Efficiency of Bureau Chiefs. The provision which permits the President to terminate a detall to the staff is of the high- | est importance. Nothing could be more un- | practical than the present permanent tenure {'of the chief of a bureau. The President, as | commander-in-chief, is responsible for the ef- | ficiency of the army. In time of war he is expected by the country to produce results by its use. He can determine who shall command the armies and can change generals in col mand as often as he chooses, but he is abso- lutely powerless as to the heads of these great departments which organize and assemble and feed and clothe and transport and arm and equip and care for the army. Victory or de- eat is organized in the staff departments be- e a shot is fired. Inefficlency in them means ccessary disaster at the beginning and the | expenditure of countless treasure and the sac- rifice of countless lives. Yet no matter how plainly inadequate to the tagk the head of one © heee departments may be, the President is | powerless to make a change unless the officer mits some distinct and heinous _offense which he can be court-martialed and dis- ssed from the service. The Secretary said care had been taken | | to protect the rights of incumbents of | staff positions he understood the eat majority of them were satisfied to “cept the change cheerfully. Their op- tion, he said, was purely personal and of the same kind which for years had un- dermined every attempt at improving |army organizations. Such considerations | should not prevafl. He then explained the provisions of the | bill in detail, dwelling ‘especially on those relating to the artillery. An increase of 6500 men, almost all in the coast artillery, had been provided for, but fhe increase | would be spread over five years, and in | order to avoid raising any question as to | the size of our army at this time. the | 1300 increase each year would be made up | by recruiting that many fewer in other arms of the service. The regimental or- | ganization was abandoned as to the ar- | { tillery, and the battery or company | adopted as the unit of organization, sub- | stantially all military authorities being agreed that there was only a muitiplica- tion *of red tape, and no sense, in trying | | to_administer the artillery arm on a regi- mental basis when only one battery as a A chief of ar-| this, should rule was in one locality | tillery was provided in order that ke other important branches, have a responsible head. | Some Opposition Develops. Members of the committee asked many questions and showed great interest in the Secretary’s statement. The provision giving the adjutant general of the army the rank of major general developed some on, and Marsh of Iilinois moved ike it out, but the motion did not prevail. Section 2, which is Intended to appply to General Shafter. again brought out a motion by Jett of Illinois to strike ut, which also failed. The bill as.a as then agreed to by a divided he first section abolishes post and authorizes the President to t a'chaplain for each regiment, reg- and volunteers. The other section is the President is hereby authorized to the retired list of the army an of- above the rank of brigadier general, distinguished himself during . in command of a separate . by and with the adviee , the officer so se- or general United States army. 1 have the rank, general HORRIFYING pay and allowances of a ~TRMIN WRECK Women Burned to Death in Full View of Rescuers. i ‘ i Special Dispatch to The Call. . KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 2T.—The hliz- zard prevailing throughout Western Mis- souri was the Cirect cause of a train| wreck to-night on the main line of the Missour! Pacific Rallroad, in which at | least two persons and possibly more were | killed and several others were badly hurt. | The fast Louis day express, due to | arrive in Kansas City at 5:45 this evening, | was delayed by a frelght train which stuck in a snow drift two miles south of | Independence, Mo., about twelve miles out | of Kansas City. The St. Louis locai pas- | senger train, running forty minutes benind he fast express, came on through the | blinding snowstorm and crashed into the express train ahead, the engineer having failed in the driving snow to see the dan. ger signal which the first train had sent back. | | Such was the force of the collision that | the parlor car, which was in the rear uof | the first train, was literally cut in iwo. | When Engineer Frank Raymond and his fireman escaped from the wreck they crawled out through the windows of the | parlor car. Fire added to the horrors of | the wreck, coals from the furnace of the | shattered engine having fallen among the debris of the splintered coach, and soon the whole wreck was ablaze. Two or more persons, it ie believed, were burned. A :ist | of the dead and seriously injured, so far as known, is as follows: Dead: | MRS. J. G. SCHMIDLAPP, Cincinnati; nstantly killed; body recovered. UNKNOWN WOMAN; body consumed in wreck. | Injured: J. G. Schmidlapp, Cincinnati, | will recover. Miss Schmidlapp, Cincinnati, | scalded; will lose sight of both eyes, | Mrs. J. Balke, Cincinnati; mother of Mrs. Schmidlapp, badly scalded, eyesight | ost, but_may recover. W. R.

