Dix announced a conference Mwoen Mr. Murphy, Oaynor and hlmlf at tho to-night, ho had expected Mr. Murphy would ho there. But Mr. Murphy missed his train from flood Cround to Now York, thereby miffing his New York Central connection uliich would make it poaalblo for him to be tho overnight guest of Gov.

Dix at tho Executive Mansion. Mr. Murphy arrived in shortly before midnight and wpnt to the Hotol Ten Eyck. Ho aent word that he would see the Governor to-morrow. Mayor tlaynor and Mrs.

Gaynor arrived in Albany on the second Empire Express from Now York at 4 o'clock this afternoon and went directly to the Executive Man-lon, where they are to be the guests of Governor and Mrs. Dix over to-moYrow. (Shortly after Mayor Gaynor's arrival Gov. Dix left the Capitol to go to the Mansion to meet his guests, Gov. Dix said that besides Mayor Oaynor and Mr.

Murphy he had also invited National Committeeman Norman E. Mack nf Duflalo to attend the conference on the Senatorship at tho Executive Mansion. The Governor said tJiat Mr. Mack had notified him that ho was leaving for Hot under tho enre of a nurse. He was badly run down physically and needed to go away immediately to recuperate.

Gov. Dix, in answer to inquiries, said that tho proposed conference nit tho Senatorship had been called at his suggestion. "1 got in communication with Mr. Mason, my secretary, from the woods on Saturday," sld the Governor, "and at my direction Mr. Mason extended tho invitations to Mayor Oaynor and Mr.

Murphy, which wero accepted by thnso gentlemen. Mr. Murphy I invited as tho leader of Tammany Hall nnd Mayor Oaynor as a prominent Democrat and Mr. Mack in his capacity as national committeeman." Gov. Dix was asked if he had invited W.

A. Huppuch as chairman of the Democratic State committee. The Governor said that ho had not, in Mr. Huppuch had resignod and there was no State chairman. The Governor was asked if he had any randidate in mind to suggest at the conference and said that he had not.

He was asked if Mayor Gaynor had not expressed a preference for John D. Kornan of Utica and he replied that he understood that after the retirement of Edwurd M. Shop-rd. Mayor Gaynor had mentioned the desirability of Mr. Kornan, largely because of the fact possibly that the Mayor and Mr.

Kernan were old neighbors yearn ago in Oneida county. The Governor said he understood that the Mayor came to the conference without my intention of advocating any particular candidate at tills time. Gov. Dix said that tho conference would not discuss anything except the Senator-ship, and that as it could not take place to-night it would be held to-morrow. Jr.

and Mrs. Oaynor will start back for Xtw York by the noon train. Iiov. Dix got back from his Adirondack trip to-day. Ho said ho was hopeful for a ctiwiig in tho Senatorship situation, but could not see where it was coming from.

American! Quarrel Otrr Nupiter Man With Gun WauniH lllmtelf. fptunl (M.Vf Uttpatch to Tm Scn. Paris, March 13. A supper crowd in the Cafe de la Paix was startled at 3 o'clock this morning by the reports of two revolver shots in the supper room. They wtre fired by a man who la a guest at the It it 7.

Hotel and who says he is Charles R. Dunbar of Alton, Hi. At first he gave the name of Iee, but it appears that this is rerlly the name of the man he fired at, William Logan Lee of Now York. Inquiries at the cafe leave the affair in a totally nebulous state. According to the early reports, Dunbar, who was dining with a womon, invited and a woman whose name is given as Miss I.onard to join him at his table.

It is said that he then urged his own companion to dance with Lee and that she refused. Lee is said to have become angered at this, a quarrel developed and Dunbar drew a revolver and blazed away. His first shot broke o'ne of the ceiling lights. A waiter rushed up and struck down his arm a he fired tho second shot, with tho result that the bullet ripped Dunbar's calf and ricochet! ing from the floor slightly wounded Lee. Dunbar was arrested and taken before a commissary of police, to whom ho gave his name and address.

He said that in the cafe he had assumed the name of Lee to avoid a scandal. Neither Dunbar nor Lee was seriously hurt. When released by the police officials Dunbar was taken to a hospital in his own automobile. His wound was dressed and then he went to the IJitz, whero it was said this evening that he waa too ill from his wound to see visitors. Mrs.

