LEGISLATURE FREE TO ACT Interference in Senatorial Fight Held by Speaker to Be Stretch of Power Primary Choice Is Minority 'Candidate. PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 17 Senator Hsyburo. of Idaho. Speaker Cannon and JtaoraMntatlT Champ Clark wers amon tba speakers at the anniversary aaqust at tba New Jersey Society of Pennarrranla. held here tonight. Mr. Cannon in hia address caused aenaaUon br Ms aerere criticism" of tvoedro Wilson. Uotreraor-alect of Nasr Jersey, for the attitude he h taken In the contest for the United Mtaes Senatorahlp in New Jersey. Xepresentattre l:euben O. Moon. resHsent of the society, presided, and Introduced Champ Clark as the "next speaker. "My friend. Mr. Moon. Introduced me as the next Speaker." said Mr. Clark. -That Is correct, if I lire Ions; enough, unless Kinc Pavld was right when he said that all men are liars. For I have 1SS roters pledged to me and only need 11 to win. "Cncle Joe" Now Harlot; Fun. I live In the hope that, when I lay down the gavel. I will be personally as popular as 'Uncle Joe' la. He Is gettini mora fun out of the present situation than I am. for bla troublea are about orer and mine are but beginning. II I had known that Mr. Cannon and Mr. He) burn wera coming here to night I would hare remained away, for It is a sad waste of material. You shall hare more of Taw material, by the way. la the next 1J montna than you went. "The last election was good for the flepublicans. aa well as for the Demo crats, It chastened them. But I can assure yon that all the legislation by the Democratic House win be (or thi good, the glory and welfare of the country. The pessimists might not think so, but pessimists are a nuisance. "tVe have no room for them In this great country and we ought to kill them off. "While we partlea of Congress fight In debate. I am free to assert that every nan In that body works, according to ois light, (or the country a goou. j.m I promise that, while I am "speaker. I will advise legislation on aafe and sane lines. Cannon Denounces 'Wilson. Mr. Cannon, who followed Mr. Clark, criticised Dr. Wilson (or the stand he baa taken in the New Jersey benator ablp contest. He deplored the undue activity of newly-risen leaders, who, he said, usurp, without authority, the right of the Legislature to choone whom they see fit to represent the state In the National Congress. "Here we have a man." he said, "who declares la a public statement to the lectors that he would oppose to the stent of his power and Influence, thi lection of a former United States Sen ator to the same office this year, and would Insist (mark the work) on the lection of a man who. practically alone, submitted his claims to the members of bis party at the primary, and who received less than one-fourth the votes of the party aa recorded at that election. Remember that he aays this. In spite of the fact that only one -member of tha Legislature is pledged to follow the result of that primary, which In Itself Is not compulsory, but only optional with tha Legislature. I do not Imputa Improper motives to Governor-elect u'llson, the cultured, honorable college president, who has been transferred to executive duties of a great state, but In all ages men who have believed In the policies they ad vocate bava believed in using all tha powers at their command In forcing ahelr adoption. The new Governor will find It Is far less popular to assume the responsibility for legislation as well as administration than It Is to talk about It." PREPARE IS TAFTS ADVICE (Conttaoed from First Pare.) (iece of property, so that should any nation forget Its obligation, we will be in a position to prevent unlawful Injury to thla instrument of commerce so valuable to the world and so Indis pensable to us. "The fact that we fortify the Canal .will not prevent us from discharging all international obligations that ' may have la respect to It, but it will enable ua to defend ourselves In Its possession against tha act of every Ir responsible (ore or nation. It will not prevent our maintaining Its neutrality ir tnat la wise ana rigbt- CosMt Defenses Excellent. Tha president said the United States had excellent coast defenses for every important n arbor that aa enemy would enter. He summarised the prepared- tnesa o( tha country ror war by say. ing: "We probably ought to see to It that we have ammunition and guns enough for ready use In cases of emergency. We hava a militia of about KS.Ooe men. The Array la so constituted that we could enlarge It from a skeleton organisation Into a much larger body. We ought to have more trained officers so as to fur nish the teachers to a larger body of ssen that war might require us to enlist. "There baa been a good deal of talk In the papers and some reference in Congress to the supposed helpless condi tion of this country in the event of foreign Invasion. I venture to think that much more baa been made of this