The president has his mind set on ac- complishing something in connection with alterations In this law, and while his pol- iy 1s not to faterfere with the work of congress, he will use every reasonable influence to make the laws overning transportation stronger in thelr control over the raflroads and in their benefits to the shipping pub'lc and masses. Senator Elkina today remeed his sug- | gestions that the best way to encourage | Amorican shipping would be to enact a {law glving a reduction of 5 per cent in customs dutles on all imported goods | brought Into the United States in Amer- fcan bottoms. “This would not only bulld up Amer- fcan shipping, but would be a reduction | downward in duties,” said Senator Elkins.

This information is embodied in telegrams more or le ayed In (ransmission which have been recelved at the State department from the consulate representatives of the United States in ragua. . The first telogram, dated Managua, states that Leroy Cannon was captured on Oetos ber 21, and Leonard Groce on November 2. They were exccuted November 12, and no news reached the department of the execus tion under the 17th. Members of the Red Cross arriving from Castillo state that Canuon and Groce were captured while they were lost on the banks of the San Juan river and that the captain of a ship called them, prowmlsing not to harm them.

All the reforms #0 into effect December 1 excent the #bolishing of the bureau of equ t, which congress alone can do, The aide for operations of the flest will be Rear Ad- miral Richard Wainwright, commander of the third division of the Atantic’ fleet. The aide for personnel will be Rear Ad- miral W. P. Potter, now chief of the bureau of navigation. The alde for ma- terial will be Rear Admiral Willlam Swift, commandant of the Boston navy yard. The aide for inspection will be Captatn Aaron Ward, recently supervisor of the New ¥ork harbor, who will become a rear admiral on January 9. Captain Regi- nald F. Nicholson, a member of the board of inspection and survey, will be made ohief of the bureau of navigation, vice Potter. Too Much Contusion. When Mr. Moyer assumed office he found some confusion in the department and In the navy yards, due to changes Instituted by Seeretary Newberry a few weeks before the close of his administration. Steps were taken to ascertain how far it was de- sirable to follow the reforms outlined by Secretary Newberry. The Sperry board was created to report how the various conflict- ing orders and regulations could be recon- clied best. Then came the Leutze board, which was asked to make recommend: tions concerning the consolidation of the burcau of steam engineering with other bureaus, & Step undertaken by Secretary Newberry. Finally Becretary Meyer ap- polnted the Swift board to consider the reports of the other board and to make recommendations for the {mrpovement of the business methods of the department. With these reports as a basis Secretary Meyer has evolved his reform. The secretary found that the bureaus of the department were Independent of each other and that he must déclde all differ- ences between them. The aldes are to advise him on these points. “It the secretary seeks advice from indi- vidual officers in whom he has confidence but who have no definite relation to the organization of the Navy department,” sald Mr. Meyer today in explaining his reforms, “he gets advice which may be §00d, but which 1s not responsible. Such recoutfie to individuals moreover gives no assurance of continuity of policy nor re- sponsibility. One Board Abolished. According to the Meyer plan the board of struetion becomes useless and will be abolished. This board was created prin- cipally to supervise ship designing and to deeido questions In dispute between the bureaus when thelr duties overlapped or when one wished to procure more space or welght for its purposes in & ship's design. Under the Meyer plan the operating branch vhieh deals directly with the military use of the fleet will originate the military f t of mew construction in consultation with the general board, of which the new @ido for operations will be a member. Other officers will also be called in for advice wud erltlclsm before and after the sketch plans have been considered by the bureaus. These officers will be selected because of pronounced success in ordnance, engineer- ing or torpedo practical work. The bureaus Wil be calied upon finally to prepare the sctual plans and will be responsible for thelr gorrectness. With the growth of the business of the department Secretary Meyer found that dutles similar to those of the equipment ( buréau were performed by the bureau of | supplles and accounts, construction and re- pair, and, by sieam engineering. In this connection it is (0 be noted that Rear Ad- wiral W, 8 Cowles s now the h th bureau ad of 1 Menutacturing, the secretary has decided * manufacturing depart- Secretary Newberry oBe for machinery and Uiidex to diy @ me “ a ') into two divisions, !

Ing men will soon be permitted to ride freight trains, as of yore, and their kick to the rallway commission will bear frult before the formal hearing, which has been set for December 1L General Solicitor J. E. Kelby of the Burington was at Lincoln today in the matter of the complaint and when the board set the hearing for the December date, he sald before that time the Burlington would put back the old rule and the commercial men might ride frelghts as before Jt they desired. The recent rule of the road prohibiting passenger traffic on some of the freights caused a big protest from the drummers, who were often compelied to make their towns on these trains and otherwise would be put to great delay and much extra expense. They today sent to the com- mission a formal petition and embodied in their complaint an offer to pay # & year extra to the raliroad for the privilege of riding on the desired trains. Now, ac- cording to Mr. Kelby, this will be un- necessary and if the road does as he ys, the protest will be dropped, for by the time of the hearing there will be no cause for further objection. Goverpor’s Power is Exaggerated Under Sackett Law He Can Only Cer- tify Cases of Neglect of Duty to Attorney General. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 20.—(Special.)—From the tone of the letters being recelved by Gov- ernor Shallenberger asking him to remove Mayor Dahlman and the members of the Omaha pojice board It is very evident that the writers have an exaggerated ldea of the governor's authority In the case now pending. The governor cannot remove Mayor Dahlman, o it was sald in the executive office today and nelther ean he remove the police board. It is the duty of the governor under the charges filed, should it be shown that the mayor and police board have neglected to enforce the law, willfully and negligently, to simply certify that fact to the attorney general and authorize him to bring quo warranto proceedings to oust them. Then it Will be a matter for the courts to decide. In the meantime the governor has been informed that the first two cases brought by the Anti-Saloon league against saloon keepers of Omaha falled and the liquor dealers were dlscharged. Barry Goes to Oalifornia. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Major General Thomas H. Barry was today ordered to proceed to San Francisco and assume com- mand of the department of California. gress were urged upon President Taft today by a delegation of labor leaders headed by Samuel Gompers. John Mitch- ell, James O'Connell and Frank Morrison accompanied Mr. Gompers to the White House. Foremost of the subjects considered was the Issuance of Injunctions by federal Judges, particularly as they app.y to per- sonal liberty and their use in the sett ment of disputes between employors and employes. y The exemption of labor «organizations trom certain provisions of the Sherman anti-trust act was also dlscussed. The president has practically decided that his message to congress will make no recommendations rogarding the Sher- man act. His decision, which {s a decided change from his Intentions of a few weeks ago, s largely based upon the fact that there are pending in the supreme court and on thelr way to that tribunal & number of mportant cases invo'ving in- terpretation of the act. He feels, he tays, that specific recom- mendations from him at this time might be construed as an attempt to Influence the court. SIDNEY C.
