TAFT WILL SUPERVISE
CUBAN AFFAIRS TO BE UNDER
WAR DEPARTMENT CONTROL.

Despite the fact that Judge Magoon Will
relieve Secretary Taft at Havana as pro-
visional governor Of Cuba. the latter. on
his return to Washington, will continue to
exercise supervisory control over the adj
ministration Of affairs in the island as the
immediate personal representative of the
President. Secretary Taft will act in the
matter Of Cuban affairs just as he does
with regard to the affairs OF the Philip
pine Islands and the Panama canal zone.
The business affairs of those governments
are under the supervision OF the Secretary
of War. and the records and accounts are
kept IN the bureau of insular affairs. That
bureau is well equipped for the service and
with slightly increased force can readily
perform the additional work entaied by
existing conditions in Cuba
The bureau Is the natural heir to this
Cuban work, for the reason that 1t per-
formed a similar service when United
States troops occupied Cuban territory af-
ter the Spanish war. Capt. Frank Mc1n-
tyre Is acting chief of the bureau in the
moned to Havana to confer with Secretary
Taft regarding the organization of the bu-
reau for the new work, and is now on his
way back to Washington to put the Sec
reeary's plans into effect
There is no present intention on the part
of the President to order additional troops
to Cuba. 1t is believed in official and mill
tary circles that the first brigade will be
sufficient, with the marines. under the COM
mand of Lieut.. Col. L. w. T. Waller. to up
hold the provisional government established
by Secretary Taft.
In order that the War Department may
be in readiness to meet any emergency.
however, complete preparations have been
made by the general staff for the embarka-
ton for Cuba OF a second expedition. These
troops will not be sent unless the first
brigade meets with some unlocked for OBJ

that the prospects for the second round Of
match play In the womans national golf
championships were not inviting. The COM
mittee in charge, however. decided that a
postponement was not necessary and prepa-
rations were made for q wet day on the
course. At least five OF today's contests
were looked upon as of doubtful result. 1t
was generally thought that the present
champion. Miss Pauline Mackay, would de-
feat Mrs. W. Fellows Morgan. The other
matches scheduled were: Miss Georgtanna
Bishop against Mrs. F. w. Bachelor. Miss
Mary B. Adams against Mrs 8. F. Lefferts.

matches had developed into surprisingly
close affairs Miss Adams and Mrs. Lef-

an unexpected hard contest, and they were

marvellous putting by the winners Mrs.
Batchelder in a number of holes took only

a better card than Mrs Morgan, but her

NEW RATE BILL.
Discussion by Commissioner Garfield
in Buffalo

BUFFALO, N. Y, October 10.-Govern-
mental control of the corporations was the
subject which Commissioner James r. Gar
field of the bureau of corporations and in
dustries of the Department of Commerce
and Labor chose for his address before the
Westminster Club last night. Mr.. Garfield
said that organized labor was just as i'm
portant a part of our organized industrial
system as was organized capital, and that
organized labor was now going through the
same conditions which organized capital
had gone through for fifty years He said
that he had found among the leaders as
well as the rank and file of organized labor,
men who represented the highest type of
American citizenship, and that because now
and then a dishonest or unprincipled man
was found among them 1t was unfair to
critlcise all organized labor from the same
viewpoint
Mr. Garfield dwelt at some length with
the new rate bill which he said would
throw light on the corporate interests.
1t Is now up to the government. he con-
tinued, to see that experts are hired. who
will be able to go over the books of the
railroad companies: men VINO will be able
to trace every penny and who will be able
to tell when rebate Is given, no matter in
what form 1t is given.
Under this system the managers will be
afraid to give rebates, he said
Continuing, he said the situation had SIM
mered down to where 1t was simply ques-
ton of the government controlling the cor
porations the corporations controlling the
government. Rich men good to have,
but, above all. we want men who have made
their money honestly and not by financial
jugglery and deceit We don't want these
sort of men. even though they do build
monuments. They the men who look
upon life as the seeking of more money. The
problems of capital and labor will not be
solved by these men.
Mr. "a hSf ha nf
ernment regulation was shown in our ma
tional banking system. He admitted. how
ever, that there could be some improvement
in that.

LUCIEN CONEN DEAD.
Mrs. Jeanette May, Who Shot Him,
Relieved of Murder Charge.

LOUISVILLE. KY, October 10.-Lucien
Conen, formerly a member of the United
States Marine Band. and who was shot in
Washington one year and twelve days ago
by Mrs. Jeanette May, died at his home
here last night. Had Conen died twelve
days ago Mrs. May would have had to face
a charge of murder. but she can now only
be tried for shooting and wounding.
The shooting of Conen by Mrs. May was
of considerable local interest. Conen was

was shot by Mrs. May. She claimed that
Conen had made remarks derogatory to
her character.
Had Conen died within a year of the date
of the shooting, as stated Mrs. May might
have been indicted for murder in the first
degree. The grand jury, however. has been
considering the matter of late. 1t is under

weapon, and the other assault with intent

WASHINGTON NEWS"

Until the Northwest Press ASS0cla-
ton tumbles to the fact that its pro-
vince is to give news and not to lecture
or abuse the President of the United
States, the World will struggle along
without it's services. The letter at
hand this week starts off with an at
tack on the president, jumps from that
to quotation from lessen In geo.
graphy, which tells the people of Idaho
how much bigger our state is than
several other states; advises the editors
of Idaho as to the quality of Senator
Heyburn's repubfeanism, and sums up
with the information that some citizen
of Idaho has secured and increase of
pension.
AS bureau for the dissemination of
news the Northwest Press Associa-
tom is a hopeless failure. -Weiser
World.
The news letter referred to in the
above manifesto was published in the
MINING NEWS last week, and while we
must admit the correspondent does not
strictly follow the line which should be
pursued by the news gatherer, he comes
as close to it as the common run OF
Washington correspondents, and we
feel safe in saying he came much nearer
stating the facts as to the president,
Senator Hepburn, and the size OF Idaho
than many of them are doing every
day. Especially as relates to Hepburn
and the Importance of Idahos future
welfare. Subjects, by the way, upon
which the World seems to have recent
" experienced paralysis of the types.
Besides that part of the letter relating
to the president was not given as the
correspondents veiws but as veiws OF
public men who are on the ground.
Views by the way which are held by
every informed, right thinking man
and newspaper wherever found, the
views of the World to the contrary
notwithstanding. For it is a we'll es-
tablished tenet of common decency and
courtesy which prohibits the repay
ment of favors and hospitality received,
with injury. This law even the presi-
dent of the United States cannot ignore
and keep his reputation for fair mind
edness unimpaired, whether that presi-
dent is Theodore Roosevelt or some one
else.
AS foreshadowed by the news letter
referred to, the president should have
a special train by all means and every
other facility necessary to make hin
independent, at least of the interests i
q is his duty to curb and regulate.
AS to Senator Heyburn,s republican
ism which for some occult reason ap
: pears to excite the ire of the World, i
needs no defense here or elsewhere, tn
fact that he refused to hold the party
chief responsible for the villanious at
tacks made upon him by the pres
bureau of the forestry graft servic
will be held as sufficient evidenc
of his regularity, at least by those VIII
have been identified with the part
sufficiently long to lend weight to thei
opinion in such matters.
The good fortune which attended tn
effort of one of Idaho's old soldiers
securing substantial increase of h
pension through the direct irstrumel
tally of Congressman French, instes
of evoking words of congratulation fl
Mr.. French and the veteran, calls fort
nothing but sneers, the result no doul
of an aggravated case of mental dyspe
STA, superinduced probably by the +
cent Sleeves pronunciamento.