than t"ie facta, calmly considered, would Jus tify. -We have a very good Navy and. with the opening of the Panama Canal. It will he a much more effective one. It will he useful to prevent the coming of an Invading army across the sea. on tha one hand and 6008 miles on tha other, from the source of hostile in vaslon Army Per Capita Cost Big. "Our army ia much more expensive per man. than that of any other nation and It la not an unmixed evil that it Is so. because It necessarily restricts us to the maintenance of a force which Is Indispensable In the ordinary policing of this country and our dependencies and furnishes an additional reason for our using every endeavor to maintain peace. "I congratulate thla association on the recent foundation of Mr. Carnegie, by which, under the wise guidance of Mr. Elihu Root. Mr. Knox and their associ ates, an Income of 1500.000 annually Is to be expended ia the practical promo tion of movements to secure peace. The wide discretion given to the trustees and their known ability, foresight and common sense Insure the usefulness of the gift-" Speaking of the achievements in the past of courts of arbitration. President Tart said: "If now we can negotiate and put through a positive agreement with some great nation to abide the adjudication of an International arbitral court In every Issue which cannot be settled by nego tiations, no matter what it involves, whether honor, territory or money, we shall have made a long step forward." Competition Called Lunacy. "International lunacy" was the way In which W. Bourke Cockran, ex-Representative from New York. In an ad dress at the banquet- referred to the competition between the nations of the world to outdo each other in strength of naval armaments. He said It was keeping the nations poor and was the principal cause of the high cost of living. Mr. cockran expressed the opinion that the era In the history- of the world's civilisation when armaments could safely be done sway with, bad been reached. "I think it capable of demonstration.' he said, "that the increased cost of liv lug throughout the world is due to the enormous waste or property causea oy the peculiar International insanity! which of late years has sssumed th form of frensled competition between nations to establish the most extenslv eaulDment for destruction. X know it has been suggested that the tariff I responsible for the increased cost living In thla country. I am utterly op posed to a tariff for protection in any form. There Is only one way to re form the protective tariff, and that to end it. root and branch." In conclusion he expressed the opinion that International arbitration must pre vail, and bv its success the peace of the world made perpetual. Army Is for Peace, Says Grant. Major-General Frederick D. Grant, son of Ulysses & Grant, whose words. Let us have peace." have been closely associated with his military achieve ments, was one of the speakers at the banauet- He read a letter written by 1'reSdent Grant In 187 to the Uni versal Peace Union, in which he sug rested a permanent court or arbitra tion, the development of which is one of the chief objects or the contcrence. The letter said In part: "I look forward to a day when there will be courts established that shall be recognised by all nations which will take into consideration all differences between nations and settle by arbitra tion or decision of such courts, these Questions." MaJor-UeneraL Grant said ne oeneveo. the United States Army was not an "in strument of aggression." but that it stood for the maintenance of peace. He added that an army always will be necessity to uphold the decisions of The Hague conferences aa well as to prevent International disorders. -That practical results nave been se cured Is certain; that better onea are in store. If we act wisely. Is no less sure." said M. Jusserand. the irrencn Ambassador. Strife Is Fostered. Dr. Eliot declared that Industrial strife was fostered by arbitration because labor unions as well as capitalists ex aggerated their demands, knowing that ultimately these demands would be pruned by arbitration boards. "It tne conienuing parues anew De- forehand that a court of Justice would examine their claims and render judicial decision not a compromise, declared Dr. Eliot, "we would tale fewer Industrial wars." Oscar T. Crosby, of Warrenton, Va president of the World's Peace Feder ation, declared he did not believe arbi tration defective, but at the present time It was the means to be used in avoiding war by limiting armaments of nations. William Dudley Foulkes. president of the New York Municipal League, de fended Dr. Eliot s remarks. Just before Governor-elect Baldwin. of Connecticut, who presided, ad journed the conference, there waa a burst of enthusiasm at informal re marks made by Justice William Ren- wick Rlddell. of the High Court of Ontario, advocating the Immediate abandonment of armaments by