DIR. JAMESON TELLS OF SlTUA.

GEN. CRAFFEE A HERO
His Brusque Manner and Energy n

Relief-Other Massacres Likely

ures VITA Chinese.

Chicago, May &c. D. Jameson, the
American engineer who guided the
British troops on the relief march to
Pekin, is registered at the Auditorium
Annex. With him are his wife and
son. He is On his way to London,
where he will spend month and then
return to China by way of Siberia,
where he is to look after mining inter
ests. Mr.. Jameson spoke inter
estingly on General Chaffee, Minister
Conger and the future of China.
"Chaffee was the wonder and admi-
ration of the foreign troops" he said.
"He showed his mettle the night he
reached Tientsin. There was con-
ference of the generals and Chaffee
without preliminary talk asked when
the others would be ready to march to
Pekin. Russia thought in week or
two, Germany in a week and the
others in about four days. They
asked him when he would be ready.
Tomorrow morning. Chaffee re,
piled. And when the others said it
was impossible to get ready SO soon
Chaffee said: We'll, my instructions
are to relieve Pekin and my idea of
the best way to relieve it is to go
there. And l go tomorrow
"The rest gasped for breath and
rushed to their commands. There
were all kinds of hustle and the
troops started the next day.
VOL
was due to Chaffee having a new
stenographer who did not know how
to tone down the rigorous talk of the
general, who, as his friends know, is
very fond of explosives. The result
was the letter was sent as dictated,
for Chaffee signed it without reading
it. Naturally Waldersee objected to
the tone, but stuck to the meaning
Then peace was sealed by love feast

general came all the troops, foreign az

correspondent, told me he considered

what about the future of China

danger of another massacre?" he was
asked.

EASTMAN'S DEFENSE BEGUN.
Attorney For Harvard Professor
Charued With Murder States Case.

Charged With Murder States Case.
Cambridge, May 5.-The defense at
the Eastman murder trial completed
the outline of it's case and during the
half days session placed four witness
ses ON the stand to support it's con-
tention that the relations between the
two men were not only intimate but
cordial
The interest of the day, however,
was the outline of the principal points
of the case made by Attorney Bartlett,
counsel for the defense, and his ex-
| PLANTATION of how the shooting oc-
| Cured. He did not attempt to elabo-
rate the explanation or to combat the
government theory that the killing
was done by centre-fire bullet, except
| to say the bullet which was produced
at the trial was at the request of the
defense shown to the cartridge expert
last October, and that the expert
placed a private mark on the bullet
which cannot now be found on that
| produced in court.

New Glarus, May An election
will be held here tomorrow to decide
whether or not New Glarus will incor-
porate as a village The site has
been plated and will be one by one
and one-Quarter miles in extent
1t is believed that the population in
this territory will reach 600. There
is a general desire on the part of the
citizens to govern themselves and
there is little doubt but that the incor-
poration will be carried.
The township of New Glarus was or
gained in 1851. the first settlement
being made by % families who came
from Canton Glarus Switzerland, land
ing here August Is, 1916, having sea
voyage of 4S days. After a tedious
trip westward from Baltimore, the
pioneers finally found the land that
the two experts who had been sent
from the old country to look up To-
cation, had selected for them. These
men had travelled over the fertile
and it is yet considered strange that
they should recommend these stony
hills and trough like valley for a set
Element of the people whose agents
they were.
The similarity of this region with
landscapes in the mother country is
perhaps the most plausible explana-
ton. Not one of the pioneers knew
how to handle a pillow, SOW wheat,
plant corn, build a grain stack or do
anything that is in the ordinary work
of the American farmer. But they
could tend cows and that ability has
brought wealth and prosperity to the
families of these hardy pioneers, and
stimulated the dairy industry to such
an extent that Green county is now
the banner cheese county of the
state.
Father Time has dealt heavily with
the heads Of the original families and
| the recent death of Mrs Rosina LegleI
at the age of 80 removes the last OF
the female side of the early pioneers
| Of the men, Hilarius Wild, who is al
present living in the town Of York. is
the only surviving adult settler.
New Glarus has a new $4,000
school house, a handsome church just
| built, fine new hotel, substantial
| bank, a number of good stores, be
sides a big department store that vii
be built this season. A brewery an6
several saloons furnish the popular
beverage for the Swiss people, who
with the exception of a few families
comprise the whole village. Since the
extension of the st. Paul road from
Brodhead to this place, the business

