SWORD AND CUTS EVERYDAY
Congressman Reeder of Kansas
Today PourS Oil on Troubled
Waters of Debate.

Boise, Idaho Sept. 5.-The so-called
policy of the administration in setting
aside large areas in the west for for
est reserves was the subject which
precipitate an acrimonious and at
times a sensational debate at the last
night session of the Irrigation con-
gress. Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
bureau of forestry, stated that the pol
icy of President Roosevelt is to give
every part of the public lands their
very best use" These reserves to a
certain extent, control the stock bust-
ness of the west, he said, for the chief
summer range is in the reserves. Some
reserves are practically without trees
but it was the purpose to put trees
there Senator Hepburn made bit
ter attack on the administration for
estrv policy. The administration, he
said. had no business to have any pol
icy except as stated in the statutes.
Hepburn said he did not question the
presidents motives but believed that
he had been misled by bad and not
disinterested parties. Hepburn char
acterized Pinchot's theory of forests
preserving moisture as nonsense and
attacked the National Forestry asso-
citation. In one case, Vice-President
Weyerhauser, he said owned more
land than any other man in the world
more timber than was originally
stolen by any man in the world"
Congressman Reeder of Kansas, re-
ferring in his speech today to the con-
troversy last night over the question
CT forest reserves, endorsed the ad-
ministration of Chief Forester Pinchot

Mr.. Luna then offered the follow.

PRESIDENT WANTS WAR
ARTICLES CHANGED

Washington, D. c., Sept. At is
proposed by the president to have the
Articles of War amended. His atten-
tion has been called again to the
antiquated character of the articles,
which, save for some minor changes,
made from time to time, are prac-
tically the articles of more than
century ago. He is especially inter-
ested in changes of the articles which
refer to trial by court martial OF vol
unteers in time of war. The existing
articles provide that in such an event
the court must be composed of volun-
teer officers entirely. During the
employment of volunteer regiments in
Cuba and the Philippines some of the
offending volunteer officers and en-
listed men were tried by courts upon
which sat regular officers. The courts
decided that the findings and sen~
tences in such instances were illegal,
and those sentenced had the right to
claim redress. This has led to the
desire to have the condition changed
so as TO remove the restriction from
the courts sitting at the time when
volunteers are in service. It will
probably be impossible to do this,
since there Is an enduring sentiment
in congress against the trial of yolun-
teers by court composed, even TO a
limited extent, of regulars. There is
the fear that something will happen
to the volunteer, and there is no hope
that only slight modification Of the
existing situation will be effected. AS
for the rest of the articles of war, II
is proposed TO have them generally
overhauled and brought up to date.
The draft Of such a general amend
ment was made at the time the gem
eral staff was organized Col. Z. II.
Crowder, now the acting judge adyo'.
cate general of the army, was the au-
thor of the proposed amendments, but
II has been considered that the time
has not arrived for attempting the
change, which will require action By
congress. The presidents interest in
the subject will probably serve to
have the draft submitted 10 congress
in December. In the meantime the
judge advocate general and his assist
ants will carefully go over the articles
of war and draft the changes which
they consider necessary.

