COATESVILLE. Pa, Jan. 19.-This
town has an Anti-Appendicitis club
thu avowed object of which is the pre-
Vention of the disease, which has be-
come alarmingly prevalent here. One of
the requirements of membership is a
liberal consumption of olive oil.
A barrel of the oil had been ordered
by the club, and a bylaw provides that
each member shall partake of table
spoonful before each meal-as neces-
Sity, not a luxury.
F. J.. Campbell is president, James
Jackson secretary and Frank SOule

100 prominent men of the town have
Joined.
Within the last two weeks twelve
cases of the disease have developed

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 19.-The
Friday TO Monday adjournment has
given opportunity for many members
of the Legislature to visit their homes,
and there is absolutely nothing doing
The only members who are tied up and
held here are those from Southern
California, the irregular train service
on account of storms preventing them
from taking advantage of the three
days adjournment.
Next week should be a lively one
i'm both senate and assembly. The
first special order of business in the
lower house is scheduled for 1870
Monday, and this will bring on a lively
debate.
BeCkctt's concurrent resolution call
ing for a joint committee of inVesti-
cation into the courses bringing about
the fuel famine is to be discussed.
When Grove l.. Johnson stopped de-
bate Friday and had the resolution
made special order for Monday morn
ing he was condemned, but his reason
for the delay is that he wanted every
member of the assembly present if pos
sible when the resolution was TAX
en- up.
I'm both senate and assembly next
week the japanese resolution will be
heard and discussed. How this will
be settled is probematical as the i'm
pOrtant part of the resolution refers
to instructing Attorney General Webb
to assist i'm defense of the school board
i'm the action brought in the federal
court to compel the board to admit
Japanese to the public schools. 1t is
contended by several members that
the governor can do this without in
struction from the legislature and this
may be the final outcome of the mat
ter.
The senate committee on elections,
of which George S. Walker is chair
man, will meet Monday for the con-
sderation OF a number of primary
election law bills introduced in the
past week. 1t is the opinion of the
committeeman that primary election
law bill will be drawn up i'm committee,
owing to the faulty construction of
the bills introduced The three bills
introduced are practically similar

fire control systems, adequate subma-

He says that it would be suicidal for
the most powerful navy of the world to
engage the seacoast defenses of San
Francisco, or to run by them if they
were adequately manned, and the aux
iliaries mentioned were restored.
LAS a matter of fact" he says, there
are not nearly enough men to man the
existing defenses. Even the pending
artillery bill would not provide a suffi-
cient number"
He urges the creation of a reserve
composed of men returned to civil life
from the army.

Hills Policy Short-Sighted

Details of the testimony in which
Commissioner Lane indicated that he
was most especially interested and
concerning which he questioned wit
nesses closely related to the policy al
legged to be fathered by James j. Hill
of allowing cars to accumulate on the
side tracks and then running long
trains across the continent at a very
slow rate of speed
The manufacturers stated that this
policy, short-sighted and unjust to the
shippers, has caused the car shortage
to be felt much more than it would
otherwise have been.
Mr.. Lane was also greatly interested
in the testimony relating to the en-
forced observance by the lumber man
ufacturers of certain routings for their
shipments provided by the railroad.
The millmen said that 50 per cent Of
the cars used by the Northern Pacific
for the transportation of lumber traf-
fic belong to other railroads. All of
these cars have to be returned east by
the same route whence they came,
and unless the millmcn have shipments
going in that direction they have
found IL necessary to adopt the policy
of holding the cars and paying dcmur-
rage charges until they can secure an
order for shipments going to points
along the line of the railroad owning
the cars.
In other words, cars have been so
scarce that it has been better To receive
cars at random destined To all parts
of the country and make the orders fit
the cars, even although large demur-
rage charges We're involved, than it
would be to release the cars and await
the delivery of suitable car
Certain witnesses charged discrimina-
ton as to the long and short haul ON
the part OF the Northern Pacific. All
agreed that it now takes from sixty to
a hundred days for the delivery of a
car from Puget sound to minnesota
transfer points, while before the Notrh-
ern Pacific ana other western lines
passed into the control of Mr.. Hill ship
ments were delivered i'm an average
time of three weeks.
The Northern Pacific railroad will
offer the testimony Of Third Vice Prosi-
dent Levy, Traffic Manager Woodwork
and Assistant General Superintendent
Palmer and superintendent Albee at the
Seattle meeting Tuesday The lumber
men will present four or five additional
witnesses.

FUNSTON URGES
MORE ARMY PAY
BROADER GENERAL DRAWS
STRONG CONTRAST
"Hod Carriers and Bricklayers Receive
More Pay Than Officers of
Twenty Years Service"
He Asserts
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON Jan. 19.-"In San
Francisco a bricklayer, plasterer or
plumber receives more pay than cap
tain in the army of twenty years serv-
ice stationed at any of the posts near
that city, even considering the latter's
quarters at the Communication of his
grade A hod carrier in the same city
receives more pay than a second lieu
tenant"
This statement is made by Brigadier
General Funston, commanding the de-
partment of California, in his annual
report to the secretary of war. He
made a strong plea for an increase of
army pay; not for the officers just en-
! tering the service, but for those who
have served long. He says:
mo one believes that army officers
should attempt to compete i'm display
with persons of wealth, but they should
be able to live decently without being
continually harassed by fear of debt"
Continuing, he says:
"Of even greater Importance than the
question of officers pay is that of the
enlisted men of the service, for the
army will always have all of the officers
authorized by law, regardless of pay
but the very existence of the army is
threatened if wages in civil life con-
tinue to rise unless steps are taken to
increase the pay of the rank and file.
THE wonder is that with the wretch
ed pay offered the army obtains as good
men as it does. But few of them re-
enlist after their first term of service,
and many of them desert I'm the first
few months.
Soldier Is Most Poorly Paid
"rhe statement that the United States
soldier is the most poorly paid man i'm
the country today cannot be refuted.
A so per cent increase i'm the pay of nom
commissioned officers and n like in
crease for privates after their first en-
listment should work a revolution"
General Funston recommends that all
construction ""rk on the army posts
be carried ON by the labor of federal
prisoners, as was done ON the barracks
on Alcatraz island.
General Funston does not wish any
more big guns i'm San Francisco bay.
