gent men of German blood.-New York Sum-
General Frederick Funston, the hero of many battles and numerous adven'


 of many battles and numerous adven-
 lures, the idol of the FUNSTON'S people of Kansas, and LATEST the most romantic ACHIEVE figure of the Philippine MENT. war, has brought hos
 tiities in the far east may be assumed that with the capture of Aguinaldo the fighting is practic- ally over. Regardless of any embar- rassments that may attend the dispo- sition of the prisoner the taking of Aguinaldo at this time will have most disheartening effect upon his followers. At no other period of the Philippines operations would the capture of the leader have been SO nearly a conclusive achievement.
 The daring of General Funstons exploit can hardly be overestimated. Relying primarily upon the informa- tion and direction of natives. whose sincerity might easily have been sub ject of misgiving, and entering a re- mote territory, Funston and his little band took their lives in their hands. They stood a chance of suffering ami hilation or winning a great victory. It is not often that the hazards and the glories of war are reduced to such clearly defined alternatives. Yet of all the men upon Uncle Sam's military staff at this time General Funston IS one of the most eager to seize such an opportunity and assume its attending risks. With a composure acquired in many dangerous experiences, with a courage that knows no faltering. he is an ideal soldier so far as fighting qualities are concerned.
 The news of General Funston's sue cess will cause rejoicing among his friends and admirers throughout the country. It will be especially gratify- ing at this time, for there has been d good deal of disappointment that the gallant Kansan did not receive briga- dier generalship under the reorganlza- ton of the army, and there has been considerable resentment of the efforts on the part of some of the regular stair to belittle his accomplishments. Even the undertaking that has just been SO successfully carried out was treated with a degree of scorn in some quar- ters where it should have commanded admiration. The previous publication of the plans was in no sense due to General Funston. When the news was given out Funston was far from Manila, and the presumption is that the success or failure of the scheme was at that time taken for granted, and the matter of publicity was sup" posed to have no' possible bearing upon the result. But it is inconceivable why anyone should have regarded the affair as unworthy the highest ambitions of soldier. Funston has never been spec tacular, He has been venturesome, but his bold maneuvers have invariably sought some important accomplish ment. Neither is he actuated merely by momentary incentives. His services in Death valley years ago. his ex plorations in Alaska, his connection with the Cuban army have shown that he is man of patience. fortitude and determination, as we'll as a fighter of startling impulses. It is strange, there fore, that this latest effort should have been misconstrued by anyone.

CROP CONDITIONS.
Condition of Winter Grain Is Good
 Nearly Everywhere.

vUosbinqton. May 1.-The Agricultural Departments summary of crop conoluons in Europe just issued Is as follows:
 With only one exception of much impor- tance. so far as is yet known, the condi- ton of the winter grain crops of Europe at the end of the winter ranged from falr to very good. The exception is the win ter wheat crop of Germany of which the condition was officially stated on April le at 36, a figure denoung an outlook con siderably below medium Moreover. near ly one-fourth of the areas sown was winter-killed and had to be plowed up and and devoted to other crops. The winter rye crop, however, which, in Germany Is considerably moro than twice as large as the wheat crop, has fared much better, the condition being above medium. and only 2s per cent of the area requiring to be plowed up.
 The area under winter grain in Russia was curtailed in some parts of the coun- try by drought in autumn. but there IS possibility that in the case of wheat the deficiency due to this cause may have been made up by the sowing of an extra breath of that grain this spring.
 In France, on the other hand, the area under spring wheat is smaller than last year.
 ID a large part of Europe. the spring season has been backward. but aside from this circumstance the spring crops appear as rule to have been put under fa1riy satisfactory conditions

Jasper, Ind, May u.-In a desperate battle with a deputy sheriff, George Reeves was shot to death tonight near Huntingburg while being taken from Jef- fersonville Reformatory to Jasper, where he and his brother John were to be placed on trial for a murder committed nearly twenty years ago. Sheriff Castrop ar- rived in Huntingburg with the prisoners in custody at o'clock tonight. In com- pany with Deputy Sheriffs George Cas- trop and John T. Huther, the prisoners were started in carriage to Jasper. Up to the time the carriage reached a point the prisoners gave the officers any trouble
 During the time required in covering this distance, however, the men had worked the handcuffs from their wrists and as the carriage started across a high bridge over the Patoka river. both men sprung to their feet and leaped from the carriage.
 John Reeves was quickly over taken, bound hand and foot, and again placed in the carriage Deputy Sheriff Huther fol- lowed in pursuit Of George Reeves.

 TALKS OF TNE B|C STEEL TRUST
Testimony Given Before the Industrial CommisSion-He is Opposed to Labor Organizations, Saying They Limit h.
 divduaIsCo Owns 80 Per Cent Northwest Ore.

Washington, May 11.-Charles M. Schwab. president of the United States Steel Corporation, was before the indus trial commission today. He said that the United States Company controls eight companies by owning their stocks, and that while steps are taken to assure the good will and cooperation of all these companies. each one generally is left to conduct business in its own way. The rule had been to take in only companies which were not competitors, but 1t was true that there were cases in which two institutions of the same line were brought together, and in such cases the managers were expected to get together in making their plans for sales.
 Enumerating the advantages of oonsoli- nation. MT. Schwab said they were found especially in transportation and manage ment and in the utilization of all the pres owned. ID this connection Mir. Schwab said that the United States Steel Corporation owns so per cent of the iron ore of the Northwest and he expressed the opinion that these ore deposits must constantly grow in value because limited. The company makes from 65 to 75 per cent of the steel products of the country. He also said there had been no increase in the price of products since the organization of the United States Steel Compay and that the tendency is towards lower prices.
 Discussing the tariff Mir Schwab ex- pressed the opinion that in articles of manufacture in which labor does not en- ter as an important factor the tariff might be removed. thss in products into which labor enters largely, such, for i'm .114N 1~ sary either to reduce wages or lose trade If the tariff were removed. He thought that except on the Pacific the removal of the tariff would not interfere With the steel rails and billets.
 Harmony Prevails.
 Asked in detail for the plan of manage mept of the various companies combined in the steel company, MT. Schwab said it is the purpose of the parent company to control the subsidiary organizations in harmony, but this is to be done by indi- eating the officers of the various con cerns There may not be so many names of influence on the boards he said. but the management will be efficient"
 MT. Schwab excused himself from speaking concerning the details of the organization of his company once or twice, saying that questions concerning rapitalization premiums, etc., should be asked of MT. Morgan.
 T don't know the steel trust" he said when some one so designated his com pany. In general way he would say that the Company Is organized upon the same plan as the Federal Steel Company, but he did not consider the company over capitalized. He said the assets of each of the subsidiary companies had in creased in value since their organization and that the popular estimate did not place sufficient value upon the mines
