Wter March t.
WjsiitNr.roN. Nov. 10. In considering
th" prnhible effect of a Democratic, ad
mini'trntion upon Hie. military service
iheco.nt'lui'n has been reached here that
l.eotwd Wood, Major-Clencral and Chief
nf St.ilT. lll prove to be the Issue con
frnntinp President Wilson and hie Score
l.irr of War on March 4.
To lienn iw-uo in nothing to Gen. Wood,
nboiit whom many a conflict had raged
but there 1 no doubt In army circles that
ikiii I'ii retention or removal depends
the immediate future of the army after
n.t M trch Hen Wood has been Chief
nf Staff of the Army since April 22, 1BI0.
nr.d in the two nnd a half yearn that havo
elated Mnce that date has stamped his
per-onali'y and idi upon the entire
military service It in due to (Jen. Wood
that t!i army is now underline a change
-u rlMtiRe which (ten Wood's supporters
call pnftrivle, and w hioli his opponents,
mo.-' r Democrat, characterize, by uito
a dierent name
Th oflire of Chief of Staff is not re
IMrHI 'is M purely political nppointment,
xri it (. the custom of tho incumbent to
lurid in his rf situation whenever there is
achingo of iKlmiiiMrntion, whether there
i-ii h.ince of pany control or not While
the i nU'f of Staff is known as the military
iidvi-er of the Secretary of Wei, he Is
rvu 'v the military adviser of the Prchi
ilnni i-inc ' the Secretary Is usually a
tiviM.ni without expert knowledge on
mu'.i-v matters This fact gives thivJ
e:l!i o ,i decided political tinge.
On' Wood will of course hand in his
irsienation on March 4 next, as soon ah
Woodrow Wilson is inaugurated. His
four ve.ir term of oftiee does not. expire,
however until 1014. more than a year
it"! W hen (Jen. Wood offers his resigna
tion it will then l) up to Mr. Wilson to
rt-' Kin a,. io what he is going to do about
the ttur Department and the army.
The ileparttire of (!en. W'ooil from his
ii a Chief of Rtafl, if brought to pass
iy Mr ilon. will lx hailed with great
ny bv a group of Democrats who for
two years have lieen asiling Gen. Wood
at every opportunity. This element
headed by Representative .lathes Hay,
ir who came into prominence as chair
nan of the House Comtnitteo on Mili
.iry ftairs when thn Democrat captured
he lower branch of the national legis
'iture representative Hay has not
in'Mt.ited to dWcl( his personal op-oo-ition
to Gen. Wood, and wnt charged
with responsibility for the provisions
inserted in the army appropriation bill
list summer which proposed to make
(ien. Wood ineligible for holding hi
present oftice after March 4.
The group in the House which aided
representative May in his proposed army

ho headeda minonty which was ontoed I
to the Wood idea Cen Ains worth's
stubborn opposition to (ien Wood's re-
trni measures in me lace oi me sunnori ,
given Wootl by President Taft and Seo-
rnrV or v.ar rttimson orougni nis uis-to.s-il
from his post on charges of in
sula .r Imation. Gen. Ainsworth settled
the aiTai- very promptly by voluntarily
etirinu from active service on tho day
after hi dismissal.
ltpre.-.-ntativ Hay took up the cause
of fit-n Ainsworth more vigorously than
over following his dismissal and retire
ment .should President Wilson remove
Gen Wood it is believed here that Repre
sentative Hav and Gen. Ainsworth, oven
though the fatter is not now on active
duty, will renew thMr combination to
guide the course of events in the military
service It has even been suggested
that Representative Hay would bring
about the restoration of Gen. Ainsworth
to his former post, but this idea is not
Liken seriously by any one in the military
s-rnre Gen. Ainsworth's appointment
n chief of staff is also suggested and his
tiatne lias been mentioned for appoint
nien' to be Assistant Secretary of War.
Whehr or not Gen. Ainsworth fills any
'flue it seems certain that he will now
taki an active interest in military affairs
in Washington and exert a powerful in
fluence m the War Department and Con
gress committees.
With the triumph of the Hay-Ainsworth
element reversal of many of tho Wood
xilici-'s expected. Chief among these
i- the movement inaugurated by Gen.
Wood toward the building up of a
Nati mal leoerve of trained soldiers by
mi'Miis of long enlistments, part of which
shail be served with tho colors and part
in reserve The beginnings of this plan
were enacted Into law last summer
through a compromise not particularly
a grin-able to Representative Hay. It Is
i "t n all unlikely that an effort will bo
madi to undo what has been done in this
direct ,.,n and substitute a long term of
etilietiiiMnt all of which shall be served
with tin' colors
Kxt-aiisiuii of the army, or rather bring
ing more and more mon under tho influ
I'tifM of military training, has been the
idea tit (ien. Wood. The Democratic
liolirv us disclosed in tho Hay bill has been
inward a contraction. Representative
ilay endeavored not only by tils long en-iL-tnii-nt
plan but by means of cutting out
one-third of tho present cavalry strength
to reduce tho army. Gen, Wood has
luL.ml putting army ofllcers in schools
to i-i;es with military organizations and
in f'.riMgn military .institutions both to
! v.-loi interest in military training and
i I'.vn otlicerH additional advantages,
'i he DemoeratH have hitherto opposed
H I. policies.
I .. Wond Idea has lieen to develop the
n- r.il stalT. to build up a real council
" war which shall lie responsible for
"Kipping out new lines of progress for
.uiny as well n prepare the service
country for possible war. The
It- 'iiocratin policy has been evidently to
iri, in the opposite direction by making
in- War Department bureau 'the pre
il.i'iiti.int element, with the General
b'.il' relegated to secondary importance
WW .tilliH'iiee.
i (m-h Wood haa endeavored to mould
t'n Mir,, military service into an orgaa
i'"'l whole instead of permitting it to

