BOOZ'S PASTOR EXAMINED.
and Was i'm Good Health Before
Going TO West Point.

Bristol, Pa. Jan. 5.-The congressional
committee which is investigating the AL
legged hazing of Oscar Booz completed it's
work here late this afternoon and will re-
convene in Philadelphia on Monday morn
ing. Most of the testimony heard to-day
related to Oscar Booz's mental, physical
and personal characteristics. Every wit
ness called spoke of the high character
of the young man. He was considered in
good health before he went to West Point,
any many persons testified as to his
changed condition when he returned from
the Academy. It was also brought out
that he was proficient in his studies
The feature of the two sessions held was
the examination of Rev. DR. Alexander
Alison, pastor of the Bristol Presbyterian
Church, al which the Booz family wor-
shipped DR.. Alison delivered the funeral
sermon at the obsequies of Booz, in which
he made what the committee thought were
implied charges of severe hazing against
cadets of West Point. The committee had
newspaper extracts of, the sermon read
to the pastor, which he pronounced as
correct The members of the committee.
especially Mr.. briggs of New York, tried
hard to have DR.. Alison go over the
statements in the sermon. This,
however, he could not do say
ing he based most of his remarks
on what the family had told him and
what he knew of Oscar Booz himself. Dr.
Alison was closely questioned as to the
propriety of a minister of the gospel in
making statements from the pulpit which
he could not prove under oath, and which
might give the country at large an unfa-
vorable impression of the national mill
tary academy. 1t was not the purpose of
the committee, Chairman Dick explained
to the witness, to question his honesty,
but on the contrary, they We're trying to
get down 10 rock bottom facts
The committee will probably finish its
work in Philadelphia Monday, and will
begin taking the testimony of the cadets
at West point Tuesday.
The committees examination of wit
nesses here and at Philadelphia has been
most searching, and the congressman say
they will also make their West Point in
vestigation thorough one.

MADE ALL SILVER COINS.
COunterfeIters' Who Had Been
Making Halves and Quarters.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The officials of the
secret service of the Treasury Depart
ment, under the direction of Chief Wilkie,
made number of important arrests in
New York last night and this morning.
For at least two months the secret ser
vice people have been at work to discover
the makers of large number of all sill
yer counterfeit coins, mostly quarters
and halves which were being freely cir
culated in New York city. The result has
been that Pic Paris and seven compan-
ions, all Italians. were arrested, and are
now in jail awaiting the action of the
United States commissioner.
The fact that large numbers of these
all-slver counterfelts were being freely
circulated in New York during the last
two years. has given Chief Wilkie great
deal of trouble. The coins being of al
most pure silver. 900 fine and fairly we'll
made, they readily passed wherever pre-
sented and rendered extremely difficult
the task of locating the makers and pass
ers.
The arrests came about in this way:
Some time ago. two Italians called on
Messr4. Platt & Co. of Gold street, New
YORK. large dealers in sheet silver and
gold, and purchased a thousand ounces of
sheet silver. One of the men was OBJ
served at the time of the purchase to
compare one of the sheets with a coin
which he took from his pocket,
in determining whether the sheets was of
the same thickness as the coin in his pos.
session. This circumstance was made
known to the secret service officials by
Messrs. Platt & Co., and force was i'm
mediately set to work upon this new
lead. From the fact that the men took
away with them only a small part of the
purchase. it was assumed that they would
shortly return for the rest After a time.
the men appeared again, and took away
another small quantity to Ill Mangln
street, on the east side of New York.
From there they were shadowed to 90
Watt street, on the west side.
The secret service officers forced an en-
trance into both houses. where they found
several of the men. eight in ALL at work.
The Mangin street house. as well as the
house on Watt street, was fully equipped
with modern machinery for rolling silver
punching blanks, etc. In one of the places
a screw press. Weighing five tons, was In
operation. About hundred ounces of
silver and quite a large basket full of
steel dies were secured
Chief Will1ie said to-day that this gang
probably was responsible for at least 80
per cent. of all the silver counterfeits
which had been put in circulation in New
York during the last two years.

VOLUNTEERS AND REGULARS.
senate Discusses Bill for Appoint
ment of Volunteer Officers to
Places in ReguIar Army.

