WOULD BENEFIT THE SERVICE.
Proposed Extension of Enlisted Term
in Porto Rico.

The Secretary of War has transmitted to
the president OF the Senate, with a request
for action In connection with the army
appropriation bill, draft of a proviso to ex-
tend the terms of enlistment for enlisted
men in the Porto Rico Provisional Regi-
ment OF Infantry.
These me mare now enlisted for a period
of two years only and re-enlistment IS pro-
hibited in time OF peace, except in the
case of non-commissioned officers. 1t is be-
lieved that this condition is detrimental
to the welfare of the regiment the men
upon discharge, who cannot procure situa-
tons in the insular police with the
trolley companies return home and revert
to their former status, and the amount of
military knowledge which they have ac-
quired and are supposed to impart to their
fellow men is nil. The military authorities
of the opinion that an infantry soldier
cannot be developed in much less than two
years, and 1t requires that length of time
for an enlisted man to become of value to
the government. The regimentad commander
believes that the proposed amendment will
be for the best interests of the regiment
more economical for the government and
will meet with the entire approval of the
people of the island. The field officers and
company commanders unanimous in
their recommendations for an increased
length of enlistment and the privilege of
re-enlistment, which 1t is proposed to ex-
tend to all the enlisted men.

FOUND MURDERED IN HIS BED.
Prominent Roanoke, Va, Man Victim
of Mysterious Crime.

]. B. Traynham, one of the oldest citi-
zens Of Roanoke, Va, was found murdered
In his room in the rear of the city hall
yesterday afternoon. He was for Elk years
city sergeant and for many years city
Taller He retired to his room Sunday night
This was the last seen of him alive.
Mr.. Traynham was found lying on his
bed, which was spotted with blood. His
head had been split open, evidently with
an ak, the entire blade. even to the helve
penetrating the brain, and his chin was
almost cut off by a blow from an ak or
Ratchet His throat was cut on the left
side. as II blade had penetrated it In an
attempt to sever the jugular vein. In his
forehead were several gashes. all of which
had penetrated the skull.
No weapons were found IN the room. and
the wounds were of such a nature as to
preclude any possibility of suicide cor
oner's jury decided that Mr. Traynharn was
murdered and that the weapon used was
either Ratchet or an ak.
The tragedy occurred right next to the
court house and within fifty feet of the
police station. There is NOT the slightest
clue to the perpetratot.
Mr. Traynham was siXty-nine years old
and an eX-confederate soldier, having
served throughout the war in Wilcox s
Brigade. Robbery was evidently not the
incentive, his money was not touched
and his valuable gold watch was found
hanging near his bed IN its accustomed
place.

GREETED WITH ENTHUSIASM.
Secretary Roots Good Wishes for the
Southern Republics.

At the banquet given by the Brazilian am
basador and Madame Nabuco in honor of
the Secretary of State and Mrs. Root last
Thursday evening Mr. Root made a brief
speech which was received with great en-
thusiasm at the time and has been the sub
ject of much comment since among the
memOers of the diplomatic corps from the
other American republics. In few appro-
pirate and eloquent words, which were re-
ported In The Star on the following day, the
Brazilian ambassador proposed the health
of the Secretary of State. In response, Mr..
Root said:
When President Monroe coming to the
aid of struggling LatinAmerica, made the
audacious and gallant declaration that no
part of the American continent must be
deemed subject to colonization by any Eu-
ropean power, he affirmed the proposition
that all the American republics are compe-
tent to maintain throughout their territories
governments answering to the demands OF
civilization, preserving order, enforcing law,
doing Justice and performing all interna-
tional obligations
ITO that proposition all OF US stand COM
mitted. Its truth we all maintain. Every
evidence in its support IS a source of salts
faction to us Every forward step in the
path of progress by any American republic
Is cause of joy to all OF us.
Let me then Mr.. Ambassador, pass
along the toast which you were good enough
to propose to my unworthy self. l ask you
10 drink to the sisterhood of American re-
pubhccs. May every one of them grow in
prosperity and strength May the indie
pendence, the freedom and the rights of
the weakest be ever respected equally with
the rights of the strongest. and may we all
do our share toward the building up of a
sound and enlightened public opinion of the
Americas which shall everywhere, upon
both continents, nightly promote the reign
OF peace, of order and of justice, in every
American republic.