Dunbar, it was said, was nursing him. Lee had also been a guest at the Rltz, but had left the hotel during the day. The hotel managers said that neither of the men had ever stopped at the house before. RKCORHS Tur.yisr.Lvr.s With the Well Known Total Depratlty or Inanimate Objects.

Fmliti cabtt Unpnult in thk Him. London, March 13. -A week's discussion on imperial defence was Inaugurated In the House of Commons this evening bv John Archibald Murray Macdonald. I Liberal member for Falkirk Burghs. In troducing a motion lo the effect that the House viewed with alarm the increase In the expenditure on the army and navy and expressing the opinion that it ought to be diminished.

Mr. Macdonald, in speaking to the motion, dealt at first wllh navnl armaments. He argued that there was no necessity for Oreat Britain's two Power standard. The foreign relations of Oreat Britain had Improved. The people of this country and the domestic interests of the nation ought to be allowed to gain something from this change.

Joseph King, Liberal member for North Somerest, moved nn amendment to the effect that the House would welcome the establishment of international armaments. He expressed the hope that Sir Edward Grey, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, would make a peace mission to Berlin. Reginald McKenna, First Lord of the Admiralty, said in his reply that if there was no further amendment of the German navy law the British estimates for 1812-11 would show a reduction on the estimates for 1911-12, but he could give no pledge to that 'effect. Mr. McKenna said further that there would be no reduction until the Government waa positively Informed as to what would be the development of foreign navies.

He rebutted the arguments of the Radicals and Iaborites who had supported the motion and declared it to bo a necessity that the navy should be secure under all contingencies and that Great Britain should have the freedom of the ocean highways. The country, he waa sure, was not secure unless the navy waa supreme in Its superiority against any foreign navy or against any reasonably conceivable combination which the nation might have to meet without assistance from outside. The reason why the Government had not reduced the naval armaments was that Germany had increased her naval estimates by a tremendous sum in 1013 over those for 1911. Mr. McKenna entered into an extended comparison of the building programmes of Germany and England, but his arguments did not.

seem to appeal to the sup porters of the motion. They and other members continued the debate, in which Lord Charles Beresford, Mr. Balfour and other members of the Opposition joined. They demanded to know what the disagreements between the factions of Ihe Government had to do with the defence of the empire. If any blame attached to the Government, they said, it was for the fact that they wore not planning to build sufficient ships.

Sir Edward Grey, acting as tho Govern ment leader in the absence of Premier. Asquith, indorsed the position taken by Mr. McKenna and added that it was not to be inferred from the increase in the present estimates that Great Britain's foreign relations had become strained. He could say that the highwater mark of naval expansion had been reached, provided tho building programmes of other Powers so far as known to the Government were followed out. The Government, he said, was doing its utmost to promote good will on every hand.

He referred to the cordial relations which existed with France, Russia, Aus tria and Italy and to the German Chancellor's declaration in December in favor of a- frank and sincere exchange of views with Great Britain for the purpose of avoiding if poshibla a rivalry of armaments. He said that the Government heartily reciprocated tho feeling. The people would bo astonished," he went on, "if they could know how easy it hus been at tiny time within the last three years to discuss differences with Germany in frank spirit. The Powent of Europe are spoken of as forming separate groups. Yea, that is true, but gradually within the last five years at least things which might have brought those groups into opposition have been disap pearing.

He added that it was a paradox that armaments were increasing whilo Ihe nations were, as he believed, seeking good relations, but it was it greater paradox that the growth of tho enormous burdons of armaments coincided with the growth of civilization, Ah a whole It was the most civilized nations which were piling up their expenditures fustcat, and not against tho uncivilized, but In mutual rivalry. He continued: "Unless the incongruity and mischief of all this be brought home not only to the heads of men generally but to their feelings as well, so that they resent the inconsistency and realize the danger of this tremendous expenditure, the rivalry will continue and it must in the long run break down civilization. I You are having this gieat burden piled up in times of peace and if it goes on increasing by loaps and bounds us it lias done in tho last generation It will become Intolerable. There are those who think that it will lead to war precisely because it is already becoming intolerable. I think it much more likelv than the burden will be dissipated by an I internal revolution by a revolt of the nv Sy; ago nfler a lalk oer ilu- masses or men against taxation.

