Premier Lttmner Introduces Bill — Opposition Shown. Ottawa, Ont.. Jan. 12. — Premier Laur ier introduced the naval defence bill in the House to-day. The bill provides for the enrolment of a force along the lines of the state militia in the United States. The Canadian navy will be sub ject to the call of the British Admiralty. A call, however, must be ratified by the Dominion Parliament within fifteen days. The proposal was warmly combated by Mr. Borden, leader of the Opposition. He said that in view of the German menace Canada should gro no further than to make a substantial grant of money. Mr. Monk. Premier Laurier's lieutenant from Quebec, also spoke in opposition. He said that French-Ca nadians would never consent to take part in a war in the declaration of which they had no word.

[By TelPßraph to Thr Tribune. | Baltimore, Jan. 12. — That the new dis franchising amendment to be submitted tn the people by the present Democratic Legislature will be bolder and franker than either of the two which preceded it seems certain. It will have i.o "grand father" clause and no evasions, but will directly challenge the validity of the Fifteenth Amendment to the federal Con stitution by refusing the right of suf frage to negroes as such. The main ground on which it will be held that the Fifteenth Amendment is void is that it violates the guarantee of the original Constitution that no staU* shall be de prived of its representation in the United States Senate without its con gent.

Senator Brough said that the present ratio in Manhattan and The Bronx was about 1 in every 490, and that in Brook lyn the ratio was considerably lower. He declared that the provision was not drastic in that it did not destroy any existing license, providing that none could be issued except by way of re newal until the population should have increased to the point where tho ratio was established. Another provision of the bill is that hotels in the cities of the first class must have twenty-five rooms or more. LOST VOICE AGAIN. Young Woman's Second Mix fortune Due to Fire. fßy Telegraph to The Tribune.] Baltimore, Jan. 12.— Miss Kate. Riston, twenty- five years old, lost her voice for the second time last night.

Nicaragua, Jan. 12— General Chamorro telegraphs that a decisive battle will be fought at Acoyapa. His message, now made public, was sent on Monday last. At that time three thousand provisional, with twenty cannon and eight rapid fire guns, had been concentrated and were moving on the government forces in trenched at Acoyapa. Earlier reports that General Mona had oc cupied Acoyapa unopposed were erroneous, and grew out of the fact that an advance puard of four hundred provlsionals recon noitred In that vicinity. They did not enter the town. The correspondents who left for the front to-day were Informed that the expected battle would not take piace proba bly before a week or ten days. The movements of the troops culminat ing in their concentration before Acoyapa began three weeks agn, immediately after the battle of Recreo.

