American Lake Favored Site
for Future Large
Army Post.
WILL RETAIN VANCOUVER
Board of War Department Decides
on Site for Brigade Post Will
Abolish .-mall Posts, but
Retain Fort Boise.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 11. "The time Is coming;
when we will have to have a large army
post on the North Pacific Coast," said
Secretary Taft, in discussing the stall
idea of centraliiing troops at a few big
stations. "We havehad a board examin
ing sites In Washington and Oregon,"
continued the Secretary, "and that board
has reached the conclusion that the
American Lake camp site near Tacoma is
the best location in that entire north
western country for a permanent brigade
post.
"Of course," he added, "we will not es
tablish an Army post at American Lake
In the immediate future: it is something
we will have to carefully consider for a
long time, but It is a part of a general
scheme that is being evolved, and in due
time there will probably be a brigade post
located at American Lake. It will be
years before that post is established, for
there are other posts to be built up first,
and then we will have to look to Congress
for the money necessary to buy a large
tract of land. The American Lake site
can be had on very reasonable terms.
Will Abandon Small Posts.
The General Staff of the Army long ago
conceived the idea of abandoning a num
ber of the smaller Army posts and con
centrating the troops at a few well-selected
stations. Many of the small posts
were established in the days when the
Indians were on the warpath and the
people all along the frontier needed the
protection of Federal troops. The Indians
are now peaceful; there is no longer dan
ger of Indian outbreaks; hence the neces
sity for many of the old-time posts no
longer exists. Quite a number have al
ready been abandoned; others are to go
in the future. Just what posts will ulti
mately be abandoned has not been Anally
determined, nor Is it positively known
what posts will be enlarged. Not all of
the smaller posts will be abolished; some
will remain, particularly those in sections
far removed from the brigade posts in
contemplation, especially if they be in
a section where troops are likely to be
needed on short notice, as, for instance, in
mining regions where labor troubles are
likely to arise which cannot be handled
by the state authorities.
But with these exceptions the small
posts will have to go, as the brigade
posts are built up. The location of a
brigade post at American Lake will prob
ably result in the abandonment of Fort
Walla Walla, which is purely a relic of
old Indian days, and there Is a possibility,
If not probability, that Fort Wright, near
Spokane, may also be dispensed with.
Vancouver Will Remain Intact.
Vancouver Barracks, however, is to re
main. It Is today the largest post on the
North Pacific Coast; its location is desir
able from many points of view, situated,
as it Is, close to the markets of Portland
and convenient to the railroads which
penetrate all parts of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. Troops at Vancouver can
leave on short notice for any portion of
these three states, and moreover can em
bark as readily on transports that come
to the docks of Portland, In case there Is
urgent need for troops in Alaska or in the
Orient. Because of these advantages, Mr.
Taft says that Vancouver Barracks will
remain, even after the brigade post is
established at American Lake, and he fur
thermore states that the size of the gar
rison will not be diminished.
It Is also probable that the small posts
that guard the entrance to the Columbia
River and Puget Sound will all remain
under the reorganization. The idea of
centralization does not contemplate the
abandonment of our coast defenses. They
are separate and distinct from the Army
posts scattered over the interior and were
established for a fixed purpose. They will
form an important part of every military
programme, for they are absolutely neces
sary for the protection of the large cities
along the seacoast.
Will Retain Boise Barracks.
Boise Barracks is one of the few small
posts that will probably be retained un
der the reorganization. It is the only
garrison in Idaho and serves a section of
country not readily reached from the
forts In Washington or Utah. From many
points of view a post in Idaho is demand
ednot a brigade post, but a post that
will accompany a full battalion of cav
alry. Boise does not come in the class
of posts that have no present-day useful
ness, notwithstanding it was established
during the times when the Indians in war
paint roamed Southern Idaho. The past
has shown the necessity for maintaining
troops in Idaho, and the importance of
the post at Boise will increase as the
railroad facilities are Improved.
The completion of the road penetrating
North Idaho, going Into the heart of the
mining district, will do as much as any
thing else to increase the demand for a
battalion post at Boise, and the extension
of the Milwaukee road and the construc
tion of a road to San Francisco will add
still further to the necessity. Boise may
not be made a battalion post at this time,
but It will be maintained at Its present
size until the staff decides to provide for
three additional troops of cavalry. Some
officers favor the immediate upbuilding of
Boise Barracks; others believe Boise
should wait until the larger posts have
been completed. This question is now
before the President and Secretary of
War for determination.
PRESIDENT'S FIRST REST.
Has Respite From Visitors and Does
Business by Mall.
OYSTER BAY. N. Y.. July 11. Presi
dent Roosevelt is enjoying his first real
vacation since his occupancy of the
White House. In the week and a half
he has administered affairs from Saga
more Hill, he has had only two visitors.
Sir Joseph Ward and Secretary Taft, and
these visits were brief.
In conducting affairs of state by cor
respondence entirely, the President is re
quired to devote from three to five hours
dally to his mail. Secretary Loeb went
to Sagamore Hill , at 9 o'clock today and
did not return until 1:30. In this time the
President signed more than 150 commis
sions, thereby inducting into office many
officials in the diplomatic and Consular
service and a number of Postmasters.
Negotiating Dominican Bond Issue.
WASHINGTON, July 11. The Do
minican Commissioners In New York
are making fair progress in the nego
tiations for the readjustment of debts
of Santo Domingo. It is stated that
thero is little doubt that a bond issue
of J2O.00O.OOO will cover all legitimate
claims, and it is thought here that
such a loan can readily be floated in
this country if the Senate should act
favorably on the Dominican treaty.
Root Sails From San Juan for Rio.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, July- 11. The
United States cruiser Charleston, with
Secretary Root and party on board,

