'EXPLOSIVE' IN ARMS
EMBARGO AGITATION
.
More than 2000 policemen who purchased
homes In respectable sections of the city
during: the Blankcnburg administration
Aero aroused today by reports that tho
decree has gone forth that they must
move back with their families to tho old
home locations and resume their former
political servitude to uard bosses.
Xotlco has been served on many police
men by ward and division leaders that
the "policemen's Utopia" Is at an end,
that they must hurry back to tho old
wards ani again brace their shoulders
Rtttlnst tho wheel of tho Organization.
Tho order Is backed by a aubtlo threat
to tho effect that policeman who fall to
comply aro likely to lose their Jobs.
TUB FATE OF CAMERON".
In tho resignation oj rtobcrt D. Cam
eron captain of detectives, tho police
men sco Indorsement of tho "back-to-thc.
ward" movement from high Organiza
tion officials. Captain Cameron formerly
lived In tho ward of Davo Lane, Repub
lican Organization leader. Some time ago,
when Captain Cameron moved out of tho
ward without Lane's permission, tho lat
ter made tho threat that ho would "got
the head" of the captain of detectives.
When George D. Porter took the oath
of office' as Director of Public Safety.
ho delivered to the members of hla entire
department a message from Mayor
Blankenburg to tho effect that they could
live In any section of tho city they de
sired. He added that 'they could move,
at uny time without asking the permls
sloj of their division leaders or anybody
else.
Tho message was received with Joy by
hundreds of policemen who had been
afraid to move their families from slum
sections for fear of winning the dis
pleasure of ward bosses. For years,
many of t'lese policemen had been forced
by political necessity to rear their chil
dren In unsavory surroundings In tho
Tenderloin, or the semi-Tenderloin. Their
little ones grew up amid scenes which
could not fall to effect unfavorably their
Impressionable minds. Almost dally tho
children came In contact with thieves,
pickpockets, dope nends, disorderly
women and other habltups of the Tender
loin. The" wives of the policemen were
troubled by the sordldncss of their sur
roundings, and they hailed the edict -of
Mayor blankenburg with greater delight
even than their husbands. In the order
they glimpsed a better and more whole
some homo life.
V When division leaders learned that there
"was likely to be a wholesale exodus of
pbdlcemen from slum wards, they were
l.lld with alarm. They told tho police
men that tho reform "ave would be of
short duration. They madr the sinister
threat: that when the organization came
back into power It would Know how to
deal with coppers who moved out from
under the joke of political servitude.
But It was a case or bervlns cither their
"political friends" or considering the wel
fare of their famillCH, and the mujority
of the policemen chobe the latter couise
and moved.
The domestic lives of the policemen was
W per cent, happier after they had
. moved from the neighborhoods of gloom,
crime and despair Their wives came In
contact with respectable women, and
their children associated wltb children of
better morals.
No longer were tho policemen obliged
Jo respond to the beck and call of somo
cheep, sordid waid heeler or political
boss. They were not tailed upon to servo
as stool pigeons and henchmen for organ
ization ottjclala. The removal took them
from tho disagreeable entanglements of
cheap, pet'y po'ltlca. Their soi duty
was to honestly serve the public by giv
ing a faithful service as policemen.
Man) f the policemen moved Into the
outskirts' of the cll and purchased llt-
tlo homee home.- whero they have been i
sou. ;o Maintain smalt gaiuens and keep
Chickens A good many of the "coppers'
have their .homes paid for and others

WILSON'S CHAXCBS HURT BY
DEFENSE THUS FOES SAY
Clark's Friends Boom Speaker for tho
t Presidency
WASntN'OTON, Feb. 1 -besplle all re
ports from tho country to the contrary,
Democratic member of tho ttouso op
posed to the President's policy of prepared
ness expressed tho beliof that the llxecu
tlvo has lost ground since ho started on
his .spocchmaklng tour, and tho results
of his trip will not bo helpful to him
with the otots of his own party.
