PROMOTION FOR HALL
The Leavenworth Colonel Is Made a
Brfgadier General.

Fort Leavenworth. Kan, March a.
The definite news that Colonel Chas.
B. Hall is to be promoted to be briga-
der general was conveyed to the vet
eran officer at his residence quarters
at Fort Leavenworth late Friday after
noon. Colonel Hall was hopeful of
receiving the promotion, but had not
heard anything for some time in rela-
ton to it.
Il am very much sratified to receive
the promotion" he said. 81 did not
want to retire with out serving as a
hrigadier general. AS to my plans
there is nothing definite except to obey
any orders that are given to me-"
While Colonel Hall did not say so,
1t Is known that he desires to remain
at Fort 1eavenworth as commandant
of the military services school until he
reaches the retiring age in April, 1908
1t is generally understood that he will
remain at this post, as the military au-
thorities at Washington desire a brig
adler general in station at Fort Leav-
enworth- Colonel Hall came to Fort
Leavenworth in command of the
Eighteenth infantry in March 1905
and took command of the post Later
he succeeded General Bell as com
mandant of the military schools when
General Bell left for Washington last
summer to become chief of the staff
of the army.
Colonel Hall is one of the few civil war
officers left in the service. He left school
10 nSht IOr MS country as a boy and was
a staff officer in General Sheridan's army
at the battle of Winchester. Colonel Hail
was twice brereted for meritorious ser
vice, once for gallantry In the battle of
Sabine Cross Roads. La. and again for
sallantry at the battle of Pleasant Hill,
La
He was commissioned a lieutenant in
the regular army January, 2. 1861. and in
a few weeks he will have been in the reg
ular service forty years aside from three
years fighting as volunteer. Colonel

An interesting discovery has been
made by the well-known Heidelberg
scientist. Prof. Klaatsch, who is now
pursuing anthropological studies in
Australia.
professor SAYS that while examining
some Australasian natives arrested Tor
killing a white man in Port Arthur, he
found that one of the men had rect
and hands of exactly the same shape
and appearance as those of monkeys.
The natives, on his inquiries, stated
that in the hitherto unexpiored re-
gions between the rivers Daily and Vic
foria numerous people have similar
hands and feet, and otherwise bear
strong resemblance to large monkeys
This is the first time that these char
acteristics have been discovered in a
human being er
prof. KIaatch Is now starting for
the region where these natives are to
be found, in order to verify the above
statement. The discovery has awak-