Janeiro.
CLAIM SHARE OF FEES
BUTLER'S FORMER PARTNERS
BLOCK OOIiVILLE GRAFT.
Enjoin Payment Until Interests Are
Adjudicated and ex-Senator
Must Walt.
WASHINGTON, July 11. An injunction
was issued today by Justice WTright, of
the District of Columbia Supreme Court
restraining United States Treasurer
Treat from paying to ex-United States
Senator Marlon C. Butler, of South Caro
lina. J75.O0O, a portion of the fee allowed
for prosecuting suits against the United
States and obtaining judgments in favor
of the Cherokee Nation.
Shelley & Martin, attorneys, sought
the injunction to prevent payment of the
fees until their interest in them should
be recognized. This firm made the orig
inal contract with the Indians and at
that time ex-Senator Butler was a mem
ber of It. Under the court order issued
today Mr. Treat is allowed to pay to Rob
ert L. Owen, the Indian lawyer who suc
cessfully argued the case in the Supreme
Court of the United States, fees amount
ing to 5300,000. A demurrer to the bill
of complaint was filed on behalf of the
Treasurer and the hearing will go over
until Fall.
Imports From Paris Growing.
PARIS. July 11. Consul-General
Mason has completed the records for
the fiscal year. He says the total ex
ports from Paris to the United States
were $52,037,685, showing an increase
of 27 per cent and breaking the. record.
RIGGS ENDED HIS LIFE
Arrested for Murder of Milliner at
St. Paul.
ELROY, Wis., July 12. Conductor N.
M. Riggs. who was arrested here yester
day in connection with the murder of Mil
He Ellison, at Minneapolis, shot himself
early today, dying instantly.
Rlggs when arrested, asked to be taken
to his wife and daughter, who are visit
ing in the country. He returned last
night and talked with many friends, be
ing apparently cheerful, but somewhat
pale. Shortly after midnight Rlggs asked
permission to go to his room in . the ho
tel. With the officer outside, and with
out locking the door Riggs shot himself
through the temple.
When searched just after his arrest
Riggs had no weapon. Officers from Min
neapolis were on their way here at the
time of the suicide.
ROBBED, BEATEN AND BURNED
Horrible Fate of Milliner in Hotel.
Lover Is Suspected.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 11. Robbery
is believed to be the motive for the
brutal murder of Miss Millie Ellison,
of Ellsworth, Wis., who was attacked
while in her room in a local hotel yes
terday. The woman is known to have
had more than $2000 on her person,
having cashed a draft for that amount
at one of the banks during the day.
When she appeared at the bank to
cash the order, which was drawn on
an institution in her home town, she
was accompanied by a man who closely
answers the description of the suspect
now under arrest at Elroy, Wis. His
name is N. M. Riggs, a resident of
Minneapolis, and an employe of the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway as
an engineer. He met Miss Ellison
some ten years ago.
A brother of the dead woman, who
is now here, says his sister sold out
her millinery business in Ellsworth
with the intention of investing the
money in a farm in Washington, which
Rlggs Is said to have claimed he had
picked out. It was the understanding
of the girl's family that she was on
her wedding trip and that she would
settle down in her home on the farm.
"She took all her money and negoti
able papers with her at the time she
left home. The amount is variously
estimated, but I am positive she had
at least $3000, and it may have been as
much as $6000." said the brother.
Riggs will be brought to Minneap
olis tomorrow.

