SENDS IT BACK FOR REVIEW.
Secretary Bonaparte's Action on En-
sign Wade's Case.

Secretary Bonaparte has disproved the
finding and verdict of the court-martiaI In
the case of Ensign Charles T. Wade who
was tried on charges growing out of the
accident on the gunboat Bennington last
July, and has sent the entire case back to
San Francisco for review by the court
martial, the personnel of which is still
there.
The sentence of the court was a light
one, and 1t is evident that Secretary Bona
parte does not believe that Wade was suf-
ficiently punished by the court-martiaI
Ensign Wade was the senior engineering
officer of the Bennington at the time that
vessels boilers blew up. The court of
inquiry which made the preliminary inves-
tigauon of the disaster recommended that
Wade be court-martfaled
Secretary Bonaparte approved this recon-
mendation and also ordered that Comrnan-
der Young. commanding officer of the Ben
nington, be taken before the same court
and tried. The charges made against Wade
were for the most part under the general
head of neglect of duty The affairs
of the boiler room came directly under his
control and the court of inquiry discovered
a good deal of neglect there The Wade
court-martial was delayed for some weeks
by the critical Illness of the officer, who
suffered severely from the shock of the
accident and the subsequent actionq against
him. The case Is sent back for review
The court Is not required to change the
sentence, although the Secretary does dis
approve.

IN LINE WITH A POLICY,
Huntington Wilson's Appointment to
Succeed MIR. Peirce.

The selection of Mr.. Huntington Wilson
to succeed Mr.. Peirce as third assistant
secretary of state was made in pursuance
of the policy Secretary Root announced
some time ago in connection with the con-
sular service, of providing in some way for
the exchange of places between officials
within and without the State Department,
so that those persons who intend to make
their life career lie in diplomacy might be-
come acquainted with all branches of the
work.
Mr.. Wilson was born in Chicago about
thirty-five years ago, and first entered the
diplomatic service in May. 1897, as second
secretary of the United States legation at
TOXIC. He was promoted to be first secre-
tary in 1880. He was graduated at Yale in
the class of 1897, is linguist, and speaks
Japanese and French easily. He was
strongly recommended for his appointment
by Senator Cullom and Secretary Taft.
About two years ago he married Miss
Lucy James of Baltimore, her father being
retired business man in that city.
Mr.. Wilson's appointment is, like that OF
Mr.. Peiree as minister to Norway. con
tingent upon the passage by Congress- of
an appropriation providing for a legation in
Norway, but 1t is thought at the State
Department that there will be no hitch in
that respect.

JOHN W. HILLS TRIAL.
Former Chief of Philadelphia Filtra-
ton Plant

PHILADELPHIA, January 3.-The trial
of John w. Hill, former chief of the fltra-
ton bureau of this city, which began yes
terday before Judge Audenreid. was con-
tinued today The technical charge upon
which Hill Is being tried is the alleged

plant.
Acting upon the request of District Attor-
ney Bell, Judge Audenred ordered that the
jury be kept in custody until the conclu-
sion of the trial. This procedure Is seldom
resorted to in this city except in murder
cases.
Frederick schoffhauser, an assistant en-
gineer In the filtration bureau under former
Chief HILL was one of the principal wit
nesses to day against Mr.. Hill. He repeated
the now famous "eat-tt-up' story, which
created a sensation at the preliminary
hearing OF the defendant
THE witness said that under contract NO.
IL, for excavation for the Torresdale filter
the limit of cost was to be $7500oo. In
hauser said there was balance of $1,000.
Chief Hill. he declared, ordered him TO
eat it up so that the contractor could
derive the benefit. Acting on these In
structions he said, he credited the con-
tractor with 2.620 cubic feet of extra eX-
cavation, which work, he asserted was
rot performed.

During the first six months following the

The Block System.

"HE recent disaster upon the
Southern Railway, in which
the highest official of that road
met death, is claimed to have
been due to the improper handling of
the block system by the operator. To
great many outside of railroad circles
the construction and working of the
block system is perhaps unknown. In
the standard book of rules, block is,
a piece of track between defined limits
governed and controlled by signals.
One of the strictest of rules is: "No
train, under any circumstances, must
be allowed to follow passenger train
in the block until the block is reported
clear and unoccupied." If this rule
had been obeyed, the wreck upon the
Southern would not have occurred.
Freight trains are allowed to follow
one another in some blocks. Such
blocks are known as "Permissive
Blocks" There are other blocks in
which are curved and difficult pieces of
track, where's one train at time is
allowed. They Se known as " Positive
or absolute BloE2s." How then with
plain rules, based upon common sense
to guide them, do operators make mis-.
takes? Osrelessness and incompetency

achievement. In the paper-making in
dustry alone, the science of chemistry
has made progress that, tho often
unnOticed, far outranks some of our
most modern inventions. In the whole
process of the industry we find nothing
that is "airy-fairy" in nature; every
thing is substantial and every step
spells success and accomplishment.
Next to the paper industry, our
packers have availed themselves of
this boon in the conservation of waste
and energy about as much as any other
one industry. We have heard all sorts
of fantastic stories of "Packingtown,"
and while we know much of what has
been said is pure fiction, if not poor
fiction, it is well-known fact that we
consume almost daily, some food, some
liquid, drug or stlmulant, that, did we
know its source or composition, would
give us something akin to NAL de maer.
Imagine, if you can, eating the horns,
hoofs, sinews and hides of cattle. We
would not think of eating it, you will
say. Yet this is exactly what we do,
but we get "poetic" about it and give
it different name, baptizing it as
strawberry jellie or raspberry gelatine.
And what is more, if these things do
not seem to agree with our stOmachs,
we go to our physician and get little
pepsin, this perhaps having been ex-
tracted from the digestive glands of
the same animal that furnished that
delicious raspberry jam or gelatine.
