OUTLOOK FOR HAVY BILL QUITE POOR House Committee is in a Deadlock Over the Recommendations Now.

IT ELIMINATES RED TAPE 6ENATE COMMITTEE HAS NOT YET TAKEN UP THE BILL, BUT MAJORITY OF MEMBERS ARE THOUGHT HOSTILE. Washington, Jan. 15. Secretary Meyer may not get the approval of congress for his navy department reOrganization program. The house committee on naval affairs is practically deadlocked over a recommendation that the plan be approved. The eenate committee has not yet taken up the question, but certain influential members of that committee are known to be opposed to the plan. The opposition to the proposed reforms comes in a roundabout way from officers in the navy who would undoubtedly be shorn of a good deal of power if the Meyer plan should be permanently Adopted. The members of the house committee who favor the plan have been working hard to obtain favorable action, but up to this time they have been afraid to press for a vote In the committee. lAn unofficial poll of the committee indicates that it is hostile to the plan. fThe secretary and some of the leading Jine officers of the navy have been diligent in urging upon the committee the wisdom of the changes suggested. The opponents of the plan seem to bave been getting in their work in a quiet way; they have, it is alleged, been working on individual members of the committees through influential friends. From the Swift Report. The recommendations of the secretary were adopted from a report made by the Swift board of naval experts appointed to study the matter and submit a plan of reorganization. It was the aim of the Swift board and is the purpose of the secretary to do away ith as much of the so-called bureaucracy in the department as possible. Secretary Meyer seems to be sincerely in favor of abolishing much of the red tape characteristic of the department. In order to give his plan a trial before receiving the approval of congress, he has appointed aids on operation, personnel, materials . and subsistence. These aids form his personal staff. Each aid Is in direct charge of one or more bureau or divisions. To this aid all reports are made by the bureaus under him and the secretary can get in immediate communication with any bureau at any time. This plan of organization resembles the general staff plan for the army, which has worked well. The aids form the navy staff with the aids in charge of operation as chief of staff. This chief of staff now happens to be Rear-Admiral Richard Wainvright. Besides the navy staff, there Is the general board or the navy of which Admiral Dewey is president. This board corresponds to the war college of the army in that it maps out plans of campaigns and is always at work perfecting the war game of the navy. Members of the navy staff participate with the navy general board In working out navy operations, imaginary or actual. Work in Navy Yard. Another reform which Secretary IVIeyer is pushing with vigor proposes CURED OF ITCH BY CUTICURA Showed No Marks but Whole Body Itched Like a Million MosquitoBites Sleep Out of the Question and Life Became an Inferno. DOCTORS AND DRUGGIST TREATED THEM IN VAIN "The Cuticura Remedies are the best In the world, as I know from experience. In Dowlais. South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the moat terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitos were attacking you at the same time. Yet you could see nothing on the skin. But the itch was there all light and I sincerely trust that I shall never get it. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. The male members and myself belonged to the same socle?? nnd, as steward, it was my duty to visit 1 1:3 sick members once a week for sick beneli ; until they were declared off. That is hv... I became so familiar with the itch. "The doctors did their ct but their remedies were of no ava.1 hatever. Then tho families tried adru . twho was noted far snd wide for his n:--!c-able cures.

I am glad to tell you that after a Iott days' treatment with Cuticura Soars Ointment and Resolvent, tho effect was wonderful and tha result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen or twenty years.

