SUSPENSION AND FINE
FOR Two OFFICERS
President Approves Findings
of Court-Martial.
Major Glenn and Lieutenant Gaujot
Sentenced for Practicing the
Water Cure.

The mail received at the War Depart
ment yesterday from Oyster Bay con-
tanned the papers in the case of Major
Edwin D. Glenn, of the Fifth Infantry,
and First Lieut.. Julien Gaujot, Of the
Tenth Cavalry, with the Presidents ap-
proval of the sentences imposed on them
by a court-martial in the Philippines
for administering the water cure to
prisoners.
Major Glenn was sentenced to one
months suspension and to pay a fine
Of $50, and Lieutenant Gsljot to sus-
pension for three months and to forfeit
$50 of his pay for that period.
In approving the sentences President
Roosevelt did not make any comment.
Another case passed on by the Presi-
dent was that of n. e. Cook. AN officer
of the Philippine scouts. who was ac-
quilted by a court martial of causing
the death Of three Filipinos. The court
found that the Filipinos were killed
through a misunderstanding Of orders.
President Roosevelt disapproved the
verdict, but this does not change its
effect.
The charges against Major Glenn were
the result Of testimony given by re-
turned soldiers before the Senate Philip
pine Committee in it's investigation of
the Conduct Of the army in the islands.

in the column. The parade was then
taken up east along Pennsylvania Ave-

Cheers for Colonel Urell.
Col. NJ. Emmet Urell, known to all
the citizens of Washington who take an
interest in matters pertaining to war
fare. was applauded as he rode down
the Avenue. accompanied by Lieut.. Col.
R. A. o'Brien and Capt. Charles swigart.
adjutant OF the regiment. Some of the
guardsmef who were on the cars which
passed the column proposed three
cheers, and at all times they were re-
sponded to with will.
The First Regiment followed the Sec
ond, although Lieut.. Col. Burton R.
Ross had won a victory during the
morning. The regulations prescribe
that the senior commanding officer shall
have the right of the line. Colohel
Ross, like Colonel Urell. is known to
many Washingtonians. His following
comes mostly from the younger element,
whom he taught in the high school,
where he is instructor of military tao
tics. He paraded as far as Fifteenth
Street, where he turned the command of
the Second Battalion over TO Major
Reichelderfer.
1t is safe to say that the guardsmen
are enjoying sound sleep tonight.
Most Of them were up all day Friday
and participated in the field maneuvers
after midnight, and have not since had
any rest. The Second Cavalry, under
Capt. l.. NJ. Brett. left Camp Ordway
about 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and are expected at Fort Myer today.

MRS. MEYERS JEWELS.
Story of the Sensation Caused by Her
Diamonds in Rome Recalled.

The United States ambassador TO
Italy has returned to the United States.
Mrs Meyer. like Mrs. Draper, is
noted for the splendor of her gowns and
Jewels and was considered the most
BEAUTIFULLY dressed woman of the diplo-
matte corps at the Italian court last
winter.
Rumor had it that when General Dra-

Queen Margaretta was chagrined that
her crown diamonds were outblazed by
the precious stones worn by Mrs. Dra-
per. True, those who were in position
to know denied it. still II made an in

ONE OR Two Eggs
WANTED each DAY
Government Anxious to Sc
cure Good Laying Hen.
Must Undergo a Civil Service Test
Mrs. Marsh, of New York, Claims
to Own Needed Fowl.

