action against the cutters will be in
creased greatly by Saturday.
The following open letter was issued
by the X. and g. Shoe company, of
which George Gregory is president and
general manager, and Joseph Caunt the
treasurer:
Working under a supposedly peace
agreement, which calls for arbitration Of
any existing difficulties, we have no
wish TO break that agreement, but await
the results OF arbitration, OF which we
are assured we shall receive eventually
the same consideration as the arbitra-
tors may obtain for themselves"
This statement was received with IN
terest by manufacturers and union men
alike, inasmuch as ii was in the factory
OF Joseph Caunt that the trouble with

ciety Was Not Responsible.

appeals yesterday reversed the judgment
OF the lower courts, awarding TO George
A. kellogg, $4,000 damages and costs
against the church charity foundation
of Long Island, which maintains St.
Johns hospital. Kellogg, while riding
a bicycle upon the right side of a
street in Brooklyn was run down by
an ambulance owned by the hospital.
He lost sight Of one Of his eyes. A
hospital surgeon was riding in the am
bulance at the time of the accident. The
court of appeals holds that the driver
Of the ambulance was servant Of the
livery stable keeper, where the ambul
ance was kept, and the driver was
subject primarily to his control"
Judge Willard Bartlett, writing the
opinion for the court says:
"No liability for the drivers negli-
gence towards the plaintiff can be i'm
puted to the defendant in the absence
Of proof that the ambulance surgeon
participated in such negligence" The
opinion also says:
ut must now be regarded as settled
that charitable corporation is not ex-
exempt from liability for tort against
stranger because of the fact that it
holds its property to be applied to pur-
poses of charity

NO MORE CHICKEN
In the Menu Of the United States Army,
and Little Turkey.

Washington, d. c., Oct IL. The elimi.
nation Of chicken from the army menu.
the limitation Of turkey to Thanksgiy-
ing and Christmas, the substitution of
so-called field bread" for hard tack and
abolishment OF the field ration, sum up
the important changes in the army ra-
tion for the American soldier made dur
ing the past year, according to the report
OF Eommissary General Henry G. Sharpe.
The elimination OF chicken has resulted
in a yearly saving to the government Of
1000.

"a day more to feed the American soldier
IN Alaska than It did those stationed in
the United States This is declared 10
be due principally to the cost OF beef
and its transportation to the isolated
posts in the territory The daily aver.
age cost of rations issued during the
year in the United States alone was %. Is
cents; Alaska, $3.50 cents; Hawaii. "a. 10
cents; Porto Rico, 2S.72 cents; aboard
transports, 1882 cents, American sol,
diers in the Philippines 24.56 cents, and
the native soldiers in the Philippines
1857.
Even the Philippine islands show
greater average cost per year per man
in the United States to be $l0596, and
in the Philippines Sll42l, or an averh ge
cost per diem in the former of 2g03
cents and in the latter of 3l.29 cents.
1t is interesting to note, the report
says. that out of total of Sll ,s64, ,s94,
spent during the year for subsistence,
only four-ffths of one per cent, or S06.-
006, is accredited to losses from such
causes as ordinary wastage in issue and
transportation, deterioration from eli
matte causes, theft and property worn
out.
The experimental farm conducted by
the subsistence department at Camp
Wears, P. T., for the purpose Of deter
mining whether potatoes could be sue
eessfully raised in the Philippines, has
proved the unfeasibility of such prof
ect Although the conditions were ex-
ceedingly favorable when the plants first
came up, the report admits, blight in
yaded the farm and while the yield av.
eraged twenty-five bushels to an acre,
only fourteen of these were found it
for consumption.
While the results are declared to have
been great disappointment. the COM
missary general feels that the expendi-
ture of time and funds was well repaid.

WILEY WILL HELP.
In Prosecution of new Jersey Firm on
Diseased Meat Charge.

Washington, D. c., Oct. ls. "We shah
cooperate with the authorities of the
state of New Jersey in the prosecution
of the Schwartz Brothers company, the
Newark packers, on the charge of dis
posing of the meat of diseased horses for
human consumption" said DR.. Wiley,
chief of the bureau of chemistry, on his
return yesterday from the neighborhood
Of the company's operations.
DR.. Wiley went to New York on Sac
.urday to confer with the inspectors Of
his bureau, who had left Newark because
warrants had been issued for their ar
rest by the authorities of the suburban
town of Kearny There We're three of
the officials engaged in an inquiry into
the charge that the Schwartz concern
packed and shipped the flesh of horses
for human consumption. While they
were so employed the president of the
company procured warrants for their APP
prehension.
Rather than take the chances of local
prosecution the federal officials departed
from that jurisdiction and called upon
their chief for advice. DR.. Wiley said
"They ceased their interstate opera
tions when they discovered that we were
observing them, and thus renderd them
selves immune from federal prosecution,
but the state has begun action against
them and we shall turn over to the pub
lie prosecutor of Hudson county the evi-
denee collected by our men, and we will
do all that we can to aid him"
DR.. Wiley added that he had not been
informed when the state case would be
begun.

minutes of the grand jury and citel the

in granting such request by counsel
for George U. Croker, Judge Ratigan
said:
II will say to you that the only case
where that has been done was in the
case of commonwealth against Croker
and l may say, after conference with
my associates, we think it unwisely
done, and / therefore overrule the mo-
tion.p
