No CHANGE in SITUATION.
Freight Handlers Strike Seriously At.
fects Chicago Shippers.

Chicago, July 9.-The freight hand
1ers' strike, which called out 5000
men and seriously curtailed the hand
ling of freight, appears no nearer set
tlement. Chairman Job of the state
board of arbitration, when asked If he
had received an answer from the rail-
roads or men to his offer of arbitra-
tion, answered in the negative.
At all the freighthouses pickets en-
deavored to persuade new comers from
taking jobs and sought to lure men
away already at work. In the yards of
the Illinois Central new men were at
work on perishable freight. They
spent the night in sleeping cars
brought for the purpose and ate break
fast in dining cars, mostly Of the pat
tern used on construction trains.
A man familiar with the present
trouble and experienced in strikes
said:
4 IF the teamsters come to the aid Of
the freight handlers they will win; if
not the chances. are that they will lose.
It is too easy for the railroads to bring
in new men"
This statement is full of meaning in
connection with the statement of Of.
ficials of the teamsters' union, who
have said that the freight handlers pro-
ceeded to strike without the sanction
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
and that, therefore, they would be al
lowed to fight out their own salvation.
The jobbing interests of the city are
seriously tied up in their shipping de-
partments. Heavily laden trucks,
which left the freight yards Monday,
are in many instances still waiting to
be unloaded. The roads so far have
had but little chance of handling any
thing save perishable freight.

KING EDWARDS AlLMENT.

His Physician, Sir Frederick Treves,
Wrote Interestingly of It,. ~
What physicians regard as one Of
the most exhaustive essays written on
the subject of perityphlitis is that of
Sir Frederick Treves, published in
Thomas Clifford Alibutt's System of
Medicine" Every phase Of the NAL
ady is treated in that essay, and many
Of the typical cases cited bear remark
able similarity to that Of King Ed
ward, says the Detroit Free Press.
The following are some extracts from
that essay Of interest to laymen:
Perityphlitis represents the very
commonest variety of peritonitis, and
the remarkable frequency Of infam-
nation in this position is due to the
fact that the appendix is one Of the
weakest points within the abdomen.
Perityphlitis may be met in patients
of all ages. Cases have been recorded
in children respectively seven and thir
teen months Of age. On the other
hand, the disease has been met with
in patients of advanced age. The great
proportion of cases occur in young
adults, and the period Of greatest fire.
Quency is between ten and twenty.

NEWSBOYS TO HAVE A PAPER

President Roosevelt One Of the Con-
tributors.
Newsboys of Pittsburg will have a
chance to become capitalists, says the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch. There are
plans on foot to give them an interest
in newspaper and bank. Mrs. Clara
U. Frazer is the promoter Of the novel
scheme, and business men are interest
ed. The boys are to have magazine
that Is to be their own organ, and they
will do their own playing. Mrs. Frazer
will edit the magazine. President
Roosevelt is contributor. He has
written letter to "Our Boys" which
is to be the name Of the new magazine,
full Of g6cd, kindly sense. Briefly the
plan is as follows:
The magazine will sell for 10 cents
copy. The boys who sell it pay 6 cents
a copy. This means 4 cents copy
profit for the boy. The boy who sells
twenty-five copies has dollar banked
for him in addition to the dollar he has
earned on the street. This means that
what he actually pays for the maya
zine is 2 cents, and of the remaining
8 cents four he receives at once and
four he banks. The money is. banked
for the boys in their own name, but in
care Of committee composed Of men
high up in the financial and social
world. OF the money banked the boys
cannot get cent until they have
reached the age Of twenty-one. There
will be fat little bank account wait
ing for the boy who hustles while he
waits.
The magazine published recently an
edition of 10000 copies.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 9.-The Asso-

the National Civic Federation which
tried so hard to prevent the anthracite
coal miners strike has not exhausted
all its means in an effort to bring
Deace in the anthracite coal fields.
4he investigation which was started
picks is still in progress and it is un-
derstood that the federal government,
through the department of labor, is
assisting in this work.
A few weeks ago Walter e. Weyl,
representative of the department of
labor at Washington, and Professor
John R. Commons of the Civic Fedora
tion made tour of the anthracite coal
regions in quest of information. They
paid particular attention to the ques-
tions of the cost Of labor for mining
coal, the selling price OF coal and also
as to whether the increase of wages
Of the mine workers has kept pace
with the increased price of the neces-
sites of life. These men interviewed
all persons who are familiar with con.
ditions in the coal region. Their work
was done quietly. While in Wilkes.
barre Professor Commons had a long
conference with President Mitchell,
during which he was shown copy of
Mr.. Mitchell's statement replying to
the letter of the coal operators.
Mr.. Weyl, who is statistician in the
department of labor, contributed to
the report made by Commissioner Car

