SECRETARY ROOT MUST
 FURNISH INFORMATION

he characterized as the effort of the Secretary of War to direct and control the proceedings of a committee of the Senate.
 Senator Lodge replied that he had not known of the report until he had read the statement quoted and he then learn ed that it had been referred to General Chaffee in order to secure his comment upon it. Undoubtedly he said. the Sec retary thought the charges against army officers should not be sent without an ex- planation of them.
 MT. Carmack expressed the opinion that the Secretary of War had come into possession of information that did not suit his views and Is trying to suppress it until he can cook up something to break the force of it.
 Senator Culberson changed his resoiu- tion so as torcall directly upon the Sec retary of War for the report with re- quest to forward any information he may have from Chaffee, and the resolution was thus adopted.
 General Macarthur then began his statement He said that after a com plete study of the situation he had con- cluded that permanent American occupa- ton of the islands was advisable.
 The committee adjourned until 10:30 to- morrow.

whip on the Cuban bill expresses con- fidence that the bill will pass
 It is understood that the call was sug- gested by a member of the Texas delega- tion who believes that a majority of the Democratic side is opposed to reducing the Dingley tariff rates between the United States and Cuba.
 The trouble with the Texans is under stood to be that they fear Cuban legisla- tion on the lines of the Payne bill will open up the subject to an extent which might in the future jeopardize the wool and hide schedule. They are therefore anxious to take a step which virtually commits the party to protection. The ad- vocates of reducing the Dingley tarin rates to 20 per cent for the reason that no greater reduction is obtainable are satisfied that they can control enough votes to place the House Democrats in the attitude of favoring tariff reduction. It is therefore expected that the Demo- crats will lndorse the Payne bill if any definite action one way or the other is taken hy the caucus.

\ ditorium last night was attended by an audience quite as large as any ever assembled in Birmingham. It was thor oughly representative audience, too, for it included hundreds of unpretentious music set and all of the fashionable set. The festivals have come to be looked upon as fixed institutions, and this one in par ticular was anticipated with especial in- terest for many reasons, among them be- ing the popular character of the pro- grammes.
 Former festivals were artistically sue cessful, but some of the oratorio music was over the heads of a large number in the audience. At this festival all heavy or severely classical music has been stu diously omitted. Benjamin Guckenberger, the musical director. had picked out short and tuneful cantatas for the chorus, and Theodore Thomas, who had the selection of the orchestral numbers. has surpassed himself as a popular programme maker. Every man, woman and child in the vast audience last night. therefore, should have been, and doubtless was, delighted. As artistic as last years festival was, this one will be pronounced far ahead of it. The chorus last night was certainly the best that was ever heard in Bir- mingham. MT. Thomas, always moderate in his expressions, spoke highly of the chorus In Skeleton in Armour as he discussed the performance behind the scenes, and MT. Kramer, the concert meister and violin soloist, was very warm in his words of praise. Surely there are no better critics. Indeed, MT. Thomas should be esteemed the foremost man in the United States in assessing the volume

SENATE WANTED THE
 BUCKET SHOPS TAXED.


 Washington April 7-Considerable time was consumed by the Senate today in a discussion of the conference report on the hill to reduce war revenue taxes As nassed by the Senate the tax of transac- lions in so-called bucket shops was re- tained. The conferees struck out that nroyision, 1t being explained that the House would not consent to it's retention
 MT. Berry of Arkansas MT. Bacon of Georgia and MT. Pettus of Alabama in sisted that the Senate should demand the retention of the tax. MT. Pettus said he was opposed to all transactions which were gambling in disguise. Down In his country he said playing in bucket sbons was the sort of gambling in which church goers could engage without sacri- fcing their church connections. He was onnosed to the removal of the tax. MT Aldrich of Rhode Island, MT. Allison of Iowa and MT. Spooner of Wisconsin, while they were in favor of the tax, ex- n,ained that 1t could not be retained with out endangering the entire measure. The conference report finally was adopted, 36 to 20
 Consideration of the Chinese exclusion hill was then resum ed. MT. Simmons. North Carolina, addressing the Senate. He said he expected to vote for the bill but was T6IuCtdiit to No Sot tSPOSiaii1 DC- cause the cotton manufacturers of his state and of the South generally, were sppealing against its enactment. They fear. he said. that 1t will lead to retalia- tory action on the part of China, and that their market in the Orient might be checked If not destroyed.
 Mfr. Simmons explained that he did not agree with the cotton manufactur- FITS and, therefore, as people of the Pa rife coast and other sections were de- manding the passage of the bill. he would vote for it. The bill was read at length md then the Senate at 5:30 adjourned.

THEISING'S CLAIMS
They Are Bonded, and Mill and Con-
 centrator Will Be Erected.

MT. Theising has bonded and leased his Golden Belt. Gold Standard and Mari and Mars claims to Emil A.
 Frank, M. F., says the Prescott Cour- fer. The claims are situated in the Peck mining district about three miles west of Cordes. A force of men will be put to work on May 1st and devel- opment will go forward rapidly after that date. It is stated that from goo to 500 tons of or ecan be picked up will be rendered on that occasion and the ore averages $15 per ton in free gold besides lead and silver. In some parts of the workings of the mines the un- derground ore averages $40 per ton, gold, silver and lead. A five stamp mill with concentrator will be erected on the property at once, there being ample water in Turkey creek for milling pur- poses. The railroad now being built to the Bradshaws will be, when com- pleted, only about one and one-hali miles from MT. Theising's property
