Root on consulates.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Secretary
Root has made to the congressional
committees a very plain statement con
corning the shortcomings of the Amer.
ican consular service, which he declares
ated people that occupy the places.
Said Mr.. Root: There are a great
many co%nsulates in an unsatisfactory
condition., simply because these con-
sulates are used and regarded by con-
gressmen not as places in which active
official work is to be done, but as places
in which to shelve estimable and elder
ly gentlemen, whom friends find it nee
essary to take care of in some way"

GOVERNOR OF PHILIPPINES WILL

SiTlON AT THE MIkA-

viii Resign to Accept Position, News
Being Quite Gratifying to His
Enthusiastically Root Tells
Congressional Committees Some
Plain Facts Concerning Consul
ates, Many consuIs Are Toe Old.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The state de-
partment today announced that the
first American ambassador to Japan
would be Luke Wright, the present
governor of the Philippines, who will
resign to accept the position. David
Thompson, former ambassador to Bra
I'll, will be tent to Mexico, and Lloyd
Griscom, former minister to Japan, will
be sent to Brazil.
The appointment of Gov. Wright of
the Philippines to be ambassador OF
Japan is very gratifying to his friends,
but is a Disappointment to Griscom,
who as consul general hoped for this
position. Governor Wright was born
in Tennessee sixty years ago. He was
for eight years attorney general Of his
state. Twelve years ago he was ap-
pointed president of the Philippine
United States commission and subse-
quently governor. He is known as a
gold democrat.

DAM GONE AGAIN.
Union Pacific Structure at Evanston
Gives Way for Second Time.

Evanston, Wyo., Jan. 19.-The big
ice dam of the Union Pacific, located
in the canon above Evanston, gave
away a second time yesterday morn
ing, permitting a large volume of wa
ter and broken ice to come down into
the valley. The lower portions of the
city were inundated, and a number of
houses were damaged. There was no
loss of life, as the roar of the rushing
water and ice gave all warning in
time to seek safety. The destruction
of the big Ian is now complete, and
it is doubtful if it will be reconstruct
ed. The 1906 crop of ice is also a
total loss. Less than a month ago a
portion of the dan gave way, and the
lowlands were flooded at that time.
The damage was repaired, the reser
voir again filled and the company was
about to harvest its crop of ice.

Prosecute Them in Return for
Valuable Evidence Given Up at
Time of lnvestigation-Gas Com
pany Refuses Terms of Council.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 19.-Attorney Mil

closures made to him. He said the
packers gave Garfield access to their
innermost secrets solely on his repre-
sentation Of April 10, 1904, that the
department of justice would not use
the evidence thus obtained. No denial
vas made by Miller of the truthful.
ness of the revelations obtained.

Colored Men in Trouble Over Sale of
 Barber Shop.

Martin Hanson was before Judge Burpee to-day charged with violating the probation law. On March 31 he was ordered to pay his wife SC q week for six months. He paid two weeks and not penny since. X few days ago his wife complained to Probation Officer Combellnck that he was drink. ing and eating the food ordered by doctor tb his two sick children and Mrs Hanson would not tolerate this. On his promise to give the probation officer an order for he weekly amount on his employers the case was continued
 Frank Williams. colored. was charged with breach of the peace but the case was continued to tomorrow morning. Harry Walker, also coiored. owned q barber shop on rock street and about month ago Williams agreed to buy him out. He paid down q few dollars and agreed to pay weekly sum until the full amount should be paid. whereupon he was given possession. Then it occurred to him that if he failed to make his weekly payment he would lose not only the shop but all he had paid. To avoid such happening he wished to have clause inserted ill his con- tract but Walkers counsel, Attorney Bauby. would not agree to this, whereupon Williams refused to make any further payments. Walker then wanted back his barber shop and Williams his money. 1t was q race between the men yesterday morning to reach the shop. Williams got there first and it is claimed that he broke in the door. A warrant was instantly issued for his arrest but he heard ne was wanted by the police and he surrendered at noon. His counsel. Attorney J. J. O'Neill. claimed trial this morning but as the state was unable to reach it's witnesses the case was put back to tomorrow.

SMITH FAMILY Ev1cTrD.
Removed to Brookside Home Bv the
 Authorities This Morning.

Mrs Margaret Smith and her large family of small children presented a sad sight this morning at the police station, from which place they were removed to the Brookside home. The youngsters, half dozen in all, rang ed in ages from three months to nine or ten years and showed unrnistak- able evidence of neglect, and yet they looked healthy and probably needed nothing but a change of clothing and something to eat to make them cheerful and happy. The woman was evicted this morning from house on Ayers street and objected so strenuously that Consta- ble Hoppe had her arrested and talk en to the police station in the patrol wagon. This of course upset the children and they made quite scene. Later the little ones were brought to the station in hack, most of them bareheaded and all of them so badly scared that they shrank back from everybody who went near the vehicle and huddled together just like wild birds caught in trap. But when they saw the mother coming through the doorway of the station their faces frightened up and when the woman opened the door and exclaim- ed, "Oh, my children" their joy knew no bounds, even the tot of baby appearing to recognize the voice and join in the general rejoice ing. The natural bread winner of the family is said to have deserted them and to make matters worse Su- perintendent Combellack said that the woman has not been doing what is right, either. Be that as it may, the spectacle was there and probably nothing sadder has come to the notice of the authorities in many day.
