PAY ARMY MORE
is PLEA OF TAFT
SMALL SALARIES TO BLAME FOR
SHORTAGE IN RANKS, HE
SAYS.
MAKE SOLDIERY LIFE WORK.
Secretary Favors Relieving Men of
Drudgery and Offering Rewards
for Proficiency and Service.
WAR CHIEF IN ANNUAL REPORT.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. g.
Secretary Taft is strong advocate of
increased pay for the army and his an
nual report, just sent to Congress, com
pletely dispels any doubt that may exist
as to the secretary's position. The re-
port begins with formidable present
ment of figures showing the rapid de-
crease in the strength of the regular
army i'll recent years Ghe loss last year
being no less than 442S mem and the
pressing need for officers to replace
those now detailed on recruiting duty or
rs military instructors in educational in
situations. The secretary declares that
while many reasons have been advanced
is to be found in the inadequacy of army
pay.
More Pay for Privates.
II think it quite probable" he says,
that an increase in the pay of the en-
listed men, including considerable addi-
tional lnducement for men to re-enlist
and such reasonable increase in the pay
of noncommissioned officers as would
stimulate men to remain in the service
and to qualify themselves for these
higher positions, would have a markedly
beneficial effect upon the recruitment OF
the army"
SO the secretary earnestly favors the
adoption for the army of the naval sys-
TEN, under which the President is au-
thorized to fix the rates of pay within de-
fined limits, as a means of obtaining
better discipline and higher efficiency.
Relieve Men of Drudgery.
He also recommends the creation of a
general service corps to relieve the sol
diers of the vast amount of unmilitary
work they are now called upon to per-
form. In his opinion, the military serv
ice should be so attractive and desirable
that it will not be difficult to get and
hold the class of men needed for the en-
listed personnel, and to make army serv-
ice a life work, as it used to be, by Of
fering rewards for proficiency and great
er increase of pay for length of service.
The regular army last year lost 139
officers and 2G.31O enlisted men, and, al
though it was a year of peace, IA of the
officers and 3JS of the men were killed
in action or died Of wounds and disease.

Of Prosecuting Attorney Nanduyn of
Canon county.
No statement as to the future pro-
eedure in that case has been made. but
t will be called during the next term of
court at Caldwell, when it will probably
Dc finally disposed of.
Simpkins, Il member of the executive
board of the Western Federation of
Miners, who is charged with completely
in the crime, is fugitive from justice
and the charge against him will stand.
When the Meyer case was called by
Judge Wood. James II. Hawley. repre-
senting Prosecuting Attorney Nanduyn,
signified the desire of the state to have
IN order of dismissal entered.
Il am satisfied" said Judge Wood,
that the course taken by the district at
.orney and decided upon by attorneys for
The state, is the proper course to be
taken in the matter.
Il have watched the evidence carefully
so far IS the connecting and corroborating
evidence under the statute was CON
cerned in its application to this de-
PENDANT. and there has certainly nothing
developed in the two cases that would
Justify the court in submitting the case
against him to a jury unless there was
considerable additional connecting testi-
mony to that which has been shown in
The two cases that have been tried, and
for that rea son the case will be dismissed
