approval and consent of President Taft
and the Secretary of War. clipped Uia
official w1c( of si aJor-Gormi Alns
worth. Adjutant-General of tbe Arar.
h started a war la military circle
thai will continue until Wood or Alna
worth eliminated from tha active
Hat of tho Army. Tha Wood-Alnaworth
fsud I not of rvornt orla-ln: It atartod
porno yesrs as: wbia General Wood
apranc to tho front, and threatened to
bl out Oeneral Alnawortlt. who has
lone had his heart et on becoming;
head of tho Vnlted States Arm-. But
the feud u eurP"4 until re
cently, when General Wood boramo tha
ireuor, and mada hla Junior officer
feel tho weight of hla superior In
fluence. The American Army has never known
a more ambitious officer than General
Alnsworth and. until recently. It had
never known a better politician, But
General Wood baa come to the front,
and shown bis old time rival that be
himself la not only a good soldier,
but an expert at tbe cam of politics,
and moreover when the Alnsworth
brand of politics was placed alongside
the Wood variety. It dwindled Into
Insignificance.
' Alnsworth I Ambition.
General Alnaworth will never be
happy until he gets It. the "It" belns;
the office of chief of staff. Oeneral
Wood, on tho other hand. Is determined
to prevent Alnaworth becoming chief
of stsff. If he can possibly do It. and as
ln as President Tsft remains In the
White lt'ue. there Is no doubt about
General Wood's success. If the next
administration should bo Democratic
however. General Alnaworth may
achieve the distinction be has lone
soucht. for Alnsworth Is a Democrat,
and has strong Democrat lo support la
Congress.
Ity strange coincidence, both General
TVood and General Alnsworth beran
their careers as army doctors; both en
tered tbe service through the Medical
rnrra. Oeneral Wood, however, was
early transferred to the lino, and from
that day to this has bad very wide field
service. not only In the United
Hates, but In Cuba and the Philippines.
General Alnsworth. on the other hand,
left the medical corps to become an
"office man." and has never bad field
training. As General Wood became
profi.-ient In the field. so Oeneral
Alnsworth became proflclont In tbe
War Wpartment: the former Is today
perhaps the best posted and most prac
tical field officer In tbe Army, and the
entire Government service knows no
b'tter office man thsn General Alns
vorth. General Wood specialised on
army organization, getting his know
Ixtse and experience among the
troops: General Alnsworth gathered bis
Information from tbe records.
Two Ideas Clash.
Naturally the Ideas of the two of
ficers clashed; they could not work la
harmony, and plans favored by Alns
worth mere overturned by the ehlef of
taff. while plans of tha chief of staff
were hampered by the Adjutant-General.
An1 Alnaworth. while only Ad-Jtitant-Gcneral.
proved a powerful ad
versary, for as the War lepartment
bee recently been organized, all busi
ness transacted between the various
bureaus and the general staff baa
passed through Alnaworth's hands, and
be has thus hsd an opportunity to
make changes to suit his own Ideas.
There was no particular reason why
these matters should have passed
throurh the Adjutant-General's office,
for his Is a record office, and not an
office upp-sed -rlglnata policies.
Mnswi. u. howevet. , In his ambi
tion." wrote into the An.ny regulations
a provision requiring thl very proce
dure, and no other chief , of staff ever
took exception. '
Wood Defeat This Plaa.
General Wood cmiH see no reason
why all business of he bureaus with
the general staff etuuid pass through
tie bands of the AJJutant-General be
for reaching the staff: he held that the
reorganlistion act did not contemplate
such a course: he maintained that such
course only tended to delsy and to
complications, and moreover be felt
that the Adjutant-General ahould con
fine hlmse'f to those duties which Con
gress prescribed he should perform.
Therefore he drafted an order doing
away with the Alnsworth method, and
stipulator that the bureaus should
communicate direct with the general
staff The President and Secretary of
War concurred In this Idea, and now
General Alnsworth gets no papers until
they hivs been acted upon by the gen
eral stsff. Hence his peevishness.
As stated above. General Alnsworth
has never cared for General Wood since
me latter became clilef of stsff. he
stants to be chief of ataff himself.
General Wood Is a serious obstacle. So
be has set sbout legislating himself
Into office, and to that end submitted a
reorganization bill to Congress, said
bill cvntalnlng a little Joker which
provfcirs that the Adjutant-General and
the inspector-General of the Army
shall be permanent members of the
general stsff. all other members to be
jeiailed by the President. His bill
further requires that the chief of staff
shail be selected from one of these two
bureaus or divisions. It Is readily seen
that snrh a bill would legislate Gen
rrs Wood out of office, and as Alns
worth overshadows the Inspector-General
It would legislate General Alns
worth Into the office now held by Gen
aral Wood.
Wood Has Another Scheme.
General Wood, seslrg through the
Alnsworth scheme, appeared before the
House military committee, pointed out
lis defects, showed that It would mate
rially Increase the cost of tbe Army,
and then left a bill of his own which
'will preserve the present organization,
and In t;me reduce the number of gen
eral officers, and correspondingly re
dice the cost of the Array. The com
mittee bed been Inclined to favor the
Alnsworth bill, but when Oeneral Wood
Minted out the economy of his bill,
sod the axtravacsnca of tha other, the
committee paused, and It la still paua
tng. Incidentally, the Wood bill seeks to
make the commanders of the various
military departments responsible for
tbe discipline and training of the
soldiers of their departments ; It seeks
to relieve them of all office and cleri
cal work, and requires them to devote
their entire time to military duty. This
Is Oeneral Wood's Idea of Increasing
tbe efficiency of the Army; to convert
commanding officers into true com
manders and Instructors, and to re
lieve them of being clerks, as many
of them have been heretofore.
Both Hare strong; Support.
Naturally this proposition has
aroused those officers who arefer
clerical and office work to field work
with the troops, and such officers hsve
been bringing pressure to bear on Con
gress. But the President la standing
by Oeneral Wood, and when the fight
la forced Into tha open. Congress will
probably pass tha Wood bill, or no
bill at alt.
The chanre In Secretaries of War
will be helpful, rather than harmful
to Oeneral Wood, for Secretary Stlmson
Is a close friend of Theodore Roosevelt,
and Roosevelt Is Wood's best friend.
Incidentally. Oeneral Wood Is the go
between between President Taft and
his predecessor. Therefore It Is safe to
predict that Oeneral Wood will remain
as chief of staff as long as President
Taft remains In the White House, and
General Ainsworth's only hope Is In
seeing a Democratic administration
come In before he retires. Meantime,

