prove basis for the codlhcation of the
laws Of nations in general
A committee matter that has aroused
general interest is the report of Cen
eral Rafael Reyes of Colombia on the
means of fluyial communication in
South America. II the contention of
General Reyes is correct to the effect
that only a comparatively few miles of
canal digging is necessary to connect
the Amazon system of rivers with the
Rio de la Platte system, undoubtedly
a most important fact for the future
development of a rich and virgin coun-
try has been propounded. The delega-
tons of the South American nations
interested in this matter intend to rec
ommend that their respective govern
ment make an appropriation for the
further investigation of the subject and
to hold an inter-fiuviaI congress at Rio
de Janeiro, in which all of those ma
tons viii be represented.
The Chilean party asserts that its
ideas have triumphed. since from the
very start the delegates Of Chile pro-
claimed themselves in favor of The
Hague treaties. and finally the action
Of the conference was to adhere to The
Hague conventions. On the other hand
it cannot be doubted that the advocates
Of compulsory arbitration in the con-
ference have scored a great diplomatic
victory in procuring admittance for
their convention embodying that prin-
clple. The difficulties with which they
had to contend were enormous.

TO STOP SLAUGHTER OF
WILD GAME ON RESERVES
Especial Correspondence

Washington, D. G., Jan. 15.-Represen-
JauVe Lacey OF Iowa, chairman Of the
house public lands committee. has had d
talk with the president and with Attorney
General Knox relative to desired legisIa-
ton for protection Of forest reserves and
the gid game they contain. The presi-
dent, who. as il is well known is de-
sirous Of protecting the wild game OF
the west, has encouraged Mr. Lacey I'm
his intention. and Attorney General Knox
mas given him written opinion on the
subject which viii be of interest in the
west where the question Of game -preser-
Tation is a live one. The attorney gem
eral says;
As to the public lands within a state
the government has all the rights of IN
individual proprietor, supplemented with
laws for the assertion Of these rights and
for the disposal and full and complete
management, control and protection OF its
lands.
Il am decidedly of the opinion that con-
gress may forbid and punish the killing
of game on forest reserves no matter
that the slayer is lawfully there and is
not a trespasser. And ] have no hesita-
ton IL expressing my opinion that con-
ish any and all kinds of trespass upon or
injury to the forest reserves, including the
trespass of entering upon or using them
for the killing, capture or pursuit Of
game
The attorney general suggests that leg
islation might be enacted providing for
arrest without warrant in cases Of hot
pursuit OF pOachers by rangers. deputy
marSdals and other peace officers, and
any public reserve with the intent TO kill
or c9Urllrp any game

SAW NO REAL DANGER
Chaffee Says Slaughter of Forty
eight Was Due to Over
confidence.

Manila, Jan. ia report has been
received here that a dugOut canoe in
which eleven men of company 1 Of the
Second infantry were travelling is miss
ing and is probably lost. 1t is be-
heved that the men either persisted OF
were captured.
General Cha1ee. in the annual report
which has just been issued, sums W
the situation from the military point
OF view by saying that the provinces
OF Batangas and Laguna in southern
LuzOn, and the islands Of Samar, Min
dorO and Cebu, constitute the disturbed
area in which bodies of insurgents in
force are to be found.
General Chaffee says the prol0nga-
ton of guerrilla warfare is due TO the
physical character of the country and
TO the nature Of the warfare carried on
by the insurgents who, in the same
hour. pose as friends and act as enc
mics; TO the humanity displayed by the
American troops. of which the insur-
gents take advantage; and 10 the fear
of assassination on the part of those
natives who are friendly disposed to-
ward the Americans, should they give
the latter information concerning the
movements or whereabouts of the in
surgents.
Municipal and provisional govern
ments are being organized. These gov
ernments have not yet received prac-
teal trial. They constitute the only
certain and reliable method of ascer-
tanning the progress Of the Filipinos
toward government.
According to the opinion of army Of
ficers, the disaster TO company c Of the
Ninth infantry at Batangas, Samar,
when forty eight men were killed, is
attributed to the too great confidence
of these men in the territory which
they assumed to be paCihed.
In the same report, Judge Advocate
GrOesbeck says the suppression OF
brigandage viii probably be one of the
most trying problems of the future. If
the military arm be left free 10 deal
with the marauders there is no doubt
of their final suppression But the
presence of the civil government com
plicates the situation considerably.
With the civil and military authorities
working in harmony, says Judge Groes-
beck. no evil results should be antici
pated.
General Wade has cabled from Cebu
that 800 insurgents surrendered on the
island of Bohul last Friday. The au-
thorities here say that this statement
is astonishing if accurate. as the secret
service had failed 10 learn of the eX-

HOW BEN HEYWOOD'S RIDE AND JOKE
HELPED HIM LAND A GOVERNMENT JOB

When Big Ben Haywood went 10
Washington TO cinch his appointment
as success TO United States Marshal
Glen Miller, he was no stranger to the
PRESIDENT. BY his ready wit Mr.. Hey
wood had already made a distinct hit
with the chief executive. IT happened
when President Roosevelt, then a can
didate for vice president, came 10 Salt
Lake and made his famous charge
ur the Alta club hill.
After the surrender il was decided
that Colonel Roosevelt should take q
horseback ride by way of showing his
Utah admirers that he could sit steady
IN the saddle. It viii be remembered
that large cavalcade had escorted
the candidate from the depot. The best
looking horses and men were in the
front ranks, and the cayuses in the
rear.
While Colonel Roosevelt was in the
Alta club the van of the horsemen had
gone west on Brigham street, ana only
the Tag end was left. Roosevelt never
looked around him when he mounted
his horse. but set of east on Brigham
street at mad gallop. Haywood saw
the kind of company he was keeping.
so he dashed out First South street
and overlook the colonel and his troop

at Eighth East. There he called a
hal.
Hold up. colonel" he said. 4 see
you have been cut out into the wild
bunch"
Report has it that the candidate
laughed 50 heartily he nearly fell of
his horse. Being a stockman himself.
II didn't take an air drill TO get the
joke into his head.
Most Utah people know what the
wild bunch" is without any diagram.
But for the benefit of those who may
be uninitiated, it may be well 10 ex-
plain. When a cattleman runs across
a steer or other animal that is so
mad0eningly perverse as to be beyond
all control. he turns that animal into
the wild buhch.' Such punches are
made up of the ranch outlaws, and are
summed and despised of all COW punch
ers- In the Haywood instance a too
literal construction must not be placed
on the definition. The so-called wild
bunch was wild only as regarded
the horses for the men We're in every
respect all right.
Mr.. Haywood and the president
doubtless had a reminiscent laugh over
the incident at the White House round
up the other day.
