PROTECTION OF THE TROOPS
DEMANDED BY THE SECRETARY
OF THE SOCIETY.
It Is Alleged That the Boys in Blue
Have Been Starved, Maltreated,
and Some Even Murdered
While Sick.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-At the meet
ing of the War Investigation Commits
sion to-day Captain Howell read let
ter addressed to the commission by
Robert J. Roosevelt, secretary of the
committee of the Society for the Pro-
lection of Soldiers.
General Dodge suggested that the
letter be received and filed, and by gen.
eral consent General Dodge's sugges-
ton was adopted. The letter written to
the commission by Mr.. Roosevelt read
in part as follows:
To the Presidential Commission of In
quiry: have noticed in the morning press
that one of your members criticizes the
witnesses who have testified at the re-
quest of the committee formed in this city
to protect soldiers. They do not fix the
responsibility nor show who is to blame.
There seems to be a misunderstanding be-
tween us. We supposed that all the wit
nesses had to do was to prove the facts
and that the commission would INK the
responsibility.
The heroic boys may forget their suffer-
ings, may even refuse to testify to them;
but their mothers will not and their
fathers will not Nor will 1t do to take
refuge behind the errors of the Civil War.
There was no Intentional cruelty, such as
seems to have so often prevailed In this
The accomplishing endurance OF our
men has simply been heroic. They bore
wounds sickness, privations, to death,
even without a word. 1t was only neglect,
starvation, in fact, and abuse in the hos
pitfalls which called for the letters, and

The murderers secreted themselves in
the community and began course of

deputies effected the capture of the
men by walking in upon them at the
house at which they were stopping.

ROBBERS MURDER
GRANDMA WYNN
Left Dead by RansaCk-
ers of Her House.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26.-Aged Grand
ma Wynn, the richest resident Of
Brooklyn, ILL.,. and owner of half the
town, which lies across the river from
here, was murdered Friday night or
early Saturday morning by robbers,
who cut her throat and left her dead
in the front yard, after ransacking the
house.
Mrs. Wynn, who frequently had con-
siderable money in the house, lived en-
tirely alone. She was a kindly old lady,
with many virtues. Her only failing
was a desire to live by herself She
managed her own estate personally,
collected her rents, banked her money
and invested her savings without con-
suIting any one. Mrs. Wynn was esti-
mated to be worth from $4,000 to $780,
000
The murderer or murderers left no
clue. 1t is not known how much money
they obtained but the amount must
have been considerable. Mrs. Wynn's
relatives all live in St Louis. They
asked her many times to leave Brook
Ign and put her property there in the
hands of an agent, but she always
refused.
A negro man and woman living near
the scene of the murder have been
arrested on suspicion. They tell con-
f1icting stories about two tramps and
act SuSpiciouSly.

ADVERTISEMENTS
THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR
INDIGESTION,
AS Well as the Safest and Cheapest.

The new medical discovery, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food in
stead of making the WORKOUT stomach
do all the work, give'it a much needed
rest, and cure Of dyspepsia is the
natural result
You get nourishment and rest at the
same time because these tablets will
thoroughly digest all wholesome food
taken into the stomach whether the
stomach works or not. A cure is GER
tain to result because the digestive
organs are given chance to rest and
recover their natural Yigor and tone
The Tablets are then no longer re-
quired.
To show the manner in which the
remedy acts on different people and
how quickly and effectually it cures
stomach troubles we present few re-
cent cases.
Mr.. J. o. Wondly Of Peoria. Ill.
writes: I was unable to eat anything
but the plainest food and even that
often distressed me, but since using one
box of Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets I can
eat anything and everything want
Mrs. Samuel Kepple Of Girty, Pa,
writes: 1 have been entirely relieved of
my stomach troubles by your Tablets.
I suffered three years with sour
stomach and gas at night. l am thank
full for them.
Mrs. A. E. Bowen, Barnard, VT,
write: I think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are the best thing for dyspepsia
/ ever took. I will recommend them to
any one troubled as bad as I was.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will not
disappoint becr--ea they cure Dyspepsia
surely and lastingly by causing the
food to be properly assimilated, and
cure constipation by producing the
proper quantity of bile. Sold by all
druggists at 30 cents per package.

then only home to their families-letters
which were sent to me by broken-hearted
mothers in pitiful appears 20 try and heip
their sons. 1 wish your commission could
have read them, but as many or them
were transmitted to me conf1denually
cannot even quote from them:
The witnesses have established mon on,
strous incapacity. That they have not full
confidence in the power Of your commits
sion, no matter how good it's Will. to meet
all the requirements the public demands
of it, is only echoing your own doubts;
but in spite of that they seem to have
done their share, and 1t would seem that
it only remains for you to do your best,
even If that best is not quite Sausfac-
tory to yourselves. If done in good faith
1t will teach the soldiers that at least
there is a power which was honestly
endeavoring to do them justice.
You can direct your inquiries in the first
place to the food supply. Find out who
gets the differ ence between the double
rations allowed by the Government and
the meager bareback, bacon and green
coffee served to the soldiers. The wit
nesses are the books and the rolls In the
public departments, to which you have
full access.
We have furnished you the facts, shown
you the brutality, cruelty, neglect, fndif-
ference: how men whom the Government
was under every obligation to protect, and
especially because they had right to rely
upon such protection, were starved even
in the land of plenty; were uncared for
when sick; left without attention: when
wounded were abused, maltreated; in
some cases practically murdered: We
have shown you an indifference and bellt-
Ting of human sufferings which continue
even now. If this nation is to become a
warlike one, if we are to have an array
which shall be efficient and to be relied
upon, these crimes and blunders must be
corrected; and your commission must cor
rect them 1t is not for you to make the
feeble excuse that your commission, q
mere voluntary association, with no legal
existence even,. shall shoulder this respon-
sibility.
The afternoon session completed the
work of the commission in this city.
