WARREN PROMISES
AID FOR DOUGLAS
Wyoming Senator the Man
Who Can Make or Break
the Post.
ABANDONMENT .RIDICULEp
FISHER HARRIS EXPLAINS STU
ALTON AT WASHINGTON.

The immediate future of Fort Douglas
lies with Senator f. E. Warren of wy
oming. chairman of the senate committee
or military affairs at Washington.
In his position of chairman of this COM
mittee Senator Warren wields a vast in
nuence with the secretary of war as TO
the disposition of money appropriated by
congress for the maintenance of the
army, including improvements of various
army posts.
Last March Senator Warren promised
Fisher Harris, manager of the CONNER
claI club, that Fort Douglas not only
would never be abandoned by the govern
ment, but that in due time il will re-
celve the attention its position demands
Public interest in the revelations of
conditions at Fort Douglas is increa sing
The officials of the Commercial club
yesterday wired Senators Sutherland and
Smoot and Congressman Howell at Wash
lnSton, relative TO reports OF the perspect-
i've abandonment of the post by the gov
eminent and asking for complete report
on the exact status of the affair Up TO
a late hour last night no reply had been
received from the senator's or Congress
man Howell.
The statements made by the officers of
the fort that conditions are becoming Sc
rious at the post has provoked a great
the city. Late last night Fisher-Harris,
manager of the Commercial club, in an
interview, said:
There is no possibility of the aban-
dcnment of Fort Douglas as an important
post of the army of the United States.
The present policy of the government
az Washington is 10 retain and improve
those army posts which. because of CEN
trail location and the existence of good
transportation facilities, will admit of the
quick mobilization of troops in time Of
need The only war cloud on the horizon
at this time lies in the Orient and the
war department cannot he obliviOus of
the fact that with the possible exception

Vancouver barracks at Portland. Ore.
Fort Douglas is obviously the best fitted
post in the United States for its pur-

Government Shows Faith.

In addition 10 these reasons. which
would seem to be final and conclusive,
the scenic. climatic and sanitary advan-
tageS of Fort Douglas render it one of
the most desirable of United States mill
tary posts. The government has shown
it's faith in the future of the post by
exchanging a part of the reservation Dor
dering on our corporate limits for the land
i'm Red Butte canyon owned by Mr.. lie
Grand Young. This exchange was not
made for fun-our war department is not
funny instituton-but in order that the
watershed supplying the post should be
controlled by the national authorities, so
that the place could be improved and
beautified.
I'm the latter part of March OF last
year. acting under the instructions of the
board of governors OF the Commercial
club, went from New York to Washing
ton and there went over the whole Fort
Douglas situation with our representa-
tives in congress and with Senator War
rem. chairman of the senate committee on
military affairs. Our repI sentative
were then keenly alive to the conditions
and were watching developments

Warren Promises improvements.


Senator Warren assured me that not
only would Douglas not be harmed. but
that in due time it would have the atten-
ton it's Importance demanded.
Last summer the Commercial club
called a meeting to devise means of hav-
ing Fort Douglas made either full regi-
ment or brigade post. That meeting was
attended by our senator's and representa-
tive in congress and they then and there
pledged their everlasting efforts to the
accomplishment of that purpose. Yet
while Fort Douglas will not be aban-
doned as suggested, il is quite possible II
will not receive any benefit from the APP
prOpriatiOn male by the present congress
for the maintenance of the army. 1T
should be remembered that congress does
not make specific appropriations for the
Improvement Of any post 1t appropriates
q Iump sum for the use of the army and
that sum is divided as the secretary OF
war indicates. The enlargement OF Fort
Douglas, therefore, rests with that cabi-
net officer and no effort is being or has
rcen spared to duly impress him with the
desirability of doing the proper thing as
we see it !"

SOCIALISTS EXECUTE BANDlTi
Man Who Demanded $500 from War
saw Bank Is Slain.

Warsaw, Russian Poland, Jan. 81
Socialists carried out the execution OF
q bandit who made an unsuccessful at
tempt to secure $500 from the Com.
mercial bank of Warsaw. The man
entered the bank and asked the d.
rector to give him $500, When his re-
quest was refused, he announced his
intention of remaining until he re-
ceived the money.
The bank officials feared to ask the
police for help and allowed him to
stay. A socialist member of the banks
staff, however, telephoned socialist
headquarters and explained the situa'
ton. Two men at once went to the
bank. They approached the man from
behind, threw sack over his head
and blew out his brains with a re-
volver. The police have not interfered
with the men who did the killing.

said to be unwilling to sign any bill
