A KANSAS FATHER
Searching FruitIessly For His
Sick Soldier Boy LIN Wash
ingtOn.

Last Tuesdays Washington Post con-
tains the following pathetic article:
The Post has received the following
pathetic letter from a Kansas man,
who has already lost one son through
what he calls the Official negligence
of the men in charge of the army, and
who has now come to this city for the
sad DUTY of locating his first sons body,
and ministering to a second son, who
is i'll some where in a hospital. The
letter is more eloquent than any synop-
sis 1t speaks for itself:
Editor Post: I am a miner, from Co
Iurnbus KaS., and am in this city in
quest of my sick son, Charles, who is in
the hospital from typhoid fever. am
told that he was taken sick on the 25th
instant, and taken to a hospital, but L
have not been able to locate him.
Ny son Willie died from typhoid fever
contracted while on the same march.
He was sick in a hospital twelve miles
from Manassas. When ne dled the or
would be put on the train and sent
home Immediately. Later a telegram
came stating that my sons body was at
the undertaker'S department, and ask
ing what should be done with it.
wired send body home at once. The
body had not come when I left home.
I have offered two sons on the altar
of love for my country, but it seems
that same country, through official neg
ligence or mismanagement, has not con-
sidered the sorrow of a broken hearted
father; but while one son lies dead an
other son lies i'll, and on account of red
tape, or some other trouble, I am not
permitted to even administer to him in
his dying moments
For Gods sake some one look into the
condition of the camps, relieve the suf-
fering, and stop breaking mothers and
fathers hearts with the chilling tele-
grams of death, which now seems to
flash through the country.

Brooke has notified Captain General

Col Goethal, that Rear Admiral Schley

General Brooke, who is also a member

MILES ASKS A QUESTION.
Wants to Know Why His Men Have
Not Been Paid.

Washington, Sept. "A dispatch has
been received al the war department from
General Miles asking why the troops in
Porto Rico have not been paid. The ex-
PLANTATION is given that the paymasters,
with money for the troops. were at Sant-
ago and ready to proceed to Ponce but
General Miles objected to these paymas-
ters, saying they would bring yellow fe-
yer infection with them, or the money
might be infected while on board the
ships. Other paymasterS have been since
dispatched to Porto Rico to pay the troops
that remained there.
Complaints have been made also by GER
tain regiments that they received no pay
while a Santiago. 1t is learned at the
department, in some of these Instances,
the requests were made by the command
ing officers of the regiments to defer pay
ment until the troops returned to the
United States. Such requests were ap-
proved by General Shafter, and accord
ingly the paymasters omitted such regi-
ments when paying at Santiago.

STERNBERG TOO BUSY.
He Has No Time to Answer Criticism
of His Department.

Washington, Sept 2.-Surgeon Gen
eraI Sternberg has sent the following
letter to a New York medical publish
ing house, which had made inquiries
of him concerning the conduct of the
war with reference to the medical de-
partment, and especially about the sub
ject Of having an immediate investiga-
ton of his bureau. He says:
Il am ready at any moment for a
complete investigation with refernce to
my administration of the affairs of the
medical department.; but the war de-
partment is not disposed to make such
an investigation as the result of senSa-
tiOnal newspaper articles. There is at
present an evident craze to criticise
without regard to truth or justice. I
have no doubt there will be a congress
siOnal investigation into the conduct of
the war; but I do not feel at liberty at
present to insist upon an investigation
for my own Vindication because it is
contrary to the general interests of the
service. 1t would make it necessary
for me to give up all the important
official work, which at present almost
overwhelms me, for the purpose of de-
voting myself to a presentation of the
facts relating to my administra ton. 1t
would make it necessary to take clerks
away from their daily tasks in order
to look up the documentary evidence on
file in my office, and in the meantime
important matters would necessarily
be neglected and the sick in all parts
of the country would suffer. 1t would
make it necessary to call upon the
medical, officers who are now urgently
needed for the care of the sick in our
various camps and hospitals to come to
Washington as witnesses, and all this
to satisfy the clamor of irresponsible
newspaper reporters. There has been
no official complaint with reference to
my administration of the medical de-
partment.
In regard to Montauk Point, in
tend to send at once Lieutenant Colonel
Chas. Smart, an experienced officer and
the professor of hygiene in our army
medical school, to make a thorough
sanitary investigation. To go myself,
such as I should like to do, would be to
neglect important official duties in con-
nection with the supply Of hospitals,
the movement of my hospital trains, of
hospital ships, etc"

GATHERING UP HER SICK.
Ohio Sends Out a Hospital Train to
Make the Rounds.

