A SEVERE WHACK
Siven Army CourtmartiaI Methods by
Gee. Of War Taft.

Washington. Nov. H.--Secretary Taft
has hit army retiring boards and
coIrtmartials a hard blow. During the
past week he disapprOved the recon-
mendation of retiring board that
Surgeon Aaron H. Appel be retired.
He also recommended investigation of
the sentence of dismissal against Lieut..
J. Nee. Pruyn. In these cases a gener-
al opinion that these officers ought to
be put out of the army seemed to
have overmuch weight. Secretary Taft
wrote to the President:
Il have read the proceedings in the
Pruyn case. My Judgment is. like that
Of Gen. Cha flee. IN favor Of mitigating
the sentence of dismissal. 1t seeems to
me that what is proven of Pruyn in
this case on the charges is not suffi-
cient to justify capital sentence.
am sorry to say. however. that the rec
ord of Pruyn. which leaks out in the
course of the trial. by no means en-
courages the hope that he will be "A
valiIa bic officer in the army.
"Possihly the sentence, if mitiCatcd
as recommended by Gen. Chaffee. in
whose recommendation | concur will
startle him into change of life. but
even with the possibility that he will
again fail, I do not think it just that
for the offence as shown in the record
and as proven. he should he finally
separated from the army.
This is an instance like the retire
mant of Major Appel, in which it
seems to me that the courtmartial.
with the commendable desire or rid
ding the army of unlikely material or
undesirable members. has used the in
strument of a verdict of any army
board on insufficient evidence to sus-
tain this useful result. I do not think
that the army can or ought to be pu-
rified in this somewhat irregular man.

Death of Mrs. Sparks

The news of the sudden death Of Mrs.
Geo. T. Sparks, of Fort Smith, which
reached here soon after noon on Friday
the 10Th, caused much sorrow, and
cast gloom over her many friends on
this side of the river.
She was stricken with apoplexy about
one clock and only lived short time,
never regaining consciousness Mrs,
Sparks WAS fifty-three years of age and
was born at the Dibrell residence in
this city, being the second daughter of
the late Dr. James A. Dibrell, one Of
the most prominent physicians in the
state, and Ann Eliza Pryor, for whom
she was named.
Here we knew her as a child, having
lived as neighbor to the Dibrell family
for many years, and watched her grow
to womanhood, making friendships
strong and steadfast that lasted till her
death. Chief among her lovely traits Of
character was her sincere devotion to
her friends, and many there are who
mourn her untimely death.
After the war she made her home
with Mrs. Dora DuVal in Fort Smith
until her marriage in 1878 to Mr.. Geo.
T. Sparks of that city, where they
made their home, and she drew around
her friends from every walk of life. Her
gentle and amiable manner attracted
all with whom she associated, and her
many deeds of charity made friends
among the poor and needy
Her greatest joy was in her home and
family and the best of her life was given
to them. Now that home is sad and
desolate. The guiding hand is still in
death no more will they hear the low
ing voice and feel her dear presence but
she has left An influence for good that
will last long and is far-reaching, the
memory of noble Christian wife,
mother and friend that will be sweet
forever. She leaves a husband. three
sons and one daughter to mourn her
loss. Also two brothers and three sis.
ters, Dr. Ed. Dibrell of Little Rock DR..
MS Dibrell Of Van Buren,, Mrs. Dora
DuVal and Mrs DR., Hynes of Fort Smith
and Mrs, Albert Shibley Of Van Buren,,
To tn ese and other relatives we extend
our deepest sympathy.
