CLAIMS WOOD
WAS DISLOYAL
TO OWN CHIEF
Scott Finds Charges
‘Fully Established’ by
Evidence.
RECORD OF 1898 PROBE
WASHINGTON. March 9.—Senator
Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia, a mern
*er of the senate committee which beard
the voluminous testimony against Gen.
Leonard Wood In the matter of his con
firmation to be a major general in the
army, said in his report to the senate
that, among other things, Leonard Wood |
was clearly proved to have been disloyal j
to his superior officer, Gen. Brooke, in j
Cuba.
“Referring to the conduct of Gen.
Wood to bis superior officer, Gen.
Brooke, and his disloyalty to him, 1 sub
mit that no impartial person can review
the evidence in this matter carefully j
without reaching |he conclusion that
that charge is fully established."
Senator Scott sets forth that Wood
was a subordinate officer commanding
the district of Santiago In Cuba. MaJ.
Gen. Brooke was the military governor
of Cuba. The time was during the
American occupation of the Island sub
sequent to the Spanish war. Maj. Run
cte was a retired army officer, a close
friend and confidant of Wood, who was
in Cuba in an unofficial confidential ca
pacity, and lived with Wood.
CORRESPONDENT IN
CCBA AS GEEST.
A corespondent of a New York maga
rine, R. S. Baker, went to Cuba, and was
invited to dine with Runcie and Wood,
according to the testimony.
Baker later published two articles:
One eulogizing Wood, the other, under
the signature of Maj. Runcie, a bitter de
nunciation of Gen. Brooke, Wood's su
perior. This was published In the North
American Review of February, 1900.
Some months before, however, Brooke
had been actually relieved from the po
sition of military governor of Cuba and
Wood put In his place. Wood's critics
claim.
Senator Scott says In his report.
“Baker and Runcie are at utter vari
ance with each other as to the manner in
which this article was to be published,
but the significant and important feature
is the emphasis placed by Runcie, on
the 26th of November, when he wrote
Baker of the importance of having the
letter then printed where it would be
read, and concluding—‘Things here have
recently been even worse than when you
were here, but there seems to be a dawn
lug light atound Washington, and it may
be the beginning of a better day for
Wood, as well as Cuba.'
WOOD’S COMPANION*
WRITER OF LETTER.
"This letter," continues the senator,
“was written by Runcie, the boon com
panion of Wood, living with him at the
time.” Scott adds that 'Wood, though
formally denying the charge of disloyalty
to Brooke, “has not favored us with his
evidence."
Runcie claimed that he was to furnish
the material for the article which Baker
was to print as his own; Baker claims
that Gen. Wood's knowledge of the mat
ter extended only to the first article
eulogizing Wood, and not To the second
criticising his superior officer.
Senator Scott concludes that Baker
•'spilled the beans" by publishing the ar
ticle under Runcie's name.

KISSES! ~;
>
They Are Applied in Odd
Ways Oftentimes—For
Instance:
The beautiful “kisses that come In the
night," the ones that caused some music
writers to write, are faded right down
to a cheap little emite. when compared
with some others we know of—a fright!
For instance. Mack Hanley in Spokane,
they say, to gather a “kick" has a neat
littie way; Fritzie Fritz is his partner,
in Todvll they play, and they kiss in
the wings before showing each day.
“It's great," proclaims Hanley, “to
every day drink of the love that's dl- ■
vine” (he lores Frizie, we And
his partner declares, with a sly little
wink, “if we didn’t 'twould put our
whole act on the blink." .. y
And then, in Toledo. John Bebalble
has hit the funniest, kisstest, oddiest bit
of promiscuous kissing—he near threw a
fit—yet what could he do but stand up
and take it?
It seems that this man's marriage day
came about, and the girls In his factory
NEXT :
soon found It out. They gathered a
graphophone—then with a shout, lined
up for a kiss from the groom—did he
pont?
Well, hardly, for John was a regular
guy—he handed out kisses to girls pass
ing by, and after four hours said: “I
thought I would die,” But other men
workers remarked, “Gosh, that’s pie!"
So in spite of the fact that they say
; osculation is really a bad, risky thing
for our nation, you can not deny that it
oatfses sensation—except in the case
where you kiss a relation.

FLYERS TO RACE
ACROSSPACIFIC
California to China, 8,777
Miles in Four Hops.
NEW YORK, March 9.—The United
States navy is preparing two giant flying
boats for the first flight across the Pa
cific ocean, according to an announce
ment of the Manufacturers’ Aircraft as
sociation made public today which said
that two boats, nearly twice the size of
the NO 4, which made the first transat
lantic flight, have been planned.
The proposed route lies from San
Francisco to Hongkong. China, a dis
tance of 7,616 nautical miles, or about
8,777 land miles. Stops will be made at
Honolulu, Wake Island, Guam, and Ma
nila. From Honolulu to Wake Island ts
approximately 2,0*0 miles; Wake island
to Guam, 1,320 miles; Guam to Manila,
1.320 miles, and Manila to Hongkong,
673 miles.
The flight has been made possible, the
association says, by an invention of
Edson Gallaudet of East Greenwich, U.
1., whereby three Liberty engines are
coupled to one eighteen-foot propeller.
The new boats will have three separate
power plants, each containing three high
compression Liberty engines, or nine
motors to each ship.
The boats will be triplanes with a
wing spread of 140 feet, as compared
with a spread of 126 Vi feet of the NC
boats. Each boat, will have a wing area
of about 6.0C0 feet and carry a crew or
sixteen men. The hulls will be sixty
seven feet long, twenty-two feet
than that of the NC 4. The cruising
radius is estimated at 2.100 nautical
miles, nearly twice that of the NC craft.

The standard farm tractor is a tremen

Every Farmer or Gardener Needs It
The Midwest Utilitor is a general utility
small tractor and all-purpose power plant
unit of approximately four-horse rating
that fills a real need on every large or small
farm, truck garden-or suburban estate.
What the Utilitor Does
The Utilitor does all one horse could do
—and much that no horse could possi
bly do.
It plows and cultivates the odd plots, or
the truck garden.
It mows large lawns.
It saws wood or runs the churn.
It. operates corn sheller or cream sep
arator.
Tt. puts power into the washing machine
and runs any type of light machinery on
the belt.
Also for Farm Lighting
In connection with the Utilite Farm
Lighting Unit, it economically genemtes
electricity for farm and suburban light
ing systems.
It moves from job to job on its own
power—
—multiplies human output and elim
inates manual labor from almost every
department of farm work.

Utilitor is the final and indispensable link

Big Food Production Necessary
The growers, the fanners, the gardeners
of America have today an unusual world
market for their products.
There is a great, and urgent need for big
food production, also an ample reward for
those who help fill it.
An investigation is sure to prove to yon
that in your endeavor toward a greater yield
from farm, garden and orchard, the Utilitor
can aid you more, probably, than any other
single piece of farm machinery.
