WOODS N0MIN ALTON
HEARING BEFORE SENATE MILL
TARY COMMITTEE.
Senator Proctor Will Require Substan-
tial Proof of Adverse
Allegations.

The outcome of the hearing before the
Senate committee on military affairs that
Is to take place tomorrow is regarded with
especial interest in view of the fact that
Senator Proctor has given notice to Sena-
tors Hanna and Teller to the effect that he
will expect them to have substantial PROOF
for allegations to be made by such wit
nesses they will present to the commit
tea against the nomination of General
Wood to be major general of the army.
1t is now believed that the testimony of
Major Runcie in relation to the article IN
the North American Review written by
him. and in which General Wood was placed
In the attitude of criticisng the admins
tration of General Brooke In Cuba, is likely
to be reduced to a question of veracity be-
tween General Wood and Major Runcle.
The allegation that was made after this ar
ticle appeared in the North American Re-
view to the effect that General Wood had
corrected the manuscript and interlined 1t
has been withdrawn by the newspapers
that published such statements. AS 1t is
understood at the Capitol Ray Stannard
Baker went to Cuba and called upon Cen
eral Wood for information. He re-
ferred to Major Runcie, who was then act
ing an attorney for General Wood. and
Major Runcie prepared for him a statement
covering the matters about which he sought
information.

as information which Baker might use in
connection with matters to be treated by
him. Runcie was then teegraphed to and
asked whether the article could DC III nted
over his lame. and he replied in the af-
firmative. 1t was published and q n. Wood
at once took occasion to disclaim any re-
sponsbility for it,
The question to come before the commit
tee is whether that article was prepared
under General Woods direction for publica-
ton, and whether he saw it before 1t was
published and knew the use that was 10
be made of It, If such facts can be
shown. the members of the committee
think that 1t is = serious matter. but it is
not believed that such will prove to be
the case, in view of General Woods de-
NAL of responsibility.
The fact that Major Runcie was instruct
ed to give information and the fact that he
did write the article is not regarded as a
matter that can be held against General
Wood
Major Rathbone Is expected to be before
the compittee also. but if any other wit
nesses are to be there tomorrow their names
are not known to members of the commit
tee generally. 1t is now understood that
Senator Hanna purposes to see that the
testimony against the confirmation of
General Wood is presented in good form.
