MILLER SUSTAINED
By ROOSEVELT
Investigation Shows That Some Of
His Statements Were Well
Founded.

Washington, Sept 22.-President
Roosevelt has determined to ask con-
gress to authorize the transfer Of the
government printing Office to the jur-
isiiction and control OF the depar,-
ment of commerce and labor.
A quiet Investigation into the man
ageme4t Of the big printing establish
ment has been going On for several
months under the direction Of Secreta-
ry CorteIyou, and enough information
has been secured to convince the pres
ident that the most radical reforms
should be inaugurated in the printing
office as soon as opssible.
A great mass Of statistics showing
the cost Of printing has been gathered
together with information showing the
methods Of work, and this, it is be-
lived, will demonstrate to congress
the necessity for placing the establish
ment under the supervision Of an eX-
ecutive department.
Miller" Makes Good"
The investigation ordered by the
president was based upon certain
statements made by W. A. Miller. The
assistant foreman, who declared that
the cost OF the work in the bindery
was excessive, and who also offered
to show that in other branches of the
printing office there was room for i'm
provement. Miller's charges led to an
inquiry, which showed they were
based on fact.
Secretary Cortelyou then began to
collect additional information which
the president desired. This inves-iga-
ton had not proceeded very far be-
fore it was evident that thousands Of
dollars had been wasted in the man
agement of the printing Office.
The plan Of having publications
printed by the government printing
office is followed by nearly all depart
ments. which receive from congress
each year a certain allowance for
printing and binding.
The unicn's Influence.
When printing is to be done, the
head Of q department gets from the
public printer an estimate. and if the
work is ordered. the cost is charged
against the account of the depart
ment. In many cases the departments
could have saved money by getting
their printing done by private firms.
One reason for the increased cost at
the government printing office is de-
clared to be the fact that the labor
organizations have dictated the
amount Of work to be turned in he
various branches Of the office ana
have thus reduced the output Of the
force without deducting the cost of
operation.
Officials who are in a position to
know the true inwardness of the
printing Office investigation say that
the government printing office has
charged high prizes in many other
cases for work performed for the de-
partments and that a complete ana
thorough report Of these will be made
to the president by the department of
commence which is conducting the
inquiry.

enjoyed wonderful prosperity In Inn

People have been coming in from the

people win come here In such numbers
as they come there. They do not know
about Oregon. Many think Oregon is
In Washington. because that state has
been no laylshly advertised that the
impression prevails that Washington is

had been no communication of any
kind from the jury room. The
Judge instructed the sheriff that
should the jury desire to communi-
cate with him at any time during
the night he would get up and re-.
ceive them.
Colonel Croft, counsel for the
defense, resumed his argument in
the Tillman trial when court con-
vened. He was followed by Gem
Bellinger, who made the closing ar
gument for the state. ,>
At the conclusion of General Bel
fingers argument, Judge Gary inn
mediately entered upon his charge
to the jury. After defining MUIR
der and the different degrees Of
homicide, the court charged the jury
that. plea of self-defense having
been set up, the jury must be satis-
fed by prependerence of evidence
that the defendant was without
fault in bringing on the shooting;
that he believed he was at the time
in danger of receiving serious bodi-
ly injuries or losing his life, and
that a reasonable man of ordinary
hrmness, courage, prudence and
reason would have reached the
same conclusion.
The court concluded the charge
at 1:42 ?. M, when the jury retir-
ed.
Senator Tillman, unc OF the de-
fendant, was in court today.
