Had n Hard Time at siboney.
Chicago, Nov. S.-Three members of
/ the war inquiry board appointed by
the Auditorium hotel yesterday. They
| heard charges of mismanagement and
neglect at the Chickamauga Park camp
sufficiently startling to arouse even
| such experienced surgeons and warriors
as were represented in the little room.
General Granville NJ. Dodge, DR.. Phineas
$ Conner and Colonel James A. Sexton
were the inquisitors. DIR. Louis Schoo-
Ter or Des Moines, Ia, was the chief
witness. He was brigade surgeon and
had charge of the work in the Third
army corps stationed at Camp Thomas
In addition to the. testimony of Dr.
Schooler the board heard the story of
Mrs. Virginia f. Belts. who said that
her son, Frank f. Belts. of the First
Illinois regiment. had been murdered
by the department The mother said
day coach when he had raging fever
and should have been in a hospital.
He Wouldnt Drink the Water.
Surgeon Schooler said in the first
place there was not enough tents at
Camp Thomas TO supply the needs of
the division hospital with which he was
connected. At one time he said. there
were 200 patients and only twenty-one
tents for their accommodation. The
witness said Colonel Lee, the quarter
master, was largely responsible for this
as he could not be induced to believe
that the number of tents should be pro-
pOrtionate to the number of sick men,
1.-The water with which the camp was
supplied" said DR.. Schooler, was not
fit to drink. 1t was even repulsive in
appearance, and 1 am sure it was con-
taminated."
Colonel Sexton suggested that the
water might have looked bad, but at the
same time have been good.
We'll, know 1 would not drink it,
replied the witness. There was a Iaxity
of discipline in the camp, so far as san
itation was concerned.
Other Things That Were Wrong.
''It seemed as though all the huck-
sters in the country We're permitted to
hawk their wares about the camp. and
typhoid germs might have been i'm
ported through this means. Too many
passes were given the men to leave the
camp If they had been restrained from
going away so much 1 believe the
health conditions would have been so
per cent. better. The medical men were
hampered too much by officers who had
no knowledge of medicine and little of
sanitation. We had to go through a
great ceal of clerical work which could
just as well have been done by others. and
then ShClIll have had moro holm fO
care for the patients under our care.
The quartermaster should have given
US more lumber to floor the sick tents.
should have furnished more tents, and
what we needed most Of all was the es-
tablishment of a base hospital away
from the camp. where lingering cases
could have been properly treated"
