OFFICERS PioUED AT WOOD
Ayres Makes Statement in West Point
Sensation .

West Point, N. Y, June 11.-Warn-
ings that his friendship for General
Leonard Wood would cost him his
commission in the United States army
have been received repeatedly by
Lieutenant Colonel Charles G. Ayres,
according to a statement which he
made recently. In defending his wife,
Mrs. Elizabeth Ayres, from criticism
by officers Of the military academy
and supporting her suit to collect
$100, 900 in damages from these Off
that he had been tried on many charg-
es and hat he has been told many
times that part of the animosity to-
ward him has been caused by his
friendship with General Wood. That
officer himself, Lieutenant Colonel
Ayres says, has for years warned him
frequently to be careful. The lieuten-
ant said that he regarded General
Wood as one of the ablest men in the
| country and that he was n of the
few officers who went to General
Woods camp to congratulate him
when he was promoted from colonel
to brigadier general.
The controversy at West Point
first attracted public attention at the
Easter parade of the cadets, when
Lieutenant Colonel Robert l.. Howsee
commondant of the cadets, sent a ser
geant to take away the cadets over
coats, which they had loaned to CIR
spectators during a shower. Officers
of the academy blamed Mrs. Ayres
for some of the criticism of the com
mandant's action and for some further
public notice taken of it. Mrs. Ayres
who then lived on the government
reservation, resented this and she lief
West Point to reside in Highlant
Falls, nearby.

FEDERATE CENTRAL REPUBLIC.
Plans Have Taken Definite Form
Convention to Be Held.

Plans Have Taken Definite Form
Convention to Be Held.
Plans for the federation of the five
Central American republics have at
last taken definite form. If the ideas
of those interested materialize a con-
gress will be held in Mexico City,
which will be attended by over 24OO
delegates. One hundred and fifty OF
these will be Central Americans now
resident in this republic, and the re-
mainder will be regularly appointed
delegates from each Of the five repub-
lies. DR.. Francisco Reyes, former min
lister to Mexico from Salvador, is the
leader of the movement. He will
shortly visit each of the Central
American republics to explain the
situation.
Lack of Official Character.
One drawback is the lack Of official
character which the meeting may
have to overcome. The leaders hope
they can prevail upon President Diaz
to call the meeting. While President
| Diaz has emphatically announced thai
| Mexico does not maintain the idea OF 6
prOtectorate for the settlement Of
Central American troubles, it is ar
gued that the mere calling of the
meeting would in no way nullif1
Mexico's previous declaration, ant
would give the assembly the desired
standing.
The question of federation coult
then be settled by the Central Ameri
cans themselves.

Laberge, municipal health officer, fav-

is no reason why horse meat should
not be placed on the market, especial

the French population in Montreal
would serve to make the project sue

Some one once asked slr Benjamis
Baker II in the matter OF cantalever
bridges he did not touch his cap to
China. Eyes. indeed" be answered:
bridges were built on that principle
In China many centuries ago" But be
did not call the Forth bridge a can
talever bridge; the Americans did that
for him. He used to call it ''con-
tinuous girder bridge" All bridges
built on the same plan by the Amer
leans, however, were called cantalever
bridges, SO that the one over the
Forth gradually became known by
the same term. 1t was only a new up
plication Of two-hundred- year-old
term. Cantalever is the old name for a
bracket, and the Forth bridge spans
are made up Of two brackets and a
connecting girder. He once gave a
delightfully."- simple explanation Of the
principle. Imagine" he said. two
men trying to shake hands across a
stream a little too wide for their hands
to meet. One man extends a walking
stick and the other grasps it, and 80
the stream is bridged. There we have
two arms or brackets and the connect
ing girder." And that is the Forth
