ENLISTED MEN DISSATISFIED
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE
ARMY EXPLAINED.
War Department Contends That for
One Thing the Pay of Privates
Must Be Raised.

There is something wrong with the
army said Gen. Bell, chief of staff, in a
western speech recently, and that state
ment is being echoed in various bureaus of
the War Department. There are different
explanations advanced for that disquiet.ng
criticism but the weight of opinion at the
War Department Is that Secretary Taft
summed up the case when he remarked
that the trouble with the army was that
there was not enough of it.
The general staff has been compiling
some tables that bear out this statement.
and these will be made the basis for
strong representation of the needs of the
army to Congress at the next session.
For instance. there is a company of coast
artillery, by regulations required to number
100 men, which, according to the last re-
turn to the department. musters just eight
enlisted privates in its ranks. OF course
company drill with such a skeleton or
ganizaton is impossible. And this is only
one of a number of such orga nizatons,
mainly in the coast artillery, it is true, but
every branch of the service feels the same
drain.
Men Do Not Re-Enlist.
According to the statement, the men will
not re-enlist at the expiration of their first
terms of service Wages outside the army
are much higher that they attract the
most energetic soldiers into private life.
Never before have the recruiting officers
found their work so hard and Improbable.
The demands upon likely, young, adven-
turous men for the rapidiy-growng navy
has also developed a new competitor for
the recruiting sergeants.
special reason for the refusal of the
Coast Artillery men to re-enlist is that they
are obliged to do a large amount of me-
chanical work in caring for the comp icated
Notifications, dressed only in working over
allS or jumpers, and getting few opportuni-
ties to wear their soldiers uniform, which
is one source of pride with them and a
factor in attracting them into the army AS
called upon to do hard work which they
regard as unnecessary. Particularly do they
object to the long, hard and periodical prac-
tice marches which they are obliged to
make carrying the full heavy field kit
Many assertions are traceable to this dis
satisfaction.

WILL PROBABLY
IGNORE ORDER
Virginia Officials Do Not Take
Kindly to Ruling of the No
t0riouS Pritchard.
ASSUMES TOO MUCH POWER
GOVERNOR sWANsoN's VIEW OF
THE CASE.

Richmond, Va. July 2S.-The Times-De-
spatch. in an interview today with Gov
ernor Swanson of Virginia, gives his po-
sition regarding the railroad rate situa-
ton in the state. The governor says the
case in Virginia is different from that
in North Carolina. as no law establish
ing rates in this state has yet been per-
fected. and that the paramount authority
for fixing rates is vested in the cOrpOr-
alton commission, which Judge Pritchard
recently enjoined from publishing it's or
der for a uniform tWO-cent rate. The
governor says that under Judge Pritch-
ards injunction the commission was pre-
vented from ''perfecting the third act
necessary to fixing the rate (publica-
ton thereof and that thus there is no
two-cent law in Virginia today. Under
the constitution, said Governor Swanson.
in order for the commission to fix a rate
it must take three necessary steps, viz.
Give notice to the transportation COM
panies to appear; second. give hearing
and enter an order; third. publish the or
der four weeks before 1t can take ef-
feet.
Pritchard's Order Outrage.
The order of Judge Pritchard in the Vir-
ginia case is outrageous, says Governor
Swanson. He says the fixing of a date
by the corporation commission is leg
isiative act. and yet he restraints this leg
islatiVe body in Virginia from doing what
Is absolutely necessary TO complete an
act OF legislation under our constitution.
The corporation commission is paramount
TO the general assembly or house in flX-
ing rates II Judge Fritchard can en-
join the corporation commission from per
forming its duties in fixing a rate and
completing il, he can enjOin the leglsla-
ture; he can enjOin congress from passing
laws until he has examined and aScer-
tanned whether they are, In his judgment,
Just and constitutional.
IF this rule or order of his IS per-
nitted and sustained. il means the de-
struction of legislative bodies and means
that they shall become subject to the
courts It means the destruction of the
very foundations of free institutions.
FaVors ignoring Order.
Il have favored, and continue to favor,
ignoring this order of Judge Pritchard
prohibiting the corporation commission
from publishing their order as required by
the constitution and for the publication to
proceed and the act to be completed as
required by the constitution.
ITO acquiesce in the action of a federal
judge in arresting the legislative body
of state in their processes of enacting
legislation is destructive of state society
and all free institutions. This order OF
Judge Pritchard makes the Virginia case
broader and far more important than any
question of passenger rates.

