SENTENCED TO PRISON
GERMAN ARMY OFFICER WHO
WROTE "A LITTLE GARRISON"
His Novel Is Alleged to Have Compro-
missed "Personages"-MustF Fight
Several Duels.

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE military court at
Metz to-day concluded the trial of Lieuten-
ant Bilsen, author of a book entitled "A
Little Garrison" and sentenced the lieu
tenant to six months in prison and to dis
missal from the army. One month, the time
the officer has already spent in prison. was
allowed to be deducted from the sentence.
The novel was ordered destroyed.
The decision of the court was based on
the fact that In his novel Lieutenant Bill
sen insulted his superior officers and drew
such a picture of events happening In
Forbach, Alsace-Lorraine, that personages
living in that place were compromised. The
court further says that the lieutenant dis
obeyed an order of Emperor William, for
bidding any officer to publish a pamphlet
without the permission OF his military SUI
periors.
In the defendants favor 1t was urged
that the novel was q book and not a pam.
phlet that 1t contained much truth con.
cerning the narrow condition existing In
small garrisons, and the frequent injustice
of superior officers to their interiors, and
that il reflected on dueling.
Several officers of the regiment to which
Lieutenant Bilsen belonged have agreed
among themselves to challenge him tc
duels The Tageblatt says that Captain
Bandel, who testified in Bilsen's favor, has
been suspended. Lieutenant Bilsen will
endeavor to have the case reopened.

WRIGHT CANNOT SURVIVE
OPERATION DEVELOPS THAT SPINAL
CHORD Is SEVERED.
DIR. Ford, Chief Surgeon of the Big
Four, Can Hold Out No Hope for
Young Mans Recovery.

DR.. Ford, chief surgeon of the Big Four,
yesterday afternoon at st. Vincent's Hos
pital performed an operation on II. o.
Wright, of Pendleton. Ind, one Of the Pur-
due wreck victims. Not until yesterday
was his condition deemed satisfactory for
an operation and DR.. Ford had hope that
the young mans life could be saved.
This hope was. however, dissipated by the
outcome of the operation. 1t developed the
fact that while his back was not broken the
spinal chord was entirely severed. The
bones of the back were found to be badly
dislocated.
''The young man may linger for some
time,' said DIR. Ford last night, "but his
death is only a matter of time. There can
be no such thing as recovery when the
spinal chord is severed. While l have
known patients to live two years under
similar conditions, / do not think young
Wrights life will be spared that long AL
ready there is an affection of the kidneys
This is a particularly sad case" DIR.
Ford continued. THE young man is a
splendid speciman of physical manhood In
health he weighed pa pounds. all bone and
muscle, and was good TO look upon. There
is but one consolation-he suffers no pain -

FORMAL DENIAL is MADE
REAL SIGNIFICANCE OF GOVERNORS
TRIP TO WASHINGTON.
1t Does Not Relate to Political Mat
ters, but Is I'm the Interest of
State Guards Pay.

At the Governors office last evening
formal denial was made of the truth of
the statement appearing in the Washing
ton correspondence Of a local evening
paper TO the effect that announcement had
been made that Governor Durbin was 60
ing to Washington for the purpose of con-
ferring with Indiana members of Congress
on the political situation in Indiana or
elsewhere, and quoting the Governor as
saying that his visit is for the purpose of
having an understanding all around"
IL was stated that the purpose of the
Governors trip is fully understood by
those desiring to be acquainted with the
facts. The state military authorities have
been unable to reach by correspondence
an agreement with reference TO the amount
TO be paid for the service of members of
the Indiana National Guard who attended
the State camp OF instruction In July, and
1t was some days ago determined that the
Governor should visit Washington for the
purpose of conferring with the War De-
partment. As neither the Governor nor
anyone speaking for him has hinted at any
other object In making this trip, or thought
of any other. IL Is assumed that this state

NOW WHASCOALINGSTATIO
UNITED STATES HAS SECURED LAND
AT GUANTANAMO.
Transfer OF Property Quietly Effected
Several Days Ago-Cuba Can Now
Be Fully Protected.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.-without any
formality the United States has come into
actual possession of the coaling station at
Guantanamo. Although the flag raising has
not taken place 1t was learned at the Navy
Department to-day that the transfer was
effected in quiet manner several days
ago. Under arrangements Cuba will pay
the owners of the property. It was ex-
plained that the moving factor in the tran
saction was the knowledge that Cuba was
without a navy. and as the United States
has undertaken the protection of the island
against a foreign foe and desires the station
as naval base to protect its own inter-
ests, the transfer was made in order that
this government might complete it's plans
mapped out some time ago.
In furtherance of these plans a board of
inspection. consisting of Major General
Chaffee, assistant chief of staff, General
Gillespie, chief Of engineers. and Captain
Dayton, of the navy, left to-day for Nor
folk, where they will board the cruiser
Buffalo now fitting there for a visit to
Guantanamo and Bahia Honda, the other
coaling station granted to the United States
under agreement with Cuba.

KOKOMO, Ind, Nov. n.-During the per-
formance of the Sunset Mines" at the Sipe
Theater tonight a quarrel arose between
S. A. Warner the leading actor, and Bert
Spurgeon, the stage carpenter. The trou-
BILE started in the dressing room. Warner
took exception to the manner in which
Spurgeon had arranged the stage setting
and told Spurgeon that Ii did not suit him
Spurgeon became angry instantly and n
quarrel was started between the two men.
Spurgeon grabbed club that was lying
near and beat Warner severely about the
head and shoulders. Warner ran from the
room and sought refuge on the open stage
while the play was in progress. Spurgeon
followed him and renewed the attack,
knocking Warner to the floor with the
club and administering to him a terrible
beating before the large audience which
had assembled.
The murderous assault broke up the play
The audience arose in confusion, fearing
that a murder had been committed, fed
panic-stricken from the opera house, tram
pling over each other as they sought to get
out. No attempt was made TO capture Spur
geon who fed Immediately after commit
ting the assault. The police were hurried
ly summoned and started 10 work on the
case, but at a late hour Spurgeon had not
been apprehended-
Medical attention was quickly given to
the actor. who was picked up bleeding pro-
fusely from the wounds his head and
shoulders and laid on cot in the dress
ing room. The doctors who attended him
expressed grave doubts as TO his recovery.

beating may have produced conclusion OF

Ii is considered remarkable that no one
was hurt In the wild stampede of the audi
ence IN getting out of the opera house. as

pacity.
