Lay Foundation This Summer

The time is surely and swiftly COM
ing when a handsome court house will
adorn the public square. As is al
ready we'll known the building is to be
paid for when finished by three years
levies Last fall the first levy was
collected; this fall the second year,
levy will be paid in and next fall the
third years levy will turn up. The
court house ought to be finished as
quickly as possible and the date Of
the last days work should come as
near as possible to the date of the
paying in of thelast dollar Of the levy.
1t is believed that if the house is fin
ished few months before the, collec.
iton of the last few dollars the money
can be advanced in town. Therefore
il seems that the new court house
should be built next summer and if
that is the case a good many people
incline to the belief that the founda-
ton should be laid this fall. Money
enough is already on hand to pay for
that part of the work and it has been
found mighty good practice in this
country to permit heavy foundations

done arrangements should be made to
have the plans drawn, the contract let

CRITICISM OF ALLEGED PLAN TO
GUST HIM MAY COST COM
MANDER PUNISHMENT
OPPOSED TO BUREAU CONTROL
He Takes Issue With Root Before
Senate Committee on Proposi-
tiOn to Reorganize
Army Service.
SAYS A sNUB Is PLANNED

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The news
OF Gen. Miles statements made today be
lore the military committee Of the SEN
ate regarding the bill to reorganize the
military service excited great interest at
the war department when it became
known there late in the day There was
very general inquiry as to whether by
passing the criticisms upon various OIL
fcials, as reported in the press. Gen.
Miles had not exposed himself to dis
ciplinary treatment
The answer to this must be based on
the exact amount of privilege which at
taches to testimony given before COM
mlttee OF congress. This question arose
last week in the Course Of Gen Hughes
testimony before the senate Philippine
committee, when the general sought to
escape answering questions which would
involve criticism by him Of his superior
officer, Gen. Otis. 1T appeared Inat there
was a variance of opinion in the COM
mlttee itself as to how far Gen. Hughes
was at liberty to violate army rules and
proprieties, even in answer to committee
questions, and tne question itself was
leI, unsettled.
While Gen. Miles did not expect when
he gave his tesumony that it would be
made public in any form. he is now will
ing that it shall be, published by the
committee
representative BurleSOn, of Texas to-
day introduced in the house the following
resolution of inquiry:
Resolved. That the president be, and
he hereby is, respectfully requested if
the same is not incompatible with the
public interests, to transmit to the house
copies OF all correspondence relating to,
and papers bearing upon the matter of
the recent request of Lieut. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles to be assigned to duty in the
Philippines, and to be allowed to put
into effect there a plan outlined by him
having for its purpose and being calculat-
ed to bring about an immediate cessation
of hostilities in said Philippines without
further loss of life on either side
The omission by the president of his
usual ride this afternoon, and the fact
that he and Secretary Root were in con-
ference for nearly four hours, led to the
supPosition that they were discussing
Gen. Miles testimony.
Secretary Root exhibited little feeling
when his attention was called to the pro-
ceedings before the committee. He re-
marked quietly that he was very sorry
Lieut.. Gen. Miles opposed this bill
AS 10 the question whether Cen Miles
mad said anything which would REQUIRE
action at the hands of the department
or the president, the secretary firmly
declined to express any opinion for the
present at least, preferring to await an
official copy of the committee hearing
before reaching any decision

IGNORE GERMAN MARKET
NEW LAW AGAINST BORACIC ACID
PRODUCT NO WORRY.

CHICAGO, March 2O-Chicago meat
packers have adopted new tactics in deal
ing with Germany and her rules as to the
Importation of American meats and will
ignore the German market completely
This attitude is due to the announce
ment that after Oct. l no meat preserved
with boracic acid and boIax win be ad-
mltted TO the kaiser's country under any
consideration.
The leading packers say that the meat
trade with Germany IS not considerable
and that the greater part Of the Ameri-
can trade with Germany in the packers
line is confined to lard.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The depart
ment of agriculture will Immediately pre-
pare list of articles imported into This
country in which boracic and other acids
are supposed to exist. This action is the
first step taken by the government look
ing to retaliation for the German imposl-
ton on the importation of meats Contain
ing bOracic acid.
''Boracic acid applications have not been
held by chemists generally to b. injuri-
GUS but of tie European governments
declare them to be injurious and bar i'm
portations containing such applications
this government will have to follow with
similar action"
Boracic acid is used almost exclusiv ely
iE butter and preserved meat importa-
tonS. The directions today contemplate
Instructions to United States consuls
wherever articles suspected of contain
ing boracic acid are offered for sale TO re-
fuse the usual invoices for such products.

garding authorizations found in products

NEW LINES FACE SUIT
CHICAGO AGAINST RATE
CUTTING
COMPANIES WANT ALL IN
Unless Interstate Commerce Conn
mission Will Make Its Fight
General, Railroads Will
Offer Defense.

