tered the saloon and asked for a drink
Of whisky. When Kohlmann turned
TO wait upon him the man deliberately
shot him In the head. With the smok-
ing revolver in his hand, the robber
then sprang over the bar and seized
the money exposed on a back shelf,
amounting TO about 81. AS he turned
to fee he fired parting shots at the
deaf mute and the Kohlmann hoy, hit
ting the former. Sixty dollars In the
cash register and $50 in Kohlmann's

CANNOT CORNER THE MARKET
Decision in Chicago Appellate Court
Affecting Board of Trade

CHICAGO. January S.-The appellate
court today, in a sweeping decision. sus-
tanned the injunction issued by Judge
Chytraus against eight board of trade men,
bers charged with operating a corner
and sustaining the contention against the
"cornering'' of the market.
The court holds that under the laws of
trades upon the basis of an artificial value
created by the cornering of the market and
that margins deposited in banks or else
where are within the jurisdiction of the
courts in that they effect the right to prop
erty.
The decision draws a legal distinction be-
tween questions touching the disciplinary
rights of the board in which the latter has
repeatedly been held to be sovereign, and
question of property rights. and holds that
disputes between members involving
finances can. If desired by either party, be
submitted to the courts for decision.
The case of Waite, Thorburn Co.
against the board of trade was the princi-
pal case upon which the others were based
and which resulted in the securing of an in
junction against the board. This firm had
sold oats for July delivery The price ad-
vanced. and it was claimed by the COM
piainants that the market was cornered.
and that the settling price insisted upon
lngly asked and granted enjoining the pay
ment of margins deposited in bank. The
decision created Juror on the board at
the time. 1t is said there are forty cases
depending upon this decision of the appel
late court.

manufacturing certain roofing compositions.
The firm recently applied its compound to
the roof Of the Treasury Department build
ing. the contract price for SO doing being

RESTORATION TO RANK
ARMY OFFICER BRINGS SUIT
AGAINST SECRETARY OF WAR.
Application for Writ Of Mandamus-
System Recently Adopted Sub
ject of Attack.

The relative rank of the officers of the
Artillery Corps, United States army, below
the grade OF captain. as recently arranged
and announced by the War Department.
has been attacked in the courts. First
Lieut.. Frank b. Edwards, Artillery Corps,
this afternoon petitioned the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia for writ
War and the adjutant general of the army
TO restore Edwards to his lawful rank in
the army.
1t is charged that in violation of acts OF
Congress relating to the subject the Secre-
tary of War, through the adjutant general
has caused a large number of army officers,
who We're or had been commissioned officers
in the volunteer army, to rank above Ed
wards. who. from July d, 1909. had been
an officer in the regular army, thereby re-
ducng Edwards lineal and relative rank

n petition for writ of mandamus. SUBJ
stantially similar to that in the Edwards
case. was filed this afternoon by Second
Lieut.. Henry M. Dougherty, Artillery
Corps United States Army, who also names
the Secretary of War and adjutant general
of the army respondents. Lieutenant
Dougherty AYERS that by reason of the
unlawful acts of the Secretary and the
adjutant general in arranging the relative

says that unless he should be restored to
his proper rank his promotion to the grade
of captain will be delayed for many years.

ONLY ON THEIR MERITS
SHOULD OFFICERS OF THE NAVY
BE REWARDED.
Secretary Moody Surprised to Learn
That Young Midshipmen Resort
Otherwise.

Secretary Moody has written the follow
ing self-explanatory letter to the superin-
tendent Of the Naval Academy at AnEapo-
lis:
1.-The department having become aware
that some of the midshipmen at the Naval
Academy have resorted to political IN
fiuerce in connection with their assignment
to duty. 1t Is desired that you publish to the
battalion of midshipmen at formation this
expression Of the departments disapproval.
1T is a matter of surprise. as Well as OF
regret. that any midshipman should be SO
little imbued with the spirit Of fairness as
to be willing to take such advantage over
his fellows. In every day life such course
Is to be deplOred: in the naval service its
effect IL unchecked. would be disastrous.
One of the most important principles on
which efficient military organiza ton is
founded is that all officers should rely for
their reward solely upon their proved
merits and ability: and any departure from
this. by the use of outside influence to OBJ
tain preferment. not only reflects discredit
upon the individual concerned, but also
Injuries the entire service.
THAT young officer should be guilty of
this pernicious practice at the outset of his
career gives the department grave concern;
for 1t Is necessary to the maintenance of
the high moral and professional tone Of the
service that the midshipmen at the Naval
Academy should acquire there the highest
principles, for guidance in their individual
actions.
These remarks are not to be construed
as reflection on the battalion Of midship-
men; on the contrary. the department has
full confidence that as body they con-
denim all actions unfair and detrimental to
the service; but the principle involved is
vital to the best interests of the country.
