FIRST ORDER REVOKED
TRIAL OF CAPE WALLACE By
CoURT-MAuTIAL DEFERRED.
insufficient Notice 8Given in Original
ProceedinGs-1pecial Orders
in Snpefsedure.

Special order No. I, dated headquarters
Corps District of Columbia. October 20, con-
vening court-martial for the trial Of
Capt 3. d. Wallace of Charles Young Com
mand, Spanish War Veterans, for disobedi-
ence OF orders in violation of section 2, arti-
Gle TO- of the rules and regulations of the
Spanish War Veterans, has been revoked
by the publication Of special order No. g
This was caused by the discovery of con-
fict between military law and that adopted
by the Army of Spanish War Veterans as to
the number of days allowed the accused for
preparation for trial. According to special
order No. 1. Captain Wallace was only
given eight days notice, the minimum num-
Der of days required by Davis United
States military law. As the rules and regu-
lations of the Army of Spanish War Vet
Grams require ten days, the first order was
revoked and another published ordering a
court martial to convene November 49,
Ine hour OF converting will be o'clock
pm. and the court will sit continuously I'M
til the conclusion OF the trial. The pros
pective trial Of Captain Wallace is the one
topic OF conversation among the members
of Spanish War Veterans in the District
and the fact that the accused is a colored
man, together with that Of this being the
first trial of importance to occur in the
United states attracts widespread interest
!he court-martial, as named 10 try Cap
tain wallace, is composed of the highest
ranking officers Of the corps eligible for
such duty.
In discussing the case yesterday an Of
ficer of the corps, speaking of the presump-
ton OF prejudice on the color line, said:
The corps commander, Major Frederic
S. Hodgson. who ordered the court-martial
of Captain Wallace, is northern man, and
also an officer of the local branch of Sons
of Veterans; the officer who preferred the
charges. Senior Vice Commander George
West Byron, is, think, also northerner
The judge advocate. Rufus w. Pearson, is
a western man, is lawyer and was SER
geant in President Roosevelts troop of
Rough Riders.
las far as l know, the court named is
composed of three natives of the south, three
of the District and seven Of the northern
and western states. These comprise one
Grand Army, two ex-regular army and ten
volunteer army comrades, seven of whom
have seen active service at the front
THE charge of southern prejudice suffi-
cient to defeat justice in Captain Wallace's
behalf is. therefore. unfounded and most
positively unjust and untrue.
THE trial is going to be lively one, how
ever, and altract every possible attention
here in the District Captain Wallace is
a brainy young man and is we'll liked by his
brother officers and comrades of white ex-
traction"

PRoHIB1TED By NEW Law.
Dealers Under Restrictions Regarding
Sales on Streets,

A colored man from the country, whose
name was recorded as William Bennett,
was arrested yesterday by Policeman Hay
Den and held to answer a charge of being
an unlicensed produce dealer. The arrest
was made in South Washington, where Ben
nett was trying to dispose of some cabbage
that he had been unable to sell in market.
Under the old law such sales were per-
mltted, where the dealer sold produce Of
his own raising. The new law requires
license to be procured where the produce is
retailed at any place other than in the
market. Assistant City Solicitor Pugh
called the courts attention to the change In
the law, which, he said, seems not to be
generally known by farmers.
Bennett was ignorant of the law. and 1t is
said he made inquiries Of the police ip ad-
vance. and was advised that the law per-
United such sales. - Under the circum-
stances Judge Bundy took Benefits per-
sonal bonds.
Similar action was taken in the case Of
Henry Mitchell, who was employed as
Benefits assistant.