the United Statca on the Great Lakes. The analogy of the Supreme Court aa an International law court, that may be used as a prototype for the pro posed international tribunal. rejuve nated conception of the sovereignty of the states of the United States, con spicuous In the days of Webster and Clay, and public opinion aa the sov ereign power In all nations were cited aa the real force which would have to be developed to make the permanent court of arbitral justice a reality. Just before the closing sesalon ad journed at noon today President Taft waa re-elected honorary prealdent and John Hays Hammond was elected president; Governor-elect Simeon E. Baldwin, of Connecticut, vice-president; Theodore. Marburg, of Baltimore, sec retary; J. U. Scbmidiapp, of Cincinnati, treasurer. The executive committer will be: H. B. F. MacKarland. of Washington: W. W. Wllloughby. of Baltimore, and James Brown Scott, of Wash'nrton. retiring president of the society. HENEY WILL END LAND FRAUD GASES Prosecutor Will Dispose of Charges Against Jones, Hermann and Mays. OPINION IS UNCHANGED People Object to Huge Army. "The people of thla country will never consent to the maintenance of a stand ing Army which military experts will pronounce sufficiently large to cope in battle with the standing army of Euro pean countries should they get by our Navy, avoid our harbor defenses and de scend upon our coast. If this leaves ua In a position of helplessness, then so be it. For those who undersatnd the popu lar will of this co-mtry know thst It can not be otherwise." Ia deprecating the Idea of a war care the President said that "A little snore forethought, a little more atten tion to the matter on the part of Con greas sad we shall have all of tha Army and all of the munitions and material ef war that we ought to have eeesbllc, situated as we are, 300 tteriaj In a I miles J MEXICANS OUST, YUMAS Woman In Charge of Savages as They Are Evicted. LOS AXGELE3.'caU Dec. K.-(Special.) Twenty-five years ago a wild band of several hundred Yuma Indians, unwill ing to submit to Federal supervision sod discipline and particularly compulsory education of their children, moved from Southwestern Arizona across the Inter national boundary to Mexico. Yesterday the Mexican government authorities, represented In a strong body of nixales. evicted the Indians from the lands of that republic back Into Ameri can territory, where they belong. There a alight show of resistance, but the band quickly cowed before the ready rides of the Mexican rough riders. This International Incident throws a unique problem on the hands of Miss Anna C Egan. the frail, hut determined superintendent of the Yuma reservation. There are MS totally undisciplined adult savages and SO uneducated children who must be made to submit to the new con ditions. Miss Egan. leas than Ave feet tall, la one of the most remarkable Indian au thorities, and she declares the win, dis cipline the newcomerr GoEcenhelnrs and Morgan, He Says, Stopped Development in North and Roosevelt's "Policies" Still Are Lire Issues. Francis J. Heney, Federal prosecutor of Oregon land frauds and progressive Republican, arrived in Portland last night, and before his departure trill dis pose of the charges against Binger Her mann, Wlllard Janes snd Franklin Pierce Mays. In the first trial of the Hermann case the Jury stood 11 for conviction in the Blue Mountain conspiracy and one for acquittal. Wlllard K. Jones is under conviction in the same case and has been sentenced to a term In jail ana -a fine of $2000. Mays was sentenced to pay a $10,000 fine and was also given a Jail sentence. Mandates from the United States Court of Appeals are now In the hands of United States District Attorney Mc Court. The latter has announced he is under Instructions to take no action in presenting the cases to the United Statca Court without the authority of Mr. Heney. When the court's orders were first received. Mr. McCourt announced he would call the defendants for sentence during the first week in January, un less the mandates should be personally presented by Mr. Heney prior to that time. "I will Investigate my mail the first I thing Sunday morning." Mr. Heney said last night. "At present. I am unable to say what action will be taken In any of the cases. Hermann Case Interests Him. "In tbe matter In which Mr. Her mann Is Interested, I can say I will de vote considerable time to a study of the evidence as It appears at this time. It will be necessary to interview cer tain witnesses and find out what can be done. I do not desire to announce what action will finally be taken, Really, I do not know." Mr. Heney stated he had not had th pardon papers of Wlllard N. Jones I his possession for several months, lndi eating he had returned them to the Department of Justice, but the prose cutor declined to disclose his recora mendatlon. Friends of Wlllard N. Jones have been outspoken for weeks in