The six youngsters came in crates and saw not a drop of water nil the way nor had a bite to eat, yet they arrived as fat and1 healthy seemingly ns when they were raptured by Dr. Charles H.

The stx at tho Aquarium are only nlno months old and the males' noses haven't, grown much yet. The biggest weighs 300 pounds and the smallest 167.

Curator Osborne says that they are the largest of the seals and that the adult males reach a length exceeding twenty feet. Tho six youngsters were captured on Guadalupe Inland, off the coast of southern California. No one here knows what, a sea elephant eats and very little is known about his natural history In general. Mr. Osborne Is hoping that Dr.

Townsend will get a chance to examine a sea olephant's in ternal economy and send on word what's good for his tummy. Until he hears he is experimenting with fish, but yesterday the sea elephants were too busy enjoying their bath to bother much about feeding and they are so well supplied with natural fat that they don seem to miss a meal or two. They are not unlike sea lions, but they havo very largo and human looking eyes and much rounder heads. They didn't seem to mind being stared at yesterday and the largest male kept rearing himself up for another look at the queer animals that stood about his swimming hole look ing at him; 'FOR 93QO Forty Prlioners Escape From Ntratfortl. Calaboose.

Bridgeport. March 13, The town of Stratford has leen excited for two days over the contempt exhibited for its modern jail by several score of tramps who were hauled off trains by a squad or railroad policemen on tne bridge over the Houaatonic River. Deputy Sheriff Charley Stagg, chief of police and warden of the jail, is away on a vacation, and Cons' ible Palmer, who Is tho acting police force, didn't understand the fallings of the new 1300 lockup with its two cells. The result was that early yesterday morning, after about fifty prisoners had been led to the calaboose, the railroad policemen found the jail open when they returned with another batch and all the prisoners gone. Oirt Sunday about forty more tramps were rounded up in the same manner, and to-day while Justice of the Peace Peck was wall ingfor the prisoners to bebrought before him a shot was heard.

It turned out that one of the tramps had tried to escap through a rear window and had knocked out a constable who waa guarding the jail in the rear. The constable, Chester Donaldson, recovered from the kick he got in time to fire a shot to summon aid, but by the time help came seven more prisoners were out. Whilo one posse pursued the' escaping prisoners another surrounded the jail to prevent the others from going. Many shots were fired at the fleeing men, but no one was hit. Seven of the eight were recaptured but the man who climbed out first is still at large and is being hunted in the woods to-night ATTACK IIFX HVTLVR'S RFCORH.

Ilonton Want io Statue of the General on State House Grounds. Boston, March IS. Major Henry Higglnson, Col. W. B.

Hallowell, Moorfield Storey, James Ford Rhodes and some others whacked the military and private record of Oen. B. F. Butler, former Governor of Massachusetts, at a hearing today liefore a legislative committee on th proposition to erect a statue of him on the State House grounds. Major Higginson spoke with evident feeling.

"It is exceeding cruelty to Gen. Butler," he said, "on the part of his friends to seek this thing uguln. All tits failures and disgraces are matters of history. It is excessive cruelty to ak us to help pay for a statue. Ttie war is over, and we are extending our hands to our Southern brothers.

It's an insult to our State, it's an insult to the inhabitants of this country, it's an insult to the old soldiers. I hope wc shall have no more statues to soldiers." Mr. Rhodes, a historian, read a brief summary of HutlerV war record in which ho gave it as his opinion I hat as a General Butler was incompetent. "Butler used his position as Major-General," said Mr. Rhodes, "lo feather his own nest." He charged that during his occupation of New Orleans he allowed his brother lo carry on a trade of great profit in cotton and salt between the North and South.

"In Hfl2," he said, "when Butler went to Now Orleans ho was worth $100,000, In 1868 he was said to be worth M.UOO.Ouo," MARKHAM II ROT HK IIS MF.FT.

He Also Predicts Another Outbreak the Centime Summer He Wants the state to lltuli Ptoslclan to Study rases at the VtM of the Disease. Dr.

