ALSO HIS PLACING OF RETIRING MEN Advanéement of General Auman Par- rly Pleasing on Account of His Services at Battle of San Jua At army headquarters here the recent appointment of general officers by the presi- dent 1s recelved with pleasure, not only be- cause the men so advanced are deserving of every honor which can be conferred upon them, but because the appointments Indi- cate that the president is doing what he can under adverse laws to reward men who have faithfully and well served the gov- ernment in minor positions, and that, while restricted In the number of appolntments, be will provide for retirement at higher rank than at present held by men who are especially deserving. ‘This opinion is based upon the fact that of the men appointed to be brigadier gen- erals all will retire under the e limit within & year, the one having the longest term to serve being General Simon Snyder, who will retire next February. General Bird will be the first to retire, his term of service expiring by limitation June 17 of the present year, while General Auman will re- tire in October.

It eopecially pleased with the appolntment of General Auman, who by many of the offi- cers of the army Is held to be the hero of the fight at San Juan hill in Cuba. He was Captain Auman then, commanding a company In the Thirteenth regiment of infantry. In the battle at San Juan every regimental cfficer was killed or infured. so that before the fight was half over the command of the regiment &evolved upon Captain Auman. His subordinates in the regiment and those who observed closely its operation were loud in their praise of the veteran captain and many were very much disappointed when in the rewards which came to officers for excellent work in Cuba the name of Auman was not uvon the list. Justice Comes at Last. The failure of the men in higher au- thority to recognize the work of the cap- tain called forth many protests and sevezal letters appeared in army journals callinx attention to the oversight om the part on the government. Mr. Roosevelt was at San Juan and probably had personal knowl- edge of the work of Captain Auman on that day, so the friends of that officer look upon his present appointment as in a de- gree removing whatever injustice may have been done him previously. Major Henry S. Turrill, who has been ordered to report from the Philippines to relieve Colonel Winne as chlef surgeon of the Department of the Missourl. will be the senlor major in the medical corps and vpon the retirement of General Sternbere. who will ‘retire In June, will become a lleutenant colonel. The chief quartermaster of the depart- ment has recelved orders to purchase elghty-four horses for the battalion of en- gineers now stationed at Fort Leavenworth The officers who have held the position of quartermaster at this headquarters are very well acquainted with the horse and mule barns at Lathrop, Mo., which are now said to be used by the British government in deflance of the rights of neutral nations. Sald one of these officers: ‘“The mule de- pot at Lathrop is one of the most complete in the west. Mr. Guyton, the principal owner of the business, is one of the men who sell large numbers of horses and mules to the American government and to other countries as well. At the present time he has a contract with the British government to feed the horses and mules brought to that depot by their purchasing agents. His contract calls for the feeding of 5,000 ani- mals dally and he draws pay for that num- ber whether they are fed or not, but he says that frequently thers are as many as 10,000 apimals fed for the British govern- ment and that the number seldom falls be- low the minimum of 5,000." ‘The chief quartermaster has received or- ders to advertise for bids for the construc- tion of two detached lavatories at Fort Robinson, with steam heat and sewers com- plete, for the accommodation for four com- panies. | Private Jobn Carroll of Company H, Twenty-second infantry, at Fort Crook, hi been transferred to the hospital corps. | Patrick J. Maloney, acting hospital steward, has been ordered to join the third battalion of the Twenty-second, DOw at target prac- tice on the Winnebago Indian reservation. He accompanies Captailn Straub, the sur- geon, who will joint the battalion at Blair and march with the troops to the reserva- tion. Goud ror Rheumatism. Last fall 1 was taken with a very severe attack of muscular rheumatism, which caused me great pain and annoyance. After trylog several preecriptions and rheumatic cures 1 decided to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which I had seen advertised in the South Jerseyman. After two applications of this remedy 1 was much better, and after using one bottle was completely cured.— END OF TUKEY PLAT MATTER Final Exchange of Correspondence Between Real Estate Dealer nd City Engineer. OMAHA, April 18.—To the Editor of The Bee: I want space to reply to the city en- gineer's letter in The Bee, and to say that I am responsible for what I may say over my signature, but am not in any way re- sponsible for what I am quoted as saying in any alleged interview. Mr. streets and alleys that were subject to mortgages. 