Booz Was Treated For
Lung Trouble.
Statement of Cadets Father Re-
futed.

:.Swest Point, N. Y. December 90 --Ehe
military court of inquiry, composed of
Generals Brooke Bates and Clous. got
through a mass OF evidence today, and
omorrow the cadets OF the first GLASS,
among whom are Frank Keller, who
fought Booz and some Of the men who
saw the contest, will be examined. The
court expects to have all the evidence
collected by Saturday evening. but Judg-
ment from the large number OF witnefsss
ex peoted to be called there may possibly
be an adjournment until after the holi
days.
The name OF former Cadet John K.
Breth OF Altoona, Pa, who, 1t is alleged
died Is months ago as q result of brutal
hasing at the West Point-military acad-
envy, was associated with that OF Oscar
l.. Booz at the inquiry today. Rev.
Father o'Keefe, the Catholic pastor here,
who was personally interested in Broth,
testified that the young man never oom-
planned to him Of hazing. but he seemed
to look ON 1t as mere iun. Breth was
discharged In January. '9S for dehcisnoy
in his studies. The medical records
were produced and they showed that
Brsth was In the hospital twice, first for
n week when ne was treatsd for external
hemmorrhoids, and the second time for
"a hours, suffering from o slight fever.
He was treated another time in his
room for acute indigestion and in conse-
quence was excused from sections for one
day.
Superintendent Mills emphatically de-
MED that Broth was injured while here
and said today that the assertions to that
sifeot were absolutely false.
The medical records alao show that Ca
Diet Booz was excused from one drill
while suffering from acute diarrhoea, and
this is the only time which he seems to
have been treated for any trouble While
at this post. Ole OF the witnesses TODAY
said he had seen Booz "braced" and then
said he had heard Booz frequently told
ITO blow the foam of himself"
Booz was seen to take three drops of
of hot sauce by Cadet Bull, and this
fourth class men filled the pepner sauce
bottles with tomato oatsup, SO as to de-
ceive the upper class men.
Cadet Cowles of Kansas. who knew
Booz in a preparatory school near Phiia-
deIphis, told the COURT that Booz was
being treated by a local physician for
some lung trouble and was aiEo taking
exercise for expanding his chest the year
prior to his admission to the Vest Point
academy.
In REPUTATION of the statement MAIDS by
Cadet BOOKS father, Congressman
Phillips OF Cleveland. Ohio, sent tele-
gram to Superintendent Mills OF the
academy denying that he ever came to
West Point for the purpose of protecting
his son, Cadet Burt w. PHILIPPE, from be-
ing hazed. This was submitted to the
court and by dirsction of tbs court it was
attached to tn , records.

HUMppY DUMPTY.

An exchange says OF the Humpty
Dumpty company that is to APPEAR at
Portland theatre tonight: II ever an
audienoe was delighted they were last
week when the Ravel Humpty Dumpty
company appeared at the academy and
even standing room was industriously
sought by late oomers. To sbelve
Humpty Dumpty would be a positive
cruelty to general humanity. The antics
OF Ravel, a ronicking clown, wers as
funny as genius and righteousness could
we'll make them. The combine, harlequin
and pantaloon, were exceedingly clever
" rendered by the strong cast. The seem
cry was new and bright, the tricks start
ling and up-to-date, bevy of BEAUTIFUL
young ladies added greatly. while the
songs, dances. sketches, juggling and
aorobatic novelties, Of the olio gave
evidence of fine ability. The sale of
seats is now in progress.

MRS. PHILIP ii. BROWN.
News was received here yesterday OF
the death In San Francisco of Mrs. Phil

On December I'd, Mrs. Brown received
o telegram from her son, Mr.. Nathan
Clifford Brown, that bis brother Jonn
Clifford, who had just returned to the
United States from q long term OF service
In the Philippines in the United STATES
ar ny, was very sick In a hospital there.
Ms. Brown Immediately started for
Sal Francisco, accompanied by her
Daughter, Miss Helen. During the long
journey Mrs. Brown was taken sick, and
a few days ago her friends learned that
her condition was critical. AS soon as
this information was received, Mrs,
Browns daughter, Mrs. LiDzee Prescott
and Mrs. Frank ID. True, and her son,
MIR. Philip Greedy Brown, started for
San FranciIco and are now ON their way
to that city.

