NAMED THE BEST MAN.
Many Persons Think Roosevelt Ignored
 Politics In Appointment.

Montgomery October s.-fSpeciall A story goes here that Mir. Roosevelt would have appointed Judge Roulhac district attorney in the first instance but for the interpretation put upon the appointment of Judge Jones by the southern newspa- pers. He did not want to appoint Vaughan. He especially felicitated him self in having risen above all partisan considerations in the selection of fed erai judge, taking the position that the judiciary should be above politics, and he felt that the people here would credit him with high motives
 There was a flood of gossip to the eff feet that he had begun the building up of a respectable party fin the south, and when 1t was announced that Roulhac was being favorably considered for the at torneyship all doubt about his political nurposes was removed. It was partly his resentment at this which enabled the strong sympathy plea put forward for Vaughan to pFevail at the time. At this iuncture the appointment of Roulhac Is rather a rebuke than otherwise to the purely political movement toward a new party. There is general disposition now to credit the President with desire to shake politics altogether in the ap- pointments and simply give the people good officer.

UNDERTAKERS IN
 GANG OF GHOULS
BREAK GLASS IN COFFIN TO MAKE IT APPEAR THAT BODY HAD BEEN sToLEN-lT HAD NEVER BEEN PLACED THERE.

Indianapolis October 9. = Rufus Cam treli member of the grave robbers' gang under arrest in this city, was again taken to the Mount Jackson cemetery to- day. He said he could show that there were collins buried in the place without bodies. One of the graves was opened. Before reaching the coffin Cantrell said:
 Now, you will find the glass broken. It Is trick of the undertaken to make 1t appear that the body was stolen from the grave"
 cantrell opened the box and disclosed the coffin. It was empty and the glass was broken. The coffin was a cheap af- fair and the opening where the glass had been was not more than eighteen inches wide. The lid was securely fastened.
 You see," said Cantrell, that body could not have been pulled out of this box without removing the lid. The man supposed to be buried here was Dorie Snowden, and he weighed more than l do. The family paid for a good coffin. This one Is a $6 pauper box"
 A dispatch from Alexandria, Ind, says the authorities have information that will appall the people about Alexandria, Paramount and Summitville, and leaves no room to doubt the ghours statement that many bodies in those sections have been stolen.
 White ghouls," the dispatch says, 'in close touch with the negroes are respon- sible .or the gas belt depredations and carted the bodies off by daylight through the county in old barrels covered with junk"

Arguments for vegetarlanism.

From the Detroit Tribune.
 Vegetarianism has been re-enforced by a fresh supply of testimony from Ger many and Japan In recent walking match from Dresden to Berlin, a distance of over 124 miles, the first six to arrive were all vegetarians. the winners cover ing the entire distance in less than twen- ty-seven hours, certainly very extra ordinary performance. An eminent Eu- ropean physician says that the soldiers of Japan, who are entirely vegetarian, have far more endurance than European troops and that this was abundantly ev- laenced during the recent military oper- ations in China. The diet of the Japan ese soldier is entirely composed of bar ley, rice and beans On one occasion he knew company of men to trot dis tance of twenty-five miles daily in the heat of the sun and bearing a load of 16 pounds. After the expiration of four teen days one of the men had gained a pound in weight. He then supplied them with little meat, which they rejected after three days trial.

A GENERAL wHlTEwAsH.
English Report of Inquiry on Wastase
 of Horses Exonerates All.

London, October 9.-The report of the court of inquiry which investigated the charges brought against the remount es- tablishment of the British army, was published in blue book today. With the exception of a couple of minor cases, the report not only whitewashes all con- cerned, so far as the alleged irregulari- ties are concerned, but finds that the un- precedented demands on the remount es- tablishment were met with success. The commissioners point out that the vast age of horses in South Africa reached the enormous rate of 120 per cent. They ex- press satisfaction at the arrangement made for the iconveyances of horses and their accommodation at the various ports of shipment, with the exception of New Orleans in the earlier stages of the war and Gibraltar. Attention is drawn to the excellent laws governing the transport of animals by rail in the United States and Argentina.
 The commissioners find that the system If purchase abroad met the requirements of the public service, but it would have teen less open to criticism if the remount osta blishment had cut loose from the fault of prevailing the many departments of the British service, namely the sns- pieions of its officers of the assistance of those outside their own department and had utilized the assistance tendered by the British military attaches at Wash ington and Vienna.
 Commenting on the report the Vest minister Gazette says:
 Tt will hereafter rank as British chassis, as a most subtle and beautiful description of the working of British institution and of the manner in which 1t is justified when exposed to criticism. According to the report the remount es- tablishment had only one drawback. It never contemplated the possibility Of the outbreak of war

 Discussed by Speakers.
SEVERAL "BlG" MEN SPOKE

Chicago. October e-Five hundred guests gathered in the Auditorium hotel tonight at banquet to celebrate the thlrty-first anniversary of Chicago's big fire. The chief speaker was Secretary of the Navy Moody. for whom the banquetters rose in a body and cheered enthusiastically.
 a4The Iowa Platform ana the Tariff'' was discussed by Governor A. B. Cum mins of Iowa Governor Cummins spoke directly to the Iowa Idea as embodied in the republican platform of that state, declaring for mo monopoly -sheltering tariff." He said in part:
 There has never and cannot now be a controversy with respect to the purpose and measures of protective duties. Their purpose Is to give the American pro- dueer fair chance to take the Ameri- can market at a fair American price so that the American laborer can work at American wages and American capital can be rewarded with an American profit and thus originate and develop those American industries aud enterprises that nature has fitted us to carry on.
 Tested by these eritertons. both as to R1% RSSS NAAN AAee-4AAN N1 Ap AAtcA-6NAs w server can doubt that upon some of the most important products of the United States the duties are too high; and it Is the mission of the republican party to reduce them SC that they will again be in harmony with the principle out o1 which they spring. Protection will stand as a shield for honest labor and a mine for lawful profits, but it shall not be used as sword for industrial piracy or as a mint for illegal gain.
 No thiuking man can doubt that large corporations are absolutely necessary to carry on. with civic and economy, the growing business of the world and how ever great a corporation becomes, if it develops in a national way. through the recognized laws of commerce and thI ough the energy and sagacity of it's against the competition of oth- CTS engaged in like business, 1t ought not to be the object of disfavor or condemna- ton. The corporations or combinations to which the Iowa platform refers are those which have been brought together, not to outstrip competition in a fair race, but to destroy competition by the ac- tual obligations of independent establish ments which accomplish their purpose either by purchase or piracy
