Senate Committee on Military Aflalrs‘ concerning the nomination of Briga- | dier General Leonard Wood to be! made major general has been supplied | to all the Senators. The printed tes- timony shows that General James H. _Wilson was particularly severe in his | criticism of General Wood, and while | jon the stand also criticized President | McKinley for making him a brigadier general. This criticism was brought out by the following quesllon Senater Foraker: You think that President Mcmn-' ley made a mistake when he made | General Wood a brigadier general?” | Answe! think he made a deadly | mistake. When he made that ap- pointment I think he gave the great- | est shock to the sense of discipline and | fairness of the American army that it has ever received.” General Wilson further stated, as re- ported exclusively in The Call, that General Wood was not at the battle of San Juan, and told the committee that he had informed the President, then Governor of New York, of this fact. This evidence was refuted by Secretary | Root when he went on the stand a few days.later. Root said that General Wood was not only at the battle of San | Juan, but that his division commander had reported him for conspicuous brav- y and for handling his troops so \\eu\ t he desired to recommend him for The Secretary further sald that General Wood was at the bloody “in the hottest and heaviest fire | that our men had to endure, when men | were falling all around him.” Continu-| ing he said: | from | “I think I ought to say, too, that a| part of the facts upon which President | Roosevelt determined, so far as was within his power, to keep General Wood in the same order of relative rank where President McKinley had put him was his personal knowledge of General Wood's presence in that fight and of the extraordinary gallantry and effi-| | clency he displayed.” | Regarding General Wilson's state- | ment that President Roosevelt asked | him not to mention the fact that Wood | wvas at the rear during the battle of Sen Juan, Secretary Root said: think I ought to allude to the re-| marks of General James H. Wilson here as to the conversation with the President. Of course, the President | cannot be a witness. The President in- forms me that General Wilson is m taken and that no such conversation regarding General Wood’'s presence at | | the San Juan fight that day ever took place between him and General Wil- son.” e e SATURDAY HORNETS ARE BEATEN BY SAILORS without protection against fire, | Team From British Vessels Wins As- sociation Football Match at Oakland Easily. v i A team of British sallors played a game of association football yester-| day afternoon at Tdora Park, Oakland, against the Saturday Hornets, beating them 6 goals to 0. The ball was kick- ed oft about 3:30 p. m., the saliors having ten men and the *an_rday Hor- nets nine on the fleld. The first period lasted thirty-five minutes, during which the sailors had the best of the play, scoring 3 goals. | Wilding not proving a success as a/ goalkeeper, Henry Roberts took that position and Wilding went into the | forward line. During the second half | Roberts cleared several dangerous shots well, but Alexander, at center | forward, got the ball past him three times, making ‘thgpscere 6 to 0. For the sailors’ Alexander and Hol- | 1and did the best work in the forward | | line, the defense of the Hornets being weak. Knight, the goalkeeper of the | sallors’ team, cleared well and dis-| posed of three or four good shoa« made by the Hornets at their oppo- | nents’ goal. For the Hornets Cham- bers and Shand showed to the besl advantage. The tegms occupied the following positions: Saturday ! sallors. Position, Hornets. | Knight. . . Goalkeepers ..

The, new green of the Scotch bowl- ers at Golden Gate Park was not in condition to be used yesterday and no tournament matches were decided. The grass is dying and it was thought best to allow the new grass to come | up. A few of the most enthusiastic | players journeyed to the old green at Recreation Park and indulged in prac “tice games. The closest and most ex: citing match was that between D. Dal- fel and W. R. Eaton and E. J. Clin- | _ton and Dr. Hamilton. The match was even up to the last two ends, | which were won by Dalzlel and Eaton. | The score in their favor was 21 to 18. | Another match that was close was that in which Dalziel and Eaton beat | M. L. Crowe and Dr. Hamilton. The winners were in fine form in both' matches and did some clever bowl- ing. . The score was 21 to 19. Three other matches were played, but they | were all rather one-sided. They re- | sulted as follows: Stewart and J. Mec- | Lachlan beat ‘R. Park and J.

Noise on Elevated Roads. Some interesting experiments are in vated electric railway. Complaints have been frequent concerning the ! noise made by the cars on the elevated structure. The first experiment con- ! sisted in inserting three layers of feit between the rails and the wooden cross ties on which they were laid. This was inadequate, however, although it gave some improvement. Next, hollow iron | course of prosecution on the Berlin ele- | girders filled with loose sand were sub- | stituted for the wooden sleepers: this also was partially effective, but not entirely so. The rails were then laid on long longitudinal sleepers with cushions of lead under them. Finally the car wheels have been lined “with wood, so as to break the continuity of | the path for vibrations through metal. These experimental remedies are still on trial, but no definite conclusions con- | cerning them have been announced.— Chicago Inter Ocean. —_——— Katatypes.” “Katatypes” are a new kind of pho- tographic print introduced by Her- | I came ren Ostwald and Gros of Leipzig and | | made without the use of light. function of light in photography (as | now regarded) is to accelerate the | chemical reactions.

Women who are asking how to keep young as the gray hairs appear above their brows would do well to try the recipe of an old lady who, although she had seen eighty years, never im- pressed one as being old, because her heart was still young and sympathetic. W asked how she had secured such apparent youth in age she said: “I knew how to forget disagreeable things. “I tried to master the art of saylng pleasant things. “I did mot expect toe much of my friends. . “I kept my nerves well in hand and did not allow them to bore other peo- ple I tried to find any work that came to hand congenial. : “I retained the illusions of my youth and did not believe ‘every man a Har’ and every woman spiteful. “I did my best to relleve the misery in contact” with and sympa- thized with the suffering. “In fact, I tried to do to others as I would be done by New York Press. —_—————————— He Knew Politics. City Committeeman John Boyle of Philadelphia was consulted by some fellow Democrats as to a certain can- didate for ward _leadership. “Mr. Blank is a first- rate man,” said one of his callers. “He talks like a book, as the saying is.” Mr. Boyle responded bluntly, “We don’t want a man that talks like a book.
