President Wants More Appointed to
West POint-Not Enough Officers.
Less than 80 per cent of the whole
number of officers in the United
States army are graduates of the West
Point military academy, and each
graduating class is about eighty short
of the number necessary to officer the
army.
The President and the Secretary of
War plan to urge Congress to increase
by 125 the number of cadets to be
sent to the academy and to have them
appointed every three years, instead
of every four years, as at present. The
present strength of the corps of ca
diets at West Point was established
many years ago, when the army con-
sisted of only $4,000 men. In 1901
the army was increased to its present
strength of $4,000 men and 4,500 Off
GERS. About the same time Congress
authorized a project for enlarging the
plant at the military academy and has
appropriated altogether about s6,500,-
900 for the construction of new build
ings and the enlargement of existing
ones. Col. Scott says that by next
spring the improvements will have
been advanced sufficiently to accommo-
date $50 cadets

LOVE LEADS To PENITENTIARY.
Woman, Convicted of Stepdaughter's
Murder, Accuses Husband.

On behalf of Mrs. Rae Krauss, of
Hartford City, Ind, now serving life
sentence in the woman's prison for the
murder of her stepdaughter, Crystal
Krauss, Attorney j. A. Hindmann has
filed cross complaint in the divorce
proceedings brought by William r.
Krauss. In the complaint Mrs. Krauss
says her husband murdered his own
daughter and they agreed that she
should be punished for it because the
court would be more lenient with a
woman and because Krauss, who is
wealthy and prominent, could use his
influence to get pardon for his wife
The complaint alleges that she was
'cajoled, threatened and coerced' by
her husband into signing<a confession
which she wrote, and that he has not
lived up to his part of the agreement
made at that time, namely, to get a
pardon for her. She said that she as
sumed the role of murderess out of her
love for her husband
The death of Crystal Krauss was
one of the greatest mysteries in In
diana. The girl was IS years old and
was popular. Her stepmother seemed
fond of her and the two were insep-
arabic. Her death was caused by
strychnine poisoning, the most dam
aging evidence being given by milk
mans boy who said Mrs. Krauss sent
him to drug store to get ten cents
worth of strychnine. The next morn
ing Crystal Krauss was dead.

CRANE IS FORCED TO
RESIGN UNDER FIRE
Minister to China Notified by Secse-
tary Knox That His Resigna-
ton Is Wanted.
CAUSED TROUBLE BY TALKING
Chicago Man Held Indiscreet and
and Usefulness in Diplomatic
Service Ruined by Action.

Secretary of State Knox on Tuesday
sent a letter to Charts R. Crane, of
Chicago, who was in Washington, noti-
flying him that his resignation as
minister of the United States to China
would be accepted. Mr.. Crane already
had advised the Secretary that he was
prepared to resign if the recent deyel-
opments had made his further service
in that position embarrassing to the
department. Mr. Knox has advised
President Taft of his action. Mr..
Cranes resignation will be addressed,
not to the State Department, but to
the President, who appointed him.
Cause of Cranes Dismissal.
While the deepest secrecy guarded
the nature of the complaint against
Mr. Crane, it was well understood that
he was accused Of revealing confiden-
tial information and talking altogether
too much about the intimate affairs of
the State Department.
Appointed by President Taft after
Stuyvesant Fish and other well-known
men had declined the China post, Mr..
Crane had received final instructions
and engaged state rooms on steamer
sailing from San Francisco last
Wednesday. Just before sailing he re-
ceived telegram ordering him to re-
port to Secretary Knox in Washing
ton.
Mr.. Crane arrived in Washington
Sunday During the trip east he de-
clared that his public statements
with the sanction of President Taft
Immediately on arriving in Washing
ton he was closeted with Secretary
Knox an hour, and learned the secret
of his recall, which he declined to di-
vulge. President Taft received a long
telegram Monday from Secretary
Knox On his decision further action
in Mr. Cranes case was understood to
depend
Through unofficial sources the State
Department allowed it to be known
that one cause of complaint against
Mr.. Crane was an article of a Chicago
newspaper of Sept. 81, evidencing a
somewhat minute acquaintance with
affairs supposed to be known only by
officials in the State Department and
presumably by Mr.. Crane, relative to
the attitude of the United States gov
eminent toward the two treaties re-
Gently concluded between China and
Japan. That publication was highly
Objectionable to the Department of
of State in that it disclosed the posi-
bility of protest on the part of the
United States against the consumma-
ton of these treaties. Secretary Knox
and his associates in the department
held Minister Crane responsible for
those disclosures.

THE Sacramento valley contains

1t is my desire sc far as the laws
will permit to enforce the saving and
the right use of the public domain"
So said Secretary Ballinger at ban
quet in Sacramento, Cal, Thursday
night, following his visit to the Or
lando irrigation project Absorbing
certain lands and sequestering them
does not accomplish the most desirable
results, but when it is put to practical
use all the people will be the real
beneficiaries. The work should go for
ward, and that is what the administra-
ton will do to the best of it's ability
in following the policy of Mr.. Roose-
welt of trying to do everything pos
sible to assist the western country
And when we find that our work is
INSTRUCTED by the laws we will ask for
further authority"
