Pir: The Dr. Adcock mentioned In a dispatch from London in your issue to-day as a Christian Science practitioner is not engaged in the practice of Christian Science at all. A cable dispatch from a Lor>don correspondent states that "Adcock was treated for the habit of using morphine. He pr«v ft-Fsfs an Interest In Christian Science, but Is not a member of the Church, nor was'he a practitioner in the White case." From this it is evident that if th«r charge of mar.slaushtor has been brought agaiist Dr. Adeock. it must be upon some grounds otlier than that he was attempting to practise Christian Scieace upon Major White, whose death has resulted, it seems, in holding Dr. Adcock Yours truly H. CORNELL, WILSON. New York. May 17. 1906. ADCOCK NOT A CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST. To »he Editor of Th* Tribune The efficiency of the enlisted men would be great- ly improved, and there would be a decrease in de- sertions. If the day's routine was altered to elimi- nate these unoccupied hours and the method of punishing the man who becomes intoxicated was changed. An enlisted man returning to his post or ship in a highly intoxicated condition is court mar- tialled and eventually discharged. The discharge means much to him. especially if he has served In the army through several terms of enlistment and has only a few years to remain in order to secure a retirement pension. Not only would the pension be lost, but the man who had been deprived of his profession would be obliged in civil life to begin his career all over again. Instead of this extreme punishment for drunkenness. I would suggest that the intoxicated soldier or sailor be arrested, and. if found guilty,be punished by withholdinga portion of his pay for a certain period, the amount with- held being placed to his credit and given to him at the expiration of his term of enlistment. Men failing to Improve should be assigned to dis- ciplinary companies, where duties would keep them constantly busy, especially at the hours which they were accustomed to spend at the saloons. These companies should be commanded by officers pos- sessing the confidence of the men and the qualities of Justness, strictness of discipline and kind heart- ednrss. During their first two or three months of servic* the recruits ought to be attached to these companies also, in order to learn the elementary les- sons of discipline. The members of these companies should be kept continually occupied from morning till night. At the conclusion of the day's duties I would suggest that they spend their evenings read- ing the Constitution of the Tnited States and his- tory and learning thu geography of our country and the world. Th«re might also be lectures on subjects of genera] Interest by men qualified to speak upon them. The use of the time in this way would not only lessen the desire of the men to lounge around drinking places, but would increase their value as citizens and fighters and enable them to gain tho respect of their fellow citizens in civil life. Of course, the man who became intoxicated while on duty should be court moxiialled. as under the present code. I would punish deserters in a different manner than at present, also. Harsh treatment of a man for a breach of contract, or desertion, as it is called in military language. Is likely to lead to crlrr*. A deserter is usually a good workman at the trade by which he earned a livelihood before entering the army or navy Desertion Is easy for him. because of his confidence in his ability to make his living outside of the service. For this reason, if for no other, he ought to be trented less harshly than at present. Instead of confinement to a combination of laziness and hard labor Inside of prison walls. I would sugp^ft that he be punished conditionally only, and detailed for a specified period to the dis- ciplinary company mentioned. VICTOR PERRIGNY. Webster. Mass.. May 12. MO6. Some Suggestions Which Might Prove of Practical Service if Adopted. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: For the benefit of many enlisted men I would like to offer a few suggestions, which, if adopted. woulii assist in making their service more enjoyable to themselves and satisfactory to their country. A young man having a fancy for the army or the navy closes a contract to serxe his country for a period of years. He does this with a sense of doing a patriotic act. His anticipations regarding his work as a soldier or sailor are that there will be a variety of drills, some theoretical instruction, tar- get practice, setting up exercises and a little recrea- tion—in fact, that his time will be fully and use- fully employed. The recruit is confined for about a mor.th at his post or yard, until he has taken the elementary course in military training. He flnda. to his surprise, that each day he has several hours in which he can do nothing except loaf. He can be of no use to himself, for at those hours the library is not available, and he is of no use to the service. When he has advanced in the service he finds that tho routine still has a period of waiting as a part of it. These dally periods of enforced idleness aid materially the soldier or sailor who has any ten- dency in that direction to become dissatisfied The conversation of the veterans is not always enter- taining or of value to the recruit, and this adds to the tedium of the unemployed hours. When the recruit secures his first leave he feels happy, but his joy is quite often dampened by the discourtesy shown him by civilians. It is exhibited in refusals to sell him theatre tickets and in charges higher than those to other patrons for meals at certain classes of restaurants, etc. Xew York •la astonishing Even In the winter the line of waiting horses at any one trough. say. at the Junction ci Broadway and Ninth avenue, shows the Inadequate supply.

