LEWIS' PHONE BILL
PLAN FOR GOVERNMENT OWNER
8HIP IN DISTRICT NOT LIKE
LY TO CARRY.
MEASURE DESIGNED AS TEST
Efforts to Put City of Washington In
the Prohibition Column Rouses the
Residents to Bitter Battle Lower
Houso Must Decide.
By GEORGE CLINTON.
Washington. For many days hear
lugs have been conducted before the
house committee of the District' of
Columbia on the Lewis bill for gov
eminent ownership of the telephone
system In tho District. Tho intention
of the promoters of tho bill was to
test government ownership of tho tele
phone system In the city of Washing
ton, which Is coincident with the Dis
trict of Columbia, with a view pos
sibly to more extensive territorial ac
tion In the future.
Representative Lewis of Maryland,
who Is tho father of this government
'ownership proposition, will leave
congress on March 4. It has been his
desire to secure affirmative congres
sional action during his term of of
fice. This specific government owner
ship proposition probably will come be
fore congress again, but the word Is
that It has little chance of enactment
Into law. at tho present session. The
hearings therefore are held by the
proponents of tho measure to be at
present valuable merely from the edu
cational point of view. The opponents
of the measure say that there will bo
no chance to pass It at the next con
gress becnuse opposition to It will be
strengthened In tho new body. The
country must take Its choice between
tho two sets of opinions on the sub
ject. ThO District of Columbia which, as
has been said, means the city of Wash
ington, has been deeply Interested ever
since congress came together In two
propositions, either ono of which If en
acted Into luw would affect material
ly the business Interests und the resi
dents of the district generally. Wheth
er they would affect them beneficially
or detrimentally Is, of course, entirely
according to tho viewpoint.
Senate Passes Dry Bill.
Tho Lewis hill for government own
ership of the telephone lines In the
district held the center of Interest In
tho house, while prohibition for the
district held the center of Interest in
tho senate. The upper house has
pnssed the measure forbidding the
sale and manufacture of intoxicating
liquors In the capital city of the coun
try. The house commltteo now Is con
sidering tho same measure.
Tho sonutors cither have cleared
their skirts or besmirched them, ac
cording ns men view the thing, by
their action on prohibition for tho dis
trict. Today tho upper house men
say, "It Is up to tho lower houso men,"
and so tho prohibition bill has been
sent over to tho mercies of the repre
sentatives. It perhaps may go without
saying that this prohibition bill has
stirred tho city of Washington as few
other things hnve stirred It for a good
many years.
Prohibition In Washington Is u war
like subject. The advocates of dry
legislation are as militant ns any sol
diers In Europe. The same word can
be snld concerning tho ndvocntes of a
continued wet season In this city of
legislation. Words wcro not minced
In tho hearings which the senate com
mittee gave on thls subject nor are
they being minced In the discussion In
tho corridors nnd committee rooms of
tho house. It is a hattlo royal, as
someone has put It, between the black
bottlo and the water wagon.
Debatmg Grayson's Promotion.
Tho scenes of tho other days
havo Just been re-enacted In tho
United States senate, although this
tlmo thero has been more red fire,
to say nothing of thunder and Hashes
of lightning. The senators have been
discussing, with more thnn usual of
theatrical accompaniments, the nom
ination by President Wilson of Gary T.
Grayson, United States navy, to bo n
medical director and n rear admiral.
As everybody knows, Doctor Gray
son has been tho naval aid and per
sonal physician to tho president ever
slnco Mr. Wilson came Into office.
More than this, he was for a tlmo a
medical adviser of President Taft.
Doctor Grayson Is, comparatively
speaking, a Junior ofllcer of tho medi
cal corps of the sea service. Tho
prosldent promoted him over the heads
of 115 navy doctors to the post of
medical director and rear admiral.
It is not the Intention to enter Into
questions affecting Doctor Grayson's
fitness for the rank to which he has
been promoted, nor tho policy which
would Jump ono mnn over tho heads
of others of much longer service, but
only to say that whenever promotion
by selection occurs there always Is
trouble for tho nominee, the nominator
and the senators who must confirm the
nomination.
Roosevelt Didn't Promote Wood.
Thero Is ono curious thing which
has accompanied this case of Doctor
Grayson Into tho limelight. The In
stant that the young surgeon was
named for high promotion, not only
Washington, but tho entire country
said: "Well, didn't Theodore Roose
vclt do the Bnino thing to Leonard
Wood, who was n Junior doctor in tho
medical corps of tho army?"
Yoars of service ns a Washington
correspondent tenches men tho truth
cf tho old saying that it Is hard to
Mtch up with a falsehood. It Is prob
able that nine-tenths of tho people or
tho United States who know anything
nbout the ease nt all bellovo Implicit
ly that Roosevelt, when he wns presl
dent, made his personal friend. Cap
tain-Doctor Leonard Wood, a brigadier
general of the lino in the American
urmy. Captain-Doctor Wood of the
regulnr army, who nlso at the time
wns n colonel of volunteers, wns pro
moted from his captaincy to n brlgn

