4 DJUTANT GENERAL BELL OF
u Colorado has written himself down
as several different kinds OF an ass.
According 90 a dispatch from Denver
published fin The Herald Of yesterday.
he has wired President Roosevelt, ten
dering him the services Of the Colorado
national guard as "a body for service
in Panama I'm case the regulars now
on the ground are unable to cope with
the situation. Somebody ought to lead
Bell TO seat far to the rear Of the
sanctuary and there give him a little
sound advice.
He seems to imagine that-this coun-
try has declared war on the United
states OF Colombia, which it has not,
although Colombia would undoubtedly
be justified in considering the action
OF the United States In relation to the
Panama instruction as an act of war.
Up TO date. however. no call for vol
unteers has been issued and we are
prone 70 confess our belief that no call
viii be issued.
Further, IL war was actually on be-
tween the United States of America
and the United States Of Colombia. and
t call for volunteers had been is
sued, Adjutant General Bell would
have grossly exceeded his authority
In making the tender. Omers Of that
character must come from the cover
nor Of the state who is the command
cr-iu-chief ex-oficio Of the national
Euard in his state. We have not the
pleasure Of a personal acquaintance
with Mr. Bell, but we are constrained
TO believe that the wearing Of a triae
Of silt braid and a few pounds OF brass
buttons has turned his head.
BY the way, the administration is
rapidly getting into the middle of
very nasty sort OF mess over that Pan
anna business. The country is not TAX
ing kindly TO the attempt made by our
strenuous and imDulsive president to
seize territory belonging to a nation
with which we are at peace. The fact
that we have the might with which to
enforce what friends Of the president
are pleased to call our right doesn't
altar the facts Of the case. The truth
is that we have no more right to dig
canal through Colombian territory
against the expressed wishes Of Co
lombia than we have to dig a canal
through Canada over the protest Of the
Dominion government.
But the president has taken his leap
and, having taken his leap, he expects
the country to leap after him. as it
has done on one or two other occas-
ions. This time, however, he is doomed
to disaDnOintment The innate sense
Of fairness that rules in the breasts Of
a hberty-loving people will not permit
them to endorse a course so opposed
to all proper ideas Of equity and JUS
tice.

At last the problem Of Tilda AIMS
age is solved Tilda Ann is 49, She
must be. because an eminent judicial
authority has so decreed. The eminent
judicial authority is not the first to
submit this number as the laGy's age.
but the fact that he finds her to be is
settles the question beyond the shadow
OF a doubt The veXed question is
solved, and Tilda Ann herself, even
though she presented an affidavit.
could not make anyone in Utah believe
she was more or less than is years OF
age. Behold.
Here is my solution Of the Tilda
Ann problem:
Mary IS - years old. Mary is twice
as old as Tilda Ann was when Nary
was as old as Tilda Ann is now. How
old is Tilda Amp
Let X equal Tnda AIMS age.
When Mary was as old as Tilda Ann
is now, or Y years old. Tilda Ann was
onc-half Of Mary's present age, or Il
years old.
Then Mary's present age IS made up
OF two parts. viz. X. which Isl Tilda
AIMS age now. and was Mary'q age
when Mary was as old as Tflda Ann
now is. and the time which has elapsed
since, which is all of Tilda AIMS age
except y years. which was Tilda AIMS
age when Mary was as old as Tilda
Ann is now
Hence we have the equation:
X plus x minus y equals "a Mary's
age now; and transposing terms:
* equals 80; and x equals Is, Tilda

Sixteen incorrect, for the reason
when Mary was 16 years. Ann was but
9 years. Hence Mary now is three
times g, or "a years. Problem states:
I she is now twice as old as Ann
was" etc.
The catch" appears to be the word

and AIMS ages.
/ X plus equals "a
x minus y equals 2l-:-2. Add the equa-

x equals IS. AIMS age now.
Y equals 6, difference Of their ages.

