PLANS WHICH WERE REJECTED
President Complies with Burleson Resolution and Sends to the House
Correspondence Relating to General Miles
Philippine Proposal.

Washington, March 29.-President
Roosevelt today complied with the
Burleson resolution, passed by the
house, requesting the correspondence
relating to Lieutenant General Miles
recent proposition for bringing about
peace in the Philippines.
Miles proposition was to take rep
r~esentative Cubans and Porto Ricans
to the Philippines with him to con
vince the natives there Of the bene-
fits Of United States control and to
send back representative Filipinos to
washington to study governmental
conditions here.
This was disapproved by the secre-
tary Of war. on the ground that It was
Spectacular and sensational"
Not satisfied with this action Gen
eral Miles, March "a, renewed his
proposition, presenting further argu'
ments. This met with the same fate
as the frst communication. The pres
ldent closing the correspondence with
the following note:
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1902-04-01

white House, March 27.-Merno-
randum Of secretary Of war Is APPROX
ed a. q whole and as to every part.
Had there been any doubt before as to
the wisdom Of denying General Miles
requests these papers would remove
such doubt.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
In his memorandum Of March "a,
Miles frankly announced his intention
Of visiting the Philippines in the near
future, whether or no, where. he says,
II shall devote my attention to, the
condition and requirements Of the
troops. Of the division. the same as I
have in respect to other portions Of
the army"
Secretary Roots comment on this
memorandum is a caustic arraign-
ment of Miles attitude during the
past year, answering the argume nts
Of the lieutenant general in detail,
without commenting upon the pro
priety Of military officers undertake
Ing to review the action Of the pres.
ident."

HAS NOT FULLY DECIDED TO
HAND IN RESIGNATION.
GROWING WEARY OF POST
German Fleet Withdrawing From
Venezuelan Waters-wim Give
Castro Ample Time.

Berlin, March 29.-Andrew d. White,
United States ambassador to Germany,
has not yet resigned and IL quite un-
decided as to whether he will do SO
at some future time or serve out his
term. His health, though not robust,
is better than 1t has been for several
years; he never misses his Office hours
and has been uncommonly active in a
social way. The ambassador is now in
Riviera, simply on regular leave Of
absence.
President Roosevelt after assuming
the chief magistracy, asked Mr..
White, as he did other American am
b%assadors and ministers, II he would
remain during his term, and Mr.
White gave him a general promise
that he would. This assurance, how
ever, is not regarded as a bar to the
ambassadors offering his resignation
at any time.
Mr.. White, after his active life,
is rather weary Of the ambassador
ship, and 1t is not improbable that he
will retire next fall, when he will have
reached the age Of 20 years; but as
yet he has not come to a final deci-
sion.
Germany's dispute with Venezuela
is not yet wholly closed, though, as
the Associated Press announced a
fortnight ago, a broad basis Of settle
ment has been agreed upon. The
German squadron at Laguayara has
been dispersed, thus withdrawing i'm
piled threats against Venezuela. Ger.
many wishes to allow President Castro
ample time to yield to the conditions
laid down in January last, which have
been modified in accordance with
President Castro's request.
Professor Slaby's recent proposal
for an information conference to regu-
late wireless telegraphy is already m
gaglng the attention of Germany, the
authorities of which country are now
drafting a circular note to be present
ed to the United States, Great Britain
and France, proposing a congress for
the purpose OF agreeing upon some
a to prevent q monopoly Of wire
less telegraphy on the high seas.

Small Owners In Nebraska and Wyo.

