CHARGES BY MISS CHANLER.
Army's Medical System Criticised. Surgeon
Sternberg Shows Them Baseless.
(By the Associted Press }

Washington, August Miss Margaret
Astor Chanler, of New York, has for
warded from Manila to the Secretary OF
War a severe criticism of the armys
medical system in the Philippines, alleg
ing that there is lack of surgeons, lack
of nurses, lack of medical supplies, in
cluding such articles as sheets, and ask
ing that she be allowed 500 sheets for
emergency distribution.
Secretary Root referred Miss Chanlers
letter to Surgeon General Sternberg, who
has been making a thorough inquiry into
the various points raised He has COM
pleted, and today submitted to Mr. Root
what is regarded as a complete refuta-
tion of the arraignment of the medical
service in general and of the specific
points of arraignment made by Miss
Chanler. The records of the War De-
partment have been brought forward to
show that many of Miss Chanler's specific
charges lack ground. These records are
said to disclose repeated kilograms from
General Sternberg to the authorities at
Manila asking them to state now many
nurses and doctors they required, and to
give early notice Of their requirements,
in order that all needs might be met
promptly 1t is said that practically the
same showing was made as to supplies.

Corporal Milt Trasper said he arrived
in Frankfort on January 25th and re-
mained until after January 30th. He was
in the House cloak room looking out of
a window toward the executive building
when the shooting occurred. He saw
window on the third floor Of the execu-
tive building raised, heard the shots and
saw smoke, but could not see either man
or gun. Witness did not go up into the
executive building for over an hour after
the shooting.
He claimed that he found two boxes
one upon the other near the window he
had noticed open when the shots were
fired
Cross examined, Trasper said he was
member of John Powers military COM
pany. The latter sent for him on Janu-
ary oath and told him he had secret or
ders from Governor Taylor to bring his
military company to Frankfort. Witness
was afraid trouble might come up over
the soldiers going in this manner and
preserved Powers note to protect himself
in case there was any irregularity about
it. Witness did no military service at
Frankfort until Immediately after the
assassination. John Powers met him and
told him to get his gun, which he did.
DR.. J. w. Prewitt testified that John
L. Powers became i'll at Frankfort about
noon, January 25th, and that he was call
ed to see him twice that day. Robert
Noakes had testified in regard to several
conversations with Powers on that day
and DR.. Prewitt's testimony was in con-
tradiction of Noakes.

TRYING TO KILL TESTIMONY.
The Program in the Powers Trial. Corporal
Trasper's Statement.
(By the Associated Press.)

Georgetown, KY, August 7.-Toiay's
session of the trial of former Secretary
of State Caleb Powers developed the fact
that both sides in the case will deal eX-
tensively in the contradiction and i'm
parchment of witnesses.
The most important testimony heard
today was given by Corporal Trasper, of
the Barboursville company, of which
John Powers was captain. Trasper tes-
titled that the shot which killed Cover
nor Goebel was fired from the third story
of the executive building, and not from
the Secretary of States office, which is
on the first floor. Trasper declared he
saw the window raised and saw the
smoke from the explosion, but did not
see the gun or the person who fired it.
At the afternoon session of the court
the defense further sought to contradict
w. H. Culton by introducing two wit
nesses who testified that Culton told
them he had an agreement with the
prosecution by which he was not to be
confined in jail
CuIton on the stand denied that he ever
made such a statement.
State Senator George H. Alexander, of
Louisville, testified as follows:

office talking to him when the shooting
occurred. There was one shot, sharp and
loud. and four others which were dull and
muffled. l got up and ran out of the