"Jerome Bonaparte: The Burlesque Napoleon." is the title of a volume, just published by Bren- tano's, in which the author, Philip W. Sergeant, records the eventful career of the grandfather of our own respected Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Sergeant lays emphasis on the histrionic quility In Jerome Bonaparte, which was indeed a marked characteristic of all his family' of that generation "if he was not a prince, he was able to play the part in a manner which defied detec- tion"; and while "always, failing to accomplish the tasks assigned him. yet always managing to extricate himself without too much damage to his amour propr*."

From his twenty-first year to fcls twenty-fifth year he had lived in a garret, oc- cupied in writing tragedies and novels, of which be himself had a poor opinion, opposed by his family, i»-oelv:ng from them very Mule money, earning- less, threatened constantly with being con- demned to a mechanical occupation, declared in- capable, and devoured by a longing for greatness and the consciousness of genius. To be Indepen- dent he turned speculator first publisher, then printer, then typefounder. Everything fell short of \u25a0wru'niss. and saw final failure approaching. After four years of anguish. he wound up his business and Jiegan to write novels to discharge the debts whicU were weighing him down. It was a horrible load which he was forced to drag after h.r.i all his life. From 1827 to 1526 he was enabled hold out by means of hills which, with great alfSculty. he had renewed by the usurers. These latter he was compelled to divert, conciliate, over- reach and cajole. The unfortunate great man was often forced to play the conn-ay of "Mercadet" before he wrote it. Ail was of no avail. The debt, Increased by interest, ever piled up. Toward 'ho last, his life, overwhelmed with fear, was endan- fered.

Cruelty to Human Beings Follows, Says Cor- respondent—Eockefeller Institute a Text. To the Editor of The Tribune, Sir: The inauguration of the Rockefeller Institute should not pass without a single word of protest. I venture to predict that the time will come when the searching for human health among the infected organs and tortured nerves of our fellow animals will be regarded with -the same loathing which we now visit upon the worst barbarisms of our ances- tors. From the mere point of view of human selfishness these experiments upon living things must be condemned, for men who become hardened to brutal investigations practised upon animals are only too likely to continue their researches upon men and women. I have read a number of reports made by the operators themselves, but intended only for the eyes of the medical profession, of ex- periments of all kinds practised upen ignorant patients in and out of hospitals. "The New York Medical Record" of December 10. I^7. page 728. gives an account of a New Jersey physician who subjected a score of children to in- fection by scarlet fever, in order to test a prophy- lactic. One lad of eight, for example, was "taken to a house in which there was a boy sick with scarlet fever His parents being poor, the pillow upon which the patient lay had not been exchanged since the beginning of the sickness. This pillow was placed over the face of the. boy who had been Inoculated, aii<! held there some time. He was t en made to inhale the breath of the patient." This paper was rend before the New York Academy of Medicine, and may bo taken as an example of mctllcal ethics on the subject. A medical writer jr. "The American Journal of Medical Sciences." Vol. 93. pp. 310-311. gives an ac- count of his experiments upon a woman named Mary RaiTerty at a Cincinnati hospital. "It is ob- vious." says he. "that it is extremely desirable to ascertain how far the results of experiment on the brain of. animals may be employed to elucidate the furctloiis of the human brain. ' And he pro- ceeds to relate how he inserted "insulated needle c-U'ctrodes" into the- substance of the brain of this poor woman with an electric battery connected. He gives the !(•\u25a0-.;::. "Very soon the left hand was exip^ndf.-i as if in the act of taking hold of some object in fror»l o* her; the arm presently was agi- tated with elonlc spavms. her eves became fixed, with pupils widely dilated, lips were blue, and she frc.t^i-rl at the mouth; her breathing became ster- torous, she lost consciousresH anil was violently convulsed •\u25a0!! tho left side " The woman eventually died. It would ip possible to rue- pa?»s of such oases. It is :;cant that at the opening of the Institute the necessity of erectirtf a hospital next to it was dwelt uron. I tru« I may never have . is on to be confl.-.ed there. l do not expect to convince any one »-hi belie 'a that ;in;;na!s have no right? -.v! icii human beings art* urder obligation to respect, but I would Ilk* to save my age and city, so far as a solitary indi- vidual can, from the sti.ermr. of universal acnui- essence in thin infernal business. Perhaps some future historian, rurr.nging in the flies of The Trib- une, and astounded at the presence of our leaders -.f Hint and Wrnir.;? at the opening of such an 'institute." may find even in a single letter of protest a reason for qualifying his general con- demnation or our civilization.

