BURT, THE FORMER PRESID RAILROAD, WHO IS FAVORED BY HEAD OF THE PROPOSED NEW FANAMA C. —pe OF THE UNION PACIFIC | DENT ROOSEVELT FOR THE | AL BOARD, WASHINGTON, March 21.—Ques- tions relating to the isthmian canal end the reorganization of the Canal Commission occupied much of the at- tention of the Cabinet at to-day's meeting. No definite announcement was made at the conclusion of the meeting regarding the canal questions beyond that a statement on the de- reached will be made prior to sident’s departure on his South- trip. It is stated that the name of Horace G. Burt, former presi- dent of the Union Pacific Railroad, is under consideration for the position ctl executive head of the commission, but it h will accept the place. His appointment would interfere in no respect with the retention head of the engineering work of the present chief engineer, Wallace, who, a ed by probably two other engi- , will have control of the practi- 1 engineering of the canal construc- tion. It is the desire of the President and of RSecretary Taft to make Burt the business head of the canal organi- zation an organization as ke would require to accomplish the great work he would | undertake as the head of the commis- sion. His salary, it is intimated, will not exceed $25,000 a year. Some details of the reorganization of the commission remain yet to be | werked out. It has not been determined ~finitely anthorit Comn cided t whether the President has to reduce the number of the oners. but if it should be de- t_he has, the number will be reduced. It is said to be not unlikely that Willlam Barclay Parsons and William H. Burr, two of the engineers now members of the commission, will be retained as assistants to Engineer Wallace. In cther respects the com- mission’s personnel will be changed en- tirely. e JOKER IN AN ORDINANCE AIMED AT A RAILROAD Chicago Company’s Position Sabstan- tially Improved Instead of Being Damaged. CHICAGO, March 21.—Careful analy- sis to-day of the ordinance depriving the City Railway Company of any franchise rights to the streets of Chi- cago appears to show that the com- pany’s position, instead of being dam- aged, is substantially improved. The { ordinance contains a clause that the -re s probably no remedy so uni- | Stuart’s Tablets as regularly as they | take their meals, because they want to keep well, prevention is better than cure, and Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent indigestion and they remove it where it exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate theif merit and efficiency better than any other argu- ment. 'CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

NEW YORK, March 21.—Funeral services over the ashes of Edward O. Wolcott, former United States Senator from Colorado, who died in Monte Carlo and was cremated, were held in the Brick Presbyterian Church to- day.

L. Bristow, who has come to thel Pacific Coast to get all the information | available concerning this subject of en- | grossing public interest. Cammlsskmerf Bristow counseled with the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon, and a plan was arranged | | to induce the attendance of commercial | { men of the city, representatives of com- | mercial bodies and others of promin- jence who have facilities for learning | about commercial problems. A call for |a meeting was issued. | A committee of the Chamber of Com- | merce was appointed to facilitate the | work of Commissioner Bristow by | bringing together as large and repre- | | sentative an assemblage of commercial | men as possible. The transportation companies that move freight and pas- sengers by rail or by sea will also be | asked to make presentation of facts.

A warrant was sworn to before Po- lice Judge Fritz yesterday afternoon by Miss Edna Ione Hagler of the Dea- coness Home of the Methodist Epis- | copal Church, 129 Haight street, for the arrest of Kenneth Duncan on a charge of burglary. He is accused of breaking into her room on January | 13 and stealing a diamond locket and gold watch. Duncan was at one time a respected clergyman. He fell a vic- { time to drink, and one Sunday morn- ing when he appeared in the pulpit considerably under the iafiusnce of liquor a scandal ensued and he was expelled by the presbytery.

