TO EXPEDITE BUSINESS.
Reform in Routine Methods Of the
War Departmeut

President Roosevelt has approved recon.
mendations for certain reforms in the
routine business of the War Department,
which recommendations We're prepared uu-
der the direction of Acting Secretary Oliver.
These changes will be promulgated in
general orders and circulars to officials In
the department. These changes have been
brought about by the action Of the Presf-
dent IN creating the Keep commission. His
letter criticised the methods of work in
connection with the papers OF both the
War and Navy Departments and General
Oliver took the matter up at once. The
suggestions of General Oliver were consid-
cred by the general staff and very for
midable report was made, which received
the approval of the acting secretary and
afterward the approval OF the President.
The War Department has found Itself
hampered to some extent by the rules OF
accounting and a letter has been addressed
to the Secretary of the Treasury suggesting
that certain changes be made in the method
of doing business by the auditor for the
War Department. which. ii Is believed, VIII
result in expedting the business OF the
department.

TESTS OF CORN BREEDING.
Report Recently Issued by the Agri-
cultural Department.

In response to a host of inquiries received
by the government from all parts of the
country regarding the results of tests of
corn breeding the Department of Agricul-
ture has issued a report on the production
OF good seed corn" prepared by Assistant
Psychologist C. p Hartley, under the direc-
ton of Prof b. T. Galloway. chief of the
bureau of plant industry. The report shows
there Is a general demand for weli-bred
seed corn. and that properly conducted
corn-breeding work will prove highly profit
able to the breeders and the purchasers of
seed corn The conclusions of the report
include the following:
Every geographic section of the United
States where the soil or climatic conditions
are distinctive needs one or more careful
corn breeders. Until the merits of a strain
of corn and the honesty of the one who
sells Ii are known farmers should purchase
sparingly and insist on receiving the seed
as ear corn. The most important character
a corn can possess is ability to produce
large yields. which can be greatly In
creased by persistent selection of good seed
ears from the progeny of ears that have
proved most productive. Vitality Is pre-
served by thoroughly and quite rapidly
drying the seed ears and storing them
where they viii not be exposed to damp at
mosphere or sudden changes in temperature.
II found necessary to plant seed the vitality
of which is at all doubtful test each ear
separately and plant only those which
terminate perfectly.

Big Four Teams Shaping Up
for Final Gridiron Battles.
YALE IN BAD SHAPE
GEORGE WASHINGTON'S SECRET
WORK TO MEET vIRGINIANS.

lowing the Hounds in Virginia
Turf and Track Notes.

Although the Yale foot ball eleven won an
easy victory over Columbia on Saturday,
the members of the tenn seem to have
come out of the contest in bad shape. Many
of the students at New Haven are COM
planning of what they term the rough and
unfair play of the. New Workers. and at
present the feeling among some is that Yale
should not meet the Columbia team next
year. 1t is claimed at Yale that the twisting
of Jones ankle was intentional.
OF the big elevens. only Princeton and
Pennsylvania were subjected to vigorous
training yesterday. The Tigers work was
of the most strenuous description, so fierce
that number of men were hurt The Quak-
ers lined up against the scrubs and showed
good offensive work. the ball being placed
over the scrub goal line twice. Yale's team
did not practice, while Corne1rs men do not
see disaster in Saturdays defeat.

VICIOUS ACT OF A FooTPAD.
Woman Knocked Down and Robbed
Suspect Held

Miss Josephine Madigan, whose home IS
at III oath street northwest. was on her
way home last night from the house of
friend when she was attacked by colored
man and robbed OF So in cash and pair
OF gold-rimmed eyeglasses. The young wo-
man was on 24th street. only a short dis
tance from her home, when she was ap-
preached by the highwayman and Knocked
down. She screamed for assistance, but
there was nobody in the vicinity who could
respond in time to prevent the robbery. II
was not until the criminal had escaped that
Policemen Powell and Maloney arrived.
Miss Madigan had noticed the man. but did
not imagine he was going to assault her
until the blow was actually delivered. Miss
Madigan received two three blows on
her face, but struggled with the colored
man in the effort to prevent the robbery.
During the struggle her eyeglasses were
broken, and the frame was taken away by
her asSatlant.
The two policemen assisted the injured
woman to her home. where she was at
tended by a physician. She was suffering
from nervousness in addition to the injuries
TO her face but her condition was not Sc
rious. This morning the police of the third
precinct arrested Joseph Locker. colored.

