NEW CHARGES AGAINST CARTER.
The Matter Over to the Judge AdvO-
cate General

The Matter Over to the Judge AdvO-
cate General.
\. The Carter investigation has taken a
new turn. When the report of the board
of engineers investigation of the charges
preferred by Capt. Gillette was made up,
it was expected it would go to the Wash
ington office of the judge advocate general
Instead of that disposition, it was sent to
Assistant Judge Advocate General G. E.
Davis at West Point. Col Davis returned
the charges with a report
This report and his recommendations as
to the scope of the proposed court-martial
have been carefully guarded. but it has be-
come known that the charges suggested by
the Davis report look very much like an
evasion of the most serious offense with
which Capt. Carter may be charged.
A Washington dispatch says that among
officers who have known of the case, it is
considered very important that a trial
shall show whether the Savannah work
was waste of money by mere incompe-
tency or by something more Objectionable.
Another criticism of the Davis report was
that it seemed to plead the statute of lin
itations for the officer To this the re-
Spouse has been made that the service
would at once know what was meant by
a plea of the statute of limitations. A
plea of guilty would scarcely be more con-
elusive of guilt.
Since the reception at the department of
the report of Col. Davis there has been
free discussion of the matter, and the re-
suit is that the Secretary of War has
directed the abandonment of the charges
prepared by Col. Davis. and has directed
the office of the judge advocate general to
prepare new charges and specifications.
Col. Davis. it is understood, upon adj
vice from the department, suggested two
charges after he had recommended that
the case be dropped with a reprimand to
Capt. Carter. 1t is understood that he
stated that the cases of Overman and Ly-
decker led him to believe that it was i'm
possible to convict an engineer officer be-
fore a court-martial.
Officers not of the engineer corps con-
slider the efforts misdirected that appear to
| shield Capt Carter in order to maintain
the reputation of the corps.

TO KEEP AN EVE ON THE WORK
Inspector Appointed to Watch the
street Railway.


street Railway.
Mr. ]. W. Schley was yesterday APP
pointed city inspector of the street rail-
way work now in progress. 1t is the in
tention of the street and lap0ecommittee
to which the enforcement of the ordi-
nances regulating street railways has been
entrusted, to see that the contract with
the city and the ordinances are carried
out to the letter. The members of the
committee cannot give their personal at
tention to the work, and hence the neces-
sity for an inspector. Although appointed
by the city, Mr.. Schley will be paid by the
railway company, this being the rule
where it is necessary for the city to fur
nish an inspector to supervise any public
work
Alderman Davis attention has been call
ed to the fact that there is an apparent
failure on the part of the railway to carry
out its contract so far as it relates to the
crossing a Barnard street and Oglethorpe
avenue The Electric Railway Company
had a double track down Barnard street
while the City and Suburban had a single
track, giving the consolidated system three
tracks. When the gauge of the Electric
railway tracks on Barnard street was
changed to conform to that of the City
and Suburban the two tracks of the form
er company crossing Oglethorpe avenue
were left untouched and instead switches
were cut into the City and Suburban track
from the other track on each side of the
street To change the two tracks, or rath-
er to take up one of them and change the
gauge of the other, will necessitate the
relaying of a considerable stretch of as
phalt, and it is apparently the intention of
the street railway company to avoid this
by using only one track across Ogiethorpe
avenue and leaving the other two tracks
in the pavement. This win not be allow
cd however.