Rock Island Flurrt/ Brings Suspension fo T:co Mem bers of Firm. The governing committee of the New York Stock Exchange suspended Simeon B. Chapin, head of the house of S. B. ("hapin & Co., yesterday, for sixty days, and Frederick D. Countiss, the other board member of the firm, for thirty days. In the announcement of the sus pensions n<> reference was made to the offence of which the two members were found guilty, and not ever the clause of the constitution under which the pen alties were imposed was specified. In accordance with the custom of the Stock Kxchange management for the last two years or so, formal announcement of the governing committee's findings and ac lion will be made at the opening of the exchange this morning. It is an open secret that the disci plinary measures taken were an outcome of the extraordinary movement in Rock Island common stock on the morning of Monday, December 127, and that the firm the two board members of which have been suspended was tho hoi#e which re ceived the order from one of the best known large market operators for the purchase of about forty thousand shares of that stock, and distributed buying or ders for two thousand shares each among about twenty other houses or brokers. The effect of the simultaneous effort on the part of these brokers to execute their orders for the purchase of Rock Island common was to send the price up about thirty points within ten minutes, in the absence of any counterbalancing selling orders, and when it was realized that the first impression that an attempt was being made to work a corner in this stock, of which $90,000,000 is outstand ing, could not by any possibility be cor rect, the price shot downward as many points as it had risen, and even more rapidly. GENERAL EFFECT OF FLURRY. The general market was thrown into disorder by the erratic movement of Rock Island common, most of the active Issues declining several points each, and losses were suffered also in Rock Island common by others than the man whose hig buying order had caused the trouble, as their orders to buy "at the market' on Monday morning were, in various cases, executed many points above the level at which they might reasonably have expected to acquire the stock, and many points higher than it has ruled since the first few minutes of business on December 27. The governing committee, at us regu lar meeting shortly after the occurrence, appointed a special committee to make a thorough inquiry into the facts. This committee, which was composed of Ernest Groesbeck. Francis L. Eames and .1. T. Atterbury. submitted its report within a short time, and since then the governing committee has had the sub ject under careful consideration. Strong influences have been brought to bear upon the governing committee, it is un derstood, in behalf of S. B. Chapin & Cc, their friends urging that they should be held guiltless of any offence, as the part taken by them was not in viola tion of any rule of the exchange and was a customary proceeding. The governing- committee, however, it was learned several days ago, felt that it was necessary to take such action as would deter other houses from accepting orders similar to that of the Chapin firm's customers, the natural result of ihe execution of which might have been expected to be that which was seen on ihe morning of December 27, which caused a great amount of public crit icism of the methods of trading permit ted on the Stock Exchange. It is understood that the suspensions ordered in the case of the members of the Chapin firm have been decreed under Section 8 of Article 17 of the constitu tion, which authorizes the governing committee, by a majority vote, to sus pend for a period not exceeding one year any member who may be adjudged gti'lty of any act "detrimental to the in terest or welfare of the exchange." Sec tion 6 of the same article also may cover the case, this section providing suspen sion or expulsion as the penalty for wil ful violation of the constitution or of any resolution, or for "any conduct or proceeding inconsistent with just and equitable principles of trade." HISTORY OF THE COMPANY. The firm of S. B. Chapin & Co. is composed of Simeon B. Chapin, Fred erick D. Countiss, Tnicy L. Turner, Will iam Ewald, Ira J. Couch and Oliver P. Cooke. Its offices are at No. 11l Broad way, and are those formerly occupied by the firm of Charles Q. Gates & Co., which went out of business in the spring of 1907. Prior to its occupancy of these of fices the Chapin firm was at No. 10 Wall street, and before that at No. 71 Broad way. The firm has two branch offices in Chicago, where Mr. Countiss makes his headquarters. The latter has been a member of the New York Stock Exchange since August 13, 190 S. Mr. Chapin was elected a member of the exchange on December 1»;. 1N97, being then a member of the firm of Chapin * Uaylor, of Chicago, in which Mr. Countiss was also a partner.

NEW U.S. FORESTER PRESIDE XT ( lIOOSES HENRY S. GRAVES. Head of Vale Forestry/ School Succeeds Pinchot — A. F. Potter Assistant, [From Th" Trihune Bureau. 1 Washington, Jan. I:.'.— President Taft this afternoon appointed Henry S. Graves, director of the Yale Forestry School, chief Forester of the United States, to succeed Gifford Pinchot. Mr. Graves was assistant chief of the Bu reau of Forestry under Mr. Pinchot from 1898 to 1!H>O. Sin^e MM he has held his present post at Yale. He was graduated from Yale University in 18U"J. Hi has been trained in forestry in this country and by study in Europe. He has had extensive experience in Urn Western for est?, having made the reconnoissance forest survey of the Bla^k Hills in ISO 7. He will begin his duties as Forester on February 1. President Taft also appointed as As sistant Forester Albert F. Potter, a native of California, -who spent most of his life in the West until he became a member of the forestry staff. He has been eight or nine years in the forestry department, his specialty having been the grazing of t forest lands. He is well acquainted with Western conditions and well informed with regard to all the pol icies and practices of the Forest Ser vice. The appointment of Mr. Graves is re garded here as ample evidence of the sincerity of the President in his de termination that there shall be no back ward step in the prosecution of the for estry policy of the government. It is also said that the acceptance of the place of Forester by Mr. Graves proves that the sincere friends of forestry do not believe Mr. Pinchot has been badly treated by this administration. It was largely through Mr. Pini-hot's efforts that the Yale Forestry School was estab lished, and Mr. Graves obtained his place there through the Forester's influence. New Haven, Jan. 11.—T he selection of Professor Graves, head of the Yale For estry* School, who holds the Pinchot pro fessorship of forestry, to be Chief For ester in place of Mt. Pinchot did not surprise the Yale authorities who knew of the calling of Mr. Graves to Washing ton. It was said at the office of the sec retary of the university that no state ment as to a successor to Professor Graves would be made until after the corporation's meeting to-morrow. It Sf-ems likely that a temporary head of the forestry school will be chosen, as the students in that department are BOW. in the midst of their laboratory and techni cal work in preparation for taking up field work at Milford. Perm., and else where in the early spring. Professor Tourney may be selected fo* the place temporarily. President Arthur T. Hadley. when told of the appointment of Mr. Graves, said: "I consider the appointment a most ex cellent one. Mr. Graves has a full knowledge of forestry, and is a clear headed business man." To-morrow's corporation meeting is expected to be of exceptional interest, as a university treasurer is to be named as a successor to Mr M. clung, who re signed to become United States Treas urer.

