tify at Instance of Secretary Root.

THY at Instance OF Secretary Root.
Lieutenant General Schofeld and Major
General Merritt, both OF whom are on
the retired list, will appear today at 2
O'Clock before the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs in support of the bill to
increase the efficiency of the army, which
was prepared by Secretary Root, and is
opposed by General Miles.
The arrangements to have the commit
tee hear these two officers was made by
Secretary Root. The purpose. it is said,
is TO attempt to destroy the force of Gen
eral Miles arguments against the bill.
Lieutenant General Miles recently gave
the committee his views on this bill. and
in the course of his remarks, as reported,
severely criticised the Secretary of War
and inierentially the President.
Both Schofield and Merritt, like Miles,
commanded troops in the civil war. and
the former preceded General Miles as
commanding general OF the army. 1t was
largely on their views that Secretary Root
Recommended the radical changes embod

gested-Tompkins Retains Seat.

Chairman Weeks, of the House Com
mittee ON Elections No. 3, yesterday sub
mitted a report in the contested election
case of James A. Walker. Republican. VS..
William f. Rhea, Democrat. from the
Ninth Virginia district, declaring the lat
ter to be entitled to his seat Since the
contest was begun Mr.. Walker, the con-
testant. died.
Having arrived at the conclusion that
contestee should retain his seat" the re-
port says. the committee does not wish
to return this report without expressing
It's disapproval OF the law, which makes
cheating and corruption possible even
easy, and invites and facilitates fraud at
the polls.
Successful in Inviting Fraud.
Continuing it says:
"A more thorough analysis of this law
would disclose more clearly its many in
cqualities and its variety of opportunities
for schemes and corrupt practices. If the
intention of its trainers was to invite
fraud and conceal it, il is successful ac-
complishmcnt OF that purpose. If the
electoral board and election officers exer-
else as much partisanship and unfairness
in its execution as did the General Assem-
bly, in its enactment the right of suffrage
in Virginia can be but little more than an
empty name"
After making a number of suggestions
for the Improvement of the Virginia cleo
tion law, the report says:
This committee earnestly hopes that
the Constitutional Convention and the
General Assembly of that old Common
wealth. both of which are now in session.
Will adopt a constitution and an election
code which will insure such a fair and
free vote and such an open and honest
count that in future no man will presume
TO question the validity of the certificate"