to simplfy the irork done in the various navy yards. His idea Is that the rariou3 divisions operating in each yard should be placed under one head. The old system of ' distinct divisions, each with a chief responsible only to the head of a bureau here at Washington .has resulted, it is said in confusion delay, petty disputes . over authority and waste of money. Secretary Meyer would place at the head of each navy yard an officer who would be held responsible for every branch of work at that yard and to . whom all the chiefs of divisions in the yard would report. Under the old system of management of the navy yards, some perplexing, as well as humorous conditions, have arisen. It has happened for instance, that an officer detailed to supervise special work in a yard has outranked the commandant. The commandant thereupon became subject to the authority of an officer on specific assignment to one piece of work at the yard. Naturally, this sort of thing was not good for the general discipline in the yard. Sample of Red Tape. Under the old system officers in charge of the work, at navy yards coming under direct supervision of a Washington bureau would report only to the chief of division at Washington. The commandant at the navy yard

would know nothing from official re ports of the progress of work in the yard under his command. When the secretary of the navy sent for information from the commandant the commandant was obliged to refer the inquiry to the head of the division in charge of the work, to which the inquiry pertained. This head of division would not report to the commandant, but would report to his immediate superior, a chief of one of the Washington bureaus. This chief, not knowing the need of the secretary for an immediate report, would transmit the report through ordinary red tape channels, with the result that there was much delay in getting the information desired by the secretary in his hands. Secretary Meyer found this delay and the red tape eisting everywhere Intolerable. He recommended to the Swift board that a plan be devised to correct these evils. The plan the Swift board suggested and the one which Secretary Meyer has put into operation temporarily and for which he has asked the approval of congress makes the commandant responsible for all work at his yard. One important recommendation made by the Swift board Secretary Meyer did not follow. The board suggested that the marine corps be placed under one of the bureaus. The secretary has placed the corps under the assistant secretary of the navy. Would Mean Big Saving. The largest single influence with congress in favor of the so-called reform program submitted by Secretary Meyer, is the argument for economy. The advocates of the old regime Jn th navy have been forced to admit that their plan is more expensive than that proposed by Secretary Meyer. The hearings before the house committee on naval affairs the last two weeks have shown rather conclusively that the old bureaucracy system is wasteful and that under it the navy yards are slow In construction. The point has been brought out that Germany turns out a battleship in half the time it takes to build one in this country, and that a battleship in this country costs more than a German battleship of the same type. If congress fails to give Secretary Meyer's reorganization plan approval, there will probably be a return to the old system. The secretary is able to keep his plan in operation temporarily, but he would hardly be able to stand out against the opposition of the old bureau chiefs if congress should turn down his program. WILL BE NO TAXES San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 15. To induce American capitalists to make in vestments in the state of Coahuila, Senor Jesus del Valle, governor of that state, and the guest of the City of San Antonio last week, said that the legislature of Coahuila would in the near future pas3 laws exempting from taxation for a certain number of years all capital invested there in mining, industries and agriculture. He announced that the state would do this for the purpose of inviting large investments, especially from the United States. He also said that the teaching of English at the Normal college of Coahuila would be extended and that an appropriation of $100,000 (American) would be made to introduce the teaching of this language in the higher public schools. Senor Del Valle met with a very enthusiastic reception while in this city. He was feted by various social and commercial bodies and Fort Sam Houston invited him to witness a garrison review, and participate in an inspection of the post. General Albert L. Myer showed the visitor many courtesies, and a reception was given in his honor by the city council.

Lured by cheap and good lands in Mexico, thousands of American farmers are passing through this city every week on their way to the other side of the Rio Grande either to inspect properties offered them, or to settle. Most of them go to the Vera Cruz district and Tamaupilas. The western parts of Mexico also draw many. In addition to getting soil that has never been worked and a warm climate in high altitudes, the settlers receive a substantial subsidy from the Mexican government for every acre brought under cultivation by means of irrigation. In most cases irrigation is an easy matter for the reason that most of the good lands are located at the foot of vast mountain chains furnishing a perennial water supply of large volume. It is also Claimed that the new comers will find a better market in Mexico than in the United States. Railroad shipping facilities are increasing rapidly and rates to the ports on the Gulf of Mexico are but a trifle when compared with those charged on products raised in any of the central states in this country and consigned to New York or other points of export on the Atlantic coast. Shipments of grain to New York and Europe from Tampico and Vera Cruz, and points in the Interior of Mexico, can be made much cheaper than from any other state west of the Mississippi. Anticipating the conditions which in this respect, will arise from an influx of American and European settlers, the Mexican government is spending large sums of money in improvements of its ports and railroads, both of which are practically owned by it. Rich Men's Gifts Are Poor beside this: "I want to go on record as saying that I regard Electric Bitters as one of the greatest gifts that God has made to woman, writes Mrs. O. Rhinevault, of Vestal Center, N. Y., "I can never forget what it has done for me." This glorious mediciue gives a woman buoyant spirits, vigor of body and jubilant health.

