MAY FACE A TRIAL
CHARGES PREFERRED AGAINST
 CAPTAIN E. B. JOSEPH.
Major Charles Anderson Sends Paper to Colonel Graves Accusing
 Commander of Montgomery Greys of Insubordination.

Charges of insurbordination have been preferred against Capt. F. B. Joseph, of the Montgomery Greys, by Maj. Charles F. Anderson. commanding the second battalion. second Infantry, Alabama Nat ional Guard. The charges were sent through the proper military channels and were received yesterday at Eufaula by Col. B. H. Graves Commanding the se- cond Infantry.
 Colonel Graves in a telephone communi- cation to Montgomery said last night that he would be here Tuesday and while here would probably investigate the matter In case he finds the charges are well founded q court martial will follow, to take place during the regimental encamp- ment this summer.
 In postponing the court Colonel Graves seeks to pile up no additional expense. as would be incurred, should the court be called immediately. During camp all the officers will be together and the court may be formed and the case tried with out additional expense.
 The alleged insubordina tion with which Captain Joseph is charged took place on Memorial Day, shortly after the exercises at Oakwood Cemetery as the commands comprising the battalion of Major Ander- son were returning to the armory hall The GreyS were considerably in advance of the rest of the battalion and were mar ching in quick time in order to avoid a threatening thunder storm.
 Major Anderson ordered the company to fall in with the other commands in battal- ion formation Captain Joseph argued the point with Major Anderson, saying that the battalion had been dismissed at the cemetery and he was at liberty to march his command in company formation to the armory. Words followed and Captain Joseph and the Greys were ardered under arrest. On their return to the armory they were released from arrest.
 The affair caused considerable talk a. mong the militiamen and the outcome of the charges vii be watched with inter- est by them.

LITTLE IS BEING DONE|
PANAMA COMPANY MERELY
 MAKING A SHOW.
Just Enough Work on the Isthmian Canal to Keep the Project Alive. The Subcommittee
 Returns.

Washington, May 9.-The sub-commit- tee of the Isthmian Canal Commission, consisting of Rear Admiral Walker, Gen eral Haines and Prof ,ssor Burr, which visited the Isthmus of Panama to in- spect the work and property of the new Panama Canal Company, has returned to Washington.
 The mission of the committee was &C., complished quicker than was anticipated. The Commission found that while the ca- nal company has employed on the work about ], POO men, little in a definite or ef- fective way is being accomplished. Just enough work is being done to keep the project alive.
 Members of the Commission say the rat ification of the canal treaty by the United States was received enthusiastically by the people of the isthmus. Property values increased rapidly and real estate along the route of the canal continues to rise.
 On arrival at the isthmus, the members of the Commission let it be known that their mission was purely one of engineer ing and that they had nothing to do with the political or diplomatic phases of the situation. Some valuable data was gath cred and these will be reported to the full Commission. Subsequently upon the ap- pointment of the Commission which will supervise the construction of the water way, the information will be presented to 1t.
 Members of the Commission are of the opinion that the treaty will eventually be ratified by the Colombian Congress.
 Admiral Walker had a long talk with Secretary Hay today on conditions on the isthmus in their special relation to the canal project.