Columbus O.. Sept. AT $40 this morn
ing the Ohio hospital train pulled out for
the south to gather up and return to
their homes the sick Ohio soldiers. Gov
ernor Bushnell was at the depot, but did
not accompany the train. 1t is the in
tention to go direct to Lakeland and Fer
nandina, Fla, where the first soldiers will
be taken on board. The train will re-
turn by way of Huntsville, Ala, Chick
amauga and Nashville, Tenn. and will
visit any other points where there may be
sick Ohioans. 1t is expected the trip will
occupy six days.
The train was composed of fourteen
cars, having on board Surgeon General
J. E. Loves, in command and represent
ing Governor Bushnell; physicians and
nurses from Columbus, Dayton and To-
1edo, and one physician each from Cleve-
land and Sandusky. The seats have been
removed from all the day coaches, $50
cots being substituted. Ample supplies
were taken and the sick will be well cared
for.
At Cincinnati six additional cars fnclud-
ing diner, will be picked up with the
Queen City's quota of physicians and
nurses.
The train left here over the Panhandle
route and will be transferred to the Queen
and Crescent at Cincinnati.

MIDNIGHT LUNCH RAIDS.
Tramps Hold Carnival On Back
Porches In st. Louis.

St. Louis, Sept. 2.-Tramps or other
mOrtals equally hungry, nave peen hold
ing high carnival along Delmar bOule-
ward, Morgan street, West Belle place
and other Fashionable thOrOughfares in
the West End the last few nights. 1t
has been the custom at a majority Of
the residences in that locality to keep
the ice box on the rear porch and the
knowledge that these larders are gen
orally well stocked and easy of access
has proved an irresistible temptation to
hungry Willies who take life easy and
sleep in the parks of summer nights.
There is scarcely a residence for a
dozen blocks west of Grand avenue on
the streets named that has not been
visited within the last few nights and
the ice box ransacl1ed for palatables.
Particular preference has been shown
for salads, cake, angel food and the
good things that people who do not
work by the day are so fond of.
The tramps discovered that they can
reach the receptacles in which these
toothsome delicacies are kept without
the danger of encOuntering policemen
or the private watchmen on those beats
and they have worked this knowledge
IN a manner as practical as it is ex-
asperating to hOusekeepers who come
down IN the morning and find missing
the good things that were intended for
breakfast.
They walk around the house with the
air OF the proprietor of the premises,
open the ice box, take out what is to
their liking in the way of cold meats,
entrees, buildings, cake. an occasional
cold bottle, etc, and spread it out on
napkins as dainty as any dining room
maid could possibly do it. One advan-
tage of the arrangement is that they
are not in fear of apprehension, for the
reason that their operations are carried
on in the rear of the house, and there
they are not embarrass ed with the
work Of cleaning up after their repasts
are finished. All that is done by the
housegirls next morning.
For several days these victims of the
tramps' rapacity have been holding in
dignatiOn meetings over back fences,
trying to devise some means of put
ting a stop to the practice. Policemen
declare they can not catch the mis-
creants as they have no means of dis
tinguishing them from occupants of the
premises, whom they would not dare
to stop, and the private watchmen
have thrown up their hands in despair.

Promoters of Rival Fairs and Horse

Especial Correspondence)

Especial Correspondence
HOlton, Sept. 2.-The third day of the
rival fairs brought out a large attend
ance at the half mile park, and a very
creditable patronage at the new fair.
The sharp competition for the first time
brought to the surface open hostilities.
Up to today, so far as an outsider could
gain nothing but generous rivalry was
apparent, though no sane person doubt
ed the existance of smOuldering emberss
that would break out in a fierce fire.
Yesterday the half mile management
obtained the presence and participation
in races of several horses at the new
fair grounds. This thinned out the
the promoters of the half mile enter
prise owned some speed horses not
quite fast enough to compete with the
swift ones quartered at the mile track.
Thee men made trouble for the man
agement of the half mile track, and the
management at the new fair are MAX
ing trouble for the hOrsemen who left
them for the other track
The two harness events at the mile
track offered the best sport of the sea-
son. The judges became convinced in
the 1927 trot that Kane was not being
driven out. Jim Blaine had won two
heats. The first heat was trotted in
2:221z and the second in 2:25. Kane was
second in both heats, and the judges
took out his driver, J. F. Mcguire and
put up o. NJ. Keets. The result juti-
fed the action. Keets made the winner
take a record in the third heat of 2:211z.
The summary at this track is as fol-
lows:
