LOCALIZED BOSS FOR GOOD ROADS
BoNAPARTE WOULD HAVE ONE
ELECTED BY EACH PARTY.
TO SELECT ALL CANDIDATES
Thinks It Would Be An Improvement
on Nominating Conventions =
Would Not Restrict Independent
Nominations

Baltimore.-In an interview pub
lished Saturday, Secretary of the Navy
Charles Bonaparte suggested the estab-
lishment of legalized boss" in each
of the states and cities, the boss" to
be empowered to select the candidates
for the various elective officers.
thereby doing away with nominating
conventions. Declaring that he was
speaking seriously. Secretary Bona
parte continued:
1T is hard, indeed, often impossible,
to get the right men for public offices
to become candidates. Unfit candt
dates can be secured by the bushel.
Now, by legalized boss mean
an individual authorized on behalf Of
one of our parties to choose all candi'
dates of that party for eleven offices,
within designated territory.
"Of course. every facility should be
afforded for making independent
nominations, whether within the organ.
lied parties or without, SO that all cit
izens who may be dissatisfied for what
ever reason with the regular nomina-
tions. may be able to vote effectively
according to their convictions"
The reporter asked how Mr.. Bona.
parte would choose his proposed ''le'
galized boss"
HE ought to be elected annually"
said the secretary. ''by the legal voters
of his party, at a primary held under
all the sanctions of law, and at which
only this one Office. or. rather position.
should be filed. / likewise think 1t
probable that one of the persons who
have been known as bosses since
have known something about politics
would have been elected at such a pri-
mary.
Perhaps it might be wise to provide
that the 'nominator' or 'legalized boss
/ have suggested, should be himself
disqualified to hold public office. but
of this l am not sure. There are GER
tainly two sides to the question"

PARED WITH OTHERS.
LEAST DEATHS IN PRUSSIA
Death Rate In Our Army Shows Slight
Deerease-Tub,rcuIo Most Dead
ly Disease-More Medical Offices
Badly Needed.

Washington.-The report on the
work OF the medical department OF the
army by Surgeon General X. NJ. O'Reil-
ly. just made public. goes into that ser.
vice during the calendar year 1908, and
also compares the health OF the diifer-
ent armies of the world, as far as pos
sible. ...
The highest rate OF admission to the
sick report is held by the Dutch army.
whose rate is 1921 per thousand men.
with the American army ranking sec
ond with 1895. and the Russian army
holding the lowest rate of 3.sS per
thousand men.
The British army ranks FIRST in
death rate. with 7.l3 per thousand
men, the American army having the
next highest, 6.2s. The Prussian army
has the lowest rate, per thousand
men.
An important factor in judging the
relative healthfulness of the different
armies Is the average duration of each
case of sickness, the American army.
according to their standard, exceeding
all others except the Dutch and Ba-
varian.
The total number of admissions to
the sick report during the year was
73.742, equal to an admission rate of
! ,295.97 per thousand men, compared
with 1.354.S9 for the previous year and
1,093.01 for the sexennial period from
1898 to 1903.
The death rate was also much bet
ter than for the previous year, there
being 3GS deaths from all Causes. an
equivalent to 6.2S per thousand. as
compared with 6.75 for the previous
year.
As a cause of death tuberculosis led
with rate os .GS. slight increase as
compared with the previous year.
Pneumonia was second. rate 80.
In a chapter devoted to recruiting.
the report shows that as result of
the reduction of the minimum age for
enlistment from twenty-one years to
eighteen, there resulted an enlistment
of 1870 men under twenty years of
age.
Speaking of the health of the troops
In the Philippines. the report says
that all the rates, except the death
rate from disease, were lower than In
1904. tuberculosis alone caused nearly
fifty per cent. of the discharges and
more than twenty per cent. Of tho
deaths from disease.
Surgeon General O'Reilly states that
| the medical department Is very badly
| In need of officers and that unless Con
| gress comes to its assistance 1t will be
| impossible for the department to reach
| in high degree of efficiency or to es-
cape lamentable breakdown on tho
| occurrence of war.

DEADLY RAILROAD WRECK.
Forty-seven Killed On the Baltimore
G. Ohio.

Chicago.-More than one-half tho
passengers on an immigrant train on
the Baltimore 6 Ohio railroad were
killed or injured in collision Monday
between the passenger train and
freight near Woodville, Indiana. One
hundred and sixty-five passengers
were on the train, and OF these forty.
seven were either killed outright or
were burned to death in the fire which
broke out in the wreckage Immediately
after the collision.
The names of all the dead will prob
ably never be known. as forty-five OF
the bodies were consumed In the
fianiss, or were so badly burned that
Identification is impossible. Thirty
eight people were injured, and several
of these will die. Eighty others es-
capped unhurt, but lost nearly all their
baggage and clothing.
The disaster was caused by a blum
der of some employe Of the railroad
company, but just where the blame lies
has not been determined.

Coal Land Withdrawn.

Pueblo, Colo.-The local land Office
was ordered by telegraph on
Saturday by the commissioner
OF the General Land Office to
withdraw from entry $4,000 acres
of land in this district. pending
examination by the Geological Survey
for the purpose Of determining how
much of the land in question is under
laid with coal. This makes 100000
acres withdrawn in this district since
July 9th last. So great has become
the activity in prospecting for coal
and SO numerous have been the can
cellations of homestoads and timber
claims on account of>the discovery OF
coal, that the government is paying
particular attention to this portion OF
Colorado.

TROUBLE IN CUBA.
Red Hot Political Campaign causen Ri
otous Demonstrations.


Havana.-The political situation in
Cuba is growing hot. The Liberals are
not only criticising Governor MagooD
for his slowness in turning the Moder.
ates out Of Office, but are falling out
among thmselves. The campaign to
elect successor to former President
Palma has begun, and as 1t Is expected
that the election will be hLld next
June, and the Liberals are sure Of sue
cess, the contest for the nomination
will grow warm. American citizens
and many Cubans are egging on the
rivals to precipitate trouble that will
end both parties.
Demonstrations were made Saturday
night in the streets by the faction In
favor of Juan Miguel Gomez for Pres.
ident, and later by other Liberals sup
porting Senator Alfredo Zayas. the d.
vision no. being solely on the color
line, for both aspirants are white. al
though the negroes are mostly for Go
mez.
On the other hand, Juan Gualberto
Gomez, the negroes natural leader, is
for Zayas. who has the support OF the
older Liberals, the younger men seem
ing to prefer his rival. They nearly
created riot last night by shouting:
Death to Estrada Palma and all Mod
crates" Long life to Jose Miguel Go
mez."
Col. Jose Estrampes met them. his
pistol in hand, in front OF the Ingle-
terra, with the cry, Down with the
niggers." Friends carried him of bod
lily to save his life. Cries of Death to
,Estrampes; wen have the Jobs or
make this Santo Domingo" were set
up by the mob. and the police has hard
work to prevent serious trouble.