Massachusetts Health Board Makes
Some Discoveries Contain Much

BOSTON. Julv 11. The State Board of
Health today made public the results of
its investigation of canned meats. The
Board examined nearly 150 different kinds
of canned meats from every possible
source, as well as the canned-meat es
tablishments.
In a general way the results of the in
vestigation are favorable to the manu
facturers, both in the East and in the
West, but it was found that many of the
preparations contained a large amount of
foreign matter. Of one brand of potted
ham prepared by an Eastern firm, the re
port states:
This was found to consist of a small
amount of normal muscle, considerable
epidermis In large pieces, numerous blood

DSS MOINES, July 11. (Special.) Governor Albert Baird Cummins and
his rival for Gubernatorial honors, George Douglas Perkins, have been for
years notable figures In Iowa politics. Governor Cummins Is now finishing his
second term. He was born in Carmichaels, Pa., in 1850, and after receiving an
academic education and being admitted to the bar, began practice in this
city. He has been a member of the Republican National Committee, and first
was elected Governor In 1901. He stands for tariff revision. Mr. PerklnB, on
the other hand, is a. "standpatter." He has been editor of the Sioux City
Journal since 1869, served four terms in Congress, and previously had been
Marshal of the northern district, and also had been a member of the State Sen
ate. Mr. Perkins was born in New York State in 1840, and learned the print
ers' trade at Baraboo. Wis. When tho Civil War broke out he enlisted In the
Thirty-first Iowa and served until 1863. The battle will culminate In the
state convention August 1.
vessels ana nerves and the sallvatory
gland, ground into paste. Quality poor,
the material being largely scrap."
Of another Western potted ham the re
port says:
"Abundant muscle fiber, considerable
epidermis, much granular debris, some fat
and cornmeal. Quality fair, but inas
much as there appears to be no excuse for
the presence of corn meal, it must be
regarded as adulterated."
A number of other products, the Board
of Health states, contain cornmeal.
Several brands of prepared meat were
found to contain either boric acid or bo
rax as a preservative. One Western
"chicken loaf" is thus described:
"Very little muscular fiber, much con
nective tissue and corn. It is preserved
with either boric acid or borax."
The report says regarding conditions in
this state: "The large establishments
were found to be conducted in all partic
ulars in a Scrupulously clean manner. Of
25 smaller establishment, only five were
found to be entitled to grade excellent-"
The Investigation went far enough to
show that the local authorities may well
give careful attention to the slaughter
houses within their several jurisdictions.
SHALL THEY BOYCOTT CHICAGO
English Grocers Consider Measures
to Enforce Reforms.
SHEFFIELD, England, July 11. The
question of contracts with American
packers' was again brought up today In
the annual conference of the Grocers'
Federation, which is in session here, when
the resolution pledging the members not
to stock with American canned meats un
til the packers have initiated necessary
reforms, was withdrawn from the small
committee to which it was referred yes
terday and committed to the general pur