the affair happened but denied that he

HUNTER JUMPED
INTO BARBED WIRE

UPPERvILLE, Va, November 1.-THE
fifth days hunt in the Grafton -Middiesex
hound trials. when the Middlesex English
pack was taken out, proved decided suc-
cess in every particular.
Eighteen and half couples Of Mr.. Hig-
ginson's hounds gave a field OF thirty-two
riders all manner Of sport and proved con-
ciusively. no matter what the outcome Of
the match may be. that English hounds, in
charge of skilled huntsman, such as
Cotesworth. are liable not only to run well,
but to trail and give tongue In manner
that would reflect credit on any pack.
For fifty-seven minutes the Mfddlesex
hounds ran strong and true. leading the
field over q beautiful stretch of country
such as the Piedmont valley alone Is able
to furnish. Stone walls, inclosing great
broke the monotony. while open bitches and
small creeks proved the necessity of being
mounted on well-schooled hunters.
Only five riders on the way came to grief,
stin character OF the country which was
hunted is considered. Mrs. Ladenburg. who
Is known both in England and America as
one of the best horsewomen who rides to
mounds. went down at a stone wall. For
tunately Mrs. Ladenburg was not injured
and was soon UP and away again. Almost
In the next field DIR. II. A. Splitter, of Lou
doun county. came to grief over stone
fence.
The most serious fall of the day fell to
the lot of Mr.. James X. Maddox, master Of
the WarrentOn hounds and one of the judges
OF the trials. Mr.. Maddox was riding his
grand mare Firef1y, by Torchlight, when he
came to grief over a stone wall topped with
two strands of wire. Mr.. Maddox saw the
wire too late to pull up. and so took the
long chance of getting over safely.
His mare went fairly into the barbed wire.
going down heavily with 1t wrapped around
her shoulder That either Mr. Maddox or
ms hunter escaped serious hurt is little
short of miraculous. and, as it was, the
mare was cut so deeply on the shoulder that
she Will be unable to hunt for some time.
Mr Maddox escaped with bruised and cut
arm which will not prevent him from rid
ing to hounds again today
Mr. Harry Belt, riding ciean-bred hunter
belonging to Mr.. Wallace Of Warrenton
after negotiating stone wall. landed In
altch and rolled over on a pile Of stone
Druising himself considerably. Mr. Richard
Lawson. member of the Piedmont Hunt
went down over a stone wall but was able
TO get up and follow the hounds to the
finish. ~

Harvard Took It EaSy.

Easy work was the order of the day for
the Harvard varsity foot ball eleven yes
terday afternoon. SO the rain and condition
of the field did not interfere with the de-
velopment of the team for the Pennsylvania
game as it would have later In the week.
The substitutes who played against the Sec
ond in 25-minute scrimmage did very
well. They had an offense that carried the
ball for long stretches against the strong
second team and they showed up we'll the
few times they were put on the defensive
by the second. Twice the second took the
ball on downs. but both times 1t was the
result of fumbled passes by Glider. Hanly
ran the first kick off back forty-two yards,
with a good interference, and gained con-
sistently in his line bucking. Spear slowed
the tandem up some. but at times did good
work. Nichols got in 24-yard run on the
end toward the close of the scrimmage,
making the longest rushing gain of the al
ternoon. Wendell did the best work carry
ing the ball The substitutes scored three
touchdowns and safety in the scrlmmage
There was short preliminary drill, design
ed chiefly to give the men experience In
handling wet ball. some starts on the wet
field and some falling on the ball. After
that the men were put through signal
practice for 2J minutes.