B. Sacks, the expert neurologist tf Bellevue, who was chairman of tho committee to investigate the various phases of tho epidemic of infantile paralysis which appeared, in this city In 1907, predicted in a paper read before tho Society of Medical Jurisprudence last night that there would be another epidemic this summer, for which tho State should prepare Ho told of tho epidemics of 1 90S and 1909, which were less virulent titan that of 1907! 1'hero is no cure known for the malady, but Dr. Sacks said Ihe best way lo learn attout It was to tuke individual cases for study when they were in the eany stages and ho advocated that the State establish "flying laboratories." These should consist of squads of comtietentty trained physicians who should bo prepared to rush to the scene of an epidemic and extract the valuable early serums from the spinal columns of the sufferers. Dr. Henry4W.

Berg, another well known neurologist, gave a description of just what the disease is and how it acts. He said that it struck the child like a thunder-clup. In apparently robust health the child goes to bed at night and in tho morning awakes paralyzed. At that moment, he said, tho dieeastt has reached its highest point and the recess of the attack of tho toxin sots in at once. Often the paralysis remains, but often it also gradually leaves the patient and full health is restored.

The poison, whether organic or chemical, ttie medical world does not yet know. It is ultrnmlcro-scopie andDr. Flexner of the Rockefeller Institute has demonstrated by his experiments on monkeys that It can pass through the finest filters known to man. Dr. Sacks in his paper spoke highly of the work carried on 'by Dr.

Flexner at the institute. He said that his work- with the monkeys had practically established beyond doubt the fact that the disease is infectious, though the medium of contagion has not been discovered. Dr. Smith Ely JellifTo in discussion said that Dr. Flexner had done morn In five years through animal experimen tation in this line than had tieen accomplished in 2.000 years.

Dr. Sacks emphasized the fact that the hysteria about the disease was without real cause. He said that it affected young children primarily and that the cases in older children and adults were cotmiaratively rare. The medical world, he said, had a great deal still to learn about it, but they knew enough to-day to make it possible to fight It successfully in many instances. It la not usually fatal and not malignantly contagious.

Dr. Sacks advocated the closing of schools In which one or more cases appear, Dr. JellifTe said that the closest ob servations of the disease in its exterior manifestation of paralysis had probably been made by the Dutch. Flemish and Italian painters of the early Renaissance period. He said there was proof that the disease existed in the first century of the Christian era.

He said that although little was known positively about the path of contagion yet thore wero facts, such as tho prevalence of the disease in certain trades, which gavo matorial to work on. It had been observed that trades wheroclothing.and especially shoes, were handled were open to tho disease. He said it had been proved almost beyond a doubt that foodstuffs had nothing to do with transmissions. Dr. L.

Pierce Clark emphasized the need of getting at the disease in Its early stages for tho purpose of studying it. He advocated Dr. Sacks's idea of "(lying laboratories" because of the fact that except for ttie paralysis there wits no known symptom to the disease. It was this, he said, which made it almost Impossible for the physicians to diagnose it until it was too late, for when the paralysis comes then the disease is over. The itaralysls is a result rattier than it symptom.

Dr. Borg took Issue with Dr. Sucks in several points of his paper, lie thought that too little was known as yet about the disease to mako it worth while to have the State establish Hying laboratories. He asked for a little titno for Dr. Flexner.

He did not lielievo with Dr. Sacks that schools fostered epidemics. He cited the epidemic of 19(17, which he said he had followed elosoly while it wa in progress, and he added that this had taken place, between July and October, showing that it had little to do with schools.

-The diplo matic situation growing out of tho massing of 20,000 near the Mexican border Is becoming more complicated. Tit- Mexican Government has lodged a pro test with the Slate Dopartment against the proposed activity of American naval vessels in Mexican waters and the United States has modified its plans, which con templated the patrolling of the Pacific and Gulf coasts of Mexico by American war vessels. This action, following Immediately upon representations by the Mexican Government, is accepted as evidence that the Taft administration is inclined to recede somewhat from the Impressive, military demonstrations so suddenly planned last week. 'Other evidences of a recently doveloped desire for caution also were apparent to-day. For instance, Major-Gen.

