just three times as great as it would be
II we had good roads all over the Unit
ed States. The average life of the farm
horse is shortened several years by the
bad roads; live stock in general is less
ened in flesh and longevity by having
to travel over miry and rut covered
roads. When the farmer Of today drives
his fattened hogs to market over q
country road he expects them to lose
great many pounds of flesh in making
the trip. II the roads were smooth and
hardened by macadam the loss would
be curtailed and his net profit that
much more.
The average speed along country
road today is five to six miles an hour
with a farm wagon. With a good
team of horses it is possible to drive
fifteen and even twenty miles an hour.
There are communities in Illinois
where the roads are so winding and
cut up by ruts that lightly loaded
buggy drawn by two good farm horses
cannot reach over an eight mile gait.
Hill climbing, as all horse owners
know, is hard on the animal. 1t re.
duces the flesh very quickly. The
roads of the country should be in such
condition as to do away with all steep
1nclines. The life Of the horse might
be extended by several years and the
cost of his feed would also be lessened

JUDGE ESTEE
IS VERY LOW
Doubtful if He Can
Survive Very
Long.

Judge Morris NJ. Estee is dying at the
Sanitarium of Miss Johnson.
His wife and United States officials
are at his bedside and his chances for
many hours of life are very slim.
Shortly after midnight his condition
became very critical and it was stated
that he might die within an hour but
could not live for more than four
hours.
At two o'clock this morning the Ad-
vertiser called up the sanitarium by
telephone. Dr. Mays in response to an
inquiry stated that the condition of
Judge Estee had undergone very criti-
cal change and that it was doubtful if
he could live very long.
Later United States Attorney Breck-
ons and United States Marshal Hendry
went to the bedside of the dying judge,
accompanied by Miss Ryan who has
been his stenographer for many years
At half past two o'clock it was stat
ed that Judge Estee might die within
an hour but that he could not live
more than four or five hours. His case
was hopeless.
The judge has been ailing for couple
of weeks, but prior to That time had
been in i'll health, and on Saturday IL
was decided that his only chance for
life would be through an operation. He
was attended by Doctors Mays, Wood
and Day and was operated upon at
Miss Johnson's sanitarium On Satur-
day. Judge Estee rallied from this but
never improved to any great extent.
Shortly after midnight the condition
of Judge Estee took a bad turn for the
worse. At two o'clock this morning
the Advertiser telephoned Miss John
sons sanitarium and it was stated
that Judge Estee's condition was very
critical and that it was doubtful if he
could survive for more than a few
hours.
Dr. Mays told an Advertiser reporter
that the Judge had had a very critical
turn for the worse and that it was
doubtful if he could live very long.

JIMMIE TAKES
ANOTHER FLOP

Jimmie Boyd, the renegade Repub-
lican who deserted to the Home Rule
camp, has professed to be a friend of
High Sheriff Brown. But he made an
attack on the latter last night in a
speech on the Kakaako sand lot. He
drew the color line sharply when he
said, eWhy don't YOU vote for a man
OF your own color?" referring to John
Wise.
The reason which Boyd gave for his
sudden antagonism to Brown, was that
the latter had arrested 1.-TWO of his
workers. during the afternoon.
Reference to the police record for
yesterday discloses the fact that the
L 1.-TWO workers were arrested at the
I Fishmarket for being drunk and dis
orderly. It was brought to Boyd's at
tention when he gave this reason. that
it was poor return for the kindness
shown by High Sheriff Brown to Boyd
when the latter was arrested on a
charge of embezzlement of public
moneys.

CREEK INDIANS OBJECT.
They Opposed the Proposed Allotment
of Lands.


A delegation of Creek Indians waited on
Commissioner Jones of the Indian bureau
this morning for the purpose of presenting
the petition of the protesting element in
the Creek nation against the allotment OF
lands to the individual Indians. This is the
same purpose which brought Crazy Snake
and his band of Creeks to Washing ton
about a year ago. and the delegation which
called at the office this morning is part of
the Crazy Snake band. 1t represents mi
nority of the Indians, who declare that Their
original treaty with the government assured
the continuation of the tribal system of ad-
ministration and government as long as
the grass grew and the water ran in the
streams"
The allotment of lands to the individual
Indian is regarded by the intelligent men
of the nation as step upward, and is
heartily indorsed by vast majority of the
Creek nation.
1t is not believed that the government will
pay any attention to the petition other than
TO extend the usual courtesies to the mem
bers of the delegation. The Indians came
to the Indian bureau direct from the White
House

CUBAN RECIPROCITY
Senators Teller and Bailey
Strong Opponents Of Bill.
LENGTHY DISCUSSION
UPPER HOUSE WILL NOT PASS
MEASURE WITHOUT DEBATE.
Will Be Brought Up for Consideration
on Monday-Western Democrats
Stand by Their Leaders.
LENGTHY DISCUSSION

Senator Teller of Colorado who is recog
nized as one of the most strenuous oppo-
nents of Cuban reciprocity, said to a Star
reporter today that he thought the discus
sion In Congress over the pending bill
would surely extend into the regular ses-
sion. He did not. however, foresee any
thing like long filibuster against the bill,
and predicted its ultimate enactment into
law.
Senator Teller based his belief in extern
sive debate upon the resentment of senators
to the railroad.ng of the bill through the
House by the majority of that body and
their action in cutting off all opportunity
for amendment. He expressed Indignation
at the course of the majority in that par
ticular and characterized 1t outrage.
He prophesied that the Senate would not
tolerate such policy, and that the bill.
when 1t reached the Senate, would receive
full discussion and amendments would be
offered.
Bailey an Opponent.
Another earnest opponent of reciprocity
is Senator Bailey of Texas, and his course
with respect to the bill when 1t reaches the
Senate will be watched with interest. Sen
ator BaiIeys friends declared today that
while to no one was the proposed legisla-
ton more Objectionable than to him, 1t
would be found that he would not make
captious objection to consideration of the
bill, nor would he be inclined to debate it
beyond the reasonable time necessary to
state objections and point out the defects
and dangers of the policy from the view
point of the opponents.
1t is said that the bill will be the subject
of conference of democratic senators when
1t comes from the House, at which the pol
Icy of the majority of the democrats will
be determined, but which will not bind the
votes of sena tors who deem the legislation
to be inimical to the interests of their con-
stituents.
Caucus This Evening.
The democrats of the House will hold
caucus this evening at O'Clock TO deter
mine their course on Monday when the
special rule for the consideration of the
bill is brought In. The effect of democratic
opposition to the rule is weakened by the
refusal of the 'insurgent' and beet-sugar
republicans to vote against the adoption of
the special rule.
The final vote on the bill in the House Will
show heavy majority for it. Several re-
publicans. 1t is intimated will vote against
the bill in response to the sentiment of
their districts. Among those mentioned in
that list are Messrs. Fordney, Loud. Dar-
ragh and McMorran of Michigan, Hogg of
Colorado and McLachlan of California

and tried to check the train, but the dis
tance was too short.

Military Occupation Of Moukden by
This Government.

1t is stated officially here, in relation to
the story printed by an Odessa Russian
newspaper that the United States contem-
plated military occupation Of Moukden,
that at no stage in the Chinese negoti-
aticns has the Department of State con-
tenplated recourse to the military arm
of the United States. The assurances that
had been received here from Russia quite
satisfed the department that, regardless
of any military or political movements by
Russia in Manchuria, there would not be
any attempt mad to interfere with the
United States trade in that quarter so that
from trade standpoint it matters little
whether Russian or Chinese troops garrison
Moukden, the force of the new treaty. be-
tween China and the United States being
recognized by Russia.
