Says Gould Clique
Is Moral Debaucher

ST LOUIS. Oct. 7--Colonel Wells H.
Blodgett. third vice president and gen.
eral solicitor for the Wabash, argued
yesterday against the granting of the
Ramsey Injunction. He said that Mr.
Ramsey did not profess to be damaged
as a stockholder by the voting of stock
owned by other railroads. his only plea
being that such voting tended 10 stifie
competition.
=. Fred w. Lehman, of counsel for Mr.
Ramsey. in his argument denounced the
Gould railway system as being among
the public service corporations which
: have dehauched the public morals in
America.
c. N Travers, representing the Wa
bash. read the roads answer to the pc
tition for injunction. He asserted that
neither the Missouri Pacific nor the Iron
Mountain in any manner controls the af-
fairs of the Wabash. He emphasized
his allegations that the Wabash and
Missouri Pacific are not competing lines,
except for through traffic between St.
Louis ard Kansas City.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
Having served for a number of years
in the army as an enlisted man, and
coming in contact with every class of
soldiers. feel that 1 can write with in
telligence on the army canteen."
The army canteen never sold strong
drinks. such as whisky or brandy.
Ii is owned and operated by the
soldiers. and for the soldiers, under the
supervision of the post commanding
officer.
The same discipline is maintained
in the canteen as in the squad room.
Gambling. rowdyism and like evils are
not tolerated. Everything is orderly,
clean and well conducted
Soldiers serving In posts have a great
deal of leisure Libraries. recreation
rooms and schools are established for
their benefit. and everything possible
is done by the army officials TO make
the soldiers life pleasant and profitable.
A large per cent of the soldiers enjoy
an occasional glass of beer or other
refreshments. So the idea was con-
ceived years ago of the soldiers conduct
ing their own store or club. and the
profits derived tlIerefrom going TO the
general mess fund. 10 buy fruits and
luxuries not Issued by the Government.
Were Clean Clubs.
These stores or clubs were called
canteens.

that a soldier is liable TO want. One

OLD MINER is MISSING
Berns Is Thought to Have Fallen
From a High Cliff

BUTTE, Mont, April 4.-News has
reached this city of the disappearance
of Gearhart Berns, a placer miner of
Secesh meadows in the Thunder
Mountain district. He is supposed to
have left his, home several days before
his absence was noticed. His neigh
bore became alarmed when his nearly
starved cat crawled to one of their
cabins, and upon investigation it was
found that Berns had left his home,
taking mis- skis with him.
Some time ago he remarked that he
was going to fix the headgate to his
f1ume in order to prepare for work on
his placer ground. The f1ume is far up
on the mountainside. where the snow
is very deep, and it is believed he fell
over the cliff and was killed. 1t has
been showing for several days stead
lily, and the chances of finding his body
are very remote.
