GENERAL WOOD FAVORS
A BIG VOLUNIEER ARMY
UNITED STATES ARMY NOT PRE¬
PARED FOR WAR, SAYS THE
CHIEF OF STAFF.
TO RE-ESTABLISH CANTEEN
General Wood Paints a Gloomy Pic¬
ture of Shortcomings of U. S.
Army in Annual Report.
Washington.—Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, chief of staff, paints a rather
gloomy picture of the lack of prepar¬
edness of the army in case of war
in his annual report to the secretary
of war.
There are weak spots in many di¬
rections, he says, and most serious is
the shortage of field artillery and am¬
munition, a fault which should be im¬
mediately attended to. General Wood
declares that there is a great lack of
reserve seacoast ammunition, and that
at the present rate of appropriation
by congress, it will take more than
fifty years to obtain a reasonable sup¬
ply of ammunition for the coast de¬
fense and a still longer time to se¬
cure the necessary number of field
artillery guns and ammunition. If the
regular army and organized militia
at war strength were called to arms
now, says General Wood, there would
be a shortage of more than 50 per
cent, in the field artillery necessary
to equip them. As this force would
represent only a portion of the force
called to arms in case of war with a
first class power, the gravity of the
situation becomes apparent.
General Wood Btrongly urges the
passage by congress of the bill pend¬
ing for raising a volunteer army In
time of war. He says this will cost
nothing in time of peace, and will save
the government millions of dollars In
time of war. The present law is so
unsatisfactory and vague that the gen¬
eral staff cannot make preparations in
advance for its execution in event of
war.
Other needs of the military service
are set out in the report, including
the addition of 610 officers to replace
those detailed from line duties for
staff and militia work; the creation of
a reserve of not less than three hun¬
dred thousand men who have served
in the regular army or militia; the
concentration of the army in large
posts; the re-establishment of tue can¬
teen, and finally the increase of the
signal corps and the acquisition of
aeroplanes.
NEGRO MURDERER LYNCHED.
Swift Vengeance Dealt by a South
Carolina Mob.
Little Mountain, S. C.—With his
body riddled with bullets and a lan¬
tern hanging above Ills head, Flute
Clarke, a negro, lies dead on the side
of Little Mountain. He was lynched
for the murder and attempted assault
of Nannie May Shealey, the 14-year
old daughter of a well-to-do planter
of this section. The crime was com¬
mitted in the yard of the home of the
girl while she was alone, ller head
was almost severed with a knife, fol¬
lowing a fierce struggle with the ne¬
gro. The negro was employed by the
father of the girl and had worked on
the place for twelve year. There
were at least 1,000 men In the mob.
GRANGE RESOLUTIONS.
Radical Changes in the Payne-Aldrich
Tariff Law Suggested.
Atlantic City, N. J.—Resolutions
calling for drastic regulation of all
railroads of the country and giving
the interstate commerce commission
power to nullify freight and passen¬
ger rates proved to be extortionate,
were adopted by the National Grange.
Radical changes in the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill and physical valuation of
railroad trunk lines were also urged
by the farmers.
Federal aid for road improvement,
the parcels post, conservation of nat¬
ural resources, a national income tax,
direct election of United States sena
t° rs > agricultural extension and a
non-partisan tariff commission were
included in the report ol the lesolu
Won committee, which became the pro
gressive platform of the agriculturists,

~HENERAL D. PORFIRIO DIAZ, PRESIDENT OF MEXICO.
ANARCHY FOLLOWS REVOLT
MEXICO, AFTER CRUSHING THE
REVOLUTION, IS FACING
ANOTHER TASK.
Madero, the Revolution Leader, Has
Disappeared, Despite Efforts of
the Agents of Diaz.
Mexico City, Mexico.—With the Ma¬
dero revolution practically crushed out
the Mexican government found a task
of great magnitude on its hands—that
of crushing out the wave of Anarchy
which is following in the wake of the
rebellion. Bandits and desperadoes
have banded with criminals released
from jail and. according to latest re¬
ports, they are attacking and pillaging
small towns, driving off stock and do¬
ing great damage to railroad property.
Federal troops were sent to confiis
oate the Mexican property of Frances¬
co Madero, upon whose head $10,000
reward has been set by the Mexican
government.
Madero has disappeared despite the
efforts of soldiers, rurales and govern¬
ment secret agent to find him. A
great nation-wide search was started
for him under the stimulus of the re¬
ward.
Government agents continued their
activities throughout the states in the
danger zone, buying up all the arms
and ammunition they could find. They
have acquired thousands of guns and
millions of rounds of ammunition al
ready.
The jails are full to overflowing, and
secret trials will soon be ordered by
the government. Following the dras¬
tic policy of President Diaz, it is fully
expected that scores will be executed.
.Mexico City maintains the quiet that
has marked it through the entire up¬
rising. Americans are not molested
on the streets, and the newspapers
print subdued accounts of the con¬
flicts between troops and rebels.
New Orleans.—James M. Reid, who
was killed in Mexico City, was the
victim, of Sebastian Vardel, a police
man, who sought to avenge the burn¬
ing of Antonio Rodriguez in Texas
by taking the life of an American,
according to a Mexico City dispatch
Memphis, Tenn.—A private tele
gram from Mexico City states that
James M. Reid, a civil engineer of
Houston, Miss., was killed in a polit
leal riot Reid who had lived in
.Memphis three years, went to Mexico
with L. B. Loller, tour weeks ago.
Insurance Men Found Guilty.
' Newport News, Ya.—Twenty offi
cers and committeemen of the South
eastern Underwriters’ association
were found guilty of “maliciously ana
in wanton disregard of the rights ot
the public” increasing the rates of
fire insurance in the city of Newport
News and fined $400 each by a jury
drawn from Southampton county, in
Hon "was 0 ‘based entirely^ the°com
mon law against conspiracy,
having no statute to cover the
eeedings. The trial lasted a month.
$1,0CO for Three Eggs.
New York.—Three speckled eggs *f
the common red breasted snipe have
u>st been added to the collection of
V L. Childs of Floral Park, L. I.,
an expense of $1,000. Common as is
the bird on Long Island its mottled,
olive brown eggs are very hard to
get hold of. Tne snipe lays her eggs
in rock crannies way up in the arctic
circle, and Chilus’ $1,000 eggs were
gathered bv Eskimos in Fokelanen in
the extreme northern part of Iceland.
The eggs are know n to science ns
“trianga canatus."

publicans and One Socialist in

resentation in the next house will be

sas is the only state of size which
has a solid Republican delegation. A
number, however, contain only one
Democrat, among those thus included
being Iowa, Minnesota, California and
Wisconsin.

id Democratic delegations except Ma
ryland, Virginia, Kentucky and Ten¬
nessee' Maryland and Virginia each
hat e one Republican, while Tennessee

MONTGOMERY PAPER FINED.
Article About Trial of Blind Tigers

Montgomery, Ala.—Because of an
item published in the Montgomery Ad¬
vertiser dealing with the conviction
of seven prohibition violators, Judge
Armstead Brown of the city court im¬
posed a fine of $30 on The Advertiser

sentence had been inflicted upon each
of the defendants and suspended, and
that remaining violators were expect
etl to plea d guilty.