AS HE HURRIES TO JOIN
HIS MOTHER IS ARRESTED.
Drove Automobile Past Speed Limit,
Says Policeman in Case Of
Harry Smith.

Harry w. Smith, jr., Is years old, of
1853 Ellwood avenue, was before Judge
Herr in the Second Precinct Police
Court this morning charged with vio-
lating the automobile speed law. He
was fined SIS after telling the judge
that he was going no faster than
twenty-five miles an hour. Young
Smith took exception to the statement
of Bicycle Policeman Bennett, of the
Fourth Precinct Station, who was tenn
porarily attached to the Second Pre-
cinct Station and who made the arrest
this morning in Washington venue
Bennett said hat the defendant was
going so fast that he was unabl to
get him until he went into a garage
at Washington and Hillside avenue.
When asked by the judge how fast the
defendant was going, Policeman Bon
nett said he thought about forty-five
mile an hour. >
Smith said his machine could not go
that fast, but acknowledged that he
was going at the rate of at least
twenty miles an hour. The necessity
for going so fast, he said, was because
his mother was an invalid, and he
was going on an errand and did not
want to leave her alone longer than
possible. 81
In paying the fine the young mar
took q. ten and a ive-dollar bill from
a roll and threw the money on the
desk in a that made the judge
glance up quickly, but nothing was
said and Smith left the court room.

Police Court, this morning, on COM
plant of Philip F.. Donnelly, of 565
Twelfth avenue who charged her with
using abusive language to him, creat-
ing a nuisance al his house and
threatening his children.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to
the charge, but after Detective Ser
geant Templeton, of Police Headquar-
ters, who lives in the adjoining house,

dress, had given condemnatory evil
dence, she was adjudged guilty and
escaped with a suspended sentence,

can at the windows of the house in
which the Donnellys lived. She was

SELLS AUTO LICENSES,
CAUGHT WITHOUT ONE.
Koehler's Machine Didn't Show Number
and in Consequence Fine Is
Imposed,

Charged with not displaying an au-
tomobile license on his car, Herman
Koehler, who himself sells hundreds
of metal license numbers to autoists at
S45 Broad street, was today fined $40
In the First Criminal Court by Judge
Howell, Koehler being represented by
his Joseph H. Parsons. No
little surprise was occasioned when the
police learned that an automobile
driven by Charles Schuyler, of 312 Belle
vile venue and found at Halsey and
Branford place by Bicycle Policeman
Mclaughlin, of the First Precinct sta
ton, without a license number, was the
property of the H. J. Koehler Com
pany.
Judge Howell himself was surprised
when he learned that Koehler owned
the machine which was not displaying
a license on the streets of the city, and
ordered that the complaint be made
against Koehler as owner of the ma
chine.
Koehler was West on business today,
and Parsons appeared in court to an
swer the charge. Policeman McLaugh-
lin said that on November 6 he saw a
machine in charge of Charles Schuyler.
in Halsey street, without a number and
arrested the chauffeur. The trial was
postponed several times until this
morning. Parsons claimed that his
firm sold many license numbers for au-
tomoblles. He also admitted that his
firm has FIVE separate licenses of it's
own, and that he was sure that the
machine which the policeman claimed
had no license must have left the shop
with one.
His contention was that the number
was painted on a pasteboard and that
the rain had evidently washed it off.
He said that the machine had been
suddenly called out of the shop to bring
in an automobile that had broker down,
and that early on the day in question
he had seen the number on the ma
chine. though it was on p~asteboard.
Mclaughlin stated that there was no
number at all on the machine, so Par
sons, answering for the owner of the
machine, was fined $40.

STEALS TRIPLES,
CONSCIENCE
SMITES HIM
Police Think Old Man Who
Says Assassins Trail.
Him Is Crazy.

