OFFICER DIDN'T PASS
SECOND EXAMINATION

Second Lieut.. c. Rodman Jones,
First Cavalry, has been honorably dis
charged from the service under the act
OF Congress approved October l, 1890,
which says that if an officer shall fail in
his examination for promotion for any
other reason than disability contracted
in line of duty he shall be suspended
from promotion for one year. when he
shall be re-eXamined, and in case he
fails on such accumulation, he shall
be honorably discharged. with one year s
pay, from the army.
Lieutenant Jones was examined for
promotion in 1902. Having failed pro-
fessionally, he was suspended for one
year and was re examined May 9, 1903.
He failed in his professional qualifica-
lions on this denomination, and was,
therefore, discharged under the pro-
visions of the act cited. He is native