1 will answer the question frankly by saying that I had no right on glad to have the public know it. Mr. Rosewater has given us quite enough insinuations and innuendo and it is about time to get down to facts, and for that “A prominent club woman,” whose ident- ity s generally guessed and who is ad- mitted to be from New York, is credited with the statement that “the General Fed- eration has been nearly wrecked by ineff- clent handling; it now wants a woman at the head who is known, not merely as- sumed, to be a skilled hand and a broad- minded leader.” This statement sounds rather awkward coming from * a promi- nent member” of the state federation that has supplied the present vice president and the woman who for one year of the present term acted as president of the General Fed- eration In the absence of Mrs. Lowe—and, incidentally, the woman that that same state federation is bending every effort to elect as Mrs. Lowe's successor at the Los Angeles blennial, Mrs. Dimies T. 8. Denl- son, president of Sorosis. In a full-page article in the San Fran- clsco Examiner of April 6 Mrs. Mary Urqu- hart Lee is quoted as saying ome ot the friends of Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, past president of the California federation, are urging her candidacy for the presidency of the General Federation, but probably the best-loved woman in the federation today and the one best fitted to harmonize all tactions and insure the looking to better thigs is Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker of Den- ver” Mrs. Mary Urqubart Lee is not alone In this specuiation. There is a strong undercurrent of feeling all over the country in favor of Mrs. Decker, who fulfills all of the requirements stipulated by the “'promi- nent club woman" from New York and is sufficlently far removed from Massachusetts and Georgla and the sections influenced by them to act unbiased for the best interests of the organization. Her ability to direct large affairs cannot be questioned, owing to her past valuable service to the General | Federation of Woman's Clubs, and it seems especially fitting that this trying period of sectional differences should be embraced to try what the ability of the middle west can do for the General Federation. To be sure Mrs. Burdette represents a scction even further removed from the east | and south, but it must be admitted that | she s prominent in clubdom for having ited the clubs and federations of twenty- five different states during the last six months rather than for any especially prominent service she has remdered the General Federation outside of California. As for Mrs. Alice Bradford Wiles of Chi- cago there iIs such a diversity of opinion regarding her ability among Chicago club women that it is dificult to estimate her real strength as a candidate, Mrs. Denison's service in the executive of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs will probably give her the suppert of that Rosewater | asks what right 1 had to sell property upon | earth to do 8o, and if he will point out a | single case where I have done 0 I shall be | I think | !purpnn 1 enclose, herewith, a copy of the | letter I mailed Mr. Rosewater yesterday, | which I trust he will answer in due season. Please publish the letter in connection with | | this article. If Mr. Rosewater will honestly | answer the questions contained in this let- | ter I will gladiy leave the decision of this controversy to the same unsuspecting pub- lic whom he would have you believe I am trying to Inveigle into dark places and for | whom he and the city council show such a sudden and great desire to protect and guide. Very truly, A. P. TUKEY. OMAHA, Neb.,* April 17.—Mr, A. Ros | water, City Engineer, City Dear Sir— | Will you Kindly publicly answer the fol- lowing questions, in the next issue of The Omaha Bee, without equivocation or eva- , for the benetit of the public: rst—Are there any mortgages, of rec- | ord, of any kind whatever, covering block 2, Bemls park, or covering the twenty acres in the southwest guarter of the southeast quarter of section township 16, range 13? | Second—Are there any back taxes on the above twenty acres? v Third—As thfs land is bounded on the body, and then she will have the support of the east, which promises to have a large representation at Los Angeles. Mrs. Decker is not a candidate for the presidency and is in favor of the election of Mrs. Denlson, but Colorado club women are fairly insisting upon her accepting a nomination, and if she does she will un- doubtedly receive the support of the middle west, and probably of the south as well. The committee appointed by the art de- partment of the Woman's club has made its selection of four busts and two figures to be placed in the reading room of the High school. The busts are Minerva, Homer, Hermes and Ajax and the figures Michael Angelo's Lorenzo de Medici and Giulano de Medici. They are to occupy the immovable windows on two sides of the room and will be in place about the middle of May. The women of the First Baptist church will hold a sale of home-made cakes tomor- row at 1517 Douglas street, the proceeds to 0 to the fund they are raising for the year. The annual election of officers of the housebold economic department was held Thursday morning, all of the officers serv- ing last year being re-elected—Mrs. H. C Townsend, leader; Dr. Millen, assistant leader; Mrs. T. H. Smith, secretary; Mrs. Weaver, treasurer, and Mrs. W. L. Beard, treasurer of the philanthropic funa It was decided to continue the department "meetings until May 1 and the committee for next year's program will meet during tbe coming week to decide upon the course for next season. Several excellent suggestions were made by members of the department, among them being the study of the model house, to consist of a series of papers and discussions on the various rooms, depart- ments and branches of the model home. Announcement of the v -t department kindergarten will be made later. After the business sesston the remainder of the hour was occupied Wilh an address on “Biology” by Prof. Benedict of the High school. The members of the executive committee of the Nebraska Women's Christian Temper- ance upion will attend their semi-annual meeting, to be held at Lincoln, April 29-30 with confiicting sentiments. This will be the last segsion at which Mrs. 8. M. Walker of Lincoln, etate president, will attend iv ner official capacity, as her resignation goes into effect June 1. Mrs. Walker's with- drawal from the work, which will be made necessary by her removal from the state, will occasion genuine regret on the part of the entire organization. She bas so care- north by the county road, on the west by Forty-second stree(, and on the south by | Fort' street, has the owner the right to sell this property, as 1 nave advertised to do, in acre or five-acre tracts, without making any new streets or alleys of any kind whatever, without getting the consent of the city enginecr or of the city council? Fourth—Have a majority of the plats of d by the city engineer and the city during the past fifteen years, been free from mortgages at the time ‘they were platted? Very respect- fully, A. P. TUKEY. OMAHA, April 18.