WANTS LOW RATES FOR TROOPS
Senate Military Committee Proposes
Amendment TO Railroad Law,

The Military Affairs Committee of the
Senate evidently believes that it's poor
rule which works all ways. at least so
far as the rate law enacted by the last
session of Congress is concerned.
In the army appropriation bill, reported
10 the Senate yesterday. the committee
has incorporated an amendment providing
that the rate law shall not be held TO
prohibit the allowance of reduced rates
10 the government for the transportation
of persons or property, OF to prohibit the
transportation Of officers or enlisted men
IN the service of the United States. or
their families, at reduced rates"
This amendment was proposed and
adopted by the committee as a result of
the inability Of the government to secure
reduced rates for transportation of sol
diers and impedimenta
Another amendment to the army bill
which is of much interest to the service
is thar which provides for free heat and
free lights for officers and enlisted men
Ia authorized barracks This matter has
been subject of contention for some
time. Under existing law fixed allow
ance is made for fuel and lights. This
allowance is more than sufficient i'm posts
located in the South. OF elsewhere. where
the temperature is never undulv low. and
u is possible. in some instances. for Off
GERS 10 save a considerable part of the
sum thus paid them by the government.
But In posts farther north. and especially
IN Alaksa. the allowance is far too small
TO furnish adequate heat in quarters.
Heat and light win be furnished in GUAR
tiers IN authorized barracks. and the al
lOWance viii be cut off
The army bin. as reported. carries n
total of SSl,500U00. an increase of s.. 600 0o8

HITCHCOCK UPHELD.
President Approves His Action in
Indian Land Cases.

President Roosevelt upholds Secretary
Hitchcock's policy in dealing with the az
fairs of the Five Civilized Tribes in In
dian Territory
He has written to the Secretary APP
proving heartily the order Withdrawing
timber lands from allotment, which the
special Senate Investigating Committee
has denounced as clearly illegal OF il
the President writes
1T is only necessary for me to say that
l approve the action you took with the
object of preserving to the Indians and
the country at large rapidly disappearing
timber. ] feel that your department had
the right to make the withdrawal. and
that il would have been dereliction Of
duty Tor 1t not to have acted as it did
act"
In approving the SecretaTy's action in
protecting the coal. oil. and asphalt lands
the President writes
u feel that there is the gravest daDeer
i'm insisting that coal and asphalt lands
shall be sold outright TO the highest bid
der. I emphatically believe that the
department should not permit oil and gas
lands TO be alienated under conditions
which would, in effect mean the building
up of great monopoly of oil. and thus
reverse the policy of the Department of
Justice I do not believe that we can at
ford to aid in the acquisition of property
Of this kind by private parties. who as
experience has shown. may use the power
thus acquired over necessaries of con
sumption in a tyrannical manner"
The letter is part of d communion
ton made to the Senate yesterday by
the Secretary of the Interior. upon oues-
tons affecting the Five Civilized Tribes.
Mr.. Hepburn offered a resolution in the
Senate directing the Secretary Of the In
terror to issue land patents when all the

SENATE LAUGHS At DEPEW.
His Opposition to New Legislation
Acts rs n Boomerang.


Senator DeDew made the longest speech
in running debate hc has undertaken in
two years. when the question came up
in the Senate yesterday, during cousid-
GRAFTON of the Indian bill, whether an
amendment aIlotJing the lands of the
Jicariila Indians. i'm New Mexico, was in
order. The New York Senator opposed
the right of the Indian Committee 10
press the amendment because he re-
garded IL as general legislation which
was obnoxious to the rule In regard to
new legislation.
Several other Senators took the same
view. and in a long exposition Of the
practice and rulings. Vice President Fair
banks sustained the point OF order against
the paragraph
As soon as the decision was rendered
the clerk proceeded to read the next para
graph, which happened 10 come under the
heading New York" At the sound of
the clerks voice a broad smile spread
over the Senate. The item was one to
pay S12S.O00 TO the Seneca Indians living
in the Empire State. The point Of order
was quickly applied. and Mr.. Depew.
blushing ike girl of sixteen, Stammered
that the rule was just as good in one
place as another
Chairman Clapp chjvalroUsly asked that
the point of order be reserved and the
paragraph passed over for the time so
the Senator from New York might make
himself familiar with the facts.
The Senate devoted the day to the con-
sdcration of the Indian bill, and had not
completed il when adjournment was
taken As reported 10 the Senate by the
Committee on Indian Affairs, the measure
was loaded down with special claims.
Nearly every one of them went out on 4
point OF order. The paragraph relating
to the disposition of the mineral lands of
the Choctaw and Chickasdw Indians was
one of these.
An amendment was agreed to abolishing
the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribal courts
The Senate adjourned to to-day.

IF you will stop to think about it for a
 moment, you will

realize that the most rapidly growing sections of the United States are in the South and West.
 Where has the greatest money been made in the increase of value of steam railroad stocks and bonds2 -.-..
 In the South and West, of course.
 The same conditions apply with equal force to the carefully select ed securities of electric light, 9as and street railway companies located in the largest cities and most rapidly growing communi- ties of these sections.
 Having shown you last week the great increase in the market value of electric light, gas and traction companies in our New England cities in recent years, I want to say to you right now, that it's an absolute certainty that the Secur- ities of such companies, located in the South and West, which is growing faster than New England, will show an increase in value during the next five years greater than have the securities of our New England companies during the last five years.
 While you think of it write me today for my latest investment list of safe securities netting 6 per cent.
