Judge Scott Hears the Matter In
Police Court.
The last of the cases against Mrs. Annie
Norris, who was arrested some time ago
for shoplifting we're brought before the
Police Court for the final hearing this
morning.
When the case was called several weeks
ago, Attorney Hay for the defendant, asked
for sentence and requested that the SEN
tence be set aside as had been done by
Justice Bradley in the upper court. Judge
Scott asked to be informed what reason
there was for such a request. Mr.. Hay
stated that the articles stolen had all been
returned and the money paid out for them
by the pawnbrOkers refunded. Mr.. Hay
also stated that the merchant who had
suffered from the peculations of OF Mrs
Norris. had addressed a letter to Judge
Bradley asking him for suspension of
sentence.
Judge Scott stated that while there was
doubt regarding the statement Of the at
torney, he thought it would be necessary
to have letter OF the same kind address,
ed to him and likewise have the merchants
made the statements contained in the let
ter in open court. us. age

THE KHAKI UNIFORM.
said to Be Unsatisfactory for Use

Said to BE Unsatisfactory for Use in
Cuba.
A number of recommendations in the in
terest of the health and comfort of the
American troops in Cuba and Porto Rico
have been made by Inspector General
Breckenridge, who has just returned from
an inspection trip in those islands.
While all the American troops In Porto
Rico were found comfortably housed, Cen
eral Breckenridge discovered that many Of
the men in Cuba were in tents, though the
War Department, since his report reached
it, has been making a strong effort to get
all the troops into barracks before the
rainy season.
The great fault found by General Breck-
inridge was in the matter Of clothing.
The khaki uniforms, with which most of
the men were supplied, have turned all
shades of colors, from white to a dirty
brown, and are not satisfactorily serving
their purpose. He has brought to the at
tention of the department blue striped
linen uniform used by the Spaniards.
General Breckenridge knew when he left
Washington That the War Department did
not wish him to continue the beef inyesti-
CATION but while visiting reconcentrado
depot in Havana he detected the odor of
foul meat, and called the attention OF the
commissary officer to 1t. Before the gem
eral left Havana something like five tons
of the beef had been condemned. General
Breckenridge has recommended that the
ration Of vegetables and sugar be increas-
ed. t7s -
With respect to tentage, General Breck-
inridge conducted experiments at Santiago
which showed that the higher the tent
flooring from the ground the better the
health of the men. Furthermore, he re-
duced the temperature in the tents twelve
to fifteen degrees by throwing additional
thicknesses of canvas over the tents.

ENTITLED TO EXTRA PAY.
Decision FavorinE the Officers and
Men Of the Marins CQEnG.

Decision FayOrfnE the Officers and
Men of the Marine Corps.
The officers and men in the United States
Marine Corps, who enlisted for the war
with Spain only, and whose claims for the
sne and two months extra pay as provided
for by the act of March g. 1899, were dis
allowed by the Auditor for the Nary De-
partment. are feeling good this morning.
Assistant Comptroller Mitchell, of the
Treasury, to whom the question was re-
ferred by the Auditor for the Navy De-
partment. rendered a decision today to the
effect that the officers and men who were
appointed or enlisted In the Marine Corps
for the war only and also served honorably
and faithfully are entitled to receive the
extra pay authorized by Congress.
The Assistant Comptroller holds that
while the Marine Corps is not a part Of
the navy for all purposes, yet those who
served with the navy during the war
were under the jurisdiction of the Secre-
tary of the Navy. and therefore for the
time a part of the navy, and are entitled
to the extra pay on their discharge. The
decision means the payment of several
thousand claims.
