SAYS 1T IS TRUE.
Mrs. Frederick Lehn Replies to An
swer Of Her Husband.

The old saying that woman will al
ways have the last word was exem-
plified in the district court when Mrs.
Frederick Lehn filed a reply to the ans
wer of her husband in the divorce suit
now pending between them. In the
document she denies the allegations Of
her husband to the eject that she was
guilty of intimacy with one Antoine
Fischer or anyone else or that Fischer
and herself conspired together to get
him out of the way. Further. she says
he assaulted her in Great Falls at the
time she claimed he did and broke two

it and taken before thee curt he pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to Jail for

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
Bitter Fight Over Some of the Larger
Appropriations.

Washington. March IA protracted
conference struggle on the river and har-
Dor bill is promised Ths conferences
began Informally even before the house
conferees were appointed. But as there
are 299 items of difference. some of them
up to the million dollar mark. there is
little prospect of even a partial agree
ment before tomorrow or Sunday. The
matter was further complicated by the
reference of the bill back to the river
and harbor committee. but Chairman
Burton Immediately called meeting
and hopes to begin the formation of
amendments during the day. The Boston
harbor, Buttermiik channel, New York.
Curtis bay. Baltimore harbor. Galveston
channel. Oakland and San Pedro har-
bors and the Allegheny Big Sandy and
Brazos rivers and the arid land reser-
voirs are among the chief items causing
serious division. .

KEEP ONLY SMALL
GUARD AT PEK|N
BLUE COATS WILL 60 TO THE
PHILIPPINES-OTH pow,
ERS MAY LEAVE.

Washington. March l.-Carrying tout
partment when 1t changed it's military
force in China into a legation guard,
the war department has sent orders to
General Chaffee to still further reduce
his Iorce. 1ne general has now uIuer
his command about 1880 men composed
of troops l. X, l. and NJ. Sixth cavalry,
battery F., Fifth artillery and the Ninth
infantry. Although nominally a lega-
ton guard. General Chaffee's force is
rather a formidable offensive quantity,
and not being DESTROYS of retaining an
unnecessary menace to the Chinese
court and in order to hold out induces
ments for it's early return to Pekin. the
United States government some time
ago determined upon further reduction
of the American force and the orders
went forward. Considerable discretion
was left to General Chaffee in the selec-
ton of the troops to remain, and it is
assumed at the department that the
Peki ndespatches announcing that these
consist of two companies of the Ninth
infantry under Major Robertson is COR
rect. If the other powers represented
at Pekin can be induced to follow this
policy, it is hoped that a long step will
have been effected toward the restOra-
ton of normal conditions at Pekin.
1t is said at the war department that
the arrangements have not been made
for bringing the troops from Pekin and
it is believed that this cannot be done
before the ice clears out of the Pei Ho
river. which is usually some time in the
latter part of March. The troops are to
go to Manila, thereby making good the
losses which General MacArthur's COM
mand will sustain through the with
drawal of the volunteers who are COM
ing home to be mustered out. 1t is un-
derstood at the war department that
General Chaffee. who will leave Pekin
with these troops. is to relieve General
Macarthur of the supreme command in
the Philippines.

The Hospital Appropriations

Editor Morning News: 1 noticed in
the report of the meeting of the Coun-
ty Commissioners when the tax rate
was increased, that they gave one rea-
son as an additional 81 900 to the hos
pital appropriations.
If the members of the honorable
board will take the trouble to look up
the statistics of the various hospitals
they will doubtless find that they are
paying about $4,000 more than it is
worth to care for the county patients
treated in the hospitals.
doubt II there is an average of two
county paupers treated in each hospi-
. tai per day. Barring the boys from the
Bethesda Orphanage now treated at the
Park View Sanitarium, 1 do not believe
there is an average of one.
l think that if the honorable board
of County Commissioners would follow
DR.. Burners practice, and have each
of the hospitals make monthly report
of the county patients treated, they
will soon make big reduction in the
hospital appropriations, and probably
divide the money equally.
