ROOSEVELT DECIDES
NOT TO RETIRE MILES
Yields to Pressure and viii Allow
General to Remain His Full
Legal Term.

WASHIGTON, May president
Roosevelt has turned completely
about in the Miles case He has de-
cided to give no further consideration
to the retirement of the commanding
general, and will now permit General
Miles to serve until he shall retire by
operation of law.
The President at first listened to his
War Secretary, and decided to forcibly
retire Miles without delay. Secretary
Root was piqued at the testimony
General Miles gave before the Senate
committee on military affairs, which
had the effect Oh killing the secretarys
general staff bill.
The announcement of the Presidents
purpose to retire the general had no
more than been made, than many of
the most influential men in the Senate
and House began calling on the Presi-
dent and urging hi INTO reconsider.
Friends of General Miles. including
Senators Hoar, Hale and Allison, pro-
tested on the ground that such action
would be undeserved and cruel.
Friends Of the President in large
numbers implored him to recede from
his original determination, pointing
out that the consequences would be
serious politically. The President has
yielded to the tremendous pressure.

BRIGhHM'S PROGENY
WILL HOLD REUNION
More Than 1000 Persons Included
in Three Generations OF Great
Mormon's Descendants.

SALT LAKE, Utah, May 7.-Ar-
rangements were made today for the
first reunion of the descendants OF
the late Brigham Young, president OF
the Mormon church.
For the first time the number of the
descendants of the founder of the
church was announced by the family,
There were fifty-six children, forty
seven of whom survived Mr. Young.
From these sprang 294 grandchildren.
and there are 745 great-grandchildren.
This makes a total of more than l.0o0
descendants of a plap who has dieo
since the civil war, They are scat
tered in all parts of the world. some
by change of residence, some on mis-
sions and others travelling.
No building In Salt Lake is large
enough for the reunion, and 1t Will be
held in the open air. Despite the
great number of his children. the de-
scendants say that President Young
knew them all by name. Brigham's
young grandson said today:
Grandfather knew every one OF his
own children by name. He always
carried sugar in his pocket to give US.
He loved children
This does not agree with story that
Is currently believed. Just before ne
died. President Young met three little
boys on the street smoking cigarettes.
He stopped them and asked:
Don't you know you are committing
n sin to smoke? Didn't your safher
ever tell you this was wrongg
why, pa chimed In the three
boys, don't you know us!'
The Young family denies this story.

YUMA. Ariz.. May 7.~-George Fl.
Tucker. a mining prospector, who has
just returned from trip through the
Mojave and Colorado deserts. tells a
remarkable story OF the discovery of
petrifled man and burro In one of the
large salt fields that abound there
He tells this story:
One of the most desolate places in
the Colorado desert Is thirty-two
miles southeast of Dandy. Here is a
large deposit OF rock SALT fifteen miles
in length and from one and a half to
three miles in width. There Is not
spear Of grass or any kind OF vegeta-
tion. In many places the rock salt
crops out of the earth, and anywhere
In this section rock salt can be OBJ
tanned by digging ten or twelve inches.
No one knows how deep the salt goes,
A number of prospect holes have been
sunk. but the great amount OF water
encountered at depth of twenty-five
or thirty feet makes further mining
impossible without apparatus for
pumping.
Some ten years ago an effort was
made to bring this immense deposit of
salt into commercial use. Two rail-
read, We're built To connect the rock
clarries with the Santa Fe. IT was
found necessary to build a house In
the midle of the deposit, and for this
purpose enough blocks OF rock 3cl

THE explanation of this strange
phenomenon IL to be found in the
kind of water that was drunk by the
man and the burro. and the kind of
earth that compoed the roof and

water is heavily charged with chloride
of sodium. The earth that had been
used for the roofing contained chem
