MANY ARMY DOCTORS ARE WANTED
Much Interest Attaches to the Exam
nations to Be Held for
Physicians.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Much in
terest attaches to the examinations to
be held here and in other cities in diff
ferent parts of the country of gradu-
ates of medical colleges who wish to
become commissioned officers of the
medical department of the army. There
will be about thirty places in the grade
of first lieutenant assistant surgeon)
to be filled by the preliminary exam
nations which are to take place on
May 1 and July 81. Some difficulty
has been encountered hitherto in OBJ
taiing candidates who come up to the
requirements and this inability to keep
the vacancies in the corps filled has
served as an argument in favor of in
the higher grades of the de-
partment, so as to facilitate promotion
and offer better chances of advance
ment to those who are disposed to
enter the corps.

IN STEEL PRISON,
Workman, Cought in a Huge Bucket
Lock, Sits There, Unable to Escape.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Frank Mil
Ter, a lock tender employed by the
Hudson company in work on a tunnel
running from Jersey City to Manhat-
lock in Jersey City since 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. Some portion of
the apparatus which operates the ele-
Vator to the tunnel ninety feet below
the surface, gave way and the efforts
of a large force of men are of no avail
in rescuing the prisoner.
The bucket lock stands on the sur
face. It's covering is steel. and it looks
like the boiler of a locomotive set on
end. The apparatus is such that when
the outer door opens, the inner door
leading to the shaft closes and the out
e. door cannot be opened from within
unless the inner door is closed. Mil
ler's business was to operate the ele-
vator which transports the workmen
through the pipe into the tunnel.

stand a word of English. He can be
seen through the bullseye inside the

MORGAN S PREHISTORIC PRESENT
Has Given to American Museum Of
Natural History the Warren
Mastodon.

NEW YORK, March 29.-J. Pierpont
Morgan has given to the American
Museum of Natural History the War
rem mastodon, which is considered the
finest specimen known to be in exist
ence With this gift also goes the
rest of the Warren collection of bones
of extinct animals. The mastodon will
be set up in the museum as soon as it
can be brought here from Boston,
where one member of the museum staff
is now perfecting arrangements for it's
shipment.
The Warren mastodon was found
about 1860 near Newburg, N. Y, by
laborers engaged in draining some
marshy land. 1t was purchased by
Professor Warren of the Harvard Med
ical school, Because of it's fine state
of preservation, the skeleton being al
most complete, it has attracted much
attention among scientific men. 1t
was kept in little stone house, just
off Beacon street, in the Back bay.
According to the will Of DR.. Warren,
the mastOdOn was left to his children
and could not be sold by them. After
the death of his last child the masto-
don was to go to his grandchildren,
who could keep or sell it. When Mr..
Morgan learned that the mastodon was
for sale, he at once purchased it for
the museum.

that an investigation Of the affairs Of

the Archduke Joseph has been ordered
by the courts, has caused considerable
sensation here, but did not come as a
surprise to those in close touch with
court affairs. 1t is we'll known that
the archduchess was involved to con-
siderable extent owing to unfortunate
stock speculations, and it is stated on
good authority that the liabilities Of
the archduchess reach the enormous
sum Of ten million crowns.

WILL GET HER DECREE OF DIVORCE
Mrs. Nora Virgins Hade Will Be Le-
gaIIy Separated from Her Hus-
band Today.

ROSWELL, N. NJ, March 29-There
is little doubt that Mrs. Nora Virgins
Harle of this city, formerly a reigning
belle of Ell Paso, Tex, will obtain a
decree of divorce against her husband
Dr. Charles S. Harle. The case is to
come up this afternoon and, as the de-
PENDANT in the case will not make his
appearance, being unavoidably de\ain-
ed in Mexico, a decree in default will
probably be granted.
DIR. Harle and two other Americans,
named Mason and Rochirdson, are I'M
der sentence of death in Jail at Chihua-
hua, Mexico, having been convicted of
having murdered two men for their in
surance money. 1t is alleged that Ma
son and Richardson were engaged by
a California life insurance company to
solicit business. 1t was shown in the
trial that they insured the lives of
two men, DR.. Harle acting in the ca
pacity Of examining physician. Some
time later the two men were decoyed
across the river into Mexico and there
upon which their life insur-
ance was collected. Strong efforts are
being made to have the death sentence
in the case of DR.. Harle committed to
life Imprisonment.

Public Meeting to Be Held in New

NEW YORK, March 29-Under the
auspices of the New York Society for
Promoting the interests of the Blind
a public meeting will be held here to-
night Mark Twain one of the honor
airy vice-presidents of the association,
has consented to preside at the meet
ing and will deliver an address. Other
speakers will be the Honorable Joseph
Choate and Miss Helen Keller. The
proceedings of the meeting cannot fail
to be pathetically interesting, and the
result will undoubtedly give new i'm
petus to the much needed work the So
ciety has undertaken.
The association will continue the
work of collecting and distributing
tickets for musical and dramatic per-
formances to the blind people who
could otherwise not afford them The
organization sends visitors to the blind
in their homes, where they give prac-
teal suggestions to help those willing
and able to work, bring cheer and
courage wherever possible. The en-
plOyment, using the information gath
cred by the visitors, will try to find
remunerative occupations for some
in handicraft shops for the blind.

THIS is ON ACCOUNT OF THE

NONE ADVANCED SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER

WASHINGTON, D. c., March %
Many second lieutenants of the army
are greatly disturbed over the fact
that they cannot be promoted. No Of
ficer of that grade of the infantry arm
has been advanced since last Septem-
Der. This is on account Of charges
pending against Lieutenant V. w. Boil
Ter, of the Twentieth infantry These
charges reached the war department,
and although Boiler had been nominal
ed for promotion, the senate military
committee has asked for further in
formation concerning him, with the
result that the court of inquiry has
been detailed, and it will be several
ton is relieved for the subalterns of
infantry. In the meantime Lieutenant
Boiler insists that he shall have the
presence Of a long list of officers whose
testimony he regards as necessary in
establishing his fitness for promotion
The summoning of these officers before
the court of inquiry would mean a loss
OF much time in travel, to say nothing
of the expense of mileage and the an
noyance due to absenteeism. The war
department is inclined to think that
Lieutenant Boiler should depend on de-
positions to acquire the information.
all of which is far from cheerful news
for juniors he has blocked in advance