Conscience-stricken because he had
stolen a comb and towel from a lodging
house in Washington street last night,
Charles Siglinger, 81 years old, sur
rendered himself to Market Policeman
O'Rourke this morning and confessed.
.O'Rourke turned the man over to De-
tective Sergeant Quinn at police head
quarters, who placed him under ar
rest. The prisoner claims that he is a
butcher and hat two years ago he
fell heir to $75, 900 and later he turned
the money over to his wife.
For some time he had been endeav-
orlng to get some of this money back.
Learning of this, members of his fam
lily sent men out to kill him, he claims,
and he is being trailed by these would
be assassins. The police think Siglin-
ger is insane.
When arrested only a dime was found
on him, which he claimed he received
for the sale of the stolen articles.

SHAKE-UP AT
HOSPITAL FOR
INSANE?
Resignation Of DR.. Hicks Re-
Veals Friction Among Staff.
He Won't Reconsider.

There is likely 10 be a shake-up in the
personnel of the medical staff at the
Essex County Hospital for the Insane in
Soual Orange avenue because of the fric-
tion that is alleged to exist among several
of the physicians.
This alleged friction was caused by the
recent resignation of DIR. William A. Hicks,
one of the house physicians. His services
are priced very highly by county authorl-
ties, and they are loath TO give him up.
His resignation, which first came up several
weeks ago, caused surprise. 1t was re-
ferred by the ~Freeholders to the commit
tee, with the request that they see if the
doctor could not, be induced to remain.
Chairman Scanlon, of the committee, re-
ported yesterday at a meeting of the COM
mittee at Overlook that DR.. Hicks had
told him that no inducement would suffice
for the withdrawal of the resignation.
The chairman said that DR.. Hicks stated
that the act was for the purpose of pro-
fessional Improvement, whereby he could
reach out for things higher. 1t is his
purpose to take a postgraduate course in
Europe, and then to open up an Office here
as an expert in nervous diseases.
Added to this discussion was one which
was by no means clear, relating to the
resignation of DR.. ]. o.. Gascon, one of the
hospital internes. who was appointed last
July. Mr. Scanlon stated that investiga-
ton showed that there had been friction
between Gascon and Hicks. and that when
the former heard that the latter had re-
signed he did likewise
DIR. Gascon was induced, however, to
Withdraw the resignation and remain with
the institution. Supervisor 0tterbein stated
that Indications pointed to serious friction
between Gasron and other members of the

RABBITS WERE
THICK ENOUGH
TO KICK
Fireman Feeding Company
for Week as Result of
One Days Trip.

As the result of Fireman Elmer
Gardeners shooting and stonethrowing
expedition into the wilds of Warren
County all of the members of Engine
Company No. 4, of which he is a MEM
Der, are now eating rabbit served up
in different styles every day, and the
supply is likely to last a week or more.
Elmer" as he is known to the MEM
bers of the department, was born at
Harmony, Warren County, and spent
his early youth in that section of the
State. and became thoroughly familiar
with all of the haunts of the wild rab-
bit. Every year since he has been in
this city Fireman Gardner spends a
few days hunting in the fall at his
birthplace, and never fails to return
with a big bag of all kinds of game.
Last Sunday he started for Harmony,
and on Monday, arrayed in his hunting
gear, began his expedition with several
guns, and apparently a good supply of
ammunition. 1t was not until he OPEN
ed his cartridge belt on the game
grounds, that he realized that Instead
of having a big supply of cartridges he
had only a few, and it did not take him
long to use them up.
Not caring to return with only q cou-
pie of rabbits, he began to throw stones
at the rabbits which he saw scamper-
ing over the fields. His aim surprised
him. as he found that almost every
time he threw a stone, so thick were
the rabbits, he was sure to hit one.
Finally they appeared so fast and
close to him that he lad to kick them
out of his way. By nightfall he found
that he had killed 1875 rabbits, which he
concluded was enough to satisfy the
demands of all of his friends. He ar
rived home Monday night, n since
then all you nave to say to Elmer is
rabbit, and out goes his foot kicking at