William McKlnloy, In February. 1001
Theodore Roosevelt, when ho was
president, did tnke two captnlns of
the army and make brigadier generals
out or them. One of them was the
present MaJ. Gen. Jofin J. Pershing.
who commanded tho expedition Into
Mexico, and who bus Just been or
dered hack Into tho United States,
Thero wns something of nn uproar
when tho then president promoted
Pershing because of the fact that the
cavalry captain wns Jumped over the
bends of some hundreds of superior
officers. There was a I'cason, however,
for Pershing's promotion.
Speculation About 1920.
President Wilson hns not yet
taken tho oath of office for his
second term ns president of the
United States and yet already busy
speculations are circling round, like
tho busy whisper In the schoolroom of
tho "Tho Deserted Village," concern
ing who's to bo who in the noxt presl
dimtlal campnlgn.
Perhaps It seems Incredible that
tongues already nro wagging concern
ing tho prospects of this man or that
mnn for high preferment nt the con
ventions which will meet three years
from next June, but such Is the fact,
and there Is n reasou for It. In nor
mal clrcumstunces, of course, It Is not
to ho expected that Woodrow Wilson
will ho a candidate to succeed him
self and therefore and thus early It Is
that the "busy whisper" concern Itself
with the candidate or tho candidates
for tho next Democratic nomination.
So far as the Republicans are con
cerned, they feel an Interest nlready,'
and a talking one, In the possible can
didate who, three years from next
summer may be expected to lead the
assault against a Democracy en
trenched for eight years. Tho new
Congressional Dictionary has Just been
issued. It will be the last directory
to contain nil the names of the mem
bers of the present senate and house.
With the coming of March 4 there will
be a new directory carrying tho bur
den of n good many nnmes.
Are They In the Directory?
Now the Congressional Directory Is
lugged Into the presidential gossip
matter because history shows that In
most cases this book has carried the
names of the two candidates to be
pitted against each other in the presi
dential race.
Some may say that Woodrow Wil
son's name was not In the Congres
sional Directory at the tlmo that ho
was talked of for the presidency more
than four yenrs ago. It was. The
names of thn governors of the stntcs
appear In tho Congressional Directory,
nnd it does not tnke much of a mem
ory to retain the fact that Mr. Wilson
wns once governor of New Jersey.
The nnme of Charles E. Hughes was
In the Congressional Directory during
all the time that ho was being nnmed
as a probable Republican cnndldate
and during nil tho time that he re
fused to break silence on the subject
of his desire or lack of desire to enter
the contest. Tho Congressional Direc
tory carries the nnmes of the chief
Justice and the ns' slate Justices of
tho Supreme court.
Some studious person who has
looked over tho new directory Just ns
It has come from the press has discov
ered that only two men have seen fit
to put In their nutoblographles fur
nished for the book the fact that they
were candidates for the nomination of
their parties for tho presidency of the
United States Speaker Champ Clark
(Dem.) and John W. Weeks (Hep.).
Some of the Possibilities.
In tho new Congressional Directory,
however, are to be found the names of
a good many men who hnve received
votes In either the Democratic or tho
Republican nntlonnl conventions for
the nomination for the presidency.
Thomas R. Marshall, vice president of
the United Stntes. was n favorite son
of Hooslerdoni In tho days of tho con
tinuance of the Baltimore convention
of 1012. Oscnr W. Underwood, Dem
ocrat, of Alabama, not only wns his
stato's favorite son, but he received
n large, number of votes In tho conven
tion. There nre other Democrats In
the book who likewise received sup
port for the nomination for the highest
ollico In tho land.
Now we turn to the Republicans and
we find Senator Lawrence Y. Sher
man, who received the great majority
of the votes of Illinois on the first bal
lot at the Chicago convention last
summer. And there Is Senntor Rob
ert M. La Follette of Wisconsin, who
has figured In natlonnl conventions ns
a candidate several times. With them
are Senntor Borah of Idaho and Cum
mins of Iowa and some others.
A momber of congress the other day
called tho congressional directory
tho "Book of Fate." He said that
somewhere within It, In all human
probability, wan the name of the next
president of the United States. This
may not he, of course, because some
mnn may spring Into prominence nnd
power In the next three yenrs nnd car
ry away the banner. But the chances
are, perhaps, that the name of the
president of tho United States who
shall succeed Woodrow Wilson Is con
tained In this book of fate and book
of tho future.

