PRESIDENT TAFT MAY TAKE HAND

Intimated that Department of Agriculture Needs Attention. SECRETARY WILSON MAY QUIT One Quarrel Follows Another and | President and His Friends Are Said to Be Getting Tired of J Condition of Affairs. 1 j Washington, March I.—lt seemg more, than likely, the way things are shaping themselves, that President Taft will soon have to take a hand in giving the department of agriculture a thorough reorganization. One row after another has been developed there for months and Secre- 1 tary Wilson jumps from oiie tub of I hot water into another. President Taft, in passing on the recent case against Dr. Wiley, intimated that! there would be a housecleaning in the department of agriculture. As yet, | however, the president has done nothing, and since then the department officials have become involved In a scandal over the Everglades swamp lands and there is a brand new fresh row started between Dr. Wiley and members of the food and drugs board over a baking powder decision. ! There is doubt on the part of many ■whether Secretary Wilson will serve out the Taft administration. Many of the president’s friends believe that a younger mar ought to be put at the head of the department and a- thorough housecleaning made. |

SOLDIERS MUTINY AND BURN PEKIN

Rioting and Looting Lead to Application of Torch. NEW GOVERNMENT MAY FALL Unable to Cope with Situation and Crisis Is Grave—Foreigners Are Safe So Far in Legation Compounds. Pekin. March 1. Perils from fire and sword are abroad in this city. The soldiers are cut of hand and the authorities have lost all control. Great fires are burning in all directions and the greater portion of the Tartar city has been destroyed. All foreigners are safe in the legation compounds. For some unknown reason, probably, lowever, because they had not been paid, the soldiers mutinied and started fighting. This was followed by noting and Tooting, and then the torch was applied. Fires broke out in all directions and soon the Tartar city was a mass of flames.

Many persons were killed!, but, all forci trs got out of danger in time. Tae legation guards gallantly sallied cut into the disturbed zones and rescued all foreigners residing there.. These were brought into the legation compounds. t The American legation first learned of the outbreak when a spent threeinch shell fell within the guard of the compound. Later on a rifle bullet struck the wall right above where Minister Calhoun was standing. There has undoubtedly been great devastation all over the capital, but it is impossible to obtain any details as no foreigner dare venture outside the legations. Much foreign property has been burred and fires are still raging in all directions. The firing however has practically stopped. One report has it that the troops attacked President Yuan Shih Kai. The soldiers also attacked the rebel delegates from Nankin, and nothing is known ns to what happened to them. The situation bring? on a grave crisis and likely means the failure of the new government. The authorities are absolutely powerless. Foreign reinforcements are on the way to assist those already at the legations, which are safe for the present.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

PORTLAND —A masked and armed man entered the Panhandle depot at Redkey, twelve miles west of here, and at the point of a revolver held up Frank Vantiburg, the operator, and robbed him of S3B and two watches. Fifteen dollars of the money taken belonged to the company, the rest being taken from Vantiburg and his broth-er-in-law, Albert Ludle, who was in the office at the time of the robbery. The robber made his escape with a horse and buggy stolen from the barn of Fay Crisler, near the depot. He is believed to have driven through Pennville two _ hours later, going northwest, but the rig has not yet been found. Railroad officers are working on the case, but have no clew or description of the man. The boldness "of the crime indicates professionalism!.

NEWCASTLE John Harris, married and with a large family, was arrested and l the police have the man who has been passing fraudulent checks on local business men the past few weeks. At first Harris stoutly denied his guilt, but after four or five victims had identified him, he confessed' that he was the guilty man. In defense of his actions Harris said he was oat of work and his family destiftue, ,ana that he hadi to have money. He was charged with issuing fraudulent checks and is in jail and the Merchants’ association will vigorously prosecute him. The arrest of Harris came about through a clew obtained by Miss Florence Archibald, employed in a local store, who had accepted a bogus check from Harris and had since been keeping a lookout for him.

NEWCASTLE —A plot w hich was revealed to Sheriff Kirk by Jesse Freelp on the way to Michigan City prison to serve a life sentence for murder, of an attempt to be made to break jail by several prisoners, including Freel, had he not beer, taken to prison so soon after his trial, caused the sheriff to make a rigid inspection of the jail, and this resulted in finding several places where walls and the window bars had Bben tampered with. No saws wdre found, as Freel said there might be, hut former searches always revealed a couple of fine saws, and how they got in the jail was always a mystery. An especial effort will be made by the sheriff to see that the jail is made as near impregnable as possible.
