WOULD INCREASE INFANTRY.
Recommendation Of Gen. Brush,
Commanding in tho Visayas.


Commanding in the Visayas.
The increase Of the infantry arm of the
army IL earnestly recommended by Brig.
Gen. Brush, commanding the Department
OF the Visayas, in the Philippines. In his
annual report to the War Department.
He suggests this increase. "in order" he
says. Ito meet the ever-increasing de-
mand for the services of this arm and to
provide q first line in the event Of hos
tilities. The increase should be accom-
plished In four years, five regiments being
added each year."
Gen. Brush says he believes it to be
detrimental to the best interests OF the
service to transfer soldiers. still In the
prime and vigor Of life, from q home
going to an incoming regiment for the
sole purpose Of allowing them to be cred
tied with double time for retirement This
causes. he says, the army to lose many
men at a time when their services are
most valuable. Under existing conditions
valuable non-commissioned officers have
been retired at from forty-two to forty
Ave years OF age. No such transfers
should be made. In the opinion OF Gen.
Brush. unless the soldier has served at
least twenty-five years actual time. With
the restrictions suggested, he heartily in
dorses the law which allows double time
for service In the Philippines.

Application Of Counsel.
Application had been made by Attor-
ney Jackson III. Ralston, representing
Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison. to stay the issuance Of
the mandate to the Supreme Court of
the District Of Columbia
Attorney Ralston requested a stay un-
til January 2, 1910, which Is sixty days
from the date on which the opinion OF
the court was delivered. He urged the
engagements Of his associate. Judge Al
ton B. Parker Of New York, as reason
for the desired postponement. He said
the time asked would be no more than
that required for the determination OF
the steps desired to be taken by the labor
leaders, and to make the necessary prep.
aration for carrying out the method OF
procedure determined. The stove and
range company opposed the length of
the stay asked, declaring the request ex-
traordinary.
Will Not Brook Delay.
He stated that counsel had more than
seven months, during which the case was
under consideration by the court, to de-
termine on their action in the event Of an
adverse decision. He pointed out to the
court that the advices which reach him
show that the labor people have made no
attempt to obey the injunction, and are
still violating it.
He suggested that there are only two
modes Of procedure to choose from-cer-
tiorari and habeas corpus.
Mr.. Darlington advised the court that
he would consent to a stay Of two weeks.
lowed by the rules of the court, but was
opposed to q sixty-day delay.
After consulting for several minutes
with his associates on the bench Chief
Justice Shepard announced that the court
would consider the request.

very thing which he wished to avoid The

Athlyne was not an ordinary individual.
He liked to do things for himself in most
matters which interested him; and in
this case there was so distinctly per-
sonal bearing that he would not have
been satisfied to leave it to any one else.
When, however. he began to work out
details of his alias he found that he had
landed in a perfect hornets nest of diff
ficulties. The mere matter of clothing
and luggage was. he found. almost enough
to turn his hair prematurely gray. What
was the use of taking false name when
his true one was engraved on the brass
