PAVES WAY FOR APPOINTMENT
OF MANY NEW OFFICERS, 1T
is DECLARED.
FATHERED BY REP. DAVIS

investigation May
Follow.

Washington, D. c. The an
nouncement of the appointment Of
about 40 new officers in the army is
said to be the basis Of a scandal de
veloped as a result Of legislation in
the last congress that will be investi-
gated by a committee of the next
Democratic house. This legislation re-
suited from a bill introduced in the
house by Representative Davis Of
Minnesota at the instance, it is claim
ed, Of Lieut.-Col. w. C. Brown, who
is a native of st. Peter, MINI.
The legislation, as proposed was
intended to promote the equalization
of rank among the officers Of the
army. The point in the legislation
was that through inequalities, result
ing from regimental promotions, many
Of the officers of the army had not
been justly treated. 1t was to correct
this injustice that the measure was
passed, and it is alleged that the rep
reservations made to the committees
Of congress were that not more than
~ OlIlCGiS "Oulu 10 ollCSICN ~ LIN
changes which would create vacancies
in the official list of the army.
The members of both parties in
congress were startled by the an
nouncement that 48 officers have been
promoted, and that inside information
at the department indiCS ties that more
than 100 appointments will follow the
changes. In other words, the claim
is that congress was misled by the
army officers who advocated the leg
islation.
The interesting feature of this al
legged scandal is that the Democrats,
as we'll as the Republicans in congress,
were misled, and they are particularly
resentful, in view of the fact that con.
gress authorized the addition Of more
committees were led to believe that
under the Davis bill to ~equalize the
promotions of army officers, only 20
officers would be affected, whereas it
is now apparent that more than 100
will be promoted and appointed.
Inc DAVIS Dill was "luIIOuuCSu, IL
is said, at the request Of Lieutenant
Colonel Brown, who had suffered from
inequalities in promotions, and he is
made lieutenant colonel by the new
list of promotions just announced.
No charge is made that Lieutenant
Colonel Brown had any knowledge of
the effect Of the proposed changes in
the army, nor how many vacancies
would be created by which a large
number of additions to the list OF Of
ficers in the army will be made. The
Democratic minority in the last con-
gress acquiesced in the passage of the
Davis bill, believing that it was in
the interest of justice to officers who
had not received fair consideration I'M
der the old form Of promotions. The
Democratic members of the commit
tees are expected to institute an in
vestigation and exposure Of those who
we're instrumental In securing the leg
islation without making all the facts
known to congress.

EDITOR BROWNE
OF The Rockford Morning Star.

About sever years ago I ceased
drinking coffee to give your Postum .
trial.
II had suffered acutely from various
forms Of indigestion and my stomach
had become 70 d~isordered as to repel
almost every sort Of substantial food.
My general health vas bad. At close
intervals I would suffer severe attacks
which confined me In bed for q week
or more. Soon after changing from
coffee to Postum the Indigestion
abated, and in a short time ceased
entirely. have continued the daily
use of your excellent Food Drink and
assure you most cordially that I am
indebted to you for the relief 1t has
brought me.
Wishing you a continued success. J
am Yours very truly,
J. Stanley Browne,
Managing Editor"
OF course, when q mans health
shows he can stand coffee without
trouble, let him drink It, but most
highly organized brain-workers SIM
ply cannot.
The drugs natural to the coffee Der
~ affect the stomach and other organs
and thence to the complex v
system, throwing 1t out of balance and
producing disorders In various parts
Of the body. Keep up this daily pois-
oning and serious disease generally
supervenes. So when man or woman
finds that coffee is a smooth but dead
ly enemy and health is of any value
at all, there is but one road-quit.
1t Is easy to find out II coffee be the
cause OF the troubles, for II left OF 10
days and Postum be used in its place
and the sick and diseased conditions
begin to disappear, the proof IL I'M
answerable.
Postum is not good II made by short
boiling. 1t must be boiled full 10 min
utes after boiling begins, when tho
crisp flavor and the food elements are
brought out of the grains and the bev.
erage Is ready to fulfill its mission OF
palatable comfort and renewing the
cells and nerve centers broken down
by coffee.

BANDITS ON TRIAL
MOST NOTABLE PROSECUTION IN
HISTORY OF ITALY.
Light May Be Thrown on Murder
of Gotham Detective
Lieutenant.

Viterbo, Italy. - The trial Of the
forty-one members of the N%eapolitan
Camorra, which has terrorized Italy
for many years, has begun. A jury
was secured more readily than had
been anticipated, and Cavaliero
Bianchi, president of the court chosen
by the ministry of justice to preside,
opened the interrogation of the &C
cused. He limited his question to an
inquiry into their personal records.
The prisoners are charged with the
assassination of fellow members in the
Camorra, Gennaro Cuoccolo and his
wife, Maria Cutinelli Cuoccolo, popu-
larly known as the Beautiful Sor-
rentina." Behind this charge are al
legations of ~numberless murders and
robberies perpetrated by what is per
haps the best organized and most des-
perate criminal society of modern
times. The real purpose of the gov.
eminent is to rid the country of this
band. 1t is believed that evidence
will be brought out that will throw
light upon the assassination of the
American detective, Lieutenant Joseph
Petrosino, at Palermo, in March, 1909,
after he had been sen to Italy by the
New York police department to secure
information regarding Italian crimi-
nails.
1t was Petrosino who arrested En-
rico AlfanO. better known as ErriCOnP.

mora, after the latter had fed to
