TO keep what we have got; to con-
sol!date and develop; to quarrel as little
as possible with peoples and to uphold in

its whole strength in the common defense
of the home country He declared he would
assist the development of the local navies

in his power as the maintenance of su-
premacy on any sea meant the mainte-
nance of supremacy on all seas.

SCOTS BLUFF, Neb, June S.--(Spe-
cial Telegram THE unheralded appear
ance here of youthful emissary to the
North Platte valley from the office of the
secretary of the interior at Washington,
who announced himself an engineering in
spector of the big government irrigation
project, has started a commotion in the
community.
E. A. Keyes Is the name of the secre-
tary's special representative. The time he
spent in Scotts Bluff was mainly in con-
ference with II. G. Leavitt and his Tri-
state Land company, and this crcum-
stance recalls the prolonged conflict be-
tween the government project and the Tri-
State company which also has an irriga-
ton ditch partly completed and covering
part of the lands originally embraced in
the government project. The directors OF
the North Platte Valley Water Users as
societion, which is the association of set
tiers under the government project, num-
bering several hundred men, passed the
following resolutions
Whereas, It has come to the attention
Of the board of directors of the North
Platte Valley Water Users association,

present secretary Of the interior is to re-
strict the operations OF the reclama tion
service, notably in the suspension of the
so-called cooperative plan; and
Criticism of KeyeAy
Whereas, The North Platte valley and
the various commercial bodies therein have
received visits from one E. A. Keyes who
presents himself as a personal representa-.

Leaders Consult President
About the Tariff Bill

WASHINGTON, June s-senate and
house leaders who are directing the course
of the tariff bill through congress and who
will be members of the conference on the
bill after It has passed the senate took
measures today to ascertain whether there
was any foundation for reports that FRESH
dent Taft would veto the bill. They have
reached the conclusion that there is no
basis whatever for such reports.
Speaker Cannon Senator Aldrich and
Representative Payne individually have
been TO the White House several times in
the last few days. They say that II Presi-
dent Taft is dissatisfied with the course
the bill is taking in congress he concealed
his concern successfully.
AS late as this evening the president tolls
one Of the republican leaders that no one
had authority to suggest that he had IN
mind the veto of the tariff measure. Mr..
Aldrlch today talked with the president
for some time, When he returned TO the
capitol he told his colleagues that the
president did not appear TO be at all per
turbed about the tariff situation and that
he had expressed confidence in the ne n
bers OF the finance committee.
Capital has been made of the fact that
President Taft has been consulted fire.
qusntly about amendments being made TO
the tariff bill Senator Aldrieh explained
today that whenever a tariff bill is under
consideration il is usual for the head of
the administration and all members Of his
official family to weigh the bill in every
particular especially with regard TO il,

Mr.. Dunno declared that the decree was
fraudulent, as neither party was a legal
resident OF Illinois al the time and mis-
representations had been made TO Mrs.
Guggenheim TO get her 10 sue for the
divorce. The complainant also makes the
averment that Mr.. GuSgenheim and her
supposed attorney. Louis Werner OF New

the court She further states that she
was given alimony Of $4,000 Of which
her attorney obtained Sl25OO

Guggenheim in June, 1900 and that he fol-
lowed her about until she consented to
marry him. They were married quietly at
Hoboken. She says she was forced to keep
their marriage a secret as Guggenheim's ;
family were Jews and she was a Christian
and that he was afraid his. family would
not give its consent. They lived at the
Hotel Manhattan in New York until De-
cember 81, 1900, when Guggenheim told her
he had decided to leave her as his family
was still unalterably opposed to their mar
riage. The defendant then went to Eu-
rope.
After many efforts to get Guggenheim
TO return to her, the complainant said she
finally consented to sue for a divorce upon
the advice of Daniel Gugsenheim, one o,
the defendants brothers. II vas suggested
she so TO South Dakota for four moaths

the house committee on ways and means,
to give his personal attention to the bill
in every stage OF It's progress As a
matter of fact, the president is regarded
always as a member of the conference. Ii
is not unlikely that republican conferees
representing the house and senate will
meet from time to time at the White House
and go over the proposed law with Mr..
Taft.
1t was learned today upon the highest
authority that President Taft had not
read the Chicago speech of Secretary of
the Treasury MscVeagh before the secre-
tary left Washington for Chicago and the
president was not aware that the speech
was made. This does not mean that the
president finds fault with Mr. MacVeagh' :
utterances. but merely answers the report
that It was an official view OF the tariff
situation and that II expressed Mr.. Taft $
opinion. II is usual. It was stated today,
for a member OF the cabinet to submit
bis speeche TO the president. President
Taft has never required members OF his
cabinet to do this and therefore response
bility for their Ltterances cannot be
charged to him.
Republican leaders were inclined today
to assign to political inexperience secre-
tary MacVcas . failure TO consider that
any speech delivered by him likely would
be taken as the view Of the administration.
Many of the leaders point 10 the fact that
the speech was delivered TO an audience
which sympathized entirely with demands
for revision downward. but al the same
time they assert that a careful reading OF
the speech would Indicate that It had been
misconstrued in many quarters
