The site was low and the men were moved when the rainy season began. General Law ton had expected the troops to be ordered almost immediately to Cuba, and this cir cumstance controlled him entirely in the selection of the encampment.
 Captain Baker was followed by Colonel Curtis Guild, inspector general of the corps. Colonel Guild said he had been on duty in Jacksonville since June 1. He said he had made it his business to make an early morning inspection of the camp each day with regard to the sanitation and he knew this had been the custom of others in his department. He said he had found the officers of the volunteer forces willing to accept suggestions, and in many cases he had been thanked for them. He had also made frequent inspections of the hospitals. In the beginning thefe was a lack of gov ernment supplies for these institutions. But the deficiency had been supplied by the Red Cross. The witness testified to the devotion of the medical department and in referring to the interest of all in the care of the sick he instanced the fact that in the recent cyclone here not a single hos pital tent had been blown down. In some instances in this emergency entire brigades turned out to protect the hospital tents and hold them down.
 He mentined some cases in which goods had been received in poor condition. In one case large lot of canned beef had been received which was putrid, but the contractors had replaced 1t with acceptable goods.
 Colonel Guild said that he had never found a case of deprivation due to the fail ure of the government to furnish proper supplies.

 the statement concerning the burning of patients bed, but denying all others. Dr. Maus expressed the opinion that the charges were exaggerated.
 Colonel Oliver E. Wood, chief commissary at Camp Cuba Libre, under General Lee, was before the commission at it's afternoon session. He had occupied his position since May 21 and he had been able during all this time to fully and completely meet all acquisitions made upon him for supplies and there had never been any lack of them. As a rule also the quality was excellent.
 At first there had been trouble with the bacon and about 10000 pounds of it had been spoiled and therefore condemned and ordered destroyed. There had also been Weevils in some of the hard bread, but it had never been issued when found to be bad. All the fresh beef was brought to the camp in refrigerator cars.
 As a rule this meat was excellent and in cases where the meat was no good, the contractors had replaced 1t without requir- ing official condemnation. Yet it was nec- essary to cook refrigerator meat or put it on Ice in order to prevent its spelling in this climate. In this connection, Colonel Wood read a lettetr he had writtetn to General Lee in response to a complaint made by Colonel w. J. Bryan concerning the beef
 Criminal Negligence
 In this lettetr he said that if beef was spoiled it was generally due to the almost criminal negligence of regiment ana com many officers. He said also in the letter that the beef must be inspected when is- sued: that this inspection must be final and after this no complaints could be enter tained.
 Caotain Baker chief quartermaster, waS also examined during the afternoon session. He had been in Jacksonville from the be- ginning of the camp on the 2lst or May but at that time was quartermaster ot the | Second corps. He said that when he ar rived the command was short of all kinds | of stores, and that he had been unable in | the beginning to meet all requsiuons TOT supplies when made by the regiments as they arrived. There had, for instance, been l some trouble in securing tentage. Ihefe was also shortage in clothing, and In most cases he had assumed the responsibility ol | making purchases, and his course had art erward been approved The first clothing received was not of good quality. However, the men were as a rule glad enough to l get anything, and there was no complaint. Indeed, the troops had evinced disposi- ton to be satisfied with whatever they re- l ceived Captain Baker said he attributed | whatever delay had been experienced to the necessity of equipping so large an army | in so brief a time, and he thought under l the circumstances it was no greater than | was to be expected. n
 Lawton's Selection of Camp
 Explaining General Lawton's selection of | the first camp here, he said 1t was due to | the fact that the railroad company could | offer facilities, and to the additional fact l that water could be secured conveniently.

 The following figures prove conelusiVely the true state of affairs. The state or Louisiana has a fairly complete record up to October b, for the following localities; Franklin. 34 cases and 10 deaths; Wilson, 3O3 cases and deaths; Baton Rouge, lf6 cases and deaths; Houma, 40 cases and 2 deaths; Clinton, 40 cases and no deaths; Jackson, La 15 cases and no deaths; cin- clair Il cases and l death. Totals. 925 cases, 24 deaths.
 The figures for the other localities are not here taken into account, because be- ueved to be incomplete and unrelablee t. From an official telegram dated October J3 S:20 D. m, the total cases in Mississippi including McHenry, are 736, and forty-eight deaths dhis includes Jacksons 129 cases and six deaths). The total number of cases in the two states is 1,661, and the total num- Der of deaths seVenty-two. The mortality therefore is 4.33 per cent. This, most surely. is not a quarantnable disease and much less so than grippe, in- fiueaza, typhoid fever or scarlet fever. Certainly it is not of a malignant and fatal type. Yours very truly

