HUME WEST REPORT
No Truth in the Dorothy
Arnold Story, He
Declares.

BALTIMORE, March S.-The rumor
that Hume II. West, the alleged swind-
Ter now confined in the city jail, who
made an effort to escape yesterday.
could probably tell some interesting
facts in connection with the disappear
ance of Dorothy Arnold, of New York,
was very much discredited by Warden
Hook at the Jail today.
An article appeared In a morning pa
per today in which II was stated that a
representative OF the paper in an inter-
view with West at the jail learned that
1t was West who sent a number of per-
sonals to a New York paper signed
Junior"
Warden Hook denied that the reporter
had an interview with the prisoner, and
said that while the newspaper man
asked to see West, the alleged swindler
refused to see him.

to muzzle the progressive magazines
and his answer, telling the governor
that he was all wrong.
These kilograms were exchanged short
ly before the adjournment OF Congress,
and they even now make interesting
reading. The kilograms are as follows:
wv. A. Calderhead: l am advised up
on excellent authority that the proposed
increase in second class postage is aim
ed directly at progressive magazines
and periodicals; that the rates proposed
are confscatory and will practically
ruin every popular periodical in the
country, and, therefore, deprive the
people of their only free press. A vast
majority of the people of Kansas are
opposed to the increase, and | most
earnestly urge you to vote against it.
"W. R. STUBBs."
Calderhead's Reply.
The reply of Mr.. Calderhead to the
governor was as follows:
Dear Governor: Your message is at
hand and, as usual, you are wrong.
The Congress Of the United States is not
the enemy of the people, and the free
dom OF the press is not in danger. l
wish you would get some correct infor-
nation.

President Taft Fears
Reciprocity Cause Lost
CONTINUED from First Page.)


says there is a scheme to hold back 8
report and delay action. Indication OF
this was given last evening when a
date as late as June ~ was fixed for
voting on direct election Of Senators,
and this matter was left the unfinished
business to that time. Senator Bailey
said the reciprocity bill would not get
to the floor much IL any before then.
Vote Will Be Late.
With a month or six weeks of debate
ahead, this makes it look like The middle
OF July, and perhaps August before a
vote can be had on reciprocity in the
Senate.
In the meantime, the adversaries of
reciprocity are bent IN using every
weapon they can possibly employ
against the agreement. That the high
protected interests of the country are
making a remarkable organized fight
against the agreement is clear. They
are cleverly getting the farmers of the
country, at least the Grange officers, to
make the fight for them. while they are
keeping in the background more or less
under cover.
The word has gone around that Presi-
dent Taft was never more IN earnest in
his life than he Is about this agreement
He has used the Big Stick at times since
March 4, 1909, to further his favorfte
measures. Bit the signs are that he
will use II with greater vehemence than
ever in seeking to muster votes for reci-
procity.

ARMY WILL RE MAIN
ALONG BORDER ALL
DURING THE SUMNER
Will Continue Valuable War
Lessons Without Add
ed Expense.

1t is now the plan OF the Administra-
tion, it was learned at the White House
today, to keep the American army in
Texas all summer, regardless Of what
the final issue in the Mexican revolu-
ton may be.
The reasons now assigned for this
plan is that the troops are already in
Texas. They are undergoing valua BILE
war maneuvers. They are getting
training of the most desirable sort for
actual war operations. All this is now
possible without any additional expense
to the Government
1t costs no more to maintain the army
division in the field, after 1t once gets
there, than it costs to maintain that
number of fighting men at army posts.
That is why the Government now pro-
poses to keep the troops now in Texas
and along the Mexican border in camp
until next fall.
1t is even said by army experts that
the actual cost of field operations is
less than the cost of maintenance in
the barracks, Whether or not this is
true the decision has been reached by
the Administration to make the best
use Of the troops while they are yet
mobiltzed and give them as much work
in active field operations as possible.
All told, there are about 1900 men
in Texas and' along the Mexican border.
This does not include the command un-
der General Bliss is California. It does
include the soldiers at Ell Paso, Douglas,
and other border points. however.

In the events which have shaken

brought to feel that il is patriotic to
resign from the high office that the
almost unanimous vote of Mexicans
conferred on him in the last election,
and that II is advisable at the same

that the Vice President do likewise,
so that new men and new energies

program Of seconding General Diaz's
policy, join my resignation with
his, and in the present note retire
from the Office Of Vice President of

I do not know of any fact imput-
