commerce committee today by Harris
d. H. Connick. vice president of the
American International Shipbuilding

specified, July, 1919.
Mr.. Connick made vigorous pro-
test against the campaign of charges
of mismanagement and extravaganza,
declaring that enormous expenses be-
yond the original estimates had been
made necessary by enlargement of the
plant and changes ordered by the

STOCK YARDS WAGE
HEARING NEARS END
Advisory Superintendent of
Many Swift Plants Says
Eight Hours at This
Time Impractical,

Chicago, March 2,-Taking OF teS-
timony in the stock yards wage arbi-
tration is nearing completion. The
packers expect to call their last wit
nesseS tomorrow, after which there
will be several days given TO rebut-
tai testimony and arguments of coun-
sci before Federal Judge Samuel Al
schuler the arbitrator, takes the case
under advisement.
At today's session Chester S.
Churchill, advisory superintendent
for Swift and companys plants at
Chicago, Denver, Omaha, Kansas
City, St, Joseph, East St. Louis, St.
Paul and Fort Worth, testified that in
his opinion t would be impractical to
install the eight hour day without en-
tensive alterations in building and
equipment because of lack of tanks
and cooling room space. He said the
change would decrease production of
the plants during the war. The wit
ness said he had not seriously con-
sidered the adoption of the eight hour
day until last summer. He believed in
extra compensation for overtime and
holidays and said Swift and company
never worked men overtime if it could
be avoided.
Bought 10000 Friday.
Attorney Frank P. Walsh, for the
employees, asked the witness if he did
not think there would be a great saw
ing OF men, energy and money if the
government operated the packing
plants during the war. The witness
declined to express an opinion on the
subject.

TRIAL OF MAJOR
OVER SOLDIERS
DEATH ORDERED
Investigation of Conditions at
Camp Doniphan Leads SeCre-
tary Baker to Take Action
Against Officers.
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, March 2.-Investi-
CATION of the treatment of Private
Albert Hestwood of Liberty, Kan,
who died of spinal meningitis at Camp
Doniphan, Okla, has resulted in
Secretary Baker ordering the trial by
court martial of Major Phillip B.
Connolly, medical corps, U. S. A. of
New York City, and First Lieutenant
Walter H. Kirkpatrick, medical corps,
National Guard, of Haven, Kan.
1t was announced today that Major
Connolly, who was in charge of the
base hospital, while Hestwood was a
patient had been held responsible by
the investigating officer of conditions
at the hospital characterized as
nothing short of deplorable."
Officer Made Examination.
Lieutenant Kirkpatrick was the first
medical officer to examine Private
Hestwood, and is charged with having
sent the soldier to the hospital with
out making known the fact that he
suspected spinal meningitis.
Major General w. M. Wright, COM
manding at Camp Doniphan, and
Brigadier General L. G. Berry, who
commanded the camp while General
Wright was on an observation tour
in France, have been called on by
Secretary Baker for reports as to how
such conditions as were found in the
camp hospitals came to exist.
Conditions at the Camp Doniphan
hospital first came into public notice
through letter read by Senator
Chamberlain, chairman of the senate
military committee, during speech
in the senate. The letter was written
by Private Hestwood's father to a
friend.
Body in Casket.
The report of the investigating
officer said that with respect to the
fathers statement that the body was
sent home in a sheet, the facts dis
closed that the body was sent in
metal lined casket and that "this
being a communicable disease, the
body was wrapped in sheets and
cotton to conform to shipping laws"
All the other facts set out in the
fathers letter were found to be sub
stantially correct according to the
investigating officer, who said the
wards in the hospital, and especially
the one in which Private Hestwood
died, were in an unclean condition;
there was an insufficient supply of
bed linen; there was a lack of suffi-
cient attendants on duty at the hos
pital and the small number present
were men of practically no expert
ence and patients went for long
periods without a bath or without
even having their hands and face
bathed.

No Spring Vacation for
Pupils of Central High

No spring vacation for the pupils
the Central High school. The Board
of Education has decreed that the pu-
pills shall continue their studies until
June 7, which is one week earlier
than the original date of the end of
the spring semester. The change has
been made that the 200 boys who will
leave the school in May to work on
the farms may not miss so much of
the terms work.
The Register staff met yesterday at
the home of the editor, Sol Rosen-
blatt, to assign the work of preparing
the annual. No special advertising
campaign will be carried on, due, to
the fact that business men have too
many calls for money for war activi-
ties. Several new features are being
planned for this years final edition of
the school paper.

