TUFT iraUPW
Declares That the Islands Must
Remain In Our Possession For
More Than a Generation.
SPEAKS ON PANAMA CANAL
Will Not Express a Preference Between
Sea Level or Lock Waterway—Can
not Say When Question Will Be Set
tled—How the Bills For Construction
Work Are Met.
Kausas City., Nov. 21.—Secretary of
War William H. Taft, guest of honor
last night at the annual banquet of the
Commercial club, in responding to the
toast, "The Philippines,” said that the
Philippine Islands must be ours for
more than a generation and that prob
ably those called on to act as legisla
tors would not live to see tbe day
“when separation .consistent with the
welfare of the Philippines can be
made.”
Secretary Taft declined to say to re
porters whether be favored a sea level
or a lock canal on the isthmus of Pan
ama.
“I can’t answer a .categorical ques
tion,” he said. "Tbe matter will come
before me for a view, and to discuss
the two plans at present would be an
Impropriety. If I said what I think
personally I should have to say why,
and I do not think that an advisable
thing to do just yet
President’* Power to Build Canal.
“Under the present law,” tbe secre- j
tary continued, “If It were decided to
build a lock canal the president has
the power to go ahead and build it j
without consulting congress. But if a
sea level canal be adopted ihe probably
will go to congress for advice. The!
canal act provides for $135,000.000j
bonds to constitute a fund from which j
to build a canal, but appropriations;
must be made each year by congress j
from that sum to meet expenditures, i
Bo, although tbe president may build a j
canal, he would have to go to congress j
each year for the money. It will re- j
quire an etnprgeney appropriation to'
meet the payroll next month.
“I cannot say when the canal ques
tion Anally will be settled. Tbe board
of consulting engineers, or advisory
board, will report its Andlng to the
Panama canal commission. Probably
those engineers will discuss their work
with the commissioners. After that
the commission will formulate a report
with recommendations which will be
sent to the president through the sec
retary of war. That Is the reason I
cannot properly say which canal
scheme 1 prefer.”

Elizabeth Man Chargad by Police With
Being an "Amateur Cracksman."
Elizabeth, N. J., Nov. 21. - An ex
traordinary criminal casa—another
"Bafflea” romance—la stirring this city
and the nearby town of Clayton.
Alfred Porch Smalley, a prisoner in
the county jail, Is the aatise and the
center of the sensation. He Is a college
'graduate, a man prominent socially
'and has enjoyed an enviable reputation
la business, his wife and two children
living in Clayton and he being employ
ed by Swift & Co. In Philadelphia and
''■pending Saturday- night and Sunday
^wlth bis family.
] Smalley was arrested In Wllliams
<port, Pa., on a charge of having rob
bed the home of his intimate friend,
Dr. Frederick Moore of Clayton, but
-the popular agitation caused by this al
leged crime is almost lost in the larger
sensation furnished by the Philadelphia
•police. They suspect Smalley of many
robberies committed in Germantown,
every one on a Friday night, preceding
ihls weekly Journey to Elisabeth and
Clayton, and it Is declared here that
property taken from the Germantown
dwelllugs has been found In the trunk
of a society woman of Elizabeth. The
husband of the latter, it is said, made
the discovery and, despite the wife’s
efforts to explain the presence of the
articles as gifts, Is about to seek a di
vorce.
The police say they doubt this last
report. They assert, however, that
they have evidence that the prisoner, a
respect able business man by day, was |
.« professional burglar at night. He Is I
’•'only twenty-nine years of age.

WILL CENSURE M’CALL.
Special Committee After New York
Life's Head—Testimony at Inquest.
New York, Nov. 21. — The Herald
says, that a committee.of the New York
Life Insurance company directors for
the .last two weeks has been conduct
ing an “internal” investigation of tbe
conduct of its business in order to
learn the extent of the accuracy of as
sertions made on the witness stand in
the legislative inquiry. The report of
these private investigators is nearly
completed, and it will show that the
conclusions reached bear out those of
the official inquisition and are particu
larly drastic with regard to John A.
McCall’s administration of the office of
president.
Tlie New York state legislative in
surance investigating committee be
gan probing the Equitable Life's out
lay for “legal expenses,” and Inquisi
tor Hughes promptly uncovered
through Assistant Registrar Samuel S.
McCurdy the fact that thousands of dol
lars paid out in this way were not
matters of record in the registrar’s de
partment.
.It is reported that Richard A. Mc
Curdy Is to be removed from the presi
■dency of the Mutual Life Insurance
•company. The special committee of
investigation, consisting of Trustees
TCruesdale, Auchincloss and Fish, has
under consideration a change in the
personnel of the management, and it
was because of this intention that the
committee refused to act on the offer
of the president to have his salary re
duced by half.
Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., former gov
ernor of New York, denied with em
phasis that he had ever, directly or in
directly, threatened the Mercantile
Trust company, a subsidiary concern
of the Equitable Life Assurance so
ciety. with hostile legislation, as charg
ed iby Mr. Hyde.
Senator Depew denied ail knowledge
of tbe Equitable’s various “yellow
dog” accounts and testified that, bal
ancing his losses against his profits,
his net gain during the twenty-eight
years since he became a director of the
Equitable had been Only $1,319.16.
Mr. Gage E. Tarbeil, second vice
president of the Equitable, testified
that he had fought the practice of pay
ing men to influence legislation. He
tried to get the other two big com
panies to agree to stop it, he said. Mr.
Perkins and Mr. McCall were willing,
but Richard A. McCurdy sent word by
his son Robert that the plan, although
ideal, was impracticable. 1
In his testimony in the insurance
investigation Edward ' H. Hnrriman
denied emphatically the testimony
of James H. Hyde, former vice presi
dent of the Equitable Life Assurance
society, that he had urged4 Hyde to
effect a settlement >of the stilt Of ex
Governor Odell against the Mercantile
Trust company. He asserted that, on
the contrary, it was Mr. Hyde who
had enlisted his friendly offices to try
to persuade Mr. Odell to' consent to a
financial settlement.

