Army for the Canteen.

Every one Of the generals command
ing military departments in the United
States, in his annual report for the past
wear, has argued earnestly for the re-
establishment of the army caEteen.
There has not been one note Of discord,
and adding weight to what they have
said. the women of the army, the wives
and DAUGHTERS of the officers, and the
society Of army surgeons, have said,
with as much emphasis as they could
command, that the canteen should be re-
stored at the earliest possible date.
The commanding generals say the ab-
sence of the canteen is one OF the main
causes Of desertion and of the increased
tendency on the part Of enlisted men t. to
disobey the ordinary regulations OF mill
tary life. The surgeons, in their re-
port, say that much of the disease OF
the army, more than one-half of it. is
due to immortality, which has come
about thru the contact of the men with
vile resorts near army posts. The
women of the army insist that the w.
G. T. U. women, while meaning well,
do not understand the case at all, and
that no immoral effect follows the sale
of beer and light wines in properly reg
ulated canteens.
The argument, to an outsider, seems
pretty well on one side of the case, but
congress may be expected, if it takes
the case up at all, to proceed slowly
and perhaps will do nothing. The ele.
merits which oppose the canteen have
political influence; those which favor it
have none. The officers Of the army
have no votes. while the men who are
attached to the excellent ladies' who
make up the w. G. T. U. are all voters.

DOCTOR DEFENDS
CIGARET SMOKING

Indianapolis, Oct. 12-The feature of
yesterdays session of the annual con-
vention of the Mississippi Valley Med
ical association was defense of the
cigaret by DR.. William B. Fletcher of
this city, who declared that years of
observation and experiment had con-
WINGED. him that cigarets were no more
harmful than any other form Of tobac-
co, or than tea or coffee.
DR.. Fletcher's treatment Of the sub
iect created mild sensation among the
200 physicians present, and during the
discussion which followed, several emil
nent members of the profession agreed
with DR.. Fletcher that an unreasonable
prejudice exists against the cigaret,
which, they commended, has been made
a scapegoat" in order to cover up
some personal vice of the smoker.
Among those who supported DR..
Fletcher in his views were: DR.. A..
sterne Of this city, Dr.. Conner Of De-
troit, DR.. Miliken Of st. Louis, DR.. G.
H. Hughes Of st. Louis and DR.. Sanger
Brown of Chicago.

sCHURMAN FOR REFORM
President Of Cornell Says Brutality
49,. Must Be Eliminated. y.

journal Special Service,
i Ithaca, Oct. l2.-" Reform in football
is very much needed. I believe in the
retention Of the game, but it's brutality
must be eliminated, If the game is to
be ,retained,' President Schurman of
Cornell university, said in a statement
just issued. ~
ssThe difficulty has been in. finding
some supreme central ant ority which
could initiate reforms with effect. Pres
ident Roosevelt has all the qualifications
for such effective itiations The ex-
allied office he fills, his standing 4as q
college man, his well-known devotion
to athletic sports, the admiration which
he evokes from the young men Of the
country, his sensible comments on the
football situation in his Harvard ad-
dress, all mark him out as the man to
lead in this movement of reform.
HI believe that what he finally rec
ommends will be adopted by college
athletes turnout the country. 1t might
perhaps hasten the reformatory move
ment if arSconvention Of the athletic
representatives of the colleges and uni.
versities were to meet in Washington
and prescribe there forms which ought
to be adopted in football after consulta.
tion with President Roosevelt. ~...
HNo university president could take
the position Of Leadership which Presi.
dent Roosevelt occupies in this matter
but all will unite in chorus Of praise
to him for his. interest in this import
ant matter and the reforms, which, I'M

PREFERRED DEATH
TO FACING TRIAL
New York Politician, Accused of
Looting Estate, Takes
Fatal Leap.

New York, Oct. 12.-Rather than
face trial on the indictments charging
him with fraudulently taking money
from the Weissel estate, Armitage
Nd athews, lawyer and secretary of the
county republican, committee, committed
suicide today by jumping from win
dow in his apartment to a stone paved
courtyard. He struck on his head,
fracturing the skull, and died in
short time. -.
Mathews, who was young man, had
advanced rapidly, both in the practice
Of mis- professions and in politics. He
was friend Of former Governor Black,
and Of Abraham Gruber, and they were
loyal to him in his trouble, acting as
legal advisers and doing all they could
to aid him to obtain a change OF venue.
The change of venue was denied yester-
day. and the trial Of the case was set
for today.
: Early this morning Mathews received
a, special delivery letter. After read
ing It his housekeeper heard him go to
the bathroom and open window. A
few seconds later he jumped to his
death. .s 49,
,s Looted an Estate.
Mathews was indicted last May on
charges of conspiracy and grand lar
ceny, growing out of the looting Of the
Weissel estate, of which David Roths-
child, wrecker Of the Federal bank, was
administrator. sSsSs@
Rothschild, John w. Wooten and
Samuel I. Ferguson, an attorney, were
, indicted with Mathews on the same
charge. Rothschild was already serv-
ing long term in the state prison for
wreeking the Federal bank and Woot-
en- was Convicted in June and sentenced
to nine years and five months in Sing
Wooten was kept in the Tombs as a
possible important witness against
Mathews. Ferguson was also expected
to be witness for the prosecution Of
Mathews.
How the Plot Worked
Mathews was the local representative
of the Bankers Surety company -
Cleveland, which was on Rothschild g
bond for 100000 as administrator Of
| the Weissel estate. It was agreed by
| the four accused men, according to the
Indictment, that Rothschild was to have
| sole possession of the estate and that
whatever money he borrowed on it was
| to be shared by his associates.
Mathews at one time was an assistant
district attorney. He served three
terms as member Of the board Of al
| dermen. Two years ago he was made
secretary of the county republican
committee.
After Rothschild was convicted and
sent to Sing Sing prison he drew up on.
bits Of papers statements in which he
accused Mathews of having share
in the looting Of the Weissel estate.
Eventually the statement reached Dis
trict Attorney Jerome and Rothschild
was BROUGHT to New York to testify
against Mathews.
