Former United States Senator
Defies Governor-Elect of
New Jerscv.
m
TRENTON, N. J., Doc. 8. Woodrow
Wilson, governor-elect of Now Jersey,
gave out a signed statement tonight, de
claring himself lor the election of James
10. Martine (Democrat) of Uijion countv
to the United States senate to succeed
John Kcan. Jr.
Dr. Wilson, in equally positive terms,
declares himself opposed to tho election
of ex.-United States Senator James Smith,
Jr. For some time the governor-elect lias
been conferring with Democratic num
bers of the legislature and urging upon
them the wisdom of electing Mi. Mar
line. Hr. Wilson refrained from making any
public statement until now, hoping Mr.
Snilih would announce his retirement
from the llrld. 11c called upon Mr. Smith
ut his homo in Newark Tuesday night
and urged him to rellre. hut It Is under
stood -Mr. Smith declined to do so.
Realizing the delicacy of the situation,
Dr. Wilson nays he speaks us the "po
litical spokesman and adviser of the peo
ple." "I know that the people of the state
do not desire James Smith. Jr.. to be nent.
again to the senate. If he should be. he
will not go as Ihcir representative. The
only means I have of knowing whom they
do desire lo represent thorn Is the vote
at the recent primaries, where 46.0U0
Democratic voters, a majority of the
whole number who voted at the primar
ies, declared their preference for Mr.
Marline.
"For me, that vote Is conclusive. I
think It should be for overy member of

OLD CHINA DIES
AT ENBJF YEAR
Ancient Regime Followed by
Mancbu Dynasty Will Be
Terminated.
CELESTIAL NATION AWAKE; !
DETERMINED TO BE MODERN
Teeming Millions of Yellow Men
to Be Taught Ways of
Occident.
PEKING, Doc. S. It seems safe to an
nounce tonight that the ancient absolute
regime in China will exist only historic
ally after the Chinese new year In Janu
ary, 1911. It is stated that the throne
has decided to accede to the resolution
of the imperial senate praying for tho
Immediate creation of a constitutional
cabinet.
Political events in China have moved
with a rapidity that appears almost revo
lutionary when It is considered that the
provincial assemblies representing the
first step toward popular government in
tho empire's -history of thousands of
vears were inaugurated so recently as
October M, 1909.
Want Popular Government.
The first imperial senate met on Oc
tober :i last. The late empress dowager
had decreed that a general representa
tive body to be known as the Imperial
parliament be convoked In 1315, at the
end of a nine-year period of preparation.
However, tho people, having had a taste
of popular government, were Impatient,
and the senate soon after It was organ
ized demanded the Immediate convocation
of a general parliament.
The throne and grand council yielded
lo the oxtenl. of advancing the date for
the inauguration of parliament lo 191:5,
a decree making this effective being pro
mulgated on Novembor 1.
It was at first thought that the son
ale, one-half of the membership of which
was appointed by the throne, would be
subservient, but early In its existence it
developed a striking Independence and
exhibited a spirit that was almost rebel
lious. Mean Real Business,
When, a few weeks ago, this attitude
was changed notably, the general beliof
wus that the body had been Intimidated.
An .increased number of troop3 In Hie
streets was mistaken as an evidence of
the government's determination to sup
press the activities of tho provincial dele
gates and their supporters.
It appears that now that theso and
others who urged a still earlier meeting
of parliament had no Intention of aban
doning their campaign, but simply altered
their tactics and embarked upon a plan
of private though undoubtedly forceful
persuasion.
"SALOME" CREATES BIG
SENSATION IN LONDON
LONDON" Dec. 1). No other operatic
event remonibc-red in London excited such
a sensation as tin- first performance of

sented to Us rendition by the Buechatn
company only on condition that John
the Uaptlst's head should not be exhib
ited and that oilier expurgations should