FRENCH WERE TO BLAME
WERE AGGREssORs In THE ATTACK
ON AMERICAN SOLDIERS.
Request for Punishment of the Guilty
Persons Made by Captain Brewster,
of the Legation at Peking.

PEKING. Sept. 4.-Severe wounds infict-
ed on two Americans by French soldiers
has created general Indignation against the
policy of German and French commanders
in ordering their soldiers to carry side arms
while off duty. After the German-Austrian
affray last May all of the foreign COM
manders agreed to prohibit the carrying of
side arms while the men were outside of
their posts. This agreement. however, was
overruled by the German general. and the
soldiers Of the Kaiser were again ordered
to wear side arms and their example was
followed by the French. All of the other
foreign soldiers travel about unarmed.
Witnesses of the affair of yesterday de-
clare that the French were clearly the ag-
gressors. The French commander treats
the matter lightly. but strong request for
the punishment of the guilty persons has
been made by Captain Andrew Brewster,
military attache Of the American legation

DENIED BY ". S. TAYLOR
NOTHING IN A STORY TOLD BY t. G.
ROACH IN MEXICO.
Former Governor Not Aware Of Any
Papers That Would Condemn Him
and Clear Caleb Powers.

GEORGETOWN KY, Sept. At. G..
Roach, who has been living in FL Paso,
seems to have created quite a sensation
yesterday in Juarez, Mexico, by the state
ment that Ex-Governor w. s. Taylor and
Caleb Powers would be willing to give 500,
600 for his head and that he is in pos
session of papers which. If made public,
would clear Caleb Powers and condemn
Ex-Governor w. s. Taylor.
The only connection of the Reaches with
the Powers case. so far as Is generally
known, is that Mrs. Roach was at the last
trial and at former trials a witness in
troduced to prove that Caleb Powers prior
to the circumstances which eliminated in
his arrest had assumed all responsibility
for the bringing to Frankfort of the noun
tain men. Mrs. Roach was Miss Sudie
Snuffer, a resident of eastern Kentucky.
and identified a letter received by her from
Caleb Powers. Roachs statement that
what they knew would clear Powers and
condemn Taylor is not i'm keeping with
such conditions.
day Powers said: II know nothing about
the Roach story. All have to saw is that
somebody somewhere has Information
which ii given out would clear me- Some
body killed Mr.. Goebel. that we know II
the guilty parties would only come for
ward and tell the truth L would soon be

KOKOMO Will BE "WET"
TEMPERANCE PEOPLE BEATEN AFT
Err A sEvEN-MONTH CRUSADE.
Drink Sellers Alleged tn Have Tricked

Open ON Monday.

Special to the Indiana polls Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Sept. 4.-After a seven
months crusade against the saloons of
Kokomo. the struggle came to a sudden
end tonight and the war is over for the
present at least. The saloon men won
their point in every ward where there were
applicants for license, and the antis were
defeated all along the line. The antis had
remonstrances I'm four of the five wards,
but Withdrawals filed Thursday night
wiped out the majorities The temperance
people hoped to spread the blanket over
all the wards. save one, this time. but it
shrunk and did not cover even one.
1t is alleged the saloons spent money law
ishly in procuring Withdrawals, many hav-
ing signed the remonstrance for the sole
purpose of Withdrawing at the last mo-
ment and leaving the remonstrants in the
minority. The temperance folks admit the
fight has ended and that the saloons have
finally triumphed.
Twelve saloons, including one owned by
Councilman George Stdger, will open their
closed for several months. Next week
Kokomo will be wet again, with saloons
i'm every ward except one. The crusaders
claim they were tricked by saloonists. That
the remonstrance was filled up with names
of saloon sympathizers under the guise OF
temperance workers. all of whom took off
their names at the last minute and left the
antis in hopeless minority. The cases
that had been appealed to the Circuit Court
were dismissed by applicants to-day the
saloons paying all costs.

reason to believe that NJ. Delcasse has been

TO the Beirut incident, but this does not
abate official interest in the future course
