NEW-YORK DAILY TRTBfXE. THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1908. THE KHAKI PURCHASES. President Rescinded Order on Mr. Taft's Recommendation.

TBy Telegraph to The Oyster Bay. July The small tempest In a teapot which has been caused by the recent order of the Assistant Secretary of War directing that the khaki for the uniforms of the soldiere in the Philippines be purchased in Manila was explained to-day In an official statement Issued at the executive office by Secretary Loeb. As will be seen. Secretary Tart did not have any knowledge of the transaction until it reached him in the usual course of routine business on June 30. the day before he left the War Department.

Just as coon as the matter was brought to Ills attention he wrote a letter to the President recommending that the Assistant Secretary's order be rescinded as to future purchases of the material In question. It was, of course. Impossible to countermand the order for goods already contracted for, but, as will be observed, the quantity bought was small. Fallowing the recommendation of Secretary Taft, the President Immediately directed that the order be rescinded as to all future purchases. The official statement follows: The for the purchase of uniforms of soldiers in the army are made by the Quartermaster general with the approval and under tne supervision of the Assistant Secretary of ar.

They are not brought to the attention of the Spcretarv of War except or. appeal from the action of the Assistant Secretary. major general in command of the army in the Philippines, in a letter to the department last winter, recommended that the khaki uniforms for the army be bought In Manila, because the English khaki which could there be had was more loosely woven. better suited to the tropics and was cheaper, and the making was better and cheaper. Acting on this recommendation, and in Secretary Taft's absence and without consulting him.

the Assistant Secretary, while acting as head of the department, made an order that contract? for the purchase end making of khaki uniforms for the army in the Philippines be made in Manila. Secretary Taft no knowledge of this order. and it was not brought to his attention until the day before he left office. June 80. when he received complaints of it from American manufacturers of khaki.

In view of the Imminent change of secretaries, he concluded it was an important matter of policy which should be submitted to the President for final action. Accordingly, one of his last official acts was to write to the President and state the facts, to point out that the order made was contrary to the course prescribed by Congress in respect to the purchase of supplies for the construction of Panama Canal and to recommend to the President that the order made by the Assistant Secretary as Acting Secretary be rescinded ad to future purchases -it was "too latp to take action as to the purchase already made. He suggested that the only respect In which the order could be Justified was in Its application to the uniforms of tna Philippine scouts, a small and purely local organization, whose bodily Bizes and shupes were so different from American soldiers that It was difficult to fit them save by local manufacture. The President, who. of course, knew nothing or the matter until It was thus brought to his attention, followed Secretary Taft's recommendation and directed the order to be rescinded as to all future purchases.

GRATEFUL COOLNESS AT PINE CAMP. Mercury Drops 30 Degrees Field Officers Complete Ninety-Mile Test Ride. Pine Camp. N. July 30 degree drop of the mercury gave, new energy to the troops In camp here to-day.

The First Brigade performed the usual drills and the Third Brigade engaged in outpost duty by regiment, separate battalions and squads. The field officers completed their ninety mile test ride to-day, having covered thirty miles daily since Monday.

The Ist Battalion of the 24th Infantry has ordered to Camp Perry, Ohio, to handle the targets for the national rifle and pistol competition. The battalion will leave- camp on July 16. Company of the 24th will relievo Company at Madison Barracks, which will join the battalion on Its trip to Ohio. The Ist Separate Company, Connecticut National Guard, negro, has been connected with the 24th Infantry for the rest of the camp period. FOOTPATH BUILDING RAPID.

Much Progress Made on Temporary Structure of the New Manhattan Bridge. The construction of the footbridges from the top of each tower on the new Manhattan span is going along rapidly. Alexander Johnson, consulting engineer, said In his office yesterday that the work would probably be completed early next month. The footbridges bear the same relation to the building of a bridge like the new Manhattan that scaffolding bears to the construction of a building. There are.

however, elements of epectacular Interest involved in running timber floored footbridges from the top of towers that rise 225 feet above mean high water la the East River that an ordinary scaffolding does not possess. The footbridges are to support the workers while erecting the four main cables of the bridge. These main will be the largest ever made. In diameter each will be inches, composed of 9.472 small wire cables of 3-16-inch diameter each. The total length of the wires used will be 23.100 miles, sai.l Mr.