PIMOI IS PLAN
i corapii
Former Forester Snggests Com
promise Measure to Protect
Power Sites.
WAS11 1 N.GTOjS Doc. 8. A plan is
being cousidcred by tlio National Con
servation association, oi which Clifford
Pinchot is president;, to brin together
tho advocates of federal regulation of
water power sites aud those who stand
for state control, accordine to an
nouncement made today by tho execu
tive committee of the association.
The object of tho plan, which was
grafted by Phil P. Wells, formerly law
officer oC the forest service, is to afford
"a power platform on which both sidos
of tho water power controverS3' may
unite to protect the public interest nnd
nt the same time encourage the devel
opment of many millions of horsepower
now going to waste- in tho mountain
streams of the far west and the great
rivers of the central aud eastern parts
of tho country."
The proposbd plan has been laid be
fore a number of engineers of wide ex
perience in water power development
as well as various officers and managers
of hydro-electric power companies and
is said to have met with their approval.
The basis of the plan is development
"without delay, waste or the sacrifice
of other and higher uses of llowing
waters."
For this, tlio plan declares, private
capitaKhiust be aided bv the slates or
federal government through corporate
franchises, condemnation of private
property and licenses to uso public
lands aud obstruct public wators. Tho
power companies are to have certainty
of tonuro for a reasonable length of
time and a chnncc for "generous profits
on their actual investmcut" for the pub
lic, the plan promises "good service,
fair prices, full publicitv as to cost,
honest capitalization and fair rontals
for public property used by the com
panies." The government, it is conceded in the
plan, has no jurisdiction unless ito land
is to bo occupied or navigable streams
affected.

LEASING OF COAL TRACTS
AND SURFACE ENTRY LAWS
Numerous Recommendations
Made of Great Importance
to Western States.
WASHINGTON", Dec. 8.Tn his an
nual report, just made public, Secre
tary Balliuger of tho department of
tho interior devotes a large amount
of space to public land problems. After
reciting the history of tho public do
main and giving statistics to show that
thero is now remaining unappropriated
and unreserved 711,08C,-109 acros of
public laud in continental United
States and Alaska, the secretary says:
Today's Problem.
Heretofore, as will be seen, it has
been the policy of congress to dispose
of the public lands to those who were
disposed to make the best use of them,
none of which were disposed of with a
view to securing revenue for govern
mental support. Even tho coal lands
were sold at nominal figures, and until
a few years ago they were not entered
evou at tjial figure, except where mar
Jcot facilities made tho land salable for
their product.
"Under more conservative theories
the question now is of saving the
remnant of the public lands from
monopolization or misuse without
abandoning tho old policies of en
couraging development. The highest
productive use of these lands is the
concern of the people. Tho methods of
spcuring this use are the concern of
national and statp governments.
"By the constitution the congress
is made- the steward of Iho public do
main, and for its stewardship it is re
sponsible to tho people. The executive
can move only as directed or authorized
by congress in selling or otherwise dis
posing of this national cstnte.
New or amendatory legislation re
specting our public lands should be di
rect, simple, effective, and relate prin
cipally lo the proper form of dispo
sition of the withdrawn lands water
power sites, oil lands, coal lands and
rights-of-way over public lands.
Unappropriated public hinds of the
public land slates and territories
amount lo about 712,000,000 acres, and.
as compared with private lands in these
various stales, are a small percentage
of the territory thereof, and the fed
eral government should not undertake
or assume tho entire .burden of the
conservation of the natural resources.
Work of the Year.
Increased appropriations for the field
service of the general land olicc, ex

