AN OFFICIAL BLACKBOARD

Attack on General
Miles.

WASHINGTON, Jan. y, 1S9a -Commis-
sary Genera Eagan in the course Of his
testimony before the War Investigating
Committee this afternoon, called Major
General Miles, commanding the army a
'.liar, who HE'D in his throat, lied in his
heart, lied in every part Of his body"
who perpetrated gross scandal and who
should be drummed out of the service and
Imprisoned" "and should be avoided by
every honest man and barrer by every
club" He characterized his interviews as
ssfilth''
/ General Eagan's testimony follows
General Miles was asked by your com
mittee how timed fresh beef became a
part of the army ration. His answer is
You had better ask the Secretary of War
or the Commissary General / think they
can tell you. 1 know it was sent to
the army of food and the pretense is that
it was sent as an experiment. General
Miles, in saying that this food was sent
to the army as a pretense for the expert
ment, says that which implies corruption,
which SO out of every 100 people will un-
derstand to mean corruption, be-
cause it was pretense of
experiment. he says, not even giving cred
it to me forNfurnishing it as an expert

'pretense of an experiment. This is a
serious charge. should not be made by a
many lightly nor without ample evidence
to support it. Taking the statement in

assert it to be, then he should be

PASTOR LADD'S TROUBLES
Will Organize a New Mis-
sion in Lafayette His
Title Disputed.

Startling announcements are looked for
at the st. Johns u. S. Church Army
Post. on Pacific avenue, within IA few
days 1t has developed that there is a
beautiful row now on in that organization
because of the unpleasant tactics of some
Of the members. The result was the res
ignation of Mr.. Charles Ladd. who left
that field OF work on Saturday night.
The real cause of the trouble was ex-
plained by a member last evening. He
said that a few weeks previous to Mr..
Lai1's resignation many complaints
were heard as to the manner in which
the meetings were conducted This came
to the ears of the pastor and accordingly
he made changes which he deemed would
please the dissenting faction.
This had no effect. and finally his posi-
ton became so uncomfortable that he
sent his resignation to the Rev. DIR. E.
i. Stoddard of ST. Johns p E. Church,
which church had charge of the Lafayette
work. The resignation was not accepted
right off. as time was wanted to engage
another leader. All efforts proved unsuc-
cessful and Mr.. Ladd, after serving a
week. after he sent his resignation in, leIt
last week for good Some wanted him to
stay, but he was obdurate A number of
the members left with him. but how many
could not be learned.
1t was also learned that one reason for
the unpleasantness was that many of the
members objected to Mr.. Ladd having the
title of Reverend prefixed to his name
Captain, or. rather. Reverend, Charles
Ladd. as he is now called, was licensed to
K. r. Tlo&1, IL IN, T,1on
of last year. by the Life and Advent
Union
1t is Mr.. Ladd' S intention to start a mis-
sion in Lafayette, and the first services
will be held Sunday morning. in Bunnell's
Hall. Communipaw avenue and Van Horn
street. He will call 1t the Household OF
Faith" Pastor Ladd refused to talk last
evening on the subject.
One Of his followers was not SO reticent
and when questioned said:-
""There is big surprise in store for some
of those people, and the biggest kind OF
a bombshell win be dropped within a
few weeks Mr.. Ladd has not been treat
ed rightly by any means, and the tactics
resorted to by some of the members was
enough to discourage any man. There
will be many surprises for some of those
members shortly. and they will be sorry
they brought about Pastor Ladd's resig-
nation That talk about him not being
entitled to Reverend before his name, is
all nonsense. He has perfect right te
it, and that's what many were kicking
about.
The first of series of lectures to be
given by Pastor Ladd was held last even
ing in Bunneli's Hail. His subject was
"Our Country The lecture was d sue
cess This was the first step taken by
him to organize mission work.
Mrs. Brice Collard. has been in charge
of the meetings since Pastor Ladd re-
signed and would say nothing about the
marter.
