SECRETARY ROOT TAKES THE STAND
AND TEsTIFIEs CONCERNING THE
 ACTS OF GENERAL WOOD.
Knew All the Time What Wood was Doing-kcted Under His Orders. Jai-Aiai Not a Gambling Concern, But Like Horse Race Pools.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Secretary Root was on the stand in the " ood in- vestigadon today. He was asked especially about the charge which Major Rathbone had made that Gen. eral Wood had influenced the courts in the prosecution of Rathbone, and had tempered with the courts. The Secretary explained at some length the court system in Cuba. saying that the Court of First Instance was in reality the officer directed to prosecute and to obtain evidence. He was some thing like the grand jury in finding evidence. but was further empower ed to go out and obtain evidence, min gle with the people, procure affidav- its and otherwise collect evidence against the alleged offenders The Secretary said that he knew what Gen. Wood was doing in this matter and approved of it. The Secretary said that, in fact, he directed that the prosecution of offenders be vigorous. and General Wood was acting in this matter under orders from the war department
 The Secretary took up the subject of the Jai-Alai company concession, and said that this was not a gambling company, nor was the game peIcta, played under the management of the company. a gambling game any more than was a horse race or a game of baseball. Men could bet on results as upon other games -. kill He said that the conces5.cn. CT right of the Jai-Alai company was granted be- tore the American occuQ2 ion, and that the concession for which General Wood had been criticised was that of an addition to the building of the com pany. The only question in regard to this grant, was to whether or not it would be contrary to the Foraker amendment. The whole matter was referred to the war department by General Wood. The subject was first considered by Judge Magoon, law of. ficer of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, who, after a most careful review of the case, had held that the extension did not come within the Foraker amendment preventing the granting of a franchise in Cuba. The Secre- tary said he reviewed Judge Magoon's opinion and came to the same conclu- sion. The authority granted to the company was then approved by the War Department, so that General Wood in this matter acted under his instructions, and with the approval of the War Department

 Finding after a careful canvas made among the miners from Colorado Utah and other northern points al present in Bisbee. as well as a gener- al canvas of the Western District that they are not in favor of an or ganization of union in this district at the present time, and as it was among them that I expected to receive my heartiest support, I deem it ad visable NOT TO TRY ANY FUR day to headquarters of the Western Federation of Miners at Denver, Col orado, to the above effect, to stop Or ganizer Lewis from coming to Bisbee
 In this regard and to the conditions of this camp. find that the expression among members of the union here are OPPOSED to the unionizing oi the camp. as being wholly unnecessa- sary the conditions in Bisbee being the MOST FAVORABLE TO THE MINERS OF ANY PLACE IN THE UNITED STATES where mining is engaged in. The support offered e. wards organization came more from the outsiders than from union men themselves. and I leave here thor. oughly satisfied that Bisbee miners are well treated, generously paid, and nc rules exist which would conflict with Western Federation requirements and demands.
 (Signed) ED KENNEDY
 Having made and signed tue above frank statement, MT Kennedy thank ed the Review for It's faif expressions from its standpoint, which he said he realized were correct from the condi. tions of the camp, an thai 1t nad op posed him openly, and l., Ia, no per sonal feeling in regard t2 the rather severe touches he had received when he first appeared in print.

 FEDERATION MINERS.

A caller at the office of the Review yesterday was Ed Kennedy. who came to Bisbee to organize this camp on the union plan. For some reason he did not call here so that you would notice it at first very strongly, but as he expressed himself while here Wednesday, had evidently been well paper was to treat him fairly. but take issue with him, when ;he Review knew it was voicing the sentiment of this community on the subject of un ionizing the camp. The Review did not know Kennedy. It had no per sonal feeling in the matter. Neither cid it care whether he or anybody else belonged to one or a hundred unions, any more than it made any difference as to what was his relig ion. Those are individual matters with which it has nothing to do. But it did know, and knew beyond all question, that this camp had a host of the very best miners in the coun, try from Colorado, from Utah and oth CT northern points, whose experience there had been of the most bitter kind. On this matter it was and is pretty thoroughly informed. It also knew that this camp was the best mining camp in the United States to day without any controversy, that il had been such for over twenty years that the men were humanely, kindly treated, well paid, and that Bisbee was the most contented camp to De found anywhere. The Review, there fore, had no hesitation in taking open and direct controversy with MT. Ken nedy at once and his object in coming to this camp That this course was justified. is best evidenced by the statement below, and the hearty er dorsement accorded this paper by the miners of this city, miners who belong to the unions elsewhere.
 MT. Kenendy called at this office as stated, and requested that the state ment herewith be published in the Review this morning:

gation of the charges against General Leonard Wood, filed for the purpose oN preventing his confirmation as major general Secretary Root was the only witness today. He was or the stand for two and a half hourz al the forenoon session, and occupiel the attention of the committee tonight from o'clock until 11:20 The com mittee will meet tomorrow to prepare its report It is understood confirma tor will be recommended by a vote of s to ?. The minority report vii be made by the opposing members ot the committee.
 The testimony of Secretary Root is practically the only defense that has been made of General Wood in the I tirins, which has extended since about the beginning of the extraordl nary session of congress. This tes timony, however, covered the entire range of evidence produced against General Wood, and was supported ir many instances with correspondence and other data taken from the records at the War Department covering the period of General Woods administra- tiCn as Governor General of Cuba.
 Secretary Root undertook to as sume the whole responsibility for the orders issued by General Wood af fecting the judicial system in Cuba and concerning the concession grant ed to the Jai-Alai Co., at Havana. He justified the acceptance by General Wood of the present of the silver set from the Jai-Alai Co

Continued favorable reports arrive While the phenomenally rich ore is not encountered any more. the latest reports stamps the mine as a perma. nent producer and gives assurances of a mine, whose proceeds in the flu ture can now be reckored in the mil lions. The development work in the past has consisted of tunnels anG winZes and the recent encounter of the ore body in the tunnel at a depth of S64 feet below the surface. has put prospects, and into that of the perma- nent and paying mines.
 The rich gold bearing ledge at this depth has not been cut yet, although the face of the tunnel has been in the ore for several days. The Review has it on good authority that this ore will average s100 to the ton. and a conservative estimate of the ore in sight at the present time is s1.OOO,OOo.
 When one stops to consider that the
 
 only $650,OOO the value of the Lucky Tiger stock is easily computed.
 The last quotation was s13 per share, the par value of the same be- ing S10 per share. It Will not be at all surprising in the face of the above returns that the Lucky Tiger stock should take a shoot upwards.
 The office of the company will shortly be removed to Douglas to en- able the management in Bisbee to be closer to the scene of operations.
 Compressed air drills will be brought into use at the mines shortly. and a large stamp mill is an assured fact before the year 1904 has advanc- ed very far.
