Revolutionists
XEW YORK, Nov. 26. Difficul
ties between Peru and Chile, which
resulted yesterday in recall of con-
sular representatives by each nation
from the principalities of its neigh?'
bor, have been overome by an apol
ogy on the part of the Peruvian gov

general of Chile, announced here to-
nltnt. '
A cablegram Informing htm of the
Peruvian apology was received to
night by Mr. Rulx. according to his
statement from the Chilean-minister
of foreign affairs.
Tbe mesage, the consul asserted,
authorized him to announce that the
Peruvian officials admitted that In
making public report of outbreaks
against their citizens in Iqulque and
' Antofagasta. Chile, they had acted
on misinformation. This was fur
nished, lie said, by the Peruvian
consul at Iqulque, whose authority
bad been cancelled for this reason
by the Chilean government.
The apology sent from Lima, Mr.
Rulx added, was wholly satisfac
tory to the Chilean officials and
"brought the misunderstanding to
an end."
1 The consul generat stated a series
of messages received from Santiago
denied reports of actl-Peruvtan dem

English Planning
To Reach Out and
Grab Hohenzollern
LONDON. Nov. 26. It Is under
stood that the question of extradition
of the former German emperor is
being considered" by British law of
ficers of the crown, who are working
in close cooperation with the French
authorities. Action In the premises
was taken immediately after the
flight of the former emperor to Hol
land. The Evening News says It under
stands the law officers have conclud
ed that the allies are entitled to de
mand the extradition of the former
emperor, ana mat mis decision ap
plies also to individuals who have
committed or given instructions for
the commission of extraditable
crimes.
It is added that Holland takes the
view that she has not the power to
surrender such persons without the
consent of Germany

CLARK SAYS
HE IS FOR
THE BUDGET
Chairman of School Board Is
Accused of Hampering
Measure After Having At
tached His Signature.
BUSINESS MEN FAVOR
OUTLAY BEFORE VOTERS
E. T. Barnes Declares Chair
man Has Opposed Nu
merous Moves
By a direct attack before a num
ber of representative business men
of Salem last night the city school
board succeeded in outflanking the
activities of its chairman. II. I..
Clark, who. by his own admission.
has been discouraging a favorable
Tote on the budget for the eomlnj
e.ar- Tbe election, scheduled for
nxt Saturday, is now, by a public
declaration on Mr. Clark's part, to
hive his full support. This state
ment was made at a request from
W. C. Wlnslow, expressing the senti
ment of the finance committee, all
the members of which were present.
The arguent. which occupied sev
eral hours of the most animated dis
cussion so far this year, was pre
cipitated when the conclave had
barely opened by an inquiry from A.
F. Marcus, who had been approached
by Mr. Clark on the subject and had
been given an unfavorable impres
sion of the state of finances of the
city school board. While not In
sympathy with this point of view,
he appeared at the meeting to sat
isfy bimself as to the wisdom of the
proposed budget calling for an in
crease from the present 6.4 mills
levy to 7.6.
When asked for an explanation of
his talk with Mr. Marcus, the chair
man of the board stated that be was
opposed to the additional millage,
and when he had signed the notice
of publication of the budget had done
so because he knew nothing else he
could do in his position.
"If you were not In favor of it
you shouldn't have signed the paper
unless you were held up with a
gun," Mr. Marcus charged him.
Mr. Winslow took up the discus
sion immediately.
"Weren't you asked If the budget
wasn't all right and didn't you make
the. remark in the last school board
meeting that you thought it satis
factory and there would be no op
position to It?'.' he challenged.
"It wasn't until the next day that
I heard any," was the response.
"How could. I stand out alone?"
"Are you-i going around knocking
the measure?" the interrogator quer
ied. "If you are putting up this kind
of fight we want to know it."
Mr. Clark, closely queried, launch
ed into an explanation of his econo
my attitude in the past, this being
supplemented by remarks from the
rest of the board with the Idea of
bringing clearly before the group of
men the Incongruity of his position.
His main objection appeared to have
been to the new metal trades build
ing installed on the high school
grounds, as he claimed that too much
money was being spent there, and
the" project had failed to help win
the war- . .
"Could we help that?" Mr. Wins
low asked. "We'll all concede that
taxes have gone up. but can you take
this budget and point out where we
could ever have got out or this on
less? Do you mean to say you are
out trying to defeat this and cripple
our whole year's work?"
At the request of 'the board. Su
perintendent John W. Todd explain
ed the three increases In the budget.
Higher salaries and general expense
he claimed were chiefly responsible.
Taking the metal trades building he
cited the cost with me equipment
as 15300. showing that Mr. Clark had
exaggerated his complaint to about
twice the figures.
"The scheme is not only a saving
proposition." he said, "but we make
a little on It with which to purchase
supplies. This rflrst year we get
$1800 government subsidy on sal
aries and we have received tonight
our first check for $79 for work