Croud Cheer* Daring French* man Madly After Dramatic Fligh t. at Los A ngeles. Los Angeles, Jan. 1*. — Louis Pa /'-in. the French aviator, broke all official and unofficial records for altitude In a Far man biplane to-day by flying to a height of 4.146 feet and descending safely. H* remained 50 minutes 4S „ seconds In the air Cortlandt Field Bishop announced late to-night that the Judges of the aviation events had calculated the height of Paulhan's flight at 4.14« feet. The««» figures stand officially as the record. Paulhan's barometer showed his high est altitude as 4,600 feet and the judges at first figured close to 5.000 feet, but after extensive calculations from trian gulations made and observations taken this was reduced to 4.14« feet. The pre vious record was 3.600 feet. Paulhan consumed 7 minutes and 30 seconds In making his descent from th« perilous height. Paulhan h the HM «f the crowd to night. He made, his r^ urd shortly after losing the speed record of the '-ourse to Glenn H. i 'urtiss. The Frenchman, using an engine that had Just arrived from Pans had been on the course all the afternoon. H« had • ircled the course again and again, skid ding and dipping and swinging corners in that daring fashion that makes his wife shiver with fright. The sun was low t'-ward the s«a and the shal.v- .j begun to gather when Paulhan decided to g'> higher in the air than any man In a heavier than air ma chine had ever flown. The wind barely stirred. Cortlandt Field Bishop, president of the Aero Clnb of America, stood in front of the judges* stand, enthusiastic over the scene. OFF OX RECORD FLIGHT. As Paulhan rose in the air ho bent low his gray capped head and smiled as he made a short circle over the fifty thou sand spectators. Curtiss had previously tried the higher currents and come down. Paulhan pointed north, went up a thousand feet, passed over the centre of the field again, as though to take an other last look at a human face, then turned north and up again. The crowd grew breathlessly intent as the Frenchman and his machine rapidly became a speck in the gathering twi light. At a height of 1.300 feet Paulhan de scribed a great circle to feel the cur rents. By this time he was a mile and a half from camp. When word spread that he had beaten Hubert Latham's record of I,SCO feet the vast throng be came frantic. Two thousand feet and still climblngi No one would have been surprised if th^ man and his little wings had been swal lowed up in the void. After the aviator was as near out of sight as he could be without disappearing Paulhan began to descend, much to the relief of the spec tators. He came down easily in front of th<» grandstand after having risen to the plane of the mountain peaks. A=; b + leaped from his machine, cheeks glowing and eyes Mashing, he was grasped by his friends and carried to the grand stand, where he bared his head amid a thunder of cheers. Paulhan gave the crowd another tr^at earlier in the afternoon. The balloon Xew York, which had ascended from Huntington Park, came drifting toward Aviation Camp. In it was Mm?. Paul han. among other guests. When th« Frenchman caught sight of it he sprang to his Farman machine, snapped out in structions to his helpers and in a flash darted off. HAII.S WIFE IX BALL' ■ \ Rising in a wide circle to a height nf firtO feet. Paulhan sailed a mile or more over the adjacent fields and appr^^ch-i close enough to the New York to hall his Wife Then he swept back to earth, paying his respects to Beachey and Knabenshue. whose dirigibles he passed in descending.
