When the question was agitated
on the initiative of Colonel Roose-
welt, then president, of granting le-
gal authority for the use of the Sc
eret service for general government
tai detective purposes, considerable
opposition to this proposed course
was shown by senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress, who were
afraid that the secret service might
be turned into a government secret
police organization.
As a compromise 1t vas suggest
ed by Speaker Cannon that the Con-
gress should enact a law creating
a presidents staff" to be composed
of persons to be selected by the pres
ident, and who should have the rank
and title and wear the uniform of
commissioned officers of the army.
The purpose of this proposed legisla-
ton was to enable the president to
have with him constantly a force of
picked guards who would be able
to give him adequate protection
from annoyance or assault.
While the informant, who was so
situated officially as to be eognizant
of what occurred at the time, was
not clear as to the reason for the
failure of this proposal, his under
standing vas that President Roose-
welt objected to the idea because ii
might be construed as savoring too
much of the military. But subse-
~quently there was an increase In the
number of White House guards and

The following elements are necess-
sary to constitute a valid discovery
upon a lode mining claim. /. There
must be a vain or lode of quartz or
other rock in place. 2. The quartz
or other rock in place must carry
gold or some other valuable mineral
elements. when taken together, must
be such as to warrant a prudent man
in the expenditure of his time and
money in the effort to develop a val
liable mine.
NOTE.
The above two mining decisions
are of great Importance. The depart

vailed for thirty years.
Under the mining regulations, re-

be advertised in each issue of the
paper published during the required
period of publication except the first
day of issue.
If the designated newspaper be one
that is published weekly. the adver-
tisement must be in nine consecutive
issues of such paper to fulfill the re-
quirement; if in a daily paper, the
notice would be required to be ad-

paper, the notice would be required
to appear in each issue for sixty days.
An individual owning two or more

Final Proof.

The mere fact that final proof is
regular does not bar the land depart
ment from proceeding against an en-

law. The final proof is merely claim
ants assertion which is not conclu-
sive upon the government.
The land department has ample
authority to investigate into the
truth of final proof upon an entry
any time before patent issues.

Desert Lands.

The reclamation act of June 18th
1902, only permits homestead entries
to be made on the express under
standing that they will be reduced to
the area determined by the secretary
to be sufficient for the support of a
family.
Public irrigable lands in reclama-
ton projects are under the letter and
spirit of the reclamation laws to be
divided among as many families as
the land will properly and reason
ably support. The assignment act of
June 23rd, 1910, desc not modify this
requirement, but on the contrary, ex-
pressly imposed it upon assignments.
The reclamation required in desert
land entries c~ontemplates proof of a
water supply sufficient and perman-
ent as well as an irrigation system
adequate and substantial under us
ual conditions for the raising of or
binary agricultural crops.

right remedy.
We should know how soils lake
plant food from the air and water and
how they convey 1t to plants. We
should know how to tell what IL the
matter with our soils by the crops
growing on them. We should also
understand how to cultivate our coils

SAFELY LANDED IN

DEPUTY SHERIFF WILLIS WHITE
BROUGHT HIM FROM ATHENS
= TUESDAY NIGHT.
NO REQUIsITION NECESSARY
Does Not Deny That He Shot Wife,
But Claims to Have Been Shooting
at Man Who Was With Her at the
Time Of the Tragedy.

Clarence Polk, the negro charged
with the killing OF his wife at Carriers
Creek a few months ago. and who
was caught at Athens, Ala, Monday
afternoon, is now safely located in the
Maury county jail. Deputy Sheriff
Willis White went for Polk Tuesday
might, the defendant having agreed
ito come without requisition.
Polk went to the boarding car Of
the L. & N. Railroad at Athens and
asked for something to eat, and the
cook on the car recognized him, and
called him by name, telling the white
workmen that Polk was wanted here,
but they didn't heed the cooks ap-
peals to assist in Folks apprehension
Grabbing a gun he ordered Polk to
surrender bit instead he took to his
heels and load of small shot we're
fred at him, lodging in his arm and
shoulder After chase Of about a
mile Polk was overhauled and placed
in the city lookup.
There appears to be good lively
squabble in prospect for the $3.50 re-
ward offered by the governor several
men already laying claim to the cap
ture, in addition to the negro cook
who first raised the alarm when
Folks sense of hunger overcame his
prudence and he came out In the open.
He is not badly hurt by the shot in
his arm and body and will get over
the effects of the wounds it is thought
within a short time. Polk does not
deny having fred the shot that killed
his wife, so it is stated by the officers,
but says he was shooting at a negro
man who was with his wife at the
time. Polk and his wife had been
separated some time and her people
state that the day Of the tragedy he
had made several efforts to see her,
but on account Of her fear of him
she had persistently refused to see
him.
