Possibility of Reply to Foraker Reso-
I,.tiop Becoming Public.

washington Feb. 6.-President Roosevelts request
that the reply Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
n the Foraker resolution calling for an itemized
statement of expenditures made from the war de-
fciencv fund Of 1889 be considered confidential
may be ignored by the Senate. Since the document
has been reposing in the files Of the Commute on
Military Affairs II has been examined by a number
Of Senators who say that they are not impressed
with the Importance of the concealing from the
public the information Il contains.
The reason given by President Roosevelt for the
request that the Information should be kept as ex
ecutive matter was that the war fund had been
used TO send military agents into foreign countries
TO gather material for the secret use Of this gov
eminent While It is said that this is true in re-
gard 10 some expenditures, certain Senators have
declared that the report hides the details con-
nected with such expenditures that the publication
Of tho report could not result in any diplomatic
estrangements with other governments.
L is declared by several Senators who have eX-
amined tn Treasury statement that the inforTaa-
ton sent in shows that the fund had been used
as "a financial junk heap" It is asserted that the
statement shows that sevefal ''junkets" were paid
for from this fund, and that !n certain instances
the fund was used to pay for the entertainment OF
military visitors from other countries.

SLIGHT SHOCK RECORDED.
Wedther Bureau Scientists Think Re-
cent Series about OUer.
TFrom ne Trihune Bureau.l

Washington. Feb. s.-After being quiet for sew
eral days, the seismograph at the weather bureau
early this morning recorded a slight earthquake
shock. The tremor was very faint, however, and
the officials at the bureau say that it is impossible
to make from it guess to the location OF
the distant shake Judging from the absence Of
tremors within the last week the scientists of
the opinion that the recent series Of shocks begin
ming with the AIessna disaster and continuing for
about month, has about come TO an end
Until we have more seismographs scattered
over the world and able TO watch the earth
tremors with more care, it VIII be welnigh inpos-
sible say whether seismic disturbances are on
the increase or decrease said Professor Willis P.
Moore chief OF the weather bureau I'VE have
eighty establishments belonging to the weather
bureau, and It is hope 20 ultimately have each
provided with seismograph. Our bureau is the
logical one 10 handle the instruments, because our
men there the spot watching the weather,
anyway, the installation Of sesmographs will
tail comparatively small expense. The foreign
governments have taken up the work in earnest,
and Germany and Great Britain are even somewhat
ahead Of US"
Professor Charles F Marvin chief of the in
strunent division Of the weather bureau. IS OF
the opinion that, in spite Of the apparent present
seismic activity, the world IS not shaking any
more than usual.
1T Just happens that the shocks and volcanic
disturbances are striking the centres OF
population said Professor Marvin. The more
people crowd the earth, the more frequent the
shakes will seem be. I do not believe
having any more earthquakes now than had
fifty q hundred years ago Means Of comBlunI-
cation have been 50 much improved. however that
We hear Of more OF them than we did generations
ago"

Quoting a series Of lectures earthquakes and
weather phenomena, and has invited several Off
Gals OF the United States Weather Bureau TO take

NAVAL ADVERTISEMENT Navy Department
has selected a design for the new large colored
poster to be used on dead walls in advertising for
recruits. Much discussion has been carried in
the Navy Department concerning the nature OF the
design to be adopted. Most of those who submitted
samples were inclined 10 make much OF the diver
sion which enlisted men could enjoy in period Of
enlistment and in the legends accompanying the
designs the prominent feature brought out was the
opportunity for foreign travel Secretary NewberrY
has decided that IL viii be digntfed and less
misleading If the picture relates entirely 10 the se-
activities of bluejackets instead Of the chance
that they viii engage in pastimes. For this reason
the department has adopted design made by
New Yorker who visited the Brooklyn navy yard
and obtained inspiration there. The design shows
in the foreground the bridge of a battleship.
which two bluejackets engaged in signalling
The rest of the picture shows battleshps Of the
New Hampshire class under way at The
picture is spirited one and will attract much at

CONCERT BAND
Reorganlzed and New Set Of Officers
Elected.

EIeCCe0s
Former members and some musicians
who might become members Of the Rocky
Ford Concert Band held a meeting on
Tuesday evening to discuss and perfect
plans for infusing some life into the brass
band that for more than two years has
dragged along its weary way.
An exhaustive discussion brought forth
the prevailing opinion that the only way
to prevent complete disruption and re-
vive the band was to reorganize with an
entire new set of officers. and this was
done. the following being chosen to con-
troll the destinies Of the Rocky Ford Con-
cert Band. as it will still be known:
Director-W. B. Mcmillan
Manager-G. X, johnson
Seeretary-Treasurer--Ed Kouns
Property MAN.. c. Grossarth.
The rsorganized band starts with a
membership Of about fifteen. who are de-
termined to hang together and make the
organization a credit instead Of mark
Of reproaeh to the town. And should
their aspirations hold good there Is sx-
csllsnt promise that the number Of mem-
bers will be doubled within very short
time. as there are many excellent musi-
clans in the city who will gladly give
their services to the organization under
an efficient leader.

lemonade were served, and Of course
they were in no condition to transact
business when the result of the election
was made known, so the considera ton of

Goblin was given into the tender care Of
the new board of directors. who were
called to meet in Elks hall this friday
evening, for the purpose Of organizing
and the election of officers.
