NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Major Gen.

general order to the officers in the de-

press upon the enlisted men the deadly
effects that follow the drinking of wood
or denatured alcohol
1t was said on Governors island that
headquarters had received reports con-
corning the drinking of wood alcohol al
one of the artillery posts in the depart

Army officers state 1t is surprising
how many men in and out of the army
are ignorant of the fact denatured alco-
hold is a fatal poison.
One man, it was learned, had died
by drinking the alcohol in a curling
iron stove. Similar cases are reported
frequently.
Not long ago 1t is said an artillery
man died from the effects of imbibing
the wood alcohol used to clean harness

"Autoerat of House" Says Provisions

GBy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S,-Incensed
by an attack q 1ged to have been
made upon himself and the rules of
the house by Edward E. Higgins,
president of Success magazine, Speaker
Cannon made public tonight letter
vigorously defending the rules.
'The rules may not be IDEAL" he
writes, but they have stood the test
senong those who know them, in spite
of half a century of denunciation such
as Mr.. Higgins puts forth. The foun-
datio'I principles were laid down more
than a century ago under the leader
ship of Jefferson and Madison. They
have been perfected from year to year
to meet the needs of a growing repre-
sentation of growing nation.
II receive letters from men who de-
nounce the legislative, the executive,
the judiciary, the law, the church and
the rules of the house. One publisher
makes Ii point to denounce the mar
rowing influence of religion on our civ
ilization and demands legislation that
will destroy this influence, and de-
nounces the fundamental law of the
land and would destroy the constitu-
tion and the statutes; a clever stock
broker sends out bulletins attacking
the executive, and another advertises
his attack on business.
Mr. Higgins employs the same
methods to attack the speaker and the
rules of the house. He attacks the
