men were caught in the pathInvaders After their victims had re-

rvived a severe pummeling they wore al-I wed to move on

The rioters were too numerous for thepolice on the rounds to suppress and thereserves had to be called out About ad zen men were placed under arrest oneof them Frank Miller a marine beingcharged with inciting a riot

Most of the men seemed to be excitedby drink and some of the intoxicatedones were not overcome until the Policemade a idteplay of force although allmeans to avoid a conflict wore used bythe officers It was recognized by thepolice that the men were on their Christmac spree and for that reason they woreas lenient as possible with them All ofthe men arrested except Miller arecharged with disorderly conduct

So far s is known tonight no onewas seriously injured by the rioters

These tickets are good on tourist sleepIng and chair cars and the reduction atthis season of tho year Is expected tohave the effect of heavily increasing thetravel to the East The new rate to NewYork is less than the regular firstclassrate from Denver to Chicago

DEFENDS HIS POSITION

Admiral Brownson and I have bees friends for many yearsWhen on duty in Wasjfington as naval attending s rgton I was

his faintly physkiausbipe as a rule always have been commanded by

medical officers

The Relief lormerly to the Tjnld States

was always commanded by a medical officer when used as a s e rcalship

A joint board of army and navy medical recomxiiended that hospital ships should be ded by officers

and the recommendation was approved by both the Secretary ofWar and the Secretary of the Navy

The question was settled definitely during the civil war acid

all hospital ships and medical transports placed under the SurgeonGeneral of the army and have remained so up to the present time

Japanese naval hospital ships were commanded by medical

officersTheinternal administration of the Bureau of Medicine and

Surgery has been in my opinion too much interfered with by the

Bureau of Navigation This interference has at times caused me

great concern as to how I could meet the needs of those under our

careIt hard to understand how Admiral Brownson could be

specially inrotved as his ties pertain entirety fe another bureau

and which he should not interfere uaiesc directed by the Sec-

retary GENERAL RIXEY