For three years, it has created a reign of terror among the natives, its human victims during that period numbering no fewer than 150. It would often carry off a man from among 20 or 30 others. The Madras government has now offered a reward of $350 for the killing of the brute. A reward of $S0. previously offered, was Insufficient to induce the local hunters to take the risk of tracking the redoubtable man-eater to its lair. ABATTOIR FOR SALE.

Fair Cleo Is Not Noticed Now

Woman Who Captivated the Late King Leopold of Belgium Passes from Limelight When Ruler Died.

(By La Voyageuse.) Paris, Jan. 15. With the passing of Leopold 11, King of Belgium, disappears another well known figure, but in a different way Cleo de Merode, once queen of the green room and a well known figure of the footlights. Although this woman on whom Leopold showered immense sums and jewelry, is still alive, yet with the death of the Belgian king interest in her has also died out. for gay Paris has more interesting and absorbing subjects to think of than a woman who gained an old king's fancy, and held it, too, for a longer time than had been expected, notwithstanding the fact that Baroness Vaughan, his moganatic wife constantly endeavored to sever his regard for the attractive actress. Probably the wealthiest monarch in Europe, he was noted for his generosity or extravagance in other directions than where women were concerned. In his many trips from Brussels to Paris, whether coming here for business or pleasure, he almost invariably rode in a first-class compartment of the train, such as are used by thousands of other passengers daily, while on his arrival a plain, every day cab he considered to be quite good enough for his needs. Hiss tall figure and patriarchial, long flowing white beard was the cause of many comments more or less personal, and often caustic, but which he took in good part. Incidentally, it may be said that Baroness Vaughan was in Rome only a day or two ago seeking the advice of the Pope as to the possibility of her second son's succession to the throne there is no crown in Belgium His Holiness having recognized the validity of her marriage to Leopold. Whatever hi3 advice may have been, it is certain that her sons will never be given an opportunity to reign in Belgium. A revolution would arise if any such serious attemps were made. At the present time, with Germany having her eye constantly fixed on Holland, with the hope of annexing or of swallowing that kingdom some day, the succession of the throne in Belgium is a very serious matter: especially in view of the fact that a consolidation, or at least a close alliance between Holland and Belgium is being again discussed. When Maud Allan, the dancer, made her first appearance, here at the varieties theater In th spring of 1906, in what has since become a world renowned dance, that of "Salome," and which, by the way, was long before she appeared in London, the same criticism was directed against her as has just been made in Russia. "Miss Mod -Allan," as the Russian critics called her, "astonished everyone only by the uniform monotony of her dancing, while his gestures were lacking in variety." They write: "The whole performance resolves itself into that of a young, well developed girl, certainly not destitute of grace or refinement, giving way to the inspiration of the music, which, it must be admitted, she does not spoil." Another critic declares that she "dances with her hands, not with her feet." and adds that "she is only at the threshold of her art" These harsh words will not meet with the approval of thousands of women in the United States, who are strong admirers of the young American dancer, who only a short time ago appeared on the stage in New York.

forewomen. Among musicians it has often been asked why there are so few women conductors of orchestras. Yet it is on women, far more than on men, that thousands upon thousands of dollars and millions of hours are expended for the purpose of teaching them music. Yet how few have originally enough to compose or to strike out into this field? In Paris there are ever so many women in the large orchestras, notably those of Coloniu and Lamoureux, but usually harps and violins are the only instruments they are entrusted with. Why?
