SETS ASIDE ACTION OF SKATERS COURT
Says Omcers of the Regular Army,
sitting as COurt-Msrtial, Cannot
Legally Try Volunteer
Soldiers.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10.-Established prece-
dents Of the United States army were
overthrow and the freedom Of nearly 200
men now confined in federal penitentiaries
was assured by a decision rendered by
the United States circuit court of appeals
today In the case OF Peter c. Deming, a for
mer captain OF United States volunteers,
against Robert w. McClaughrey, warden Of
the federal p~enintentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth. Deming was imprisoned in sen
tence Of a court-martial composed of nine
regular army officers, convened by General
w. R. Shafter on March 20. 1900.
The opinion Of the circuit court. written
by Judge Walter H.. Sanborn, is hat the
court martial which sentenced Deming
acted in violation of article n OF the articles
OF war, which provides that oficers Of the
regular army shall not be competent to sit
on court-martial for the trial Of ofhcers
and soldiers Of other forces.
The essential question, as stated in Judge
Sanborn's opinion, is whether the volunteer
army is the same as the regular army or
whether 1t is one Of the 'other forces"
mentioned In article n. The opinion es-
tablishes the fact that the volunteer army
is at all times distinct from the regular
army. Deming will be released from the
Fort L~eavenworth penitentiary within sixty
days and all former members OF the volun-
teer army who are confined In federal pris-
ons on sentences inflicted by courts-martia
OF regular officers will also be liberated as
the result OF today's decision.
q. A. Roster, United States district at
torney, estimates the number of such cases
at 200. Deming was a captain in the sub
sistsncs department OF the volunteer army.
He was commissioned under the act Of 1893,
providing for the enlistment Of soldiers for
the Philippine war. The charge against
him related to his accounts.
The ~court-martisl, composed of nine on
GERS OF the regular army, dismissed Deming
from the service and sentenced him to
three years In the penitentiary. This SEN
tence was afirmed by the secretary OF war
and approved by the president.
In June, 1898. Judge Advocate General
Lieber decided that regular army officers
might try volunteers under the act OF 1898,
providing for the enlistment Of soldiers for
the Spanish war. Under this ruling many
cases wcro tried and sentences imposed.
The Deming case was the first in which
an appeal was taken. In his opinion, Judge
sanborn says that General Shafter was
prohibited by the Law Of the United States
from constituting the Deming court martial
Of regular army ~ofhcers, and that the ae-
| tion of the tribunal Is void.

Governor Taft's former testimony to the
effect that the Filipinos are not Industrious
and asked whether this condition would
render necessary the importation OF Chi
nese. Governor Taft said that 1t was to
be profoundly hoped that this would not
prove to be the case. In general, he
thought that the effect Of the admission Of
the Chinese would be to monopolize nearly
all the avenues. d trade, but 1t was
more dificult to say what the effect would
be on the labor OF the islands.
Has the commission ever recommended
the admission OF the Chlnese?" asked Sen
ator Lodge.
The reply was in the negative.
Senate Carmack asked what would be
the effect OF expressions Of utter contempt
for the Filipinos by republican orators and
referred to a speech, which, he said, had
been made by a United States senator,
placing the native Filipinos on a level in
tellectually with Caribou bulls.
FIlipinOs n Sensitive People
"The Filipjnos are a sensitive people," he
said, 'and resent any impeachment OF
their intelligence. They do not like to be
characterized as savages-."
"Or bulls" interjected Mr.. Carmack.
MEAS bulls" assented Governor Taft.
IL this connection Senator Lodge asked
as TO the effect Of u%tterances calculated to
encourage the Fiiipinos to resist the au-
thority OF the United States, to which the
reply was: "a
Such sutterances are a great obstacle
to the success OF our efforts"
Senator Patterson made an inquiry as to
the effect Of Senator Hoar's recent speech
in the senate. THAT speech" he said,
was full of sympathy for the Fllipinos.
"If circulated in the Philippine Islands
would it not subject its author to arrest and
imprisonment
Governor Taft begged to be excused
from replying to the question at this time.
There was more or less discussion as to
the presence OF American troops in the
islands and Senator Lodge drew from Gov
ernor Taft the explanation that the military
force OF the United States had been re-
duced from 1000 to 41.O0O troops. The
governor added that he had been informed
by the secretary Of war that 1t was the in
tention to reduce the force in the imme-
date future to $4,000.
WAS Il the withdrawal Of the troops
that produced trouble? % asked Mr.. Lodge
o the contrary" replied Governor
Taft, ''in the pacihed provinces the effect
has been to increase tranquility

day In order to give Governor Taft an op-
portunity to make a visit to New York.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
lOms Parties Will NsniHsts Candidates for
Police Court Judge.
LABOR PEOPLE TAKE THE INITIATIVE
Democrats Expected to Put Up Candi-
date by PetitiOn-City Attorney OF
Opinion that Last Election
Wss illegal.

1t begins to look as II there was going to
be a fight on the proposition Of electing a
police Judge in the spring. The old custom
provided that a police Judge was elected
along with the mayor, counciimen and other
city officials. In November, 1899, Judge
King, democrat, and Judge Babcock. repub-
lican, contested for the election, although
Babcock was at that time police Judge. Last
fall Judge King ran against Charles Alt
stadt and was elected. Now some attor-
neys assert that Judge King has no right
to adjust judicial matters in South Omaha
for the reason that he was elected at a fall
instead Of a spring election.
The labor party has taken the initiative
and announced in its call for a caucus that
a candidate for police Judge would be
elected. The democrat call makes no men
tion Of police Judge, but It is understood
that a candidate will run by petition. AS
for the republicans the call will not be
issued until Wednesday OF this week and
the understanding is that a police Judge Is
on the list OF candidates to be voted on at
the convention.
In an opinion recently rendered. City At
torney Lamber says that Babcock can col
lect his back salary. as he does not con-
slider the election Of police Judge at the
general election according to regulations.
Should q police judge be elected at the
coming election by any party Judge King
will have to show cause why he is en-
titled 10 his ONCE and this will likely bring
on a lengthy trial in the courts.
Ask O'KeeHe for Aid.
Four cases Of smallpox were reported

that he is in destitute circumstances and
II Is understood that the city officials will
ask County Commissioner o'Keefe to sup
ply feed for the horses and mules during
the quarantine. AS for tveatment OF the
