NUGENT GOES TO JAIL
Committed on an Indefinite Sentence Be-
cause of Failure to Pay His
Fathers Creditors.

Louisville. Ky, March 24.-In ac-
cordance with the mandate of the Unit
ed States supreme court, w. T. Nugent
of this city has been committed to Jail
indefinitely by Judge Evans in the fed
eral court on account of his failure to
pay $4,000 to the creditors of his ia
theirs, the late E. B. Nugent, formerly
dry goods merchant of this city, who
failed several years ago.
At the time of the failure young
Nugent, it was charged, sold goods to
the amount of $4,000. and failed to
turn over the proceeds to the creditors
when ordered to do so by Judge Evans.
He was ordered sent to Jail by Judge
Evans for contempt of court, but the
federal circuit court of appeals re-
versed the decision. The United
States supreme court, however, sus-
tanned Judge Evans, and recently re-
fused to grant rehearing of the case.
When the final mandate of the highest
court was received Nugent tried to eff
feet a settlement with his creditors,
but failing in this, has just been SEN
fenced.

sidration of them was postponed until
oil the facts in the matter became
known. Whatever intentions the pres
ident had with respect to the treatment
to be accorded General Miles, his fu-
ture action will be somewhat infiu-
enced by the fact that General Miles
statement before the senate committee
has heen represented to him as being
privileged. The president proposes to
read the testimony given at the hear
ing, and to consult with different
members of the committee on military
affairs before finally announcing what
he proposes to do.
1t is significant that long after the
cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary
Root and the attorney general were
clOseted with the president. The pres
ident is known to have stated that
he was tired of the friction in the
army. and whether it is decided that
General Miles statement was priv
LEGGED one or not he will at no distant
day take action looking to his re-
tirement.
The printed testimony of General
Miles has not yet been made public
and it is understood that it will be

well understood that great deal of
what the. general said will not appear
in the record. Members of the COM
mittee say the report published yes
terday was correct in substance in
every particular. At the same time,
these senators do not agree that Gen
eral Miles can be punished for his ut
terances before the committee, whether
they appear in the record or not. OF
course, the committee could take no
action to prevent the retirement of
General Miles. That, under the law,
is purely an executive act and needs
no confirmation nor approval Of the
senate.
Secretary Root was in consultation
for some time with President ROose-
welt at the White House last night
regarding the statement of General
Miles before the military affairs COM
mittee of the senate. Senator SpOOner
also was present. Root declined to
talk for publication concerning the
matter. saying that he had not read

WAR DEPARTMENT Is INTERESTED
General Miles Says His Statements Are Not
Correctly Given.

Correctly Given.
The news of General Miles state
ments before the military committee
of the senate excited great interest at
the war department when it became
known there late In the day. There
was very general inquiry as to
whether by passing the criticisms up
on various officials, as reported i'm the
press. General Miles had not exposed
himself to disciplinary treatment. The
answer to this must be based on the
exact amount of privilege which at
taches to testimony given before a
committee of congress.
While General Miles did not expect
when he gave his testimony that il
would be made public in any form he

lished by the committee, making him.
self the broad statement that the state
ments which were given to the press
as those made by himself before the
committee We're misrepresentation
and totally unwarranteG.
Secretary Root exhibited little feel
ing when his attention WAS called to
the proceedings before the committee.
He remarked quietly that he was very
sorry Lieutenant General Miles OPP
posed this bill. He pointed out that
under section 7. of which General
Miles complained. the lieutenant gem
eral would have greatly enlarged pow
ers In army management, instead of
being restricted In his functions, as he
supposed. IS to the question whether
General Miles had said anything which
would require action at the hands of
the department or the president the
secretary firmly declined to express
any opinion for the present at least,
preferring await an official copy OF
the committee hearing before reaching
any decision.

General Miles said that if this pro-
vision should become a law it would
have the effect of destroying the utility
of the army, and he read numerous
authorities, including Napoleon, Wei
lingtOn, Washington, Cass and Grant,
to show the necessity of having one
head to the army and of controlling
authority. His own experience and
observation had, he said. had the effect
of confirming these views, and he gave
an illustration of its beneficial effect
in time of emergency, instancing the
beginning of the war with Spain.

that the bill was calculated to accom-

secretary of war and the adjutant
general TO promote the interests of
their personal favorites. In the course
or his remarks General Miles told the
committee in confidence that, with the
bill law, he could now name the
men who would hold the places of
honor provided under it, but the COM
mittee did not ask for the names. He
also declared that if the bill became
law he would decline longer to hold