Sir: The commonest and mnst easily preventable -.' -l Buffering Is that of thirst pre\v»ntab!e. that Is under any but extraordinary conditions. Any one who watches birds and beasts milt—\u25a0 their frequent and imperative need cf water. And yet. how stupidly and cruelly the need is ignored.

There Is ai Th« deir^Td'rTnkVnT fountain. in th city of PROTEST AGAINST VIVISECTION. Newly Appointed Inspectors Discussed- Move in Right Direction, Says Writer. To th# Editor of The Tribune. Sir: The first fruits of Senator Lodge's consular reform bill are seen In the appointment by the President of five inspectors of consulates, with the title of consul general. It appears that these appointees are to be paid $5,000 per annum, with an allowance for travelling expenses and subsistence, r>nd are to visit such consulates us may be assigned to their, respec- tively, and all are to be Inspected at least every two years. The extent and the utility of these inspections will depend upon the personality and integrity of the inspectors. To be useful they must hinve had experience in the consular service and with con- sular duties in the several countries visited: they m "" be able to confer with local merchants and officials in either the French or German language in the non-English-speaking countries, and. in or- der to avoi-i the pitfalls and temptations peculiar to the fascination of foreign travel and personal graft, arising from the acceptance of presents from the officials inspected, they must make absolute loyalty to th? United States government a part cf their religion. Orientals say that the acceptance of a present, breaks the hand so that it cannot strike, and in their country the acceptance of a present by any one having judicial' functions cre- ates a presumption of corrupt collusion In favor of the donor. It is to be hoped that among the instructions (riven by the Department of State to appointees will be found one strongly discouraging the sys- tem of baeksheesh which prevails so largely in non- Christian countries and to some extent in Christen- dom. The writer once inquired of the governor general of an adjoining province whether the newly ap- pointed governor genera! of Damascus was a lib- eral man, in contrast with his narrow minded arid fanatical predecessor, who had recently been exe- cuted for complicity in the general massacre of Christians, and receive this answer: "Oh, no. Mustapha Pacha is not a fanatic: he gambles, gets drunk and takes bribes just like any Christian." The appointees seam to have been chosen with a view to obtaining the best results, because of their experience in the consular service. H. I* Washington, for example, was for many years a consular official In Egypt and Syria, where, under the principle of exterritoriality which obtains in non-Christian countries, he had diplomatic and Judicial' functions and Jurisdiction as a consular Judge in civil and ' criminal cases, In admiralty, marriage and divorce. In addition to the regular consular duties. Subsequently he served as consul at Valencia in Spain, at Geneva in Switzerland and at Cape Town In Africa.' This wide experience, added to that gained at the Department of State before he was sent abroad, should qualify him for his new duties as inspector. The same is true rf Mr. Dickinson, who has been for more than ten yenrrs consul general at Constantinople. Mr. Murphy has had ten years or more of ex- perience as consular clerk In various localities, which should wake him an excellent judge of the quality and conduct of the several consuls within his Jurisdiction. The same Is presumably true of Mr. Eartleman. because of his previous service. Mr. Cheshire cannot have gained much knowledge of consulates generally during his short service at Moukden. so recently the battlefield of Japanese and Russian troops, but It is far to assume from the other appointments that he also has been chosen because of fitness rather than favoritism. Messrs. Washington. Dickinson and Cheshire should be abundantly able Intelligently to Inspect and report on all consulates in Turkey, Persia. Egypt. Africa. China and Japan, while Messrs. Murphy and Bartleman, w-th their intimate knowl- edge of consular duties in Europe, should make satisfactory and intelligent inspection on the Con- tinent and in the English speaking countries. The seeming inconsistency of appointing a consular clerk to such a high position Is explained by the fact that consular clerks are the only consular offi- cials having a life tenure. They retain that status even when temporarily occupying the post of vice or deputy consul general, or while performing any any other duties assigned to them, as in the case of Mr. Murphy, who has been a consular clerk for more than ten years. Although the original consular bill was greatly changed before Its final enactment by Congress and many of Its useful features were stricken out. It Is a matter of rejoicing that some progress has been made toward placing our consular system upon \u25a0 a more, respectable footing, and that some encourage- ment has been extended to educated and available young men to regard the consular service as a career instead of an episode In reward for vote getting In support of more or less local political leaders.

