As the trusts are in control of
the Federal administration, MOTH
can be done to minimize the trust
evil 50 long as this administration
IL left in power. That fact is as
plain - daylight. The Dingley
tariff is the foundation of hundreds
.of industrial combines. Without
Il the trust organizations could
mot have been perfected as they
have been all over the country
Two things were necessary for
tho organization of trusts on a
Breat scale-a protective tariff
which would exclude competition
from abroad and an administra.
ton which would favor them and
not interfere with their organiza-
ton and operation. Both needs
were supplied.

FOUNDFAULT HASTILY
That is Said of a Complaint from
Manila by Miss Margaret
Astor Chanler.
MEDICAL SUPPLIES ARE ATTACHED
Surgeon General Sternberg Replies, 1t
Is Claimed, ConcIusively Prov
ing the Complaint Baseless.

Washington, Aug. S.--Miss Margaret
Aston Chanler, of New York. has for
warded from Manila to the secretary
of war a severe criticism of the army S
medical system in the Philippines, al
leging that there is lack of surgeons,
lack of nurses. lack of medical sup
plies, including such articles as sheets,
and asking that she be allowed 500
sheets for emergency distribution. A
copy of Miss CHAMBERS criticism has
been forwarded to Mrs. -CoWles, the
sister of Governor Roosevelt, and to
several officials and individuals of
prominence.
Correspondence Is 'Spifited.''
Secretary Root referred Miss Chan
ler's letter to Surgeon General Stern
berg, who has been making a thorough
inquiry into the various points raised.
He has completed it, and yesterday
submitted to Root what is regarded
as a complete refutation of the ar
raignment of the medical service in
general, and of the specific points of
arraignment made by Miss Chanler
The correspondence has not been given
,out, but it is understood to be of
rather spirited character.
Her Pen Was a Premature.
From the standpoint of the medical
officials here Miss Chambers criticism
loses much of it's force from the fact
that it was written only two days
after she arrived at Manila. 1t is said
that this shows the lack of that mature
Judgment and knowledge of fact which
long observation would have given.
The records of the war department
have been brought forward to show
that many of Miss Chanlers specific
charges lack ground The records are
said to disclose repeated kilograms
from General Sternberg to the authori-
ties at Manila asking them to state
how many nurses and doctors they
required, and to give early notice Of
their requirements, in order that all
needs might be met promptly.
There Are Sheets AID Lib.
It is said that practically the same
showing was made as to supplies. Miss
Chanler's specific criticism on the lack
of sheets, and her appeal for 500
sheets to meet pressing needs, is con-
sidered unaccountable in view of the
almost lavish provisions which are
said to have been made. Secretary
Roots disposition of Miss CHAMBERS
charges has not been made known, as
he now has before him. the original
letter from Manila and Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg's comprehensive re-
joinder.

WILL FIGHT A CHARTER
Because Its Purpose Is Friendship with
John Bull.


Philadelphia, Aug Son behalf of
a number of American citizens, him
self included, Attorney F. t. Tobin
yesterday took legal steps in the COM
mon pleas court preparatory to pre-
senting formal exceptions to the mo-
ton for a charter recently made by
the Trans Atlantic Society of America.
The efforts of the transatlantic So
ciety to secure legal recognition, ac-
cording to Tobin, have aroused indig-
nation throughout the United States.
IF the charter is approved" de-
clared Tobin, certain acts will be
Iegalized that would otherwise be
treasona BILE"
The trans Atlantic society is of re-
cent origin, and was formed for the
ayoWed purpose of bringing into closer
relations the English-speaking nations.

other things, that the creation of an

INDIAN TERRITORY OIL WELLS
Record OF Recent Operations in Bar
tIesViIIe v c!nase

Guthrie, o. T, Oct. 8-The Bartlesville
q. t. Magnet says: The Usage Oil com
pany continues the locating and drilling
of new wells, a fact denoting that the
company has an abiding faith in the flu
ture of the Bartlesville fields. Develop
ments have demonstrated beyond a doubt
the existence of petroleum in paying
quantities. Corporations do not continue
investing money in an undertaking or
enterprise unless there is promise OF an
ultimate return The fact that theh COM
pany is drilling new wells and preparing
to extend the scope Of its operations is
accepted as conclusive proof that it
knows what it IS about. The results at
tanned in the recent developments by the
Usage. company have inspired the Phoe-
nix Oil company to re-enter the field. The
latter company was the original lessee
from the Usage nation, but, encountering
a dry well or two, transferred its hold
ings to the Usage company, which took
up the work of developing the field. The
Phoenix people have contracted with c.
L. Bloom for the drilling Of three wells.
west Of town, and he has commenced
work on the same. The Usage company
will very likely drill one or more wells
at the base of the mound west of the
Santa Fe depot. in addition to the two
that are being put down elsewhere. Seven
tanks at the pump works are stored with
oil awaiting shipment whenever the price
advances. On account of prevailing low
prices only part of the daily output Of
wells l, and is being piped into town
for ShiDment
