Veteran Of Two Wars Praises tn
American Soldier

CHICAGO, July 17.-One thousand old
soldiers met at the Memorial Hall last
night at a reception for Gen. Lloyd
Wheaton, who was retired from active SER
vice on Tuesday Mingling with members
Of the Grand Army of the Republic, who
acted as host for the occasion, were num-
bers of younger men who saw service either
in Cuba or in the Philippines.
Gen. Wheaton was introduced by Gen.
John c. Black and replying, said:
Operations in other lands have brought
to me the conviction that the grandeur and
power Of the great republic is respected and
recognized wherever civilization exists, and
that this respect is not based alone upon a
regard for our material prosperity, CONNER
cial greatness or our liberal institutions,
but in a measure upon the prowess Of our
soldiers and sailors
Having served more than forty-one
years with the men who carry rifles 1 can
assure my companions of the civil war
that the American soldier of today is the
worthy descendant of the men who fought
at Shiloh, Vicksburg and Gettysburg On
der the new conditions Of war he cannot
be surpassed and will meet with every ex-
pectation of his countrymen."

ROME, July 17-Father Santiago Pava.
provincial of the Dominicans in the phil
ippines. who is staying here when inform
cd by the correspondent of the Associated
Press OF the result of Gov. Tafts negotis-
lions with the Vatican on the subject OF
the friars and their lands, expressed salts
faction at the acceptance of the first pro-
posal of Cardinal Rampolla. the papal sec
retarv OF state. that the matter be dis
cussed at Manila between an apostolic dele
gate and the governor in Manila When
asked what was likely to be the outcome
Father Paya replied:
1t is more important to know what will
be the outcome of the matters between the
Americans and the Fflipinos. Although the
war is almost over and the Filipinos now
protest friendship for the Americans they
In reality dislike them Just as they dis
liked the Spaniards. The Fllipinos say they
did not struggle against Spain TO calmly
surrender their independence"
Father Pava concluded with declaring
that IL was not true that the people were
against the friars. The latter, he further
asserted. were hated only by the native
clergy and a fraction of the people.

LIABILITY OF COLLISION.
Dr.. Dobson Writes to the District
Commissioners.

DR.. II. A Dobson Of 1C0 18th street north
east has written TO the District Commission
ers calling their attention to the danger Of
a collision between the apparatus of the fire
department and the cars of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company at the cor
ner OF 18th and East Capitol streets.
81 invite your attention" ne says, Ito
what appears to me 70 be a dangerous
practice AS you know. the Metropolitan
railroad cars, eastbound. turn south on 1Ith
street east from East Capitol street and
proceed some go feet. when they turn east
on the side of Lincoln Park. The west
bound cars turn south from the north side
of Lincoln Park, and after about 200 feet
turn west into East Capitol street This ar
rangement causes cars TO be very frequently
tween Massachusetts and North Carolina
avenues.
AN alarm of fire northeast or southeas st
of Lincoln Park brings the engines up or
down 18th street. and as II has not been de-
clared fire street the cars do not stop
either way except for passengers to get on
or of. II seems to me that danger of col
lision Is very great. especially when an en-
CINE is going south on 18th street. 1t is
much greater than il the cars crossed the
street at once, for they turn upon il in two
directions. and houses on the northeast
corner OF East Capitol and Nth streets
completely hide the view of 18th street from
the motorman. My interest in the matter Is
10 protect both fremen and trainmen and
passengers If an engine were going at a
rapid rate south and car came rapidly
from the east at the same time no earthly
power could prevent bad accident"

PRELArEs IMPOSING FUNERAL.
Archbishop Feehan Of Chicago Laid to
Rest Today.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE last rites of the
Roman Catholic service for the dead were
performed for Archbishop Patrick A. Fee
han today at the Cathedral of the Holy
Name Early in the day a series of masses
was begun by the numerous visiting priests,
ending in the great pontifical requiem mass
During the funeral service crowds
thronged the streets in the vicinity OF the
cathedral, which was filled to overlooking
by members of the clergy and a favored
few of the laity. Cardinal Gibbons, with
his deacons, oficiated at the solemn pom
tif1cal requiem, which was conducted by
Bishop John Lancaster Spalding of Peoria.
Archbishop Ryan Of Philadelphia delivered
the funeral sermon. After the mass Car
dinal Gibbons pronounced absolutions The
body of the dead churchman was then
borne to vault in Calvary cemetery,
whence it will be removed later to its last
resting place in the new cemetery of Mount
Carmel.
The funeral cortsge was probably one of
the grandest and most imposing that ever
passed through the streets Of this city.