ADCOCK NOT A CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST.To »he Editor of Th* Tribune

The efficiency of the enlisted men would be great-ly improved, and there would be a decrease in de-sertions. If the day's routine was altered to elimi-nate these unoccupied hours and the method ofpunishing the man who becomes intoxicated waschanged. An enlisted man returning to his post orship in a highly intoxicated condition is court mar-tialled and eventually discharged. The dischargemeans much to him. especially ifhe has served Inthe army through several terms of enlistment andhas only a few years to remain in order to secure aretirement pension. Not only would the pension belost, but the man who had been deprived of hisprofession would be obliged in civil life to beginhis career all over again. Instead of this extremepunishment for drunkenness. Iwould suggest thatthe intoxicated soldier or sailor be arrested, and. iffound guilty,be punished by withholdinga portionof his pay for a certain period, the amount with-held being placed to his credit and given to him atthe expiration of his term of enlistment.

Men failing to Improve should be assigned to dis-ciplinary companies, where duties would keep themconstantly busy, especially at the hours which theywere accustomed to spend at the saloons. Thesecompanies should be commanded by officers pos-sessing the confidence of the men and the qualitiesof Justness, strictness of discipline and kind heart-ednrss. During their first two or three months ofservic* the recruits ought to be attached to thesecompanies also, inorder to learn the elementary les-sons of discipline. The members of these companiesshould be kept continually occupied from morningtill night. At the conclusion of the day's duties Iwould suggest that they spend their evenings read-ing the Constitution of the Tnited States and his-tory and learning thu geography of our country

and the world. Th«re might also be lectures onsubjects of genera] Interest by men qualified tospeak upon them. The use of the time in this waywould not only lessen the desire of the men to

lounge around drinking places, but would increasetheir value as citizens and fighters and enable themto gain tho respect of their fellow citizens in civillife. Of course, the man who became intoxicatedwhile on duty should be court moxiialled. as underthe present code.Iwould punish deserters in a different manner

than at present, also. Harsh treatment of a manfor a breach of contract, or desertion, as it is calledin military language. Is likely to lead to crlrr*. Adeserter is usually a good workman at the trade bywhich he earned a livelihood before entering thearmy or navy Desertion Is easy for him. becauseof his confidence in his ability to make his livingoutside of the service. For this reason, if for noother, he ought to be trented less harshly than atpresent. Instead of confinement to a combinationof laziness and hard labor Inside of prison walls. Iwould sugp^ft that he be punished conditionallyonly, and detailed for a specified period to the dis-ciplinary company mentioned.