children who survive their mother.
: Mrs. Brown was woman OF rare at
tainnents and culture and for many
years she has been central figure OF
the social life of this city. Her life was
not bounded by the narrow confines Of
many society leaders. she found much
to do In the world and her influences was
felt In all philanthropio movements.
Her sympathies vera keen and her noble
qualities endeared her b many outside
OF her family circle. She was woman
Of deep piety, prominent member OF
the High street church where she did
great amount OF work. She found 1t a
Measure to do something for mankind
and her assistance In any philsnthropic
or public enterprise was never sought
In vain. She was the head and acting
president OF the Temporary Home, one
OF the noblsst philanthropies of this city,
and in behalf OF this institution she did
much. She was prominent In the wom-
ans council, In the Women's Literary
Union, the Civic club, and was the presi-
dent OF the Bsecher club and ex-presi-
dent OF the Conklin class and Crockett
club. She represented Maine at the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs in Mil
waukee, last summer.
Her death will be regarded as n person
al loss to many In Portland outside OF
her family, Gnd her memory Will be cher
ished by hundreds who have been aided
by her private benefactions.

NAVAL REsERyEs WON.

Another game OF basket ball was played
in the Militia league between Co. A and
the Naval Reserves last evening at the
armory, which resulted in victory for
the latter by SCORE OF 8 to Co. A o. The
game was rather slow on the part of Co.
A which was due wholly to the fact of
this teams lack of practice. The Naval
Reserves played good passing game and
could no doubt have made much larger
score.
During the first half, Phillips. oae Of
Co. AS men, had the misfortune to fall
in such way as to throw his arm out at
the shoulder. An attempt was made to
pull 1t back into place again. but failed,
and he was sent to doctor who snapped
IL back into place. Barring q rather
sore shoulder he il all right again.
The game was OF twenty minutes

Government Aid in Forestry.

Among the applicants for government
assistance in the management OF wood
lands is William Rockefeller. This gen.
tleman owns a tract OF 10000 acres at
Bay Pond, Franklin county, N. Y, on
which he has built hunting and fishing
lodge. Much of the land has been logged
over, but there is a large tract of virgin
timber which has passed the stage of
it's greatest production in anatural state
and is lying idle. Mr.. Rockefeller has
asked for working plan by which the
mature timber can be turned into revenue
without injury to the forest as game
preserve.
The section of working plans of the
division of forestry, which gives assis-
tance to owners of timber lands DESTROYS
of applying conservative methods OF
cutting, began the new year with appli-
cations representing nearly 1000 900
acres. This innovation was introduced
in October. 1898, and has been exceed.
ingly popular, not only with farmers
owning small wood lots, but with large
timber proprietors. The purpose of the
government in furnishing this assistance
is chiefly to afford object lessons to
wasteful timber owners who are now
skeptical of scientific forest methods.
Work has been done on several tracts in
the following states: New York, Massa-
chusetts. New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Iowa, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky,
West Virginia, Illinois, Missouri, New
Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee.
| The offer to give advice and furnish
working plans to persons DESTROYS to
plant forest trees, made last August by
the division of forestry, has received i'm
mediate response from farmers in every
part of the country. Although but a
few months have elapsed since the offer
became generally known, 118 applica-
tions have been received, and plans for
3S of these will be completed before the
time for spring planting to begin. A
still larger number have asked for writ
ten advice, which does not require field
inspection by the forest officials. The
treeless states have been quickest to
avail themselves of assistance, the num-
Der of applications being as follows:
Kansas SO, Oklahoma 10, Nebraska ~,
North Dakota 9, Iowa 6, Indiana 5, Texas
5, Minnesota 4, Colorado Washington
3, South Dakota 2, California 2, Illinois 2,
New York 2, Ohio 1, Missouri 1, Della
ware 1.
The majority Of plans are for tracts of
to 10 acres, intended by prairie farmers
to afford wind. breaks and fuel supplies.
A few paintings of 1000 and 1000 acres
are being made as experiments in raising
forest crops for market in regions where
| cf1ch m tertol &c scorca Af oonctHar-
ing these applications in order, the divi-
sion of forestry has sent experts to study
the conditions Of as many as possible of
localities which offered the best opportu-
mites for object lessons to the public.
Plans will be sent without delay to each
owner, instructing him in detail how to
plant, and recommending the species best
adapted to his tract.