denunciation o the alleged attitude of the Department or Justice in endeavoring to force Jones to become a party to the conviction of Hermann, to gain the freedom of Jones The statement of Mr. Heney would seem to Indicate that no such pressure is be ing applied. Mr. Heney was outspoken In bis ap proval of the position of the Government with reference to the conservation of Alaska coalfields. Heney believes pri vate corporations should not be allowed to acquire title to the coalfields, but th; American capitalists should be granted leases for a small royalty. I am strongly In favor of conserve tlon In Alaska." mid Heney. "There can be no doubt of the ultimate outcome of the controversy. I believe the supply or fuel and power that remains a fart of the public domain should be retained. The Gugge-nhelms. and the Morgans bave stopped railroad development in Alaska, because .they have found they will not be allowed to secure the mineral lands they intended to acquire. In other words, they want the Government to grant them the subsidy of the coal lands to encourage the building of the roads. Roosevelt Not "Rejected." Progressive Republicans stand for lease of these coal beds, retaining owner ship In the Government, with power to regulate tbe output to prevent monopoly It does not matter what royalty Is paid to the United States; that Is a small Item. Coal must be placed on this Coast at cost that will enable the people to use It. It cannot be done without regula tion. 'Speaking of politics, I do not think Roosevelt waa rejected in New York, nor was the 'New Nationalism' turned down. Fully M).0M Republicans stayed at home In the last election and Stlmson was de feated. That is the story In New York. In other states progressive Republicans were winners and the result or the elec tion. In my Judgment, marks the passing of the 'old party hacks' and tbe advent of men and principles which will keep pace with the progress- ot the world." MILLIONAIRESS IS FREED MARRIAGE OF MRS. MATTEE A. THOMAS VOIDED. Cni on of Aged Woman With J. W, Phillips, at Victoria, B. C Nullified at Seattle, SEATTLE, Wash.. Dee. 17. (Special.) Mrs. Mattie A. Thomas, reputed to be worth $1,000,000 in cash and in land holdings In Washington, today won her suit before Judge Neal. of . Lincoln County, sitting in Seattle, for the an nulment of her marriage to J. W. Phil lips, in Victoria. B. C May SI, 1909. She also sued for restoration to her name of her Individual property ac cumulated before her marriage. Mrs. Thomas Is CO years of age and Phillips Is ten years her junior. The aged plaintiff contended that Phillips waa not legally divorced when he mar ried her and that he afterwards de frauded her of 125,000, which he spent on private projects. Phillips came to Seattle in 1906 and shortly after met Mrs. Thomas In a business transaction, Mrs. Thomas said that Phillips aold her a worthless lot about that time. Phillips paid assiduous court to Mrs. Thomas, despite their business dif ferences, and finally proposed mar riage. He admitted that at the time he was paying marked attention to Mrs. Thomas in Seattle he bad a wife and family In Spokane. The testi mony shows that Phillips returned to Spokane County and that his wife pro cured a divorce for abandonment. Later Phillips renewed his suit for the band of Mrs. Thomas and they were engaged In April. 1909. Immediately upon this announcement the children of Mrs. Thomas raised objection and con tinued until Phillips and Mrs. Thomas fled to Victoria, B. C for their mar riage ceremony. Judge Neal held that the Victoria IT'S TIME YOU' WERE DOING CHRISTMAS BUYING YOUR A' man to buy for? Then go where men's things are. We make a business of selling' to men;- we know what they like.

Seven men walked into a tenderloin gambling club early this morning, held up the 25 in mates, and robbed them of all their money and valuables. The exact amount of the haul is not known. The raid was evidently carefully planned, for it was executed with pre cision. The leaders brushed past the lookout at the door, shouted "Hands up!" and then fired a dozen shots over the heads of the men in the room to frighten them. One man jumped from a second-story window and was found later lying on the pavement with a broken arm. Some shots were returned, and in the exchange another man was wounded by a stray bullet. There was blood upon the floor when the police entered, but the rooms were empty. - The Injured man upon the pavement said the whole affair was over in a twinkling. The robbers fled to the street, and the club members who did not court the acquaintance of the police followed sw-iftly. have been cutting down small trees in the city parks and yesterday Superin tendent Mische prepared to cause arrests to be made as a result. Some of the cutting of trees has been done in the night time, and a watch is to be kept to catch any one who might renew the depredation. Trees in Parks Cut Down.