 Quarantine to Be Lifted
 Memphis, October 1S.-So far as the state of Tennessee is concerned there will be no quarantine after Sunday. This is official Dr. Albright, the secretary and the execu- tive officer of the state board of health, was in Memphis today and in an interview said that there was doubt about raising the quarantine upon the day named unless there is a decided change for the warmer in the weather.
 As the case now stands the only ouaran- tine in this section of the state is from the state board, excepting as to that ter ritory over which the Memphis board has control, and after Sunday all the passengers who desire to come into West Tennessee unless they come form infected localities will be allowed to go and come as they please.

 Governor Campbell said he meant no dis courtesy to Colonel Roosevelt, as he liked a good soldier. "It is a source of wonder" he said, "to why they discharge one good soldier to go home to run for gov- ernor, and another good soldier, a colonel of a regiment, that they don't need is kept down in Florida. Tremendous applause).

 MT. Campbell said there were other soi- diers besides Colonel Roosevelt. He had seen many of them go out and not the least of them was the SiXty-ninth New ' York. This was much cheered.

II. w. Lewis Gives His Views TO n
Topeka Paper.

To the Editor of the capital
Under the above caption the Wichita
Eagle in an editorial of this date, quoted
from your columns as follows:
Mr. Stanley has not been identified,
SO far as we know, with the prohibition
troubles that have given Wichita a bad
name wherever there is a strong senti-
ment in behalf of state authority and the
enforcement Of the state laws, but the
last time he came prominently before the
public on the prohibition matter was dur
ing the Tiger BIZ campaign when he
spoke at a law and order meeting"
The last clause of this statement was
made by you, doubtless, in ignorance of
the facts; but the Eagle quotes it without
comment or discount, knowing it TO be
absolutely untrue. It was brave George
Douglass. not Stanley, who dared to stand
before an immense meeting Of the law
and order people at the Auditorium dur
ing that memorable campaign-notwith-
standing the warning given 10 him as he
entered the door. that II he opened his
mouth in favor of the enforcement Of law

from mis- law practice. from politics, from

Passing of Douglass"

the boy where he lived and he said, I'm

be in great distress. Mrs. Martindale

FRIENDS NEW CHURCH
Site Decided Over and Plans
All Drawn.
THAT GARFIELD DEAL
Davis Tells Conditions of
Probable Withdrawal.

Along with the deal for the Garfield uni
officials that the Society of Friends of
Wichita has purchased the lots on the
northwest corner of First street and
Washington avenue for the site of a big
new church building. The land has been
decided over and the plans drawn for the
church. The main part of the building
is to be 4ox4O, with angles and offsets.
The outside will be principally plain wood
work and the inside plaster finish. The
structure will be unpretentious but sub
stantial and a monument to the modest
plans but untiring efforts of the little
membership and pastor. The construc-
ton of the new edifice will cost probably
little less than two thousand dollars.
There will be Sunday school and lecture
rooms with other appointments set off as
modestly as the growing number of COM
municants and school pupils will allow.
There will be no particular effort for effect
in the building, its finishing or furnishing
but ample provision for the needs of
church and school now and as il promises
in the immediate future.
THAT GARFIELD DEAL.
The Friends, and all Wichita, for that
matter, are anxiously working hard for
the proposed new school in Garfield uni
versity. 1t appears that the contract Mr..
Davis had with Mr.. Harding was such
that unless 200 lots can be secured near
the university grounds for the accommo-
dalton of the school he will not take any
of the property, at least he is not obliged
to. Mr.. Harding has not given up all
hts interest in the entire university prop
erty. He comedies to Mr.. Davis the privi-
lege of Withdrawing from the deal in case
the lots necessary for the school con not
be secured, and Mr.. Davis says positively
he will not go ahead with the matter I'M
der any hampering circumstances. He
says it is not a commercial investment
and the Withdrawing of few lots by
owners or the advance in price will queer
the whole transaction. 1t is now for the
owners of West Side property near the
university to say whether Garfield shall
be alive and valuable or dead, and their
property adjacent and approximate dead
with it. The opportunity will never re-
turn.
