BRANDED AS A FAKE.
Alleged Confession of Discharged Me-
gro Soldier.

gro Soldier.
Washington, March 19.-Chairman
Warren of the senate committee on
military affairs, which is investigating
the Brownsville affair, has received
from Secretary Taft copy of a dis
patch from Major Blocksom at San
Antonio, Tex, as follows:
"Chief of police of Galveston has
just wired me confession of Gray, sup
posed discharged soldier, appearing in
papers, Is fake"
The dispatch relates to an alleged
confession printed in Galveston
newspaper and sent broadcast through
the country. Senator Foraker, who is
taking the lead in defense of the negro
soldiers, said that he would order the
subpoena of the editor of the Calves
ton News in order to secure state
ment from him concerning the story.
The statement of Senator Foraker
that he would subpoena the editor of
the Galveston News was made before
he had seen the dispatch from Major
Blocksom. After the dispatch had
had been shown to him Senator For
aker said it probably would not be
necessary to call the editor of the
Galveston paper in view Of the adnis-
sion that the story of Gray's confess
sion is fake.

PRESIDENT WILL CONSIDER sUG.
GEsTIoN TO HOLD CONFER.
ENcE OF GOVERNORS.
MINNESOTA EXECUTIVE TAKES LEAD
NATIONAL MEETING TO DISCUSS
RAILROADS LIKELY TO FOL-
LOW HIS PROPOSAL.

washington, March 19-The pro-
posal Of Governor Johnson of Mime
sofa that conference of the COVER.
nOrs, railroad commissioners and at
torney generals of all the states be
called to consider uniformity in the
exercise of power in the regulation of
railroads will be carefully considered
by President Roosevelt, if formally
submitted to him. Until careful con
sideration has been given, however,
the president is not likely to express
his opinion of the plan.
The administration just now is en-.
gagged up to it's neck perfecting the
plan for further federal control and
there are many things to be taken into
account in connection with the pos
sible benefits that would accrue from
conference of state authorities. In
the case of conference over the insur.
ance regulation the matter was some
what different, because insurance is
not interstate commerce.
Uniformity in state laws regulating
railroads is desirable, but there is a
growing sentiment in Washington
that the remedy to apply with re-
spect to the railroads is to centralize
regulations in the hands of the federal
government. The conference might re-
suit In better understanding, and
again it might arouse a hot debate
over states rights that would embar.
rass the bigger plan of perfecting the
national laws.

WATERWAYS COMMISSION.
President Appoints Board to lnvestl
gate Rivers.

Washington, March complying
with petitions presented by numerous
commercial organizations of the Mis-
sissippi valley President Roosevelt
has decided to appoint an inland wa
terways commission whose duty 1t
will be to prepare and report COM
prehensive plan for the improvement
and control of the river systems of the
United States. Eight public men have
been asked to serve on the commits
sion and Representative Theodore E.
Burton of Ohio, chairman of the rivers
and harbors committee in the last
congress, is to be chairman Of the
committee
In a letter which he addressed to
each of these persons the president
sets out that he is Influenced in Great
ing the commission by broad consid-
erations Of national policy; that the
railroads are no longer able to move
crops and manufactures rapidly
enough to secure the prompt transac-
ton of the business of the nation and
that there appears to be but one COM
plete remedy-the development of a
supplementary system of transporta-
ton by water.
The following gentlemen have been
asked to serve on the commission:
Hon. Theodore E. Burton, chairman;
Senator Francis G. Newlands, Senator
William Warner, Hon. John H. Bank

Death was the kindest Of John
Alexander Dowie's many
enemies, His human foes
stripped him, before all the
world, of the power and glory
that we're dearer than life, and
lett him, a helpless lettering old
man, prisoner in the city he
founded. But death came on
tiptoe to the fallen leaders, sick
room and gave him the one balm
that could assuage his agony, for.
getfulness. And this Was the
passing of Elijah Ill. Dr.. Dowie
was man of remarkable per
sonal magnetism and force.
Nature enriched him far beyond
the average man and her gifts he
used to upbuild one OF the most
remarkable personal religions Of
modern tines. He throve upon
oppos tioa and Waxed mighty on
the tithes of the credulcus, but
he lived too long. He drained
toe eagerly his cup Of honor and
the dregs EN- FILTERED the last
days of his life. In death there
will be few Of his once mighty
host to do him honor, but, merci-
fully, he has passed beyond the
power of his foes to wound him
further. The great enemy that
he dehed has conquered. Let
the poor old man rest in peace.

STILL RISING SLOWLY.

Ohio River at Cincinnati Apparently
Nearing High Point.
Cincinnati, March 19-The Ohio
river continued to rise during the
night, but the rate of rise grew less
as the hours passed. At a. m. it
passed 61.5 and only two-tenths of a
foot had been added to that five hours
later. Relief work was continued by
the city and local charitable organiza-
lions, so that those made destitute
by the high waters were promptly
cared for. Business felt the flood
chiefly through the transportation end,
the railroads being badly crippled in
all directions, but suffering most in
Cincinnati terminals, which were I'M.
der water or so surrounded by the
flood as to be of little service.
