In calling attention to the unpre-
paredness Of the United States army,
Ma. Leonard Wood, chief of
staff paints more darkly than perhaps
is necessary but that is no reason why
his warning should be disregarded.
The statement that there are weak
spots in the American defensive
scheme hardly needs verfcation after
the distributing revelations attendant
upon the last war. Slight doubt exist
ed then in regard 70 causes for weak
nesses disclosed, but General Wood
now informs US that the important
shortage is in field artillery and am
munition; that IL the regular army
and organized militia were called TO
arms today there would be "A shortage
of so per cent in the field artillery nee
essary to equip them. In the event Of
war, therefore, this shortage would be
increased UNNECESSARILY by additions
TO the rank and file, and thousands Of
soldiers would be OF little use until ad-
ditional equipment were provided.
General Wood urges the creation Of
n reserve of 300, 900 men who have ser
we'd in the regular army or militia. and

THIS is MY ssrH BIRTHDAY"

Louis Lavergne. who was recently
appointed a member OF the Dominion
Senate TO fiji the vacancy caused by
the death OF Sir George Drummond,
was born at st. Pierre de Montmagny,
December 1, 1s45. He was educated at

Quebec, and is by profession a notary.
He was first returned to Parliament
in 1897. for the constituency of Drum

In the election Of 1900 he was return

bill for raising volunteer army i'm

now comprises an enlisted strength of
1890 men, and they must not exceed

countries keep their reserves strong

While pessimism over General

government may feel that prepared

that the battles of the future will be
waged on the ocean, there is no GER

has taught Americans 10 value the
work of the army highly. General

AUTOPSY ON DICKINSON
Bankers Body Taken from
Vault by Insurance Company.
S65, 900 POLICY INVOLVED
With Wife's Consent Surgeons
Begin Analysis to Fix the
Cause of Death.

With the consent OF Mrs. Charles Z.
Dickinson, physicians of the Casualty
Company of America began yesterday an
examination of the stomach and other
organs of the dead banker with view
to learning whether the $4,000 accident
insurance claim of the heirs against the
company was valid.
On Thursday Edwin W. De Leon, presi-
dent of the Casualty Company of Amer
lea. in which company Mr. Dickinson
held an accident policy for $4,000. APP
piled to Mrs. Dickinson for permission to
have the organs examined by patholo-
gists. Late Thursday evening DR.. Otto
H. Schultze and two other doctors. rep
resenting the Casualty Company OF
America, together with three physicians
representing the Dickinson family and
three or four others representing other
insurance companies In which Mr.. Dick
inson had held policies. made hurried
trip to Mount Kisco Cemetery, and in
receiving vault there, in which the body
had been temporarily placed, they re-
moved the stomach, lungs and heart of
the dead man.
DR.. Schuitze, who is Coroner's ply
stefan of the city. appeared as the chief
pathologist representing the accident in
surance company, and not in his official
capacity as an officer of the Coroners'
staff Coroner Winterbottom, who had
charge of the Dickinson case. and Cor
oner Feinberg, who was called in by the
former both arrived at the belief that
Mr.. Dickinson's death was due to pneu-
monia, superinduced by the inhalation OF
chemical gases.
The examination of the organs, it was
said yesterday, would be conducted as
rapidly as possible and would proba bly,
be finished to-day. The work is being
done at the Cornell Laboratory. with
which DR.. Schultze is conducted.
Mr. De Leon said last night that pa
biologists had been directed to make a
microscopic examination of the vital or
gans so that they could report with alb
solute finality as to the cause of Mr..
Diclinsons death.
TT is our regular course, when We have
received notice of a policyholder's death"

Dickinson to proceed, and three doctors

Other accident insurance companies were
interested, not only for original policies
which they held, but also on account of
some reinsurance which we had out with
other concerns on Mr.. Dickinson's risk"
The Casualty Company of America had
been informed of the death of Mr.. Dick
inson by Stanley c. Dickinson, brother
of the dead man, Mr.. De Leon said, and
the notification was presumed to be

