Number of Tried Officers.

There are exactly forty-four field officers
on the active list of the line of the army
today who are. by virtue of their service
in the civil war, entitled to retirement
with advanced rank. Every one of these
officers has rendered good and some of
them brilliant service to the country, and
every one of them deserves the best that
can be given him. OF this number twenty
three are colonies, eighteen lieutenant COLO
nels, and three are majors. There are
eleven of them in the cavalry, twelve in
the artillery corps and two in the infantry.
The colonies will -etire, if they ask 1t now
under the retirement act. with the grade
of brigadier general: the lieutenant colo-
nels with the grade of colonel, and the ma
jors with the grade Of lieutenant colonel
Il is hardly possible that they will receive
any higher rank because they have now
completed forty years service, and there
are very few of them who are not more
than sixty-two years of age. 1t has been
suggested that the power lies with the
Pr esdent to compel these officers to take
advantage of the new law. The President
has shown himself to be the friend of the
young man and he has the chance now. Let
him announce to these officers that this is
their last CALL and let him persuade them
to step aside. We can then step up, and
there will be younger blood in all grades of
the service
The list of officers in the cavalry artil-
lery and infantry branches of the service
who are entitled to increased rank under
the law clted, lncluQeS some OF the most
distinguished men in the army. All of
these officers have been in the service con-
tinuously since the civil war, and several
of them served throughout that conflict.
There are many other officers in the staff

creased rank. but their duties are not so

smoke from the basement of Masonic
Temple, and few seconds afterward the

A PLEASANT, SIMPLE, BUT SAFE AND Eff

Catarrh Of the stomach has long been consid-
cred the next thing to incurable. The usual symp-
toms are a full bloatng sensation after eating,

There is often q foul taste I'm the month coated

The cure for this common and obstinate trouble
is found In treatment which causes the food

time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous
surfaces OF the stomach. To secure a prompt
and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing
to do and when normal digestion is secured The
catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best
treatment is TO use after each meal tablet. COM

ARMY RETIREMENTS
CIVIL WAR VETERAN OFFICERS
BLOCK PROMOTIONS.
They Don't Apply Under the Law
Which Gives Them Increased
Rank and Pay.

Officers of the army complain that the Of
ficers who are affected by the law allowing
civil war veterans to retire with increased
rank are not taking advantage of this act
TO place themselves OH the retired list All
the officers who served in the civil war
have by this time completed their forty
wears of service There are few who are
under the age of sixty-two years. Their
retention of their commissions in the active
service. il is claimed, keeps down promo
ton and prevents deserving young ofncers
from enjoying the privileges of higher rank
to which their standing would seem to en-
title them One of the cases which led 10
the enactment of this law, 1t is sald, was
the presence of many officers on the active
list who were disabled or otherwise not en-
tirely able to perform active service, but
who are kept on the list by reason OF their
meritorious service in times past and tneif
splendid records in all the ranks they nave
held The chance to get increased rank
was given these men in the hope that they
might take advantage to get out OF harness.
and give the youngsters chance
One ofacer's Opinion.
eft is not because we do not like them or
respect them. or that we do not value their
attainments as military men, that makes
give us a chance" declared an officer OF
the army to Star reporter recently. In
no class of men is there higher admlra-
lion for the deeds of the soldiers OF TINS
country than is to be found among oncers
of the army and navy. and in no branch OF
human endeavor are there to be found SO
many old men, not fossiliZed or decrepit,
hut men old in years as there are In the
United States army. That condition is not
true in the navy. because that particular
branch of the service is short of officers,
and the younger men are being pushed up
as fast as they can DE turned out of the
academy. But in the army ii is the old
men who are keeping things back.
THE army of the United States, as Tar
as the officers are concerned, has been in
creased to just four times the strength II
had In 1893, and yet there are ten captains
of cavalry on the active list whose commits
sions in that rank antedate the war with
Spain from one year to three months. There
may be some dead wood among these cap
tains of cavalry, but | have never heard 1t
suggested, nor would the records of their
service bear out any such statement. A
man who is not capable seldom becomes a
captain In the army IN this country.
For several years the Secretary of the
Navy and the officers in charge OF the va
rious bureaus of the department have been
hard at work trying TO devise some means
for boosting the young men into places oil
command. The long preliminary work OF a
subordinate officer, with little or no chance
to command, is not calculated to make a
good commanding officer of that man. Ad-
mirai Dewey only yesterday recommended
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-01-09

that a reserve list be created, and Off
GERS of the rank of captain and commander
be placed on this list when they shall have
reached the age of fifty years.
Now, of course, don't pretend to say
that there is any direct parallel between
the duties of a ship commander and those
of the commander of a troop company or
battery, but do contend that the principle
is just good one for the army as it is
for the navy.