poses committee, with power to act.
It was decided that every member of
an affiliated association having difficulty
with respect to any contract made before
the present season should lay the matter
before the federation officers as early
as possible. It was decided to ask the
president of the local league to publish
the result of the board's Inquiries as to
the qualities of canned meats sold in this
country.
ONLY GOOD FOR FERTILIZER
Philadelphia Sends Tons of Bad
Meat Into the Vats.
PHILADELPHIA, July 11. Inspectors
of the Bureau of Health today concluded
the condemnation and destruction of 33,000
pounds of impure meat found in the cold
storage plant of the Delaware Freezing
Company. The stuff was carted away
from the cold-storage plant as fast as it
was condemned and turned over to a fer
tilizer plant.
"The loss falls heavily on the persons
who owned the meat." said Dr. A. B.
Scott, chief of the Health Bureau, "but
the sooner they learn the folly of paying
money to have kept on ice what is noth
ing less than fertilizer, the better off they
will be."
The crusade against impure meat has
been pressed vigorously by the Health
Bureau.
OLD ENGLAND IS JUST AS BAD
Horrors of Chicago Insignificant In
Comparison.
BRISTOL. July 11. At the sanitary in
spectors' conference today a delegate
named Eottomly said If the British pub
lic only knew a quarter of what was going
on in the slaughter-houses of this country
the Chicago scare would become insignifi
cant by comparison. He said be knew of
a cow suffering from pulmonary consump
tion that was sold for $15, killed and
eaten.
WILSON IS WELL SATISFIED
Packers, Says Secretary, Are Put
ting Plants In Sanitary Condition.
CHICAGO, July 11. Secretary of Agri
culture Wilson, having today finished his
work in Chicago, stated that he was sat
isfied that the packers of Chicago are
making every effort to put their plants In
sanitary shape, and that the department
will put the revised regulations into ef
fect August 1.
"I have met the inspectors in charge of
Federal Inspection from the different cit
ies of the country," said the Secretary.
"They report that conditions are improv
ing everywhere. I told them that inspec
tion under the new law will be estab
lished immediately in those houses where
the sanitary conditions which affect the
food product justify it. I also told them
that no Inspection will be given to estab
lishments where the sanitary conditions
which affect the food product are not
perfect.
"Practically all the slaughtering and
packing establishments in Chicago are on
the way to sanitary conditions which will
justify inspection under the new law.
In some cases Improvements of a per
manent character will take place, but
where want of the projected changes
does not involve the healthfulness of the
product, . the new inspection will be in
augurated without waiting for their com
pletion. I am satisfied that the packers
of Chicago are using every effort to put
their plants Iir-" sanitary shape. The de
partment will be prepared with additional
men and revised regulations on August
1. I shall expect the Chicago plants to
be ready at that time. Those who are
ready will get the inspections, others can
not expect it."
The Secretary late in the day left for
THE IOWA GOVERNORSHIP
Albert B. Cnmmlns.
Omaha, where he will make a personal
inspection of the packing houses in that

