The United Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters and Joiners will try to have law
passed in Congress prohibiting the
War Department from using the en-
listed soldier in the construction of its
buildings.
Some time ago this body appealed to
the Secretary OF War to withdraw
these soldiers and give the employment
to the regular mechanics of the Car
penters' UniCn. The appeal was met
with a rebuff from the War Depart
ment, which said it would continue to
use the soldier to aid in the construc-
tion of buildings on Government res
ervations.
The Carpenters Union has forwarded
the following communication TO Repre-
sentative Livernash at Washington:

diers in the construction of Government build
ings Of whatever kind and character, especially
the erection Of buildings. cantonments on Gov
ernnlent reservations and encam9ments. and
more especially the erection OF buildings at
ernment on the Pacific Coast. where they de-
tach men from the ranks Of enlisted men ana
assign them 10 do mechanical work. thereby
bringing them in direct competition TO the
civilian mechanic.
In order that you may be made fully con-
versant with the matter it will be necessary
10 20 back and name a case that the Brother
hood Of Carpenters brought 10 the attention d
the War Department in the year 1907
At that time the Government by an act OF
Congress or by the setting aside OF a certain
sum OF SO eco proceeded TO erect certain can
tonments on the Preside Reservation al san

The commander of the Pacific Coast General

A. l.. New, vice-president and gen.
eral manager of the Pacific Wireless
Telegraph Company, accompanied by
his son, was here last Friday to make
the company's station here. They
came over on the revenue cutter Grant
as the guests of Capt Tozier, who, Gen.
New says, has been largely instrument
al in securing the location of the sta
tiQn here instead of at Roche Harbor,
where it was first planned to establish
it. At meeting of business men and
others at the San Juan Club rooms
Friday evening Gen. New gave little
talk on the subject of wireless telegra-
phy and briefly outlined the plans of
the company, explaining why it was
desired to make the station here one of
the most powerful, IN point OF equip
ment, on the coast. The induction
coil, which is already here, is the
largest ever made on the coast and is
said to be the largest in use in any
wireless telegraph station on the conti-
nent with one exception, that being in
the Marconi transatlantic station at
st. Johns, Newfoundland. Power will
he supplied by II ten-horse power gaso-
line engine and there will be large
storage battery which will store enough
electricity for the dynamo for several
days. The engines IN use in the Port
Townsend and Fort Casey stations are
only two-horse power. The mast is to
be 200 feet high, or thirty-three feet
higher than the one at Port Townsend.
Gen. New says that ii is the intention
Of the company TO make this a "relay
station" fer Alaska business, The trans
mission of messages long distances be-
ing dependent chiefly upon power.
Stations are TO be established at the
most important points along the Alas
kan coast and Aleutian islands and
there is to be one at Cape Flattery and
one in Seattle. Gen. New says that
should the promoters Of the telephone
cable project fail to establish connec-
ton with Whatcom he will gladly
establish station there if reasonable
assurances of support are given, and he
will also put a station OH Orcas island
if sufficient amount Of business is as
sured to justify the outlay.
A fine site for tie station here has
been selected, on high ground, fronting
the harhor and convenient to all local
places of business.

Referring to the rate on live stock
between the Bsllingham bay cities and
island points Mr.. Newball, owner Of
the steamer Buckeye, says that the
rate on cows has never been more than
81 a head nor more than $3.50 on
horses. General freight rates are Sl.5O
per ton and a minimum charge of %
cents is made on all shipments up to-
300 pounds. In a communication in
the Fairhaven Herald, published in re-
ply to the article OF Mr.. Rice relative to-
the steamboat service, Mfr. Newhall
says "These rates are as low as on any
route on Puget Sound. L have the
schedule of rates of six transportation
companies doing ausiness outside or
San Juan county which support the
statement" The rate on apples from
Orcas island points to Whatcom Ia &
cents box and 7! cents to Seattle.

TIE RECORD Of WOOD
Investigating arave Charg
Made Against That
Officer.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 21.-The Senate Mi
itary Committee today continued it, in
vestigation Of the charges made against
General Leonard Wood.
It IS believed that in the event of a de
cision by the committee favorable to Gen
eral Wood the fight will be transferred to
the floor of the Senate. In fact notice OF
this has been given to a member of the
committee by one of the Senator who
joined in the protest against General
Woods confirmation to be a Brigadier
General.
Ernest L.. Conant, a Havana lawyer, in
connection with the alleged acceptance OF
presents from the Jai AIai by General and
Mrs. Wood, told of a telegram which was
sent from Havana to New York while the
granting OF a concession to the establish
ment was pending. The story Of the tele
gram was told to Mr.. Conant by G. Law
ton Childs, a shareholder in the Jai Alai.
He said that Pedro Galbiz. secretary Of the
establishment, yer to New York to pur
chase a silver dinner set for General Wood
and while notice of the granting of the
concession was printed in the official Ca
zette at Havana, the concession was
granted, a telegram sent Galbis, and ac-
cording to MI. Conant, the purchase made
at a cost of $500. After considerable
discussion the committee ruled this test
mony out of order. Galbis is dead but it
IS said the telegram can be produced and
will be offered in the Senate.
At the morning session Herbert j.
Browne. a newspaper man, told the com
mittee that he had obtained the affdavits
made by the shareholders of the Jai Alai
Company, which had been filed by Major
Rathbone. In the affdavits the share
holders declared their stock had been as
sessed for the purpose of paving the cost
gambling establishments 70 General and
Hrs. Wood.
Mr.. Browne was questioned also in re-
gard to the charge that General Woo
knew the character of the al Alai, when
he argued in favor Of granting it a conres-
sion TO operate. When reference to this
charge was made by Mr.. Browne, he va
asked by Senator Cockrell to substantial
his assertion He did so by directing AZ
tention TO official publications in HaVara
newspapers. showing the nature Of the j..
Alai's establishment.
Secretary Root in response TO a reque
from the military committee. has sent
port upon the military record # Gene~at
Wood. 1t is a strong commentator a-
that officer. Secretary Root dos not NAB
any leference OF reply to the charges tn,
have been made aga nst General Wood as
military governor of Cuba.