suggestion in the Smith-Hughes act.
The loss is not coming through

of money due to a falling off of the
census, and purchase of the Holman
property. The house on the ground
Just bought Is proving a practical
lesson.
"Under the Smith-Hughes act a
$1,500,000 appropriation, is to be
made annually to subsidize every
state in the union that will do voca
tional work along lines indicated by
the government The schools buy
their own equipment, but half of the
instructors' salaries are paid from
the federal fund. In this way half
of Mr. Bergman's salary Is paid and
also half of the two domestic science
teachers' salarjr. As the federal ap
nrnnrtation increases we will get
more, and there Is even a plan

ey, which has not been exceeded pro
portionately by any other state, the
governor believes warrants the Grant
ing of the favor. The governor Is
especially anxious that all of the or

ceived a commonication from New

ATTITUDE TAKEN .
During Congress "President's
Duty to Beat Seat of
GoTernment,,
NEW YORK. Not. 2. George W.
WIckersham. attorney general In the
Taft administration. In an address to
night before educators, lawyers,
bankers and merchants, engaged in
International trade who are members
of the coucil on foreign relations, ad-vanccd-the
opinion that 'he constitn-.
tion makes It mandatory opon Ylr
President Marshall to aaume tbe of
fice of president if Mr. Wilson leaves
the United State to attend the peace
conference.
Tbe former attorney general quot
ed section one of article two of the
United States constitution which, he
said, prescribed the mode of proced
ure in event of the president's re
moval from office, his death, reslg
nation or Inability to discharge the
duties of his office." He maintain
ed that absence of the president from
tbe seat of government and the coun
try "constitutes an inability to dis
charge the powers and duties of his
office" within the meaning of the
law.
According to Mr. WIckersham. tba
two most Important functions the
president has to perform In connec
tion with a session of congress at
which time, he held "Is the presi
dent's duty to be a the seat ot jot
ernmeut are:
"First, from time to time to 'give
to congress information of lb state
of the anion and recommend to thetr
consideration such measures as he
shall Judge necessary and expedient
and. second, to consider bills which
ehall hare passed the house and sen
ate, and If he approve, to sign then
and If he disapprove to veto them.
The ten days provided by the law
wherein the president must return a, .
bill or It automatically becomes law.
according to Mr. WIckersham. was
Intended "to give citizens Interested
In the bill an opportunity of commun
icating their views to him." Thus
the president, he contended. Is ex
pected always to be In a position to
feel the pulse of public sentiment"
and ''If he Is not within the country
he cannot fitly discharge those da
ties."
A third considered, tbe speaker
continued, "subsidiary to the others
but nonetheless Important," Is In ref
erence to the exercise by the presi
dent of a function n connection with
legislatlo. In case of disagreement
between the two house as to time
of adjournment, he added, the presi
Ident may adjourn them to such a
time as he shall thin proper. This
power, he admitted, had never been
exercised In the past because the
president always has been at the seat
of government when congress was in
session, "and able to avert by friend
ly counsel and suggestion the neces
sity of exercising it."
