Surgeon General Rixey has. there. lore, worked out the details of a plan for the organization of a corps of trained nurses. such as the army has.
 Af1oat these nurses will necessarily be men, but in the navy hospitals ashore, where the more difficult. lin. gering and dangerous cases are treat. ed, women nurses will be employed. For $45,O0O Admiral Rixey seels that he can make a respectable beginning in the organization of such corps. and he is seeking support from the secretary of the navy and the presi. dent in securing the necessary ap- propriations by congress.
 The first official suggestion of the employment of women in the project. ed naval nurse corps was preached by the surgeon general in an address delivered by him on the occasion of the graduation of the nurses class at the Garfield hospital in this city re- gently.

SURGEON GENERAL RIXEY
 WANTS NURSES IN NAVY
c cITRGEoN GENERAL RIxEY is pre-.

rURGEON GENERAL RIXEY is pre- S paring to make strong appeal to congress at its next session to correct A lamentable deficiency in the medical branch of the naval service. The sur geon general points out that the Amer ican navy is without single trained nurse. No matter how severe the ill., ness of the officers and sailors, nor how grave the injury or wound re- ceived in the line of duty, the Amep ican bluejacket must rely for his care in time of trouble upon hospital steward and an apprentice.
 In ordinary times the ships sur geons are often taxed to care properly for the normal number of sick ans in- iured aboard ship. When there is an epidemic of fever or measles (the lat ter often serious malady among male adults), such as occurred not long ago on the battleship Connecticut, 1t has been found impossible to give the invalids the necessary scientific and careful nursing required.

 At the head of delegation of youngsters he visited the ship when it next came into port and with duo ceremony presented the library, con sisting of 45 volumes, to the skipper. The presentation speech was made by MT. Roosevelt When reminded few days ago of this event by an old friend the president said he remembered 1t perfectly and that frequently he had wondered if any of the officers or crew of the Rival were still alive, and, if so. if they remembered his speech.

MANY stories were circulated in 1VA Wall street as to the causes of the retirement of John w. Gates and the coterie of Westerners who plunged So heavenly in stocks.
 The trend of most of these stories Is to the effect that while Mir. Gates is still worth millions in common with many of the rich men in Wall street, he was caught in the big decline of March 14 last
 The heavy liquidation in many of the low-priced stocks that took place recently is looked upon as evidence of Gates house cleaning before his final retirement from the street
 According to story circulated in the street, MT. Gates was very large holder of Tennessee Coal & Iron, Re public Iron & Steel and United States Realty & Improvement. These stocks he is said to have accumulated with a view to holding them as permanent Investments.
 During the recent decline 1t Is be- heved that these stocks were freely used as collateral in his other stock market transactions and when the big slump came the bankers whom MT. Gates approached to assist him in ar ranging his affairs over the crisis sug- gested that he was rich enough to re- tire from hazardous speculation and that his retirement would be made a condition of banking aid
 MT. Gates agreed that this was so, and. 1t is said, readily acquiesced to the arrangement.
 AS matter of fact, MT. Gates was thoroughtly disgusted with some of his customers. who had failed to re. spond to his call for margins.

News of Greek Royal Engagement

New York: Sun.
There was a curious mixup in a
roval telegram announcing the recent
eneaeement Of Prince George OF
Greece to the Princess Marie Bona

Of Denmark is staying at Aarhus.
Prince George Of Greece sent him a
telegram about the engagement. The
telegram was addressed to "Prlnce

There was no punctuation in the
address, and the dispatch was deliver
ed to a merchant Of the name OF
Prins, who was staying at the Royal
Hotel. Aarhus. and who on var1ous
occasions had received orders for bley-
cles from Prince George.
Mr.. Prins was naturally astonlsh-

Prince George, but wired him a cour-
teous message Of congratulatlon. 1t
was not until this telegram was re-
ceived by the Greek Prince that the
error was discovered, and the tele-

Horse"Bit Diamond From Girls Ring

New York World.
One of William Lockwood's hors-
es. on mis- farm near Bloomingburs'
is great pet of the family. AS Miss
Wilhelmina Lockwood was pattlng
the horses nose recently, it licked
and then playfully bit at her hand.
AS luck would have it the horse 5
teeth cut clean from its setting the
diamond in Miss Wilhelmina's en-
gagement ring. Naturally. the young
woman was deeply distressed. Her
father and the farmhands searched
the stall, and most carefully, the
horses mouth, but the diamond was
not found.
A dreadful alternative presented
itself; the diamond cost $3.50, and
Miss Wilhelmina's finance cannot
afford to buy many such. Lockwood
had been offered 1925 for the
horse. and as mas been told the fam
lily is very fond of it. 1t was decld-
ed to sacrifice the horse, when the
| diamond was seen cleaning in the
iron manger.

was talking to a deaf old man in a

leaning on a cane and shouting to

was saying: !

A SURPRISED Gamekeeper.

Bishop Talbot, long and lovingly

could shoot straight, and ride, and

England, and he himself IS warmly

that the estate, which was one OF
great size, was noted for its game
preserves. and so he signifed desire
to 90 out and shoot, whereupon nls
host promptly assigned to him the
head gamekeeper, and the two sailed
forth.
The head gamekeeper could not
quite believe that bishop could shoot

The Senator's Will Go to Brownsville.

It has practically been settled
that the senate committee on mili-
tary affairs will 90 to Brownsville,
Texas. IN prosecuting che investi-
cation into the shooting up of
that town by ruffians, believed to
have been negro soldiers of the
Twenty-fifth infantry. While no
date has been fixed for the trip,
it is understood that the commit
tee will leave Washington about
the middle Of April. The COM
mittee desires to personally in
spect the situation there to get an
idea of how the shots we're fired
on the night Of Augusts13 and to
locate the houses which were fired
into during The rioting.
The testimony of witnesses
will also be taken.
The suggestion of the Browns
vile trip came from Senator
Frazier, who is insisting that the
affirmative side Of the issue be
developed with as much regard
for detail as has been displayed
BY Senator Foraker in proving
that the discharged negro soldiers
had nothing to do with the affray.
