PROVES BIG SUCCESS
Proceeds Amounting to $11, 900 Used in
Waging War on tuberculosis.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-More than
$1,000 net was realized by the sale of
Red Cross stamps in Manhattan and
the Bronx during the holiday season,
according to figures given out by the
committee. AS the little red stamps
were sold at one cent each, this means
that a number in excess of 100000
were bought in Greater New York. In
view of the success of the innovation,
the committee has decided to make the
Christmas sale a permanent feature if
possible.
The proceeds collected through the
recent distribution will be devoted to
the support Of the various institutions
maintained for the cure of tuberculosis
and in the educational campaign
against the disease.

Lieutenant Kinzie in Trouble.

Army circles On the Pacific Coast,
says the Chronicle of January %, were
stirred yesterday when it became
known that LieutenaRt Hunter Kinzie
of the Twelfth Infantry, stationed at
the Monterey Preside, was to be tried
by court martial on charges of having
cheated at garrison post examination
and of having riaed the quarters of a
military instructor in an endeavor TO
secure in advance the questions that
were TO be asked at the test.
Lieutenant Kinzie is one of the dash
ing young officers of the department.
The news of his predicament. which
became known yesterday, created a
sensation in and out of the Army set.
In addition TO the odium attached to
the charges against him, if he is found
guilty. it will mean the end of his
army career.
The questions TO be asked at the ex-
animation were prepared in the Army
headquarters at Washington, D. C. They
were forwarded to Major William a
Wright, instructor in charge of the
school at Monterey. They were re
ceived by Major Wright several DAYS

SAN FRANCISCO, January 90
Major Beach B. Ray, paymaster's de-
partment, has orders to sail for home
from Manila. 1t is but few weeks
since the Major returned to the Phil
lpplnes after an extended leave of alb
sence on this continent. Some inquiry
and no little interest has stirred the
minds of Army officers as to this sud
den switching back.
1t has developed, however, that Ma
jor Ray is slated for the new paymas-
ter s Office at Honolulu, which is to be
established in anticipation of the new
garrison at that point.
The ASSIGNMENT is considered a most
desirable one, and compares favorably
with other pleasant duties which have
fallen at Major Rays feet, and for
which, it is generally conceded, his
friendship with Mr.. Taft and Secretary