HOPE TO AVERT MR
GERMANS HAVE NO DESIRE TO

PILOTS TO EXERCISE GARE
Neutral Crafts to Be Warned Enemy.
Merchantmen Ordered to Be
Sunk On Sight
Copenhagen, Denmark. Little hopo
or expectation prevails In Boriim that
war with tho United States la avoid
able or that a modus Vivendi recon
ciling tho.policlos of Uio two govern
ments can bo found.
There now is a deslro on tho part
ot tho authorities aud a vast bulk of
tho people to avoid actual hostility la
any way consistent with the general
lines of the present submarine policy,
but only in such a way. Accordingly
Instructions were given, so The As
sociated Press has been reliably ln
formed, to submarlno commanders be
fore they started on their February
mission, to take tho safe side when
neutral vessels, particularly Ameri
can, were in question, whenever pos
sible. Enemy merchantmen when recog
njzed as such, were ordered to bo
sunk at sight, but neutral merchant
men were to bo warned when such
action In their Judgment was consist
ent with tho object of tho campaign
and the safety of tholr Bhlps.
It Is realized, however, after ther
prompt and resolute stand taken by
President Wilson, that theso orders
could only be pallatlvo and only de
fer, not avoid, an ultimate break.
Also that If President Wilson stood
by his announcement that tho destruc
tion of American lives or ships would
bo regarded as an act of hostility, a
casus belli must como sooner or lat
probably sooner on account of tho
numbers of Americans on enemy
ships. Moreover thero was the discre
tionary naturo of the instructions to
submarine commanders who wcro in
formed that while the careful course
toward neutrals was recommended
and desired, they would not longer be
subjected to punishment for departing
from their former procedure of warn
ing, if they found this advisable. It
Is considered that the only possibility
of tho avoidance of hostilities would
result from a modification of Its stand
point by ono or the other side and so
far as could be judged from the posi
tive declarations of Alfred Zimmer
man, the German minister of foreign
affairs, and other officials before Urn
Associated Press correspondent's de
parture from Berlin, thero was no
probability that Germany -would give
way this time or abandon the ruth
less campaign now started.
Gorman-American relations again
and again havo passed through crises
apparently almost hopeless, but thl3
time the crisis Is more difficult than
the former ones and even the optimist
can scarcely see any peaceful egress

Washington. American ship own

Intimations were given in official
quarters that, while tho government
will not actually arm merchant craft
or even formally advise arming, a
way will be found to put weapons nt
tho disposal of owners who desire la
prepare for defense against illegal at
