WITHDRAWN REPORT OF SEcRE- TAFY DICKINSON IS MATCH

ROBSON IS CRITICISED
Western Congressmen Take Strong Stand and Hold Meeting in Which Lack of Adequate Protection
 on Pacific Is Discussed.

Washington, Dec. 19.-That the so- called suppressed" repore~ of Secre- tary of War Dickinson has caused the biggest kind of a sensation among the statesmen in this city seems to be acknowledged, though everyone has his own explanation, his own idea of what is happening and his individual opinion of what the effect of it all is to be.
 One rumor has it that President Taft is enraged at his secretary of war, and that the latter is seriously considering sending in his resigna- ton. Another rumor contradicts these -urmiseS flatly.
 Major General Wood, chief of staff, it is said, has been scolded by the president for his share in the matter.

General Wood is a Roosevelt protege.
 The excellent relations hitherto eX- isting between the White House and the war department are said to have been severely strained. President Taft Is unwilling to appear as an advocate for increased military appropriations in the present reign of economy.
 Coast to Press Advantage.
 The broadside fired by Representa- tive McLachlan of California against Tawney, chairman of the house com mittee on appropriations, shows plain ly that the Pacific coast intends to press the advantage gained in the con troversy.
 At a meeting of senators and repre- sentatiyes from tho far west it was determined to organize a campaign for strong coast defenses.
 Hobson Is Blamed.
 Representative Hobson is blamed by the administration for the whole trou- ble The fact that other representa- tives are even more radical than he on the question of larger military ap- propriations Is reported to be over- looked It Is hinted that he is the in- stigator of conspiracy, the object of which was a raid on the treasury for the army and navy at time when the government is seeking to save ey- cry possible dollar.
 Pacific coast representatives will bend every effort in the campaign to show that the nation needs adequate protection against a possible Japanese invasion.
 There is no question that the sem sational suppression of Secretary Dickinson's report regarding the na- tions unpreparedness for war will have exactly the opposite effect to the one intended It's contents are fairly we'll known to the country and its suppression has served to concen- trate interest on it.

MEXICAN ARMY DEFEATED
Reported That Victory Gives ReVolu- tionary Party Control of Chi huahua-Fight Is Distnc-
 tive for Fierceness.

Galveston, Tex, Dec. 19.-A de- federal troops at La Junta, in the state of Chihuahua, is the most se- we're blow yet suffered by the MeM- can government Semi-official dis patches received here over the MeXi- can cable say that at least 500 sol diers, under command of Generals Navarro and Hernandez, were killed.
 The rebel loss was also appalling, but the insurrectors had removed their dead before the hospital corps could record the fatalities. More than 100 were wounded in the government ranks.
 The situation in Chihuahua state has reached it's most serious stage since the first revolutionary outbreak a month ago The rebels are reported as holding a position practically con- trolling the city of Chihuahua and the western part of the state.
 1900 Rebels Face 200 Federals.
 Tn addition to reducing materially the federal ranks now available in the north of Mexico, the rebels cap tured three machine guns and the arms and ammunition of the dead troops. The surrender of 100 federal soldiers, who were liberated with the forfeiture of their arms, completed the rebel victory. Not more than 200 federal soldiers escaped before the crushing defeat, it is reported.
 The battle of La Junta. which was the fiercest of the recent disturbancc 5, although it lasted less than four hours, was distinctive because of the aggressive position of the armies. The rebel formation reunited small forces that had escaped after the battle of Cerre Prieto and Guerrero. About 15O0 rebels faced the united armies of Generals Navarro and Hernandez, numbering not more than 1900 The 1 fighting was on even ground, the reb- els having abandoned entrenchment in their maneuverings.

NOW UP TO THE DISTRICT
Congress Asked to Appropriate $25OOO FOR Work Ter
minal Company Originally Planned 20 Do-Prop-
erty Owners Will Pay Bill Eventually.

The result Is that the Terminal Com
pany is not only relieved OF the neces-
sity Of providing a sixty-fcot street. but
that it is now in position 10 sell hack
10 the Government the twenty feet Of
land
The property in question extends along
more than two blocks. 1t begins at G
street northeast. and runs TO and First
streets northeast Above G street lies
some GovernmeIrt-oS ned property and
it is provided ir the pending bin that
the Secretary Of the Treasury dedicate
a tWenty-foCt strip OF this for use in
widening First street. The remainder
of-the land belongs TO the Terminal
Company and must be purchased from
that company.

bill as drafted requires that assessments
for benefits shall equal the amount
awarded as damages, including the eX-
penses OF condemnation proceedings 80

Indications are that the Washington
Terminal Company has been relieved Of
the necessity OF building a siXty-fOot
boulevard along First street, near the
Unio nStatiou II was the original idea
that the Terminal Company construct
this street. but the Commissioners NOW
ask Congress to provide the money for
its improvement. They say $4,000 Will
be needed. but add that the District will
be reimbursed by assessments on prop
erty values adjoining.
When the plans were originally an
nounced. il was provided that the Ter
rninaI Company should construct the
ssxty-foot boulevard along First street
Land necessary TO carry out this plan
was purchased by the company and he'll
in readiness. In the meantime. however,
authority was given 10 reduce the width
of the street to forty feet This much
OF the street was accordingly built by
the Terminal Company, and is i'm use
now.
II comes to pass. however. that the
Commissioners want d siXty-fOOt street.
They have decided that the original plan
should be carried oUt. Therefore, they
have applied To the Senate ard House
for authority TO widen First street 10
sixty feet. In doing this they must buy
from the Terminal Company the remain
ing twenty feet Of land which it has on
hand and which il was at first intended
10 use for street purposes.

DISMISSED HAZ[RS
MUST PAY PENALTY
Secretary Dickinson Oppos-
ed to Reinstatement of
the Seven Cadets.

The dismissed West Point hazers need
expect but little consideration at the
hands Of Secretary OF War Dickinson.
The~Secretary has informed the House
Committee on Naval Affairs that he is
opposed TO the reinstatement OF the sew
en- cadets dismissed from the Academy
last spring for participation In the haz-
ms Of young Rodendo b. Sutton.
Mr. Dickinson also informs the com
mittee that his attitude represents that
Of the President and Of Superintendent
Scott, Of the Academy. The restoration
Of the hazers. he says, viii be con-
trary TO discipline, but he admits that
the old rules may have been rather
stringent
Although opposing any legislation
looking toward reinstatement OF the
cadets already dismissed Secretary
Dickinson told the committee that he is
IN favor OF varying degrees or punish
ment in the future. He believes that eX-
pUlsion is an unnecessarily severe pen
atty where the person hazed suffers no
violence at the hands Of the upper class
men. but is merely required TO brace
or perform some other dlverting act
for the benefit OF his temporary tor
mentors. Fol this kind OF hazing the
Secretary approves lesser degrees Of
punishment.

ton. who is a brother to Lieut.. James
