MUST BE PROGRESSIVE Representative Gardner Insists on Less "Conservative" Legislation Washington, D. C., Jan. 2u.—Aban donment of the policy of undevlating conservatism and the enactment of legislation on the modern lines of other great nations were urged on the conference of Republicans of the House of Representatives last night by Representative Gardner, of Massachu setts. As a concrete legislative pro gram for the party Mr. Gardner sub mitted the following items: T'nemployment insurance. Old age insurance, either state or national. Minimum wage for women and chil dren. Eight-hour day for women and chil dren, with no overtime. Compulsory arbitration of all trans portation disputes. Compulsory military training. Immediate preparedness. The budget system. Elimination of "pork" in river and harbor acts and public buildings acts. "The brains are on our side of the house," said Mr. Gardner, "and the people, I believe, know that fact per fectly well. The Democrats spend money like sailors, but for all that-the people will retain them in power in spite of Democratic incompetence if we turn our backs 011 liberal legis lation." Mr. Gardner then proposed the se lection of a committee of live to report in ten days a. tentative plan of action for the Republicans of this House to recommend to the Republicans in the incoming House. He advocated also a conference of Republican representa tives elect of the Sixty-fifth Congress just before the next session begins. Ex-Senator Bourne Flays Opponents of Adams as National Committee Official Washington, D. C., Jan. 25. Mak ing a plea for issues and not for in dividuals, and scoring attempts of cer tain men to dictate the personnel of the management of the Republican party, former Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., president of the Re publican Publicity Association, came out in defense of the selection of John T. Adams, as vice-chairman of the Republican National Committee in a statement yesterday. Mr. Bourne attributes the attack against Adams as without any grounds other than a desire of the opponents that one of their number should be in the place of rule, and declares that a continuation of the frictions of the 1912 and 19lfi will merely serve to perpetuate Democratic control. President's Ideals of Peace Bitterly Scored; "Unconscious Catspaw" New York, Jan. 25.—James M. Beck, author of "The Evidence in the Case" and "Germany in the Supreme Court of Civilization," made an address at a luncheon of the Pilgrims, held at the Bankers' Club yesterday, criticising President Wilson's peace address to the Senate. Mr. Beck said that the President was the "unconscious cats paw" of Germany. "With all respect to his great office, I assrt that he is following a mirage and not facing a reality. In this stu pendous war there will be no peace without victory. One or the other group of nations will triumph, and upon the nature of that triumph the whole welfare of civilization for the future will necessarily depend. I have no doubt as to the character of that triumph. It will rest with the heroes of the Marne, of Ypres and of Lem berg. "It is true, as the President says, that ordinarily a victory imposed upon the vanquished leaves behind it re sentments and bitter memories which are ill calculated to bring about per manently peaceful relations, but the present war is of that nature that by no conceivable possibility can good will among nations be its outcome for at least another generation." XOTED CONVICT OtJT OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT Boston, Mass., Jan. 25.—Jesse Pom eroy, who has been for forty-three years in solitary confinement in the state prison at Charlestown, was granted equal privilege with other prisoners by the State Executive Coun cil yesterday. Convicted of murder at fifteen, Pomeroy two years later was locked in a cell lighted from a window in the ceiling so that he might not gaze on his fellow men. He was ex ercised apart from other prisoners and barred as far as possible from human companionship. Two years ago the sentence was enforced less rigor ously to accord with modern ideas of prison reform. Pomeroy was con victed of the brutal murder of two children. $1,931 SHORE TAXES SAVED FOR BROTHER OF PENROSE Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 25.—Re ductions in valuations upon three large tracks of Meadow land and a block of beach frontage adjoining the Hotel Ostend, in Chelsea, amounting altogether to $82,364, have been granted to Dr. Charles B. Penrose, of Philadelphia, brother of Senator Pen rose, by the county board of tax equal ization. The county board, despite protests from city assessors, who con tended their ratings were iustiiied by the increasing value of meadow prop erty, due to contemplated harbor im provements, cut Dr. Penrose's Meadow assessments from $134,700 to $84,536. The reduction In the unimproved beach front property was from $253,300 to $221,100. Dr. Penrose's saving in tax is $1,93 4. BRITAIN' FORBIDS FIRM TO MAKE V.