Some Suggestions Which Might Prove ofPractical Service if Adopted.

To the Editor of The Tribune.Sir: For the benefit of many enlisted men Iwould

like to offer a few suggestions, which, ifadopted.woulii assist in making their service more enjoyableto themselves and satisfactory to their country. Ayoung man having a fancy for the army or thenavy closes a contract to serxe his country for aperiod of years. He does this with a sense of doing

a patriotic act. His anticipations regarding hiswork as a soldier or sailor are that there willbe avariety of drills, some theoretical instruction, tar-get practice, setting up exercises and a little recrea-tion—in fact, that his time willbe fully and use-fullyemployed. The recruit is confined for about amor.th at his post or yard, until he has taken theelementary course in military training. He flnda.to his surprise, that each day he has several hoursin which he can do nothing except loaf. He can beof no use to himself, for at those hours the libraryis not available, and he is of no use to the service.When he has advanced in the service he finds thattho routine still has a period of waiting as a partof it. These dally periods of enforced idleness aidmaterially the soldier or sailor who has any ten-dency in that direction to become dissatisfied Theconversation of the veterans is not always enter-taining or of value to the recruit, and this adds to

the tedium of the unemployed hours. When therecruit secures his first leave he feels happy, buthis joy is quite often dampened by the discourtesyshown him by civilians. Itis exhibited in refusalsto sell him theatre tickets and in charges higherthan those to other patrons for meals at certainclasses of restaurants, etc.

to play the part in a manner which defied detec-tion"; and while "always, failing to accomplish

Cruelty to Human Beings Follows, Says Cor-

respondent—Eockefeller Institute a Text.To the Editor of The Tribune,

Sir: The inauguration of the Rockefeller Instituteshould not pass without a single word of protest.Iventure to predict that the time will come whenthe searching for human health among the infectedorgans and tortured nerves of our fellow animalswillbe regarded with -the same loathing which wenow visit upon the worst barbarisms of our ances-tors. From the mere point of view of humanselfishness these experiments upon living things

must be condemned, for men who become hardenedto brutal investigations practised upon animals areonly too likely to continue their researches uponmen and women. Ihave read a number of reports

made by the operators themselves, but intendedonly for the eyes of the medical profession, of ex-periments of all kinds practised upen ignorantpatients in and out of hospitals.

"The New York Medical Record" of December 10.I^7. page 728. gives an account of a New Jerseyphysician who subjected a score of children to in-fection by scarlet fever, in order to test a prophy-

lactic. One lad of eight, for example, was "takento a house in which there was a boy sick withscarlet fever His parents being poor, the pillowupon which the patient lay had not been exchangedsince the beginning of the sickness. This pillowwas placed over the face of the. boy who had beenInoculated, aii<! held there some time. He wast en made to inhale the breath of the patient."This paper was rend before the New York Academyof Medicine, and may bo taken as an example ofmctllcal ethics on the subject.

A medical writer jr. "The American Journal ofMedical Sciences." Vol. 93. pp. 310-311. gives an ac-count of his experiments upon a woman namedMary RaiTerty at a Cincinnati hospital. "It is ob-vious." says he. "that it is extremely desirable toascertain how far the results of experiment onthe brain of. animals may be employed to elucidatethe furctloiis of the human brain.

'And he pro-

ceeds to relate how he inserted "insulated needlec-U'ctrodes" into the- substance of the brain of thispoor woman with an electric battery connected.He gives the !(•\u25a0-.;::. "Very soon the left hand wasexip^ndf.-i as if in the act of taking hold of someobject in fror»l o* her; the arm presently was agi-tated with elonlc spavms. her eves became fixed,with pupils widely dilated, lips were blue, and shefrc.t^i-rl at the mouth; her breathing became ster-torous, she lost consciousresH anil was violentlyconvulsed •\u25a0!! tho left side

"The woman eventually

PROTEST AGAINST VIVISECTION.

Newly Appointed Inspectors Discussed-Move in Right Direction, Says Writer.

