no COURT MARTIAL FOR ROE.
OPINION THAT LITTLE GROUND FOR GEN
ERAL BUTTS CHARGES EXISTS.


Albany Nov. 10 (SpeciaD.-Governor Roosevelt
stated to-day that ne had received the charges
made by General Butt against Major General Roe,
the commander OF the National Guard. and had
sent the papers 10 Attorney General Davies for his
consideration.
The charges purely OF a technical nature. and
In the judgment Of a high military official DO not
warrant court martial. The Military Code only
permits OF the OF armories for military pur-
poses General Roe is accused Of assigning regi-
ments 10 armories at the time OF the Dewey
parade and It is said that this was not military
purpose. II not. in the opinion OF Adjutant General
Andrews. II was hard 10 distinguish from mill
tary purpose. and he fully sustans Major General
Roe's action Whether the Attorney General in
terprets the act Adjutant General Andrews
interprets 1t not. it is apparent that Major
General Roe will not be subjected 10 any court
martial
II is understood that General Butt lays stress
upon the fact that General Roe quartered bodies
OF troops rot belonging TO the New-York Guard
IN the armory OF the 18th Regiment without the
order OF the Governor and without the consent Of
the commanding officer Of the brigade and the
colonel OF the regiment. and that. also, the bond
required by the military laws was not furnished
The date Of these alleged infractions OF the Code
is September Is
Another specification in the first charge goes
more into detail and refers to the assignment OF
troops OF the upstate organizations TO the ar
rnores OF the First Brigade These were the LIST
Regiment TO the LIST Battery Armory the I'd Regi-
ment to the 22ds armory. and the 74th Regiment.
TO the eths armory.
The principal specification Of the second charge
is that General Roe took upon himself the authority
OF the Governor in sending the Pennsylvania regi-
ment to the armory OF the 18th Regiment The
section OF the Code dealing with such case Is
that which treats Of conduct prejudicial to good
order and military discipline" and IT is understood
that this is the form OF the second charge
In assigning the 9th Pennsylvania and the Wash
ington Light Infantry TO the 18th Regiment Ar
mory by orders issued on September y the order
was sent direct the colonel without having
passed through brigade headquarters. II General
Roe had no authority for this action his conduct
would fall under that section OF the code which
deals with 'unofficerlike and unmilltary conduct,
and information from Albany makes II clear that
this Is the nature OF the third charge.

dirt on the ballots. When It came to count the
ballots all six OF which Republican. the two
Democratic inspectors threw them out, on the
ground that they were marked The Republican
inspectors refused to sign the returns.
These six votes not only changed the vote on

litical complexion OF the entire Board With the
six votes thrown out the Democratic Supervisor
is elected by a majority OF four. Counting them
the Republican is elected by two. II the Repuo-
lican Supervisor Is elected the Board Will have Q
Republican majority OF one. II the Democratic
Supervisor is elected, II will give TO the Democrats
