SAY REPORT WAS EDITED
General Miles Friends Claim Por.
tions Of His Philippine State
ment Were Suppressed.

. Washington, May 12.-Denials by war
department officials that General Miles
report had been "doctored'' or important
parts OF it suppressed have put the friends
OF the commanding general in an angry
mood and they are now particularizing.
They assert that a letter Of General
Davis to the commanding general was ex-
plunged. This told Of the arrangement by
which General Bell and his commissary
sold rice to starving prisoners at a profit
OF from rs to 100 per cent. The report
touched upon this ARA ngement, briefly,
but as General Davis letter was included
in the report, General Miles did not enter
into details.
His friends say that the words copy
inclosed herewith which called attention
to the Davis letter, were struck out and
the Davis letter expunged.
1t is also charged that where General
Miles made the assertion that 100000 draft
animals had persisted in Luzon by war
and pestilence, the printed copies Of the
report were made to read 10000.
It is maintained that the department is
SURPRISING another report made by Cen
eral Miles in which he names some Of the
men he believes to irresponsible for atroc-
tiles committed by American troops in tho
islands. It is said the names Of Generals
Funston, Chaffee Jacob Smith, Bell and
others appear prominently in this report

suit Against the Southern pacific.

Suit for st,oo0,ooo taxes against the
Southern Pacific has been begun at Louis
vile by W. L. Weller, Jr., revenue agent
for Kentucky. The petition alleges that
the corporation has not paid taxes on Its
personal property In five years. and that
81, O00,0 900 is now due the state. The
Southern Pacific Is a Kentucky corpora
ton, but aside from the franchise obtained
to give 1t corporate existence and such
stock and bonds as may be held by indi-
viduals owns no property in the state.
The suit is based purely on its franchise
rights embodied in the power to own
stocks, bonds and other personally Re-
fusal to pay taxes subjects the delinquent
to q 20 per cent penalty. The petition
asks that the court assess against the de-
PENDANT all taxes and penalties now due
| and unpaid.

DEAL WITH iNTERuReAN
Iowa Central and Des Moines lnterurbar
Make an Agreement.


Make an Agreement.
Special 70 Tho Journal.
Marshalltown. May lat is under
stood here that the Des Moines Interur-
ban has about completed a traffic agree
ment with the Iowa Central whereby Iowa
Central freight consigned to Des Moines
will be turned over to the Interurban at
Newton for shipment to Des Moines and
the latter will turn over Des Moines
freight consigned to the north to the Iowa
central at the same point. The Interurban
rates are said to be Is per cent less than
the Rock Islands on all shipments be-
tween Colfax and Des MONIES and the
same relative reduction will be continued
when 1t completes It's line to Newton. A
traffic agreement with the Iowa Central
would undoubtedly prove mutually bene-
fetal. The fare charged by the Interur-
ban to Colfax from Des Moines is only
a little more than half the amount
charged by the Rock Island and by turn
Ing over the traffic to the Iowa Central a
considerable saving could be made to
points north.