stands is historic ground. From every
ravine, from every rock, from each OF
the great trees comes inspiration and
patriotism. There stood Fort Put
nam, military post of great impor-
tance during revolutionary times, and
especially memorable because of it's
connection with the treason of Arnold.
Fort Constitution, another of the ia
nous fortresses of revolutionary
times, stood just across the river from
it, near it was stretched the great
chain intended to obstruct the passage
of the Hudson river for British boats,
and with it are associated such inspir-
ing names in American history as Gen.
| Putnam, Gen. Clinton and that gallant
Pole, Kosciusko.
Nothing of luxury and magnificence
of appointment, save the magnifcence
given the site by nature and the mag
nificence of inspiration and patriot
ism, have every been known at the
academy. 1t was builded as training
place for soldiers, and is in keeping
with the simple life of the soldier.
Cadet Levy, of Maryland, and Swift,
yates. had much the same accommo-
dations as has the cadet of to-day.
They slept in springless hunks, upon
hard straw mattresses; their rooms
were furnished in the simplest pos
sible manner; they ate the plainest of
food; they were their own servants.
The hunks of their day have given
place to springless cots, but they have
still the same plain pine tables, the
same hard mattresses, the same plain
food, and are their own servants.
About the only change is that gas has
taken the place of the old-time candle,
and a steam engine now pumps water
into reservoir, from which it is piped
to faucets in the arena of the barracks,
but not to the cadets rooms. Nor do
the army officers favor any radical
change in this line. They see a de-
cided advantage in the simple life with
its strict discipline in preparing the
cadet for his place in the army; they
believe it is conducive to the best i'm
terests of the service for which they
are being prepared.
With an increased army it is possible
that the maximum of cadets will be
increased to meet the new demand.
To accommodate these new buildings
will be needed, and some modern inn
provements may be feature of these
new structures, but in a general way
the cadets of the future will lead the
same simple lives that have marked
life at tie academy in the past.

VFn1za1lA OR 100 years has the mill
tary academy at West
TzF 7ggSq Point been giving to our
ssN Nv army the finest body of
e. trained military officers
AA the world has known with
in that time. Within that 100 years
many young men have received diplom-
as emitting them to second lieuten-
ants commission in the regular mil
itary forces Of the country who were
destined, in later years, to win world
fame as the commanders of armies in
some of the hardest fought campaigns
of the century.
It was on March I6, 1902. that the
academy was established, and going
down through the wars in which we
have engaged since then we find many
names OF one time cadets enscrlbed
upon the country's roll of honor for
distinguished services in each of them.
While it has been the policy Of the re-
public to maintain but comparative
ly small regular army. and to fight its
battles largely with a volunteer force
in which volunteer officers have gained
distinction, yet it has been the west
Point graduates back Of these volun-
teer forces who have made success pos
sible by the attention to details.
American volunteer wit, genius and
bravery may be successfully Pitted
against the best armies of the world,
but back Of this there must be foun-
dation for organization, for equipping,
for discipline, for transporting, for
housing, for feeding; a foundation
that cannot be acquired in a days time
when the need for it calls, and this
foundation the West Pointer has fur
nished Without it the volunteers
bravery would have failed.
The academy graduate has left his
alma mater not only with trained
ability to attend to the details Of the

country's military service, but with
many, many times the ability to com
mand armies successfully. Many of
them have been called upon to do such
service, and to-day have their names
written indelibly upon their country's
history, but many others have been
forced by circumstances to step back
ward, to pocket their ambition and at
tend to the details while political APP
pointees in the volunteer service have
won the fame which the West Point
er's attention to detail has made pos
sible.
To go back to the history of this in
stitution for the making of soldiers
we find the government purchased the
ground upon which the academy
stands Of Stephen Moore in Septem-
Der, 1890. The first purchase was aug
mented by an additional purchase in
1924, and two years later, in 1926, the
state of New York coded its jurisdic-
ton over the 160 acre tract of land
owned by the government. The first
intention of the government in max
ing the purchase was to construct here
a military fort of first Importance, and
for this purpose an appropriation of
$4,000 was made. This was expended
by 1894, but was sufficient to but par
TALLY complete the works, and fur
Their appropriation of $4,000 was
asked. This congress refused to give
and the work that had been done was
allowed to go to ruin.
The first steps looking to the estab-
lishment of a military academy were
taken even before the first tract of
land was purchased in 1890. AS early
rs 1888 Col Pickering recommended
that such an academy be erected, and
this recommendation was seconded at
several times by Washington. Con-
oress. however. refused to take any
action along this line further than au-
thorizing the attachment of few
cadets to each engineer and artillery
battalion, and in 179S provided teach
ers for their instruction.
The act of March 16. 1902, which pro-
vided for the establishment of the
academy provided also for 40 cadets
for the artillery and ten for the en-
cineer battalions of the army. and
made no provision for either the cav
airy or infantry branches. The first
instruction given related only to the
technical details of these branches of
the service without, in any way. going
into the foundation studies of the sol
diers' profession. 1t was in 1908 that
the introduction of French and draw
ing was authorized and teachers en-
pIoyed for these branches
