that makes the amount wrong.
Any man who has a level head,
who treats his fellow-men In
civil and courteous manner, and
spends his money for laudable
purposes, keeping it in circula-
ton cannot have too much
Practically the same thing is
repeated by Mr.. Chauncey NJ.

1T all dnpends on the man or
woman. In my opinion, too much
money is more than q man can

Mrs. Hetty Green, one Nof the
richest women in the world. thus
expresses her views on the sub

II don't see how money has
anything to do with making q
man a good citizen. One thing
is sure-he can be just as good q
citizen without any great amount
of money, but it is certain that
he can be more usefdl with =

any too much. There is no need
of any man having too much

DEATH OF sEReT. DoBsoN.
Capt. Hodges Delivers Hi~ .Testi-
mOny Before Col. DENLY.

Col. DENLY. of the Alger Relief Com
mission continued his inquiry into the
death of Sergt. Dobson yesterday. The
testimony of Capt. Hodges. of Company
D. District of Columbia Volunteers. was
heard.
The witness said he had urged Dobson
to go home shortly after the arrival of
the regiment at Montauk. He had done
this because Dobson complained of pains
in his back and general ill-health,' and he
thought it would be much better for him
to be among his own folk. Dobson, how
ever. was so anxious to march home with
his regiment that he tried TO conceal his
real physical condition, and when at last
he was ordered TO the hospital ne wept
bitterly
Capt. Hodges explained that the reason
Dobson was marked duty by DIR. Cox.
was that ne had not before been on the
sick list. and that he had discovered the
mistake and released him from duty.
There was confusion in the hospitals. and
ii was difficult to procure ambuances,
and sometimes patients ordered 10 the
hospital had TO wait for twenty-four hours
on this account.
Capt. Hodges's testimony, il is under
Stood rs the last that will be taken by
the commission on the Dobson case. a
letter has~been received by Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg. from Major w. ". Borden.
brigade surgeon OF the United States
Volunteers who was in charge of the
transport which conveyed Sergt. Dobson
from Montauk to New York, in which
Major Borden denies the charges OF neg
lect made by Mrs. Dobson. The letter
goes into minute details of the trip. Major
Borden, however. says that 1t is probable
that he did not see Dobson himself.

DIR. BOYD THE PROSECUTOR.

Proceedings Against Jockey Club
Instituted by Minister.
Additional facts which have come TO
light in the proceedings against S. S.
Howland and other members OF the
Washington Jockey Club show that the
prosecution was instituted in the first
place by the Rev. DR.. ]. H.. Boyd. pre-
siding elder of the Washington District,
Baltimore Conference, of the Methodist
Church South. through his attorneys, j.
X. NJ. Norton and c. c. Carlin. The war
rants on which the prosecution is based,
were sworn out after an appeal to the
President had failed of results.
DIR. Boyd called at the White House on
November II, accompanied by his attor-
neys, and requested an interview, which
was refused. letter was then written
to the President by the minister in which
the latter stated that gambling and rae
ing for purses was being carried on in
the District and asked the President to
instruct the Attorney General to see. that
the law regulating such matters was en-
forced against those responsible.
Secretary Porter, on the following day,
informed DIR. Boyd that the President had
referred the matter to the Attorney Gen.
eral The latter official, DR.. Boyd says,
refused to take any action himself, but
agreed to turn the case over to District
Attorney Davis.
Mr.. Davis was requested by DR.. Boyd
to issue warrants for the arrest of the
managers of the club and the bookmak-
ers, but declined until he had received,
reports from his own detectives. After
these reports were received, he said that
he would issue the warrants, but would
not permit the arrest Of the offenders.
Warrants were finally taken out before
Justice O'Neal. and sent to police head
quarters. Mr. Davis was consulted and
stated that-warrants were being prepared
in his Office. but, inasnuch as the others
