Would Weed Out Unfit Officers, Recognizing Fitness and Ability in Promotion. Washington, D. C. The restoration of the army canteen and enactment of legislation for the elimination from the United States army of unfit offi cers are among the principal recom mendations of Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff, in his annual re port made public Saturday. General Wood recommends the con centration of the army on strategic lines and in areas where it can be maintained more economically. He would transfer all the personnel of the staff corps excepting engineers, medical officers and chaplains to the line, increasing the number of the general officers and line officers in the different grades. The transfer of the personnel of staff corps to the line, in General Wood s opinion, will terminate the constant struggle between line and staff, a struggle which is as old as the army and one which promises to con tinue. There would be no interfer ence with promotion, nor would the members of the present staff corps lose any of their present advantages. Discussing means for the elimina tion of unfit officers the chief of staff says: "The full efficiency of an organiza tion of men cannot be secured without a system by which the merits of the individuals shall have some effect upon their advancement. "The army long has suffered from the lack of such a system. Up to the grade of colonel promotion is by sen iority in each branch, and there is no way under the law by which an officer, no matter what his merit, can be ad vanced a single number except by making him a general officer. " CASTRO MAY REMAIN IN U. S. Legal Steps Taken to Establish Status of Venezuelan. New York The Federal courts have been invoked in behalf of Cip riano Castro, and a writ of habeas cor pus was granted to bring him before a judicial tribunal which may determine the cause of his detention at this port. It was alleged in the application that the ex-president of Venezuela was il legally held at the immigration sta tion on Ellis island, where he has been detained since his arrival. The court will be asked to sustain the writ and thus set him at liberty. Castro, immediately upon finding his right to land was questioned, had decided to return voluntarily to Eu rope, and haJ passage on the steamer Amerika for Hamburg. As soon as he learned the writ had been granted he cancelled his passage. BODY OF AMBASSADOR? REID REACHES NATIVE SHORES New York Great Britain delivered Saturday to his countrymen the body of Whitelaw Reid, editor, statesman and American ambassador, who died in London. The British cruiser Natal brought the body home and placed it under the Stars and Stripes in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. President Taft, dignitaries from the army and navy and representatives of foreign powers will attend the funeral services. The Natal was met off Nantucket by two United States battleships and four destroyers and the funeral fleet lay off Sandy Hook Friday night. A thick fog blanketed the bay and it was 11 o'clock before the procession got under way. A gale that swept up the river made landing the coffin a dim- cult task. Sugar Dividend Passed. New York" The directors of the American Beet Sugar company decid ed not to declare the usual dividend no the common stock. They is sued this statement: "Resolved, that n view of the large stock of manu factured sugar on had unsold, no ac tion be taken on payment of the divi dend on the common stock at pres ent" The common stock was placed on a 5 per cent basis in 1911. An nouncement of the action of the direc tors was followed by heavy selling of the common stock on the exchange. Gompers Appeal Is Filed. Washington, D. C. Samuel Gom pers, John Mitchell and Frank Mor rison, of the American Federation of Labor, convicted of contempt of court and sentenced to jail in connection with the BuekrStove & Range case, filed their appeal in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. It al leges the men were convicted not of contempt of court, but of want of re spect for judicial authority. Seven teen alleged errors are charged. Laborer Finds Fortune. Nowata, Okla. George Hardsook, a laborer, unearthed $37,500 in gold while digging a trench near the vil lage of Oglesby. Hardsook's posses sion of the wealth, however, probably will be of short duration, a state law requiring that such funds be surren dered to the owner of the land. The money bore evidence of having been buried a number of years. ji ijf' jjjjjl I'RMiK-arai V. Z. 2.