RACING BILL IN DANGER
Abortive Attempt to Kill Planned
by New York Democrats.
SENATOR AGNEW TO RESCUE
His Attention Called at Last
Moment to Plot in Time to
Frustrate 1t.
IRv Telegraph to The Tribune. |

Albany, May Pin the last half hour of
the legislative session a bold though abort
i've attempt was made to kill through
trickery the Agnew-Perkins bill making
directors of racetracks liable personally
for violations of the gambling laws IN
those Enclosures. 1t was planned and car
ried through by New York City Democrats,
apparently desperate because the agree
ment to kill these bills on account of Demo
cratic votes delivered for the Republican
machines primary bill and against the d.
rect primary measure had failed.
Mr.. Perkinss BILL owing to the EFFORTS OF
Senator Agnew. had passed the Senate yes
terday. Just a few minutes before suspen-
sion OF business in the Senate to-day. while
noise and confusion rendered it difficult TO
follow affairs, Senator Harte. of Queens
County, moved TO reconsider the vote by
which the bill had passed and TO have that
motion lie on the table.
At that time Senator Stillwell, of The
Bronx, was talking earnestly to Senator
Agnew. urging him to support "a local Dill
on which we need your vote" He talked
fervidly. appealingly. all the time edging
himself between Senator Agnew and the
desk SO that Agnew's view of the clerk
was cut off and his attention effectually
Sullivan was working among the other Sen
ators for various local bills, helping the
general confusion
Temporarily the scheme worked. Harte's
motion met no objection. But Agnew's at
tention was called to it, and he rose to
parliamentary inquiry. He demanded to
know what motion had been made, and
pressed his query until the Lieutenant
Governor obtained the information from
the clerk and announced the purport of
Hartes motion. Agnew protested that
any such motion was out of order. He de
clared his attention had been distracted
Intentionally, and asked for a ruling on
whether such a motion could be made at
that time.
Lieutenant Governor White ruled that
the motion of Harte was Ineffective the
bill having been sent back TO the Assembly
and So being out of the custody of the
Senate.
II don't know just what the result would
have been if 1 hadn't pressed my inquiry,
said Senator Agnew. LAS it is, the Dill Is
perfectly safe, and / am told that no entry
will appear on the records of this transac-
ton
This bill is the one most feared of the
series of anti-oral bookmaking bills. Inc
Democrats who fought the bills, led by SEN
ator Sullivan, are furious at the discovery
of their scheme.
Three of the four bills introduced de-
signed to prevent gambling at racetrachs
have passed the Legislature. The PERKINS

of the law in relation to keeping gaming
and betting establishments, went through

EMERSON HAD BLOOD IN EYE
Looking for Man Who Said He
Wanted Blond Stenographer.
IRr Telegrarh to The Tribune

Albany May Ex-senator Jim" Emerson,
of Warrensburg, wants it distinctly under
stood that IL he finds out the identity OF
the dastardlv miscreant who put him for
mally on record to-day as wanting a biono
stenographer. when his preference is for
brunettes. he'll have his hearts blood and
as he protested vehemently in open senate
that he was serious about it, there may be
q tragedy impending
AS chairman of the Committee on PENAL
Institutions, Emerson to-day introduced a
resolution for the appointment OF a COM
mittee TO visit and inspect the penal In
stitutions of the state and report on their
condition. Despite the formal sound OF
that there are some hypercritical persons
who maintain that this was intended TO
provide for a summer junket around the
state for the fortunate committee. But
that's neither here nor there. The point
is that this resolution, in cold, plain type
authorized the committee to employ lone
blond stenogra pher.
AS il was read the Senate and great
throng of visitors burst into roars of laugh
ter. Emerson, spluttering with rage, pro-
tested that this was no joke, but an af-
fair of deadly seriousness. Informally he
said he didn't care boot about blondes and
hadn't specified word about the personal
attractions of the prospective stenographer,
though he himself liked brown hair and
eyes The matter lost some of its deadly
import owing TO the fact that a score of
objections were lodged against the recep-
ton of the resolution, and it went into outer
darkness
