DODGE HASN'T Confessed
So Jerome Says-Declares Physical
Condition Still Bad.

District Attorney Jerome yesterday said that
Charles T. Dodge who brought here on an
Indictment charging perjury in connection with
the Morse-Dodge case. has not yet made a
confession statement concerning his part in
the trouble as is generally supposed. 1t has
been reported several times since Dodge reached
this city from Texas a week ago that
he had told the District Attorney his story in
connection with the case. and that it was for
this reason that Mr.. jerome appeared before
Judge Newburger. in the Court of General SEES
sions, when Dodge was arraigned, and asked for
the mans discharge on his own recognzance.
LAS yet" the District Attorney said. Dodge
has mads confession and we will not take
any statement from him until his physical con-
dition warrants him in doing He is not a
State witness yet, and until he gives some val
liable information he will not be taken as such.
The man is a physical wreck and is being
cared for. If he shall prove of no value as
people's witness then he will be returned TO the
Tombs to stand trial on the perjury charge"

They Say They Want Mr.. Haas To Use That
$4,000 to Relieve Poverty

At a meeting Of the officers of the organization
Of the General Socum survivors. held last night
at No. 70 First-ave., great indignation
pressed over published statement alleged TO have
been made by Mr.. Haas. the pastor of St Marks
Chapel in Sixth-st
Speaking for the members of the general COM
mittee of the organization. Charles Dersch the
president, said in part:
If the statement attributed to Mr.. Haas is true
he has not only offered insult tc those who met
death on the General Slocum last summer, but to
those who survived the awful disaster. The state
ment is false from beginning to end.
We are charged with demanding from him the
fund Of $1,000 contributed for building a mon
ulnent. We emphaticaly deny that any such de-
naud 7de. What did ask that
the money be used 10 help many Of the survivors
who destitute and ia need of the money.
As u the monument fund, we did ask Mr.. Haas
70 assist US in raising a public subscription of
$500 for a monument TO be erected over the sixty
unidentified dead. This he refused TO do.
a demand has been made on us by a number OF
persons who contributed to The fund Mr.. Haas has
in trust for accounting. They want to know
why the money has not been used Tor the relief
Of such survivors in need.
NT. Haas says he has the money and intends tn
keep IL for church uses according TO the published
statement. There lot Of survivors who were
without q Christmas dinner. who behind

The committee does not want a penny Of the
money, but does want Mr.. Haas to do with the
money those who gave II wished him to do.

ROBERTS URGES REFORMS.
Declares England Needs Large
Reserve of Trained Soldiers.

London. Dec. c9.-"The Army as 1t Was, and
1t Is To Be- is the text under which Field
Marshal Earl Roberts. IN the January Nine
teenth Century" reads to Britons a lecture on
the duty of all classes, If Great Britain would
meet the demands of modern warfare. After
frankly pointing out existing deficiencies. Earl
Roberts writes:
terrible lesson awaits the nation whose
soldiers find themselves opposed by equally
brave but better trained opponents the field
or battle. No amount of money, no national
sacrifices Will then avail: for modern warfare
moves fast, and time lost in peace never be
made up during the stress of a campaign. 1
hold this view very strongly. and would urge my
fellow countrymen with all the force at my COM
mand TO look the plain facts in the face.
Earl Roberts does not advocate compulsory
service. because it is distasteful to the nation
and incompatible with the conditions Of an
army. which has large proportion of units in
foreign service" but maintains that Great
Britain must have large reserve force, and 'if
the citizens of so great and prosperous a nation
as ours are to remain exempt from compulsory
service in time of peace without the safety of
the empire being endangered. the right class OF
men must be attracted to the regular army by
good conditions of pay and pension and. it is
the bounden duty of the state to see that every
able-boded man in this country no matter to
what grade of society he may belong, under
goes SCIIle KIM OF military training IN youth,
sufficient to enable him to shoot straight and
carry out simple orders. if ever his services are
required for national Defence"
Earl Roberts reviews the changes of the last
fifty years, describes the military system prior
to the Crimean War. and points out how the
Introduction of modern guns necessitated the
complete adjustment of the idea that men must
be mere machines. Officers. he says. are no
longer directly able to control their m. y be-
cause the fighting formation has been changed,
and therefore the must have far higher
standard of individual intelligence. while among
the officers intelligence, self-reliance and the
power Of leading must be on a proportionately
higher level.
simultaneously with the earls article, it is
officially announced that 100 batteries will be
supple with new guns. at a cost of $1,000 600
and hat the order will be executed within
twenty months
Ear! Roberts concludes, his article as follows:
1t will be necessary to have reserve force of
officers amounting to thousands These
can be made available by system for the mill
tary training of the entire youth of the country.
Such a reserve is essential to our success, no
matter under what system our army may be or
ganized.

OVAMBOS MAY RISE.
Germany Continues to Pour Troops
Into Southeast africa.

Berlin Dec. 29-The continued shipment of
troops to German Southwest Africa at a moment
when the Hereros are completely vanquished
and the Witbois are suffering from one defeat
after another finds explanation in Colonial
circles in the rumor that the government in
tends to begin a campaign against the Ovambos
as soon as the rest of the colony is pacifed
The Ovambos hitherto have kept the peace
but hundreds of armed Hereros fled 10 their ter
ritory, where the German authorities fear they
will carry on war propaganda which will lead
to another uprising so soon as the German
troops are withdrawn 1t is believed that the
operations against the Ovambos will prove to
be a more serious matter than the campaigns
against the Hereros and WiJbois The Ovambos
are more numerous and better armed A trav-
eller who recently returned here from German
Southwest Africa expressed surprise at finding
the Ovambos so prosperous

early to-day. The dead are Charles Mcmillan
Miss Charlotte Mcmillan, his sister and Frank
Mcmillan. a nephew. Miss Lulu Mcmillan. an
other sister who resided at the Mcmillan home,
escaped. The cause Of the fire has not been ex-
plained
The three McMillans lost their lives in an
attempt to save the house from destruction
Aroused by the cracking of the flames the
family fed from the house IN their night cloth
ing and awoke a farm hand who occupied a
house a few rods away. He arrived or the
scene just in time 10 see Charles Frank and
Charlotte rush into the burning building with
pals Of water. Lulu Mcmillan and Mary Dor
nan, a servant were restrained by main force
from following the others. At that time the
house was in flames. and to enter would have
been certain death. Nothing was seen or heard
OF the three who had entered the building until
after the fire, when two bodies charred beyond
recognition were found in the ruins. 1t is sup
posed that the third body is in the debris. The
Mcmillan homestead was one of the fine country
houses Of Livingston County, in which the
family was prominent.
