Few people comprehend what an Inn

SECTIONAL LINES 0BLITERATED
No Discrimination Against Sons of the Sunny Southland, and They Are Getting Their Share of
 Officers and Men

Washington, August 29.-(Special) )-The story continues to be circulated that the south is to be ignored in recruiting men for the new regiments. Such is not the case. This is shown by the list of officers who are designated by an army order to- day for temporary duty as recruiting off, cers for the ten new regiments. Savannah, Macon, Knoxville, Nashville, Louisville and Raleigh, all southern cities, are named as recruiting points for new regiments
 Sectional Lines Oblitrated
 The war department has exercised care to obliterate all sectional lines in recruiting it's troops. Thus the headquarters of the Fortieth are at Fort Riley. Kansas, and recruiting offices for the regiment have been established in Macon St. Louis, Bati- more. Topeka and Fort Riley. Similarly. the headquarters of the Forty-sixth are at South Birmingham, and recruiting of fees are at Raleigh. Nashville, New York, Boston, Providence aud Baltimore. The headquarters of the Forty-seventh are at Camp Meade and the recruiting offices are at Louisville, Pittsburg, Philadelphia. Lexington and Baltimore. No discrimina- ton whatever has been made against the south. The southern states are receiving their quotas of officers and every oppor- tunity is afforded men of the south to en- list if they desire.

 IN CLEVELAND Union Men Assault the Motor men Employed on the Big

Cleveland, O., August 29.-Rioting and disorders broke out tonight in connection with the strike on the lines of the Big Con- solidated Street railway, and four cars were nearly demolished, while the crews were compelled to flee for their lives.

THINKS CARTER INNOCENT
Wayne MacVeagh, the Captains Coun'
 sel Writes of the Case

Chicago, August 29-Frank P. Blair, the United States engineers corps, in the courtmartial which convicted that officer of rolbbng the government and sentenced him to a dismissal from the army, a five year term in the penitentiary and to pay fine of $10,0O0, received today the brief prepared for his client by Wayne Me Veagh, of Pennsylvania.
 The attorney devotes considerable pro- portion of his 3S,OO0 words to attacking members of the courtmartfal.
 He expresses his personal view of the case in the following words:
 T began the examination of the record of the trial with the strongest impression, produced by what had read in the news papers, that Captain Carter must be guilty. Of course knew, as everybody knows, how often a majority of the officers de- tailed to try important cases have con victed innocent men, but I assumed from what had read that in this case the con tractors had seduced Captain Carter into a criminal conspiracy with them.
 IA most careful study of the evidence has completely satisfied me that Captain Carter is as innocent man as am. It is not only that there. is absolutely nothing in the proof submitted which is not entire ly compatible with his innocence but many facts are proven which are absolutely ire eonciable with his guilt"
 Continuing, Mr. MacVeagh declares that his client has not asked and will not ask for mercy from the president.

Washington, August 29.-With about a hundred commissioned places yet to fill in the ten new regiments under organization, Secretary Root finds himself overwhelmed with applications even greater in number than the sum total of those received at the beginning of the Spanish-American war.

This same willingness to re-enter the service is said to be observed among the enlisted men.
 Secretary Root has resolved to entertain no personal applications for commissions. and insists upon all being preferred through the regular channels.
