SCORES POLICY
OF THE ARMY
Major Seaman Says Surgeons
Should Have Been Sent to
Watch War in the Orient
LESSONS TO BE LEARNED
He Ridicules the Idea of
Attaching Cayalrymen to-
Forces of the japanese

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12-Before the In
ternational Congress of Military Sur
geons to-day Major Louis Livingstone
Seaman, who has just returned from
the scene of the Russo-Japanese war,
delivered an address. He said in part:
The japanese authorities permitted
our Government to send five military
attaches to accompany their army in
the field. Was a surgeon or quarter
master or a commissary officer de-
tailed? No. They represent the life
saving and preserving departments
and were omitted. The killing depart
ments got the appointments, and to-
day Japanese officers are laughing in
their sleeves at our senseless failure to
have representatives on what they con-
slider their three vital points, while the
only weak, almost burlesque feature
of their army. its cavalry, is consid-
cred of sufficient Importance to be
worthy of special study.
But what can be expected of a Gov
ernment that after such terrible les
sons of 1S9S-99 still insisted, especially
in the tropics, in substituting its army
on a ration so rich and elastic-lovely
term that elastic-so elastic that when
in the emergency of war it's elasticity
is tested 1t bursts its bands and is
found to consist of pork and beans and
fermenting canned rubbish that in six
weeks Drostrated 80 per cent of its
$50, 900 units with intestinal diseases
and sent 5000 to their last homes to say
nothing of the enormous number i'm
valided and the $4,000 pension claims
That in its famous reorganization fails
utterly to recognize one of the most
important of all the departments.
namely that of sanitation, as it is
recognized by the Japanese to-day?
That holds its great life preserving de-
partment in such light esteem that but
one officer in the entire army can ever
reach the rank and emoluments of a
brigadier general? That on its general
staff fails TO have a single represen-
tative of this department, and if any,
only young, inexperienced man of in
ferior rank. instead of the ablest and
most experienced officer in or out of the
service, one of international reputation
like our retired surgeon general, Stern
berg"
Major Seaman assailed Congress for
abolishing the post canteen and said it
was time for this association of mill
tary and naval surgeons to demand a
reorganization of the army which
would afford the medical branch equal
recognition with other branches of the
service.

ARMOUR'S WHIP
OYER HIS HEAD
Chicago Merchant Tells How
Shipments Stopped When
He Rebelled at Car Rates
BIG JUMP IN PRICES
Interstate Commerce Board
Also Hears of Rebates by
Santa Fe in California

CHICAGO, Oct. 12-At to-days ses-
sion of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, E. G. Davies of Chicago,
commission merchant, testified that be-
cause he would not pay alleged exor-
bitant icing rates, the Armour Car
Company placed an embargo upon his
business. He testified that an agent
of the company called him from his
office and told him he might as well go
out of business. He also said that they
threatened that no freight consigned
by shippers would be received unless
all charges were paid in advance by the
shippers.
The threat was carried out, Davies
testified, and during last summer he
said he received no shipments from the
entire vegetable belt south of Cairo, Ill.
Davies further testified that since the
Armour refrigerator line had secured
an executive contract with the Pere
Marquette Railroad Company, compel
ling the growers and shippers of the
Michigan fruit belt to use Armour cars
and pay Armour prices, rates have in
creased 416 % per cent
The shippers can either pay the un-
reasonable prices demanded by Ar
mour,' said Davies, "or let their fruit
rot"
]. S. Leeds. general manager of the
Santa Fe refrigerator line, admitted
that his company paid rebates of $25 a
car on shipments from Northern Cali
fornia points in order to meet the COM
petition CT Armour. He said the Santa
Fe refrigerator line, although officered
by the same men as the Santa Fe Rail-
road Company, was not common car
rier and that he proposed to continue
TO make inducements for patronage as
long as conditions warranted.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is in Pre-
serving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
oisinfectant and purifier in nature. but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take OF il the better; it is not a
drug Il ALL but simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other OdOrOus vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, IL whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absOrbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: il
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money is
.n Sruarts Charcoal LOzenges; they
are composed Of the finest powdered
,fliOw charcoal, and other harmless
autiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form Of large. pleasant tasting loz-
enSes. the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
Of the general health, better complex
ion, sWeeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty Of il is that no possible
harm can result from their continued
Use, but. on the contrary, great benefit
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits Of charcoal says: I ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges TO all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and 70 clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver is great
y benefited by the daily use Of them
they cost but twenty-five cents a box at
srug stores, and although in some sense
q patent preparation. yet 1 believe I
get more and better charcoal IN Stuart's
Charcoal LOzenges than in any of the
ordinary charcoal tablets"

STOCKHOLDERS
DELAY ACTION
Annual Election of Directors
of the Oregon Short Line
Railway Is Put Over
CAUSES MUCH COMMENT
POStpOnemeIit Is Believed by
Many to FOreshadOw Some
Very Important Changes

SALT LAKE CITY. Oct. 12.-At
the annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers Of the oregon Short Line Railway.
held here to-day. the election of di-
rectors was postponed until November
II. The reason for the unexpected
postponement could not be learned.
tnose present at the meeting refusing
tu talk. The oregon Short Line IS a
part Of the Hartman system and to-
days action. following the election 70
the Union Pacific board of directors
yesterday Of William @. Rockefeller
and Henry c Frick. has caused con-
siderable comment by local railroad
officials
What makes the situation more in
teresting is the fact that the large
Hartman holdings of Northern Pa
cihc stock are vested in the Oregon
Short Line corporation. It is the gen
orally expressed belief among local
railroad officials that the control Of
The Union Pacific system has passed
from the Hartman TO the Gould
Rockefeller interests and that to-day's
postponement Of the Oregon Short
Line directors election foreshadows
some exceedingly important changes
affecting the Western railway situa-
ton.
There is much interest expressed in
the possible effect the change in the
Union Pacific may have on the con-
StucuOn Of the Western Pacific Rail-
road from San Francisco TO Salt Lake
city. This road was intended as
Pacific Coast outlet for the Gould
lines.