i.i',ite units. Concentration of the

IMMO DISLIKES POLICY
Conservntives Will Havo Show
down To-morrow K. II. ,
Fnrrnr (Jets Out.
Washington, Nov. IB.--A big row
has develojied In the money trust com
mittee of tho House and Samuel Unler
myer is likely to retlro ns counsol,
Tills Information was obtained to
night on top of the resignation of K. 11
Karrar of New Orleans as counsel for the
committee.
Mr Karrar represented the conservative
wing of the committee while Unter
myer was chosen by the radicals.
Chairman Pujo ami other members of
the committee with conservative leanings
are dissatisfied with the way the Inquiry
has been conducted. There will Im a
showdown between the two factions of
the commltteo at a meeting to-morrow.
Mr. Untermyer arrived hero to-night
nnd had a long conference with Chairman
Pujo and Representative Glass of Vir
ginia, a member of tho commit toe It is
the understanding that in his talk with
Mr Pujo the New York lawyer made an
effort to smooth over the troubles that
have disturlted the affairs of tin com
mittee, for several weeks.
The charge is made by Democrats un
friendly to Mr. Untermyer that from
the outset of the money trust inquiry
he hns attempted to usurp prerogatives
that lielong to th committee itself For
example, it is stated that Mr Untermyer
has drawn up a bill embodying a plan
of currency and Ivinking reform and
that he submitted it to rsons prominent
in the financial world
It may U stated on authority that Mr.
Untermyer will not lie rmitted id follow
his own devices in the examination of
witnesses that will appear lfore the
money trust committee This will lm
made plain at to-morrow's meet J ng and
many Democrats believe that when Mr
Untermyer is informed that his activities
are to lie restricted he will hand in his
resignation
Friends of Mr Pujo declare that it is
his intention tn exercise fully the func
tions -ested in the chairman and that 1
accordingly he will take charge of the
examination of witnesses
There hns been had feeling in tho money
trust committee ever since Mr Unter
myer was retained The New Vork
lawyer was not the choice of Chairman
iljn and his npointment was disap
proved by certain conser-ati-e House
leaders. It is generally known in Wash
ington that Mr Untermyer was select.-d
as a means of placating House radicals
at a time when the charge wa made
openly by them that Chairman Pujo and
the majority of his associates were de
termined to "whitewash" the money
trust. Shortly thereafter, at the instance
of Chairman Pujo, II Karrar of New
Orleans, ex-president of the American
Bar Association, was retained as asso
ciate counsel
When seen to-nlKlit Mr Untermyer
denied positively t tint friction had de
veloped lietween himself nnd any member
of the House committee.
"Are you going to remain as counsel
of. the committee" Mr. Untermyer was
asked
"I am," he replied emphatically.
According to reports there is a reason
for the retirement of Mr. Karrar that is
not dselosed on the surface It was
aid by friends of Mr. Pujo that Karrar
resigned because. Mr. Pujo evpeofcl to
havo difficulties with Mr.
Knteniiver
and would be in a better position to ileal
with the situation summarily if Mr Karrar
was not identitied with the case.
In his telegram announcing his resigna
tion Mr. Karrar deolares that evidence
has already been obtained tending to
disclose the existence nf a money trust
which he says exercises the siwer of
creating or preventing panics at will.
Mr. Karrar asserts that State anil Kederal
legislation is necessary to regulate tho
operations of the so-called money trust.
He says'
. ' , .
Complications and exigencies have arise,,
In my professional Hffalrs hlrh make It
Imperative that I should resign my post
as counsel for your honorable committee in
the money trust investigation. I am not
In a position to make the sacrifice required
Io give up my whole practice and deote
myself to your service as it would be my
duty to do in order to serve you as you
hould bo served.
My assoclutcs and I havo canvassed the
matter thoroughly and in the absence of
the necessary act of Congress to permit
probine of national banks havo laid out mid
ugreed upon for submission to the com
mittee lines of further Investigation of the
clearing house and stock exchange and the
concentration of the funds and the control
of the affairs of the great Interstate com
merce corporations by a handful of men In
New York who nro part of the flnpnulnl
ring that controls the hanks and trust com
panies and who have tho power to create
u panic on the Stock K.xchangit at uny time
they wish, as they did on October 21, 1007,
li',withdrawlntr their loans from brokers on
tho floor of that exchunje.
I profoundly appreciate tho honor con
ferred upon mo by the committee in naming
me as ono of their counsel, and it is with
the greatest resret that I And myslf unable
to continue In their servlre In an Investiga
tion which Is of the Upermost Importance
to the people of this republic and nhlch
I know will disclose abuses which require
legislation both State nnd Kederal.
I shall make no claim against the com
mittee for profesMfyyl services, but will
forward a statement of my actual expenses
for the consideration of the committee.
In accordance with a call issued some
weeks ago by Chairman Pujo tho money
trust committee will assemble In this
city to-morrow , Nearly all tho members
will be present. It is tho purpose of tho
committee to map out tho programme
for the winter, At to-morrow's session
u list of witnesses who oro to be called
will bo made up. Chairman Pujo will
urge that tho hearings bo concluded by
Deconibor ID. It Is Mr. Pujo's hope and
ho is working to that end that the commit -tee
shall coinploto its work of research
by December 20 and then buckle down
to the task of preparing a report to bo
made to tho House. Whether Mr. Pujo's
plan in this regard will be approved by
the committee remains to be ween,
There has been friction in tho money
trust committee from tho beginning of
the inquiry. It now develops that some
fettling has grown on tho part of Repre
sentative Glass of Virginia, who is chair
man or tne siiD-oommittee mat was

