Questions.

lam Taft, before an audience which
filled the Auditorium to the doors, de-
livered an Grafton upon "The Army
and the Republic"
He spoke under the auspices of the
Union League club of this city, which
for years has made a feature of the
celebration of the birthday of Wash
ington In the morning the secretary
addressed 5000 school children, who
were gathered in the same hall in
which he delivered his afternoon
speech. For his address to the young
people he choose "The Philippines"
telling at considerable length of the
progress that Is being made to Amer
lean standards. At night he spoke for
the third time at the banquet held in
the Union League club house and this
time he discussed the Panama canal.
In opening his address in the after
noon which was the most important
speech of the three, Secretary Taft
declared that his work had so far been
of such an exclusive character that he
did not know about anything but the
Philippines, the Panama canal, the
army and the best method of organic
ing matrimonial excursion. The
Philippines, he said, he had already
discussed, the Panama canal he had
reserved for his speech at the banquet
and the only subject left for the after
noon was the army. The secretary
spoke at considerable length, discuss
ing the organization, needs and ac-
quirements of the army, urging strong
ly upon his hearers that they support
both the army and the navy in such
a manner that both could be main
tanned at a state of the highest pos
phasis upon the necessity of being
prepared for war as the surest guar
antee of peace. The words of George
Washington. in this connection, he
said, are even more true today than
when they were uttered, for the rea-
son that the country is now very much
closer in touch with the other nations
of the world than it was in the days
of Washington.
In his discussion of the Panama
canal at the Union League club at
night. Secretary Taft gave his hearers
a history of the affairs on the isthmus
OF Panama for the last four years. He
told of the many obstacles that have
been met with and have been over
come and of some of obstacles that are
still unsolved.

Mr.. ROOTS TALK
SOUTH AMERICAN REPRESENTA-
TIVEs INTERESTED.
MONROE DOCTRINE THE THEME
At the Brazilian Ambassadors Dinner
Secretary Of State Root Reahlrms
Devotion Of the United States to Its
Traditional Policy.

WASHINGTON - The diplomatic
representatives of the South American
republics in this city are discussing
with great interest the speech made by
Secretary Root at the dinner which
the Brazilian ambassador gave in his
honor and in honor of the countries
which will send delegates to the Pan.
American congress in Rio de Janelro
next summer. Mr.. Root talked chiefly
about the Monroe doctrine and said in
part:
When President Monroe, coming to
the aid of struggling Spanish-America,
made the audicious and gallant declar-
alton that no part of the American con-
tinents must be deemed subject to col
onization by any European power he
affirmed the proposition that all the
American republics are competent to
maintain throughout their territories
governments answering to the de-
mands of civilization, preserving or
der, enforcing law, doing justice and
performing all international obllga-
lions.
To that proposition all of us stand
committed It's truth we all maintain.
Every evidence in its support is a
source of satisfaction. Every forward
step In the path of progress by any
American republic is a cause OF Joy
to all OF us. Let me, then, Mr.. Ambas-
sador, pass along the toast which you
were good enough to propose to my
unworthy self. | ask you to drink to
the ssterhood of American republics
May every one of them grow in pros
perlty and strength; may the independ-
ence, the freedom OF the rights OF the
least and weakest, be ever represented
equally with the rights of the strong
est, and may we all do our share to-
ward the building up of sound and
enlightened public opinion Of the
Americans which shall everywhere,
upon both continents, promote the
reign of peace, order and of justice in
every American republic.

AS To RATE BILL
PRESIDENT WILL NOT OPPOSE ITS
AMENDMENT.
SENATE MUST SETTLE MATTERS
Committee Told to Arrange Their Diff
eulties-lf Measure Is Not Accept
able Then Executive Veto Can Be
Looked For.

WAS1INGTON-When the senate
committee on interstate commerce
meets on Friday to vote on a rate bill
the announcement will be made author
itatively that President Roosevelt will
not attempt to prevent amendment of
the Hepburn bill; that he will leave
the committee free to exercise it's best
Judgment and # possible compromise
its differences; that If bill is report
ed which does not meet his approval
and in that form is passed by congress
he will content himself to exercise his
veto power. This announcement will
be made as the result of a conference
here between the most active persons
supporting the house bill without
amendment, but will be delivered to
the committee by a senator who has
supported an amendment providing for
judicial review Of an order of the Inter-
state Commerce commission.
The conference at the White House
is one of the many that have been
held there in the last week for q dis
cussion of the railway rate question.
1t was ATTENDED by Senators Dolliver
and Clapp, Speaker Cannon, Represen-
tative Hepburn and Attorney General
Moody. Thew had under consideration
an amendment said to have been draft
ed by Senator Knox and revised by
the attorney general. The draft in it's
revised form, however, is said not to
be satisfactory to it's author. 1t was
offered in spirit of compromise and
the president and attorney general
wanted to know whether it would be
acceptable to the members of congress
who are making a fight to prevent the
adoption of any amendment which they
believe would interfere with the opera
ton of the measure they propose to
enact Into law.
Briefly stated, the amendment aims
to give to any complainant authority
to file a petition in a circuit court as
sertinG that a rate fixed by the COM
mission was in fact Illegal, or an order
of the commission was in reality unlaw-
full and authorizes the court to hear
the suit to decide whether the commits
sion acted within it's authority and
whether the constitutional rights Of
the plaintiff had been violated.
AS they had previously announced
they would do, all those called into
the conference made a firm stand for
the Hepburn bill in it's present form
and said that none of the amendments
suggested seemed to be an improve
ment. They said that if the bill speci-
fed the conditions under which COM
plants could be taken into court, the
court might refuse to take cognizance
of matters not specified in che bill.
They said they preferred to leave open
every feature on which an aggrieved
person might desire to go into court.
Attorney General Moody, it is said,
contended that the Hepburn bill is con-
stitutional and that there is no danger
of its being overturned by the United
States supreme court. He would not
pass upon the wisdom of amending the
bill, taking the position that that is
function outside of his official province

the Jury.

the Jury.
OMAHA-"We, the jury, find the de.
PENDANT not guilty" was the verdict in
the Pat Grove case returned to Judge
Sutton in the district court Friday af-
ternoon
The same curious crowd which had
attended the trial throughout was there
and when the verdict was read the
morbid spirit broke into lusty applause
and some of the men and women
pressed toward the man who had said
he and he alone kidnapped young Gu
daily in frenzied attempt to congrat-
ulate him, to shake his hand. But
Judge Sutton could not tolerate such
demonstrations. He vigorously raped
for order administering a stern rebuke
for applauding vedict so disgraceful.
AS If deadly pail had fallen upon
the assemblaoe the morbid manifes-
tations ceased and absolute quiet
reigned for minute. Then mutterings
OF approval could be heard from the
lips of another class of men grouped
over in an inconspicuous part of the
room.
Judge Sutton would not recognize
the customary formallty of thanking
the jury for it's service, having just
reprimanded the crowd for cheering it's
verdict nor would he allow the defend
ant to thank it, specifically fobidding
1t.

Of the federal courts. But much is
promised for at the May term, both
by the federal grand jury and the
courts. The land cases now on the
dockets are largely under Old indict-
ments and many of these possibly will
be dropped altogether because of the
disappearance of witnesses. However,
several important cases will come be-
fore the grand jury in the matter OF
the procurement or fraudulent filings
on lands.