Even eggs are needed by the United
States Government to properly transact
its business. Not for feeding purposes
either, but for work which borders on
the artistic. To satisfy the ever watch
full eye OF the Civil Service Commission
the hen which will have the honor to
lay the necessary number Of eggs for
governmental use must pass rigid ex-,
animation. The idea has created quite
q sensation in hendom.
Since the receipt by the Civil Service
Commission OF a requisition for hen
that will lay an egg every day for the
use of the artists in the Geological Sur
vey, who use the yolk in their work. the
Commission has had many offers to sup
ply the bird, but none guarantees
record OF an egg every day OF the year.
An offer came from Mrs. Henry
Marsh, of Numda, n. Y, who has hen
that laid double egg, the outside one
having a soft she'll, and a regulation
egg being enveloped In the yolk Of the
large one.
To Bid for Fowl.
Correspondence Will be entered into
regarding this unusual fowl. and II 1t
can be shown that the record can be
guaranteed a purchase for the Survey
may be made.
The Geological Survey people need
fresh eggs for their albumen. to be used
in Photographic work. They need them
all the time. They have grown tired OF
slirmishing around among the nearby
stores every day. and hence decided to
requisition the Civil Service Commits
sion for layer who could pass the
required examination as to ability.
The Geological Survey has now made
a second requisition on the Civil Service
Commission for an employe whose edu
cational requirements are rather broad.
This time 1t wants man. however.
He must be an expert mathematician
and craftsman, and experienced man
ager OF camping parties, able to pur
chase all stock and accouterments. in
cluding proper boats and their appur-
tenances, and must be able to operate
steam or a naphtha launch.
Skilled In Geology.
He must be skilled in applied geology
and able to locate subterranean streams
with exactness. AS expert mineralogist
he is required to be perfect. and he must
also be familiar with the qualities of
horses, mules and cattle. so as to be
qualified to purchase these animals for
working and food purposes. He also
is expected TO buy forage for the ami
mails. being the purchasing agent of the
Survev.
The pay for this work will be s45 per
month. but 1t is the opinion of the Civil
Service Commission that the Survey will
have to be disappointed. as no such ap-
plicant for work is on the rolls, and IL
is doubtful II any will ever be at the
rate OF pay named.

Then there is Jerry Matthews, now
promoter-in- general of the Charles w.
Fairbanks Presidential boom. who, like
the late Uriah II. Painter, can be spoken
OF as "once a newspaper man" Jerry
has been very Industrious IN his effort
to keep his skeletonic and Eifel tower
candidate to the front. Circumstances
have made his job hard work. but he has
worked hard. And only this week he
managed to produce some evidence that
the Fairbanks boom was really in exist
once by inducing large numbers of news
papers to print about a yard and a half
concerning It. II Senator Fairbanks is
for the present at least. out of it, the
fact is wholly due to circumstances over
which the ever effervescent and jejune
Jerry has had and has now no control.
Mr. Matthews is now clerk to the Sen
ate Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds. presided over by the standpipa
statesman from Indianapolis. but he was
so long boss of the Job On the Chicago
News and Indianapolis News" that the
boys forgive him for becoming a mere
politician and hope his Job may held
out long enough TO plant him in the soft
OF the inner sanctum OF a President of
these United States. But even the very
inoffens;vc, graBdly genial, and slightly
obese Jerry-if he ever gets there-wili
find it hard work to improve on the Hon.
George B. Cortelyou in that very trying
position. Perhaps Jerry will be back in
the newspaper business some of these
days. If so. he is singularly competent
and he will be doubly welcome.
Members of the Gridiron Club are to
be off for an extended taunt across the

West next next month. Arrangements
have been completed for a trip via Chi

Divides the Poultry Roost.

The illustration shows a novelty
which will recommend itself to the
poultry keeper for two reasons-frst,
because it will prevent the fowls from
crowding each other off the roosts,
and. secondly, owing to the provision
it makes for bringing a vermin de-
stroyer within close proximity to the
fowl while roosting, without the lat
ter touching it. These devices can be
brought into use in connection with
the roosting poles already in position
in the henhouse, and consequently
there is no expense for changing the
roosts. The invention is simple one,
consisting of single piece of wire.
which is formed into loop near one
end, with the shorter end formed into
a screw to aid in inserting it in the
wooden roost. The longer end is not
bent to it's final position until after
the screw is inserted IN the wood,
when the loose end is twisted into the
location shown, below the roost. II

He Wanted a Cab.

Masons will appreciate the humor
of this story: Few men in BROOKLYN
were better known or more liked than
Sherlock, proprietor of The Abbey. an
enormously fat Amphitryon, whose
feasts were never interrupted by Of
fcious Jupiters. When Sherlock was
initiated into his lodge in Brooklyn
the night was fearfully hot. On that
famous pilgrimage to Jerusalem which
all initiates are required to make his
perspiration rolled off in torrents.
leaving a watery trial behind him.
Blindfolded he staggered along, in
wardly praying for relief. The CON
ductor, not shortening the Journey an
iota, but rather drawing out the
agony, happened to be an old &C.
quaintance of Sherlock, who finally
recognized his voice. When he said:
Now, gentlemen"-there were sever
al initiates in the party-"your jour
ney is nearly ended; you are within
12O miles of Jerusalem" Sherlock
gasped, George, don't you think we'd
better hire cab?" The utter weari
ness, Indebtedness, anguish and de.
spair in the voice caused an explosion
that broke up the ceremony.-New

her mothers pride, says the Los An

somewhat of reputation as a Mrs.
