ARREST AT FORT RENO
NEGRO CORPORAL WITH WOUND
 ON HIS WRIST.
MAY BE WANTED ASSAILANT
A Bloody Khaki Jacket, Bearing His initials, Found by Two
 Boys.

Fort Reno, Okla.-The finding of khaki jacket, one sleeve of which was covered with blood, and pune tured presumably by a bullet, has led to the arrest of Corporal Knowles, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, colored, on the charge of murderously assault ing Capt. Edgar B. Macklin on the night of Dec. 21.
 Has . Severe Wound.
 When arrested the negro officer was found to have severe flesh wound on the wrist, which he Is said to have been treating himself for over three weeks. The wound in the wrist is de- clared to have been inflicted by the same size bullet as went through the sleeve of. the jacket which bore Knowles initials.
 Found by Two Boys.
 The jacket which led to Knowles arrest was found near the fort on Sunday by two boys, in the direction taken by the bloodhounds that fol- lowed the trail of Macklin's assailant. Knowles refuses to talk, and Maj Pen rose, commanding officer at Fort Reno, refuses to give any informa- tion concerning the arrest.
 It Is stated upon good authority that Capt. Macklin is positive that the prisoner is the man who shot him.

FOR FOREST RESERVE
SECRETARY HITCHCOCK OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR WiTHDRAWS 400, ,o0o ACRES FROM AllOTTMENTS OF
 INDIANS.

Washington, Jan.-Secretary Hitch cock of the Department of the Interior. at his own request, appeared before the special Senate committee which had investigated the citizenship and property rights of the five civilized tribes of Indians. It had been an- nounced that the secretary's purpose was to explain what he believed to be his statutory authority for withdraw ing fourmillion acres of Indian lands from allotment in order to create the forest reservation asked for by Sec retary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture. MT. Hitchcock declined to state his authority to the com mittee, but said that his legal depart ment had prepared a report which would be made to Congress and that this report would justify the course he had taken.
 All the members of the special com mittee differed from MT. Hitchcock and finally he agreed to send the re- port to the committee, but he declin- ed to answer questions relating to the character of the report beyond declar- ing that he had found legal authority for his action in withdrawing the lands in the face of an act of Congress ordering that the lands be opened to allotment
 When the committee was called to order MT. Hitchcock again explained that he had not opened the land to allotment for the reason that he be- lieved 1t was in the interest of the h. dians themselves to temporarily and tentatively withdraw the lands. He said that as the legality and the pro- priety of his action had been ques- toned he had asked an opinion from Assistant Attorney General Campbell ard this would be ready He explained that he had not received the report Of Secretary Wilson or to the desira- bility of creating the forest reserve until the day before

WANTS 4 GERMAN TARIFF
PRESIDENT ANXIOUS TO HAVE
 DIFFERENCES SETTLED.
Special Message to Urge Reciprocity to Avert Commercial
 War.

Washington, D. C.-President Roose welt will send special message to Congress urging the prompt pas sage of legislation authorizing the negotiation of reciprocal tariff trea ties with Germany. Something must be done immediately to bring about settlement of the tariff differ. ences between the United States and Germany or there will be large fall. ing off in American trade with that country. A modus vivendi providing for the minimum tariff rates of Amer. fcan goods going into Germany is now in effect, but this expires March l, on which date the German government will enforce it's maximum tariff rates against American goods exported in Germany In order to reach a basis of settlement of the trouble the presi. dent sent commission of tariff ex. perts to Germany. at the head of which is Director of the Census North This commission is now at work and has nearly completed it's task.
 President Roosevelt has decided to direct the commission to hurry through its work and to cable him the recommendations so he can lay the matter before Congress at once.
 Unless there is some legislation at this session of Congress authorizing the president to enter into reciprocal trade treaties with Germany there is likely to be disastrous commercial Tyss Germany. Commercial interests throughout the country are deeply concerned over the question that they are urging the members of the senate and house to take effective action.
 Heavy exporting interests in the West are bringing strong pressure to bear upon their representatives in Congess to support any measure look ing to a relief of the commercial sit uation with Germany These inter- ests have been enabled'by the modus vivendi negotiated by Secretary Root and Ambassador Speck yon Sternburg to continue uninterrupted their busi- ness relations with Germany, but, as this arrangement will soon expire, they are now manifesting fresh con cern over a further and more perma- nent modification of certain tariff schedules as applied to imports from Germany It is known that the presi- dent and Secretary Root all along have favored the making of reciproc. ity treaties with Germany, and now that the subject will soon come up again in acute form they are under stood to be more anxious than ever to receive the necessary authorization from Congress to negotiate these treaties.

TEMPS ON iRELAND's SERMON.
Says the American Prelate Placed His
 Finger Upon National Weakness.

Paris.-The Temps, reproducing the full text of Archbishop Ire lands recent sermon concerning the French Catholics, considers that the American prelate placed his finger upon the national weakness when, "sparing neither republican. reaction ary. nor anti-clerical Catholics, he re- breaches all alike with their tradition al hereditary inability to comprehend the meaning of true liberty
 Liberty will not be established in France" continues the Temps, until the state and every citizens recognize that the question of going or of not going to mass concerns the conscience of the individual and not the govern ment.