WILL QUIT THE BENCH
JUSTICE MORRIS SAYS THAT HE
WILL RESIGN.
Will Not, However, Indicate When He
Will Give Up His Present
Duties.

Mr.. Justice Morris of the Court of APP
peals of the District of Columbia, said to
Star reporter this morning at his resi-
dence that the rumor in regard to his
resignat ton is well founded, for it is his
purpose to leave the bench in all proba-
bility within a year
Il do not bind myself zto resign he said
laughingly, but 1 expect to do SO. I have
had my time and am ready to give place to
another. 1 also have private interests to
look after, which have been neglected in
recent years..
The rumor has been in circulation about
the city hall that Mr.. Justice Morris has
practically determined to follow the ex-
ample of Mr.. Chief Justice Alvey and retire
from the bench in the near future.
At the time the fact that Mr. Chief JUS
tice Alvey had made up his mind to sur
render his judicial duties was made public
it was stated in conversation that Mr.. JUS
tice Morris would return to private life
next year. Strong indications that he will
go off the bench within a few months, how
ever, appeared late last Saturday after
noon, when a number of members of the
bar were visited in their offices and asked
to indorse, by written communica tons to
the President an individual who desires to
succeed Mr.. Justice Morris These solic-
tors asserted as faet-that Mr.. Justice Nor
riS is soon to retire.
To Star reporter today one of the senior
and most prominent members of the bar,
when asked regarding the truth of the ru-
NOR affecting Mr.. Justice Morris, said:
while he has carefully RETAINED from
saying anything that would result in his
determination becoming public, Mr.. Justice
Morris, In private converse ton with one or
two of his close friends, has intimated that
he will soon give up his active judicial du-
ties. He will not retire, however until
after the 4th Of March"
Eligible for Retirement.
Mr.. Justice Morris Is a Washingtonian,
and was appointed to his present position
upon the date of the organization of the
Court of Appeals, in $685. from the District
of Columbia. Having served as a member
of the court for ten years, and being of the
age OF seventy years he is now eligible to
retire on full pay for life. Mr.. Justice Nor
ris was the law partner of the late Richard
Merricls.
The fact that Mr.. Justice Morris is a
Washingtonian has given rise to the hope
among many members of the bar that the
President may, therefore, be induced ia
name local lawyer as his successor. A
strong movement has already been inaug-
urated in the interest of Mr.. Joseph j. Oar
lington. who was mentioned for the va
cancy caused by the retirement of Mr..
Chief Justice Alvey.

Alike-House' Committee Hearing.

The interstate committee of the House to-
day continued its hearings bills to
further restrict common carriers. Mr.. Low
erng of Massachusetts,, member OF the
committee. at the outset protested against
the manner in which E. P. Bacon, chair
man of the interstate commerce law con-
vention, had been interrogated by Mr..
Mann at the last session. He charged that
the questions were entirely too personal
and did not bear on the merits of the
Cooper-Quarles bill under consideration. 1t
was he said, q matter of little consequence
to him whether he was one of four men ac-
cused of holding up a bill. What he want
ed was questions asked witnesses which
would elicit facts.
Il absolutely disclaim," he vigorously as
serted. amy part or parcel in the manner

interjected Mr.. Richardson Of Alabama.
The Private Car Monopoly.
Geo. F. Mead, a member of the National
League of Commission Merchants of Bos-
ton, and also of the Boston Fruit Growers
Exchange, then took the stand and COM
planned of what he said were the inroads
made into his business by the so-called
private car companies. These lines, he
said. have grown to such an extent that
the car company known as Armour & Co.
practically controlled the price of perish
able food commodities In this country No
line Of business, he declared, perhaps suf-
fered as much from the execution-of the
abuse of private car companies than did
that which he represented. He maintained
that Armour & Co. were operating without
license, and, he said, he could not see why
they had 1.-THE right to prey upon our bust
he nd Ia
mand whatever they see fit.''
These private car companies he said,
can break men, firms and even states by
their traffic rates. q
general discussion followed regarding
the powers invested in the interstate COM
merce commission to fix rates by the
Cooper-Quarles BILL
Replying to question by Mr.. Mann,
Mr.. Mead said that on. account of freight
rates many business interests of the coun-
try were not only on the point of ruin, but
that very many business houses had been
ruined.
