WASHINGTON. Nov. s.-President Roose-
welt has given directions to the ,Intericr
Department and to the Department Of
Justice which imply that certain persons
guilty Of land frauds in the West may be
responsible for the assassination OF Secret
Service Agent Walker in Colorado. Chief
Wilkie Of the Secret Service has expressed
ths-opinion that the murder OF Walker was
deliberately planned. and it is the belief
here tnat the motive for the crime was not
entirely personal with the man or men who
committed the deed.
The murder has aroused the President
and he gave out this morning a copy OF the
following note, dated November S;
TO the AHOrpsy-Gsnsral and 10 the Seere-
hru ~ ire Interior:
Nv attention has been called TO the des-
patches 10 references to the murder Of Secret
Service Agent Walker while In the perform
ance Of his duty investigating certain coal
land frauds in Colorado trust every effort
will be exerted by your departments to prose-
cute vigorously every violation OF the land
laws which Walker was investigating.

"The Relation OF the Army TO the People

"a his theme the army as an essential factor

safety only in proportion to its military
strength

Col Dudley's plan is TO have the high
school boys trained in infantry tactics
and instructed in personal hygiene 30 that
they may be able 10 take care Of them

UNION PACIFIC IS MAKING TESTS
Situation Has Reached Alarming
stage when Thousands OF Tons
OF DilRpidRted Rails Are
Turned In.

1--WE are testing all these rails as they
break" said w. r. McKeen, superin-
tendent OF motive power and machinery
Of the Union Pacific. I'VE have them piled
up at the shops as high as a house and
are testing them, 'photographically' and
chemically and by weights and otherwise,
but are not half through with our tests
and have made no report on the tests as
yet"
When asked II the press dispatch in The
Bee, TINT 10000 tons OF steel rails had
been ordered by the Union Pacific to be
made by the open-hearth process, was not
an indication that he believed that process
was the best. Mr.. McKeen replied that 1t
probably showed that Mr.. Kruttschnitt
thought co.
1.-The manufacturers know what is the
matter with the rails" said Mr.. McKeen,
"and II is up to them to correct the fault
The general impression seems to prevail
that the steel companies are trying to
turn out the steel too fast, with not
enough regard to quality When Mr.. Har-
riman read the report to the directors Of
the Union Pacific at New York last week
that the Union and Southern Pacific had
40 broken rails in the month of February
and that nearly half OF these were the new
underground rails, which had been In use
but six months, the public was surprised.
More severe Test Now.
Four OF the recent wrecks on the Santa
Re have been ascribed to broken rails and
they were the new and heavy type. The
rails are put TO much more severe test
at present than in former years, for the
engines are larger and the loads are larger
and they are sent across the country faster
than ever. A person standing at the sta
ton and watching one OF the new moguls
Of the Union Pacific pass over the rails
can see the rails bend under the weight,
