ATWOOD IS AFTER HIS JOB Animus of Charges Against Him, Asserts Cattle Commissioner Averill AT HEARING BEFORE THE GOVERNOR Declares That Atwood Also Sought Employment Giving Tuberculin Test to Cattle—Difficulty in Locating Glan- ders Case at Wilton—Witness Says Dogs Ate Flesh of a Glandered Horse, Which Lay Exposed on Watershed. Hartford, Conn, Feb. 15.—The first| which a complaint had been made. He day of the hearing on the charges yrought by Dr. F. G. Atwood of New Haven against ommissioner H. O. Averfll was given up almost entirely 10« statement by the commissioner on the eighten paragraphs of the com- plaint, and when an adjournment was taken until §.30 tomorrow morning At- torney General Light had just opened case by calllng a witness from oh, who testifled in regard to jrses which were killed or had died from some troubleereported in that town to be glanders. Dr. Atwood Scored in Letters. The procedure of the hearing, which was before Governor Baldwin, was that instead of the attorney general intro- evides on each parmgraph of e complaint, Commissioner Averill ok the witness stand and then made ply to sacl charge. On nine para- phs which related to cases of glan- s or farcy, and wherein it was set i the commussioner or his agent, Harrison Whitney of New Haven, not do his or their duty, the com- missioner presented his letter files wing correspondence in each case. This involved the reading of many let- ters, some of them of a personal na- ture to some extent, in which the writ- er frankly gave his opinion of Dr. At- wood. Wit 1 e Kra; £ho Book Records Submitted. letters were supplemented by explenations by the commis- sloner and some corroborative evi- dence from book records., The com- missioner claimed that he did what- er was in his power to handle sus- piclous cases, and that he had confi- dence in the acts of his agents, more particularly Dr. Whitney, as most of ihe paragraphs appertained to cases in New Haven. Then other specifications in the complaint were taken up and such documents as the commissioner offered were taken as exhibits. Sixteen Witnesses Subpoenaed. Judge W, Henney of thig city was ccynsel for 3 Averill, while the state’s case was conducted by Aftor- ney General Light, with F, 8, Bishop 28 uttorney for Dr. Atwood. ATter ad- journment subpoenas were prepared for sixteen witnesses for the, stato while Judge Henney had a number of witnesses to be called. The Wilton Case. Under the paragraph which alleged that the commissioner in other cases arising in the state, had failed to act, or had been indifferent, the cases of herses killed in Wilton. were brought The commissioner said that on 8 had been notified of a picious e in that town and had his deputy, Dr. Dow, to investi- The commissioner preferred not The verbal tify as to the Wilton cade as ng sen: his deputy, he belleved the latter better qualified to f wctpal conditions, and it had ey that when he employed ance to depend upon the those experts, Testimony of Dr. Dow. accordingly called and ing Wilton and having finding the horse over in safd that 8. G. Lockwod, to whom he applied, would not give him informa- tlon, but sedt him to First Selectman Keeler, and the latter did not give much help. Dr. Dow told of his ef- forts to locate a glandered horse there Ir. the Wilton case it had been report- ed that a horse suffering from the glanders had been killed on watershed of the town and allowed to lie exposed. S, G.:Lockwood, it later appeared by the ‘evidence, is father-in-law of Dr. Atwood. Dr. Dow explained that final- ly conditions became good and satis- fled everyhody ‘“except the tribe in Georgetown who are trying to make trouble,” As to Dr. Dow’s Competency. On the paragraph which asserted that the commissioner in appointing Dr. Dow had not appointed a gradu- ate of a recognized veterinary college, as provided by law, Judge Light of- fered a document from the United States department of agriculture, say- ing to Judge Henney, who had asked for an explanation, that he wished to show that tie department did not rec- cgnize that college as a standard one. Judge Henney claimed that the college was a part of Toronto university. Dow was graduated in 1900.Mr . Light offered a catalogue of the college for 1908-09. Averill Had to Protect the State. On the charge that the commissioner did not ec-operate with the bureau of animal industry in its efforts to stamp out glanders, the commissioner said, and he offered Jetters to prove it, that he secured blood tests from the de- partment and looked upon them as corroborative evidence. He said that when one glandered horse was killed he did not order another horse killed it it had been with the one deceased and a test showed that it was all right explaining that under the law a horse had to be appraised if the owner ob- Jected to the killing, and if there was nothing the matter with the harse the state would have the bill to pay. had to protect the state. On' the charge that the commissioner ought to have known acts of Dr. Whitney, bis agent; the commissioner said he had absoliwte confldence in Dr. Whit- ney and was frequently in consultation ‘with him and received reports in writ- ing from him. Says Atwood Wants the Job. On the charge that the commission=- er had used his office for building up a personal political machine, Mr. Av- eril] said that as all the charges cama from New Haven, the contest narrowed down to Dr. Whitaey and himself on the one side against Dr. Atwood on the other, who wished to get the commis- | sioner out of office so he could get the office himself. As a portion of a let- ter was incorporated In the paragraph Mr. Averill read as evidence the full corespondence showing that Dr. At- wood wanted to get an appointment, which was the actual reason for the charge, The commissioner said the motive which led to this letter writ- | ing grew out of the desire of Dr. At- wood to be employed to give the tuber- culin test to cattle shipped out of tha | (Continued on Page Two.)

