TAFT IN WASHINGTON;
HAS LITTLE TO SAY
BY Associated Press.

iSy Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.-Secretary
Taft, accompanied by his son, Charles
Taft, arrived in Washington over the
Pennsylvania railroad at s:25 o'clock to-
night. At the station to meet the Sec
retary were a number of the officials Of
the war and other departments, who gave
him a hearty welcome
Secretary Taft. In reply, expressed his
great pleasure in reaching home again.
When he alighted from the train his
friends In official life and a number Of
newspaper men gathered around him and
an impromptu reception occurred.
Secretary Taft met the newspaper men
at his residence tonight, after which he
called, at 10 o'clock, at the White House
to discuss with the president his trip
abroad.
Mr.. Taft talked freely with the newspa-
per men concerning his long trip abroad.
He declined to be drawn into discus
sion of the political situation, saying that
he had been absent for so long a time
that he was not familiar with the trend
of events. He did announce, however,
that he had made an appointment to meet
Arthur Vorys his campaign manager.
early next week in Washington to talk
over the situation.
Secretary Taft said he expected to
remain in Washington all of next week,
| but he might go to Cincinnati to look
after the settlement of his mothers
| estate.
| On the subject of the Philippines the
secretary said 1t would not be advfs-
able to grant the Filipinos independ-
ence for at least generation yet.
"I have been very much encouraged,
said the secretary, "as to what we are
accomplishing in the way of training
the Filipinos. I think that today there
is more cooperation between the
American government and the Fill
pinos in working for the benefit of the
islands in the matter of education and
business prosperity than ever before.
There never has been a time when
conditions have been so quiet as at
present. I believe the general assem-
bly, has been instrumental in bringing
about that condition.
THE conditions in the islands with
respect to business are better than they
have been since I have known them,
but they are still not as good as might
be. owing to the spread of the cattle
disease which took away about rs per
cent of the CATTLE
In speaking of the Philippine gen.
eral assembly and its speaker, Mr.. AS
MANIA who is not quite thirty years
old, Secretary Taft said:

AUSTRALIAN GOES TO MAT IN
SIXTH ROUND
Colorado Fireman Disposes Of Bosher
Bill with a Right uppercut
to the Visitors
Jaw

Ry Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, Dec. eo.-Australian
Bill Squires was knocked out by Jim
Flynn tonight In the sixth round OF a
scheduled twenty-round battle by right
uppercut to the jaw after great heavy
weight contest.
1t was anyone's fight up TO the end.
In the fourth round Squires landed a
hard right to the ex-fireman's jaw,
which turned the tide of battle, and had
the Australian the speed to have followed
up the advantage the battle might have
ended there.
Squires' unprotected jaw, however. was
Flynn's mark and he landed there re-
peatedly, having the visitor groggy in
three of the six rounds.
The end came after squires had been
forced across the ring. He was coming
out of a clinch when Flynn caught him
with his right Referee Jack We.ch
says Squires fought his best fight while
on American soil tonight. The Aus
tralian has no plans and will remain
here for several days.
Flynn has challenged Al Kaufman.

dent before his order regarding the re-
moval of the troops was made
The members of the commission sent
here by President Roosevelt to invsstl-
gate the labor situation will leave for
Los Angeles and thence will proceed to
washington. A report from the commits
sion was sent TO the president this morn
ing and 1t was upon this presumably
that the president acted IN ordering the
troops away from Goldfield on December
80. A final effort will be made tomorrow
by the Mine Owners association and the
civic bodies of Goldfield to induce the
president to allow a portion of the troops
to remain.
Fifty strike breakers arrived on the
train from California at 11:45 a. m. They
were in charge of guards and detectives
of the Mine Owners association who had
gone from here to meet them at Millers
junction, and were taken at once to the
temporary boarding house established by
the mine owners at the Combination mine.
A large number of Western Federation
miners were gathered at the depot and
for a few minutes it seemed as If trouble
could not be averted, but beyond the
passing of some uncomplimentary re-
marks between the men there was no
attempt at violence. Attempts were
made by strikers to approach the strike
breakers to induce them to desert the
mine owners, but their efforts were frus-
trated by the guards who formed the
men in line and marched them to the
Combination grounds at once. A strong
line of guards now patrols the grounds
around the Combination buildings and
prevents pickets from talking with the
strike breakers.
The Combination mine and mill are
working today with more men under
ground than on any day since the strike
was declared.
The Mine Owners association refused
today to recognize the Western Fedora
ton of Miners as labor organization,
or to deal with the local miners union "
a body.
A reply to the letter asking for a con-
ference with Attorney o. n. Hilton was
received by Mr.. Hilton this morning,
saying that the executive committee of
the Mine Owners association would be
pleased to receive him as an individual,
but that the decision of the mine owners
