V'fc Hoard of Conitrnrllon in A. and Division of Manolirtoi U Divided Into Two Divisions. f- WASHINGTON, Not. . -Heeding: cry for reform In navsl affairs, Sci tary Meyer the day after tomorrow wt inaugurate the most sweeping changes In the Navy department since the establlah nient of the bureau system In 1S42. Him self a director of banks and manufartur InR companies In New England In times pant, he hopes to put the department on a business basis beyond the dreams of predecessors. The keynote of his re forms is the subordination of the bureau chief. Summarlted the essential changes in the Meyer p'an are: "The selection of four responsible ad visers on subjects with the four groups Into which duties of the depaartment fall, to be known as the aide for material, the aide for personnel, the aide for opera tions of the fleet and the aide for In spections. "The grouping of the bureaus into two divisions of material and personnel, ac cording to the nature of their duties. The establishment of a division of operations of the fleet. The establishment of a com prehensive inspection system. The estab lishment of a modem and efficient cost keeping system in the Navy department and at navy yards. 'The separation of navy yard work Into two divisions of hulls and machinery. "The abolishment of the board of con struction. The abolishment of the bureau of equipment Fighting; Men to Front. "Henceforth the officers who fight the ships are to Tiave more Influence In the Navy department. Chosen men from among ' them are to be the official eyes and oars of the secretary, laden with full responsibility for their reports, but not his hands. The secretary will retain his administrative and executive power for his own exercise and that of the assistant secretary of the navy. All the reforms go Into effect December 1 oncer the . abolishing of the bureau : of . equipment, which oongreas aJono can do. The aide for operations of the fleet will baRear Ad miral ' Richard Walnwrlght, commander of the third division of the Atlantic ' fleet. The aide for personnel will be Rear Ad miral W. P. Potter, now chief of the bureau of navigation. The aide for ma terial will be Rear Admiral William Swift, commandant of the Boston nary yard. The aide for inspection will be Captain Aaron Ward, recently supervisor of the New York harbor, who will become a roar admiral on. January 9. Captain Regi nald P. Nicholson, a member of the board of inspection and survey, will be made ohlef of the bureau of navigation, vice Potter. Too Mich Confnnton. When Mr. Moyer assumed office he found some confusion in the department and In the navy yards, due to changes Instituted by Secretary Newberry a few weeks before the close of his administration. Steps were taken to ascertain how far it was de 'liable to follow the reforms outlined by Secretary Newberry. The Sperry board was created to report how the various conflict ing orders and regulations could be recon ciled best. Then oaraa the Leutse board, whlch was asked to make recommenda tions concerning the consolidation of the burtau of steam engineering with other bureaus, a step undertaken by Secretary Newberry. Finally Secretary Meyer ap , pointed the Swift board to consider the reports of the other board and to make recommendations for the lmrpovement of the business methods of the department.. With these reports as a basis Secretary Meyer has evolved his reform. The secretary found that the bureaus of the department were Independent of each other and that he must decide all differ ences between them. The aides are to advise him on these points. "If the secretary seeks advice from Indi vidual officers In whom he has confidence but who have no definite relation to the organization of the Navy department." said Mr. Meyer today in explaining his reforms, "he gets advloe which may be good, but which Is not responsible. Such recourse to Individuals moreover gives no assurance of continuity of policy nor re sponsibility." Ou Board Abolished. According to the Meyer plan the board of construction becomes useless and will be abolished. This board was created prin cipally to supervise ship designing and to decide questions In dispute between the bureaus when their duties overlapped or when one wished to procure more apace or weight for Its purposes In a ship's design, I nrti r the Mayer plan the operating branch vhlcli deals directly with the military use of the fleet will originate the military fea tures of new construction In consultation with the general board, of which the new a.tlo for operations will be a member. Other officers will also be called In for advice and criticism before aud after the sketch plana have been considered by the bureaus. These offloers will be selected because of pronounced success In ordnance, engineer ing or torpedo practical work. The bureaus will be called upon finally to prepare the actual plans aud will be responsible for their correctness. With the growth of the business of the department Secretary Meyer found that duties similar to those of the equipment bureau were performed by the bureau of supplies and accounts, construction and re pair, und by u earn engineering. In this connection It U to be noted that R r Ad- II Irsl W. a C'owles Is now tie h nd of tin bureau - ' -f "I -i uufarl urluif. 1'.