Washington, Jan. 5.-While the Senate
was in session for more than three hours
to-day little in the way of important
legislation was accomplished. The COM
mittee amendments 90 the army reorgan-
ization bill, to which no objection had
been raised, was agreed to, but none of
the contested amendments was consid-
cred. Dilatory tactics were employed by
Mr. PettigreW of South Dakota to pre-
vent the consideration of matters that
would advance the business of the Sem
ate. few unobjected measures were
taken from the calendar and passed,
among them bill to appropriate 5000 to
enclose and beautify the monument on the
Moores Creek battlefield, North Carolina.
When the section of the army bill was
reached providing for the appointment of
volunteer officers 90 be officers in the reg
ular army, an extended discussion en-
sued
Mr.. Money declared there were many Of
hcers in the volunteer army who were
as clearly entitled, as gentlemen and Off
Gers, to the commissions in the regular
army as the cadets who by hazing and
by their testimony before investigating
committee are to-day disgracing the
whole country at West Point"
LIZ NohiiAl4tl66 amendment providing
that volunteer officers might be appointed
TO second ieutenances was disagreed to-
thus restoring the House provision that
volunteer officers might be appointed 10
the grade of first lieutenant
Commenting upon this part of the bill.
Mr.. Daniel of Virginia declared that he
wholly disagreed with the committee
which had drawn the bill. AS to the prop
osition for the appointment of volunteer
officers to the regular army, Mr.. Daniel
said:
1T looks like a skillful piece of engi-
neering by a regular army officer to keep
out of the army many Of the brightest and
best military spirits of the country. This
is the most proscrptive bill against the
volunteers of this country that has ever
been presented
Mr.. Daniel declared sarcastically that
the bill constituted a beautiful welcome
TO the volunteers returning from the
Philippines, providing as 1t did that no
volunteer officer could look forward to
any better grade than that of first lieu,
tenant in the regular army.
This is an exclusive BILL" he declared
provided for the purpose of being exclu-
sive. l am not in favor of turning over
the military affairs of the country to the
regular army"
At 1925 D. m. the Senate adjourned.

SECRETARY ROOT TALKS.
Volunteers Returning From the
Philippines VIII Be Mustered Out
Near Their Places of Enlist
mont

Washington, Jan. 5.-Senators Proctor
and Burrows of the Senate Military Com
mittee had a long conference with Secre-
tary Root at the War Department to-day
in regard to the military situation in the
Philippines, with special application to the
bill providing for an increase of the regu-
lar army now under consideration in the
Senate.
just before the conference. the Secre-
tary talked with number of newspaper
men. In the course of the conversation
he said there was no foundation for the
statement published in some papers that he
had predicted that the troubles in the
Philippines would end with the reelection
of President Mckinley. He explained that
he had always avoided the making OF
predictions about the speedy termination
of the Philippine troubles. The nearest
he had ever come to doing so was in his
last annual report to the President when
he summed up the military requirements
in the Philippines as demanding 10000 men
for the immediate future, though this
number might be progressively decreased
by the restoration of order, the creation
of a native police and the use of native
troops in place of the Americans. We
should require permanently an army Of
60 600 American troops. he said, and during
present conditions in Cuba and the Phil
ippines, about the present number. 100000,
would be required.
In answer to a direct question, Secre-
tary Root said that final arrangements
FOR the return of the volunteers from the
Philippines would not be made until Con-
gress had indicated it's intention with re-
gard to their replacement by fresh troops
One thing settled, however, was, he said
that the volunteers brought back to the
United States would be mustered out at
points as near their places of enlistment
as possible and not at San Francisco as
was originally intended. In. explana ion
of this plan of action he said 1t was based
on the experience gained in the muster
out of the volunteers at the close of the
Spanish war, when it was found that the
volunteers brought home from the Phil
ippines spent all their money in places
of amusement in San Francisco and
were financially unable to continue the
journey to their homes.

MAY PROLONG LIFE
SALT SOLUTIONS MAY SUPPLY
PLACE OF BLOOD.
PROF. LoEB'S DISCOVERY.
A VALUABLE AID IN TREATING
MANY DISEASES.

Result of Series of Experfments
Made at University of Chicago.
Physicians Used More Than one
Hundred Dogs in Making Expert
ments and Found Ii Possible to-
Withdraw 30 Per Cent. of Circu-
latiOn-New Treatment May BE OF
Value I'm Many Diseases.
Chicago. Jan. 5.-As a result of a pro-
tracted series of experiments with salt
solutions, the efficacy of which in pro-
longing life was recently announced by
Prof Loeb of the University of Chicago,
two prominent physicians here claim to
have demonstrated that in cases of great
loss of blood by disease or injury, normal
salt solution, used as a restorative, will
save life. even when 30 per cent. of the
blood has been lost
The experiments, which have been ex-
tended over a period of six months, have,
according to the physicians, made practi-
cable a new system of bleeding and sub
stitution of salt solutions for persons suf-
fering from pneumonia, typhoid malariaI
fevers, perftonitis, acute and chronic
Brights disease. and all heart affections
resulting from the last-named complaint.
Much success has followed, the physicians
say. all their experiments, particularly
those made with pneumonia and Bright's
disease.
In the experiments the physicians used
more than one hundred dogs and found il
possible to withdraw 70 per cent. of the
circulation from an animal before it was
necessary to inject stimulant. The final
test was made on a dog from which 80
per cent. of the blood had been with
drawn. needle connected with a salt
water apparatus containing a 2 per cent.
solution was inserted in the jugular vein
and second needle inserted in the juno
tion of the large veins lying close to the
heart. After the blood had been drawn
off the salt solution was forced in around
the heart and into the vessels Of the
brain. The dog was able to stand inside
of an hour and on the following day was
able to walk
human patient suffering with pneu-
monia, who was operated upon, recover
ed in much shorter time than It was Gus
tomary with those suffering with that
trouble. In cases Of malaria the iniec-
ton of the salt solution was made direct
ly into the spleen and in six weeks all
symptoms of disease had disappeared. M,
claim was made that cure had been ef-
fected in cases of Brghts disease. the
physicians merely asserting that they had
removed several of the most troublesome
features OF the complaint.

