EAGAN ASKS FOR MERCY.
Found Him Guilty as
Charged.

Washington, Jan. 30.-General Eagan,
commissary general of subsistence, has
been found guilty of the charges of con-
duct unbecoming an officer and gentle
man and of conduct to the prejudice Of
good order and discipline and Of. the spec
cations thereto and has been sentenced
to dismissal from the United States army,
but with the recommendation from the
court for the exercise OF executive Glenn
ency. Under the regulations the court,
having reached the conclusion that the
accused was guilty, had no choice in Sc
Letting penalty, the regulations prescrib-
ing absolutely that one punishment-dis-
missal-for the offense. Therefore, the
only hope for General Eagan is in the
direction of Communication, mitigation or
disapproval.
Colonel Davis, the judge advocate of the
court martial, finished his revision of the
record of the courts proceedings this af
ternoon and at once placed the papers in
the hands Of Secretary Alger. This action
settled at once any doubt that may have
existed as to the routine to be pursued
in the treatment of the case. AS for Sec
rotary Alger, as soon as he has read the
record he will place it at once with the
president, who, under the law is the final
reviewing authority. 1t is his privilege
to add to or take from the strength of
the courts Recommendation that clemency
be shown.