CHICAGO, March 20-Petitiors for in
functions were filed here today in the
United States circuit court by United
States District Attorney S. H. Bethea.
against six of the railway companies cen
tering in Chicago, charging them with in
fractions of the Interstate commerce law
in regard to rate cutting. In substance
the complaints are the same as those
filed at Kansas City. The defendants are
the Michigan Central, Illinois Central,
Pennsylvania, Pittsburg, Cincinnati & st.
Louis, Lake Shore, and the Chicago s.
Northwestern roads.
Other bills will be filed against roads
centering here as soon as they can be
prepared and every road against which
evidence has been obtained will be in
Guided.
The petitions will be heard by Judge
Peter S. Grosscup some time during next
week. 1t is probable that no move will
be made in court here before the Kansas
City petitions are heard. If the gov
ernment, represented by former Judge
w. A Day maintains it's present atti-
tude, the railroads are likely to oppose
determinedly the granting of injunctions
General counsel, acting on behalf of
their roads and other Western roads
visited Mr. Day and United States Dis
tr1ct Attorney Bethea today with a view
to rtaining just what railroads would
be sued, and how far the government
proposed proceeding. One purpose of
the visit was to try to induce the govxrn-
ment to include all railroads centering In
Kansas City, and all centering in Chicago.
1t was urged that by so doing the whole
situation would be placed within the
grasp of the government, whereas This
would not be accomplished by proceeding
against only number Of the roads. 1t
was intimated that the suits would be
vigorously defended unless such action
was taken.
Although absolutely nothing has been
said by any representative of the gov
ernment that would warrant the state
ment, nevertheless the opinion exists gen.
orally that If a bitter fight is made
against the injunctional proceedings the
government will institute criminal pro-
ceedings against all violators Of the law,
including packing house representatives

CUBAN TARIFF REVISION WILL NOT

Duplicate of House Bill Reported
With Minor Amendments, but
None of These Change
Its Character.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Aldrich, from the committee on finance.
today presented to the senate the report
of the committee on the bill repeating
the war revenue act, and thus made pub
lie for the first time the amendments
to the bill suggested by the committee.
There are many changes in the language
of the bill, but, except in one instance
the intention of the house bill repeating
the entire act is respected The excep-
ton is the provision in the existing law
providing for the taxation of bucket
shops" which provision is left intact and
the tax continued in effect.
Senator Aldrich said before presenting
the report that he expected to call it
up IN day or two and ask the senate
10 act. 1t IS understood there will be no
effort on either side of the senate to
amend the bill, and it is not expected
there will be any prolonged debate on it,
The house provision authorizing the
appointment of ten additional revenue
agents in connection with the rebate on
tobacco on hand, when the law shall go
into effect, is eliminated, but the com
missioner on internal revenue is author
lied to adopt such regulations as shall
be necessary to carry the provisNn into
effect

ton of taxes on inheritances between
~" anu JuIy L, Wnen the provision Will
be repealed, is rewritten The changes
relate to only minor details to the ad-
ministration Of the law for the next three
months.
The committee also recommends the
addition of the following section:
That the repeal of existing laws or mod
1fications thereof embraced in this act
shall not affect any act done or any right
accruing or accrued or any suit or pro-
ceedlng. had or commenced in any civil
case before the said repeal or modi .ica-
tions; but all rights and liabilities under
said laws shall continue and may be en-
forced in the same manner as if said re-
peal or notifications had not been made.

ute embraced in or changed, modified or

WASHINGTON, d, c., March 90
Senator McCumber is among the few who
do not approve the proposed law for
protection of the president. He made
speech of considerable length today in
which he stated his objections.
He said he had no objections to Civ
ing federal courts power to punish Of
fenses of this sort where state courts
appeared to have insufficient powers He
objected chiefly to the second section
of the bill, which seeks to apply the
death penalty to attempt to kill the sec
retary Of state and others remotely In
line of succession to the presidency.
McCumber said he believed the presi
dent should be protected because he rep
resented in his person sovereignty, but
member of the cabinet might not be-
come president without the remote con-
tingency of death ahead of him in the
line of succession. He did not think 1t
was right to give to such person the
same degree of protection given the pres
ident. This would be a step away from
republican equality and in line of Great
ing particular class of persons whose
life or person would be more sacred than
that of the ordinary citizen. Until the
bill was amended in this regard McCum-
Der said he would have to vote against it,
Just before adjournment an agreement
was reached to vote on the measure and
pending amendments at o'clock tomor-
row. The speakers today were Pettus
of Alabama, Hawley of Connecticut, and
Nelson Of Minnesota, In support Of the
bill, and Rawlins of Utah, McCumber of
North Dakota, Mallory of Florida, Car,
mack of Tennessee, and Money and Nc
Laurin Of Mississippi in the main were
reinforcements of arguments that have
been advanced heretofore, few new points
being raised. The principal point made
by the opponents of the measure was
that federal officials ought to be treated
in the courts precisely as are other citi-
Zens.
Three Substitutes Proposed.
Three substitutes for the bill are pend
ing, and will be pressed when the vot-
ing begins tomorrow.
In his speech Senator .McLaurin said:
This bill is bad in principle and ut
terly and absolutely unnecessary No
more futile, no more unnecessary law
ever encountered the statute books of
this country than the measure we now
have under consideration
He was willing to go to almost any
extent to safeguard the president or to
stamp out anarchy, he said, but he did
