MAJ. WHAM IN TROTBIE,
To BE Tried by Court-MartiaI on Ac-
count of Financial Difficulties.

Maj. j. w. Wham, paymaster L. s. A.,
stationed at Vancouver barracks Wash
ington, has gotten into trouble on account
of his financial management Charges We're
recently filed against him at the War De-
partment of such a nature that the Presi-
dent was compelled to order him before a
general court-martial for trial The court
will meet at Vancouver barracks, Wash
ington, on Tuesday, the 11th instant The
officials at the War Department refuse to
disclose the exact nature of Maj Wham's s
offense, but from other sources IL was
learned that he will be tried on the general
charges of "conduc. unbecoming an officer
and gentleman and conduct to the
prejudice of good order and military dis
cspline," in having neglected to discharge
his personal financial obligations. 1t is
understood that the principal charge against
the officer Is his failure to meet legal
judgment against him for several thou
sand dollars, growing out of scheme for
irrigation in Arizona, many years ago.
Major Wham will be remembered as the
officer who was he'd up by highwaymen in
the fastneSSeS OF Texas several years ago
and robbed of about $4,000 of government
funds, which he was taking to a military
post to pay the soldiers. About a year ago
he made application to be placed on the re-
tired list of the army because OF defective
eyesight. The board which examined him
reported, however, that his disabilities were
only temporary, and that he was not a fit
subject for retirement He has had con-
siderable trouble with his finances of late
years and found unusual difficulty in CIV
ing the required bond for the discharge of
his military duties. The detail for the court
martial Is as follows: Brigadier Gen. Ell
well S. Otis, United States army; Col. Thos.
NJ. Anderson, fourteenth infantry; Lieut..
Col. Hugh A. Theaker, fourteenth infantry;
Lieut.. Col William d. Wolverton, deputy
surgeon general Lieut.. Col John NJ. Ba-
con, first cavalry; Maj. Frank NJ. Coke,
paymaster; Maj. James C. Post, corps of
engineers; Maj. Tully McCrea, fifth artil-
of subsistence Maj. James NJ. Marshall,
quartermaster; Maj. John w. French four
teenth infantry; Maj. George S. Wilson, as
sistant adjutant general; Maj. Charles A.
H. McCauey, quar- termaster; Capt. Charles

States army, judge advocate of the court
