Woods New Position

General Wood viii assume command
of the eastern department with head
quarters at Governors Island, New
York.
The appointment of Gen. Wother
spoon to be the chief of staff had been
fully expected, as it was in accord
ance with the practice of promoting
the assistant chief of staff to the first
place. So the interest of the army
centers in the selection of an assist
ant chief of staff who might in turn
succeed Gen. Wotherspoon when the
latter retires on account of age next
November.
A short time ago it had been vir-
tually settled that the position of as
sistant chief shduld be rendered to
Brig. Gen. Taskar a. Bliss.
Later a report &as current that this
tender was declined by Gen. Bliss and

PENSIONS FOR
RELATIVES OF
men ENGAGED
IN LATE WARS

Washington, April Pensions for
widows and minor children of the Of
ficers and men who served in the
Spanish war, the Philippine insurrec-
ton and the Boxer uprising in China
would be authorized by a bill which
passed the House late today by vote
of ZIG to 81.
The bill would grant II dollars
monthly to the widow of an honestly
discharged soldier or sailor. and 50
monthly for each child under 16 years
of age, provided that the widow mar
ried the soldier prior to the passage
of the bill. The pension would be Inn
tied, however, to widows without
means of support other than their
daily labor and an actual net income
not exceeding $3.50 year.
An inquiry along the camps of the
United Spanish War Veterans indi-
Gated there were about 1000 widows of
men who served in the Spanish war
and the Philippine instruction. 1t is
estimated that an appropriation of ST.
500, 600 would be required to pay the
pensions.

Washington, April Whether the

Washington, April THE admins
tration bill to repeal toll exemption for
American ships in the Panama canal,
which passed the House yesterday,
amid spectacular scenes. reached the
Senate today and was promptly re-
ferred to the committee on inter
oceanic canals without debate.
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the
canal committee which is marshalling
the anti administration forces, an
nounced definitely tonight that he
would call a meeting of the commit
tee for next Tuesday. Until that time
no formal consideration of the repeal
measure or proposed amendments can
develop. Although friends of the
President had hoped to have the ca
rails committee meet earlier, they de-
eided to make no effort to induce Sem
ator O'Gorman to change his plans.

APRIL JOKE IS THE
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
AT CHICAGO PLANT

Chicago, April IA first of April joke
perpetrated by some person unknown to
the police today caused more than 500
unemployed men to congregate in a cold
rain in front of the 500 Line freight ter
minals and wait for the employment
promised by the joker.
Before the men could be made to under
stand that there was no basis for the re-
port that the railroad wanted hundreds OF
workers the crowd surged against the
steel gates, breaking the locks and poured
into the yards shouting Give us the
jobs
1t took the police nearly an hour to
clear the men out of the yards. The au-
thor of the hoax is sought by the police.
He spread the false rumor among the
hundreds of men gathered in the vicinity
of employment agencies.

sustaining loss of two and one-half
times as many members in 1913 as in

we could analyze our decrease, and
