ATTORNEY GENERAL DEPARTS
Left Instructions Not to Disclose His
Destination.

The absence of Attorney General Knox
That Mr.. Knox went away from Washing
ton after leaving careful instructions that
his destination was not to be disclosed is
certain, and his subordinates in the Depart
ment of Justice are dutfully carrying out
his instructions. Mr.. Knox left Washington
two days ago with James S. Young, the
district attorney of the Pittsburg district
Mr. Young is personal friend of the Attor-
ney General The two men, 1t is reported
held a long conference in Pittsburg and de-
parted from there for the west. One story
is that Mr.. Knox is proceeding to Yellow
stone Park as rapidly as possible to confer
with the President, but at the Department
of Justice this report Is said to be untrue.
In fact there are dozen reports. One not
heretofore published, but believed to have
plausibility, is that Mr.. Knox is preparing
to bring proceedings of some kind against
the coal-carrying roads of Pennsylvania,
and that his consultation with Mr.. Young
is for the purpose of outlining the govern
ments position. Mr.. Young would have to
begin such a case as the United States at
torney, and would have to be converSant
with the proposed proceedings
Before leaving Washington Mr.. Knox had
a conference with Mr.. John W. Griggs,
former Attorney General, now representing
the Northern Securities Company Mr..
Griggs is said to have been here for the
purpose of trying to obtain an agreement
from the Department of Justice for a modi-
fication of the decree Of the court so that
the dividends may be paid out and not tied
up by the litigation.
All the reports as to Mr.. Knox's purpose
and whereabouts are regarded as mere con-
lectures.

IN ORDER TO BENEFIT.
Conditions Imposed on the National
Guard by the New Law.

Major Parker chief of the militia division
of the adjutant generals office, has mailed
copies of the memorandum prepared by the
war college board on the subject of rules
and regulations for putting into operation
the new militia law, to the adjutants gen.
eral Of all the states and territories for
their information and guidance. The Star
has already published a synopsis of the
proposed rules and regulations
Since that publication the war college
board has supplemented it's original report
with the following memorandum, which is
included in the pamphlet mailed to the ad-
1utants general of the states and terri
tories:
In further reference to section IS of the
new militia law, the war college board has
the honor to report that, in it's opinion. In
order that state, territory or the District
OF Columbia may participate in the appro-
prlation under section 1861 Revised Stat
utes, all of it's companies, troops and bat
teries not excused by the governor must
during the fiscal year next preceding, have
received at least five days field instruction
IN camp or in practice marches, and in ad-
dition must have assembled for drill or tar
get practice for at least twenty-four separ-
ate days, with the proviso, however. that
a company, troop or battery may have tar
get practice on the same day that 1t has q
regular drill, In which case both the drill
I 'a1 eoe P.dcuce may De counted Separ-
ately In making up the 'twenty-four times
of assembly required in section 1s OF the
act.
Further, during the year next preceding
each annual allotment the organized mill
itla must have been inspected by an officer
OF the militia at least once under the orders
or the governor or Of the general command
ing the militia Of the District of Columbia
or by regular officer SO ordered by the
Secretary Of War.
The governors of states and farr;toria,
and the commanding general of the militia
or the District of Columbia. should be noti-
fled In time to enable them to comply with
these requirements prior to July L. 10O3.'

connected with some line of manufacture of
American products
They Represent Great Capital.

The total capitalization Of the industrial
corporations represented in the member
ship Of the league would approach closely
to a billion dollars Outside of the great
steel trust these industries produce the
bulk of the total output of American manu-
factured products.
Mr.. T. z. Cowles, the editor of the weekly
journal of the league, made this state
nent to me:
But for the earnest, vigorous and per-
s1stent efforts Of the league not only would
the Cuban reciprocity treaty be now in
force, but every one of the treaties nego-
tiated by Mr.. kasson would be in opera
ton"
will you pursue the same course of op-
contamination Of the Cuban reciprocity
treaty?' he was asked.
THE answer to that question is found in
the resolution adopted by the American
Protective Tariff League at it's last annual
meeting" said Mr.. Cowles. THAT resolu-
ton declared against reciprocity in COM
petitive products by treaty, as being un-
sound in principle, pernicious in practice
and condemned by all experience
. The Star published last week, as part
of the political gossip Of the day, the re-
port ther current that President Roosevelt
had been warned that his denomination
could be defeated, and defeat would be at
tempted by the American Protective Tariff
League if he continued to advocate tariff
revision. ! do not attempt to affirm or
from the foregoing description of the
league that the power Of this organization
would make it pretty formidable foe.

PROGRESS ON WARSHIPS.
Record Broken in the Case Of the
Louisiana.