MEETIHGjfMOSCOW
Zemstvo Congress Fails to Agree
Regarding Policy Toward the
Czar’s New Government.
GREAT STRIKE AT AN END.
Russia Saved From Convulsion by
Workmen, but Political Uprising Is
Threatened — Poland’s State — Pre
tender to Throne Appears—Upheaval
In Many Parts of Country.
The zemstvo congress meeting in
Moscow devoted two Jong sessions to
the discussion of the question of the
attitude it should adopt toward the
new government which has been de
creed by the emperor and adjourned
without coming to a decision. The de
bate indicated quite clearly, however,
the existence of two apparently ir
reconcilable parties as well as the
lines on which the division ultimately
will be made, though the relative
strength of the .partlee was not shown.
A score of orators participated In the
debate, and they wore about evenly di
vided between the advocates of the
Immediate convocation of a constitu
ent assembly and those who are urging
co-operation with the new government
so as to save the country from anarchy
if not n complete revolution. No eat
resolution was proposed, but the dis
cussion took the wldeet range.
Russia has been saved from another
convulsion by the action of the work
men’s council declaring off after a few
slays of striking the general strike that
had been proclaimed throughout the
empire. The objects of the strike were
the expression of sympathy with the
mutineers who had risen at Crons tadt,
the compelling of the government to
revoke the proclamation of martial law
in Poland and also to compel the call
ing of a constituent assembly. None
of these objects was attained by the
strikers, and the strike passed off with
but little riot or bloodshed.
The failure of the strike has shown
Russia as a whole how little sympathy
there is with Poland in her demand
for autonomy. At Moscow the rail
road men refused to strike on the
ground that they did not sympathize
with the Poles in their struggle
In St. Petersburg, following the col
lapse of the strike, the leaders of the
“reds” say they will now devote their
energies to die prep, ’atlon of a gen
eral political strike to sustain the revo
lutionary programme when the nation
al assembly meets. Normal conditions
of life are being resumed in the city.
The workmen are returning to work,
the electric light plants are in opera
tion and telephonic communication has
been restored.
It is reported that the British Con
sul in Odessa has. demanded a col
lective passport for the whole British
colony. The American, Austrian and
Italian consuls will take the same
measure of safety. Renewed disorders
are feared in Odessa.
The Official Messenger in addition to
denying that the measures taken by
the government in Poland were in
fluenced by neighboring powers stated
that martial law in Poland will be re
pealed as soon as tranquillity is re
stored.
A pretender to the throne of Russia
suddenly made his appearance near
Penza and gathered about him many
thousands of followers.
If the pretender to the throne has
placed himself at the head of the peas
antry the government will soon face
beeides its other troubles a formidable
agrarian rebellion.
The reported ukase of ithe czar giving
to the peasants a large portion of the
imperial domain affects almost a third
of European Russia, at present the
property of the czar and the grand
duke*.
According to this information land
will be supplied to the landless peas
ants in fifteen ao,re allotments not as
a free gift, but on easy terms.
The upheaval in Russia following
the promulgation of the reform mani
festo issued by the emperor has reach
ed Vladivostok and Yeniseisk and other
extreme points of the empire. From
various sources come reports of an up
rising at Vladivostok. Many parsons
have been killed, and martial law has
been proclaimed in the city. According
to some accounts, mutinies have taken
place in the Manchurian army and
among former prisoners returning
home who do not want to be taken
back to Russia.
There, is no betterment of the agra
rian I'ohditions. iJlspatches from
Kurak. POltava, Riazau, Samara and
other provinces continue to report the
spread of disorders.

not take the fertility off the land. This
is an important consideration. Some
lines of farming soon reduce the laud

A German publicist who spent a part
of the summer in a boarding hous£ at
Teignmouth, England, says: ‘‘English
seaside visitors display most remarka
ble Ingenuity In sustaining a lengthy
conversation founded on no other topic
than the weather. When this Is ex
hausted they turn to their aches and
| pains. Each Individual adduces some
striking example of bodily suffering on
his or her part, and the combined ail
ments of the company afford themes
for endless discussion."

“If you’ll give me a finer quality of
goods,” said the professional window
trimmer, “I can make a splendid dis
play.”
! “If I had the fine goods I could make
the display myself," remarked the pro

you for Is to make a splendid display
with cheap goods."—Chicago Tribune.
