MR.. ROOTS SCHOOL PLAN.
He Insists on the Proposed Training
of STAFF Officers

Secretary Root has enlisted the help Of
Senator Proctor in his scheme for a school
for staff officers and the plan of having
staff duty performed by line officers peri
odically detailed for the work. doing away
largely with the permanent staff Organiza-
tion, except. of course. in the case of med-
cal and engineer officers, and possibly ord
nance officers.
1t is proposed to have the work of quar-
termasters, subsistence officers. and inspec-
tors general performed by line officers, who
shall serve a term of four years each in
staff capacity, returning at the end Of the
period TO their regiments, where they must
remain for at least one year before they
are again eligible for staff assignment. The
idea is to afford line officers a practical
acquaintance with the duties OF the supply
and inspection departments principally.
There is grave doubt whether the plan
will be favored by Congress. There will be
opposition to the scheme among staff Of
feers, who, while not personally affected
by the contemplated change. are sufficient
ly interested in the permanency Of their re-
spective corps to object TO the proposition.

AFACToRY GIRLS TRANCE.
4 Case Near Asbury Park Which At
tracts Attention.

ASBURY PARK. y. J., Jan. 12.-The
strange trance Of Eva Rose, a pretty Brad
ley Beach factory girl is attracting wide
spread attention in Asbury Park and
vicinity. Since Tuesday the girl has been
lying in a state Of coma. apparently life
less. Her eyes are CLASSY and staring and
her jaws are set firmly like those Of dead
person. She is insensible to feeling. but
those about her believe she knows all that
takes place in her room.
Dr. Aekerman said this morning that her
condition was unchanged. He believes,
however, she will awake in few days none
the worse for her long sleep.
The story that Miss Rose came near be-
ing buried alive is untrue. Her real state
was known Tuesday afternoon a few
minutes after she was carried 10 her home.
IL is believed that the young girl is a vic
tim of overwork.

man passed through here last night on his
way TO New York accompanied by his IA
ther. who found him at Tennille, small
town several miles from here, on Wednes-

story is:
Il am twelve years old and my home is
in New York l was stolen from New York
twenty-one months ago by man named
Isaac Fisch and brought to Tennille.

months ago, but had to leave because he
treated me so badly. About three months
ago / went to stay with Mrs. Brown in
Tennille. She was sorry for me and let
me live with her.
Il don't know why Fisch stole me, and
| don't remember now how he got me to
go of with him. l know he took me with
him in New York and when We left l did
not know he was stealing me.
Il don't know how many people found
out that | was there. / think man
named Jacobs went TO New York and when
he came back and saw me he wrote TO my
people and told them where / was. My
mother came for me. and We left Tennille
this morning and came here. | knew my

OYSTERS POOR AND SCARCE.
Figures From the Report of Mary
lands inspectors.

EASTON. Md, Jan. 12.-Oyster Inspector
James H. Benson. Of Oxford, reports that
there had been delivered TO the packers AT
Oxford and Bellevue, on the Tired Avon
River, up 10 January l, $4,000 bushels of
oysters-a falling off Of 81 900 bushels COM
pared with the previous year.
This seasons catch is not up to the
standard in quality, the inspector says;
nevertheless they bring 40 and 80 cents a
bushels. This, the packers say, is too big a
price for such poor stock. As a result
many oysters are brought from Virginia.
They can be had there for 80 cents bush
ell: It costs cents a bushel 10 freight them
here. One oxford packing-house has al
ready used this season 10000 bushels of
Virginia oysters