NARROW, SELFISH AND CARELESS.
How American Missionary Charac-
terizes Joint Note.


Pekin, Jan. 5.-A meeting of the Prot
estant missionaries was held to-day to
consider the terms of the joint note of the
Powers to China. A majority of the
missionaries spoke on the subject. The
consensus of opinion was that the note
was comprehensive enough.
Rev. Mr.. Owens of the American Board
of Foreign Missions, said he was opposed
to it for three reasons-because it was
narrow, selfish and careless. He said that
1t did not mention the slaughter of Chris
tians, but merely referred to the killing
of Baron Won Kettler, the German minis
ter and an official of the japanese lega-
ton.
Rev. Mr.. Lowrey thought II was only
preliminary note, and said the mis-
sionaries should get together, the same
as business men, and press their demands
upon the ministers when the time came
for making the treaties.
Mr.. Lowrey's proposition that the mis-
sonaries should adopt a programme and
endeavor to get their respective minis
ters TO see it inserted in the treaties, was
agreed to.
Finally two representatives of each mis-
sion were appointed a committee to for
mulate the views Of those who took part
in the meeting.

THE VENEZUELAN AFFAIR.
of Asphalt Concessions to Two
Different COmpanieA.


Different Companies.
Washington. Jan. 5--solicitor Penfield
of the State Department to-day heard
Gen. Francis Greene and Mr.. Bean OF
New York in reference to the conflicting
asphalt concessions in Venezuela
These gentlemen represent the New
York and Berumda Company, which has
been in possession of the asphalt conces-
sions for the past twelve years, and whose
property is now claimed by La Feicidad
concessaries under later title from the
Venezuelan government. The argument
was devoted to showing that the action
of the Venezuelan government in seeking
to dispossess the New York Company was
Illegal and arbitrary and had been de-
clared such by the Supreme Court of
Venezuela. 1t was now sought to ac-
complish by indirect means what that
court had forbidden to be done directly.
The solicitor of the depar tment also has
heard arguments in behalf of LaFelicidad
by Messrs. Warner. Quinlan and Suli-
van, strongly defending the action of the
Venezuelan government in the premises.
He will now take the case under consider
alton with a view TO submitting a report
and recommendation on the subject TO
Secretary Hay. Meanwhile, Minister
Loomis at Caracas is expected to see to
1t that the present occupants of the con-
cession are not forcibly dispossessed by
the Venezuelan government ID advance

THE SAN JOSE COLLEGE.
Philippine Commission Decides That
Its Ownership Must Be Settled in
the Courts.


Manila, Jan. 5.-The decision of the
Philippine Commission in the San Jose
Medical College case unanimously refers
the settlement of the questions involved
to the courts and provides trustees. who,
with the assistance of the attorney gener-
al of the Philippines. will inaugurate and
prosecute the litigation. The sum of
5000 is appropriated for the expenses of
the suit.
A bill has been passed carrying out the
terms of the decision. 1t appoints five
physicians as trustees, including DR..
Tavera, who is the complainant through
out and Col. Greenleaf, the chief surgeon
in the Philippines. The trustees are re-
quired to begin suit, within a month,
in the Supreme Court of the
Philippines, to determine whether
the ownership of the college is in the
church or in the government. The Domi
ncan rector of St. Thomas University
and Archbishop Chappelle are required
to defend the suit on the part of the
church The act provides that the decis-
ion Of the Philippine court is not TO be so
final as to make it impossible for Con-
gress to provide for an appeal to the
United States Court. The opinion says:
"A case involving the construction of
the treaty of Paris and the effect upon
public trusts of the transfer of sovereign
ty from a kingdom in which church and
state are united and inseDarable to one
in which church and state are entirely
separated, is of such import that it ought
to be submitted to the highest tribunal
The commission recommends that Gen.
Macarthur rescind Gen. Otis order sus-
pending the conduct of the medical col
Iege under the rector of st. Thomas Uni