—A. P. Tukey, Esq Responsive to yours of April 17, requesting | answers to certaln questions through The Bee, 1 submit that the matter has been laid before the city council and by it ai- | rected to be placed in the hands of the law department of the city. My statements were explicit and unequiv- ocal. The fact that other parties have vio- lated the law in the past is no justification. tespectfully, ANDREW ROSEWATER, City Engineer. Woman’s Work in Club and Charity tully supervised the work during her eight years as president that there is no depart- ment that has not felt the impetus of her turthering interest, no leader but has been encouraged by her counsel and no member that has not been inepired by her example. The work will for the present be supervised by the vice president, Mrs. Wheelock, whose efficient service in the past has inspired the confidence of all. The result of the spring election in many of the towns of the etate shows a percepri- ble increase in the temperance work that la most encouraging. The general advanes- ment of the work, department interests, the possible establishment of a lecture bureau and many other things will be considered at the coming meeting. The public Is invited, especially to the evening sessions. The convention promises to be a large one, all superintendents of departments, the county presidents and general officers, seventy-five in all, being members of the executive com- mittee. ““Missionary Mymns" will be the subject of Sunday's gospel meeting at the Young Women's Christian association, Mrs. Byers to make the address. The assoclation’s anniversary service will be held at 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, April 27, in the assoclation rooms, the an- nual adgress to be given by Rev. H. C. Herring. The meeting promises to be one of the most successtul yet held and all members are urged to be present. An in- vitation is also extended to the men friends of the members. The board of directors will meet at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. Rev. E. F. Trefz will address the literary of the South Branch Monday evening at 8 o'clock, his subject to be “John Ruskin's Message to Young Womanhood." The Sunshine club is devoting its meet- ings of late to work for the assoclation rooms. There was a large attendance at Thurs- day afternoon’s meeting of the Visiting Nurses' assoclation, Mrs. Rogers presiding, owing to the vacancy caused by the resig- nation of the president. It is probable that the vacancy will not be filled until the annual meeting Mrs. Adame, superintendent of nurses, re- ported 384 visits made during the last month, forty-seven patients, two deaths, one case sent to the hospital and three cases requiring special nurses. Miss McNeely, one of the nurses, gave an interesting account of how her days are spent. During the last month the asse- clation has received liberal donations from tnterested friends, EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR Funac. Ohief Donahue Looks with Favor on Three- Shift System. THINKS IT WOULD IMPROVE SERVICE May Recommend the Change to Fire and Police Board and City Council sating it Farther, After Investi- Chlef of Police Donahue is in favor of introducing the three-shift system in the Omaha police department, instead of having the two shifts, as at present. The new system would mean eight hours a day work for the men instead of twelve. as at present, and the chief belleves the change can be made withowt increasing the present force. He is at present investi- gating the question more fully, and in a short time will bring it before the board and the city council. The three-shift system is in vogue at Denver, Nashville, Milwaukece and Buffalo and has lately been adopred at Minneapolis and other cities. Under the present system the men go to work at 7 o'clock in the morning and work until 7 in the evening, with an hour and a Lalf for lunch, the night men going on at 7 in the evening and reporting off, except six men who do dog-watch duty, at 4 in the morning, these men being allowed forty minutes for lunch. The chief belleves that by the elght-hour plan more efcient work could be done and the men would be In & much better condition to do the work. Works Well Elsewhere. “I advocated such a change two years ago In my annual repor sald the chief, “‘and have since writt to several chiefs of police who have worked under both sys- tems, and all who have tried it seem bet- ter satisfied with the new plan The chiet of police at Denver wrote tnat the service under the cight-hour system was much bet- ter and the men were in better condition for work. I received the same reply from Nashville. I belleve it can be done with the same number of men. The first shift would report for duty at 8 in the morning and quit at 4, the second work untll 12 and the third until 8 in the morning. The men would be allowed fifteen or twenty minutes for lunch. All the men would be available for emergency duty. When & man walks a beat for twelve hours in the hot sun in the summer time be feels very little like coming back for an hour's work in the gymnastum. The new eystem would mean another captaln and possibly another sergeant, but it could be done with very little extra expense. I am g0ing to attend the national convention of chiefs at Loulsville, Ky, in May, and will find out more about the efficiency of the new system. If there are no unfavorable reports at the convention I shall bring the matter before the board and council Indigestion is the direct cause of disease that kills thousands of persons annually.
