chamber session of the board of edu
cation, it leaked out that Kuntz and
Principal Kirkpntrick had been fired,
their alleged offense being failure to

Some time ago tho board of educa

Daniels Tells Visitors Action in
Barring Intoxicants Is
Moral One.'
FRIENDS OF WILSON
QUOTE OLD LETTER
In It He Said While Governor
of New Jersey, He Was for
Local Option.
Washington, April S.Socrctary of
tho Navy Daniels was ait pains today
to toll visitors that the order against
intoxicants on American warships or in
naval shore stations was not to be
taken as committing the administra
tion to a prohibition ' stand. It .was
Bimply to promote efficioney, he said,
and to some extent in the interest of
fairnoss, since if the enlisted men re
not allowed to drink, it did not seem
right that tho officers should b8 al
lowed to do
Friends of President Wilson quoted
a lotter which he wrote, whilo gover
nor of New Jersey, as illustrative of
his views on the llqubr question. "1 am
in favor of local option," said this let:
tor. "I am a thorough believer in
loc.nl self-government, nnd bcliove that
every solf-governlng community which
constitutes a social unit should have
tho right, to control thnt matter of the
regulation or the withholding of li
censes Question Aro Social and Moral. "
"Tho questions involved arc social
and moral, and not susceptiblo of being
mado ports of a party program. When
over they have been mndo the subject
matter of party contests they have cut
tho Jines of party organisation and par
ty athwart, to the utter confusion of
political action in every other field.
Thoy have thrown every other ques
tion, howover Important, into tho back
ground, and havo made conservative
party action impossible for long years
together. "
Investigation developed that, while
Secretary Daniels' order was a long
way from being satisfactory to a ma
jority of naval officials, it had mado
a tremendous hit with the enlisted men.
Tho latler, it became evident, havo long
resented, not so much tho denial of in
toxicants to themselves, but, the fact
that tho officers wero allowed to use
them, whilo to tho rank ami lilo they
wero strictly barred.

Elder Statesmen
are Blamed for
Misleading Ruler
Tokio, April 8. If the emperor would
soek some advisors other than the elder
statesmen, up-to-date politicians were
saying here today, there might be more
hope of oil escape from the dificultfios
in which the naval graft scandal anl
the Yamamoto administration attempt
to add to the oouetry's already crush
ing burden of taxtiton-havc Involved
him.-
It was generally agreed that, how
ever good it may be for tho eonntry,
the failure of Viscount Kiyoura, whom
the emperor had chosen to lueced re
tiring Premier Yamamoto, to get a cab
inet together was aa extremely black
eye for tho emperor. ' Beally, of course,
the elder statesmen, and not the 'em
peror selected Kiyoura, tut the, elder
statesmen are entirely an unofficial
group and the emperor must take the
responsibility.
In the past few years there has beea
general complaint that the elder states
men were out of teh with the times,
and the late emperor grow io dopend
very littlo on them. His son turned to
them at once, however, and it is the
widely expressed opinion that their ad
vice is largely responsible for the pres
ent political situation.

provoked by tho testimony offered on
Monday by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
before tho house investigating commit
tto which probed conditions in the
Colorado coal fields.
"Wo are going to maintain unions

SPAULDINQ'S DRY KILN IS

Fire, which broke out In tho dry kiln

TO SAVE KING'S LIFE

It is reported that Mrs. E. Buck, who
recently underwent aa operation here,
is getting along nicely now, bud will be
able to return to hi r homo within a
few dars, i
Even Kiyoura, unpopular as he was,
might have succeeded in getting a cabi
net together, bnt for one very startling
thing, which did not leak out nntil
after his failure had compelled him to
tell the emperor he could not retain
the post of premier.
It will be remembered that when the
Yamamoto cabinet tried to" g the neces
sary legislation for & heavy increase in
taxation as a preliminary to greatly
strengthening the navy,- violent riots
broke out, may believed the throne was
in danger and parliament, though pro
Yamamoto, in both houses, was so
badly frightened that' it rejected his
program, forcing him. oat -of office.
In spite of this the elder statesmen
evolved the scheme of having Kiyoura
get togethor a Cabinet which would
deliberately help itself to the money
it and then, after it had been spent,
ask parliament to endorse its expendi
ture end increase taxes to supply the
deficiency.
As Boon fts thin hlirhlv nnnvtat iln.

STATE CAN LEASE DAM
ATTORNEY-dENERAL'S RULING IN
'PROPOSITION INVOLVING WAL
LOWA RIVER RIGHTS.
The attorney-general handed out
opinions this morning as follows: Mas
ter Fish Warden Opsund was told that
where congress had passed an act do
nating hinds to the stato for tho pur
pose of conducting a fish hatchery, and
providing that, in case it was not so
used, it should revert to tho general
government, that tho stuto could lease
the dam, built in this case in the Wal
lowa river, to private parties so long
as tho stato continued to use tho lands
for fish hatchery purposes.
Mrs. J, A. Murray, of Rogue river,
was told that a district, school board
could, by contract, bind its successors
for tho employment of teachers.
Stato damn Warden Kvans was In
formed that birds and wild animals de
stroying property may be killed, the
state law providing for this. There is
a federnl statute protecting migratory
birds, that does not mention thin ex
ception, but the attorney-general holds
.that it would be permittod by the state
law, which in this enso would protect
those killing birds or animals under
such circumstances
O. A, Ijominen, of Mohler, was told
that a Deiiiocrmt registering as such
and writing in the name of a Kepubli
caii for any office, would simply vote
to nuininato the person voted for, as a
Democrat, and the veto could not be
counted as a veto for tho liepublican

Washington, April 8. President
Wilson was criticized by Representa
tive Mann of Illinois, the republican
floor leader, during a free-for-all dis
cussion In the house this afternoon. He
denounced the president for character
izing Representative Knowlands' re
ference to a "deal" in tho tolls matter
as , the "crowning insult."
"If the president said that," de
clared Mann, "then ho forgot his posi
tion. It is not the position of tho
chief executive to comment on debate
in tho hotiBo."
Mann also read President Wilson's
letter to James J. 0 'Byrne, in which
ho declared the election in New Jersey
would show tho judgment of the people
regarding tho administration.
0 'Byrne, however, was defeated, la
his candidacy to succeed tho Into Rep
resentative Bremner.
"And did he givo thanks," asked
Mann, "that there have been demo
crats who have placed allegiance to
their country ahead of personal bowing
to the boss tho bowing to tho will of

Mann said he did not know what ex
euso O 'Byrne had mndo, but declared
ho was still loyal to tho president, and
had siiid "to' Hades with the Demo
