AXEL WAS CONFUSED
Too Much Liquor the Cause of His
HOld-up Charge.

When the police investigated the
story of Axel Lund, the Waseca man
who said he had been robbed of $34
by 81 brakeman on a 500 line train and
then thrown from the train, they
learned that Lund had made an anus
ing mistake. 1t appears from the
story of the trainmen that he came to
the city on the train but that he was
intoxicated and was asleep in the ca
boose. He was taken to the shops and
then put off the train by the brake
man. When he tried to get back on
the train, two clerks in the shops held
him. He then followed another train
out of the city and returned to tell a
story about having been robbed.

men and jockeys. Sloan claims $40, 900
DANA ges for being warned off the turf In
connection with Count de Sain-P hales
Rose de Mai winning the race for the Prix
de Diane at the ChantilIy races May II,
1908. The case is attracting much atten-
ton, as 1t involves the jockey clubs sole
control of the turf administration. Maitre
Labori began the presentation of Sloans
case by protesting against the decision.
The main point of M. Labori's argument
was that Sloan, being In this case neither
trainer nor jockey, but merely employed
to gallop horses, was not subject to the
jurisdiction Of the club. Maitre Mennes-
son maintained that the jockey clubs ac-
ton was legitimate. The case was adj

LIEUT.. oAKEs REPRIKANDED..
Gen. Chaffee Approves Sentence in the
Officers Case.

Second Lieut.. Jean 8. Oakes Artillery
Corps, was recently tried by court-martial
at San Juan, P. R., on the charge of con-
duct to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline. 1t was alleged that
Lieut.. Oakes absented himself from his
office and duties as adjutant without per-
mission, and that he entered the officers
school room at Fort Ell Moro under the in
fluence of intoxicating liquor ito such a
degree as to render him unfit for recitation
and necessitating his dismissal therefrom'
The court found him guilty Of the charge
and guilty Of two of the specifications re-
garding his absence without leave, and
also guilty of the specification as to intox-
ication except the word dismissal substi-
The accused was sentenced "to be repri-
manded by the reviewing authority and to
be restricted to the places of his duty for
period of six months"
General Chaffee, commanding the De-
partment of the East, approved the SEN
tence In this case, and administered the
following reprimand:
1.-THE testimony as 1t appears in the rec
ord of his trial, shows the accused to be
his own greatest enemy. He is admonished
that nothing takes off more from his credit
and profession and makes him more reck-
lessly careless in the discharge of his du-
ties than his evil habit of drinking to ex
cess The sentence of the court should
warn the accused that his commission as
an officer of the army may be forfeited If
he does not free himself from the tolls of
the degrading habit he is shown to have
contracted"

A SHORTER MUsKEr FAVORED.
Satisfactory Experiments With One
Only Twenty-Four Inches Long.

Satisfactory Experiments With One
Only Twenty-Four Inches Long.
Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance, and some
of his assistants at the War Department
are seriously considering the adoption of
shorter musket for the use of the army
than the one now in USE This idea is the
result of recent thorough practice tests of
the new experimental musi1et designed by
the ordnance department, ;and which it
was proposed to adopt as a substitute for
the present standard magazine or Krag-
Jorgenssen rife. These tests included
practice firing with the musket of the new
design, of two different lengths, one piece
being 30 inches long and the other "a inches
long.
The special board which conducted these
tests has reported that the new expert
mental musket did all that was claimed for
1T, and that the 24-inch arm was even more
satisfactory in essential features than the
longer arm Of the original length of 30
inches. The shorter gun proved equal in
accuracy of fire to the longer experimental
rifle and the present service arm 1t also
possessed the great advantage of being
about one pound less in weight than the
Krag- -Jorgenssen.
With only a slight increase in powder
charge 1t had the same velocity and carry
ing capacity as the longer experimental
piece. In one of the tests an officer using
the shortened musket fired 20 shots at
silhouette target the size of a man, at
distance of 100 yards, in one minute and II
of the shots hit the target
The report has received the favorable
consideration of Gen. Crozier and other
officers of the ordnance bureau, and it is
probable that they will recopmend to the
Secretary of War that the shortened mus
ket be adopted for the use of the United
States army.