ARMY HEADS OF
GE n ERAL STAFF
TO Be REMOVED
Return of General March From
France to Result in Change
in Several Branches
of Service.

Washington, March 2.-Numerous
changes in the personnel of the gen.
eral staff of the army are expected to
follow the arrival here of Major
General Peyton c. March, who landed
at an Atlantic port today, returning
from France, to assume his duties as
acting chief of staff. Officers here
have no :kowledge of plans General
March may have laid in this regard,
but it has been announced that he
will draw to his aid men in whom he
has special personal confidence.
1t is understood that one of the first
acts of the new chief will be to name
a successor for Major General John
Biddle, assistant chief of staff, and
who has been acting as head of that
body since General Bliss was assigned
to the supreme war council in Europe.
There are indications that General
Biddle already has been selected for
an important command in Europe,
and it is known that he would prefer
duty abroad.
Reorganization of the general staff
recently -ffected is now in operation.
1t has been stated officially however,
that the General officers recently as
signed to duty as directors of the five
major divisions of the staff are hold
ing their positions temporarily. This
action was taken in order to permit
assistants in carrying out the task OF
coordination of the purely military
side of the army.
Each of these directors is an assis-
tant to the chief of staff with power
to act in the name of the secretary,
or of the chief of staff in matters
pertaining to his own particular field.
By this means an organization has
been built up for General March in
such a way that he will be able to
devote his own time almost wholly
to the broader problems of the de-
partment, leaving detail work to his
assistants, and quickly familiarizing
himself with conditions throughout
the army.
General March brings to the head
of the general staff intimate personal
knowledge with conditions in France.
He has discussed every phase of the
relationship between the war depart
ment and the expeditionary forces
with General Pershing, and it is an
ticipated that complete harmony of
action and purpose will prevail on
both sides of the water under his
direction. .%-..
The remarks made by General
March today on his arrival indicated
his desire for less rigorous censor
ship as to activities of American
troops in France caused some COM
ment among army officers here. A
majority of them agree that much
more could be told with safety as to
the doings abroad than has been the
practice up to this, time. Secretary
Baker has taken the position, how
ever, that all information as to the
movements of General Pershing's
forces must come through that
officers censor. He has held that the
War department was to remote to
exercise any jurisdiction over this
subject.
The discussion of the new chiefs
probable attitude as to censorship
brought out the fact that home
officers here have been little dis
turbed as to the nature of information
censors abroad have been permitting
to come through, particularly as to
the recent gas attack upon American
trOODS by German batteries.

tending to show that the big packers
had not been operating at their maxi
mum capacity for several months.
He referred to a decrease in the
price Of hogs in Chicago OF so cents
yesterday and 40 cents the day be-
fore and asked the witness if the
packers at times did not refuse to buy
live stock SO as to depress prices.
Mr.. Chur kill said he did not have
anything to do with buying live stock
Attorney Walsh said the packers
only bought $1,000 hogs in Chicago
yesterday. although they have a kill
ing capacity Of $4,000 and that as a
result of the small amount pur-
chased 2S,000 were left over unsold
until TODAY.

RANK DISLOYALTY

In another colum The
Oasis prints this morning
the story Of a man who OBJ
jected to the food regul-
ations under which the rest
aurants of Nogales, in com
mon with restaurants all
over the United States, are
refraining absolutely from
the use of wheat for ninety
days.
Because, forsooth, this
individual could not get a
plate of toast, he let out a
roar and declared that che
would go across the line in
to Mexico, where he could
get what he wanted to eat. !"
The Oasis is glad to say
that this is the only incident
of the kind, so far as known,
that has taken place in
the city. The citizen of the
United States who acts like

the best evidence of the uni

people is the cheerful man

conservation of needed food
stuffs.
We are sorry that we can
not publish the name of the

is certain that the measure
of public contempt and con-
demnation which would
be meted out to a known Of

Complaint has been made
recently to The Oasis re

city ordinance forbidding
the use of muffler cut-outs

Practically every large

muffler cut-outs, and the
nuisance that comes from
the Internal racket of an un-

forcement of the ordinance
should be superfluous..
