CONCERNING ORDER TO MILES
Explanation is made at War Depart
ment of Delay In His De-
pnrture.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. - President
Roosevelt's order to General Miles to visit
the Philippines reached the War department
In the mail today. General Miles is in
structed to proceed about September IL to
the Philippines to inspect the army there
with reference to instruction, discipline and
supplies"
1t is the understanding that in that ca
pacity. though Of superior rank, General
Miles will not interfere in any way with
either General ChRffee or his successor,
General Davis, in the direction Of the army
in the Philippines. He will critically ex-
anime the conditions as he finds them, de-
voting his attention entirely to matters Of
army administration and not to political
affairs, and the results Of his work will be
embodied in a set Of reports.
II is believed here that he will be ac-
companied by at least two members Of his
stan, namely. Lieutenant Colonel Whitney
and Colonel Reber, the latter his son-in-law.
Colonel Maus, who Is the inspecting ofhcer
of the stan, also may accompany General
Miles II his health, which is somewhat inn
paired at present, permits.
1t developed that General Miles applica-
ton to go to the Philippines was Of COM
raratively recent date, and was in no way
COhhtCltu WIN his dppliCdliOu Ol btNSFdl
months ago. When the first application was
made 1t was coupled with certain sugges-
tions as to terminating the war, and Secre-
tary Roots refusal TO grant the first re-
quest was based largely upon these phases
OF the application. In view Of this Il is I'm
derstood that General Miles restricted his
second application so as to make the trip
one for purely military purposes. Although
the text Of the application was not given
out at the War department, It Is said that
one Of its features is a request that the
return from the Philippines be by way OF
the eastern route. rs the application Is
approved, General Miles will return by this
route. which will insure his visiting Europe
on his way back to America.
1t Is expected that Mrs. Miles will accom-.
pany the general to the Philippines and Il
may be that his married daughter, who Is
the wife of Colonel Reber, one Of the gen.
erals aides, also will accompany the party.
The general will return tomorrow from his
New England trip, when his plans will be
more fully made known.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Major General
Nelson A. Miles came to New York this
afternoon from Sandy Hook, where he had
been attending a meeting of the ordnance
board Of the army. TIL general declined
to talk about the situation in the Philip
pines, saying: There has been toe much
in the papers about that already"

FRANKFORT. KY. Aug. 26.-The state

gether early next week to investigate the
proposed merger of the Louisville a Nash
VILE and Southern railway by the Morgan

OF EebrasRa.G
This is a comparison that has been sug-

as It is a fair question to be asked, we
have been able to compile the figures after
considerable research. >rs t
No better estimate Of the value Of Ne
braska railroads can be used than tho
figures presented to the stockholders OF the
various railroad companies by the officers
OF the roads in their annual reports.
1t is not probable that they would UNDER

company In that instance. From these
Official reports the average value OF a mile
of railroad in Nebraska lie sse,979, and from
that investment the average net earnings

sum sG03.l5 was paid for taxes, leaving the
sum OF H.sS6.s5 as the net revenue, out OF

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Because Of the poor
condition of the city water the Board Of
Education decided today that it would be
necessary to shut of the water supply from
all Of the public schools when they open

matter under consideration hopes that the
water can be improved before the schools

will be shut of. Pupils desiring a drink
OF water during school hours will be COM
PEELED TO bring a bottle of boiled water from

LIMITATION STATUTE VOID

cIares Colorado Law in Violation
of the Constitution.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Aug. 26.-Judge San
born of the United States court OF appeals
in deciding the case of Aaron Keyser against
John w. Lowell. brought here on an appeal
from the circuit court Of the United States
for the district Of Colorado, held that the
Colorado statute Of limitation is void and
in violation Of the constitution Of the United
States.
The case dates back to 1885. when the
plaintiff recovered judgment against the de-
PENDANT in the Utah courts. In 1901 action
upon the judgment given in 1885 was begun
and judgment rendered in favor Of the
plaintiff for S9,052.61. When the judgment
was obtained the cause Of action was barred
by the Colorado statute of Limitation. Judge
sanborn's decision was very lengthy and re-
verses the decision Of the lower court.

INVESTIGATE STRANGE DEATH
Police Can Find No Trace of the body
or Even of the Place where
80. Sea : Man Died.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the reported death Of
PhIletus Jones, represented as a Boston
millionaire engaged in a large real estate
deal an Ohica 60, came to the notice OF the
police today. Notices in last Saturdays
papers told OF the sudden death of Mr..
Jones Of heart disease at the residence Of
a nephew. in Aston street, but neither the
name of the nephew nor the street number
was given. The police have found no one
here who knew Mr.. Jones, excepting John
A.. I. Lee, through whom, as agent, Mr..
Jones was reported to be negotiating the
purchase Of certain property. From. Mr..
Lee 1t has been learned that the body has
been shipped to Boston, but no record OF
the death can be found in the health de-
partment ofiees here nor have the officials
issued a permit for the removal Of the
body from the state. Lee says that Mr..
Jones was accompanied by a nephew, Mr..
Alton by name. Lee says that an agree
ment to purchase the property was signed
by Jones within a specified time and that
on August 2S he received a note from
Alton announcing the death Of Jones, that
the body would be taken to Boston and
that after the funeral he, Alton, would
return and complete the purchase. %,
Inc polCe learned. tnat the mouse AT
142 Aston street, In which Lee said Jones
lived. had been sold recently by the for
mer owners to a stranger, The doors and
windows OF the house were locked, and 1t
bore every evidence Of having been closed
for the summer. Neighbors said they did
not know the new occupants Of the house,
but they we're positive no funeral had been
held there and no body had been taken
away, unless 1t had been done secretly.
The detectives VIII Investigate further the
sale OF the Aston street residence, and II
1t shall be found to have been sold to
Jones. it may be broken into and searched.
DR.. Thomas, an attorney, claims that Lee
was indebted to. him for money loaned,
legal fees and once rent, and to satisfy
this debt Lee had assigned to Thomas
81, 100 OF a commission to be received in the
Jones' real estate deal. The police have
a theory that "Philetus Jones" is q myth.
Lee is nearly 20 years Of age and is said
to be a member Of the Lee family OF Viz
ginia. For eight years in that state he
served as a Judge OF the circuit court.
BOSTON, Aug. 26.-The name Philetus
Jones does not appear in the Boston OF
