WHY TWAS CHANGED
DICKINs0N,S MUSTER.0UT RE
QUEST ANSWERED.
Government Says That the Twen-
tieth Kansas Will Get More Money
by Being Mustered Out at Frisco

Chairman j. B. Case received to-
day from the adjutant generals office
the following reply to the Republican
central committees request that the
Twentieth be mustered out at Ft.
Riley.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Your letter
OF May 3lst to the president, setting
forth the desire Of the Republican
county central committee and citi-
zens Of Dickinson county to have the
goth Kansas on its return from the
Philippine Islands for muster-out'
sent to Kansas as soon as possible
after reaching San Francisco to be
mustered out there instead OF being
held for a month or so in San Fran
cisco, has been referred to this de.
partment.
In reply the acting secretary Of
war desires me to say that with a
view Of accommodating the wishes Of
all concerned, General Otis has been
requested to ascertain the views OF
the officers and men OF the goth Kan
sas as to whether they desire to be
mustered out in their home state or
at San Francisco, and that the de-
partment will be governed in in Its
action to a considerable extent by
the result Of this inquiry, 1t is
proper, however, for me to say that
1t was not the intention to hold the
2Oth Kansas at San Francisco for
more than the time required to pre-
pare the necessary muster-out and
pay-rolls, which would probably not
consume more than week or ten
days. The purpose Of mastering
Ing them out at San Francisco instead
Of returning them to the state was tt

BfFORE A JURY,
GALLAGHER CASE RULING IN
U. s. COURT.
No Decision to Be Had Until Next
November Kirby Bank Creditors
Interested.

On last Wednesday, in the U. s.
court at Leavenworth, Judge vii.
liams held that the motion to dis
charge the attachment in the case OF
Gallaher VS.. Kirby should be submit
ted to jury and the matter was con-
tinued until the November term OF
court.
The United States Revised Statutes
provide that questions Of this charac'
ter shall be disposed Of in the United
States courts according to the laws
Of the state where the court is held.
Under the laws Of Kansas, such mo.
tions are always summarily disposed
OF without jury and may even be
tried by the Judge Of the court at
chambers.
The ruling by Judge Williams was
quite a surprise, but we understand
that the court has power to call a
Jury to assist in determining this and
all similar questions, and the only ef-
feet will be to postpone a decision OF
the question until November, when it
was hoped decision could be reached
at this time and a further dividend
paid to the creditors Of the Kirby
bank.
1t will be remembered that Gala
her is the priest Of Pennsylvania who
has attached considerable realty be-
longing to the Kirby estate and in
the hands Of Receiver Halleck, claim
ing that Kirby owed him large sum-
But for this suit there would have
been another dividend for creditors
this month.

UP TO GENERAL KING.
Defense Of Ed Little That Roasts the
Novelist.

The latest exhibit in the contro-
versy about Ed Little is an open let
ter by W. A. Deford Of Leavenworth
giving General Charles King, the nov
elist, a rich, brown roast. King was
interviewed in San Francisco last
week and said some bitter things
about Mr.. Little in connection with
the promotion to colonel. Deiord's
reply is:
1.-The General Charles King, who
bitterly assailed Lieutenant Colonel
Little, il the interview reported to
have been given by him in San Fran.
cisco is true, is the General King who
indorsed upon the back Of the appli-
cation for inquiry into Lieutenant
Colonel Little's physical condition
these words: This man is Il gross
incompetent Such an act, to any
one conversant with military usage,
will be conclusive OF the mans per-
sonal feeling and prejudice. as well
as bis utter lack Of that sense OF fair
play which we think distinctiyely
American. Such an Endorsement was
a brazen irregularity, without prece'
dent in military law or warrant in
honor. The physical condition and
fitness Of Lieutenant Colonel Little
was properly determinable by a board
of inquiry, his official competency by
courtmartial, the ons having no re-
lation to the other save as the one Is
used in cases where the other will
not avail. This General King is, it
will be remembered, the General King
who personally caused the with
drawal Of the application for this in
quiry, stating to me at that time that
he then believed Lieutenant Colonel
Little to have been misrepresented to
him and that there was then in the
Kansas regiment beneath the surface
Of things, "a ring within a ring The
fair Kansas public will not lend a
willing ear to the abuse Of one officer
of the United States army by another,
or to voluntary, vicious abuse hurled
BY that other over an intervening dis
tance Of 5000 or 5000 miles Of sea;
nor will they fail to distinguish be-
tween an officer forced from duty by
wound accidentally received in the
field in the line Of duty and one who,
gallantly commenting upon the mis-.
fortune Of the other as a public bene-
fit, is compelled to quit the service
by gout, an uncertain heart or bad
liver as the case may be. ! cannot
think that the general'sintervew will
add to the fame Of his distinguished
literary services in the field or to the
luster of bis brilliant hospital record,
beginning in Honolulu and ending
after an unbroken series Of sicknesses
in Luzon. 1t will, ! very much fear,
destroy those ideals Of the American
officer that have been fashioned by
thai portion Of the public who have
read. without necessity Of digestion,
his army classics a destruction Of
faith that will mark the passing Of
his hero, the officer and gentleman,
an exquisite etching in cigarettes and
chivalry.
81 would, In conclusion, ask the
public OF Kansas to remember Genera
Miller's estimate Of Lieutenant Col
onel Little, in contrast with Genera
Kings, without for moment expect
ing or indeed wishing that they MAKE
contrast between the one general re
tiring full Of honors, and the other
full Of disabilities