Chairman of National Monetary
Commission Describes Need
of Reform.
DIRECTOR OF MINT ALSO
GIVES VIEWS ON QUESTION
Defects in Banking System ArV.
Pointed Out and the Remedy
Suggested.
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. S. "The Need
for Currency licform" was discussed by
benator Aldrlch. chairman of the nation
al monetary commission; Senator Bur
ton, a member of the committee; Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury Andrew,
a iOIimer secretary of the commission,
and Director Roberts of the mint, at a
special session of tho American Acad
emy of Political and Social Science hero
tonight.
Senator Aldrlch declared that In his
opinion the reform of the present bank
ing .system was tho most Important work
now before tho monetary commission.
The currency problem would adjust
Itself, ho said, when the banking system
was taken care of.
Bank Lawa Obsolete.
Ho said many methods prescribed bv
aw for the control of national banks
had become obsolete, and "the national
government, having assumed control of
the organization of credit, It Is manifest
ly Incumbent upon It to enter at the
earnest possible moment upon such a
revision of our national banking legisla
tion as will make our methods and
practices more responsive to the de
mands of our modern business life.'
Continuing, Senator Aldrlch said:
"The virtual weakness and practical
defects of our national banking svstem
are shown by the relative growth of na
tional banks and state banks and trust
companies Jn tho lost twenty-live years.
Within this period the number of nation
al banks has Increased 4268, whllo tho
number of slate banks and trust com
panies has Increased 11,085.
"The capital and surplus of the state
banks and trust companies have In
creased In the same time from $175,000,
000 to S1.2S3.000.000. In many Important
communities practically all the banking
business is carried on by Mate trust
companies.
"It Is manifest that the state banks
and trust companies are better organized
to respond to the business demands of
the communities in which they arc lo
cated." Franco Has More Per Capita.
Senator Burton said the need for cur
rency reform did not arise from any in
sufficiency In the general amount With
the ..except Ion of Franco, the per capitu
circulation in the United Slates Is larger
than in any other great commercial coun
try. The defects of our currency system,
he said, Were clue to the retontlon of the
old method, discarded by so many coun
tries, ,of maintaining a government cur
rency. Director Roberts of the mint declared
there is no pressing occasion to deal with
United States notes and silver cerllll
catcs, which, ho said, are being rapidly
absorbed by the retail trade, and there
Is no probability that they will ever again
embarrass the treasury.
"Since Juno 3, laOO," he said, "tho
country has absorbed $337,000,000 of notes
In the denominations of ones, twos and
fives, and the demand has not been fully
satislled at that.
"The total amount of United States
notes and silver certificates now outstanding-
In denominations above $5 is
onlv about $250,000,000. They aro being
reduced to the smaller denominations as
fast as the treasury can place hands on
them, and nt tho present rate will be ab
sorbed in the next five or six years, If the
treasury can get thein."

nual message to congress relative lo

dence of the customary massing of flow-
It seemed lileo ono of Mrs. Eddy's
metaphysical meetings of yenrs gono'bv
and ono hnd to glance at tho massive
bronze caskot, resting in tho rose-tinted
alcovp, to realize the significance of the
occasion.
There wore two intervals of impress- .
ivc silence. Tho first was at tho bo
ginning. The company bad been seat
ed and as the hour a'pproachcd, whis
pering gradually ceased. There was not
a nistle to break the stillness, until
the clocks in the house chimed out the
eleventh hour. Judge Smith then be
gan his reading in a lone reverent, but
unwavering.
As he closed the passages from
"Scienco nnd Health" ho said:
"Wo will now engage in silent
prayer, to bo followed by tho audible
rendering of tho Lord's pra3er."
111 Silent Prayer.
Again the rooms were silent for a lit
tie more than a minute, although it fl
seemed longer. Then Judge Smith
broke the stillness with "Our Father,
who art in heaven" nnd all joined in
the prayer. "Tho Mother's' Evening
Prayer" followed.
Those who wished to look for the last
time on the face of tho leader of tho
sect saw tho small, delicate fnco of a
woman who looked sixty instead of
ninety, aud whose expression wus sin
gulnrly peaceful.
Eighteen carriages followed the
hcarso across the snow-clad hills to
Mount Auburn cemetery in Water
town. There, before the' open doors of
the receiving tomb, Judge Smith fin
ishod tho service of the day by reading
tho Twenty-third Psalm, and pronouuc
ing as a benediction the last verso of
Judo.
The coffin wns slipped into its niche,
the door was shut and scaled, and a
man was placed on guard. As a measure
of protection, the guard has access to
tho telephone which tho directors of
the church have placed temporarily in
the vault.
Tt is expected that Mrs. Eddy's will
will be filed tomorrow at Concord, "N" H.
