Ex-Secretary Herbert's View.

When objection was made to this plan by
former Secretary of the Navy Herbert Gen.
Answorth asked Mr.. Herbert whether it
his idea that the investigation should
be undertaken with the primary object of
harmoniZing the factions with the OBJ
ject of ascertaining and reporting the true
facts in regard to the dispute. Mr. Herbert
thought that the facts should be ascer-
tanned first, and then if the differences
were not too great the factions might be
harmonized. but in regard to this latter he
expressed doubt.
Mr.. Smith suggested that the purpose of
correct the faults and secure IA better sys-
tenn of bookkeeping. He spoke in favor of
the adoption of improved methods of book
keeping, and harmony between the two
factions, aided by more blood and new
blood.
The suggestion of new blood was taken
up by Mr.. Herbert the proper solution
of the problem. He said that without new
blood and a great deal of it the country
would not regain confidence in the Red
Cross Society
Mr. Smith asked many questions of l.. A.
Stebbins, attorney for the respondents, and
Leigh Robinson attorney for the remon-
strants, concerning charges against Off
Gals of the society, and whether malfea-
sance was charged. The questions We're
directed also to Mr. Herbert, Miss Mabel
Boardman, b. H Warner and Others of the
remonstrants and it was stated that NAL
feasance was not charged, though malad-
ministration was charged. A number of
erly for the Galveston flood fund, were
cited

Most people eat too
heartily of a good many
things just because they
enjoy them.

me that greatly as people
like FORCE" they can't
eat too much of it.
