Mi I esc and Secretary Root Other Washington Matters WASHINGTON April 12 The re port of the testimony given before the Benate committee on military affairs by General Schofiehl formerly former ly the commanding general of the army on the bill to create a general staff was made public today He en dorsed the bill saying that he had long since come to the conclusion that there is no room under our constitu tion for two commanders and that the president whom the constitution makes the supreme commander must act through the secretary of war He added The very exalted individual office so called of commanding general of the army must disappear There is no room for it- in this government no matter who occupies it it is not a question of personality at all or the character of the individual so far as this great question is concerned He must be what others nations of the earth have a chief of staff not a com manding general Referring to the German system General Schofield said We would have to modify their sys tem so as to make it applicable If we had at the head of the army for years the same distinguished general other things being satisfactory that would be very well but what is the use of a great general as the nominal head of the army if the president will not even talk to him except to criti cise him or if the secretary of war and he do not even speak to each oth er What good is he Senator Burrows Why would not the same condition of affairs exist between the chieff of staff and the president General Schofield Because he would relieve him and get another The personal relations between the president the secretary of war and the commanding general are of all more important than any law and that is one of the reasons why this bill is absolutely indispensable or something like it You must give to the president discretion to select that man Senator Burrows Why cannot the lieutenant general of the army and the president confere as it is General Schofield They arc not on speaking terms Senator Burrows Not on speaking terms General Schofield No sir You will have to get rid of that intolera ble condition by which this man close to the president the only man who is available to do these things is a man whom the president does not talk to except to criticise him The result is bad very bad The president feels the need of such a man as did the presidents whom I have known They would say I cannot do these things I must have a military man to help me then in that situation lie perhaps sends for Colonel or Major So-and-So and he finds there is a bright young fellow and he knows about these things and in a few days it gets to be known that Tom So-and-So is com manding the army MILLER CONFESSES MURDER Music Teacher Says He Killed Carrie M Jennett DETROIT

the president at the lat tors request regarding conditions in Hawaii pending legislation affecting the territory and other matters Governor Dole said today There is some complaint among business men of Hawaii on account of tightness of the money market There are no failures or assignments of im portance Tho enterprises however are too large for the available capital The Hawaiian government is limited by the revenues which are inadequate for carrying on necessary public im provements The current revenues are sufficient only to carry ont the ad ministration expenses The last leg islature failed to enact legislation for needed loans The country lost a large part of the revenues at the be ginning of the territory by the trans fer of tho customs revenues amount ing to about 1200000 to the federal government But we are getting along The ter ritorial government is doing some thing in the way of public improve ments but not nearly so much as ought to be done The government has little