talned from Attorney-General Wicker
sham admissions that ha had shared In
fees paid by the sugar trust to his law
firm and that bs had advised the steel
trust aa an attorney than It drew from
him tha statement that criminal prose
cutions would be begun against trust
organisers. He made It clear that the
Government has been awaiting deci
sions against tha Standard OH Company
and tho Tobacco Company and now la
ready to proceed.
Mr. Wlckersham was questioned
mostly by Chairman Beall, of Texas,
wbo also sought much Information
about action against tha cotton pool,
Sngar Trust Feea Shared.
Mr. Wlckersham testified that during
his connection with the Arm of Strong
Cadwallader ha had received his
share of tha fee turned Into the firm
for services to the American Sugar Re
fining Company, personally attended to
by Henry W. Taft. brother of the Pres
ident. Mr. Wlckersham said his share
waa about $2,000.
Mr. Wlckersham said that after ha
became Attorney General John Henry
Hammond represented Strong Cad
wallader as counsel for the so-called
Sugar Trust In the purchase of the
friar lands. He added that at the time
he gave his opinion permitting the sale
of these lands he did not know Ham
mond represented the president of tha
American Sugar Refining Company. Mr.
Havemeyer.
When asked about the connection of
the firm with Steel affairs. Mr. Wlcker
sham said:
"I personally have advised the United
States Steel Corporation In one or two
matters."
"Did Strong Cadwmllader ever rep
resent the New York Cotton Ex
changer asked Chairman Beall.
"lea, Henry W. Taft was counsel for
tha Exchange." Mr. Wlckersham re
plied, "and I think he still continues In
that capacity."
Sugar Trust Not Tet Out of Danger.
The chairman sought particularly to
learn of the Attorney-General why the
Department of Justice and Treasury
Department accepted a $1,000,000 set
tlement from the American Sugar Re
fining Company as restitution for
undervaluations at the port of New
York rather than enforce the severe
penalty provided for by law.
Mr. Wlckersham replied that the de
partment felt the evidence at hand was
not sufficient to support a claim for
penalties, though It wss his belief that
restitution was msde because the cor
poration feared penalties would be Im
posed. Then It was your Judgment." sug
gested Mr. Beall. "that notwithstanding
the Government had access to a memo
randum book showing the real weight
of sugar Imported and to books show
ing fraudulent weights. If the Govern
ment had attempted to collect the pen
alties there waa strong probability of
failure."
"Yes." Mr. Wlckersham answered.
"I think the $2,000,000 settlement was
the best possible arrangement." '
Tbe Attorney General denied that
there was any agreement preventing
criminal prosecution.
"That right." he said, "was specially
reserved to tha Government."
Criminal Prosecutions Near.
Mr. Wlckersham was asked why the
Government thus far had failed to lodge
any "trust magnate" In prison.
"We have done the best we could. ha
said, "but there has been an unwilling
ness on the part of the Juries and courts
to sentence men to prison under the
anti-trust law. Until the Supreme Court
laid down Its definite construction in
the two cases Just decided, their reluct
ance was well understood, for the law
has always been open to question, and
has been construed In different ways by
different courts. Juries arj becoming
more willing now. however, to convict,
and Judges wbo have been reluctant to
Impose prison penalties now have the
Supreme Court decision to sustain
them."
Mr. Wlckersham said ha believed
prison .sentences would be the most
effective means of enforcing respect
for the anti-trust laws. Criminal
prosecutions against the meat-packers,
mllk-dealera, grocers, the naval stores
and window glass combination and al
leged violators of the anti-trust law, be
said, would be augmented by other
prosecutions. On this subject the Gov
ernment had definite plans.
Chairman Beall asked why there hsd
been no criminal proceedings against
the heads of the Standard Oil and To
bacco corporations.
"In view of the fact that we have
secured decisions in these cases only
within tha last two wests, it seems to

Cotton Pool May Be Attacked.
The Attorney-General was closely
questioned by Mr. Beall as to the cot
ton cases In New York, but he refused
to disclose the Government's future
action. Asked why actions were
brought against those seeking to ele
vate the price of raw cotton rather
than against the spinners and the
"bears" who were trying to depress it,
Mr. Wlckersham said the Government
had believed It much easier to reach
the seven men controlling tho raw cot
ton pool, against whom it had exact
information.
"The statute of limitations has not
run against the others." he added. 'If
the Government Is sustained In this

That's one reason why "Wear-Ever" ware lasts a

Each "Wear-Ever" utensil is made from thick, hard
sheet-aluminum, 99 pure, without joints, seams cr
soldered parts. No coating to peel, crack or blister,1
cannot rust, cannot form poisonous compounds with
fruit acids or foods.
Aluminum is a better distrib
uter of heat and retains heat
longer than other materials of
which cooking utensils are
made. Less fire therefore is
needed. In fact, by saving S
minutes in cooking each meal,
you can save 90 hours on your