Interstate Conference Called
BY Governor CumminS of
Iowa Met At DeS MOineS.
SENATE HAS FIVE TIMES
DEFEATED WILL OF PEOPLE
Expressed Through Lower House
for Direct Election of Senators
BY Popular Vote.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept 5.-The in
terstate conference called by Gov
ernor Cummins of this state, for the
purpose of considering and discussing
the proposition of calling a national
constitutional convention with a view
of so changing the constitution Of the
United States that it shall provide
for the election of United States SEN
ators by popular vote, opened its ses-
sion here today. The attendance is
very large and most of the states and
territories are represented by dele
gates, who have been appointed by
their respective governors. Massa-
chusetts is one of the few states not
officially represented at the confer
ence, but the state is by no means
without unofficial representation. Gov
ernor Cummins, who is personally
taking great interest in the matter, is
presiding at the conference, which
promises to be of great political Inn
portance. Il may result in completely
overriding the senate of the United
States and in establishing a new
method of choosing senators In spite
OF the opposition of the United States
senate. The Constitution, Article 5.
provides that on the application of
the legislatures of two-thirds of the
several states, congress will call a
convention for proposing amendments
to the constitution, and these shall
become valid when they shall be rat
flied by the legislatures OF three
fourths of the several states or by
conventions in three fourths thereof,
as the one or the other mode of rati-
cation may be proposed by congress.
Thirty-two states legislatures have
at different times signified to con-
gress their desire that steps be taken
20 amend the constitution and provide
for the popular election of senator's.
But this is not strong enough; the
legislatures must apply to and prac-
tically demand of congress that a con-
stitutional convention be called and
then congress will have no option in
the matter, but will be forced to grant
the request. Nineteen states have
made this formal demand and only
twelve more are needed without Okla
homa, and thirteen with 1t. In five
different congresses the lower house
has voted for popular election. but in
every case the senate killed the pro-
posed legislation.

which nearly every member of the
committee took Part, and expressed
views, pro and con.
The substitute was voted on and the
roll call showed as follows: Fourteen
in the affirmative and thirtysix in the
negative, and the chair declared the

The Luna resolution was then put
to the convention and it was adopted.
Other Business Transacted.
Mr. Read offered a resolution, call
ing for the appointing of c committee
of five to confer with a like commit
tee appointed by the democratic terri
torial central committee, locking to
the promotion of joint statehood. The
resolution was carried by a vote Of
40 to s.
Mr. Luna made a motion that all
county conventions, for electing del
egates to the territorial convention,
should be held at least three days be-
fore the date Of the territorial con.
yentiOu.

Senior Class Falls Far Short
of All Expectations and
Won't Keep the
PERSONNEL OF MIDsH|PMEN
UP TO PRESENT NUMBER
Service In the Navy Seems to Be
At Discount Among Educated
Young Americans Generally.

Annapolis, Md, Sept. 5.-The next
fourth class at the Naval Academy
will be the smallest at that institu-
ton in many years, although Il Is
was expected by the authorities that
1t would be one of the largest. There
Is beginning to be an apprehension
that 1t will be difficult to fill the sue
cessive fourth classes year after year.
There will be not many more than two
hundred members when all of the sue
cessful candidates are sworn in, and
it was thought that there would be at
least one hundred more. The vacan-
cies left over for the next year will
be augmented by the places left by at
least four hundred members If all the
vacancies in the position of midship-
men are filed.
Under the new system the nomina-
ations will be made by senators and
representatives in time for examin-
alton in April and June of 1907, the
same to take place under the auspices
Of the Civil Service Commission in the
leading cities and towns, and the lat
ter at the Naval Academy. 1t is de-
sired to have the classes filed up, to
the end that there may be an increase
in the commissioned personnel. II
the situation does not improve next
year the authorities may consider it
worth while taking up the subject and
ascertaining for themselves why it is
that there is failure to get all the
places filed. Perhaps the secretary
of the navy win find 1t possible to, ex-
ercise his right to fill the places re-
naming untitled. although In this he
is obliged to make appointments from
the districts, to which the place is ac-
credited.

SEGAL AND OTHERS ARE
UNDER ARREST

Philadelphia, Sept 5.-Warrants
were issued today against Adolph Sc
gal, who borrowed more tnan S5,000,-
600 from the Real Estate Trust COM
pany on insufficient securities, Will
liam F. North, treasurer of the Real
Estate Trust company, and Marshall
S. Collingwood, assistant treasurer,
charging them with conspiracy, en-
bezzlement and false returns to the
state banking department. The ac-
cused men waived the formal service
of the warrants and gave bail. Segal

each.
The loss by failure of the company,
it is estimated, will exceed $4,000 900
before the receiver finishes his inves-
legations.
