LIEUT.. sNYDER's CASE.
Notwithstanding Irregularity in Trial
the Sentence ia Approved

First Lieut.. David A. Snyder, 9th Infan-
try, was recently convicted by court-mar-
tial at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, of charges
of neglect of duty and of absence from in
spection and sentenced to be reprimanded
by the reviewing authority and to be con-
fined to the limit of his post for three
months. In his review of the proceedings
of the court Gen. Whit, commanding the
department of the Missouri, says:
IN the foregoing case of First Lieut.
David A. Snyder, 9th Infantry, the record
shows that the court was opened after
the finding for the purpose of receiving evil
dence of previous convictions. The consid-
GRAFTON of such evidence is provided for
only in the trials of enlisted men, and was
not permissible in this case. Owing to
the absence of such evidence, however. the
rights of the accused were not prejudiced
and the irregularity does not affect the le-
gality of the proceedings. The sentence is
therefore approved and will be duly execut-
ed The result of the trial and the ap-
prevail thereof are in themselves a serious
reflection upon the record of the accused,
and II Is believed that the publication of
the same in orders will prove to be a
sufficient reminder to the officer to prevent
a recurrence of such derelictons of duty

RATE OF INTEREST REDUCED.
Action Taken by Secretary Taft Re
garding PHILIPPINE Deposits.

On the recommendation of Col. Edwards,
chief of the lnsular bureau, the Secretary
of War has reduced the rate Of interest
on Philippine deposits with the Guaranty
Trust Company and the International Bank
Ing Corporation. On April 80 these COM
panies represented to Col. Edwards that
the rate in New York was ~ per cent and
that it had not averaged more than per
cent for several months. These companies
had agreed to pay 31a per cent on the friar
land funds and per cent on the gold re-
serve and general funds. After cabling the
Philippine commission, the Secretary of
War decided to fix the rate at 21 per cent
on the gold reserve and per cent on the
general funds. The rate on the friar lands
funds will remain at 31s per cent as the
commission cabled that it had made it's
arrangements on that basis. The amount
of the friar land fund is $3.50, 900 and the
general reserve fund s., 100000. The new
rate will take effect May 1, as the ne
gotiations began on that date. If the gen.
eral interest rate should increase in the
meantime the rate on these funds will be
increased. 1t is expected that the friar
lands fund will be cabled for about June 81.

men, the citizens of Bonners
Ferry have formulated a petit
ton asking for federal aid in
the work of the reclamation
of the Kootenai valley. The
petition is now being circulat-
ed throughout the valley. The
citizens have taken the only
step which is feasible. and
should the petition result sue
cessfully. SIS, 900 acres of fer
tile land will be made habita-
BILE and its value increased
from 50 GO 500 per acre. AS
the Kootenai river flows into
Canada, the work must be in

work is an engineering posi-
bility, there is no reason why
the governments Of the Unit
ed States and Canada should
not take hold of the matter.

THE refusal of the railroads
and the other corporations to
pay the special school tax,
voted by the various districts
OF kootenai county, will
cause considerable hardship,
especially in new districts.
This tax has been paid for the
the past two Or three years
and on the strength of that
action, district trustees made
contracts with teachers for
from six to nine months
school. Pending the ruling of
