that arm is designated as the corps OF

new ARMY SCHEME
SECRETARY ALGER DOES NOT IN.
DORSE NILES PLAN.
MANY RADICAL DIFFERENCES
ALGER WOULD GIVE VOLUNTEERS
AND CIVILIANS A CHANCE.
His Plan Leaves Many Places Open
for Them-An Army of Approxi-
mately 100000 Men Provided
For-AIger Bill Intro
duced Yesterday.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-Representative
Hull chairman of the house committee on
military affairs, to-day introduced a bill
increasing the regular army to approxi-
mately 100000 men. The bill was framed at
the war department and has the approval
of the secretary of war. 1t is not the bill
framed by General Miles. as this measure
has not the high rank proposed by the
Miles bill and some of the appointments
are open to officers of the volunteers or
from civil life. 1t provides for a lieutenant
general and what is considered sufficient
! increase of major generals and brigadier
generals to command an army of 100000
men scattered from Porto Rico to Manila.
The artillery arm is reorganized, separat-
ing them into coast and field artillery, but
promotion to be by seniority of the whole
arm. A decrease of the enlisted men is
made. SO that the army can be increased
/ by recruits in case of war to full strength.
The cavalry is increased two regiments, the
infantry five. The enlisted strength of an
infantry company is not to exceed 145, so
that in case of war new regiments would
have to be formed, probably all of which
would be volunteers, but the regular army
would make a substantial first line. The
bill provides for the three battalion forma-
ton. The staff corps are increased about
40 per cent and, with the exception of the
. duJutttHt SeileFal- Inspector general anu
ordnance, are open to appointments from
! the volunteers or civil life.
( The most noticeable change is in relation
to the medical department. in which pro-
vision is made for hospital corps of 5000
privates with the necessary non-commis-
stoned officers. with a largely increased
number of surgeons and assistant surgeons.
! All officers and men serving in the sub
! tropical countries are to have an increase
of % per cent in pay. Under the immediate
/ control of the president inhabitants of the
new countries may be enlisted in the Or
ganiZations there serving.
! The bill gives a total OF fourteen regi-
ments of artillery, twelve Of cavalry and
thirty of infantry.
Chairman Hulls bill is cast on entirely
different lines from General Miles bill. SO
that detailed comparison is difficult. The
Miles bill is based on the theory of one
soldier for one thousand population. while
the Hull bill is based on the idea Of a
total force of 100000, the organization be-
General Miles provides for a general and
bill mades no provision for general, and
has but one lieutenant general. Other i'm
portant differences are:
| Hull bill, thirty regiments of infantry:
Miles bill. fifty regiments of infantry.
| Hull bill, twelve regiments of cavalry;
Miles bill, fifteen regiments of cavalry.
Hull bill, corps Of artillery: Miles BILL
| fourteen regiments of seacoast artillery
and two regiments of field artillery.

Walter Rosser, the young Tennessee
soldier, charged with the murder OF
Henry Hilderbrand in the Spreckes Mar
ket on September 10, was the picture Ct
despair as he sat in Judge Joachimsens
court yesterday morning listening to the
testimony of the witnesses that may send
him to the gallows.
The court room was crowded with the
usual morbid throng Of people, but If
they expected any startling development
they were disappointed The preliminary
examination was pushed through ex-
peditiously and no time was wasted In
asking irrelevant questions. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Graham conducted the peo-
pies case and the defendant was repre-
sented by Attorney D. A Ryan of Cen
eral Barnes office.
gave. their testimony at the Coroner's in
quest They were Willie Walsh, Sam

rd FpSSts Ba n James Gsor ssa By D
Hilderbrand's body.
The evidence of the witnesses was upon
the shooting and the GOODNESS and deliber-
alton with which it was DONE George
Bayford's testimony was. the most dra-
matte. He said that he heard the first
room of the cafe he saw Rosser with the
revolver In his hand. Rosser took steady
aim and fired second shot. He then
slowly SLOWLY walked about seven PAGES in the
trance and raising his revolver aloft
yelled, Whats the matter with the Ten
nessee boys?" and ran into the street
Policeman James testified that when he
arrested Rosser he asked him:
What the. matter, young fellow?"
Rosser replied:
DO you want some of 1t? I shot a
man."
James asked him what for" and he re-
piled:
None of your - business
After James took him back to the mar
ket to the scene of the shooting, James
said:
Ibid you shoot that MANI" and Rosser
replied:
Eyes; I shot him like soldier"
James asked why he shot him and he
again replied: None of your bust
ness" Then he grabbed James by the
throat and yelled, Tennessee boys, where
are you?"
In cross examining the witness the at
torney for the defendant contented him
self by asking questions as to whether
there was any loud language or signs Of
a dispute before the shooting, and in every
instance he was answered in the negative.
After the prosecution rested the de-
PENDANTS attorney said he had no evil
dence to offer and the Judge held the de-
PENDANT to answer before the Superior
Court on the charge Of murder without
bail.
