Mr., FA|RBAHES'S PLAN
WOULD EFFECT SAVING
Real Economy in His Contention
for Adequate New Buildings
for Public Departments.
RENTALS ARE VERY HIGH

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-"The recent
criticism OF Senator Fairbanks concerning
his advocacy of measures providing new
buildings for several of the executive de-
partments is absolutely silly" said men,
Der of the Indiana delegation. THE gov
eminent is now expanding thousands OF
dollars year for the rental of quarters
in Washington. Instead of extravaganza,
the movement for additional buildings is
along the lines of economy, and III new
quarters are provided as proposed in bills
now pending Uncle Sam will be the gamer
by thousands of dollars year AT the
present time the Department of Commerce
is occupying private buildings at high
rental. The offices of the attorney general
are scattered all over town. n new build
ing was constructed for the Postotilce De
partment a few years ago. Now the rural
free delivery division and the Bureau OF
Supplies are Obliged to seek accommoda-
tions elsewhere. The government needs
more buildings, and until they are con-
structed il will be necessary TO eXpenu nun
dreds of thousands of dollars a year IN
securing accommodations from one end or
Washington to the other.
THE President recognizes the necessity
for new department buildings. The war

AS chairman of the committee on pubic
buildings Senator Fairbanks is doing a
real service in advocating the construction
of new homes for the departments OF State,
Justice and Commerce and Labor.

Means of Communication Are Few
and Conflicting Reports May
Result.
ONLY TWO BIG FIGHTS

NEW YORK, Feb. PA careful study of
the reports that have reached America and
Europe from the East, including press dis
patches and communications through Off
cial channels, would Indicate that but two
actual conflicts of any moment have so far
occurred. These are the Japanese naval at
lacks on Port Arthur on Monday night and
Tuesday morning and the affair at Chemul-
Do on Monday and Tuesday In circles
whose knowledge of conditions in that part
OF the world allows them TO speak with
accuracy the various reports of other en-
gagements are considered but echoes of
these two fights. News travels slowly in
north China, cable and telegraph facilities
are very limited and Ii is evident that as
reports of the Port Arthur and Chemulpo
aneirs reach various points they are
promptly cabed by resident correspond
ents. resulting in a natural confusion of
dates. The circumstantial report of an
other engagement by the Reuter- Telegram
Company from Toxic, under date of Feb
10, published in this country yesterday
afternoon, also undoubtedly referred to the
original Port Arthur attack. news of which
had just reached Toxic. This belief is
strengthened by the fact that no official
confirmation has been received of subse-
quent engagements, and IL is pointed out
that such official advices were received
through the various embassies at Wash
ington promptly on the heels of the press
reports OF the events OF Monday and Tues
day.
The flood of conflicting dispatches from
various north China points during the Box
er revolution Is recalled For this reason
the report cabled by the Tien-Tsin corre-
spondent of the London Standard that a
Russian fleet had bombarded Hakodate is
entirely disregarded. Naval men in this city
say that so far as Is known the only Rus
sian vessels in position to make a move are
those at NladivOstock, and that IL cannot
for a moment be thought they would be
withdrawn from the defense of the impor-
tant depot. even if they free of the
ice, and not blocked up by a japanese
squadron, as had been reported. In view
of the fact that there is no cable communi-
cation between Japan and China, except
by way OF Shanghai. IL Is asserted to say
the least. improbable that such important
news would be first heard in the inland
town OF Tien-Tsin.
The official notice sent out last night from
st. Petersburg that the cable from Vladi-
vostock to Nagasaki the telegraph line from
Seoul to Masampho and the telegraph line
from Seoul to Wonsan are broken. limits
communication with Japan to the cables
that land at Shanghai. which are under
Japanese censorship. This is additional rea-
son to discredit the vague reports of fur
Their engagements.

DESERTIONS DUE TO
RICARTE'S INFLUENCE
Governor Wright Cables Concern
ing Detection of a Detachment
of Ilocano Constabulary.

WASHINGTON, Feb PA cablegram
was received to-day from Governor Wright
at Manila, giving the details of the deser-
ton of a detachment of Ilocano constabu-
larry, headed by a corporal Several mem
bers of the band have voluntarily returned
with their arms and ammunition. Governor
Wright says:
1.-The corporal of the detachment was cor
rupted by Ricarte. There is considera BILE
activity on the part of the bands of Monta-
lon and Felizardo, who are being vigorous
ly pursued.
II find Ricarte was in Manila for about
ten days, then went to Rial and then to
Nueva Ecija. He had a large number of
revolutionary proclamations and blank
commissions for the usual number of gen.
erals. He visited Mexico, Nueva Ecija and
probably Arayat, where ex-General Alejan-
drinO lives. The corporal of the Iocano
detachment stationed there was constantly
with Alejandrino. L am inclined to think
he was disaffected through his influence
"A letter from Ricarte, intercepted by
constabulary secret service men, written
from Mexico last November, shows that he
had met with little encouragement UP to
that time and complained of the GOODNESS of
former compatriots. He is now reported to
be in Ilocos Norte. Am having him fol-
lowed closely"

acial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Some interest
ing testimony relative to the obligations OF
Senator Reed Smoot to the Mormon Church
will be brought out when the hearings on
his case are begun before the Senate COM
mittee privileges and elections.
Robert W. Tayler, formerly of Ohio, who
represented the Mckinley district in Con-
gress for number of years and now the at
tOrney of the opponents of Smoot, is here
making arrangements for the witnesses
who will appear against the Utah senator
Eighteen or twenty witnesses will be sum-
moned from Utah. Mr.. Tayler does not
charge Smoot with polygamy but bases his
challenge of Shoots right to seat on the
nature of the obligations which the Nor
mon Church enjoins upon it's adherents. A
private in the ranks, it is asserted. might
subscribe TO these obligations with some
mental reservation, but that one of its
apostles could, Mr.. Tayler does not grant.
He proposes to show what these obliga-
tions are, and expects to demonstrate that
they are inconsistent with the duty man
in official place owes to the government of
the United States.