Leonarl Wood, Chief of Staff, was. very particular to-day to declare that none of the troops now at San Antonio, will go to the Mexican border. He also denied that a second manoeuvre division would tut created, and in fact asserted that present force of about 3,000 men now patrolling tho border would not be Increased. In view of the Administration' con-tention that the chief purpose of tiic movement or troops to Texas Is to preserve tho neutrality laws Major-Gen Wood's statement is puzzling, to say the least. The confusion is still further in creased by tho fact that just aboutthe tlm." Gen.

Wood was making his stntemen' Secretary of War Dickinson, his superior, was declaring over in New York that the troope were being sent "to the border" to maintain the neutrality laws. Neither the State Department nor tho Navy made any (announcement of the modification in the plans for the activity of American war vessels in Mexican waters until Sefior de la Harra. the Mexican Ambassador, had given out his statement In New York city! It wa acknowledged then that instructions had been sent by the Navy Department to the commanding officers of naval vessels hi Mexican waters directing them to cut shortthelrvisitsand to leave immediately The gunboat Yorktown, which wa' ordered two or three days ago to proceed from San Diego down the west, coast of Mexico, will make only a short stop at San Bias and will then proceed to wol coast. of Nicaragua. The Yorktown it now on her way southward along the Mx-icon coast.

The gunboat Princeton, whict has sailed for Panama from Salina on the west coast of Mexico, will proce to San Francisco. She also is at sa, l-ul her stop at Salina Cruz will be very briet On the 'Gulf coast of Mexico also thi American war vesaols will leave the Mexican ports without delay. The Tacoma, which was ordered north from Puerto Cortes, Honduras, with instructions t'i stop at Puerto Mexico, will remain at thi latter place only long enough to rep lenisb her coal and other supplies and will than proceed to Galveston. Tho Chester, which was ordered from Ponsacola to Vera Cruz, Tampion nnd Tuspan, will alas head north for Galveston. Mexico's ground of protest was undoubtedly the fact that tho presence of American war vessels lent color to t't statements that the chief purpose of the cruisers for the protection or American and other foreign property in Mexico.

The Mexican Government his deeply resented tho insinuation thaf it unabl't to cope with thi present situation, and the ordering of American vessel to certain Mexicirn ports which hail not heon visited for many years lias attracted th earnest uttention of European Governments. Apparently the Mexican Government feels that tho movements of tluwo naval vessels, when tikon in connection with the mobilization of ilv troop, are creating false impressio-i its own ability to handle th sit'uatio'i, Tho Mexican Government thoreforo too't tho position that the patrol of Americm war vessels along tho Mosican coin's was not only unnocpssary but harmful to tho interostslbf Mexico. This is the second time that the -Mexi-can Government has found it nccessivy within tho last two or three weeks to make a formal diplomatic protest to ttv United States in connection with the border tlifficulties. The first complain; was lodged with the Stato Depa-tment because Mexico felt that this Government waa not doing its full duty to prevent violations of tho neutrality laws. This protest on the p.vrt of Mexico had a good deal to do with the determination of President Taft and his advisers to hur.y SO.ooo troops to Texas nnd to send war vessels along tho Mexican coasts Tho Mexican Government now obviously believes that "the States has overshot the mark in responding to the former protest and is now eagerly desirous of an abatement in tho activity of tho United States army and navy do partments.

Major-Gon. Wood was very positive to-day in his statement thnt none of ttii; troops at an Antonio would be sont to the Mexican border. Ho was equally e'mphatio in declaring thnt the force now on tho border would not ho tncreasna. I In tho statomont which Secretary or I War Dickinson is quoted as having made In New York to-day ho said; "In order to maintain the neutrality 1 laws it tsis been deemed advisable to send troops to the border.nnd on nccount I of the Immense length of tho frontier and I the fact that tho Rio Grande can bo crossed at almost any point it larger niimlier of troops has Iteen despatched than would otherwise prove necessary I About the same tune thut Major-Gen. Wood was t.iaklni! hl statement another lor President Tuft's closest official advisers in Washington was saying that the real pi.rposo of the sending of the troops to Texas wa to maintain itie neutrality laws.
