COPENHAGEN', Oct. 13. The Ger
man Ileichstag- adjourned, leaving be
hind it a latent crisis, -which political
observers believe will lead sooner or
later to the retirement of Dr. Michaelis,
the Chancellor, without a following.
Other parties are less actively in op
position to Dr. Michaelis than the .So
cialists, but not a voice has been raised
ag-ainst the Vorwaerts' slogan,
"Michaelis must go."
Recent arrivals from Berlin report
that current gossip there is that
Michaelis can scarcely last a month.
The Chancellor's blunder in springing
the disclosures of the alleged naval
plot, against which, according to the
National Zeitung, he was strongly ad
vised, and his failure to make headway
against the Richstag majority, appeal
to have lost him the Conservative and
Pan-German support.
Von Buelovr May Be Candidate.
The speeches at the .concluding ses
sion of the Reichstag must be read in
the light of the expectation that the
days of Michaelis are numbered. The
speech of the Radical Deputy. Hauss
mann, contained passages intended to
launch the candidacy of Prince von
Buelow, which is still being pressed
as vigorously as possible.
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 13. Dnrinsr the
debate on the censorship in the Reichs
tag on Thursday, says a Berlin dis
patch. Deputy Heinrich Mueller said:
"We are reminded of the worst times
of the old Roman Empire. AVe are
suffocated under a heap of official
paper prescriptions of mock justice, in
justice and arbitrariness. People sigh,
'Who will free us from this deluge
of evil paper?' Confidence is ruined
by the manner in which the state of
siege is exercised.
"Homogeneity is lacking in the impe
rial leadership and the higher military
leadership. The relations between the
general command and the trades
unions is becoming worse and worse.
It is a scandal how the pacifist lead
ers are deprived of all their rights at
a time when great concessions are be
ing made to the government's pacif
ism." After a strong criticism of the
methods of the press bureau, the
speaker continued:
"It was not lack of men, but of
equipment, that was responsible for the
outcome of the battle of the Marne.
"It looks as if there were elements
In Germany working for an open con
flict between the government and Par
liament." MICHAELIS' POWER IS GONE
Berlin Papers Generally Agreed De
position. Is Imperative.
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 13. According
to the latest information of the Berlin
newspapers the resignation of Vice
Admiral von Capelle, Minister of Ma
rine, has not yet. been submitted, al
though it has been decided upon. (Fri
day night's announcement of the Min
ister's resignation came through Am
sterdam, credited to the Frankfurter
Zeitung.) The delay may be due to the
absence of Emperor "William, who, ac
companied by Foreign Secretary von
Kuehlmann, is at Sofia, and may per
haps go to Constantinople, as the pub
lished itinerary of Dr. von Kuehlmann
Includes a visit to the Turkish capital.
The Pan-German Lokal Anzeiger, the
National-liberal Deutsche Kurier, the
Catholic Germania, the Radical Tage
blatt and the Socialist Vorwaerts agree
that the prestige of Chancellor Mich
aelis is shattered and his power so
broken that his disposition is impera
tive. The Kurier suggests that a change
In the chancellorship has been tem
porarily deferred on tactical grounds,
to avoid the impression that there had
been a surrender to Socialist pressure.
Virtually the entire press sneers
openly or covertly at the Chancellor's
attempt to get clear by shouldering
the responsibility upon Vice-Admiral
von Capelle. It is pointed out that the
Chancellor himself went virtually as
far as the Minister of Marine in the

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13. (Special.)
Mrs. James Whitcomb Brougher. wife
of the well-known pastor of the Temple
Baptist Church here and former pastor
of the "White Temple Church at Port
land, was painfully injured in an
auto smashup while returning from a
day at Catalina Island as the guest
with others of Dustin Farnum on his
private yacht Ding. The party in
cluded members of the Billy Sunday
organization.
Mrs. Brougher is reported not seri
ously injured and the other occupants
of the car in which she was riding
escaped- with nothing worse than a
shaking up. The accident was caused
by an effort to avoid a collision with
another motorist, who cut in ahead
from a side street. The car was
wrecked.
In the car, one of three carrying the
party from Wilmington, were Mrs. H.
P. Caulfield, who was driving; Dr. and
Mrs. Brougher, Mr. and Mrs. Bernal
Dyas, Homer Rodeheaver. leader of the
Sunday Tabernacle music, and Mr.
Caulfield.
According to Dr. Brougher, Mrs.
Caulfield was driving north on Main
street at not more than 23 miles an
hour, when a small car darted from a
side street to her left. In an effort to
avoid striking, the newcomer, Mrs.
Caulfield swung to the right, striking
the curb.
Mrs. Brougher, who was riding in the
front seat, was thrown against the
windshield, breaking it. She received
severely lacerated wrists and arms, a
cut on the lip and bruises on the body.
A passing automobile was hailed and
she was rushed to the family residence
at No. 1331 West Fourth street and a
physician was called. He declared the
injuries not dangerous. None of the
other members of the party was in
jured, aside from shock. The motorist
who violated the rules of the road.
sped on after the accident. His identity
is unknown.
Billy and Ma Sunday and Dustin
Farnum narrowly escaped being in the
smash-up. Billy and Ma first decided
to ride to town with Mrs. Caulfield, but
later changed their minds, coming in
with Dustin Farnum and escaping in
Jury. The Sunday car was at some lit
tle distance when the wreck occurred.
The Sunday party spent the day at
Catalina, fishing and seeing the sights
of the island. George Sunday battled
for an hour with a gigantic sword
fish, weighing nearly 150 pounds.
When it was nearly landed the hook
broke and the work of the patient
fisherman went for naught.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Oct. 13. Senor
de Aldunate, the Chilean Ambassador,
at the launching of a steamer here
today, spoke hopefully of his country
being able to break the monopoly of
freights exercised by- commercial
houses of Europe. The Ambassador
said:
"I 'addition to her remoteness and the
Cordillera of the Andes, an artificial
element has contributed to Chile's iso
lation, the monopoly of freights exer
cised by the great commercial houses
of Europe by virtue of which we have
been barred from direct communication
with buyers and sellers. Our produc
tion, industries and commerce have
been arrested. Now we call to our aid
a powerful competitor who will break
this monopoly and give us freedom,
tearing down the Chinese wall of
freight monopoly.
"This is the first time the United
States Government has taken a step of
this nature; it has broken its tradi
tions and undertaken a work which
heretofore .exclusively has been one of
private initiative.
"Chile receives with applause the
work of commercial intercourse and
more intimate political relations. The
United States does not know Chile well
enough and the best vehicle for such
knowledge is the steamship which is
today born to the hazardous life of the
sea."
