OLD SOLDIERS NOT TOO OLD.
President Says They Must Not Be
Dismissed From Service.

Washington, April 13. - R. B.
Brown, commander-in-chief OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, Corporal
Tanner, past commander-in-chief, and
various officials of the local organiza-
ton, called on the president today in
reference to the alleged dismissal from
the government departments of many
veterans OF the Civil war, and of their
widows, for no other cause than odd
age.
Some time ago the president took up
this question at a cabinet meeting,
and gave instructions that discrimina-
tons against the veterans or their wild
ows should cease. During the call tc-
day of Commander Brown and his
friends, the president informed them
of the instructions he had given, and
assured them that the old soldiers
should be cared for.

No COMPROMISE Possible.

Washington, April 11.-"The next
Republican National convention will
nominate Theodore Roosevelt or else a
reactionary," declares one of the most
adroit politicians known in the national
capital. "There will be no compro-
mise candidate next year, no candidate
acceptable to Roosevelt.and yet accepta-
bic to the money power. Either the
people will rise in mass and force the
nomination on Roosevelt, thus over
whelmingly endorsing his course, or
else they will meekly bow down and
wear the yoke OF unscrupulous capital" !"

RANGE IN WENAHA FORESTS.
Division to be Made BetweenE Cattle
and Sheep.

Washington, April 10.-The recent
addition to the Wenaha national forests
in Oregon include some Of the best ear
ly stock range in the state, and there is
considerable anxiety among stockmen
in regardcto the range divisions which

been called at Walla Walla for the
purpose of hearing the claims of those
who have had this range, and an effort
will be made to divide it fairly and in
way which will best protect the in
terest of settlers and ranch owners liv-

to give the owners Of cattle and sheep
respectively the use Of that portion Of
the range best adapted to their stock

REDUCE HARTMAN POWERS.
Union Pacific Directors Believe He
Has Too Great Control.

New York, April l2.-Some of thu
directors of the Union Pacific railroad
favor material reduction of the extra
ordinary powers conferred upon its
president, Edward II. Hartman, which
make the company one-man affair.
At present the executive committee
has all the powers OF the directors
when the latter are not in session, and
Mr.. Hartman has all the powers OF
the executive committee when that
body is not in session. In other words,
Mr.. Hartman can do as he pleases, ex.
cept for the few minutes once week
or once month, when the committee
is in session.
He has a power of attorney and could
sell the millions upon millions of the
securities of other roads owned by the
Union Pacific at what price he pleased,
or he could hypothecate securities, bor-
row tens of millions upon them from
banks and engage in stock market OPP
erations on colossal scale.
In the hope of appeasing the Union
Pacific stockholders and eliminating
the public distrust in the securities of
the Hartman roads, it is proposed to
put some new blood in the executive
committee, reorganize the body and
adopt resolutions taking away from
Mr.. Hartman some of the powers
which have provoked SO much criti-
cism.

HERMANN FOUNDERS.
Testimony While on the Stand Makes
Poor Showing.

|
Washington, April 10.-Binger Her.
mann literally went to pieces yesterday
afternoon when subjected to cross ex-
animation by District Attorney Baker.
Where previously he had been calm and
suave, though sometimes evasive, he
frequently exhibited temper, when
pressed with embarrassing questions,
and repeatedly avoided giving direct
answers to questions put to him by the
prosecuting officer. When pinned
down he made several reluctant admis-
sions that reflected anything but credit
upon him. At other times, though
confronted with documentary evidence
showing what the district attorney
styled violations of the law upon his
part, Hermann repeatedly denied all
guilt and undertook to explain away
transactions which involved him in va
rious land deals. The most pitiable
feature Of Hermann's explanations was
that they did rot explain.
Altogether Hermann showed up in
an extremely bad light. Unless he i'm
proves when the bulk of the cross ex-
animation is conducted, it is evident
he will have done his cause more in
jury than good by going upon the
stand.
Hermann was asked if he had recon-
mended Mays appointment as district
attorney. He had no recollection of
taking such action. When the docu-
ment was produced showing joint re-
commendation of Mays, signed by
Mitchell, Dolph and Hermann, the
witness wildly recalled the cricum-
stances
