STATESMAN FROM PENNSYLvAN-
IA CALLED BY TAFT TO BE
SECRETARY OF STATE.
ACCEPTS THE OFFICE
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE BY PRESI-
DENT.ElECT AT AUGUSTA,
GEORGIA.

Augusta, Ga. President.elect
Taft Friday announced the ap-
pointment of United States Sen
ator Philander c. Knox of Penn
sylvania, as secretary of state in
his cabinet. The announcement fol-
lowed the receipt by Mr.. Taft of a tel
egram conveying the information from
Mr.. Knox that he would accept the pre-
miership of the Taft Cabinet Mr.. Taft
without delay announced that the mat
ter was settled He said the offer
was made to Mr.. Knox the previous
Sunday in New York and that since
the offer he had not heard from Mr..
Knox until Fridays telegram.
Senator Knox's first appearance as
a public figure was when he entered
the cabinet OF William Mckinley as
attorney general in 1901. He was con
tinued in the office by President Roose-
welt and served until he resigned In
1904 to accept the appointment OF SEN
ator from Pennsylvania.
Senator Knox. while attorney gen
eral. established high record for his
relentless prosecution of so-called
trusts. One of his important victories
was the suit against the Northern Sc
curities Company. organized to take
over the capital stock of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern railroads.
The government won its case in the
United States court.
Under the old order of things the
defendants could have appealed and
postponed final hearing indefinitely.
Mr.. Knox prepared for such contin-
gency and secured the passage
through Congress of an act allowing
but sixty days in which to take an ap'
peal to the United States Supreme
Court. and also providing that In cases
of this character the hearing should
be expedited and decision speedily
reached.
Mr.. Knox also wagcd notable fight
against the so-called beef trust" He
filed an action against seven of tho
beef corporations in 1902. charging the
defendants with being in conspiracy
in restraint Of trade.
Judge Grosscup of Chicago issued an
injunction against tho defendants AMI
the injunction was later made perma-
nent. In an appeal taken TO the United
States Supreme Court. the government
was sustained and the unlawful com
bination dissolved. Soon Gfterward Mr..
Knox won suits against fourteen rail-
road corporations charging them with
combination In restraint OF trade.

elected for n full term. which would

Denver Colorado has been n great

game country and in the future will
be one of the greatest game countries
in the United States, according TO the
reports, predictions and recommends
tions made by d. L. Farr. state game
and fish commissioner. in his biennial
report submitted to Governor Buch-
tel. Contrary to the general be.
lief. elk. mountain sheep and other
species Of wild game are not almost
extinct in the state and in Ruutt coun-
ty alone the state game warden is
certain there are several herds of elk,
ranging from 15O to 200 in the herd,
while mountain sheep still exist to
the number Of several thousand in the
wilder parts of the mountains. Five
thousand antelope are reported in the
state.
The report first discloses that the
rtate game and fish commission has
become self.supporting institution,
and that all manner Of game has in
creased under protection. Market hunt.
ing and game slaughter has been
wiped out. There have been ia
persons convicted Of violating the

In his report. Warden Farr takes
up the several species OF game and re.
ports extensively on each. Best of
all news to the hunters is that pleas

birds are increasing at a rapid rate
and m open season is predicted with

value TO the farmer An appropriation
of $4,000 is asked to provide care

numbers.
Another appropriation is asked to

months ago, and it required all the re-
straining and constraining force that
Governor Frear could bring to bear at
that time to prevent a number of resig-
nations by some of the most effective
officers in the regiment.
Colonel johnson has always been a
rallying influence in the regiment, and
largely through his energy, effort and
influence the friction has been kept
down to minimum, and very hearty
work for building up the regiment has
been done.
Among the company officers who felt
constrained to resign when it became
known that Colonel johnson would
have to leave the regiment because of
the new engagements as to employment
he had entered into, were Captains
Costa, German, Angus and Neely.
Colonel johnson has been urging them
to remain for the sake of the regiment,
and it is likely that he has succeeded.
1t will be a very hard thing to fill
Sam johnson s place in the regiment.
Few men have the organizing quality
that he has, combined with the ability
esprit du corps. The conditions which
have brought about the situation that
has existed for some time and which
Colonel Johnson's influence bridged
over will make it the harder for new
man to step in and keep the regiment
up to its present efficiency. At this
time. when it is the desire of the War
Department to build up the National
Guard here, it will require hard work
on the part of Governor Frear to meet
the exigencies that have been thrust
upon him in the matter of the First
Regiment.

1t seems quite certain that Professor
Gilmore is the coming president of the
faculty of the college of Hawaii The
matter is quite cleared up by a para
graph in recent letter from Governor
Frear to Acting Governor Mott Smith
in which he says that Messrs. Gartley
and Hosmer had met Professor Gil
more and that they approved of his
appointment. This practically settles
the matter as the Board of Regents
acting under the recommendation of
President Schurman of Cornell Uni
versity had rendered the office of pres
ident to Professor Gilmore through
the gentlemen above mentioned who
accompanied Governor Frear on his
visit to Washington.
Another important item from Gov
ernor Frear's letter was to the effect
that the unexpended balance of the
Federal appropriation would not have
to be turned back to the Federal
Treasury. This will place the financial
resources of the college in very sat-
isfactory condition as it has been I'm
possible to expend any very large per-
centage of the amount received last
April. The Board of Regents, how
ever, are taking advantage of the large
amount on hand to purchase a very
complete library which win include all
of the standard works on the approved
subjects. Between ten and twelve
thousand dollars will be expended in
this way and the subjects covered are
as follows:
Schedule Al, Agriculture; 2, Horti-
culture; 8. Forestry: 4. Agronomy; 5,
Animal husbandry; s. Dafrying; Z.

AFTER JOHNSON
THE DELUGE IN
THE REGIMENT
Resignation of COL Sam Will Be Followed by
Others Unless His Influence Can Restrain
1.-The Adutant General.

The departure of Colonel Samuel
johnson for the Island of Hawaii is
likely to have profound effect on the
First Regiment of the National Guard.
When Johnson, then a captain, be-
came first, lieutenant colonel and then
colonel, the National Guard consisted
of four companies, practically skeleton
companies, barely able to muster enough
men to keep from being mustered out.
Now the regiment has nine companies,
all well filed, and the men turning cut
well TO drills.
With the departure of Colonel John
son for Hawaii, he feels it necessary to
resign as Colonel, and his resignation
will undoubtedly be rendered to Acting
Governor Mott-Smith this morning.
There was, up to a few hours ago,
every likelihood that Colonel johnson s
resignation would be followed almost i'm
mediately by the designations of at least
four captains of companies. If these
designations do not follow, it will be
because Colonel johnson has used his
personal influence to, prevent, and has
by appeals to the esprit du corps of the
National Guard induced them to re-
main.
The trouble is one of old standing,
and widely known. Though it has never
been publicly stated, it is known
throughout the regiment and very gen
orally among the public. There has
been constant friction between AdJu-
tant-General Jones and the field and
line officers of the regiment. This
friction reached an acute stage some

The Board of Supervisors met last
night. Nothing important came up for
discussion with the exception of the
resignation of Road Supervisor Sam
Johnson who goes to Hawaii to accept
a position as outside manager of the
Hawaiian Mahogany Company.
The resignation was accepted and
many kind words were expressed in
appreciation of the good work of Col
onel johnson and the pleasant rela-
tions which have existed between him
and the board.

Supervisors Dwight, Harvey. Cox,
Archer, Fern; Clerks Kalauokalani,