He | Courtmartial For Rinsworth TAFT STRIPS ADJUTANT GENER- AL OF HIS OFFICE. INSUBORDINATION CHARGED Climax of the Friction Between Offices of Adjutant General and Chief of Staff—Hobson Charges a Conspiracy. ‘Washington, Feb. 15.—Major General Fred C. Ainsworth, adjutant general of the ar) was stripped of his office today by order of President Taft and Wwill appear before a courtmartial on charges said to embrace conduct preju- dicial to good order and discipline and insubordination. His relief from duty was brought about in a letter to him from the secretary of war which bris- tled with sharp criticism. Sensation in Army Circles. " The suspension of General Ains- worth, the first that ever has occurred in the office of the adjutant general, caused a profound sensation in army and congressional circles. It was made the subject of a heated exchange on the floor of thé house, where the army appropriation bill was being debated. Bad Feeling for Some Time. The action of the president was tak- en after several conferences with Sec- retary Stimson. ¥or some time there @ been friction between the adjutant general's office and that of the chief of staff. Clashes were not uncommon and there was almost a total lack of co-operation. The bad feeling culmi- nated whea, in reply to Secretary Stimson's request for some statistical information, General Ainsworth made an answer which tke sccretary felt constrained to accept as a reflection on his own integrity and upon that of other high officers in the department. Unduly Caustic With Superiors. Secretery Stimson's letter of suspen- sion, which was deliverei to General Ainsworth this ‘morning, took up inci- | dents as far back as October, 1909, in | which the secretary held the adjutant general was unduly caustic in dealing with his superiors and In criticising thenm. McCain Acting Adjutant General. Immediately on receiving the letter, General Ainsworti went to his apart- ments and would see only a few inti- | mate friends. He was instructed to await orders in this citv. Colonel H. P. McCain was apoointed acting adjut ant general and immediately began his duties. Not Under Arrest. Although under orders not to leave Washington, General Ainsworth is noi under arrest. He will be technically taken into custody when the military court is formed. At that time he will be served with a copy«of -the charges | preferred azainst him, which are now being drawn oy tha judge advocate | general. He will be permitted to em- ploy counsel. Hobson Shakes His Fist. ‘When naws of the suspension of Gen- eral Ainsworth was received at the capitol the house was debating the amendment in the army appropriation bill extending from three to five years the term of enlistment. This amend- ment had the endorsement of General Ainsworth, but was strongly opposed | by the general staff. “I chargs that the information sup- plied to the committee on military af- fairs has been misleading,” shouted Representative R. P. Hobson of Ala- bama, shaking his fist at his Gemo- cratic colleagues, “that it emanated from the office of the adjutant general and that the sdjutant general expected in return for his services to be made a lieutenant general.” Charges a Conspiracy. He charged that there had been a conspiracy, but absolved Chalrman Hay of any connection with it, how- ever. “I claim that every noble impulse on the part of the chairman has been taken advantage of,” said Mr. Hobson, | Then, referring to General Ainsworth, he continued: “I charge that he supplies his in- formation in an irregular way: that he never sends any statsment through the regular channels.” Hobson’s Charges Repudiated. | Chairman ilay denied in positive | terms that tlie committee has been rafficking with the adjutant general. He added that ths charge of a con- spiracy was false, and said “Every bit of information for which the committee has asked was through the secretary of war and was sent to me by the secretary of war.” Other members of the also repudiated Mr. Hobson's charges. The amendment extending the enlist- ment term to five years was passed by a vote of 101 to T73.
