STATUS OF COURTS-MARTIAL
IMPORTANT DECISION DEFINING 1T
BY JUSTICE BRADLEY.
Application of n Dismissed Lieutenant
of Volunteers for Mandamus
Denied.

Justice Bradley presiding in Circuit Court
No. . this morning handed down an opin-
ion denying the application of Lewis c.
Brown for a writ of mandamus to compel
the Secretary of War to issue him an hon
orable discharge from the volunteer serv-
ice of the United States army. Brown was
a first lieutenant in the 9th Volunteer In
fantry in the with Spain. He was
tried by a general courtmartial convened
by Gen Leonard Wood at San Luis, Cuba.
The charge was conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman, the specification
being that the accused gambled with en-
listed men. He was acquitted by the court.
The record was transmitted to Gen. Wood
and returned by him to the court for re-
consideration The court-martial did re-
consider its findings and returned a verdict
of guilty, sentencing Lieut.. Brown to be
dismissed from the service which sentence

Contentious of Complainant.

IT, 1899.
Contentious of Complainant.
Lieut.. Brown contends that, having been
acquitted by the court upon trial, and the
court having adjourned sine die, its finding
was final and conclusive. and that all the
subsequent proceedings, the reconsideration
by the court of the first findings, the find
ings of guilty, the sentence of dismissal and
its approval by the commanding general.
are Illegal and wholly void. and furnished
no excuse for the Secretary of Wars re-
fusal to grant his request for muster out.
He contended he was still in the service Of
the United States. and was entitled to hon.
orabe discharge.
Justice Bradley's Remarks.
.If the first finding of not guilty and the
Judgment of acquittal had been allowed
to stand, said Judge Bradley, land the
same charge had been submitted for trial
to another court. there would appear to be
no question that the former acquittal
would have been perfect defense. But
that was not the case. The court was
summoned by the order of the general
commanding to consider such cases as
should be presented to it for trial. That or
der called it into being. But for that or
der the members composing 1t were with
out power 70 assemble or to act court.
They were equally without power to ter
inmate their judicial functions The court
could not dissolve itself The same power
that created IL must determine its exist
ence. When it adjourned sine die after the
acquittal Of the relator, that act was no
| more in effect than a simple adjournment.
at was still a duly organized and con-
stituted body, subject to orders and In duty
bound to consider such matters as should
properly be submitted to IT."
Justice Bradley quoted the army reguIa-
ton which provides that when the record
of court exhibits error In preparation or
seemingly erroneous conclusions the review
ing authorities may reconvene the court
! for a reconsideration of its action. pointing
out defects. In concluding and dismis sing

RUMORS ABOUT CLARK
No Credence Given to Story That He

RUMORS ABOUT CLARK

Marcus Days statement to a New.
York reporter that he had not resigned
the presidency of the Amalgamated Cop
per company, is probably correct" said
a well-informed gentleman to an Inter
Mountain man today.
"The fact is that Mr.. Days term of
service with the Amalgamated company
will not expire until May, so that he is
probably telling the truth when he AYERS
that he is still the president of the COM
pany. He will doubtless hold thai posi-
tion until his term expires. But he will
ask to be relieved of the office at the
next meeting, n he has already init
mated to his friends that he desires to
lay down the burden and spend the de-
Ginning years of his life abroad.
Everything connected with the Anal
gamated company betokens the fact that
a change Of management will take place
within a few months. Mr.. Hyams is
taking a more active interest thai ever
IN the affairs of the company and is CIV
ing his personal attention to many of the
minor details at the mines. He will un-
doubtedly succeed Mr.. DAILY, while Mr..
kiepetko VIII give his personal atten-
lion to the smelling plants in Great
Falls, Anaconda and Butte, Mr.. Batter
man and Mr.. Dunyhee will have charge
of affairs at the mines"
The Incorporation OF the United Metal
Selling company under the New Jersey
laws, reported in the Geographic columns
OF the Inter Mountain today, for the pur,
pose of handling 70 per cent of the cop
per output Of the United States, gave
rise to the rumor today that w. A. Clark
mad decided to join the Amalgamated
1orces. In Butte, where Mr.. Clark's
views are so we'll known on the matter.
little credence is placed in the report.
which probably had it's origin in the fact
that some capitalists. who are handling
the output of the United Verde mine are
also interested in the Amalgamated.
