The administration will make the
defense bills party measures and the!
prime business before the coming ses-
miin. The house rules committee is ex
pected to rush their consideration and
ull the influence of tho administration
will be toward gtting them through as
expeditiously and smoothly as possible.
.It is stated that President Wilson
intends to stand or fall on his national
defense program. It will be the issue
of the coming national campaign. When
the president announces his stand

"dead as a mackerei" as a campaign
iHsue. He will stand for making con
cessions "deemed necessary" in a re
adjustment of the tariff.
Those closest to him are making
utronger their assertion that the rev
enue is needed, and President Wilson
will stand ready, with an own mind ou
the tariff question to receive sugges
tions for changes which the Kuropeau
war necessitates.

Five Dollar Gold Pieces So
Perfect As To Almost
Defy Detection .
2 FORMER CONDUCTORS
ON S. P. UNDER ARREST
Coins Hare Been Floated For
Years AH Over the Pacific
Coast
San Francisco, Oct.. 1(1. Two men,
believed to be tho famous "five dollar
gold piece counterfeiters" who have
engraved permanent furrows on the
brows of Huited States secret service
men all over the country for the past
two years, are under arrest.
It is estimated they hnve floated
more than $800,000 worth of bogus coin
all over the nntion during, that time.
They are: Rollie York, 344 Pernlta
avenue, Ouklund; Fdward Carr, 1204
Poplar street, Oakland.
Thoy have been trailed all over this
country and Canada, and finnllv'were
arrested by Secret 8-irvice Chief Harry
Mortit of the local oltice and Charles
Poster of the Seattle office. York was
taken at Columbus, Ohio, and Carr at
Ogdcn, Utah. Their arrests were kept
secret until today. Chief Muff it and
a deputy marshal from Columbus will
arrive here withMlw men tonight.
Secret indictments against both were
found by the' local ederal grand jury
six weeks ago, foil wing thoir escape
from the Stockton Jjpohce about two
months ago. They were let go bv the
Stockton police after giving a plausible
story. l'Vllowing their escape, a leather
bag containing $700 in spurious coins
was found in tho lavatory of iion.iens
cafe, Stockton, where the men had been
arrested.
Directly they left Stockton, the
police there informed the secret serv
ice men here who determined that tho
men were the long sought counter
feitern.
Both York and Carr are former con
doctors in tho employ of the Southern
Pacific, railroad. i
The coins have been floated all over
tho Pacific, coast for years, and many
have been picked up ai far east as
New York. Secret Bervice men ill every
district of the country have been work
ing ou the ease, under directions from
Moffit. His place during his absence
hern has been taken by W. P. Walsh of
tho I.os Angeles ufflce.
Escaped Officers Are
Not Yet Discovered
Norfolk, Vn., Oct. 10, The six war
rant officers of the interned Merman
raider Kroiiprin. Wilhclm, missing
since Sunday, have made a clean get
away in their decrepit yacht the
Kclipso, authorities were convinced to
day. Following the attempt of five
others since then to escape, more dras
tic, confinement of men aboard both
the Kroiiprin. and the Prints Kitel
Friedrich wns ordered.
Officials here inclined to believe that
a number of the Hermans hnd cunspircd
to escape, and hence, there was some
talk that a guard of marines might
have to be placed aboard.
If the F.clipse put not to sea, us it is
now believed she did, sho could hnve
reached Florida by today. Authori
ties, however, had no trace of her.
