NEW PLAN
FOR MEDICAL CORPS
Bill EmbOdieS Ideas Clean
ed From Watching Japan
csc During War.
Measure Gives Doctors
Greater Authority and
Corresponding Rank.

Charging that the medical department
OF ths United States army in the civil
ana Spanish wars stands convicted on
its own record as a hopeless failure.
Major Louis Livingstone Seaman, of
New York, who from time TO time has
attracted notice by his criticisms of
the medical methods OF the American
army, is in Washington in the interest
Of a bill which is intended greatly to
enhance the efficiency OF the medical
department. Representative Cocks OF
New York has introduced the measure
IN the House.
While in some respects the bill is
similar to the one that had been pend
ing throughout the ses sion for increas-
ing the efficiency Of the Army Medi-
Ca Corps, it is more comprehensive. IT
makes provisions for proper sanitation
in case Of war. makes the medical de-
partment independent Of the quarter
masters department for the transporta-
ton of medical supplies. makes the med
zeal department strictly responsible for
sanitation. and gives the medical Of
ficers rank commensurate with their inn
uortant duties, increases the strength
Of the Medical Corps, provides for spe-
Clal medical inspectors, provides for
department OF pharmacy, and otherwise
is designed 20 protect the army, and
especially the rank and file from the
V1Vages Of disease in war. Under the
biz the chief Of the Medical Corps would
be "a major general.
Dr. Seaman has seen much OF the Far
last, and was an observer OF the med
icaI methods Of the Japanese army in
the recent war with Russia. It was
this experience that converted him alb
s0lutely TO the idea that the health or
an army is the paramount issue In war.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON
OUT AGAINST BRYAN
Endorsement by Minnesota
Committee Places Him il
Nomination Race.

ST. PAUL, March 1T is CONCEDED
here that the action OF the Democratic
State committee yesterday ia indor5ins
Gov. John A. Johnson for the Presi-
Dental nomination instead Of w. J.
Bryan. has placed Governor Johnson
squarely in the race. despite former as
surances that he was not candidate.
1t is significant. political leaders say,
that Frank G. Day, state chairman aad
private secretary to Governor Johnson,
who presided at the meeting. voted
each time for the Johnson proposition.
This leads to the belief that the ac-
ton of the committee will not be dis
tasteful to the governor, or perhaps
that he anticipated IL.
The Bryan men made vain efforts to
stem the Johnson tide IN the meeting.
They were beaten In fixing the appor-
tionment, whipped IN seating their dele
gates, and completely outnJimbered and
overwhelmed when Martin . Brien,
delegate from CTOokston, presented ne
name Of Johnson.
The johnson resolution carried by a
vote OF IS 10 q. The Bryan men insist
ed on a roll call and declared they
would not be bound by the action OF the
committee. They declared ngnt would
be made throughout the State to secure
Bryan delegates 20 the national con-
Veation instructed for Bryan. a meet
ing OF Bryan adherents held after the
committee meeting outlined plan Tor
carrying the fight into every precinct.
There was some cor -rCversy about
proxies on technical questions. The
Bry8n-Johnson feeling entered into only
one Of them perhaps, when James Mana
han, SIR. BTyan's personal representa-
tive, was not allowed a vote, after nav
ing received a proxy by wire from q Du-
luth delegate.

ASKING BIDS FOR
DREDGING HARBOR
WILMINGTON THE SCENE OF
BIG OPERATIONS
Local Company Will Exoavate Mile
Channel, Build Docks and Admit
Ocean Shipping Within
Year

Dredging for Wilmington harbor, 1t
is thought, will be started within three
months.
Bids are being asked by the Los
Angeles Harbor company for dredging
a channel mile long in the west basin.
September 10. or thereabouts, the con-
tracts will be let.
The definite establishment Of harbor
lines has removed the last obstacle to
going ahead with the improvements
which will cost millions.
Commercial interests have been walt
ing on Washington to fix the lines SO
that plans could be put through for
wharfage and other details. Now this
is settled.
The company's channel will be twen-
ty feet deep at low tide and 220 feet
wide at the surface. 1t will extend
from the present turning basin north
west into the west basin of the harbor
and then north along the west side of
the established harbor lines to Bixby' s
slough.
With this channel open much ocean
shipping can be admitted within a
year, and 1t is proposed to install docks
west of the present town of Whining
ton.
silt from the channel will be used
in making land between the west har-
Dor line of the west basin and the high
tide line. In other words strip 1000
feet wide, now covered with water, Will
be available for wharves and ware
houses and railroad yards.

ESCAPED PRISONER
Believed to Be Identical with Man
Who Was Sentenced to the Ma
tional Guardhouse Last
September

The identity of the lone highwayman
who has been holding W. stage coaches
and robbing and terrorizing the occu-
pants is believed to have been discov-
cred, according to telegram received
yesterday by Game Warden w. B. Nor
gan from DIR. T. s. Palmer. the United
States game warden located 1t wash
| ington, d. c. The man is believed tc
be William Binkley, who, with Charles
Purdy, was arrestel a year ago
charged with shipping a carload or lOt
elk hides and 1900 teeth to Los Angeles
These men were examined before Com
missioner Van Dyke and bound over
to the southern district of Idaho, where
each was found guilty on three charges
and a fine of $500 was imposed.
During the trial 1t leaked out that
the elk had been killed in Yellowstone
park, and the men were rearrested Sep
tember of last year, each was SEN
fenced 70 three and half vars in
the national guard house in the park.
Two months later Binkley escaped
through the woods while at work in the
open. A fusillade of shots followed him,
but without effect, and since then his
whereabouts have been a mystery.
Twelve stages have been held up in
the park within the past few months,
and a description of the lone highway
man has been sent to Washington. 1t
Is said to coincide with that of Binkley,
and renewed efforts are being made to
capture the man.
At the time of Binkley's arrest in
Los Angeles Warden Morgan was the
recipient Of a congratulatory telegram
from President Roosevelt.

600 Earned This Season
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-James r.
Keenes racing stable passed the $780,
900 mark in its earnings for the season
of 1908 last Saturday at the Sheepshead
Bay track, when the single item Of the
Futurity made the biggest addition OF
the year to the stables earnings.
The stable, which last year made
new world record for winnings with a
total of $400,00O is well in the lead OF
the winning list of the present year,
and in spite of the altered conditions
of racing under the new laws, has ev-
cry prospect of closely approaching the
remarkable record Of 1907.
With Maskette's victory in the Fu-
turity, the filly took rank among the
great winners of the stable, with three
races and a total of $780, 500 won In her
brief career, through which she mas
been unbeaten. Maskette's record ranks
In brilliancy with that of the champion
Colin, winner of three races ana $oV'VOV
this season and of fifteen races and
$182, 900 in his two seasons of racing,
while the stable still has third horse
that practically is unbeaten, in Celt,
which was second to his stablemate,
Colin, in the Flatbush stake last sea-
son and won all his other races, one at
Q years old and two at years old, with
$780, 900 to his credit. The other most
notable winners of the stable this sea-
son are Ballot, with $2S,500, and Helmet,
with $4,000. In the big stable nineteen
horses each have won one or more
races and a total of $220,685.
