important Task
Says New Branch in Army
Will Entail Considerable
Serious Work

Colonel Joseph w. Duncan, chief of
stan of this department, has been ap-
pointed TO the position of chief OF IN
1antry, orders having arrived yesterday
Tor MIN to proceed to Washington i'm
medlately to prepare for his new task.
Though the official notification of the
appointment came yesterday it has long
peen known that Colonel Duncan was
slated for the place The department
is one of the newest created and en-
braces large field. Colonel Duncan
VIII have to supervise the entire in
fantry force of the United States army,
reporting on its movement, progression,
remedies. defects and improvements
For several years there has been a
chief of artillery and a chief of en-
glneers, but it was only recently that
the positions of chief of infantry and
cavalry were created.
Colonel Duncan has been connected
with the army many years and recog-
nlzed as one of the best informed men
on military affairs in the United States.
lie was born in an army tent in Texas,
his father, Captain j. Duncan, being at
that time in command of small force
on the Mexican border. He was
brought up in the field and was given
his commission as second lieutenant in
the Twenty-first infantry October 1,
1873. He has seen active service in
Cuba and the Philippines.
The new branch that is about to be
created said he, will entail much
work and much serious thought, but I
believe will prove of great value to the
service. Such positions were necessary
for the infantry and cavalry depart
ments."
Colonel Duncan will leave for Wash

Duncan and Miss Carroll duncan ara a

markable courage to-day. and. not only saved
the $4,000 the woman demanded, but secured

Phipps was in the stores and had left her little
daughter in the machine The woman told tho
child that her mother was coming in a moment
and had invited her to take ride. Mrs PhipPe
was in a hurry and sprang into the auIoInoOlie
before she noticed the woman.
IF you make move I'll send you and your
daughter 10 eternity" said Mrs. Cones Too
frightened to move. Mrs. Phipps did as she was
bidden I'm desperate. and must have $1,000
at once" the woman added.
BY this time Mrs. Phipps had partly regained
her courage. q haven't that much money with
me- of course" she said. but l can get It by
going over to the bank
All right" Mrs. Cones replied. but don't
play any tricks on me, for I have here all the
material necessary to blow US all up She
opened large black handbag she carried and
displayed the two sticks of dynamite, one full
length and other broken of.
Mrs. Cones apparently was not crazy, and
Mrs Phipps made up her mind that she had TO
deal with a desperate woman She drove TO
the offices Of the International Trust Company,
saving she would go in there to get the money,
and left the automobile. Her little daughter
was in the car alone with Mrs Cones
Going inside the bank. Mrs Phipps quickly
told J r. Mcdonald, a special officer, of her
danger Mcdonald went out to the automobile
and assuring Mrs. Cones that Mrs Phipps
would be out in a few minutes. he took the
child with him into the bank
When the officer returned to the automobile
Mrs. Cones threw the dynamite at him but II
failed to explode. and he arrested her and
turned her over to the police.
After being placed under arrest Mrs Cones
did not lose her nerve. She gave no evidence
of insanity but said that she under the
influence of a hypnotist and that this explained
her action.
The woman went about carrying out her plans
with determination evidently born of despera-
ton. on Saturday she repeatedly telephoned
the Phipps home and called there in an effort 10
have an audience with Mrs Phipps. When the
calls were repeated to-day Mrs. Phipps became
alarmed and went automobiling in City Park to
avoid the woman.
At the American House It was said that Mrs
Cones had occupied a room there since Novem-