WOULD HAVE KILLED
SAM MoY ASKED POLICEMAN FOR
A GUN.
Assaulted Mong Gee, Who He Says,
Disturbed the Happiness Of
His Family.

What happened to Mong Gee will be told
in Judge Kimball's court as soon as Sam
Moy appears to answer a charge of assault.
Sam admits his guilt and claims the assault
was justifiable Mong Gee, Sam alleges,
disturbed his domestic happiness and for
this, he says, he used a piece of iron on
him.
IF had had gum he declared to Po-
liceman Walsh, I'D have killed him. Lend
me your gun and I'll shoot him now
The policeman had no idea of being a
party to such a crime, and he declined to
loan his revolver for any such purpose.
He accompanied the two celestials to the
Police Court, where Mong Gee swore out a
warrant against Sam Moy for the alleged
assault. Sam made application for a war
rant aaginst Mong Gee on more serious
charge. He was told to return tomorrow.
Mong Gee then went to the Casualty Hos
pital, where his numerous wounds were
dressed. The affair occurred at 317 Penn
sylvania avenue northwest where Sam
Moy and his Chinese wife conduct chop
suey' establishment, and where Mong Gee
was employed as cook and general man
aser
Sam Moy conducts a wholesale and retail
Chinese supply store on the south side of
Pennsylvania avenue between Sd and AZ
streets. He is reputed to be the wealthest
of the local Chinese merchants. Because
Of his business interests in the store he has
but little time to devote to the eating
place. where his wife and Mong Gee waited
upon customers and served Chinese dishes.
This morning Sam Moy went to market
to get supplies for the dining room, and
when he returned he alleges he found Mong
Gee and his wife in condition that might
be sufficient grounds for a divorce.
Policemen Sanders and Walsh were at
tracted to the place by cries of help and
"colice!
They escorted the two Cinnamon to the
Police Court, where the assault warrant
was issued.
Detective ODea found Sam Moy later at
the office of Attorney w. E. Ambrose and
placed him under arrest. Tomorrow the
case will be called before Judge KimbalI

MENTAL EXAMINATION
FIRE DEPARTMENT MEMBERS
WILL HAVE TO TAKE ONE.
Commissioner Macfarland Believe
That Efficiency of Department
Will Be Enhanced.

Commissioner Henry B. F. Macfarland
who has personal supervision of the fire
department of the District of Columbia an
nounced today that after two years careful
study of the department he believes that it's
efficiency will be increased by requiring a
mental, as we'll as physical, examinat ton of
applicants for appointment, and will pro-
pose to the Commissioners that the civil
service commission be requested to conduct
an educational examination for the fire de-
partment, as it now does for the police de-
partmcnt
This mental examination of applicants for
the fire department would be of an entirely
practical character and limited to the range
Of duties sought by the applicants, as in the
police department. 1t would require the ap-
plicants to be equipped with a knowledge
of the rudiments of an English educatio in
effect, an acquaintance with 1.-The three Rs"
and in addition, acquaintance with the
rules and regulations of the fire department
Hitherto Mr.. Macfarland says, 1.-The
only examination required of applicants for
the fire department has been that Of the
board OF surgeons, and, while the avera ge
intelligence of appointees has been high, the
education of number of them has not
been such as to make them entirely COM
petent to perform their duties in the way
OF writing reports and mastering rules and
oroers in print or in writing.
Increased Responsibility.
las all privates in the department are
eligible for promotion to the higher places,
where there Is not only increased RESPONSE
bidty. but increased necessity for good
educational qualifications, and NAV also act
temporarily in such places, 1t is important
to have them well equipped when they
enter the department Applicants, after
passing a physical examination, will be
sent to the mental examination, and those
who pass will be placed on the eligible list
for appointment.
This eligible list will be, like that now
kept for the fire department, strictly ad-
hered to by the Commissioners, who will
make appointments. as now, from the top
of the list In the order Of passing the ex-
animation. except in the case Of men who
have served in the fire department or in
the army and navy and who have the adj
vantage Of discipline experience, or
both.
Candidates cannot remain on the elisi-
BILE list more than six months without
again passing a physical examination. so
that those whose names are now on the
list will have to take the mental examina-
ton also at the end of the six months
period"
