well as members of Barry Garrison, as

is the result OF jealousy. and that the

and that the majority Of the members
will not sustain their commander.
Alleged False Statement.
Joseph j. Gordon. jr., commander Of
Roosevelt Garrison. in discussing the
matter last night. said:
Commander Hackett's statement In
today's papers to the effect that Colonel
Browne was dishonorably expelled from

''Mr- Hackett makes the assertion that
he was renominated for adiutant gen.

regard to this I wish to say that he was
nominated by John Hansen, paymaster

he did not accept the nomination

BY Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 27.-In the EN-
mons trial today Attorney Grove l.,
johnson spent the morning in examin-
alton of witnesses called to contradict
testimony adduced by the prosecution
and long procession of character wit
nesses engaged the attention of the at
torneys and jurymen until the close of
the afternoon.
An effort was made during the morn
ing session to show that Clarence
Grange, when the investigation Of the
building and loan associations was
commenced, had attempted to get to-
gether bribery fund without explain
ing to the contributors any intention to
arrange FOR entrapping of members of
the legislature.
w. H. Busch, a manager of one of
the San Francisco concerns mentioned
by various witnesses, testified to this
effect and was not contradicted.
Edward Short, one of the assistant
sergeants at arms Of the senate, con-
tradicted several portions of Harry
Bunker's testimony relative to a trip
to San Francisco when Bunker and Jor-
dan were said to have had a conversa-
ton that led up to the bribery pro-
posal. The remainder of the testimony
was without important application.
The entire afternoon was devoted to
examination Of character witnesses, all
residents of Kern county, who profess
ed reluctance to believe Hartling or
Tichenor under oath or under any other
circumstances. The defense was able
to draw from score of such witnesses
who stood in the corridor outside the
court room. They were, for the most
part, friends and neighbors of the de-
fendant and many of them had been
involved in the trouble between the
Kern County Land association and the
settlers which led to the Midway shoot
ing affray and the subsequent employ
ment OF Hartling and Tichenor as de-
tectives.
Mr.. Johnson was indisposed and the
character witnesses were examined by
Rowen Irwin, one of the attorneys for
the defense, and were cross examined
by Charles T. Jones. The case will go
ON tomorrow.

DETROIT, Sept. 17.-Surgeon Cen
eral Suzuki of the imperial Japanese

convention of military surgeons of the
United States made what was declared
by Medical Director ]. S. Wise of the
United States navy to be the most
valuable contribution of modern times
to naval surgery.
Much of our success in the treat

ascribe to the fact that before every
engagement I ordered each member of
the crew to bathe and put on per-
feotly clean underclothing. In a great
many cases of shot wounds fragments
of clothing are carried into the body
and our insistence on clean under
clothing prevented many cases of blood
poisoning among our wounded.
"Our experience during the war proved
that the coming tower of a warship
is a most dangerous station, fragments
of shells penetrating through the Sits
in the tower, doing great damage
Realizing this fact, Admiral Togo, in
the naval engagements, directed his
fleet from the compass bridge of the
Mikasa without receiving the slightest
wound.
1.-THE vision of the men who fire the
guns on a warship must necessarily
be of the very best if their shots are
to count. Before every engagement
the surgeons in the Japanese fleets ex.
amIned carefully the eyes of all the

HUNGARY MAKES
REPLY TO CROWN
COALITIONISTS ISSUE TART
MANIFESTO
Declare Portions of Francis Joseph's
Proposed Program Unconstitu-
tional and an infringement
of National Rights
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Sept, 27.-The
committee of the coalitionists has is
sued a manifesto to the nation in reply
to the program submitted to it's leaders
by the emperor-king. The manifesto
declares that some points of his ma
jesty's program are not in conformity
tally to his contention that the question
of the Hungarian army must be en-
tirely eliminated from the discussion.
1t is asserted that this is equivalent
to the abolition of the nations right to
control it's own affairs. for which there
is no legal authority. The newspapers
characterize the statements Of the Aus
trian premier, Baron Gautch Franen-
thurn, in the reichsrath yesterday as
an unwarrantable interference with
Hungary's internal affairs.
The manifesto contains, among other
things, protest against the accusation
that Hungary desires to settle the COM
mon affairs Of the empire without con-
sulting Austria, and continues:
"Such arrogant ideas can only be i'm
puted to Hungary by those who are
creating an evil feeling against Hun
gary in Vienna. We know well enough
that every provision of the law we
would enact which may require any
cooperation on the part of the Aus.
trians can only become valid in prac-
tice when Austria of her own free will
creates a suitable law"
The manifesto in conclusion says:
I'VE desire to conclude just treaty of
commerce with Austria on the basis
of an independent sphere for both par
ties The decision as to whether we
shall establish an independent customs
sphere or maintain a common fiscal
system depends on the free will of the
Hungarian diet. Protests are being
made as if the decision on fiscal mat
ters were dependent on an understand
ing with Austria"
