MUST Be FIT FOR RIDE
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE

Staff officers Think They Shouldn't
Be Included-Route for the

Washington, Sept 2S.--Maj. Will
liam II. Arthur and Maj. Francis A.
Winter, army surgeons, on duty at
the general hospital at Washington
barracks, have been appointed a
board to make the physical examina-
tons of the field officers on duty in
the war department who are required
to take the 15-mile test ride on Octo.

dent Roosevelt's order.
Every officer affected by the ordei

the test might endanger his life will

A second physical examination is to
be taken Immediately after the ride.
to make sure that the officers have
not injured themselves.
In the case of officers who fail in
the physical examination from causes
indicating permanent disability it is
expected that they will be ordered be.
fore retiring board. This order is
regarded by staff officers as bearing
upon them with undue severity. Many
are of sedentary habits and have been
performing duties which they assert
do not in the nature of things carry
them into the field in a campaign.
They further declare that President
Roosevelt never intended that they
shousd be called upon for such a test
as this. The presidents letter to the
secretary Of war refers only to off
GERS of the line" The general staff
and acting secretary of war, however.
having seen fit to enlarge the scope of
the presidents purpose by including
the staff officers in their own orders,
there can be no question of the legali-
ty Of those orders.

himself to prevent any knowledge of

CLOVER LEAF BUYS ALTON
DIRECTORS VOTE TO SIGN CON-
TRACT FOR PURCHASE.
Roads Physical Condition Found
Good-Unifcation of Shonts-Haw-
ley Properties viii Follow.

New York, Sept. 2S.-The directors
of the Toledo, ST. Louis & Western
railway at meeting here Friday
voted to sign contract for the pur.
chase of the Chicago & Alton railway
from the Rock Island interests, in &C.
cordance with the agreement that
such should be done provided the
Alton received immunity in connec,
ton with the Standard OIL rebating
investigation. Attorney General Bona.
parte recently announced that such
immunity would be granted.
Before the directors acted, com.
mittee submitted an exhaustive re.
port of the physical condition of the
road, which was declared to be highly
satisfactory.
Under the terms of the sale to the
Glover Leaf road, the Rock Island
interests will receive $6,3S0,0OO four
per cent. collateral trust bonds and
$4,l20,0O0 two per cent. collateral
trust bonds. .
The old Chicago & Alton board will
probably meet during the coming
week and resign in a body, after
which the new interest will assume
formal control. 1t is expected that
some unification of the so-called
Shonts-Hawley properties, namely the
Toledo, st. Louis & Western, Chicago
Il Alton, Iowa Central and Mime
apolis G. st. Louis roads, will speedily
follow.
1t is planned to make direct connec,
tons between the Iowa Central and
Chicago & Alton and the Toledo, St
Louis & Western road, thereby eff.
fecting a link with Minneapolis and
st. Louis. This will give the unified
system direct lines between Detroit
st. Louis and Kansas City, as we'll as
