Cabinet Meeting,
PROGRAM is OPPOSED
Senate and House Seem to be Far
Apart-Senator Bacon Dies After
Brief lllness-Euloeies by
Colleagues.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-First steps
toward the formulation OF the admin
istration's policy to govern the deVel-

President Wilson and his cabinet to-
day.
Practically the entire time Of the
cabinet meeting was devoted to a dis
cussion of the principles OF conserva-
tion involved, and Secretary Garrison
and Secretary Lane we're unanimous
ly supported in their plans for meet
ing the problems.
The secretaries will confer with
members of congress soon and pre-
sent rough drafts Of legislation con
forming to their ideas. These bills
will be administration measures.
They have been drafted only tenta.
lively thus far, but the two cabinet
officers determined to begin immedi'
ately canyassing sentiment in con.
gress as well as among business con.
Germs generally to ascertain the feast
Oility Of their plans.
The chief idea thus far evolved con.
templates the making Of arrange
ments between the national govern
ment and private capital by which
the latter would construct and de
velop water power projects under &
federal permit given for a fixed pc
liod of years, after which the proiec'
would become the property Of the gov
eminent for such disposition as il
might be deemed expedient.

Castillo, the Mexican bandit, charged
with responsibility for the Cumbre
Tunnel disaster, in which ten Amer
leans and forty-one Others lost their
lives, was captured thirty.eight miles
south of Hachita, N. NJ, today by
American troops. This information
was conveyed to Gen. Hugh l.. Scott,
commandant at Fort Bliss, in an Off
Cial telegram from Captain White,
Ninth United States Cavalry.
With the bandit were six of his fol-
lowers. According to Captain Whites
brief dispatch, they surrendered with
out a fight. They will be brought
here.
Castillo, to avoid a range of noun
tains on the Mexican side, made a
detour which brought him into Amer
lean territory. Captain White was on
the watch, living received informa-
ton yesterday from Walter McCor-
mick, American manager Of Las Pa
Tomas Ranch, on the Mexican side,
that the much wanted man was in
the vicinity.
Captain White telegraphed by army
wireless to General Scott for instruc-
tons and vas ordered to arrest the
bandit should he put foot on American
soil. Whether the prisoner shall be
surrendered to the rebels is a legal
question that remains to be settled.
If this is done there is no doubt he
will be put to death for the Cumbre
disaster. He is not charged with any
crime on this side.

he did not like his new quarters he
would be allowed to return to thC
stockade.

MOTHER REMOVES
CHILD FROM HOME
Eight. Year-0ld Child Said to Have
Been Kidnapped.

Council Bluffs, April 21.-Con-
siderable excitement prevailed for a
time Sunday at the Creche, a home
for waits, when, it is alleged, Flor
ence Fitzgibbons was forcibly taken
from the institution by the child's
mother, Mrs. w. H. Beck of Missouri
Valley.
Mrs. Johnson, the matron, was
not at the Creche at the time. 1t
is said the child tried to escape and
was chased about the grounds before
being captured. According to the au-
thorities at the Creche the child was
brought there when two weeks old,
eight years ago; that she has been
educated and has grown so attached
to her home that she was terrified
when her mother recently appeared
there for her.
At that time, it is said, Mrs.
johnson refused to allow the mother
to take the frightened child. Fri
day, it is related, the mother ap-
peared at the school where Florence
attends and again attempted to Sc
cure the girl, who ran screaming in
to the building and was concealed
by the teachers who were ignorant
of the situation.
Little Hazel Abel, known at the
Creche as the twin" of Florence, is
reported in serious condition from
fright and shock. 1t is understood
that Mrs. Beck left on a train for
shattuck, Okla, with her daughter,
where the family now resides.
