MAY MAKE EXAMPLE of HIM.
The Case Of Private Collins Charged
with MISREPRESENTATION.

The Case Of Private Collins Charged
With MISREPRESENTATION.
The case Of Leslie Collins. a private in
Company B. 9th Infantry, has been re-
ferred to Lieut.. General Miles, for such
action as, he deems necessary. In Febru-
ary last Collins, who was then serving
with his regiment in the Philippines, wrote
sensational article for the Shelbyvile
Qll) Daily Union, describing In detail how
twelve soldiers Of his company had been
drowned at Bacolod, Negros Island. while
attempting to land. "an because the gov
ernment failed to provide safe and suffi-
cient landing facilities He said that the
men were drowned like rats within sight of
their destination, and that he escaped in
his underclothing
The matter was reported. to the War De-
partment by DR.. A. NJ. Collins of Shelby
willie. the soldiers father. with the request
that the statements be investigated and
the responsible persons properly punished.
iIhe papers were referred to the command
ing general. division of the Philippines, for
investigation. and his report has just been
received.
The report says that it appears from the
testimony of all the officers and men hay-
statements made by Private Collins were
absolutely untrue. Affldavits of recruits
who went to Bacolod with Pirate Collins
are inclosed to show that no lives were
naents made In. the newspaper clipping
were wholly without foundation. 1t ap-
pears. however, that boat containing
some soldiers did upset at Bacolod. but
that no lives were lost and that no one
was even in danger.
Brgadier General Hughes, commanding
the department to which the regiment was
attached. directed the preparation of
charges against Private Collins for ''ly-
ing" with the newspaper article as the
basis sof the charge, and he recommended
that Private Collins. who had since re-
turned to the United States. be sent back
to Bacolod for trial and punishment. If the
charges against him are sustained.
There have been many instances where
private soldiers. both regulars and volun-
teers, have made statements of alleged
crimes and disasters, rejecting upon their
commanding officers, which upon investiga-
tion have proved entirely unfounded. The
War Department has been embarrassed by
the publication Of these sensational stories
and is disposed TO make an example Of
Private Collins as a warning to soldiers
who may be inclined to indulge in similar
practices In the future. 1t now rests with
General Miles to say what course Of pro-
cedure shall be followed in the present

ONLY TWO APPLICATIONS.
Petty Omcers Who WiH Take Exam
inatiOn for Promotions.


Only two petty officers in the navy have
taken advantage OF the provision in the
last naval appropriation bill which permits
six petty officers each year to apply for ap-
pointment as ensigns in the navy. The
period for application this year expired to-
day. and there are but two applications on
file, those Of Gunners Joseph Hill and Fran
els Martin. Gunner. Charles Morgan, who
made application some time ago. has al
ready passed the. age limit OF eligibility,
which the law fixes at thirty-flve years.
According to the terms of the act the
President may appoint from among the
boatswans, gunners or warrant machiniSts
each year. not excseoahs SIX to the grade
ments however, must be under thirty five
years of age, have served not less than six
wears as Warrsaafl officers and have been
recommended BY g. HsGOmmanding officer un-
der whom they have served. They must
also pass a competitive examination pre-
scribed by the depast1nent. Gunner Martin
was born in Ireland November u, 1865, and
is therefore juatt within the age limit. He
served aboard the ba4tie ship Texas during
the war with Spain. and has been a gum
ners mate since 1Sl4 Hill was also born
in Ireland He is thrty-one years Of age,
and had an enlisted service of six years
before he became HI gunner. In 1895. He
was aboard the battle ship Maine when
that ship was blown up in Havana harbor.
The examination which these warrant Of
ficers will havestp undergo will be made by
the regular examining board OF the depart
ment, and as. b stlDu case Of Martin. the
time for prepartng for examination is COM
paratively shOFt aSTne Will have passed
the age limit In November. considerable
doubt is expressed cancerning his ability to
pass. While there have been only two APP
plications for commissions for the present
year. 1t IL believed that with each succeed
ing year the number will Increase. It Is
thought that with the prize OF q possible
commission held out to the enlisted men OF
the service many young men Will enter the
sion, and will strive earnestly to prepare
themselves for the examination with which
they viii be CO ifronted when the time
comes to make application under the above
mentioned act.

A. B. Duvall. attorney for the District.
has submitted to the Commissioners an
opinion concerning a recent communica-
tion Of 8. M. Ely, calling attention to the
fact that the area Of lots 81 and "a King S
subdivision Of Long Meadows. has been
substantially decreased, and one OF said
lots rendered useless. by the improper To-
cation Of King street
The situation complained of results from
most curious mistake in locating the
ground king street. in this subdivision,
which covers land north and south OF said
street. 1t appears that King street, as it
mas been built upon both sides, Is actually
about twenty feet north Of It's record posi-
tfon, the result being that too much ground
has been given to the subdivision south Of
King street and too little to the north
thereof
All the houses north of said street are
located by measurement from this fucor-
rect location, and as consequences there
Is loss In lots 81 and 30 at the north end
OF the subdivision
while the Commissioners may be au-
tnorixed to correct the location Of King
street. MT. DuyaH is unable to advise that
they have authority to rectify the present
existing situation and afford any relief to
the applicant. In view of the actual occu-
patton OF the ground by buildings Mr.. Du-
van says 1t Is his opinion that the matter
now resolves itself into the establishment
OF the private right Of the applicant"
