STRONG MEASURES ADVISED
Bill for Law Regulating Conduct
of Cadets Will Be
Submitted.

Washington, Feb. 6-The special
committee OF the house which investi-
gated hazing at West Point has prac-
tically completed it's labors and has
finished its report and the bill which
will be presented as a remedy for the
evil. Both bill and report will be
presented to the house as soon as they
can be printed.
The committee held an extended SEES
sion today, going over the report and
discussing the terms of the proposed
legislation. The recommendations
will be very stringent, and it is said
that today's action of the senate in
providing for expulsion from the
academy and ineligibility for army
appointment as exceedingly mild, COM
pared with the legislation proposed by
the special committee.
While the committee withholds the
details of the report until it can be
presented to the house, it is under
stood the recommendations are along
lines heretofore indicated, embracing
expulsion for hazing or for sending or
accepting a challenge, or for any par
ticipation in a challenge or it's results;
closer association between academy
officers and cadets with a view to
placing full knowledge Of what is 60
ing on within the range of the Off
cials, and increased responsibility for
the action Of cadets and ineligibility
for reappointment rs cadet or for APP
pointment to the army in case of dis
missal for hazing.
The details of the provisions are
understood to give them additional
force.

Lacrosse, Wis.,. Feb. Ga case
which promises to provide material
for one of the most remarkable stories
of mysterious parentage on record and
which involves title to St. Francis
hospital and St. Rose de Vitrebes con-
vent in this city and property in Du-
buque, Ia, and Ashland and Sparta,
Wis, valued at $500, 900, has developed
here.
Michael Leinfelder, a distributing
clerk in the postofice, nearly 40 years
of age, was informed recently that the
late Joseph Anthony Leinfelder was
not his father, as he had supposed, but
his uncle, and that his true name was
John Hall. He was also informed
that Mrs. Hall, whom he had always
regarded as his aunt, and who had be-
come Sister Antonio in the local CON
vent, was in reality his mother and
that she had built the convent and
local hospital and also owned valuable
property in Ashland, Sparta, and Du-
buque, which other people claim, but
which r%ightfully belongs to Lem
fielder, OF Hall.
The story is accredited to the Rev.

DESIRED BY
PRESIDENT
CONSIDERATION OF CUBAN
CONSTITUTION.
AN OFFICIALS OPINION
Executive May Withdraw Troops
Without Submitting Mat
ter to Congress.
AN OFFICIALS OPINION

Washington, Feb. Cit was admit
ted today by a high official of the gov
eminent that the administration
earnestly desires consideration Of the
Cuban constitution before adjourn
ment Of the present session of congress.
The official who made this statement
said that no official representations
had been made to the Cuban conven-
ton, but that the delegates had been
informally advised as to the views of
the president on the subject. General
Woods remarks to the Cuban dele
gates who called on him yesterday
were in line with this policy.
The official further said that the
provisions of the constitution as final
ly agreed upon would determine to a
great extent the character of the &C
ton Of this government. While it
was extremely desirable to have con
gress pass upon the constitution, he
said it was possible that it might be SO
satisfactory in its provisions that, re-
CARELESS Of the date Of its submission,
the president might not deem it neces
sary to call congress together in extra
session to pass upon it.
According to his understanding it
was clearly within the legal rights Of
the president to withdraw the troops
from Cuba when he was satisfied that
the country was pacitied and a compe-
tent, stable government was estab-
lished, without submitting the matter
to congress.
The speaker made it perfectly plain,
however, that the relations between
the governments Of Cuba and the
United States must be clearly defined,
either in the constitution or in some
other satisfactory way before the
United States will consent to with
draw entirely from the government of
the island.
Secretary Root said this afternoon
that he had no idea when the Cuban
convention would finish it's work or
what action would devolve upon the
government of the United States with
respect to it, as ever ything depended
upon the terms Of the constitution
itself.

| R KILLS MANY.
Burning Petroleum Magazines Cause Loss
of Life.

Baku, Russian Trans Caucasia, Feb.
6-Fire broke out yesterday in the
magazines Of the Caspian and Black
Sea company, which contained 6, 0O0,-
900 pools of petroleum.
The conf1agration resulted in great
loss Of life and widespread damage.
The flames spread to other depots
having a capacity of IL, 900, 900 pools
of naphtha, which poured out like a
stream of lava, inundating and setting
fire to the dwellings Of the workmen,
which were totally destroyed.
Many PRISONS persisted. Twenty
charred bodies have been found, and
upwards of so people are terribly
burned. Four hundred families lost
everything they possessed.
The magazines are still burning and
neighboring reservoirs are in great
danger. A general panic prevails.
Eight naphtha springs belonging to
the Melikoff, Ralsik and Caspian COM
panies caught fire February 8.

A. CHURCH ROW.
Colored Congregations Novel Way to
. Prevent Split.

Topeka, Feb. 6-The members of
the colored Baptist church in Usage
City are engaged in a war to see which
is the stronger and as a result a part
ly finished church is in ruins.
Some time ago some of the members
left the church and Immediately
started to build another worshipping
place. This did not suit the other
members and they went there in full
force with their axes and hatchets and
demolished the building. The carpen-
tiers arrived by this time and many Of
the ne groes were seriously hurt for
their pains.

TWO IMPORTANT MEASURES
War Revenue Reduction and Mill.
tary Academy Appropriation
Bills Disposed Of.

Washington, Feb. 6-Two import
ant measures were disposed Of by the
senate today, the military academy
appropriation bill and the war revenue
reduction measure.
The former was under consideration
less than all hour. The only change
made in it was strengthening of the
provision against hazing at West Point.
During the remainder of the after
DOR session the war revenue reduction
bill was before the senate. A deter
mined, but unsuccessful effort was
made to reduce the tax on bank checks
and to provide that telegraph and ex-
press companies should bear the
burden of the tax on messages and
packages sent.
The nance committees amendment
levying a tax on transactions of So
called ''bucket Shops" modifying the
tax upon cigars and cigarettes and
providing for a rebate on unbroken
packages of tobacco, in addition to
several others of minor character,
were adopted.
line substituting an IN
come fax for the war revenue meas
ure, offered by Morgan of Alabama,
was rejected by a party vote Of 81 to
80.
Beginning at 8 O'Clock this evening
the first of the proposed night sessions
was held to discuss the ship subsidy
bill. The entire session was devoted
to a fund of intellectual py1otechnics.
Practically every subject that is, or is
likely to be before the senate was dis
cussed, but little time was devoted TO
the ship subsidy bill.
The principal speeches were made
by Jones Of Arkansas and Aldrich of
Rhode Island. The Arkansas senator
was denunciatory in his u%tterances of
the methods of the majority to force
the bill, and Aldrich was as keen and
vigorous in its defense.
From a spectacular view the session
was interesting and the sharp col
loquies and snappy speeches were
hugely enjoyed by those on the floor,
and by the large crowds in the gal
leries.

These are sweet words, but how much
pain and suffering they used to mean. It's
different now. Since Mothers Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much of the anguish of child
birth. Mothers friend is liniment to be
applied externally. 1t is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles Of the abdomen. 1t gives
elasticity and strength. and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mothers Friend Is
never taken internally. Internal remedies
at this time do more harm than good. II