This move on the part of Premier Balfour is the political sensation of the hour and is being hailed with great joy by free traders, who claim that it is a definite desertion of Chamberlain by his former Cabinet assotiates. BRITAIN NEEDS | GREATER NAVY Viscount Goschen Says the Two-Power Standard Is No Longer Applicable LONDON, March 21.—In the House penditure was lengthily discussed on | the call of the Liberal leader, Earl | Spencer, for papers regarding the naval programme. He said he did not desire to condemn the Government, but he wanted an explanation of the plans | involving the withdrawal of such a| large number of vessels from the list | of vessels which could be commissioned for active service and the reasons for the increased expenditure since 1894- 1905. Viscount Goschen justified the vast increase in the last fifteen years. He said the two-power standard was no longer applicable. One thing had been strongly brought out by the Russo- Japanese war—namely, the difficulties which might arise with neutrals, and the necessity of maintaining an atti- tude of dignity and power thereto. Viscount Goschen said he did not think there was any harm in discussing these questions: Chanceilor von Bulow wae verv candid occasionally in re- gard to European politics, Continuing, Viscount Goschen said when any pow- er with twelve battleships was ready within 100 miles of the English coast, that was_ the power which must be considered side by side with prepara- tions to meet any two powers with whom Great Britain might have to deal. Referring to the loss of Russian war- ships, Viscount Goschen said it was simply a question of Russia giving orders to great establishments outside of Russia for a renewal of her navy. He did not think the fact that Russia had lost five battleships was a circum- stance sufficient to justify the arrest of Great Britain’s ship building pro- gramme. The First Lord of the Admiralty, the Earl of Selborne, said the increased ex- penditure was due to the fact that the whole naval aspect of the world, East and West, had changed. Within the past_thirteen years new navies had sprung up. Russia had recently suf- fered great losses, but the fleet of come Into existence; America and Germany had evolved navies of equal strength and efficiency, tained its eficiency. Great Britain was not forcing the pace in ship building, but was merely taking into account what other nations were doing and a two and possibly three power standard must be maintained. Lord Selborne, in concluding, pointed out that in the West Indies the whole naval strategical situation had under- gone a complete revolution since the Carnarvon Commission sat, owing to the birth of the American navy. At Lord Selborne’s request Lord Spencer withdrew his motion for pa- pers. —— O eat——— NOT AFRAID OF NEW LAW. Trading Stamp Company Still in the " were ever put on trial again she would E | Patterson and her | partner had left the track. Ring—Declares Law to Be ‘Unconstitutional. It is quite evident that if die they! must the trading stamp promoters are to die hard. According to Mr. H. R. Fee, who repre- sents the leading trading stamp concern, his company stands ready to protect its patrons now and at all times and pro- poses to fight the law just signed by the Governor, and establish its right to is- sue and the merchants’ right to use the stamps. He says that in twenty-five States similar laws have already been declared unconstitutional ~and the California measure cannot stand. So far as his own company is con- cerned Mr. Fee states that 25 carloads of premiums for the redemption of trad- ing stamps are en route to the coast, and holders of stamps have no cause for worry. The circular of the Merchants’ Association to retail dealers in the city was published in full in yesterday morn- ing’s Call. It invites their attention to the new law and their adherence to its provisions. terson, who has been in the Tombs since last June, charged with the mur- ! der of “Caesar” Young, the California bookmaker, declared to-day that if she surely be acquitted. She said this| after a conference with her lawyer, | Daniel O'Reilly, who had told her of new evidence discovered, which, in his opinion, tended to show that Young committed suicide. According to O'Reilly the defense will be able to prove these facts, not brought out at the first trial: ¢ | First—That “Caesar” Young was the owner of a 32-caliber revolver. Second—That he had such a revolver in his possession on June 3 while at the Sheepshead Bay racetrack. The al- leged murder occurred on June 4. Third—That ‘“‘Caesar” Young, on the afternoon of June 3 took a pistol away from his wife. Fourth—That Mrs. 32-caliber revolver. Fifth—That in Young owned a “Caesar” Young's ! trunk, sent to England on the morn- ing of the shooting and afterward re- turned to this country, were found a large number of 32-caliber revolver cartridges. Besides this, O'Reilly says that new witnesses have been found who will swear that J. Morgan Smith, “Nan” sister left the Sheepshead Bay racetrack on the very last traln and after Young's racing “If ‘Nan' Patterson is ever placed on trial again—and I have very serious doubts that she will be,” said O'Reilly, “‘we shall be able to prove, even to the satisfaction of Rand, the Assistant District Attorney, that Young commit- ted suicide. ‘Nan’ never had this pistol in her possession. It was Young's re- volver and he had it not only that morning when he went to meet her, but also the day before.” At the District Attorney’s office to- day it was not denied that Mrs. Young owned a 32-caliber revolver. o WANT NO GOLD FROM 0L KING Congregational ~ Ministers 1 Oppose Acceptance of Big | Gift From Rockefeller | I BOSTON, March ¢ —Congregational ministers representing Boston | and | various sections of New England have forwarded to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions a protest against the acceptance by the board of a gift of $100,000 from John D. Rockefeller. The petition, which was prepared by- a committee chosen at a meeting of the clergymen, protests against the acgeptance of the | gift on the ground that the Standard Oil Company, of which Rockefeller is the head, ‘“stands before the public under repeated and recent formidable indictments in specific terms for methods which are morally iniquitous | and socially destructive,” and that “the | acceptance of such a gift involves the | constituents of the board in a relation | implying honor toward the donor and | subjects the board to the charge of | ignoring the mora! issues involved.” In conclusion, the protest says: ‘We, the undersigned, therefore protest | against the action by which our church may | even seem to be compromised and we plead | with the officers of the board to decline the it or to return it If it has been accepted. Among the signers are Daniel Evans, Cambridge; Edward F- Sanderson, Providence, R. L; George N. Gutter- sin, Derry, N. H.; N. Vanderpyl, Marblehead, Mass.; Reuben Thomas, Brookline, and James S. Williamson, Haverhill. ————— DENVER WOMAN WEDS FOR THE EIGHTH TIME | TR | Two Husbands Dead and Five Di- vorced, She Again Yields to Cupld.

