Fourteenth and g Streets, N. W.
WASHINGTON. .. c.. Dec 1.-The
fact was developed to-day that so great
is the desire OF President Roosevelt to
have the Senate confirm the nomination
OF General Leonard Wood to be major
general that he has sent for the mem
bers OF the Senate Committee on Military
yAnairs and requested them not to report
adversely upon the nomination.
1t Is believed that every member Of the
committee has been seen by the Prest-
dent.
Ut is. certain that, in addition to his
making. tho request OF several OF the
members, two Of the Demo-
Gratis on tho committee have been asked
to grant the similar favor The members
Of committee were semitic by the
President a various times to come to
isee him, and when. they ca lied at ti sthe
White !; House. he preferred 4 the request
TO s.lieip along the confirmation OF the
nominal auon OF iilB pet. 4; ~, e s al9i$
FlS It Is not thought tina Z t his. "a ton on
the part OF ( the ! Executive has helped
the cause OF Wood. It is known that 1t
has pre1udiced the mind Of one Of the
committee against him, and. as matters
are now, he, will vote against report
recomm ending the confirmation. 4
TO SUMMON WOOD. i,f5
The assertion made In some quarters
that Wood would probably be sunni
moned from the Philippines to- testify
before the committee. in view Of the
very grave charges which have been
smada against him, especially by General
Brooke, appears to be niifounded.. An
offlcial OF the War Department said to;
day that nothing had been heard OF any
Intention on tho part Of the committee
to ask that Wood be brought here, and
a member of the committee thought that
this would not be done.
The statement made In number or
newspaper which favor the contirn:1'a1-
ton OF Wood, that II the nomination Is
not confirmed he and all the officers
under him, who have been promoted
becauso Of tho promotion. OF Wood,
would have to retire from the army,
because their old places were filled. Is
entirely incorrect.&fIf the nomination is
NOT confirmed General Wood Will re-
sumo tho rank of brigadier, the colonel
who was promoted to that rank. IN ms
place will become o colonel again. ana
= WOOD WILL RESIGN.
II IS said thatsif tho nomination be
not con fir1ned Wood will resign his
commission 1t would appear that II the
testimony now being adduced should
cause the. Senate to refuse to confirm
the nomination.. o court-martinl and O
dishonorable discharge would be the neXt
things which General Wood would nave
to confront There can he no doubt OF

A Peculiar Land Case.

The land contest case of P. L. Orcutt
of Moscow against J. c. Muerman. which
was to have been heard in the Lewiston
land Office on Wednesday, October ID,
has been postponed until next February,
to allow attorneys for Muerman to secure
affidavts from Mr.. Muerman. who is in
the Philippine islands as a teacher in the
public schools.
many parties in this section. In 1899,
Professor J. {. Muerman, who was then
superintendent of the city schools of
Moscow, filed on 100 acres of fine timber
land lying about II miles north of Troy,
as homestead. In 1901, Mr.. Muerman,
in company with his family, left for the
Philippine islands, where he had been
sent by the government as teacher, and
where he is still employed.
Last spring Mr.. orcutt fled contest,
alleging abandonment by Mr.. Muerman
of his claim. He has since amended his
complaint and now claims that Mr.. Muer-
man never made proper settlement on
the claim, nor had he at any yime made
such improvements as were contemplated
under the homestead laws. At the time
of Muerman's departure for the Philip
pine island he was given leave of absence
from his homestead for one year by the
Lewiston land Office.
Much interest is being taken in the
case by large number of partiesin in Mos
COW, who have held homestead entries in
the timber very much as Muerman. it is
claimed. is attempting to hold his, with
out having made any attempt to make a
bona fida settlement on the land or inn
proving it in any way. beyond the erec-
ton of a small log cabin.

Wheat on Nezpsrce Prairie Damaged.

J. c. Harding and little son returned
from a visit to the Nezperce prairie yes
terday. Mr.. Harding states that there is
a large amount of threshing to be done
around Nezperce and more in the Ilo and
Cold springs countries. The weather has
been very bad and although there are a
large number of threshers working IS
hours per day on the crop the bad con-
dition of the straw causes slow work,
poor threshing and 10 days will be re-
quired to complete the work if the
weather continues good. None of the
grain to be harvested will pass at the
ware houses for No. and some will fall
as low as No. 8. The ware house men
will lose little, however as damp grain
kept until December will have become
dried by the freezing process.

Aust Have q License

A special from Boise says that State
Game Warden M. v. Iorns is enroute to
Kendrick whittier he was called by wire.
Iorns says that good many people are
hunting with permits issued by officers
who have run out of license blanks. All
such are subject TO arrest and must send
or go to the officer who issued the per-
NIT and secure license. There has been
ample time for all to get licenses and
those found hunting without them will
be arrested.
1t seems number of justices of the
peace have been issuing permits when
they had license blanks. In one case 1t
is known that about 400 have been issued
and 10 licenses reported. There is likely
to be trouble over some of these cases as
the warden is getting evidence and pro-
poses TO prosecute delinquents.
