SEVEN BRIGADE POSTS
Subject to Be Discussed With
the President.
SECRETARY TAFT'S PLAN
Will Be Hampered by Lack of
Funds.
BEGINNING ONLY TO BE MADE
Work to Be Carried Along as Fast
as Congress Can Be Induced to
Provide the Means.
BEGINNING ONLY TO BE MADE

Secretary Taft has disposed of all the
important business of the military estab-
lishment requiring his immediate attention
In this city, and VIII leave here this even
ing for New York on his way TO Murray
Bay, on the st. Lawrence river, where ne
will spend about six weeks time with his
family. who are already established there
for the summer. Before starting on his
vacation Secretary Taft will visit President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay tomorrow for the
purpose of agreeing upon plan of action
for the establishment of seven brigade
posts In the United States.
The army appropriation bill for the cur
rent fiscal year authorizes the expenditure
of 100000 for the purchase. of land near
Fort Sam Houston, at San Antonio, Texas
This money will provide for one brigade
post and with other available funds it is
planned to form brigade posts at Fort
Leavenworth Kan: Fort Robinson. Neb.;
Fort d. y. Russell. Wyo.; Fort Riley. an,
Fort Sill, Okla, and Fort Oglethorpe, near
Chickamauga.
Secretary Taft's Plans.
After consultation with Gen. Bell, chief
of staff and bureau chiefs, the Secretary
of War has arranged plan OF allotment
of available funds FOR the proposed brigade
posts and it will be submitted to the Presi-
dent tomorrow for his approval.
In order to allay apprehension that exists
In some quarters as 10 the abandonment OF
existing posts, It is officially declared that
1t is not the intention of the War Depart
ment to order the abolition or abandon
ment of any more of the smaller company
and regimental posts, for the present at
least and probably not during the re-
mainder of the calendar year. On the other
hand, 1t will not be practicable, because OF
lack of funds and for purely military rea-
sons, to execute at once the plans for the
creation of all of the brigade posts proposed
by the general staff. All that can be done
now is to make a beginning, taking up one
post at time and carrying the work
steadily along as fast Congress can be
induced to provide the means. until all or
the army is concentrated in six or seven
great posts commanded by general officers
Posts Near Large Cities.
The plea has been made that some of the
posts adjacent to large cities should be
maintained in order that the troops may be
available to suppress riots. Secretary Taft,
however, does not favor that idea, hold
ing that 1t is the duty of the states to main
tain their militia forces in such condition
that they suppress internal disorders
of that kind without recourse to the regu-
lar army, which Is made unpopular by the
service suggested
partment yesterday In answer TO specific in
quiry that pending plans contemplate no
change whatever in the present organiza-
ton of the posts at Fort Myer, Va, at
Washington Barracks or at any of the ar
tillery posts on the Potomac river.

Des Moines, Sept. 1.-The state his
torical building is reveling in great
find. 1t liz stone collar about 20 in
ches long by Is wide, the likes of
which has never before been discov-
cred outside of Porto Rico. The che
at the historical building was receatlv
discovered at Fort Des Moines in max
ing excavations for new building.
How it came there is mystery and
the use and meaning of the collars is
not known to science.
The Smithsonian Institute report for
1876 gives, detailed account and de-
scription Of similar collars of stone in
the George Latimer collection. Those
in the Latimer collection were all foun
in Porto Rico in one place and il WAS
supposed the find had located all

completed collars have designs and
images OH the sides, and other indica-
tons thai they served some purpose.
1t is possible that the natives wore
them about their necks as Y punish-
ment for breaches of moral law. AT the
same time there is absolutely no cue
to the use. to which they were put.
The mystery of the find at Fort Dies
Moines hinges on the ea:-. chat some
forty years ago large number OF
these stone collars were found in one
place in Porto Rico and the entire find
came into the possession of the Smith
sonian institute. The institute still
has all OF the original find and In view
of that fact the question arises where
did the one found at Fort Des Moines
come from?
The ore found at Fort Des Molnes
is in the, rough state or uncompleted
state. 1t is exactly like the pictures OF
the uncompleted ones shown in the
Smithsonian report of 1876 On the
side is the outlines of an image that
it was evidently intended to work out
in the completed object. The stone IS
a grayish granite. 1t was found at
considerable depth at Fort Des Moines.
Scientific publications will be Informed
of the find at Fort Des Moines. Out
side of those found at Porto Rico none
have ever been found any place else
except the one at Fort Des Moines.