United Cigar Slores Co. Largest Cigar Reclailers in the World EXTENDS CIVIL SERVICE RULES President Roosevelt Will Not Remove Postmasters Here- after Except for Cause B 1) e Speglal Dispatch to The Call CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, March 21.—There is consternation in Congressional ranks over the announcement of a policy in the Postoffice Department which is to the effect that during the present ad- ministration there will be no removals of postmasters of the Presidential class from office except for cause. In effect, this policy, which emanated from the White House, will be to put Presidential postmasters under civil service: Inasmuch as they have been in the past a source of political trading by members of Cengress, the policy is not meeting with favor from that source. This move is in_accord with the gen- eral policy of the administration to ex- tend the civil service rules over as much of the Government service as possible. ————— DESPERADO CAPTURED AFTER PISTOL BATTLE Chicago Police Saucceed in Rounding Up a Man Wanted for Marder. CHICAGO, March 21.—After a rifle and revolver battle, in which one man was wounded, a band of policemen has succeeded in capturing John Nad- olski, later identified as one of the three bandits wanted for the murder of Fritz Krueger in the hold-up_of Abraham Rieger’s saloon early Sun- day morning. The capture was made in a lonely spot near Frank Papielenski’'s farm- house between the towns of Jefferson and Niles, where the three bandits had sought refuge. The owner of the place was arrested with his 19-year- old daughter. His son, Frank Papie- lenski Jr., escaped after he had been shot in the back of the head by the police. CARRYING 0UT COMBES’ PRLICY Test Votes in French Cham- ber of Deputies Indicate Suecess of Rouvier’s Plans —_— PARIS, March 21L.—The Chamber of Deputies to-day began the debate onm the Government’s bill providing for the separation of church and State. A large crowd wds present and Intense interest was shown In the proceedings. The debate began with the motion of Georges Berry (Conservative) deferring the subject until after the general elec- tions of 1906, and the motion of the Abbe Gayraud (Catholic Republican) to refer the question to a parliamentary question commission. Berry's motion was defeated by 343 to 40 votes and by a vote of 336 to 162 | the chamber decided not to accept Abbe Gayraud’'s motion. Abbe Gayraud cogtended that the suppression of the budget of public worship amounted to robbery. It was, he said, a breach of the 1739 engage- ment. The courts could compel Cath- olics to submit to the law, but they would never recognize its justice. If the gauntlet were thrown down to the church it would be picked up. ———————— PREPARE TO BEGIN TilIAL OF KIRKMAN New Charges Against Captain Involve Breach of Arrest While in Nomi- nal Custody.
