THE DOORS WERE CLOSED
ON THE OPPOSITION TO
GEN. WOOD.
Committee Decided That Meetings
Should Not Be Open to
the Public.

The inquiry of the Senate committee on
military affairs into the opposition 10 the
confirmation of the nomination of Gen
Leonard Wood to be major general N the
army was begun today, and the hearing,
so far as 1t has gone, was behind closed
doors An informal announcement to the
effect that the inquiry would be public had
been made, and a large number of news
paper men had gathered in the committee
room when the committee was called to
order. They were, however, Immediately
asked to retire, and the committee went
into executive session. " -
Before closing the doors there were ex-
changes of opinion concerning the pro-
priety of making the proceedings public.
The point was raised by Senator Quarles,
and several other members of the commit
tee sustained him, all of them taking the
position that as the business was execu-
tive in character the committee had no
right to make it public without first OBJ
tanning order from the Senate.
Senator Scott made plea for open ses-
sions during the hearing. basing his con-
tention on the ground of the general pub
lie interest "It will all be in the evening
papers, anyway he said, land 1 think it
better to have an authorized report than
try to hide the proceedings"
Other senators replied that they bad no
objection to publicity, but contended that
the committee could not itself assume au-
thority to open the doors to the press.
When the doors were closed the commit
tee decided to proceed today in executive
session.
In addition to the members of the COM
mittee and the newspaper men. Senators
Teller and Hanna and Maj Estes G. Rath-
bone were present, the three last named
being prepared to present objections to
General Woods confirmation. 1t was stat
ed that no charges had yet been filed
against the general, but Senator Proctor,
who presided, said that he understood
Major Rathbone would present such
charges.
1t was finally determined that the ses-
sions of the committee should not be pub
lie. The objections made in the committee
today were sufficient to show the DISPOSE
ton Of senators this matter.
At the session of the committee Senator
Teller said he objected to General Wood
because of the injustice that was being
done to the army by his promotion.
Senator Hanna said that the action of
Gen. Wood in the Rathbone case was of
character to show his unfitness for high
command. Both statements were very gen.
eral in terms

DR.. J. F. Ensor, postmaster Of Columbia.
s. c., late superintendent and physician in
charge Of state insane asylum at Columbia,
S. c.. writes:
AFTER using your Peruna myself for
short period, and my family having
used and are now using the same with
good results, and upon the information
Of others who rave been benefited by
Il Al a cure for catarrh and an invigor-
atlng tonic, ] al c~heerfully recommend

remedy."---Dr. J. r. EnSor.
Hon. c. W. Butts, eX-member OF congress-
from North Dakota, in a letter from WASH
ington, d. c., says:
That Peruna is not only a vigorous, as
well as an effective tonic. but also a cure
of catarrh is beyond controversy. II is
already established by its use by the thou
sands who have been benefited by It. 1
cannot too highly express my apprecia-
ton of its excellence. C. w Butts.
DR.. r. Robbins. Muskogee. i. T, writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine 1 know Of
for coughs and to strengthen a weak stom-
ach and to give appetite. Beside prescrib-
ing IL for catarrh / have ordered IL for
weak and debilitated people and have not
had a patient but said IT helped him. 1t
is an excellent medicine and Il fits so
many cases.
Il have a large practice and have a
chance to prescribe your Peruna. l hope
you may live long to do good to the sick
and suffering"
Only the weak need a tonic. People are
never weak except from some good cause.
One of the obscure causes OF weakness and
the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
! Catarrh inhames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma TO escape
through the mucous membrane in the form
of mucus. This discharge Of mucus is the
same as the loss of blood. 1t produces
weakness.
