NO EXCUSE FOR "WHITEWAsH."

=
The Philadelphia Press, which is a very
stapca Republican paper and friendly TO
the administration, declares that it will be
impossible for the court of inquiry investi
eating General Miles charges against the
army beef To bring In a whitewashing yer.
dict The Pres considers that the case has
been proved and that the meat packers and
the commissary department have been con
viCted by competent testimony of supplying
the soldiers with unwholesome food. With
in the past lew days, as the evidence has
grown more convincing, significant intima-
tons have been made, apparently on the
authority Of War Department officials, that
General ssgsn may again be court mar
tailed h The testimony justihes such pro
cedure. Il Is lsae that the General is now
paying the penalty OF his denunciation Of
General Miles, but not in accordance with
the recommendations Of court martial
which found him guilty Of conduct un-
becoming all officer and q gentleman" and
recommended his dismissal from the army.
He has never been tried, however, Tor com
plicity in the beef scandal, nor has he eyer
been formally charged with an official con.
nection with this scandal, which warranted
trial by court martial. 1t lie significant, tC
say the least, that unnamed "suthorities" In
the War Department are now explaining
that there Is no law which would prevent q
court martial upon new charges. 1t really
seems, therefore, 10 be among the possibili
ties that the General may have TO serve a.
sn administration scapegoat II there is nc
other way out OF the difficulty. Meantim,
the meat-packers, It is 10 be feared, will es

condemnation OF the court of inquiry II
their contributions to the next campaign
fund are IS generous as they should be un

Mr.. Thomas Gordon Hayes is the choice

for the mayoralty.
All doubt as to this point was set at rest

Hayes received 29,011 Gen. Ferdinand G..
Latrobe, his competitor, received 1911, while
3,0l6 went unpledged to any candidate.
The total vote was surprise to the Dem
ocratic leaders. The mayoraty candidates
had made no special effort to get out the
vote and had conducted anything but Wig
orous campaign. Mr., Hayes was not even

which was 1886. The heavy Democratic
tote is attributed to local councilmanic con

the desire to have the party place its strong

desire has been encouraged and fostered by
the leading party organizations.
