STAND By CANTEENS.
Root and Corbin Opposed to Their
Abolition.

Washington, May 17.-Secretary Root
has sent to Chairman Hull. of the house
committee on military affairs, an ex-
haustive collection Of opinions on the
question of the army canteen, gathered
by Adjutant General Corbin from every
branch Of the military service. The in
Quiry was made because of the intro
duction of a bill to prohibit the sale or
dealing in beer or any intoxicating
liquor upon any military premises, Mr..
Hull having invited the opinion Of the
war department officials.
Secretary Root, in the course of a
brief endorsement, says:
7 think the enactment of this bill
would be injurious to the temperance,
morals and discipline Of the enlisted
army"
General Corbin in an elaborate review
Of the inquiry says.
If the prohibition of the sale Of beer
in military posts, as contemplated by
this bill. could be effective in bringing
about a destruction Of the drink habit
among the soldiers, the adJutant general
would unheSiratlngly urge its adoption
and in doing so he believes he would
voice the practically unanimous Sentl-
ment of the officers of the army, but on
the contrary 1t should be stated as
fact that the closing OF the ca1teeD sec
ton of the post exchange would be to
have such soldiers as are now content
with drinking an occasional glass or
beer within the limits Of the post go to
whisky shops and dens of vice that only
surrounded permanent posts, and which
on the passage of such a law would
soon revive, he can not too strongly ex-
press the opinion that such legislation
would be inimical TO the best interests
of the army"
For hygienic reasons, General Corbin
says, the war department has not en-
couraged the establishment of canteens
for the selling Of beer in Cuba, although
the ACCESSIBILITY Of this course is, doubt
ed. as the men run in debt at the shops
and cafes and drink liquors which often

Philippine islands, General Corbin says,
every effort is made to keep the soldiers
from drinking but they have no diff

THE BRANDLEY TRIAL.
State Fails to Prove Serious Relations
Between Rinard and Miss Brandley.

Emporia, May 1.-THE court house
is filed with spectators at the Brandley
trial Sitting beside Harry BrandIey
is his wife and on the other side sits
his father Three OF BrandIey's sisters
also sit inside the railing, one of them
being Miss Pearl The coroner Of Chase
county was put on the stand and testi-
fed concerning the manner Of Rinard's
death and told OF the removal OF a
bullet. John McCuIom testified that it
was a A calibre, and said that the
powder stains made on Rinard's face
must have been made by a shot fred
eighteen or thirty inches from his face
Arthur Jones testified TO a certain i'm
material conversation that Miss Pearl
held with Riuard one day. A few 9TH
ers testified along the same line, tell
ing Of common conversations and unim-
portant situations John Terusha was
a farm hand On the Brandley place at
the same time Rinard worked there He
testified that at different times Miss
Brandley and Rinard were seen going
together toward the stone quarry, buE
on REORGANIZATION it was shown that
z. gang of men were working in the
quarry at the time of these visits. A
description Of the barn was brought
out showing that in the upper part
Of the building were beds in which the
farm hands slept GeruSha testified
that he had seen Rinard and Miss
Brandlev sitting on one of the beds
Ss-examinatiOn showed that the
Brandley girls took care of these beds
and that It was a common thing for
them to be in that room, and that on
this particular time Rinard was show
ing the girl q collection of pictures.
Banks and Calvert testified to little that
would indicate that anything more than
a feeling Of friendship existed between
Miss Brandley and Rinard- Mrs. Geru-
sha testified to about the same sort OF
circumstances that the other witnesses
had, and then, after stating that she
was a friend Of Miss Brandley, she was
asked whether Miss Brandley had not
| told her that she thought a great deal
| Of young Rinard. The counsel for tbs
| defense objected and for more than
an hour the question was argued before
| the Judge. The questions Of the state
/ to the witnesses seemed to have a ten
/ dency to show that Rinard's character
was not what it should have been, and
/ that his attitude toward Miss Brand
! ley was such that Brandley did not
| like. -
