Entire Western Part of the State Is
Swept by Furious Storm,


Grand Rapids. Mich. Feb. 0.-The
whole of western Michigan is being
swept by a terrific blizzard. Trains
from the north are three to five hours
late, and the big plows are doing their
best to prevent complete blockade,
which seems likely. as the storm shows
no signs of abatement and the snow is
drifting badly Reports from every di
rection show the blizzard to be the
worst experienced in many years.
Country roads are completely blocked
by huge drifts.
Along the Lake Michigan shore the
storm is particularly severe. Luding--
ton reports the roads piled up with
great drifts. thru which horses are un-
able to force a passage.
st. Joseph reports a passenger train
on the Three T. system stuck in Is
foot drift near Glendora, the engine fire
out and the crippled train hauled back
to st. Joseph by freight train.

CIVIL AND MILITARY.
Taft Tells Senate Committee on Phil
ippines of the Differences Which
Arose Over Question of Supremacy of
the Two Branches.

the u Wo 6ranCheS.
Washington, Feb SIN a statement
before the senate committee on the
Philippines today Governor Taft dealt
iespecially with the question of the re-
of the civil and military au-
thorities in the islands He said origi-
nally the civil and military control of
the islands had been in the hands of
been some difference of opinion be-
tween the military authorities and the
commission as to the methods of pro-
ceeding. This difference had arisen
with Macarthur, who contended the
authority over the islands was invest
ed in the military and representative of
the chief executive because the islands
lwere in state of war; In this view the
commission did not concur. This diff
ference did not. however, extend to the
control of municipalities. Taft eX-
planned at some length the contention
between the commission and Chaffee,
which he said had arisen over the
habeas corpus provision in the commits
sioners' code. The question had been
refarred to Washington with the result
that instructions We're given that their
differences must be compromised.
"Chaffee and T." he said, had no diff

ter prolonged conference
Taft also said there had been some
differences of opinion as to other mat
ters in the method of administration
and naturally the natives were more
favorably inclined toward the civil gov
ernment because they We're represented
by men of their own nationality in
that branch of the service, while on the
other hand the army was
principally concerned in bring.
ing the war to an end. He
thought the military authorities
were coming to look with more favor
on the civil institutions. In reply to
questions Taft said there We're thirty

provinces that it was not true Il ma

that the women of the island held SUI

Congress.

Washington. Feb. s. The senate
committee on foreign relations today
to secure the Danish West Indies. No
amendment was made TO the treaty.
At the conclusion of routine business
in the senate today consideration was
resumed of the urgent deficiency ap-
preparation bill.
The program for considering the war
revenue reduction act was the basis of
numerous conferences among the house
leaders today and an informal cam
yass of sentiment was made to learn
whether any of the members, particu-
larly those on the majority, would ia
yor special rule bringing the bill to a
vote without amendment. The pur-
pose of such rule would be to avoid an
amendment similar to that of Babcock
in the ways and means committee. re-
ducing the rates in the iron and steel
schedule or amendments from the min
Gritty in the line of general tariff revi-
sion. 1t is stated the result of the can
vass has shown that the majority of the
house is favorable to such special
rule.
Hale. in charge of the measure, made
an appeal TO the senate to permit the
bill to come to vote. He hoped the
scandal in Alaska" would not be per-
mitted to interfere with the progress of
the measure. McComber of Maryland.
said he had no desire to prolong the
discussion. but most villainous charges
had been made against Judge Arthur
II. Noyes and Alexander Mckenzie,
charges which he knew to be unfounded
and absolutely false. He paid high
tribute to both gentlemen and asserted
that not one scintilla of evidence was
contained in the entire record of the
case that will support the charge of
conspiracy against Mckenzie.

The Boysen bill to raise the age limi.
at Mitchellville from Is to 81 years was
recommended for passage by the COM
mittee this morning. This bill is fa-
vored by the state board of control. A
few years ago. when James Miller was
in charge of the industrial school at
Mitchellville and the rioting took place.
1t was declared that the cause of the
trouble lay in the fact of having so
many girls who had attained their
majority in years. The Twenty
seventh general assembly changed the
law and required that they should be
turned out at is years of age Expert
ence has demonstrated that this was
not the trouble at all and that it is un-
wise to force discharges from the
school at so early an age. The bill was
unanimously approved in the COM
mittee.
