COMPANY UNFIT
TO BEAR ARMS
COURT OF INQUIRY ADVISES
THE DIsBANDMENT OF THE HUNTS
WILLIE COMMAND.

Company f, Which Allowed the Mob
Him, Will BE Mustered Out of the
Alabama Service Oct. 14-Wherein
the Court Finds That the Conn
pany Was Incompetent and I'm
prepared.
Montgomery, Ala. Sept. 26.-Gov.
Cunningham to-day received the re-
port of the military court of inquiry,
appointed to investigate the conduct of
Company f, Alabama National Guard,
which was overpowered by the mob at
Huntsville that lynched Horace Ma
pies, a negro.
The report, which is signed by Col
r. S. Frazer, Capt. E. D. Smith and
Capt. w. F. Walden, recommends that
Company F be mustered out for ineffi-
cheney. and that in the future all Off
GERS be required to pass an examina-
tion on the state military law before
receiving commissions.
Oct. IA was the date fixed for the
mastering out of the command.
The court found that Capt. R. l..
Hay had no definite plan of action,
and that most of the men had no load
in their guns, though plenty of ammu-
milton was to be had: also that one
sentinel was overpowered and badly
hurt by the mob.
1t was also found that members of
the military company were cursed and
assaulted by the mob after fire was
set to the Jail, and that they lost their
military identity in the crowd.
1t was further found that the attack
on the Jail found the military sitting
around on the steps and curbstones
eating supper; also that on the night
of the mob there was an entire lack
of concerted effort or plans for the
protection of the Jail or prisoner.
''That the combined short comings
of the military allowed a life to be
taken unlawfully by mob nder cir
cumstances which justify US in con-
Guiding that the same could have been
prevented, thereby rejecting serious
discredit upon the military called into
service"

Expressed in America.


Expressed in America,
Washington, Sept. 26.-President
Roosevelt is in receipt of letter from
Gen. Luke E. Wright. Governor of
the Philippines. in which the Governor
discusses frankly some of the condi-
tlons which he encounters in directing
the government of the islands. Under
date of Aug. Is, Gen. Wright wrote
in sart:
The effect of the continued discus

oliilcult than it otherwise would be.
me less a man is equipped with in
lelllgence and those qualities which
make for good citizenship the more
easily can he be persuaded that he is
the possessor of all those qualities.
rms people have their full share of
ambition and vanity, and they also
nave their full share of reckless, half
formed characters. who are ready for
intrigue in any direction which prom
lses them profit or power. 1t is this
class which has largely given force
and direction to the Aglipayan move
Hlent ana mas recruited its ranks from
the ignorant and dangerous elements.
In this general connection l may
say to you as a matter of information
that the agitation in the United States
for Filipino independence and the
spoken and written utterances of
prominent men there who are urging

in the native newspapers and are being
made the text for editorials insisting
that the Filipino people are now ready
to become an Independent nation. The
effect of all this is distinctly injurious.
Its tendency is to restore influence of
the old insurrecto leaders and make
them active in preaching the old
propaganda. This, in turn, has the
effect of demoralizing and weakening
the more conservative and thoughtful
Filipinos, who fear that if they should
speak out as they really think, they
would be considered the enemies of
their people and lose their prestige
with them. Those of the more prom
inent and best educated and who ma
turally have their ambitions, are in
clined to join in the general cry"

HOW BRITISH ACCOUNT
FOR TRAIN ACCIDENTS.
Greatly Interested in the Disasters
in the United states.

III VIC DN
London, Sept. 26.-The recent rail-
road accidents in the United States are
attracting no little comment in Eng
land. The Pail Mall Gazette says:
"They are far too common in Amer
lea, especially of late. The fact that
it is a large country with plenty Of
room for them to happen in is not
sufficient to explain them. Probably
the fundamental cause Is the hasty
and imperfect construction OF the lines
the makeshift arrangements for saw
ing time and the general rush Of stren-
uous national life.'

The white people Of Indian
Territory realize tie tremen-

comes with a population of TO-

no one has given the matter
careful thought or evolved a
plan to meet the difficulties and
dangers which are bound to
arise in the immediate future.

and a share in the tribal funds
in the United States treasury,
but through shiftlessness and
incompetency, thousands Of In
dams within a short time will
not have a place to lay their
heads nor possess the where
withal to feed and clothe them
selves.
This is no wild and causeless
fear. 1t is a conclusion reached
after a careful consideration Of
the facts which are happening
from day to day. The most ex-
perieneed and intelligent ofic-
ials in the territory have sound
ed the alarm and expressed
their gloomy apprehensions for
the future. Allotment and in
dividual ownership viii be dis
astrous to many and probably
a majority OF the Indians. With
an unrestricted power Of alien
alton, the lands, mines and for
ests will all become the prop
erty of the white men.
There is no question that
white men as owners and mas
ters can do the most toward
bringing about a rapid develop
ment Of the resources of Indian
Territory. But a material
growth and prosperity are not
the only things the territory
should strive for. Justice and
protection should be accorded
all conditions of men within its
boundaries.

It should be borne in mind
that a large number Of these
