Jan. ?f). j -Ex-President Taft concluded tonight I a note worthy series ot lectures at the University ot Virginia. After dis- j cussing the limitations of the execu tive power, so far as it ls possible | to limit auch a power consistent with that discretion and promptness of ac tion that aro essential to preserve the interests ot the public in time ot emer gency or legislative neglect or inac tion, he Bald:.' - "There la little danger to the public weal from the tyranny of reckless and < despotic character of a president who is not sustained by the people.'

REPRESENTATIVE HOBSON MAKES FINAL, APPEAL FOR LARGER NAVY WANTS MORE MEN AND MORE SHIPS Declares Wilson and Bryan Are the Greatest Obstacles to Na tional Defense. (By Auoriated PIM*) WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-In a final appeal in the house tonight lor a larg er aavy. Representative Hobson of Alabama, declared it was hts firm conviction that the United States had secured peace with Japan only by Hiv ing assurances of speedy retirement from tho Philippines. In a part of his speech which went into the record, but was not actually delivered, he. said he believed that when the American fleet went around the world during the Roosevelt administration, it was al lowed to go to Japan only on the as surance that it would be out of the Pacific ocean by a fixed time. ' Formal denial by Secretary Bryan that the administration's Philippine policy had been in any way affected by negotiations with Japan ar that the subject had been, discussed here or In Tokio, was quoted by Mr. Hobson witb tho remark that this did bot change bia belief, as be would expect the sec retary to *eny lt. "I am further convinced," Mr. Hob son continued, "that our first Inquiry into the intentions of Japan in Belzlng Kiachow :xd the islands in the Pacific will not he followed up, &?. least by this administration, and that Japan, aa it pi.-ic O? pente, Wu! .vc ^iVeu o ff Cu band Ja China with the prospect of the. goods alone felt off tiver 820,000,000 ic Manchuria after. Japanese occupation, will be at the mercy of a competitor; while the overthrow of the balance of power .in the Pacific would lead to an inevitable war." Renreaentatlve Hobson sa'd that he had felt for some time that the fleet never would go to the Pacific under the present administration. He re viewed ike citaatlca lu 2?i.rcps< e ferring to criticisms cf America's con duct in the war and to "arbitrary treatment ot American ships," and de clared the situation closely paralleled the condition whtch led to the war with France tn 1800 and to that with England la 1812. . ' This situation. Mr. Hobson Insist ed, proved the imperative necessity of strengthening the American navy far beyond the point now contemplated. He compared the navy with the sea forcea of foreign por era, and appeal ed for more men and more ships. Representative Hobson declared in the course of the debate that Presi dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan were the greatest obstacles to nation-, al defense. In a reply to Mr. Hobion. .Represen tative Williams, ot Illinois, insisted that war from any aide was but a re mote possibility.
