ADJUTANT GENERAL OF THE ARMY
 SUMMARILY DISMISSED BY TAFT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE n

>~>~>~>~~~~~~~~-~~~-~~S~~~> that Colonel Murray and Major Dugan were to be relieved because they had given testimony to a congressional com mittee on certain legislation, testimony which was at variance with that given by Major General Wood, chief of staff General Ainsworth intimated that per sons mot knowing not believing that the chief of staff is too highminded'' to take such a revenge, would believe the two officers had been removed to punish them.
 Wrote Personal Letter
 Secretary Stimson, from his home on Long Island, wrote a personal letter in reply. In it he said: 'I greatly regret and reprobate certain passages of your memorandum" and added that nothing Is gained by suspecting or intimating interior motives on the part of those with whom we have to act in assecia- tion."
 Continuing in his letter of suspension the secretary declares:
 Tn considering whether these offenses as0inst propriety on your part are mere ly exceptional cases of rudeness and i'll temper, I found they have become hab- itual on your part and have occurred under other administrations of the war department and concerning other officers than those of the general staff The secretary then refers to still another mem orandum submitted by General Ainsworth relative to recommendations made by 16 of the officers and superintendent of the military academy, relative to a reduction of paper" work In the military organ ization. He quotes the adjutant general; Quotes AinswOrth Again "'All these recommendations are disap- proved with a few relatively unimportant exceptions hereinafter noted. Most all of tf -l.-. them a deplorabe ignorance of or indIf- ference to the requirements of law with regard to the rendition of these returns And rolls and rye purposes for which they are rendered Such i'll considered and inn practicable recommendations afford con- vincing proof of the futility of calling upon officers generally for an expression of their views with regard to the paper work that they are required to perform "
 Going back to October. 1909, Secretary Stimson discusses another memorandum written by General Ainsworth relating to proposition by still another stan off cer The memorandum reads:
 Life is too short to permit of wasting any portion of ii in discussion with or for the benefit of anyone whose coneep- ton of the underlying principles of mili- tary administration is so hazy that he can advocate such a proposition seriously. proposition of this kind would be regarded as remarkable if advanced by state militiaman, and it is simply amazing when put forward by an officer of the regular army, even though his connection with the military side of that establish ment be so remote as to be merely nomi- nal"
 Sums Up Letter
 In summing up his letter of suspension, Secretary Stimson does not mince words He says that feeling that he himself had been attacked he had not deemed himself fit to take judicial action, but had laid

OPEN BRIDGE HELPS
HAMMOND BUSINESS

That the business which comes to
town as a result of the automobile
traffic amounts to considerable is
shown from the experience of num-
Der of Hammond business men last
Sunday.
The Forsythe avenue bridge was
closed forcing automobilists to come
through Hammond instead of East
Chicago. The Hammond garage did a
cash business of s165 and sent thirteen
persons over to the Hotel Carleton for
dinner
1t is believed that this would be a
regular business il Sheffield avenue
was properly paved and Holman street
was opened through to the town of
Munster.
Garage men, restaurant men. hotel
keepers and others are very impatient
because of the fact that the roads
through Hammond ar not in better con-
dition. They are anxious to have them
improved right away.

HOUSE MAY
BRANCH OUT

Hammond's first settlement house,
which specializes in the care of babies
has become firmly established and is
no longer venture. Meeting last Sat-
urday the women who are active MEM
bers in the social organization decided
to branch out in their work They are
considering the advisabiity of ap-
pointing trained nurse to visit homes
and assist in the care of sick children.
Since the middle of April 253 babies
have been cared for IN the settlement
house. The subscription now is large
enough to assure the future of the
work
to make public their thanks to THE
TIMES for it's support in the movement
The officials stated that they owe
much to the publicity obtained through
the news columns of THE TIMES.

THRILLING
ADVENTURE
FOR Lad

Dizzily exuberant, Harry Work, lit
tie shaver of s years, today stood in
the death strip between the main line
tracks OF the Michigan Ceutrdf at
Oakley avenue. while two fast trains
rushed by on each side of him leav-
ing margin of but a few inches. Dar-
ing death with superme indifference.
the boy had placed himself in the po-
sition for the purpose. as he expressed
it, "Of seeing what 1t was like"
Hardly able to keep his feet he stood
enveloped in a cloud of dust, while his
little companion, a water spaniel. who
tried to follow him in front of the
passenger locomotive. knocked
sky high" and found fifty feet from
the crossing.
Choked and frightened the boy fell
to the gravel after the few moments
OF chaos were over. He was taken to
his home on Pine street by passing
friends who said that the accident
was but many of similar character in a
young but eventful life. Harry is
known throughout the neighborhood in
which he lives a boy of unusual
daring. When little form is seen
swaying in the highest tree or coasting
down the steepest hill everyone who is
informed knows at once who it is.
