ARMY UNIF ORMS
TO Be CHANGED
War Department Makes
Report Of Board
Public.
recommendations Are Ap-
proved and Thus Become
Regulations.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-The War De
partment has made public the report OF
the uniform board, headed by General
Young and Of which Colonel Patten is the
recorder. setting forth in detail the
changes made in the army uniform. some
of which were seen for the first time at
the White House reception yesterday.
The first recommendation is that Of
fcers when on duty should be required
t. wear their uniform during office hours.
Other recommendations, all OF which
have been approved and which are conse-
quently now army regulations. provide
for the substitution of bronze sleeve orna-
ments for those Of embroidery and metal
for full dress Chaplains are to wear
black overcoats.
The embroidered gold oak leaves on Of
ficers' Yisors must come off, except on
ranks above that of major. The United
States coat-of-arms. in gold is to be
added to all shoulder knots of officers
above captain.
An important change is the abolition of
the chapeau, the service helmet and the
service cap for officers and the service
trousers for enlisted men. Provision is
made for a combination sash and belt
for brigadier generals. A significant rec
ommendation calls for a more detailed
description of the shoes to be worn by
officers. for it is rumored that the boards
labors were begun as a result Of the de-
lection of an officer, otherwise properly
uniformed, in full dress, wearing a pair
Of russet shoes. Hereafter chevrons are
TO be worn midway on the sleeves be-
tween the elbow and shoulders.
Other recommendations are that belts
and cartridge cases are to be worn out
sice tie overcoat; that marching shoes
shall be provided for the men and that
the bureau Of insular affairs shall have

If a person has neuralgia

an ailment that may spring
from a variety of sources.
Anamia or any depressed
state of the bodily functions
are frequent causes. The ex-
haustion resulting from rheu-
matism also makes it easy for
neuralgia to get a foothold.
Any exposure to cold or
dampness quickly causes an
attack of the painful ailment
and In some cases it will hang
on almost continually during
the winter months.
The medical world. has for
years recognized cod liver oil
as being of great value in
fortifying the body against
neuralgia and against all con-
ditions of bodily depression.

in giving new Life to the worn
out nerve centers and building
up the weakened tissues
which are responsible for the
ailment.
In SCOTS Emulsion the
pure cod liver oil is combined
with hypophosphites Of lime
and soda, the latter contribute

INJURED, MAN IN CHARGE OF
TRAIN, ATTENDING PHYSI-
CLAN AND WRECK SCENE.

press Messenger Robert Norman was i'll
his car at the time. The car was badly
wrecked and he was hurled from one end
TO the other and yet was scarcely bruised.
AS for the passengers none were in
jured save Mary E. Black, who, in alight-
ing from coach after the wrecked train
had come to a stop, sprained her ankle
in stepping to the ground.
The train left Livermore at $50 o clock
in the morning and was carrying back
to San Francisco a large number Of peo-
pie who had gone to the various Liver
more Valley towns to spend the New
Year season with their relatives This
was the case with Mary e. Black, who
is the daughter-in-law of the late Joseph
Black, one of the pioneer residents of
the Livermore Valley and whose family
still resides in that section. 1t was short
" before O'Clock and the train was
bowling along at a good rate into the
entrance of the Niles Canyon when the
accident happened.
AID HURRIED TO SCENE.
Word was carried back to Pleasanton
and an appeal for help sent to tie Oak
land pier owing to the frequency OF
wrecks of late the story rapidly spread
that there were many Injured. The peo-
pie of PIeasanton were prompt to render
assistance DR. w. A. Hershiser of that
place went at once to the scene of the
wreck on a handcar. Fortunately his SER
vices were but slightly needed and when
q speciaI train arrived from Oakland with
wreckers and medical aid there was moth
ing left for them to do.
Wrecking cars were sent both from
Tracy and Oakland. A special train was
made up at the western end of the wreck
and the passengers brought to Oakland
about an hour late. Engineer Saulpaugh
was taken directly to the Railroad Hos
pital in San Francisco.
The clearing of the wreck was a matter
of great interest, for toward evening
many trains in each direction have to
find their way over this track to and
from Livermore, Tracy and Stockton 1t

REMARKABLE ESCAPES.

The escapes of Engineer Saulpaugh.
Fireman Swanson and Express Messenger
Robert Norman were little short of mirac-
ulous. Engineer Saulpaugh was at the
throttle when the wreck occurred and II
all happened so quickly that when the
engine toppled over he was still found a
his post. In that moment the walls and
roof of the cab in which Saulpaugh stood
were swept away and yet the only in
jury that he sustained was a broken
great toe. How Saulpaugh escaped death
when the cab was carried away and
broken to pieces will have to go down
as one of the mysterious features of rail
road wrecks Fireman Swanson had an
equally narrow escape He was hurled
through the front of the cab and was
found after the wreck on top of the b. iIer.
He was but very slightly burned. Ex-

was bad wreck to clear away, for all
of the cars and the engine were in such
a position as to block the track No at
tempt was made to get the engine, tender
or baggage car on the rails. They were
simply hauled to one side. The passenger
coaches were soon got out of the way,
and shortly after 4 o'clock the Stockton
passenger train got by, little more than
an hour late. 1t will take several days to

" ermore local train was wrecked
~ this morning about a mile west
of Pleasanton. 1t is most re-
markable that the only injuries sustained
by any of the train crew or the passen-
gers was a broken toe by Engineer e. r.
Saulpaugh and a sprained ankle suffered
by Mary E. Black, the matron of the City
and County Hospital of this city, who
jumped from the steps of a passenger
coach after the wreck was all over. The
engine was overturned and badly dam
aged. the tender and baggage car were
broken and splintered and there was hard
ly a truck left under any of the five pas
senger coaches that were behind the big
engine.
The train involved in this wreck was
the same one that bumped into the gravel
cars at LivermOre station on Wednesday
night. The engine was the same one, the
cars were the same, the conductor, Joseph
D. Moffitt, was the one who took the Liv
ermore train down on Wednesday, and
If Engineer Bradley had not taken a lay
off for a rest he would have been in
charge of the engine. As it was the train
was being drawn by E. r. Saulpaugh, one
of the youngest members of a large fam
lily OF engineers.
CAUSE IS UNCERTAIN.
The cause of the wreck is somewhat un-
certain and theories run from a spread
rail due to soft track through the gamut
OF wreck causes, such as a broken fish
plate. a broken fiange, a broken rail,
down to the startling, though hardly
probable, theory of a deliberate attempt
to wreck the train. AS the wreck tore
up the track for about 200 feet all traces
that would lead to the discovery of the
cause were obliterated. 1t is probable that
the disaster was caused by the spread
ing Of the rails due to what is known as
a soft" track. The place where the
wreck occurred is on a curve just at the
end of what is known as Indian cut -
and these two facts would indicate this
condition. The water running into the
cut kept the soil soft and spongy, and
when the train struck the curve the
strain was more than the track could
stand so it is thought and it gave way.
throwing the train into the ditch.
This latest railroad disaster is remark
able rather for narrow escapes than for
what really happened. Had the wreck
occurred one hundred feet beyond the
entire train would have toppled into q
sunken road which passes under the rail-
road track and the loss of life would
have been equaled only by that of the
Byron horror. Had it occurred one hun
dred feet further back on the line the
cars would have been piled up in the cut
and the wreck would have been nearly
as bad. The train men agree that the
best spot for the least injury to men
and passengers was right where the
wreck haDDeQed.
