SECRETARY OF WARS SPEECH
Mir. Taft Tells Ohio Diners Why Our
 Army Should Have Attention.

Columbus, O., April B. William II Taft, secretary of war, rounded out a busy day by speaking at the annual dinner of the Columbus board of trade Some of his time was spent in confer. ence with A. l. Vorys, manager of his canvass for the presidential nomina- tion, and other Republican leaders of the state.
 The annual dinner of the board of trade at Memorial hall was attended by about 1,200 diners. and the galleries were filled with women. Secretary Tafts subject was ''The Army of the United States" He said:
 We need an army for three pur- poses-first, as essential to any satis- factory system of national defense; second, as an indispensable instrument in carrying out our established inter national policy, and, third, for the sup pression of insurrection and civil strife.
 How could we maintain the Monroe doctrine if it should ever be questioned in the strenuous race for trade and for colonization? Could we do it otherwise than by an expeditionary force to the country invaded for the purpose of as- stSting the local forces in repelling the invader? It is true that our navy. en- larged as if is, would discharge d most useful function in the defense of the invaded country, but it could make lit tie headway against hostile forces landed therein, and after that the only method of asserting our international policy would be by the use of the army of the United States.
 "Of course there i no probability of recurrence of great civil war, but should the forces of anarchism and socialism and revolt against organized government manifest themselves a we'll organized militia would be most neces- sary. Suppression of local disturbances is to the regular army an unpleasant duty, and it is one to which the presi- dent would summon regular troops with great reluctance An increase in the efficiency of the militia may well relieve the regular army of any such duty. The moral effect of regular army, however. to discourage lawless- ness is invaluable

The following remarkable statement was recently made by l.. T. Cooper. It concerns the preparation which has been so widely discussed throughout the country during the past year, and has sold in such enormous quantities in leading cities:
 "It is now a well-known fact that wherever l have introduced my New Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo- pie have brought internal parasites, or tapeworms, to me. In many cases these people did not know the nature of the parasite, and were consequently extremely nervous until I explained the matter to them. In some cities so many have had this experience that the public generally became alarmed.
 T take this opportunity of explain ing what these creatures are, and what l have learned about them in the past.
 "Tapeworms are much more con- mon than would be supposed I ven- ture to say that ten per cent. of all chronic stomach trouble, or what is known as a rundown condition, is caused by them. An individual may suffer for years with one of these great parasites and mot be aware of it

Stocks Have Depreciated.

Another feature of the proffered set. clement which is giving Mrs. Wander. bilts friends much concern is that il is offered in stocks and bonds which one year ago might have been sold fol S1,500,000, but which now would bring scarcely two-thitds of that sum.
 Neither Mrs. Vanderbilt's lawyers nor those representing Mir. Vanderbilt would announce the name of the co respondent or correspondents mentioned in Mrs. Vanderbilt's bill of complaint.
 The summons and complaint were served upon Mir. Vanderbilt in his of fees at the Gr~Gd Central railroad station Thursday of last week. On the same afternoon, 1t is stated by em, ployees in an apartment house in Lex ington avenue, man called upon q woman known there as Mime.

DIVORCE SUIT RUSHED.
Taking of Testimony Begun In

pecteo 10 Be In Judges Hands Be-
 fore Millionaire Reaches England
 Papers Served on Woman.
 New York, April 3.-The first testi mony in the divorce suit of Mrs. Elsie French Vanderbilt against her bus band, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, which was filed in the supreme court, was taken before Referee David Mcclure.
 Howard Kempster the personal valet of MT. Vanderbilt, was the first wit ness called. The fact that the valet did not depart with his employer on the Mauretania caused some comment but his appearance before the referee would indicate that the reason he did not do so was the desire of the parties ! to the action to rush matters through Whether he appeared under subpoena or by arrangement was not shown.
 When the hearing was adjourned none of the persons interested would talk for publication, but it was admit. ted that the evidence and recommends. tions of the referee probably would be in the hands of the court before MT. Vanderbilt reaches the other side on the steamship Mauretania.
 Unusual Haste In Case.
 Usually in cases of this sort the talk. ing of testimony does not begin for weeks after the appointment of the referee and then is allowed to drag. The explanation for the haste shown in expediting this case given by those most closely interested is that Mrs. Vanderbilt is anxious that it should be disposed of at once.
 Kempster refused to see callers. He has arranged to leave for Europe as soon as his services in the present case are no longer needed.
 It is reported that Mir. Vanderbilt, the wealthiest young man in America, has offered his wife $1,500O00 in set tlement of all claims arising out of he1 suit for divorce.
 That he will defend himself is cer tain, according to the legal papers al ready on record. Such defense might be merely formal and absolute secrecy maintained as to the actual testimony. The defense which he threatens. how. ever, to prevent d large claim being made against his fortune would make all the facts public and, according to his friends, would stir American soci. ety to it's depths.