Omaha, March 29;-Reports receiy-
ed by livestock dealers here from the
cattle districts OF Nebraska and Wyo-
ming, are to the effect that small
ranchmen n preparing vigorously to
prosecute plans for compelling the tax
ing down Of fences on government
lands. The recent convention OF the
American Cattle Growers association
at Denver adopted resolutions re.
questing President Roosevelt and con-
gress to take some action that will n
able the cattle growers to maintain
their present fences. This PROPOSE
ton is bitterly opposed by the small
cattlemen, who seek the enforcement
Of the present laws prohibiting fenc-
ing. The reports state that the small
cattlemen will resist, ever to the point
Of force any continuance Of the pres.
emit system Of fencing.

charged to Mr. Becker was $4,000
and included the entire herd Of Crow
cattle, a disputed amount Of cash and
some miscellaneous property.
Upon taking the Office Of agen,
Major Becker refused to receipt for
the cattle until they were tailed off
to him by the government.
THE matter has been pending near.
~ three years and last December Mr..
Becker had secured evidence and af-
f1davits sufficient to make a showing
the case at Washington. He went
to the capital and presented his side
OF the case and the matter was soon
cleared up, and upon thorough in.

Instead Of his owing the government

DISTRICT OF LAKE MICHIGAN
sTREETER,s ATTORNEY CAUSES
SEVERAL ARRESTS.
His Client In Jail Awaiting Trial for
Murder for Killing John Kirk
on the Lake Front.

Chicago, March 29.-Captain Geo.
w. streeter, now confined, in the coun-
ty jail, on charge Of murder, has caus-
ed a counter-charge to be filed against
a number Of prominent business men,
among them several millipnaires.
Streeter squatted upon q strip Of
Shorthand adjoining the lake shore
drive on the north side and called 1t
the District Of Lake Michigan and has
insisted that 1t is outside the bound
airy, and not under the jurisdiction Of
the state OF Illinois. He placed sew
eral armed guards on the ground and
there were frequent collisions between
them and watchmen employed by cit.
izents owning property in the imme-
diate vicinity Of Streeter's claim.
Early in February a shooting ARRAY re.
suited in John Kirk, n of the watch
men, being shot and killed by n or
two Of Streeter's men, who engaged
in the ARRAY. Two men and Streeter
were placed under arrest and have
been confined In the county jail ever
snce, awaiting trial.
Today Streeter's attorney fled a
complaint in the court Of Justice
Everett, charging that George Wahl,
Generea; Charles Ntzsimmons, Alex
ander McNeill, John schucker. Henry
N. Cooper and others conspired to In
jure him and his men, and that 1t
was in consequence of this conspiracy
that the fight in which Kirk was kill
ed. resulted. He claims that the
are, therefore, guilty OF murder, be-
ing accessories before the fact.
Five OF the lei were summoned
70 Justice Everett's ONCE and were
released upon their personal bonds OF
$1,000.
All Of them stand high in the busi-
ness world and ridicule s~treeter's ~
sertion Of conspiracy.

ASK ATTORNEY GENERAL KNOX
FOR INFORMATION
ON QUESTION OF COLOR
Would Like to Know How "Race,
Color and Previous Condition"
Affects Their Charter.

Chicago, March 29.-The attorney
general Of the United States will be
called upon to decide whether club
women q make determinations on
race, color or previous condition Of
servitude. A committee Of Chicago
club women was appointed today to
ask Attorney General Knox about the
constitutitionality Of what the general
federation proposes to do at Los
Angeles. This committee represents
the most influential clubs in Chicago.
Within the last year the congress Of
the United States has granted the
general federation Of clubs special
corporation papers. This charter pro
yides for the organization OF women's
clubs engaged in philanthropic educa-
tional or charitable work or in liter
airy art or music culture. There are
specific provisions against political
and religious determinations.
The question now arises whether
the clubs are bound to observe the
constitutional provisions in regard to
race, color and previous condition Of
servitude. Mrs. r. A. Cole Ut MIL
waukee, is the woman who proposed
the letter to Attorney General Knox.
She is Of the opinion that his answer
will throw the whole color question
out Of consideration at the Les An.
geles meeting. The federation pro-
poses to re-organize, she says, and in
doing SO must remember that 1t will
have to consult congress, which grant
ed the charter in its present form.
That would at once raise the ques-
ton, she believes, whether congress
would have the right under the con-
stitution to authorize a national fed
Grafton which should recognize race
and color.