Mrs. Eliza- | beth Lee, Cincinnatl; scalded. | | _All of the injured have been brought to | the University Hospital in Kansas City. | William Rost, a farmer, near whose place the wreck occurred, and who was | one of the first to render any assistance | to the imperiled passengers, is quite- sure | that at least three women were burned in the wreck. When he reached the car| flames were crackling through the splint- | ered woodwork of the car at one end, | while at the other a cloud of blistering | steam wag belching from the locomo- tive, which had npSed the coach open | from end to end. n_every side were | men and women crying for assistance. | Mr. Rost’s first act was to pull from the | | wreck a woman whose legs were sticking out through a broken window. She was not badly hurt. By the time this had | been nccomf-lished other pasflen%ers from { the forward coaches had come back and helped out all of those in the burning car who could be reached. | Mr. Rost states that he saw the body | of one woman jammed in the roof of the | burning coach, and that it was not | reached by the rescuers. The body of an- other woman was consumed in full view of the passengens who gathered about the wreck. Mr. Rost and others tried to drag her out, but she was pinioned under heavy | wreckage. Mr. Rost says the young wo- man was apparently dead, as he reached her hand and there was no_ response to | | his efforts at rescue. He describes the woman as about 2 years of age. She | wore a dark dress and a leather chate- | laine hung from her waist. Mr. Rost believes that he saw the body of still a third woman wedged between timbers of the burring coach, but before he could get closer the fire and smoke and steam obscured his view.

BUSINESS MAN' DENOUNCED L R Citizens in Mass-Meeting Adopt Res- olutions Branding Louis Kutner as a Moral Coward and So- cial Outcast. SR Special Dispatch to The Call. MADERA, Feb. 2.—Bessie' Evans, a popular young waitress employed at the | Yosemite Hotel, swallowed an ounce of | carbolic acid last Tuesday morning and | ran into the room of Louis Kutner, a prominent business man, where she died a few minutes later. At first the fact of her having died in the young man's room was regarded as a mere accident, but upon closer investigation evidence was discovered which appeared to argue more than that. Two notes were found, both of which had been written by the girl and ad- dressed to Kutner. In the first she said that she loved him and that if it were not | for him she would not kill herself. The second note was written on the back of a | postal card and was a trite quotation to | the effect that ‘‘chastity is the most priceless gift that God has given to wo- man, and it should be returned to Him unsullied.” This note was signed with | the girl’s initials, “B. E.” The Coroner's jury investigated the case and examined several witnesses. It read the notes written by the girl and ad- R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R RN R R R RN R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R e, dressed to Kutner. The inguest resulted in a verdict of suicide, the jury failing to | fix any re ibilit When the notes were read at the in- quest and other evidence brought out, the | facts created a sensation. A number of the society women of the town, headed by Mrs. Dr. But held a meeting at which it was decided to issue a call for a mass meeting of citizens to take place at the Presbyterian Church last night. Fully 200 of Madera's citizens were in attend- ance and the discussion was of the most animated description. The facts in the case were reviewed and young Kutner was denounced. A set of resolutions was finally adopted without dissent, in which the young business man was declared to be morally responsible for the death of the girl. Some of the most radical per- tions are as follows: Kutner Denounced. Whereas, An innocent young girl of excellent reputation (by name Bessie Evans) having been betrayed flattering promises and the hope appy home into an unholy alliance | oward, not to say libertine (by Kutner), who by his relationship with her and the conditions into which he hurled her has by these misdeeds Faaadadad dddd dd ldd Il g e e A L P P P P e wantonly unavenged. Therefore be it Resolved. That we, the citizens of Madera, in mase mee! assembled, in the name of moral purity, home and justice, do hereby call upon all to whom these presents may come to use every moral influence to erase from our midst & social outcast Resolved, That we view with consternation the attitude of the Madera Times in this case, in which it makes an effort to gloss over this tion of the dead girl a newspaper tries t We believe that where » condone such a crime as thie it is not worthy of the respect or support The next resolution asks the Board of | Supervisars of Madera County to with- | draw all the county patronage from the | Times. The paper is a weekly and is| edited by J. E. Nugent. It suppressed the sensational features of the suicide in its account of the affair, and defended Kut- | ner. 'ine Mercury, another weekly, takes the side of the people as represented in the mass meeting. The suicide and its consequences have worked up the people of Madera to a state of high excitement. Kutner has left town and it is said that he is in San Francisco.
