WILL COME TO HANCOCK TO
INSTRUCT NAVAL RESERVES
Officer Of the photographic Depart
ment on Tour Of the Great Lakes to
Arrange for Schools Of instruction
for the Naval MiIitia-WiIl Shortly
Visit in Hancock.

Lieutenant Commander Benjamin f.
Hutchinson OF the United States navy
department, ID. c., is in the city, regis
tered at the Spalding. says the Duluth
News-Tribune. Commander Hutchi-
son is connected with the chief hydro
graphic office. and is making a tour
of the great lakes In the interest OF
that department. He said last night:
"The mission OF the photographic
department Is to aid mariners and the
vessel interests in navigation. 1 want
to say, however that as pilots and in
the handling of the big ships through
the channels, the lake shippers have
all the other sailors beaten to a stand
still. ! am positive that there is not a
man in the navy department that could
safely bring one of the big lake ships
from Lake Erie to Duluth. They are
wonders in their line, but when 1t
comes to deep sea sailing and when
out of sight of land we are sure that
there are many things that we can
teach them.
To Confer With Officers.
NY Is 10 COnltT Wltn the
officers of the naval militia and with
vessel masters and owners, with a
view to holding several schools of in
struction at various points on the
lakes, especially where they do not
have branch photographic offices.
There is no question about the
work that the photographic department
is doing In the aid of navigation, and
not only the ship officers but the YES
sci owners are becoming more and
more interested in 1t. My work on the
lakes this winter will not in any way
interfere with the ports where branch
photographic offices are located. The
office here is one of the best on the
lakes. Captain Swensen, the expert in
charge, Is one of the very best men in
the service, and his work has long
attracted the attention of the head Of
flee at Washington.
He will leave here tomorrow morn
ing for Ashland, expecting also to
visit Hancock, Mich, Milwaukee and
Chicago en- route to Washington. He
will begin his schools of instruction
around the lakes in January.

TO CORRECT AN ABUSE.
La Toilette Proposes an Amendment
to the Census Bill.

Washington. April 9.-"The record of
the civil service commission and of the
several departments in Washington
disclose the assignment of a vast num-
Der of government employees to various
states in which as a matter of fact they
never resided said Senator LaFollette
today. He is chairman of the commit
tee on census which has reported an
amendment to the census bill requiring
applicants for positions within the gen.
eral classified service of the govern
ment to take their examinations in the
states to which they are accredited as
legal residents.
1T was to correct this abuse of the
civil service Jaw which requires an
apportionment of employees of the civil
service among the several states and
territories that this amendment was
adopted" said the senator Many
people come to Washington live here
for 25 or so years and their children
claim the former residence of the faith
err although they may never have been
in the state for the purposes of appor-
tionment. This is not in accordance
with the spirit of the civil service law
and either the section requiring appor
tionment should be repealed or the ap
portionment should be made on basis
of actual residence"

age had prevented any rally and
through the early morning hours his
death had been momentarily expected.
An Eventful Career
His passing marked the close of a
career whose preeminent feature was
an administration of the interior de-

problems as never before. Brought here
from st. Petersburg where he had
served as ambassador under an ap-
po1ntment of President Mckinley Mr.
Hitchcock was almost immediateI,,
plunged into a vortex of complications
growing out of vast frauds and charges
of fraud and counter charges growing
out of the requirement of public lands
IN the western states. Mr.. Hitchcock
directed the most sweeping nyestisa-
tions, arousing the enmity of powerful
political interests. That work is re-
called today as one of the most un-
swerving and relentless inquisitions in
the annals of government prosecutions
He prosecuted cases against numer-
GUS men in public life and private bust
ness including United States Senator
Mitchell of Oregon, who was convicted
and died not long afterward former
Congressman Binger Hermann. who
had served as commissioner of the
general land office and who was ac-
quilted; former United States Senator
Dietrich of Nebraska; Representative
Williamson, of Oregon, and John A.
Benson, a millionaire real estate broker
of San Francisco.

Says Refusal of johnson to Fight
Gives Him Title.

New York. April 9.-Stan1ey. Ketchel in

championship If Jack Johnson does not
agree to meet him within reasonable
time. This announcement is made by
Willus Britt KetcheFs manager. Says
Britt:
'Kitchel is the undisputed middle
weight champion of the world, while
Johnson holds the heavyweight title
merely through Jeffries' kindness in stay
ing retired. If. however, Jeffries ulti-
mately decides to box Johnson, will hold
my peace until the battle has been fought
and then go after the winner. In regard
to a match between Ketchel and Johnson
my money was posted and I bumped two
thousand miles to hold Johnson to an
agreement he made over the wire This
agreement he repudiated Immediately
upon my arrival in Chicago.
'T feel that the public Will support me
In my stand of claiming the title for
Ketchel because it Is traditional that all
true American sportsmen love a fighter
who is ready to fight at all times and
after I claim the title for Ketchel he
will be ready to meet all the heavy
weights. Ketchel demands recognition;
he is ready to fight; he is after the title

CENSUS BILL TAKEN UP.
Sugar Schedule Continues to Make
Trouble in Committee.

Washington. April 9.--ImmediateIy
after convening today the senate enter
ed upon consideration of the bill pro-
viding for the thirteenth census
SO complicated has become the sugar
schedule by reason of the conflicting
statements made by sugar importers
and representatives of American beet
sugar factories, that the subcommittee
of the committee on finance consisting
of Messrs. Burrows. Smoot and Flint
have determined to take steps to dis
cover just what was the agreement
reached last May at conference be-
tween Mr.. Taft. Charles B. Warren
president of the Michigan Sugar asso-
citation; Philip Mcmillan and Senator
Smith. of Michigan.
This conference was held at the
Boardman residence in this citv and ar
the conclusion, Mr.. Warren stated that
Mr.. Taft had made proposition in re-
gard to admission of Philippine sugar
which met the approval of the beet su-
gar interests in this country. 1t has
been supposed the Payne bill providing
for the free admission of 100000 gross
tons of Philippine sugar annually was
drafted in accordance with that agree
nient. but since the bill was taken up
by the senate committee vigorous pro-
test against the Philippine section has
been made by beet sugar interests
Their chief protest is not directed
against the introduction of 500 900 tons
annually free of duty, but upon the be-
lief that that quantity will be expand
ed and a smaller amount paid upon the
whole of the importations
Ask Warren TO Come On.
A telegram was sent to Mr. Warren
last night asking him to come to Wash
ington at once and inform the commit
tee just what he understood to have
been the agreement with Mr. Taft. A
reply has been received from him saw
ing he would arrive here sometime to-
night and a session of the subcomn1it
tee will be held Immediately upon his
reaching the capital. 1t is probable that
members of the subcommittee will go to
the White House and consult with the
president concerning the understanding
reached last May.