Travelers May Ride the Freights , General Solicitor Kelby Tells Rail road Commission Burlington Will Accede to Requests. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 29. OJpeoial.) Traveling men will soon be permitted to ride freight trains, as of yore, and their kick to the railway commission will bear fruit before the, formal hearing, which has been set for December lL General Solicitor J. B. Kelby of the Bur'lngton ' was at Lincoln today In the matter of the complaint and when the board set the hearing tor the December date, he said before that time the Burllngtpn would put back the old rule and the commercial men might ride freights as before If they desired. The recent rule of the road prohibiting passenger traffic on some of the freights caused a big protest from the drummers, who were often compelled to make their towns on these trains and otherwise would be put to great delay and much extra expense. They today sent to the com mission a formal petition and embodied In their complaint an offer to pay 26 a year extra to the railroad for the privilege of riding on the desired trains. Now, ac cording to Mr. Kelby, this will be un necessary and If the road does as he says, the protest will be dropped, for by the time of the hearing there will be no cause for further objection. Governor's Power is Exaggerated Under Sackett Law He Can Only Cer , tify Cases of Neglect of Duty to Attorney General. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 29 (Speclal.)-From the tone of the letters being reeelved by Gov ernor Shallenberger asking him to remove Mayor Dahlman and the members of the Omaha police board it Is very evident that the writers have an exaggerated Idea of the governor's authority In the case now pending. The governor cannot remove Mayor Dahlman, so it was said In the executive office today and neither can he remove the police board. It Is the duty of the governor under the charges filed, should it be shown that the mayor and police board have neglected to enforce the law, willfully and negligently, to simply certify that fact to the attorney general and authorize him to bring quo warranto proceedings to oust them. Then It will be a matter for the courts to decide. In the meantime the governor has been Informed that the first two cases brought by the Antl-SaJoon league against saloon keepers of Omaha failed and the liquor dealers were discharged. Barry Goes to California. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 Major General Thomas H Barry was today ordered to proceed to San Francisco and assume com mand of the department of California. Oh, Dearie, Do Look Here at This Horrid Tariff Bill! Senator Aldrlch Is a stern man of facts atd figure. His thoughts are on the finan cial destiny of a nation. Meanwhile Beauty is stamping her dainty foot vainly on the tufted white and baby blue rug of her dressing room and scowl ing a most touching frown Into the big French mirror across the labia "It was all Just this wuy," she' explained.

ELKINS PROPOSES A BILL He Would Reduce Duties on Goods Brought in American Ships. GOMPERS AND MITCHELL CALL Injunctions by Federal Courts in Labor Disputes Discussed. CERTAIN CHANGES SUGGESTED Labor Leaders Want Their OraranIsa tlons Exempt front Certain Pre-. visions of Sherman Antl Trnst Act. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. A conferenoe on the amendment to be proposed by President Taft to the interstate oommerce act was held today at the White House. Attorney General Wlckersham, Senator Cummins of Iowa, who will Introduce a bill of his own next week, and Senator Elklns, chairman of the state committee on Interstate and foreign commerce, took up the subject with the president. The president has his mind set on ac complishing something In connection with alterations In thin law, and while his pol icy Is not to Interfere with the work of congress, he will use every reasonable Influence to make the laws governing transportation stronger In their control over the railroads and In their benefits to the shipping pub Ic and the masses. Senator Elklns today renewed his sug gestions that the best way to encourage Amorlcan shipping would be to enact a law giving a reduction of S per cent In customs duties on all Imported goods brought into the United States In Amer ican bottoms. "This would not only build up Amer ican shipping, but would be a reduction downward In duties," said Senator Elklns. The president Is preparing his recom mendations favoring ship subsidy legisla tion and Senator Elklns wished to lay his project before him before that para graph of the message to congress was t completed. Recommendations looking toward the Improvement of the condition of the labor ing man which It is desired the president incorporate In his annual message to con gress were urged upon President Tsft today by a delegation of labor leaders headed by Samuel Gompers. John Mitch ell, James O'Connell and Frank Morrison accompanied Mr. Gompers to the White House. Foremost of the subjects considered was the Issuance of Injunctions by ' federal Judges, particularly as they apply to per sonal liberty and their use in the settle ment of disputes between employers ".and employes. The exemption of labor .organisations from certain provisions of the Sherman anti-trust act was also discussed. The president has practically decided that his message to congress will make no recommendations regarding the Sher man act. His decision, which is a decided change from his Intentions of a few weeks ago, Is largely based upon the fact that there are pending In the supreme court and on their way to that tribunal a number of important cases involving in terpretation of the act. He feels, he frays, that specific recom mendations from him at this time might be construed as an attempt to Influence the court. ' SIDNEY C.
