HUTTON FIGHTS
FOR HIS PLACE
Demurs to Complaint Filed
by Collins, Who Seeks
His Removal From Office
LAWLOR TO DECIDE CASE
Mayor Schmitz Will Be
Mandamused to Remove
the Police Commissioner

The accusation against Police Com
missioner H. w. Hutton, special chief
Of police for 1929 Dupont street" for
his removal from office for illegally
causing the arrest of Mary Duran and
for which he was adjudged guilty Of
contempt of court by Judge Cook in
violating the Injunction restraining
the police from interfering with the
restaurant business of Jean Pom, came
up before Judge Lawlor yesterday. At
the previous calling of the case Gavin
McNab, on behalf of Hutton, had filed
a demurrer to the accusation and the
Judge ordered that briefs be submit
ted by both sides on the points raised.
Arguments of counsel were heard
yesterday and Attorney George d.
Collins asked for immediate judgment,
as Hutton in his brief had practically
admitted the facts. The Judge init
mated that he would render his de-
cision on Thursday. .
McNab contends that under section
772 of the Penal Code the accusation
should have been made by the District
Attorney and not by private citizen.
He further contends that the facts
stated in the accusation did not show
neglect of duty on the part of Hutton,
who might have done something in
excess of his duty as a Police Com
at all he had merely overstepped his
bounds and nothing else.
Collins answers the first point by al
leging that the Supreme Court has de-
cided that it is not necessary to carry
on the proceedings by the District At
torney, but by private citizen, and
that the law on the subject has been
declared constitutional. On the second
point Collins argues that the highest
duty of public official is to main
tain the rights and liberties of the
people and he can only perform those
duties which the law imposes upon
him. If, as admitted, Hutton over
stepped the bounds as a Police Com
missioner he neglected his duty and
came within the provisions of section
772 Of the Code.
Attorney Collins says he will file a
mandamus in day or two to- compe,
the Mayor to declare Hutton's Office
vacant and to appoint his successor.
He says he has learned that no appeal
will be taken to the Supreme Court
against Judge Cooks decision finding
Hutton guilty of contempt, as it is
admitted to be invulnerable and the
Mayor has therefore no ground for
delay in giving effect to the section of
the charter declaring the office va
cant.

BETTER MORALS
IN THE ARMY
Large Decrease in Number
Of Trials by Court-Martial
During the Past Year
TWENTY PER CENT LESS
Judge Advocates in Their
Reports Argue for the
Restoration of Canteen

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1o.-The annual
report of General George b. Davis,
judge advocate general, to the Secre-
tsry Of War shows the total number Of
trials by general court-martial during
the year to have been 424s, being 1925
less than in the preceding year.
The marked diminunition in the
number of trials by general court-mar-
tial, which amounts to nearly twenty
per cent of the number Of cases tried
In the year ended June 80, 1903, says
the Judge advocate general, lis very
gratifying, as indicating that the con-
ditions of the military service are now
such as to require less frequent re-
sorts to court-martial procedure in or
der to maintain discipline in the mill
tary establishment
1t also is noted that only two persons
were tried by military commission, sew
enty less than in the preceding year.
Commenting on this, the general says:
The large decrease in trials by mil
ttary commission was due to the fact
that peace existed during the entire
year in the Philippine Islands, except
in certain portions inhabited by the
Moro tribes
Thirty commissioned officers were
convicted by general court-martial the
sentence being disapproved in two
cases, and four were acquitted. OF the
1897 enlisted men convicted, sentences
were disapproved in 46 cases. The num-
Der of enlisted men acquitted after
trial was S11. Nine officers were dis
missed by sentence and in four cases
the sentences of dismissal were COM
muted to loss of numbers. The number
of men sentenced to dishonorable dis
charge was 2056.
Appended to the report are extracts
from the reports of judge advocates
of departments. The following is quot
ed from the report Of Lieutenant Col
onel Dunn, judge advocate, Depart
ment of Colorado:
These desertions in large part are
attributed to the malign influence OF
saloons and brothels situated near the
reservations, seducing enlisted men
from the paths of decency. This is
only another of the many arguments in
favor of restoring to the army the can
teen, which provides places of amuse-
ment and social intercourse, where men
could get light refreshments, under re-
straining, decent and orderly influ-
ence"
Captain Roberts, acting judge advo-
cate, Department of Texas, says:
With the beginning of the work on
the addition to the post of Fort Sam
houston IL Is observer IHdI IHe pIlCeS
of business property Immediately In
the rear of the new reservation have
materially advanced and that arrange
ments are already being made for the
construction of the usual assortment
of saloons, that the virtual abolition of
the canteen features of the post ex-
change has made a universal accom-
paniment of every military post. /
think it is beyond question that per-
mission to sell beer in the post ex-
change would drive out of business at
least two-thirds of the low resorts in
the vicinity Of posts"

CLUBMAN DIES
By OWN HAND
Frank de Puyster Hall Puts
Bullet in His Body in His
Apartments in New York
INVOLVED IN SUITS
Accused Men of Slander
Who Had Charged Him
With Disgraceful Practices

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Frank de
Puyster Hall, a member Of several
prominent clubs, to-day shot and killed
himself A suit brought by him against
two other clubmen, alleging slander
and demanding 100000 damages, was
to have come UP in court to-day.
knowledge of the institution Of the
slander suits only became public dur
ing the past week, although the first
suits were begun last May. These were
against Alfred H. Bond, president of
the Calumet Club, and George H. Cor
mack, secretary Of the New York
Yacht Club.
Hall alleged that both men, In con-
versation with others, had accused him
of disgraceful practices while he was
a member of the Calumet Club. The
answer filed was to the effect that
the statements made were true and the
conversation privileged. Hall denied
the truth Of the charges, and on last
Wednesday from Supreme Justice
Levintritt secured an order requiring
Bond to give a bill of particulars. On
the settling of this motion all the
papers were filed in the Supreme Court
and knowledge of the suits became
public.
Frank de Puyster Hall was men,
Der Of an old New York family and
until recently was a member of the
firm of f. de Puyster Hall & Co., wine
importers. His resignation as a MEM
ber Of the Calumet Club was requested
on July 25, 1903, and was Immediately
given. Hall was also a member of the
ST. Anthony Club, the New York Yacht
Club and the Trinity Alumni. In all
his suits Hall alleged that the state
ments made were false and maliciously
made, that because of these statements
he was obliged to resign the presidency
Of F. de Puyster Hall & Co., that
his business and social acquaintances
refused longer to transact business with
him or to associate with him and that
he had been obliged to abandon en-
tirely his occupation.
Hall was about so years old, was de-
voted to athletics, having a good ath-
letic record in college, where he was
member of the Delta Psi Fraternity.
Halls body, partly dressed, was
found by servants lying in a pool of
blood on the floor in his bachelor apart
ments. A revolver was found under
meath the body. On a table among ar
ticles of clothing and jewelry was
package of letters. Some of the let
ters had been opened, while others were
still sealed. Hall had been dead only
a short time.
Another suit similar to those against
Bond and Cormack was brought
against Ernest Staples, and this case
came UP before Judge Palmirie to-day.
The attorneys for both sides were
technically ready to go on with the
case, but having heard rumors of Halls
suicide, the defendants attorneys filed
a motion for a new answer to the COM
plant Justice Palmirie granted the
motion, thus temporarily disposing Of
the case

willing that this should be done.
The treaty will contain, however.
provisions regarded as much needed
and earnestly sought for by the Chi
nese Government for many years,
looking to a more considerate, liberal
and kindly treatment of the higher
class of Chinese seeking to enter our
