General Wickersham, in decision
today, holds that Richard Parr, q

recover from the government the am

given against the so'called sugar

PARIS information brought about
the recovery OF between 5000, 600 and
$4,000, 600. The question OF how much
money will be paid him is within the
discretion of the secretary of the

be allowed as much as SO per cent of
the amount recovered, but there is no

If necessary, the president indicated
two changes he would like to see made
in the bill in addition to the elimina
tion of the 60-day clause in the para
graph giving the interstate commerce
commission the right to investiga ate

Mr.. Taft is anxious that the house

railroad companies be accepted by the
senate. He regards this feature as
one Of the pledges OF the party, and
he does not agree with the position
OF many of the senators that such q
provision could be construed as inter.
fering with states rights.
The president believes the ten months
allowed the interstate commerce com.

before acting on them is entirely too
long. He thinks six months would be

IBy Morning journal Special Lsnsed wlraI
Washington, Dee. 15.--President
Taft today directed Secretary of War
Dickinson to withhold from congress
entirely his report on national defeAse
made in answer to a resolution adopt
ed by the mouse OF representatives.
The house yesterday declined 10 re-
ceive the report in confidence. Hence
il will not be sent at all.
The president directed Secretary
Dickinson to prepare a letter to the
house giving the reasons for with
holding the special report and invit-
ing attention to the regular annual
reports which contain all the infor-
nation that helped to make up the
reply to the McLachlan resolution.
The president agrees with some of
the congress leaders that the conclu-
sions and opinions of the special re-
port should be held in strict confi-
dence. AS the house cannot receive
reports in confidence, the president
decided it to be best TO withhold the
original report In its entirety.
President Taft would deprecate a
war scare or hasty action at this time
in any direction. In his message 80
congress he has called attention to
some of the needs of the army and
is hopeful that favorable action may
be taken. The president is anxious
that more officers be provided by
law ana that these officers co-operate
with the militia of the various states
and thus keep in reserve at all times
an effective fighting force.
President Taft has urged the pass
age Of bill now pending in congress
repeating the old volunteer act and
making provisions for the organiza-
tion of volunteer forces in time of
war. This bill was framed by Senator
Root when secretary of war, and was
passed by the house, but was defeat
ed in the senate by a threatened fillt-
buster led by Senator Bacon of
Georgia.
The president says that the passage
of the bill would not entail a dollars
expense upon +he government until
war actually comes. But when war
does come the methods Of organizing
the volunteer force SCI out in the
bill are In accordance with the best
modern military judgment. The pres
ident has laid great stress upon the
necessity of providing additional Off |
GERS to cooperate with the militia |
Of the states and in this connection !
points out that at best II requires six |
to train an infantry force. and I
from n year and a half to two years |
10 train cavalry and field artillery.

bullet into his brain.
When the members of the posse
reached his side they found $4,000
which Ward had stolen from the
bank. The bank officials say all Of
the stolen money was recovered.
Ward, who lived twelve miles
northeast of Luray, Kan, went to
Paradise last night. He told people
there he was riding across the state

casual notice.

ware store and bought a revolver, am
munition and coil of rope. He then
