Omaha daily bee., 1902-10-27

Ever since the early reports Of the de-
partment commanders began to come in It
became apparent to the officers at the War
department that the total number OF deser-
lions for the past year would be much
larger than for many years previous. 1t
is too early to ascertain what the total
assertions will amount to. but the Judge
advocate general OF the army has prepared
a table, giving the number Of trials and
convictions for this ohense. They number
1851 for the year, but OF course this is far
below the total Of assertions, for only a
small percentage Of the deserters are APP
pretended and brought to trial. Some idea
OF the Increase in the custom of taking
French leave Of the military service, how
ever, may be gained by comparing the
lumber OF assertions in the year Just
closed with those in the preceding year.
There were only 544 convictions for this
offense in the year ending June 80, 1901,
when there were more men in the army
than at present, or when the figures for
the recently ended year we're made up.
This indicates that there has been an in
crease Of about 100 per cent in the number
Of assertions. This condition of affairs
has given to the War department ~ofAcials
some little concern, and it is likely that II
things do not improve soon there will be
an investigation to find the causes for the
wholesale abandonment OF military life by
p~rivatee in the ranks. In addition to the
thousand and odd men who we're punished
last year for desertion, there were s46
others who we're convicted Of absence with
out leave, an offense closely bordering on
desertion.

BITS OF WASHINGTON LlFE.
Minor scenes and Incidents sketcbed
ON the Spot.

Pension Commissioner Ware manifests a
disregard for the traditions OF the bureau
that is as astonishing as Il is painful to
employees In that branch Of the federal
service. One OF the first things he did
was to Danish a political pull as a means
OF promotion. Next he swooped down on
soldering" and startled the fraternity by
insisting on eight hours work for eight
hours pay, a proposition repugnant to
the constitution OF an oficeholder. Then
he pinched the two hat men-feliows who
regularly slipped out for a snort" leav-
Ing one hat on a peg to deceive the inquisit-
tive. The latest outburst from the COM
missioner is as unique and pointed as it's
predecessors. II is IN order posted on the
bulletin announcing the promotion Of ].
5. Virgins OF Georgia, whose record is
given as follows:
/. Annual leave In four years, fourteen
days.
2. Not a day sick leave in eight years.
3. On merit, excellent.
4. His chief recommends him.
8. He has steered no statesmen up against
the commissioner.
6. He has not told the commissioner
about his pedigree and distinguished rela-
tives.
Z. He has not told the commissioner how
capable he (Wiggins) is and how deserving
Of promotion.
Mr.. Virgins will be promoted today from
$1,000 to 81, 200, and chiefs are requested
to furnish the commissioner with the names
OF all others in the bureau with a similar
record. My deputies, Mr.. Davenport and
Mr.. Kelly, heartily concur.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Brooklyn Eagle reports that assertions
from the army continue at an alarming
rate, despite all efforts of the War de-
partment to keep the men In the ranks.
A policy Of swift and severe punishment
for deserters has been adopted by Secretary
Root, the number Of convictions Of offenses
Of this kind for the past year being twice
as many as In the year previous. The
full legal penalty for desertion is now be-
ing enforced.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-10-27

An experienced army %oficer, in discussing
the large number Of assertions, said to the
Eagle correspondent:
This is a subject that no two ofhcers will
agree upon. 1t has long been one of the
mysteries of the service, and l suppose will
continue so for all time. Everything
possible has been done to make army life so
attractive that the enlisted men will stick
to It. The pay has been increased and the
~rations improved, yet every day finds one
or more deserters. We have always OBJ
served that there are more cases OF this
kind in prosperous times than when busi-
ness is depressed. TIL inducement Of good
wages in private life is often enough to
wean a man from the ranks before his time
of service has expired. Then l believe, that
many Of the men who have recently given
Uncle Sam the slip enlisted for the excite
ment Of war in the Philippines, and have
been unable to endure the irksomeness Of
army life in times Of peace. In view Of the
improved conditions OF service in these days
as compared with the lot OF the army pri-
vate ten or fifteen years ago we have come
to the general conclusion that assertions
are caused by local influences rather than
by any fault within the service"

MAY Get TOGETHER
NORTHWESTERN MILLERS DISCUSS
PLANS FOR NATIONAL Or
GANIZATION
WOULD BE OF GREAT BENEFIT
1he object of the Organization Will
Be to Correct Trade Irregu-
Iarities That Now
Exist.

"a dinner was given last evening in the
grill room of the Northwestern Miller
office, at which were present a number
Of representative millers in the North
west. The meeting was for the purpose
Of considering the adUsability Of forming
p national organization along the lines
proposed at a meeting held in Chicago
several days ago, at which time COM
mittee was appointed to map out plans
or action, and to draw UP a cons Tuition
and bylaws that would govern such an
Organization.
While this committee has not been able
es yet to submit such plans, yet it has
peen deemed advisable for the millers in
this Northwestern territory, where the
bulk of the hard wheat flour is manufac-
tured, in fact, where the greatest interest
tn such an organization would naturally
center, to get together and talk over such
plans as in their judgment would be to
the best interest of the milling fraternity,
and when the proper time came for the
committee to make its report on plans,
they would be in position to go into r--e
merits of the case and discuss all sides of
the question thoroughly.
The millers in the Northwest are anx-
ious for the right kind Of an organiza-
ton to be formed, and will heartily CO.
operate in any plan that will be to the
best interest of the majority. They will
not. however, enter into a partial national
organization. If il is to be national 1t
must include ALL both the winter and
spring wheat miller. and with such an
organization working along the right
lines, direct benefits will result. 1t Will
not be the intention of the organization
to raise the price of flour, but its princi-
pal object will be to correct a number Of
trade irregularities that exist at present,
and which work to the disadvantage OF
all. Before adjourning the following res
olution was adopted:
Resolved, that the MiIlers' club of
Minneapolis indorse the plan for a Mil
lers' National Federation, as formulated
at Chicago, and that should a federation
be established and properly organized,
this club will gladly affiliate with it.
Resolved, that the club indorses the
action of its delegates at Chicago and
hereby expresses its appreciation of their
services, and moves that they be con-
dnued in their present capacity until
the work Of the new federation Is COM
bleted.'

City Physician Nelson May Have to
Make Explanation.
Thre is a likelihood that there may be
some trouble between the members of the
board of corrections and charities and
City Physician Nelson. The relations
for some time past have been strained,
and yesterday the breach was opened a
little wider by the discharging Of Chief
Engineer McConville, of the city hos
pital. McConville claims that no rea-
sons are given for his discharge. but he
thinks 1t is on account of a difference
of opinion that exists between himself
and City Physician Nelson and in re-
gard to the manner in which the con-
tagious ward of the hospital should be
heated. It is likely that the board will
reinstate Mr.. McConville at its next
meeting, because it is claimed that il
reserves the right to hire and discharge
employees of the hospital outside of those
who are not connected directly with the
medical department. Mr. McConyiIle is
an appointee OF Mayor Ames, and has
held high official positions in the ranks