that his sub-committee will report before
the date named. It is reKrtcd that Mr.
l'ujo Is somewhat displeased over tho
apparent unwillingness of Mr. Glass to
fall in with his plan to complete tho entlro
Investigation at this session.
The fads are that there are fundamental
differences lietween Mr Pujo and Mr.
Glass over the money qinstion. Mr
Pujo was n memler of the National
Monetary Commission and nlgned the
Aldrlch reort He believes in the plan
of currency reform that Iteurs Nolson

With the retirement of Mr. Pujo from
Congress on March I Mr Glass will be
come chairman of tho Committee on
Hanking and Currency, the plice now
held by Mr Pujo. Mr. Glass will then
Im In n position where ho can handle all
monev bills ami give precedence to his
measure in amendment to the banking
and currency laws.
The indications are that the House
will not attempt to amend the banking
nnd currency law sat this session. Speaker
Clark has already pointed out that as tho
session will last only thre months there
will be time only for the con if lei at inn
of routine business. It is the general
understanding that currency legislation
lis well as tariff revision bills will lm

one of tho largest independent retailors
in the city Mr. Roberts asked pormls.
slon to make a -oluntary statement be.
fore he was questioned by ths com
mission nnd the lawyers, and ho asserted
that the Pennsylvania Railroad brought
coal to this city for $1.75, while the Read
ing charged $1.90 from the same region,
although having a shorter haul.
While General Manager Dice of the
Reading was on tho stand to-day Vioe
Presidctrt Voorhees continually coached
the attorneys for the railroads, but Mr
Dice made a poor witness and was asked
to Htep aside. K. H. Crossley, chief of
the coal freight department of the Read
ing, was then called.
Displeased at the apiarently evasive
answers offered by Crossley former. Gov
ernor Pennypacker finally took personal
charge of the examination,
"ou ha-e testified here that the exist
ing rate on anthracite has been in exist
ence for about lifteon years," he said.
"Have not conditions changed sufficiently
in that time to warrant a rex-ision of the
rate?"
"1 do not believe they have."
"Well, now, let's see. The sien nf cars
has increased; the si7 of engines ha.s
increased; the weight of rails and cnns--

say. enter into the making of a freight
rate. And yet, with all these changes,
you think there lias lieen no cause for a
revision of rates?"
Mr. Crossley began an explanation, but
Gov Pennypacker Interrupted him with,
"You can answer that 'yes' or 'no '"
"No, I do not," said lr. Crossley

It took one day for the Fruit Ruyers
Association to win its strike against the
receivers of California fruit. With the
exception of one or two of the receivers
or brokers for the California shippers,
who held out, the receivers agreed yester
day to the terms of the buyers that only
a cents should be charged for carting a
box of fruit.
As a result many carloads of California
fruit wero auctioned yesterday at the
piers of the Erie Railroad at the foot
of Chambers street Tho receivers held
a meeting in the morning in the offices
of Stelnhardt Jt Kelly in Park place and
agreed to the terms of tho buyers.
'I he agents for the shippers in California
decided that the opposition was so strong
that hundreds of carloads of fruit would
rot unless the demands of the buyers wore
granted.

NCK in every four years a
ihn Biirfnro. Wc believe
cier" is such a book.
Broad in its scope, sweeping in its power, it is only fair to add
that it is almost brutal in its naked picturing of the lust for wealth
and the hunger or love.
It is not for those who fear the fighting force of a strong man,
nor is it the unfolding of a lovely life.
It is first of nil a great, absorbing, haunting story, then it is
perhaps a lesson "wt, taken all in all its bigness, its insight into
larger phases of our life it seems destined to rank as one of the
great examples of modern fiction.
