WASHINGTON WAS ALSO
 AN EARLIER ROOSEVELT
In the Matter of Keeping the Country
 Prepared for War
Secretary Taft Outlets Any Alarm That Might be Felt On Account Ofa Seeming UsurpatiOn by the Chef Executive.

Buffalo. Feb. 22.-Secretary Taft was the guest of honor at the Ellcott clubs anniversary celebration of birthday. In his address the secretary had word to say as to the nations unpreparedness for war.
 Washington deemed the prepara- tion of the nation for war as of high importance" saitf Mir Taft; "our hu- initiation and experience with refer ence to our army in the war of 1872 and the immense losses We suffered in the civil war for lack of preparation show that in this respect at least we have not followed the advice Of our first president. We are, hawever, mak- ing the navy more and more respecta- ble eachIyear. I am very hopeful that congress will take steps which will make our army a proper nucleus for the rapid enlargement of a force for national defense commensurate with the population of the country and the extent of our jurisdiction.
 Washington pointed out the neces- sity for maintaining separation of the branches of federal government into which the constitution divided it. He warned the country against the danger of the LsurpatiOn of the powers of one branch by another. From time to time in political discussions we have heard of such usurpation. From time to time it has been assert ed against an executive that he is usurping the functions of the legislature. But as long as cor . gress retains the power of appropria- ton and the expenditure of money. the danger in this regard is negligible.
 The president is vested by the con stitution with the right to advise con gress in respect to legislation, and in the exercise of a limited veto power. he actually takes part in it. In view of his legitimate functions in securing legislation it IS far fetched to term his personal influence in securing the pas sage cf useful legislation a usurpation.

THE JAPANESE
 EXPOSITION
Hinges On Action of United States
The Natives Not Quite Sat isfied With Our Proposed Appropriation.

Tollio, Feb. 22.-Since the publication dents message bearing on the partici- patton by the United States in the in ternational exposition to be held in ToIio in 1912 there has been much speculation as the extent 10 which America would take part. The expo sition is strictly a government under taking. Bills have been introduced in the diet providing for the lifting of customs duties from all exhibits and also for protecting the patents and copyrights of exhibitors.
 In a general way the machinery or the exposition is moving and before the end of 1908 everything will be well under way. All the first, class powers have signified their intention of being represented at the> exposition. Alto gether some eight or nine governments have made announcemnt of inquiry as to the regulations but it is fully realized that much depends upon yyssal the United States may decide. In fact some first class powers have stated frankly that they would like to know what America proposes to do.
 NisCount Kaneko president of tho exposition has written a letter to Mir O'Brien, the American ambassador, in which he expresses qualification at the receipt of the news that there has been introduced a bill appropriating S250- 0G0 for an American exhibit. But he somewhat significantly goes on Io say that in view of the importance attach ed by the Japanese government to the traditional friendship between the United States and Japan. he desires the ambassador to use his influence towards inducing the American gov erament to make as generous aI ap- propriation as the occasion. in his opinion justifies.
 There is disappointment in business circles generally that no greater sum has been set aside for the American representation. Kaneko states that in his belief whatever sum the United States decides t0 appropriate will be a sort of standard for other nations.

MURDERER "P0INTED"
 BY INTELLIGENT DOG
An Indian Who Confessed That He Killed His Scuaw in Self Defense.

Tonopah. F,S. 22.-Frank Kawich an Indian. today confessed to the murder of his squaw. for which crime he has been confined in the county jail pending a hearing. The crime was traced by dog owned by Justice of the Peace Brissel. Kawich, who was drunk, beat the squaw over the head. breaking two or three whisky bottles on her skull Then. with a companion. he dragged the body from the gulch. where the murder took place. to a tent and set fire to the tent. but the fire went out. This hap pened last Wednesday just outside of Tonopah. The next morning Kawich came to Judge Brissel. who was act ing coroner. and wanted to make ar engagements for the funeral. stating that the squaw had been frozen to death.
 Judge Brissel has a dog. a half pointer With a straight tail. the an- imal sniffed the clothing of the Indian suspiciously and continued barking and pointed him until the attention of the judges wife was attracted. She detected blood on the Indians clothing and this led to an investigation with the result that he was arrested. Ka- wich today confessed to District Attor- ney McCarren that the old woman bothered him when she was drunk. and he had killed her in self defense. She pulled his hair. he said. and drag ged him to the ground. Then he grabbed a whisky bottle she had emp tied and swung it on her head. killing her.

JIM GROW ARRANGEMENT
 IN NATIONAL CAPITAL
It Failed After a Stirring Debate in Commemoration of Washngton's Birthday.

Washington. D. C.. Feb 22.-Wash- ingtons birthday in the house of rep resentatiVes was commcmorated by lively debate on the negro question. It arose out of an effort of Mir. Heflin of Alabama 10 amend the District Of Co., lumbia street railway trackage bill by requiring separate cars for whites and negroes. For over an hour and a half. the subject was fought over. whh the result that the amendment was over whelmingly defeated and the bill was passed.
 IL provides universal transfer on the basis of cash fares and six tickets for 9 cents. It provides for street railway facilities from all parts of Washington to the new union station.
 Previously in the day the house was greatly amused by Mir Campbell of Kansas relating his experience last Sunday in the new house office. build ing when a number of children skated down the corridor and entered the room and greatly annoyed him. His remarks grew out of an active debate on resolution to appoint a number of policemen in the building and MT.

assertion that since Washingtons day the powers of tbe national government under the cOfstitution have been greatly widened by construction in comparison with the powers oi the states, and that therefore. it may be said that the national government has usurped states powers. l can only en- ter d dissent from that view. The growth of the national power as com pared with the state power is due to the fact that in the development of the country and its business those func- tions which were always national now cover a much wider scope than they did in the beginning of the govern ment."
