The Lieutenant flew into passion,
struck him and ordered his confinement
In the guard house. Next morning he
was given permission TO call on the post
commander, Colonel H. Il. Townsend,
and asked if he could not prefer charges
against the lieutenant for assaulting
him. The colonel told him he could

that 1t would be forwarded to the proper

the guaru- house and remained in con-
finement until December 6, when he
was tried by q court martial, of which
Lieutenant Steele was Judge advocate,
on two charges, viz, conduct preju-
dicial to good order and military disci-
plinc, and disObedience of orders. He
was found guilty and sentenced to dis
honorable discharge, with forfeiture of
all pay and allowances, and confinement
in the military prison at Fort Smelling
for one year. To the credit of Presi-
dent Harrison, be 1t said, he did all that
was in his power to correct the wrong
when he ordered the remission of the
uneXecuted portion of the sentence. In
the order of the Secretary of War pro
mitigating the Presidents decision, oc-
ours this PASSAGE: mo action appears
TO have been taken against Lieutenant
Steele, whose breach Of discipline was
Of an aggravated nature. 1t is also
grossly improper that Lieutenant Steele

vocate of the court" Not long ago
the President had occasion to review
the findings of a court-martial, which
tried Major Lydecker of the Engineer
Corps for misconduct in his manage
ment Of the Washington Aquaduct, and
the rebuke administered to the court
was so severe that most men of fine
feeling would have resigned their
positions. Doubtless If il had
been in his power the President would
have removed every member of that
court. This last case should be looked
into by the Military Committees of Con-
gress with the view Of amending exist
ing law so as to bring officers who dis.
grace the service within reach of de-
served punishment. While it is true
that men who enlist in the regular
army ale not, as rule, of refined or
even decent type, they are not slaves
and are entitled to better treatment than
they receive at the hands of those who
are placed over them by social or po.
litical influence rather than merit

Harry q. Frankland Tries TO XIII
Miss Lillian Moore.


On Sunday morning about II o'clock
as the people Of Rhode Island avenue
were proceeding from their homes to
church five pistol shots, in rapid sue
cession, rang out upon the crisp. cool
air, between Ninth and Tenth streets
In very short time information had
passed along the avenue that woman
had been deliberately shot down by a
man, and there was naturally consider
able commotion over the affair.
The circumstances are that Harry G..
Frankland, while walking along the
Avenue, met Miss Lillian Moore. A
few very hastily spoken words were ex-
changed between the two, whereupon
Frankland drew revolver from his
pocket and began firing. The first shot
struck Miss Moore upon the forehead
near the left temple, the second pene-
trated the left wrist and the third passed
through the fleshy part Of the left arm
Two other shots were fired by Frank
land, but they missed his victim.
Miss Moore ran across the street and
fell into the arms of Mrs. Samuel Her
sey, saying, "IIe has killed me-" Mr..

away, took after Frankland and sue
ceeded in bringing him down with a
brick He was afterward placed In the
custody of Officer Asher and taken to
the Second Precinct station. Miss
Moore was removed to the home of her
aunt, Mrs. Harvey Stevens, 931 Rhode
Island avenue, Drs. Poole and Janney
summoned. Although the wounds are
serious, 1t is not thought that they are
dangerous. and at last accounts the
young lady was resting comfortably.
1t seems that Frankland had been
paying some attention to Miss Moore,
but when her family learned that he
had been married once and his wife
had obtained a divorce, they gave him
to understand that his presence in their
house was not agreeable. Frankland
admits that he did the shooting.
