THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD. OREGON, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 15, 1907. vxqx BRYAN BOOSTS FOR TARIFF REVISION ITo Would License Corporations Thinks Trusts AVould Soon t Dissolve. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 14. Wll lam J. Bryan was the guest of honor on the 21st anniversary o the Jef ferson Club of this city at Planking ton House last night. Covers were laid for over 500 guests. Ho respond ed to the toast "Democracy." Mr. Bryan discussed the Demo cratic idea of government as pre sented by Jefferson, contrasting with tho Hamilton theory of centraliza tion, and in speaking of the spheres of the nation and slate took occasion to condemn the national incorpora tion of railroads as proposed by the president, saying that however hon estly tho president intended it, it was in tho interests of tho railroads, which desired not greater federal regulations but escape from tho state regulation. Ho discussed tho trust, tariff and Tailroad questions. On tho trust question ho favored tho enforcement of tho criminal law against the trusts and the enactment of new laws, one of which is known as the license system, to be applied to corporations when they control as much as 25 per cent of the total output of their respective lines. According to this system, no one corporation would be allowed to control more than 50 per cent of tho total product. On the tariff question he favored Immediate revision, beginning with the tariff on articles which come into competition with trust-made articles. Such a tariff, he thought, ought to be entirely removed. He believed that tho fear of the removal would com pel tho dissolution of such trusts as aro protected by tho tariff. He re garded a tariff commission as merely an excuse for delay of revision. The protectionists, he said, never favor tariff revision until they are threat ened with defeat, and then they favor it only to postpone reductions. On tho railroad question he ex pressed himself as in favor of moro Btringent regulations, these regula tions to take tho form of legislation for ascertaining the present value of tho railroads, preventing tho water ing of stock and reduction rates. He argued that a reasonable rate would be a rate that would enable the rail roads to maintain their stock at par when the road was honestly capital ized. Ho discussed tho present money stringency, saying that It began with speculation In New York, but that It had extended owing to the timidity of tho depositors. Ho thought" that its timidity was not justified, and that tho banks of tho west were sound. Ho favored legislation which by increasing the security of deposit ors would remove even an unreas onable fear. Mr. Bryan will leave Mllwaukeo today for a week's tour of tho state.

THE FIRE BOYS WANT A SIREN WHISTLE At a meoting of tho Voluntoor Fire Department, hold in tho City Hall, oa Wednesday ovonlng a cona- mlttee was nppointcd to present a proposition to tho City Council look ing towards securing a siren whistle for tho city. It is proposed to havo the whistle placed on tho electric light plant, where it could be heard in' all parts of the city, and that it shall be used for no other purpose than for fire alarms. Those who havo heard the unearthly screeches up and down the scale which ono of these siren whistles furnish, under stand that a whistle of this kind would bo the host firo alarm the city could install. A code of signals was adopted at tho meeting as fol lows: four blasts will bo the general alarm; tho city has been divided Into six firo districts, as follows: all that portion of tho city north of A stret, district 1; between Queen avenue and A, west to Fifth, district 2; Railroad addition, district 3; South Marshfield, district 4; West Marshfield, district C; Ferndale, district 6.

Before the meeting was over the boys adopted a uniform. This will consist of a blue flannel shirt, a reg ulation cap, belt and badge. These aro either to bo obtained from the. Council or purchased by money raised for the purpose in case tho Council does not see fit to make the appropriation for tho same.

Mr. Good rum came to Coos Bay from New Orleans the past summer and with the Intention of opening a business establishment. He waited long for tho accepted time and opportunity to secure a stand.but finally he was able to obtain the corner he desired and Immediately made arrange ments for it. Mr. Goodrum started for Chicago a few weeks ago to lay in a stock of the latest and most stylish things in his line, but met a Chicago traveling man in Port land with a full ine of latest sam ples and accordingly bought of him and saved tlmo and expense of a long trip. For the past two weeks the carpenters have been busy re modeling the store building ho will occupy and the Interior has been finished in mission style. Tho stock of goods is being placed on the shelving and displayed for tho open ing of tomorrow morning. It is plain that Mr. Goodrum has a good business corner and should do well, since he Is a young man of good address and comes to Marshfield with excellent recommendations. TWO FOOTBALL GAMES HERE NEXT SUNDAY The football enthusiasts will have an opportunity of witnessing a novel ty in the football line on Sunday. It is generally conceded that if ono can seo ono game of football in a day he is indeed fortunate, but to day tho two Independent teams of Marshfield will meet at tho baseball grounds at 1:30 and contest two 15 mlnuto halves, with an Intormis sion of ton minutes. After the game Is ovor and tho winners havo an op portunity to rest, tho High School boys will lino up against them and seek to lower their colors.

BRITISH.ADMIRAL AROUSES WRATH Objected Repainting Ships in Honor of the German Em peror.' London, Nov. 14. An extraordi nary incident lias come to light in connection with tho visit of Empe ror William. It is related that at tho end of the recent maneuvers the channel fleet and tho first cruiser squadron were ordered by tho Ad miralty to repaint, etc., in honor of tho German Emperor. Upon receipt of this order Sir Percy Scott, com mander of tho cruiser squadron, sent the following signal to two of his vessels: "Paint work appears to bo more in demand than gunnory, so you had better como In in tlmo to look pret ty by tin Sth Inst." Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, in a general order to tho fleet re lating tho instructions to repaint, refers to tho signal sent out by Sir Percy Scott as "contemptuous in tono and insubordinate In charac ter," and orders Sir Percy to have it stricken from tho signal logs. SJi- Porcy Scott and tho members of -ilg staff were summoned aboard Admiral Boresford's flagship last Friday and the Admiral' reprimand was read to them. This affair has created 'consterna tion in tho fleet and there Is a prob ability that It will lead to tho res ignation of Sir Percy Scott. Rear-Admiral Sir Percy Scott is probably tho best versed office- in gunnery in tho British navy, and he Is well-known as the man who sived Ladysmi h in 1899, because 'he de vised a special carriage for C-Inch and 4.7-luch guns from the cruiser Terrible, which he commanded at Durban, of which port he was made commandant, for his blunt and di rect statements. Sir Percy commanded the gunnery school of the Royal navy in 1903-05 and he has been director of naval target proctlee. He was naval aid to King Edward In 1903-05. He is the inventor of the night signal- ap paratus now In use in the British navy. WANTED Steady room and bouvd with private- family, by two yourg gentlemen. A.
