GIVES LOWE A CLEAR RECORD
Charges of Negligence in Accounting
for Canteen Funds Not
SukLaIned.

FORT MEADE, S. D., March 2.-(Spe-
cial.)-An order has been received from
army headquarters for the release from ar
rest of Lieutenant Walter L. Lowe of the
Thirteenth United States cavalry at Fort
Meade, which is virtually an exoneration
of the charges under which Lieutenant
Lowe was recently tried by court-martial.
The specific charge was negligence while
acting as canteen oficer at this post. Lieu
tenant Lowe had accepted the returns OF
Sergeant Strange Of the canteen as to the
canteen property and funds in his custody.
without verifying It by ascestaining at the
bank in sturgis where the funds we're sun
posed to be kept. Sergeant Strange de-
serted from this post and 1t was found that
Lieutenant Lowe made the shortage good
out Of his own money. but the matter had
been reported and charges we're preferred.
The trial brought out many facts con-
corning Lieutenant loves army record that
were previously unknown to other officers
OF his regiment. He served with the vol
unteer forces in the Spanish war, lighting
in Cuba. and distinguished himself by
exhibitions Of signal bravery. He was aft
erward appointed by President Mckinley on
the Paris exposition commission, but i'll
noss contracted in Cuba prevented an ac-
ceptance and his brother was given the ap-
pointment. Lieutenant Lowe then went to
the Philippines as an officer and again
distinguished himself on several occasions
by acts of bravery in tire presence Of the
enemy. for which he received the highest
recommendations. He had never alluded
to the incidents in The presence Of EEL

Captain Lucas, commandant Of the Sol

amount OF SS2.65 from the government.
When he was mustered out OF the service
he was in such haste to get home to a Sic:

would have been a delay CT one day. He
left on the first train available, paying his

would execute certain papers sent the
amount would he paid. This no did and
a few weeks later received a draft In pay

CREATIONS TO Be REPEATED
Intercollegiate 0ratorical Association De
sides to Hold Contest Anew.
CREIGHTON MUST WIN FIRST AGAIN
Results of Regular Competition Not
Liked by the Losers and They
Secure n R~ehenrinE for
Their Champions.
lFrom a San Corresnondentl

LINCOLN, March Especial Telegram.)
Al a conference of the colleges inter-
ested. held here today. it was decided to
go over again the speeches delivered in
the recent Intercollegiate oratorical con-
test for the purpose Of determining the
dispute which then arose through the fail
ure OF one OF the judges to properly OBJ
serve the rule for marking.
On Thursday, February IL last, the an
nual contest Of the association was held
here. At the conclusion the judges first
announced that Cotner's representative had
won first place. On a revision of the mark
ings this decision was changed and first
place was awarded to Montgomery Of
Creighton. One Of the judges, Rev. Row
lands OF Lincoln. had failed to observe
exactly the rules prescribed for the mark
ings. He had marked Creighton first. and
then had given three seconds and finally
put down Doane third. According to the
rules, the markings should have shown
first. second, third, etc. and under this
the Doane man would have stood hfth on
Rowlands' marking. A referee Judge was
called in, and it turned out that he was
a graduate of Dcane. but this had no
weight in his decision, for he also gave
Creighton first. So we'll satisfied was
everyone at the time that the prize. $25,
was paid over to Montgomery and the mat.
ter was thought to be over for the year.
DoRnc Dissatisfied.
Dissatisfaction was afterward expressed
by some OF the colleges. Doane being the
principal mover for the repetition Of the
contest, and a meeting was held here today
to consider the matter. II was contended
by Creighton that the matter had been
fairly settled at the first contest, and that
ii was unfair to the winners at that time
to be compelled to compete again. giving
the losers the advantage Of a second trial.
II was shown that Creighton had had 10
voice in the selection of the judges, Being
without representation on the executive
board Of the association, and that the VIC
tory Of Creighton was thus all the more
fairly won. To obviate the necessity OF an
other competition, Creighton offered to al
low the Rowlands vote to be revised and
cast again or to submit the matter to the
judges OF the supreme court for a decision
as to the technicalities involved. Creighton
was also willing to let the three leaders
repeat their o~rations before the judges. All
OF these propositions were rejected, and the
new competition called. Creighton natur-
ally feels that it has been unfairly treated,
but the representatives of the college here
today say their man will be on hand when
the s~peechmaking begins, and feel conf
dent he will win.
The association consists OF Wesleyan and
Cotner. Lincoln; Doane, Hastings; Grand
Island, Bellevue and Creighton.

Life work OF west Point prIe.t.

WEST POINT. Neb., March 2~.-(Special)
For the last nineteen years, during the
incumbency Of very Rev. Joseph Ruesing
as rector of the Catholic parish of st.
Mary's in this city. the material condition
OF the parish has been steadily growing
better. A fine church. costing $22, 900, was
built ten years ago, the property otherwise
improved, and now the building Of a
parochial residence has been started, which
when completed will make the property
Of the church here the most valuable
ecclesiastical investment in northeast Ne
braska. The church owns an entire city
block and the value Of the property and
its improvements when the structure now
being built is completed will not be short
OF $4,000. The cid frame church erected
here by the pioneers OF Cunning county
in 1870 has been torn down to make room
for the new improvement. To Father
Ruesing's arduous efforts is due this re-
markable achievement. No parish in the
state has made such progress in the last
two decades. This Jealous clergyman has
made this his lie work and is happy in
being able TO at least partially realize his
ambition.