According to the latest report of Chief
Constructor Bowles giving the progress of
work on warships under construction, the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company has
broken the record in the matter of ship
construction in the case of the battle ship
louisiana Under the contract that vessel
should be per cent toward completion May
1, whereas the work had reached that stage
of progress by April 1. Should this rate of
gain be continued the vessel will be COM
pleted several months before the contract
time The contract calls for her compile
ton in three years and half.
The rapid work on the Louisiana is
thought to be due to the fact that the vessel
is being built in competition with the gov
ernment, which is building the Connecticut,
a battle ship of the same size and design
as the Louisiana, at the New York navy
:-ard
Progress during March on other vessels
Only per cent of work was done on the
battle ships Ohio, Nebraska and Georgia.
and the same amount on the armored
cruiser Maryland, while there was no prog
ress at all on the armored cruiser South
Dakota.
The battle ship Virginia went ahead 5 per
cent, however, and the battle ships Mis-
souri,, New Jersey and Rhode Island 3 per
cent each. A great deal of delay in armor-
clad construction has not been due to the
contractors, but because of the failure of
steel companies to turn out enough struc-
tural material in time. There has been a
great improvement in this respect lately
and it Is expected that the progress on the
vessels will be more rapid hereafter.

The Arrests Last Night,

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Eight Italians, whom the police as
sert are members both of the Malta and
of big counterfeiting gang. were arrested
tonight by detectives Of the central office
staff in connection with the murder of the
man whose unidentified body was found
crowded into barrel yesterday morning at
18th street near Avenue D.
Inspector McCluskey said that for months
he had been working in conjunction with
the United States secret service men in
keeping the members of this gang under
the ktrictest surveillance. Three of tho
secret service men declare that on Mon
day night last they saw the murdered man
in company with three Of the prisoners in
a butcher shop on Stanton street.
Inspector Schmittberger said tonight that
the murdered mans identity soon would
be disclosed, and that he has information
which leads him to be almost certain that
the man was decoyed here from out of
town for the purpose of being gotten out
of the way lest he should betray the Sc
crets Of the Malta.
In it's mysterious aspects the case prom
ises to rival the Meyer Weisbard murder
or the assassination of Joseph Catania,
whose body was sewed in a sack and
dumped on the bay snore near Fort Ham
ilton, both of which murders are as yet
unSolved.

ELEVEN UNDER ARREST
New York Police Use Drag
Net.
PRISONERS ITALIANS
HAVE CLUE IN MURDER
CASE
Of the Man Whose Body Was Found in
Barrel Tuesday
Morning.

NEW YORK. April 16.-Vito Laduca, who
was supposed to have been the proprietor
of the butcher shop in Stanton street
where nine arrests were made last night in
connection with the murder Of the man
found in a barrel in East 11th street last
Tuesday morning, surrendered himself at
police headquarters today and was held by
the police as a witness. Nickola Testro,
nineteen years old, who lives with Laduca,
also went to police headquarters and was
detained by the police for the same pur-
pose.
At the place in Elizabeth street kept by
Giuseppe Morello who was one of the men
arrested last night, the police have locked
the doors and placed heavy padlocks on
them. Through the glass in the windows
can be seen several large barrels that bear
a resemblance to the barrel in which the
murdered man was found. The barrel in
18th street had two wooden hoops and
wire hoop at both top and bottom. The
barrels in the store appear as If they had
nothing but wire hoops.
In the store was found quantity of saw
dust and burlap and Detective Petrosnio
took some of it to police headquarters to-
day for examination and comparison with
that found in the barrel and about the muir
dered mans neck.

BULK OF CHARGES aRoUNDLEss.
Belief Held Regarding the Postal In
vestigation.

Now that Postmaster General Payne has
assumed control of the investigation Of
the department under his direction, fresh
charges against the officials of the bu-
reaus under fire are coming in every day.
These charges are all being referred to the
inspectors who are making the investiga-
ton. The department building is literally
overrun with inspectors. Wherever one
goes he is sure to run into an inspector
busily engaged in going over the records
of the Offices According to the Post
master Generals estimate, two months
more will be required to get all the facts
that are obtainable and place them in a
form that will admit reading in a day or
two. AS the charges multiply and new
phases appear the investigation grows
more and more complicated. 1t is probable
that at least Is per cent of the charges
will prove groundlesS, perhaps a much
greater proportion.
No move has been made by the Post
master General to fill the two vacancies
in the department, and 1t is understood
that nothing will be done In regard to
them until after the investigation is COM
pleted Mr.. Payne has not yet signified
whom he intends to appoint to the places
now open, but it is believed that he has
made up his mind whom to appoint, and
unless something unforeseen happens he
will give the positions to two officials who
have shown marked ability to fill them.

WILL BE SUPERSEDED.
s. B. Wills Refused to Take the Oath
for Conscientious Reasons,

Mr.. 8. r. Wills of Pittsburg, recently ap-
pointed third-class assistant inspector Of
steel material to be used in the hulls of
naval vessels, has declined to subscribe to
the necessary oath Of Office because the
federal Constitution, which he must swear
to uphold and defend. does not recognize
God. Mr.. Wills is member Of the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, one Of whose
tenets is that the existence of God must
be recognized In every act of a public or
private character. 1t is probable that Mr..
Wills place will be given to some one who
is willing to swear to defend the Constitu-
ton as it stands.
