Within the last few years many changes
and reforms in police administration have
been instituted, all tending to, its improve
ment, but further efficiency can be secured
through the cooperation OF Congress. The
most important feature for which consid-
Grafton is asked is the reQuisition for sixty
additional policemen, the granting Of which

1t unnecessary to make like appeal for some
time to come. The outlying districts are

pretenstons are entitled to better protec-

tention and care.
When the strength Of the District police
force is compared with that of large cities
with regard to the most salient feature
that Of area to be patrolled-little question
can be raised to the propriety of this APP

The police department has maintained its
excellent reputation as to efficiency, despite
its limited force, and 1t is doubtful If there
is place in the country where the require

Fairgrounds, suitably equipped ana
maintained, are now regarded in most large
cities as necessary for pubic comfort ana
convenience. Boys and girls are not al
lowed to play on the grass in the public
parks, except at one spot in the Washing

therefore, IN the built-up portion OF the
city OF Washington. no place except the
street. Public educators and pubfc-spirited
citizens generally deplore this Tact. The
Commissioners repeat their recommended

southwest section, from which the first re-

President and Root Spend Sun.
day Discussing vatican's Re-
ply to Taft's Note.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 13.-President
Roosevelt and Secretary Root We're 50
busily engaged today IN the considera-
ton of important subjects that neither
one attended church.
Shortly before the morning services
began at Christ church, Mrs. Roose-
welt. accompanied by four of the chill
dren, arrived at the church In trap
from Sycamore hlll. ~ g es3sfie& zxas
thronged with people, and Mrs. Roose-
Welt and the children were giyeu.a cor
dial reception by their friends
One of the important questions dis
eussed by the president and Secretary
Root was that relating TO Governor
Taft's negotiations with the vatican
respecting the Philippine friars. Both
Mr.. Roosevelt and the secretary of war
deem it unwise that the friars should
remain in the archipelago with the
prestige they now possess.
The attitude of the friars is regarded
not only as a menace to the peace of
the islands, but also as an obstruction
to their government and to the civiliza-
ton of their inhabitants.
No statement of the conclusion
reached by the president and Secre-
tary Root could be obtained at Saga
more hill, but unofficially it is under
stood that a note is being drafted in
response to that transmitted by the
pope through Governor Taft to the ad-
ministration. As Governor TAFT
started negotiations, it is likely that
the reply of this government will be
sent to the vatican authorities through
him.
Ample assurance is given that the
United States viii take strong ground
in support of its contention that the
friars must be eliminated from the
Philippine equation. Tt is said that no
official statement of any phase. of the
situation will be made public until the
negotiations with the vatican have
been concluded and that then the an
nouncement will be made from Wash
ington.
The president and Secretary Root
practically completed their arduous
work tonight. Tomorrow will be de-
voted by them to recreation. Late in
the afternoon the secretary will sail on
the Kanawha for New York. going
thence to Washington Secretary of
the Navy Moody is expected to arrive
here some time during the present
week. the day not having been definite
ly determined on.
Secretary Cortelyou will go to Wash
ington this week TO make final ar
rangements for the presidents New
England trip, which will begin Aug. %.
The trip will occupy ten days, and in
that time the president will visit six
states.
1t was announced tonight that the
president did not expect to make any
extended cruise on the Mayhower at
this time, but might take one during
the next few weeks.
Miss Alice Roose yelt, who has been
enjoying a brief sojourn in the Adiron-
dacks arrived home today.

THE PRINCE OF SIAM
TO VISIT AMERICA

New York, July 13.-It is learned
from AUTHORITATIVE sources that the
crown prince of Siam will come to the
United States in the same simple man
ner that he has visited King Edward

companied only by his brother, the

The crown prince is in his 22d year.

lived in England. speaking and writing
the language. He has been educated
in oxford, is president of the Cosmo-
politan club of that university, and is
most simple and unaffected in his

also his father, the king of Siam. He

WILL MEET THURSDAY
Miners Convention to Decide
Whether General Strike
Will Be Ordered.

Indianapolis, Ind, July lathe adj
vance guard of delegates to the great
miners convention, which will meet
in this city Thursday, will arrive to-
morrow.
whether a general strike viii be or
dered or not will be the great question
of the convention What action the
miners will take is only problematical
The national officers of the miners or
CARNATIONS are expected to oppose this
movement The radical element. which
is in favor of the general tie-up, viii
have great deal of strength in the
meeting. however, and may be able TO
control affairs. The five districts that
called the convention, the three anthra-
cite districts of Pennsylvania, with
West Virginia and Michigan, will prob
ably vote for general strike.
A majority vote is all that is needed
to decide on this action, and the dis
tricts which called the convention will
control about one-half of the conven-
ton.
The greatest hope that the conven-
ton viii defeat the proposition for
general strike comes from the fact
that the miners are still willing, ap-
parently, to follow the advice of Presi-
dent Mitchell. From advices received
from all over the mining region, it is
evident that many of the delegates
are instructed to follow his sugges-
lions under all circumstances. While
Mr.. Mitchell has never expressed him
self on the question of the general
strike. ii is believed he is opposed to
it. except as a last resort.
The greatest opposition to a general
strike will come from Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and the bituminous field of
Pennsylvania.
1t is almost a foregone conclusion
that the convention will take steps to
provide a defense fund for the anthra-
cite strikers. whether a general tie-up
is decided on or not.
