GEN. BELL EXPLAINS
Major General Sends Long
Telegram to Mr.. Taft.
NOTHING WRONG IN ARMY"
Says RepOrters' Synopsis Gave False
Impression of His Talk at Student
Officers OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Pay Is Inadequate, and Shortage
of Officers Is Apparent.

Leavenworth. Kan, July MAI. Gen.
J. Franklin Bell. chief Of stan OF the
army, was asked to-day regarding an
article published quoting him as saying
20 the student officers at their gradua-
ton that there is something wrong in
the army" when he replied:
Il have sent the Secretary of War
message explaining that the impression
given by the article published was erro-
neous."
His telegram to Secretary Taft, sent
this evening. modifying the statement in
his address and explaining unsatisfactory
conditions In the army, says in part.
I never said there was something
wrong in the army, but had reference to
failure Of soldiers to re-enlist and diff
Guilty in getting efficient recruits for the
army, also to shortage Of officers for duty
with troops, owing 10 necessity for so
much detached service.
Il remarked that the War Department
was aware that there was some discon-
tent in the army and a feeling that some
thing was wrong but thought it knew the
causes and would seek to correct them.
The causes did not mention, but had in
mind inadequate pay and insufficient num-
Der Of officers.
"A synopsis Of my remarks, not pur-
porting to be verbatim, was very well pre-
pared from long hand notes by a reporter
present and sent to the local papers,
which detached one sentence, but slightly
varying from what l said, about the mid
die of the reporters synopsis quoted, and
printed it as the opening sentence of my
remarks, and prefixed it with headlines
which completed the false impression that
was daTkly limiting at some mysterious
trouble in the army. | know Of nothing
wrong in the army Which cannot be cor
rected without legislation or which is not
known 10 the public.
1T is notorious that the pay is inaGe-
quate TO attract sufficient recruits under
present prosperous conditions of the coun-
try. I believe a greater number of Off
GERS is essential to the efficient perform
ance Of duty required. but do not feel
there is any immediate need of a larger
army than the President is authorized to
raise under existing law. Larger pay is
unquestionably needed to fill the ranks,
which are now thousands Of men short
of authorized strength.

Appears Against Men HE Says "Did"

to Win 100000.

Pittsburg, July Claiming that he lost
$4,000 through a bunko game, d. c. Davis,
a millionaire oil operator and director in
the German National Bank of Marietta,
Ohio, appeared before Alderman Toole
this afternoon as the chief witness against
". ]. C'Jake'D Adams and Frank B. Ran
ger, OF Pittsburg and Frank Thompson,
of New York, who, he alleges. bunkoed

Davis declared that he was taken to a
house just off Columbus avenue. New
York, last September, and there relieved
of 81, 010 by means Of a brace" faro
game, when Thompson, the dealer, had
promised 70 manipulate the cards so that
he would win 100000. Two weeks later
he tried the game again and lost $26, 600.
On November 20, after he had lost 81, 900.
Davis chartered a special train and made
a record-breaking run to Marietta, where
he secured $4,000 more. This he also lost
in the same way.
He said that John E. Curry, of Ma
rietta, had first introduced him to Ran
ger, and then exposed the swindle rather
than see the witness lose any more
money. Curry corToboTated the testimony
of Davis. Alderman Toole, however. said
that he would probably have to dismiss
the charges because Of lack OF jurisdic-
ton, but would reserve his decision for a
week.
Former Mayor w. Z. Sykes, of Ma

after the hearing. charged by Ranger
with conspiracy to indict Davis stated

RBVOLUTIONIST IN MISSOURI
Antonio Villareal Said to Have Put

Escaped Prisoner, Wanted by Mex

Antonio Villareal, the Mexican Tevolu-
zionist, whose person the government Of
Mexico tried to secure through extradi
ton proceedings some months ago. has
again put in an appearance. Villareal has
been located in Missouri-just where the
officials refuse 10 state. Vnlarears escape
from the clutches Of an immigrant in
spector early in February caused Joy in
government circles.
The State Department had Nillareal on
its hands for a while. Mexico longed for
his return to his native heath. officials
representing that government We're will
ing to use almost any means to attain
that end. Nillareal was reluctant TO go
home. He fought extradition from the
United States and won out Mexico ar
gued that Villareal belonged to the classes
excluded by the American immigration
laws A change Of jurisdiction in Villa
reals case became necessary.
One dark night the United States mar
shall who had been keeping Villareal in
tow on instructions from the State De-
partment, placed him in the custody of
Federal immigrant inspector. All this
happened away Down in Texas. The in
spector got Villareal all right, but for
some reason OF other did not hang on to
him. The officer turned his back. and
Villareal flew
When Villareal was in charge Of his
captors he used to tell them stories about
what would happen TO him If he was
taken back to Mexico. He talked about
being boiled in oil and strung W by the
thumbs. One Of tine Mexican authorities,
in burst of confidence, also told that il
would be all up with him if he went
back home. Vnlarears troubles got on
the nerves of the immigration officials.
When the Federal authorities heard of
Villarears escape they felt good Then
orders We're issued that he must be cap

suspicion that the government did not
mean exactly that.
Antonio Villareal was the biggest thing
in the shape of a white elephant" that
ever fell into the hands of the govern
ment officials. They believed that 10 give
him up to Mexico meant his demise. They
were convinced that he was a political
refugee.

CHILD'S FATHER SUSPECTED
Thomas Boylan, Whose Daughter
Was Murdered, Arrested.
Police Can Get Nothing from Him TO
Confirm Suspicion, SO Let
Him Go.

New York. July Thomas Boylan.
father Of Viola Boylan. the eight-year-
old girl whose body was found in a coal
bin last week at 229J Second avenue,
where she lived with her parents, was ar
rested to-day on suspicion OF having
caused her death. When arraigned in
the Harlem Court Magistrate Whitman
discharged him because there was no
evidence on which 10 hold him. Boylan
is an epileptic and ne and his wife have
assured the police that they will remain
within reach.
Boylan's arrest was brought about by
Capt Walsh and his local sleuths. The
central Office men, headed by Leuts.
Perosino and Carey. have been securing
the Italian tenements for Tony Cassielli
and Charles Ruggio, who lived next door
to the BOylan tenement, and who disap-
peared the day Viola was first missed
These men had been seen by Viola's sister
to follow the girl and annoy heF.
Mrs. Boylan and her daughter went TO
police headquarters to-day to complain to
Commissioner Bingham about the police
work in the case. Her grievance is that
they have not yet found the murderer
The father was left alone in the apart
ment, and Capt. Walsh sent two plain
clothes men to interrogate him. The de-
tectiyes had some difficulty in making
him answer their questions. They also
found some spots on the floor OF his bed
room and near the kitchen sink which
TO them looked ike blood. More was
found on the mattress Of the bed They
finally made him strip. and more spots
We're discovered on his clothes.
Boylan had little to say, except that he
was an epileptic. and that the spots might
be blood for all he knew, but he had not
killed his daughter Assistant District
Attorney Keogh ordered his discharge
This leaves the case where it stood be-
fore.