The leaders of this antl-prepavpdness
campaign chaMctoilm the ultPiaiic of
the President In his Pittsburgh nn,i
1 Cleveland speeches n calculated tu cast
, distrust upon the good faith of his Ad-
minuiiation in enuravorlng to nrerrve
peace
It Is admitted that a movement Is on foot
among those members, who aro opposed to
the President's Idea of national defense to
bring about tho nomination of Speaker
Champ Clark at tho Democratic National
Convention, to be held In St. Louis on
Juno 14. Congressmen who havo dis
cussed this phase of tho political situation
argue that the Speaker never has been in
favor of n largo standing army or n for
midable navy, nnd they believe that lie
more nearly represents the views of thoso
who are behind (lie peace propaganda.
Tho antiprcparedness element In the
lower branch of Congress figures that It
can count on tho support of between 80
and 100 Democratic votes against the
President's plnn to place the country on
a substantial defense basis, ready tu
meet any emergency which may nt'ise. '
"Of course, wo do not Intend to make
their names public," said ono of tho nntis.
"We aro not going to furnish tho enemy
with any Information which would help
tho campaign for preparedness. But there
will bo some surprises when tho question
comes to a vote."
Majority Leader Kltchln Is helping the
fight agnlnst tho preparedness program
of tho President. He persistently calls
attention to tho fact thnt greater taxes
must be paid If tho country would havo
a larger navy and a larger army.
Governor Craig, of North Carolina, who
has been hero several days, said that M
per cent, of tho North Carolina people
ara for the President and ngulnst Mr.
Kltchln in his opposition to the national
defenso program.
In reply to Governor Cialg. Mr. Kltchln
said:
"The Governor may be right that DO per
cent, of tho North Carolinians arc against
me, but I notice the Governor failed to
state what per cent, favor the Piestdcnt's
program of taxation to finance tho billion
dollar five-year increase in the at my and
navy.
"I am in favor of picpntcdness Hut
there Is a difference between a hysterical
and a reasonablo pieparcdncsa. I favor
the same kind of preparedness that Presi
dent Wilson, Secretary Daniels, Admiral
Fletcher, Commander ol the Atlantic
fleet, the man who may have to do tho
lighting, and the Democrats in tho House
and Senate favored leis than a year ago
and which they deciated met tho full
needs of this country
"This program was tho l.ngest In the
history of our Government. I think it
wisest and best to pioceed with our iegu
lar program, which was making tho navy
stronger and mole elliclent over year, and
which, If adopted now, would not demand
a dollar extra appropriation oer tho reg
ular army and navy expendltuie. This
program gave uh two dreadnoughts, ouo
or two battle cruisers. IS to 23 aubmti

WASHINGTON. Feb. l.-Thc peace and
nnti-prcpnredness advocates, headed by
William J. Bryan, are prepailng to follow
the President's exnmple by bringing their
causo to the attention of tho public In
speechmaking expeditions, according to
Representative Bailey, of Pennsylvania,
friend of Mr. Bryan and a member of tho
group.
Although It Is asserted that this speech
making activity on the part of Mr. Bryan
and others Is not to bo regarded as trail
ing tho President, the President's trail
will be crossed.
"I understand." said Mr. Bailoy, "that
Mr. Bryan will leave Miami about the
middle of next month nnd will go out
through the West, delivering speeches In
opposition to the preparedness or mili
tarist program. It is not proposed to use
a special train, as reported, but It Is quite
possible that Mr. Bryan will touch some
of the cities visited by the President. He
couldn't hardly miss them."
"Is Mr. Bryan going to trail'"
"I dun't see how you can call It 'trail
ing.' " said Mr. Bailey. "Mr. Bryan was
out speaking before the President started,
and since lust summer he has delivered
speaches from coast to coast. He can't
be accused of trailing tho President, for
ho was thcie first. I do not understand
that .Mr. Bryan will have any regular
itinerary, but lie Is liable to go almost
anywhere, and natiirallv will rccross his
own path of lust summer and cross the
recent path of the President."
Sir. Bailey said that other anti-preparedness
speeches will be delivered by
Representatives Saunders, Hensley, Dies,
Tavenner and SIaden. The latter, he
said, left for Cleveiund last night to make
an "antl" speech.
