The death Of Ali was an incident Of
battle fought by Captain Frank Nc

g Ali, who has been the chief cause of
trouble in Mindanao for the last two
years, lately took the Warpath to kill
three of his personal enemies among
the Moros who had assisted the Amer

Americans who came in the way Of his
vengeance were to suffer also. accord
ing to his proclamation. Already his
wars had cost thousands of lives. So
General Buchanan promptly sent ten
companies of troops from zamboanga
to deal with Ali
Captain Mccoy, with 100 soldiers and
$50 bearers, executed a brilliant march
of five days thru a hostile country, cut

swamps and mountains, and caught Ali

in an isolated hut, but guarded by

by Prosecuting Attorney Stillwell to

Grim has furnished the coroner the
names of the men who can testify to
circumstances incriminating certain in
dividuals already under suspicion.
Grim testified that he viewed the
body Of Pierson in Cincinnati, and that
the marks on the ankles and wrists were
from ropes, and indicated that Pierson
had been tied to the tracks with the use

is such step contemplated by the ad-
already been arranged.
: President Roosevelt, it is known, has
taken a deep interest in the disclosures
made before the Armstrong committee,
and he is said to be the prime mover in
the, plan for national Investigation. In
the past week many conferences have.
been held in Washington regarding the
proposed inquiry and it is now definite
ly decided that such an investigation
shall be made.
According to reports from undoubted
authority special committee is to be
appointed soon after congress convenes.
It has already been decided who shall
introduce the resolution in the house of
representatives and in the senate, but
the names of the members are carefully
guarded. Owing to the fact that in.

not improbable that the report will be
