DOING
For Military Officers Who Want
Papers Served Here.
No One Can Be Found Who Is Will
ing to Run the Risk OF
Doing It.
A COURT MARTIAL Is ON

Major E. b. Bassett. of Hopkins
vile, who yesterday afternoon and
last night held school" here for com
pany /, the local state militia compa-
ny, issued thirteen warrants for men,
bers of the company who failed to
show mp for inspection last night.
The warrants were taken to Sheriff
Lee Potter who refused to serve them,
il 10 said. because he did not feel that
it was the proper thing to do and that
it might cause him and his bondsmen
trouble II he arrested the men. Be
cause of his refussl to serve the war
rants mandamus proceeding may be
taken out against him today.
Officers Of the Wheeler Guards this
morning telephoned Adiutant General
Percy Haley, at Frankfort, apprising
him OF the matter. and are awaiting
for orders. II the Frankfort officers

stituted, it will be done.
There We're q total Of II militiamen
absent from inspection last night aud
Major Bsssett this morning issued
warrants against each member who
was not at the armory last night.
All this morning efforts were made
TO have the papers served on the boys,
but no one would do it, Sheriff Pot
ter's attorneys advised him that he did
not have to, and the police officers and
constables in turn declined.
Captain James Caldwell talked of
instituting a mandamus suit against
the officers to test tine question and AS
certain whose duty IL is to serve such
papers but decided finaIly to drop tho
matter, and have his men arrested by
. squad.
He accordingly caught several of
the thirteen or more alleged to have
failed TO attend drill, and this after
noon q court martial is being held at
the city hall. with the following on
trial:
Harry Berry. Sydney Smith, Joe
Helsley. +. NJ. Campbell and Sher-
man Pollock. They are charged with
failing to attend drill and the evidence
will be heard and forwarded to the
governor, who will fix the punishment
il he approves the findings.

The mayor is quoted as giving as an
excuse for failing to comply with the
requests of the insurance under
writers, the fact that 1.-THE city has no
money" with which TO make the ex-
tensions and changes. This may be
true, but there is no excuse for the
city's not having the money. The tax
rate will be sl.65 this year and it can
be sl.s5. The people do not desire a
high tax rate, for there is never much
evidence of what goes with the money.
But they do want enough money to run
the city right. Mayor Yeiser and his
crowd had an s1s5 tax rate one year,
and if they really wanted to make any
improvements to the fire department
now they would have made the tax
rate larger than s165.

WAR MAY END SOON.

From late reports the Russian.J Jap
snese war may not last as long as pre-
dicted. Japan, by her sudden activi-
ty, has had the best of it, and it is in
timated in what is presumably an in
spired dispatch, that overtures for
peace would not be obnoxius to her
provided Russia would guarantee the
protection to her vital interests japan
desires in certain quarters.
This seems reasonable enough. II
would givel Japan all she is fighting
for, and all she PROBABLY would get in
any event, and would enable her to
gracefully retire from the brief war
with all the honors she has won. If
the war should continue there are nc
reasonable grounds for believing the
intrepid Japs would ultimately escape
defeat at the hands OF her powerful ri
val, much as the civilized world
Wouiu w btt husSlh llOh tl.
Hence If Russia takes her cue, it will
not be surprising if negotiations for a
cessation of hostilities are soon set on
foot.
This would apparently be best for
all concerned and for some not con-
cerned. 1t would save bloodshed and
the enormous expense of carrying on
modern warfare for the principals, and
would benefit the United States by the
possible removal Of the antipathy now
shown towards Russia aud enable us to
hold her friendship, which is highly
priced in the commercial world. The
effects of the hostility displayed by
the press and people of the United
States towards Russia in the conflict
are already being felt in trade chan
nels, and Japan's appreciation of the
prevailing sentiment for her in this
country would hardly recompense the
of the United States for
t he enormous loss of Russia's trade

The summary manner in which the
friendly bond suit was hustled out Of
Judge Reeds court yesterday shows
what farce the whole proceeding is.
No suit was necessary, and if the city
is called on TO pay for bringing the
suit, which it probably will be, the
boards should refuse to allow any fee
for il. The city has no right to pay q
lawyer to sue the city. 1t is under
stood that the suit was brought con.
trsry to the advice of the city solicit
tor. If We are to pay city solicitor
why not take his advice.

LIEUTENANT HARLAN BACK.

Lieutenant Frank Harlan returned
this morning from Joppa, after an ex-
perience he does not care to repeat.
He went to Joppa day before yester-
day to meet daughter who was COM

boat that night. He intended to come
back on the Fowler last night, but she
made no trip yesterday on account OF
the wind, and he was forced to drive
to Metropolis late yesterday and take
the first boat to the city, which came
up this morning.

1t is not plain what Senator Shoots
religion has to do with his holding q
seat in congress. And if his religion
has nothing to do with it why should
it form the basis of congressional in

ion would prevent mans being 10y al
to his government or not, Senator
Smoot seems to be as loyal as any of
the rest, and if any part of the Nor

Above the pier-close to it and to-

cluster Of tugs. those curious, power
full. persistent little steam craft that
ply back and forth and up and down.
saucily and busily important, their
rows Of tenders trailing in the water.
their black smoke bannering out be-