HAIL ROOSEVELT AS SAVIOR
English Grocers Rejoiced at Tele
gram About Meat.
CHICAGO, July 11. (Special.) The
correspondent of the Daily News at
London cables as follows
"President Roosevelt is today the
idol of the grocers of the United King
dom. His cable dispatch pledging the
American Government to see that fu
ture shipments of meat products to
this country are In sound condition
promises to restore to British grocers
their lucrative trade in American
meats. Archur J. Giles, secretary of
the Federation of Grocers of the
United Kingdom, now in session at
Sheffield, said to your correspondent:
" 'Some people said the President
would not reply to our telegram, I
said he would. He did, and his reply
is thoroughly satisfactory. It will be
posted In every provision shop in the
three kingdoms.'
"What now troubles grocers is how
to sell the large stock of canned Chi
cago meats already on hand. Eighty
thousand dealers are, some lightly and
some heavily, burdened with these
goods, having an aggregate value of
millions of dollars. J. R. Wilson, Ar
mour's European manager, said today:
" 'Grocers of Bristol employed ana
lysts of standing to select tins at ran
dom and subject them to the closest
Inspections. The contents were found
to be perfectly pure. Apparently other
grocers must do likewise.'
"The correspondent is informed from
Sheffield that the grocers at their
meeting this afternoon demanded that
the local government board publish its
recent analysis of Chicago meats. It is
asserted that as this investigation
proved the soundness of the meats, the
publication of the fact would go far
toward restoring public confidence."
TRADE WITH BRITAIN KILLED
Little Canned Meat Received In
June, None in July.
LONDON, July 11. In June of last year
there arrived at the Albert docks from
Boston and New Orleans 27,000 cases of
tinned meats; in June of this year the
receipts were only 4000 cases. In July.
1905, 24.000 cases were received, but thus
far this month no tinned meats have ar
rived from the United States.

Forty Chinese Students Arrive Boy

VICTORIA. B. C, July 11. Or. Charles
D. Tenny, formerly of the Imperial Chi
nes University at Tien Tsin and recent
ly appointed by Viceroy Yuan Shi Kal,
of Chi LI, as director of Chinese govern
ment students in America and England,
arrived tonight by the steamer Tango
Maru in charge of 40 young Chinese gath
ered from different provinces of China
to be educated at American colleges.
They will go direct to Cambridge. Mass..
30 of the Chinese being dispatched by the

penses. Dr. Tenny, in an interview given
to the Associated Press, said:

was not a move to oust Sir Robert Hart,
as reported, but the general opinion is that
it was the first step to securing the man
agement of the customs by the Chinese
themselves on the death or retirement of
Sir Robert Hart, now an old man.
There is no indication of an anti-foreign
movement in China. The boycott of Ameri
can goods has died out almost entirely at
Shanghai and it never has been of any im
portance in the north.
There is considerable feeling because of
the delay of the Japanese In opening Man
churia for foreign trade. Brigandage re
sults in some places because of the dis
organized condition following the war.
Viceroy Tuan Shi Kal has sent his son, Tuan
Yuen Tai, who speaks English and has been
trained by foreign military officers, with a
force of foreign drilled troops to suppress
the disturbances.
The death of the Empress Dowager, who
now rules China, would probably be the
signal for some degrea of international
trouble, as all the "nigh officials in office
owe their appointment to her. The death
of the Empress may occasion no trouble, no
heir apparent has yet been chosen as cus
tomary, but there are many eligible and a
selection would soon be made.

The aches and pains of Rheumatism are only symptoms which may
be scattered or relieved with liniments, plasters, blisters, etc., or quieted
with opiates. As soon as the treatment is left off, however, or there is any
exposure to dampness, or an attack of indigestion, the nagging pains, sore
muscles and tender places on the flesh return, and the sufferer finds that he
has merely checked the symptoms, while the real cause remains in the system .
The cause of Rheumatism is a too acid condition of the blood, brought on by
indigestion, chronic constipation, weak Kidneys, and a general sluggish
condition of the system. Waste matter collects in the system each day
which nature intends shall be carried off, but when it is left because of a
sluggish condition of the system it sours and forms uric and other acids.
These are taken up by the blood and carried to all parts of the body to produce
the pains and aches of Rheumatism. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by going
down into the blood and driving out the cause and making this life stream
rich, pure and healthy. When the blood has been purified and built up by
S. S. S. the pains and aches pass away, the muscles become soft and elastic,
and Rheumatism driven from the system. Book on Rheumatism and medi
cal advice free. THE SWtFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
