extracts from Lieut.. Gen. Miles report ia

"Of course, those people had to be req

and to which Gen. Miles refers, that am
going to talk. The rice was purchased
after a consultation 1 had with Gen. Bel.
Gen Bell assured me that the money re.
oufred to procure the food would certainly
be returned to the insular treasury, ana
it was.
Concerning the profits, We charged q
profit of % cents on every 1873 pounds. This
was on the actual purchasing price, not the
added cost of transportation, 60, that ex>

me add another thing, that % cents profit
did not go into the insuler Golfers. Instead,
it was levied for the purpose, and so used,
of purchasing rice for the poverty-strfckeu
and destitute not in the concentrate
camps.
THE point of the whole thing appears to
be that / used government funds to pur-
chase this rice. That was an unusual pro-
cedure but it was made necessary by an
unusual situation. When the concentratlOn

in command by Gen. Davis, there We're

government for funds to purchase the food
for them. This was done to save the peo-

by the dealers.

fectly willing to let them take my neck IL
they want to. If anybody wants to mako
any trouble because 1 took care OF thou-

he can do it.
LAS for the other cases referred to by
Gen. Miles, I do not know much aboVS
them. for I was not in command at the

Cavalry, that happened before my time,

WOULD WRECK THE RAILROADS.
Opinion Of Vice President Cox Regard
ing Recent Decision.

From the New York Herald.
"All the railroads I'm the United States
would be driven into bankruptcy If the rec
concentrations Of the interstate commerce
commission, made In its report condemn
ing the existing grain rates between Chi
cago and New York, were followed" was
the comment made yesterday by Charles
F. Cox. vice president of the Big Four and
the Nickel Plate railroads, when asked for
his opinion Of the commissions decision.
when they tell us not to make our i'm
provements and betterments out of earn
ings," said Mr.. Cox, they show that they
are ignorant of the history of railroads.
England has had some experience along the
lines suggested by the commission, and
what does her experience show? Boundless
capitalization and funded debts so enor-
nous that the railroad men and financiers
of Great Britain are in panic nearly, and
know not where to turn their heads for re-
lief. They have sent half dozen delega-
tons to this country within the last twelve
months to see whether they could not solve
their riddle on this side of the Atlantic.
"'Why don't you adopt our method of
making improvements out of earningsp
asked delegation a few days ago.
To do that we should be compelled to
pass our dividends was the reply. and SO
they will probably go on heaping up debt
until in some period Of depression they will
be dragged into bankruptcy.
How does that kind of financing affect the
public? In England passenger rates are
double ours and freight rates are nearly four
times as much. This the public must pay
in order that interest on bonds may be
met and dividends on stock. paid.
Capitalization per mile of road in Eng
land is believe, about 100000. In this
country it is between $4,000 and $4,000.
The difference Is due to the fact that in
America a large proportion of railroad i'm
provement is done in periods Of prosperity
with money derived from earnings, while
improvements in England represent new
money put into the property and new debts
incurred
Traffc managers have taken no official
action upon the demand of the commission
that rates be reduced, but individually they
say that the question will be fought out in
the courts If the commission persists In its
determination to reduce grain tariff.

RED CROSS SOCIETY
Meeting Of Suspended Mem
bers Held Yesterday.
REPLY TO MR.. PHILLIPS
DENIAL OF HIS POWER TO sUs-
PEND THEM.
Statement to the Public Setting Forth
Their Exact Position in
the Matter.
REPLY TO MR.. PHILLIPS

The twenty-three suspended members Oh

ing at the home of Miss Mabel Boardman'

pared by subcommittee in reply to the

it's publication as a statement of their posi-

Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster and Mr.. Hilary "A.
Herbert to the membership of a committee

members are MI Simon Wolf. Miss Mabel
Boardman and MI b. H. Warner, into the
hands of which was intrusted the work OF
preparing a full statement of the business
methods of the society since the granting
of a charter by ConGI ess. The appointment
of the original three members OF this COM
mittee antedates the suspension of the
twenty three members by several months,
and 1t is probable that Its work Will not
be finished for several months. The most
important feature of the meeting yester-
day was. of course, the signing of the letter
to Mr. Phillips and the authorization OF the
publication of this letter as a pubic state
ment of the exact status of those suspend
ed and what they think of their suspension.
The statement speaks for itself:
Mr. Walter p. Phillips.
Sir: The undersigned members OF the
American National Red Cross, in answer to
your notification of their suspension, deny
your legal power or authority to suspend
them. Yours respectfully,

President Loubet arrived here today from
Bona, Algeria. He was received by the
hey, and was given tremendous popular
ovation. The city was deliberately decorated
with triumphal arches and the flags of
France and Tunis. The crowds which filed
the streets were a strange medley of
French, Mussulmans and Jews. The ar
rival Of the cruiser Jeanne dare, bearing
the president, was the signal for a salute
from the Tunisian feet, and the hey, ac-
companied by a gorgeous retinue, embarked
on launch decorated with oriental gran
deur and went to meet the president. NJ.
Loubet received the hey on the deck of
the Jeanne dare, and was warmly well
coined by the Tunisian official. Then they
proceeded ashore, the president being en-
Enthusiastically acclaimed. An official ex-
change of calls between the president and
the hey took place later, and the president
afterward entertained the hey at dinner
During the afternoon there was a grand
military review Of thousands Of native
troops. This was followed by a banquet
and a grand ball.
President Loubet, in his addresses, re-
ferred to the close ties existing between
France and Tunis, and the hey responded
with expressions OF the devotion of Tunis
to France.

with him did not change their minds after
sending out these letters and procuring
their proxies.
The Atwater letter misled as we know,
members who did not attend. but would
have attended If they had understood the
situation Would it not have been fair,
after the radical changes had been sug-
gested. to undeceive these members by CIV
ing them full information? Again, after
obtaining proxies for one purpose ought
not notification have been sent to the
givers that 1t was intended to use them
for another?
What we know was done Is this: Tho
| whole system of new bylaws was rushed
through without giving those present not
previously informed, any knowledge of or
opportunity to know their meaning. One
| bylaw proposed to be substituted for an
| other might have been understood, but
whole system consisting of page after page
was offered A motion of Mr.. John ".
| Foster to print and lay over till another
annual meeting was resisted. This motion
| failed by a vote OF IL Tor TO II against,
| indicating that Of those present there were
| some at least of them who afterward voted
| for these bylaws who desired more light
Not even typewriter copies were fur
nished nor was there any suggestion of
willingness to have the proposed bylaws
| lie over till next day. Or&even for an hour
| that they might be examined. No debate
on the merits of the new bylaws was per-
| mitted, because only those who had been
| taken into confidence understood the scope
| and extent of the radical changes pro-
posed. Even those or US who attended the
meeting were left In the dark also as to
the names or number. of those elected at
the meeting. Neither the secretary of the
society nor the stenographer could after
ward inform u.s. Repeated applications
were made to those claiming to be in au-
| thority, but in vain. We never obtained
this knowledge until, more than four months
after the meeting, when second letter
from the Secretary Of State, who. by the
| charter is entitled to know brought forth
| the names of old members, 1O2, and new
| members 1873. This list does not include
those who signed the memorial advising

Increase Of Membership.
| Why, at this December meeting, when
practically ell power was taken from the
membership and vested in the president
and an executive committee appointed by
her, there should be any reason for in
creasing that membership from 1913 to 8l2,
1t is not easy to see; especially as all the
members. new and old added together,
could not change one Of the bylaws, unless
the executive committee should have given
notice in the call of the annual meeting
that changes were to be allowed AS. how