Johnson yesterday. Each footbridge rests across two of the temporary cables which were recently stretched across the river, and owing to the velocity of the wind and the Instability of these cables. It is necessary to construct each with almost as much care as would be pxercisecl if it wen to form part of the. permanent structure. In the last two days over one hundred feet of footbridges was completed from both of the ARMY.

P. S. C. Will Confer with Park Department and Subway Contractors. In an effort to put an rad to the red and series of which have hampered the work of the trees along upper Broadway, destroyed when cubway was built, the Publlo Service Commission Is arranging a series conferences between representatives of the Park Department, the subway contractors and the commission.

Thoush tree planting has been going- on since 1302. many have died each year, and the contractor work has not yet been completed. The commission, which has supervision over that work and the street until this work Is completed, hopes to pet It finished this year In such fashion that til the trees will live the requisite two years. Considerable surprise was expressed by representatives of the commission yesterday at criticisms of the commission's conduct by Park Commissioner Smith and declarations that the trees originally had been badly planted. A representative of the commission said that the whole affair, which was badly involved, would be straightened out soon through the proposed conferences.

The trses first planted, he said, were planted under the direction of Samuel Parsons, now landscape architect of the Park Department. The contract called for trees of and one-half Inches in diameter, and none of such size could be procured here. They had to be Imported from Europe, and the voyage devitalized them so that moat of the first batch died. MORE CHARGES AGAINST Additional charges were filed against City Magistrate Otto H.

TO lOMEN THE CHILD'S CHANTE Social Workers Urged to Give Him a Decent Environment.

difference between children at birth is far less than we have been accustomed to think. said Dr. Carl Kelsey. discussing some of newer scientific theories concerning heredity with the School of Philanthropy yesterday morning In the Charities Building. "Even when the mother has not had sufficient food she seems to have borne the bulk of the 111 effects, and not the child.

You cannot predicate ability of any child because its social status. There Is no reason to wealthy group possesses ar.y Inherited ability over the group In poverty. "When you say that you immedlatefy arouse controversy Your listener exclaims: "Do yon mean to say that my child, heir of generations of culture, has no more chance of bfing born natural ability than the child of the Kentucky mountaineer:" "That Is exactly what I do mean to say All ths culture of all Its ancestors has no effect on abilities a child is born with. Acquired traits are not transmissible. But if the child's were picked types, types of physical and asental power the child Is l'kely to be of the same type.

being true, we may ask why the child of ths wealthy group should not be born with greater abilities than those of the poor. power In some ancestor must have placed them to this class. The answer lies in the constant averaging of the type that goes on through 1 Is probable that the fitter your ancestors were physically the less known about therr. that your ancestors were people of distinction it Is more than likely that weaira and facial position were the determining factors in their marriages. They have picked their partners for these things instead of for strength, physical mentaL History contains many Instances of bsattlrts which rose above the human average for a short time; but they always speedily lapsed again Into this average.

The Mendelssohn and certain other musical families of Germany are famous examples. Ths family was originally ons of pro fessional musicians. Both the tastes and the social relations of its members led them to marry into other professional musical families. "When a great musical genius was finally evolved his children Intermarried with families of wealth and social position, and musical genius speedily disappeared from the blood. "It Is this constant tendency to approximate a general average which makes children In all classes come Into the world with about the same natural abilities.

It Is probable that If all the Infants in all the families of wealth were transferred tomorrow to the slums and left there they would grow up Just about like the children around them. There would be no marked distinction. Marked distinctions between people always mean a difference of environment. "The differences between the slum children and wealthy children later in life Is the result of their environment. The children of the wealthy grow up strong, healthy and Intelligent because they have everything to make them so.

Every advantage of society and science is used for their ixMiefit. The chief difference in human beings comes from the way they live, not from heredity. human being Inherits tuberculosis. Tuberculosis Is an acquired disease- It Is probable that science win some time ascertain this to be true of every disease. This changes the whole point of view of social workers'.

Improvement of environment reduces disease. "Teeble-mindedness. however, Is not a disease. It la a difference brain structure. Perhaps some time surgeons may be able to alter it by operations, but at present it cannot cured.
