the Medical College of Virginia and the

THE OLD COLLEGE.
The Medical College OF Virginia opened
with pleasing prospects, Last session
there were more than 2Go students IN all
departments and while too early yet to
speak definitely, the opening days enroll
ment indicates that fully that number
will be in attendance. In fact. from the
correspondence with prospective students
during the summer there is reason to an
ticipate that the enrolment VIII reach
27o or $50. 1t may even exceed those tig-
ures. The opening days work compares
favorably with last years, and larger
percentage OF old students have returned
than usual. The use of the building for
mery known as the Old Dominion Hospi-
tai will afford very much more room for
the work. dental laboratory and library
will be located in the hospital building
adjoining the college proper, and facilities
will thus be afforded for the dental and
the medical and pharmacy students in the
old college. In fact, the available room
for practical work is almost doubled, Be
sides all this the college has the use of
the spacious and admirably adapted clinic
room in the new Memorial Hospital. A

NEGROES AS SOLDIERS.
Official NotEce to be Taken of Gem
eral Baldwin's D~isparaging State
rfeenT.

Washington, April 1.-THE war depart
ment has taken official cOgnizance Of
the reported statements of General
Frank D. Baldwin, commander Of the
department of the Colorado, in dispar-
agement of the Filipinos and negroes
as soldiers and Secretary Root today
directed thai a formal inquiry bA ad
dressed to General Baldwin asking
whether or not he had been correctly
quoted. Pending a reply no action
will be taken by the department.
General Baldwin is fresh from the
Philippines and has just assumed COM
mand of the department of the Colo
RADIO. These alleged remarks which he
is reported to lave made were to the
effect that n of his reasons for killing
the Filipinos as a soldier was the same
that gave him a preference for the
negro in the same c~apacity-that in q
fghtl he was not worried about his
safety, as it did not make any differ
ence whether he got killed or not.

New York. April IA murder was
discovered early today, according t.
the police, by the finding Of the body
Of a man, apparently an Italian, in a
barrel in east Eleventh street. near the
docks. The mans throat was cut from
ear to ear. The first and the only clew
found during several hours search was
he letters Wv. t. painted on the bot
these letters will aid them a good deal
in revealing the mystery.
The we'll kept condition of the hands
and nails Of the dead man indicated
he was not a aborer. The police say
that he wore expensive shoes and may
have been in good circumstances. The
the dead man a bit of paper, bearing
he words in Italian translated as
come, come in a hurry The police
believe this was a part of a decoy let
ter.
A small, perfumed woman's hand
kerchief vas found in the barrel.
Coroner's Physician DR.. Albert T.
Weston who performed an autopsy on
he body of the murdered man, said
that he had found eighteen additional
stab wounds in the neck, besides the two
deep gashes that had severed the jugu-
lar vein, thereby causing death. The
physician said that the autopsy reveal
ed no evidence that there has been a
struggle. He advances the theory that
the man had been held so that the could
not move, while his assailants in order
to force him to tell something they
wanted to know, tortured him by MAX
ing slight stab wounds in his neck.

They Charge Illegal Discrimination
Against Certain Railroads.

Washington, April 14.-The Central
Yellow Pine Association, composed Of
lumber manufacturers and shippers in
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, to-
day filed with the interstate
commission 2 formal request for an in
v~estigation Of alleged illegal advant-
ages given to the manufacturers of yell
low pine lumber whose mills and plants
are located along the railways in
Arkansas and Louisiana, west of the
Mississippi river. The complaint al
leges that in order to give these ad-
yantageS over the c~omplainantS in
rival markets the defendant roads have
introduced the practice of Disgusting
rebates given on lumber shipments
through so-called tap line divisions
of freight carried. This means allow
ances on account of the logging rail-
roads owned by the manufacturers and
shippers themselves to haul logs from
their timber lands to the various mills
along the lines Of the railroads.