To th# Editor of The Tribune.Sir: The first fruits of Senator Lodge's consular

reform bill are seen In the appointment by thePresident of five inspectors of consulates, with thetitle of consul general.It appears that these appointees are to be paid

$5,000 per annum, with an allowance for travellingexpenses and subsistence, r>nd are to visit suchconsulates us may be assigned to their, respec-tively, and all are to be Inspected at least everytwo years.

The extent and the utilityof these inspectionswill depend upon the personality and integrity ofthe inspectors. To be useful they must hinve hadexperience in the consular service and with con-sular duties in the several countries visited: theym""

be able to confer with local merchants andofficials in either the French or German languagein the non-English-speaking countries, and. in or-der to avoi-i the pitfalls and temptations peculiarto the fascination of foreign travel and personalgraft, arising from the acceptance of presents fromthe officials inspected, they must make absoluteloyalty to th? United States government a part cftheir religion. Orientals say that the acceptanceof a present, breaks the hand so that it cannotstrike, and in their country the acceptance of apresent by any one having judicial'functions cre-ates a presumption of corrupt collusion In favorof the donor.

It is to be hoped that among the instructions(riven by the Department of State to appointeeswill be found one strongly discouraging the sys-tem of baeksheesh which prevails so largely in non-Christian countries and to some extent in Christen-dom.

The writer once inquired of the governor generalof an adjoining province whether the newly ap-pointed governor genera! of Damascus was a lib-eral man, in contrast with his narrow minded aridfanatical predecessor, who had recently been exe-cuted for complicity in the general massacre ofChristians, and receive this answer: "Oh, no.Mustapha Pacha is not a fanatic: he gambles, getsdrunk and takes bribes just like any Christian."

The appointees seam to have been chosen witha view to obtaining the best results, because oftheir experience in the consular service. H. I*Washington, for example, was for many years aconsular official In Egypt and Syria, where, underthe principle of exterritoriality which obtains innon-Christian countries, he had diplomatic andJudicial' functions and Jurisdiction as a consularJudge in civil and

'criminal cases, In admiralty,

marriage and divorce. In addition to the regularconsular duties. Subsequently he served as consulat Valencia in Spain, at Geneva in Switzerlandand at Cape Town In Africa.' This wide experience,added to that gained at the Department of Statebefore he was sent abroad, should qualify him forhis new duties as inspector. The same is true rfMr. Dickinson, who has been for more than tenyenrrs consul general at Constantinople.

Mr. Murphy has had ten years or more of ex-perience as consular clerk In various localities,which should wake him an excellent judge of thequality and conduct of the several consuls withinhis Jurisdiction. The same Is presumably true ofMr. Eartleman. because of his previous service.Mr. Cheshire cannot have gained much knowledgeof consulates generally during his short service atMoukden. so recently the battlefield of Japaneseand Russian troops, but It is far to assume fromthe other appointments that he also has beenchosen because of fitness rather than favoritism.Messrs. Washington. Dickinson and Cheshireshould be abundantly able Intelligently to Inspectand report on all consulates in Turkey, Persia.Egypt. Africa. China and Japan, while Messrs.Murphy and Bartleman, w-th their intimate knowl-edge of consular duties in Europe, should makesatisfactory and intelligent inspection on the Con-tinent and in the English speaking countries. Theseeming inconsistency of appointing a consularclerk to such a high position Is explained by thefact that consular clerks are the only consular offi-cials having a life tenure. They retain that statuseven when temporarily occupying the post of viceor deputy consul general, or while performing anyany other duties assigned to them, as in the caseof Mr. Murphy, who has been a consular clerk formore than ten years.

Although the original consular bill was greatlychanged before Its final enactment by Congress andmany of Its useful features were stricken out. ItIsa matter of rejoicing that some progress has beenmade toward placing our consular system upon \u25a0 amore, respectable footing, and that some encourage-ment has been extended to educated and availableyoung men to regard the consular service as acareer instead of an episode In reward for votegetting In support of more or less local politicalleaders.
