. Most of our time will be
Kpent in British and German Last Africa,
in the central elevated portion, wuii
which I am already familiar. As I am
the only member of the party who tus
had African experience. I fear that con
siderable advice and some responsibility
will he exnected of me. I am, however.
delighted with the prospect of traveling
with a man who is so universally ua
mlred for his character and ability, and
I only hope that I may be of real assist
ance to him. .
Trip Will Last a Year.
The trip will last one year and will
begin in British East Africa. From there
we shall go to German East Africa, and
thence to Uganda and down the Nile to
Khartoum and on by steamer to Cairo. I
shall not leave for Washington until Jan
uary." "
Mr. Heller has traveled extensively also
in Mexico. Central and South America,
Alaska and other lands.
GREAT WARSHIP LAUNCHED
Sixth British Vessel of Dreadnaught
Class Xamed Colllngwood.
DAVENPORT. England. Nov. 7.
The Colllngwood. the most powerful of
all British battleships and the sixth
vessel of the Dreadnaught class to be
placed in the water, was successfully
launched here this afternoon.
Mrs. Asquith. who was accompanied
by her husband, the Prime Minister,
gave the signal which set the launch
ing machinery in action, and as the
huge mass of steel plunged into the
water she christened the vessel Col
lingwood. I
While this new battleship is of the
same type as the Dreadnaught and has
the same number of heavy guns, the
same radius of action and the same
speed, her big guns have a greater
caliber and the gun fortifications
against torjiedoes have a higher muz
zle energy and velocity.
The admiralty expects to place the
Collingwood in commission early in
1910.
