BIG IMPROVEMENT IN VIEW
WORK CONTEMPLATED AT WASH
INGTON BARRACKS.
The Secretary of War Asks for an Ap-
preparation of 81 100000 to
Cover the Project.

Extensive improvements are contemplated
at Washington barracks. The Secretary of
War has forwarded to Congress an estimate
of 81, $50, 900 to cover the projected improve
ments.
One of these estimates, amounting 10
s4OO 600. is to enable the Secretary Of War
to construct at Washington barracks main
building for the Army War College and the
quarters actually needed for the president
of the college and his military and academic
staff according to plans submitted by Cen
eral Gillespie, chief of engineers. subject TO
such notifications as may prove to be ex-
pedient during construction, including all
necessary expenses not specifically men
toned. ,o ooo
Another estimate, amounting to SS6oVoo'
is to enable the Secretary of war TO recon-
struct Washington barracks to serve as an
engineer post and engineer scnool oi appii
cation, according to plans submltteo-py tne
chief of engineers, subject to Such 1nodlHcd-
tions as may prove to be eXped1ent during
construction, to include sea walls, grazing
and filing paving and sidewalks, seWerins
and draining tree planting ana provision ior
lighting and protection against IRE, the con-
struction of new barracks, quarters store
houses school buildings and other necessary
structures and the moving and ALTERATION
of existing buildings and all other work
needed for the proper establishment OF saio
engineer post and engineer school Oh ap-
plcation.
In both cases 1t is provided that the ap-
propriations shall be available lmmedldtefy
and until expended. 1t is also provloeu tIiat
the Secretary of War shall be authorized to
expend the appropriations, by contract or
otherwise as shall be deemed most econom-
ical and advantageous to the United States

GEN. sTERNBERG's COMMENT.
Says That DR.. Reed is Evidently Mis-
informed.


Surgeon General Sternberg Of the army
says in reference to that part Of the speech
Of DR.. Charles A. L. Reed. the retiring
president of the American Medical Associa-
tion, at Marion, Ohio, Tuesday night which
alleged an inability to fill vacancies in the
army medical corps:
'Dr. Reed is evidently misinformed with
reference to the filing Of vacancies in the
medical corps of the army. The corps was
increased by Congress at its last session by
the addition of two colonies, two lieutenant
cclonels, ten majors and 115 assistant sur
goons. This increase was out of proportion
greater in the lower grades than in the
higher-and in the absence Of additional
legislation would make promotion very
slow for the fifty or sixty assistant sur
geCns at the foot Of the list of those ap-
pointed. But, as a matter Of fact, about
eighty of the vacancies created by the re-
organization act have been filled during the
present year, and a considerable number
of applications are now on file. do not
believe that up to the present time the
failure to provide for more officers of the
seeking admission to the medical corps Of
the army" 81.
The criticisms passed by DIR. Reed upon
the commanding officers at military camps
find an echo in the medical corps here but
of course they do not care to say anything
for publication on that point. 1t is an old
grievance on the part Of the surgeons that
they are obstructed in carrying out their
plans for the sanitation of camps by line
officers above them in rank. This sort of
complaint was common in the civil war,
and the controversy between line and staff
broke out again during the Spanish war,
to which DR.. Reed has reference in his
speech.

OPPOSITION DEVELOPED
AGAINST REDUCING THE REPRE-
SENTATION IN THE SOUTH.
Meeting of Southern Republicans Last
Nfght-Caucuses of Both senate
and House Likely.

The efforts Of Representatives Crum-
packer and Moody for legislation In the di-
rection of curtailing the representation OF
the southern states in Congress are con-
fronted with the possibility of opposition
within the republican ranks. 1t may be
necessary to hold republican caucuses in
both Senate and House to secure unani-
nous action on a party policy.
Conference Last Night.
A conference of southern republicans in
Congress was held last night, at which
were present Senators McComas of Mary
land and Pritchard of North Carolina, and
members of the House from West Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Mis-
souri, and Maryland. The chief feature dis
cussed related to the apportionment of rep
resentation from the south. with particular
reference TO Mr.. Crumpacker's bill which
seeks to reduce the souths representation
on the ground that the negro is deprived OF
his vote
The discussion was entirely informal in
character, and no action was taken by the
conference The talk showed, however
that the members were not entirely in ac-
cord on the question of their attitude with
respect to the bill. Senator Pritchard de-
clared his positive opposition to it.
Another meeting will be held next We'd
nesday night, at which 1t is expected some
agreement will be reached as to what
course the republicans from the south will
adopt on the measure when it comes up In
the republican caucus The southern re-
publicans hope soon to perfect an organiza-
tion for the protection of the interests of
that section coming before Congress.
Ground of Opposition.
The opposition developed at last nights
meeting Is based mainly upon the ground
that the proposed reduction OF representa-
ton will effectually put an end to hopes
Of building up republican party from the
conservative business interests of the
south.
There is no doubt caucus of republicans
of the House will be held Immediately after
the holiday recess. Mr. Crumpacker has Sc
cured the requisite number of signatures
to petition for a caucus call, and will
present 1t when the full attendance returns
after the recess.

BURNS CAUSE DEATH.
COlOred Woman Expires This Morning
at Freedman's Hospital.

Mildred Hickman, colored. fifty-eight
years of age, was severely burned about
the body about 4:30 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon at her home. at 77S Sheridan ave-
nue. northwest. and died from the effects
shortly after o'clock this morning
The woman was engaged at the time of
the accident in preparing the evening meal
and the fire. which she had just started
did not burn up as rapidly as she desired
it to do, and she poured coal OIL in the
stove. Instantly the flames enveloped her.
and the unfortunate woman, after scream
ing several times, fell to the floor in agony
Her screams were heard by people in the
house. who hurried to her assistance. She
was wrapped in blanket and the flames
were smothered.
The ambulance from Freedman's Hospi-
tai responded to hurry call, and the wo-
man was carried to the hospital. Every
thing possible was done by the physicians
to relieve her sufferings, but it was found
to be impossible to save her life. The cor
oner was notified Of the affair.

When these strong banks put out new

Or may stockholdeT,s insistent upon ex-

Value of New Stock.
THE question as to whether or not a
bank increasing it's stock shall place that
stock at par or at perrnium is for the
courts to determine if it cannot be satis-
factoriy adjusted by those interested. It
would be immaterial, so long as the new
stock were given out to shareholders on a
pro rata basis, whether il was isseud at
par or at a premium. since they would
profit in an equal proportion in either case.
But If any of the new issue Is placed out
side the ranks of the old stockholders it
would be unfair not to require. the new
comers to pay book value. The articles of
vision for the issue of stock in case
of increase upon pro rata basis to share
holders of record at that time. But the
law is silent and the articles generally are
silent in respect to price. except that it
shall not be below par. There is no decis-
ion of the courts on that point affecting
national banks that recall, although there
are decisions of the state courts in relation
to corporations organized under the laws
OF the states which seemingly would
apply"
