War Department Adopts
Suggestions Made by
Tailor From England
CLOTH THE SAME
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING.
WASHINGTON. July Exchanges in
the uniforms of enlisted men of the
United States army have been ordered
by the War Department as the direct
result of suggestions made by G. B.
Winter, a military tailor OF London.
who came to the United States several
weeks ago at the request of Quarter
master General Humphreys.
These changes will not affect the
material or general character of the
uniforms. but will make those now
worn better fitting and smarter in ap-
pearance. One of Winters patterns for
an overcoat has been adopted. 1t is
modelled on the olive drab overcoat
now used but made much more full in
the back by means of a pleat ! The
additional fullness is an advantage over
the present overcoat In that when the
wearer is mounted If the back of the
coat catches the saddle there is sufi-
cient material in the skirt to prevent 1T
from being pulled away from the knees.
The American soldier has had diff
Guilty for years in obtaining we'll fitting
trousers, especially for wear when
mounted. The quartermaster general
has approved Winters suggestion that
the olive drab breeches should be cut
with more fullness in the thighs and
more length in the back breadth. There
has been no effort to do anything with
the uniforms of officers, which were i'm
proved three years ago.

eide tonight in the presence of her

She demanded to know of him what she
could do He gave her an evasive an
swer, indicating that he was desirous
of getting rid of her. Before he could
stop her she placed half-pint bottle of
the poison to her lips and swallowed
most of the contents. She was hurried

Two Stockholders Take
Legal Action Against
WELSH Fargo Officials
NO DECISION YET

NEW YORK, July 26.-Dudley Evans,
president. and Homer B. Parsons. sec
retary of the Wells Fargo Express
Company, were made defendant today
in an action brought in the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn by Robert w. Pom
eroy and Albert Josephson. two stock
holders, for a peremptory writ of man
damus compelling them to submit to
an examination of the books of the
corporation. The plaintiffs said that
they represented 56 per cent of the
stock of the company. After hearing
the arguments the court reserved de-
cison.
Counsel for the plaintiffs declared
in his argument that they had received
interest of only s per cent, while they
had reason to believe 1T should be 40
per cent. Counsel also said that a com
mittee was recently formed to get in
formation about the affairs of the com
pany, but had received only an evasive
statement. He asserted that for the
last five years the corporation had been
under the domination of one man. He
said the surplus was stated to be $12,-
100000, when 1t was probably $4,000
600, and the amount of bonds was given
s $5,00o,O0o. when $10.000,000 would be
nearer correct.
The attorneys for the defense as
serted that the plaintiffs represent a
stock brokerage firm and wanted to
control the coming election of direc-
tors.
At every annual meeting of the COM
pany, it was said, full and correct
statements are issued as to the finan-
cial condition of the company. They
also contended that the charter of the
corporation had been obtained in Colo
RADIO, and that the court had no juris-
diction to enforce the inspection OF
books of company of another State.

New York Bankers Purchase Share

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALL

NEW YORK, July 26.-It was learned
this afternoon that J. S. Bache & Co.,

Gently allotted by the Treasury De-
partment to Samuel Byerly. an express
company's clerk In this city. Rache &

Through his knowledge of the pc
culiar status of the money market, BY

the new Panama canal bonds and all
they cost him was a two-eent postage
stamp, which was placed on the letter
he sent to Washington bidding for the
bonds. The price of the bonds has al
ready advanced to $104.40, which means
a profit Of $27,o24 for the clerk.

Pippy and Devine and the rather
positive action OF the committee left
Commissioner Moran in the air. But
it has been decided that he shall con-
tinue his connection with the work.
He will no longer be a Commissioner,
but he will act with the committee as
a sort of representative of the Mayor.
Mr. Phelan stated last night that
the exact nature of his work has not
yet been decided upon, but that he
would be given some work to be
designated later.
Another element of relief work
that found itself in the air by the
Dr. Devine. who represented the Red
Cross on the commission, resigned,
it was understood that his wish was
the commission, should take his place.
Mr.. Bicknell was sent here from Chi
cagO, where he is prominent in relief
work His compensation comes out
OF funds raised in that city.
He has been DR.. Devine's right
hand man here But the elimination
Of the committee left the Red Cross
without official representation. How
ever. this difficulty has been at least
partially overcome by making Mr..
Bicknell a sort of advisor of the COM
mittee AS in the case of Mr.. Moran
his duties have not as yet been very
clearly defined, but he will act in an
advisory capacity.
PHELAN FEELS SATISFIED.
James D. Phelan, chairman of the
executive committee, expresses his
satisfaction at the clearing in the af-
fairs OF relief and states that after in
corporation of the relief funds there
was nothing else to be done.
The work having been incorpo
rated, said Mr.. Phelan. logically
and legally the board of directors and
its executive committee become re-
sponsible for the conduct of its af-
fairs, hence it was incompatible with
the new duties of the corporation to
continue the commission. The work
was not incorporated for the purpose
of doing away with the commission.
That was an incident of the incor-
poration.
The members of the committee
cave each been assigned department.
of the work and each will be held
responsible to the general committee.
Each head will have under it men
who will be responsible to the de
partment head for their work This
fixes responsibility definitely.
"Mr. Spreckels, for example, will
have the department of camps He
will be responsible for food distribu-
ton and for camp work in general
He will employ such assistance as he
may need. His work will be largely

PARIS, July 26.-M Santos Dumont
unable TO find suitable ground for his
flying machine experiments. has with
characteristic energy solved the prob
lem in another manner. Hitherto he
has endeavored to acquire the necessary
momentum by towing his apparatus
some distance along the ground. The
space being limited, he now intends TO
use an inclined plane and sort of cata-
pult, the projectile being the machine
and himself.
This gun consists OF two tubes, one
within the other. The inner tube is
held back by powerful springs, while
the extremity OF the outer tube rests
against the flying machine near the
propeller.
When a button is pressed the inner
tube will be released and will strike the
machine with rorce nearly three times
that of the ascensional force of the pro-
peller.