| tus, as before that time it was from

to secretly investigate into any fraud,
or crime affecting his fam
lily, his business, or his property
paid agent Of his own,
whether licensed or unlicensed. The
success of such investigation might, N
many matters, depend upon the Sc
crecy to the extent that the person
employed be unknown IS detective;
yet, under this bill, he must be IL
censed or employed by licensed per-
son. 1t may be that the object of the
investigation, in some cases, is to in
quire into and ascertain the facts
about things done by the officers II
the law and detectives selected by
them.
1T is apparent under the privisions
of this bill that such an investigation
could not be carried on without the
knowledge and perhaps the collision
of such officers and their employees. 1t
would seem to be conclusive that no
person would pay a hundred dollars
for license in any city without re-
JUN LllS oil Ol1C6 vi p4SlNS VI Ouoii1Coo
in such city To be entitled to this
he must first get the approval Of the
chief of police of the city, so that the
whole service as to any given city
would be placed under the control OF
the police department. This would
effectually guard the department from
any secret or systematic investigation
into its affairs.
cit might be desirable, or even nee
essary, to investigate into the affairs
and doings of the police department
of a city of the first class, and yet, IN
der this bill, no such investigation
could be made, even by licensed de-
tective from any place outside of the
city without the permit or approval OF
the chief thereof The bill would
seem reasonably to fortify the chief
and police department of cities of this
class from any effectual investigation
No outside detective could go into the
city to follow his calling without the
permit or approval of the chief, as be-
fore stated, and no detective agency
could be established within the limits
Of the city without the approval of
such chief. There seems to be no
good reason why the detective of a
city of the first class should be per.
mitted to carry on his calling any
where in the limits of the state with.
out approval or permit from anybody
and the detective from other parts OF
the state barred from doing his work
within the limits of cities of the first
class, without permit or approval OF
the chief of police thereof. The
scheme of the whole bill seems to be
uncalled for and pernicious, without
justification, with no tendency to in
any way make more efficient the good
of the service.
Its purpose would seem to be tc
create trust in this business, which
| Of all others should be uncontrolle[
and unhampered by any combination
or any opportunity for collision OF
conspiracy. No such trust ought to b.
sanctioned by law. For these reason!

YALE WILL ENTER.
Eastern University Will Compete in
Games at Buffalo.

New Haven, Conn, May 7.-Yale's
track athletic leaders have decided to
enter practically a full team at the
Pan-American exposition games in
Buffalo about June 1. Two men will
be selected in nearly every event, a
total Of about twenty competing. This
will probably be the largest delegation
sent from any American university.
The Yale team will be composed of
the athletes who win the leading
places at the Yale-Harvard dual games
here next Saturday.
Practically the entire team will be
kept in training till after the Pan
American games, which will form the
final practice event for Yale in pre-
paration for the games with Oxford
and Cambridge in September. Yale
will enter almost exactly the same
team at the Buffalo and English uni
versity games.

PURPLE PITCHER Ill.
Johnson, the Star TWirIer Suffering
From Gastritic.

Chicago, May THE North
western university baseball team
will probably lose the SER
vices of it's star pitcher, Alton John
son, for two weeks or more. Last
Saturday on the way to Madison to
play the University of Wisconsin, he
was taken sick and it was with great
misgivings that DR.. HOLSTER allowed
him to go in and pitch the game. In
the fifth inning ne became so weak
that he was forced to give up although
he gamely tried to stick it out After
leaving the box he tainted and had to
be carried to the train.
He was taken to his home in Chi
cago and DR.. HOLSTER pronounced his
ailment acute gastritis. He will be
unable to leave his bed for at least a
week and will not be able to play for
another. Meanwhile, Jackson will do
the slab work and Hard will return to
third base. This will weaken the
team greatly as Hard was not a sue
cess at third.

PRESIDENT TO CONTROL MILITIA
Colonel Sanger investigating PROPOSE
ton Urged by Guardsmen.

Washington, d. c., May IF pos
sible, the war department will maxi
state militiamen subject to the direct
order of the president insead of the
respective governors. as they now are.
Under present conditions such a regu-
lation would be violation of state
rights. For this reason it is probable
that legislation will be asked of con-
gress at the next session. The bill
will be prepared at the war depart
ment, in accordance with an investiga-
ton now being made by Colonel San
ger, assistant secretary of war. Sug-
gestions are coming from national
guardsmen all over the country, which
will be embodied in the forthcoming
plan.
One of them proposes that the
militia should be under the orders of
both the president and the governor
of the particular state. This would
require legislation on the part Of the
state recognizing the right Of congress
to regulate the affairs of its home
guard To be effective the action of
the various states must be uniform
and unanimous.
