INCREASE IN CoURTs-MARTIAL
Higher Rewards Lead to the Capture
of More Deserters

The report of Gen. George r. Davis fudge
advocate general of the United States army.
to the Secretary of War shows that of the
forty-eight commissioned officers tried dur
ing the past year by general court martial
thrty-fve were convicted and thirteen ae-
quilted. Three cadets were convicted and
1893 enlisted men were convicted, while RIA
were acquitted. The total number of trials
before general court-martial was 4.soo. an
increase of 551 cases over the previous wear
This increase, Gen. Davis says IS mainly
due to the fact that a large number of de-
serters have been apprehended and brought
to trial. the number of convictions for de-
sertion being 1,4T6 this year. an increase of
440 over the preceding year. This increase
is due to the increase of the reward paid to
civil officers for the apprehension Of MILL
tary deserters, inducing greater vigilance on
their part.
The number of men sentenced to dishonor-
able discharge was 2,529
Sixteen officers were dismissed by SEN
dismissal were committed, to forfeiture of
pay in one case and to loss of rank In three
cases,
Gen. Davis says that many cases are re-
ferred to the inferior courts for trial which
could be better disposed of by resort to
the disciplinary measures which are well
within the authority and Jurisdiction OF post
and company commanders. It is his belief
that the adoption of such measures would
materially reduce the number OF court-mar-
tial trials without impairing the standards
of discipline which have always been MAIN
tanned in the military SERVES.

No Change in Policy Regarding
Fourth-Class Postmasters.

Inquiries at the Post Office Department
respecting publications to the effect that
there had recently been changes in the
policy governing the appointment Of post
masters under respective classes were met
with the statement that the reports were
erroneous.
Postmaster General Cortelyou when APP
preached on the subject said: The policy
regarding fourth-class offices was an
nounced in April last, namely, that incum-
bents will be retained during satisfactory
service.
Fourth-class postmasters are commits
stoned to hold Office during the pleasure
Of the Postmaster General.
In the matter of presidential post offices
the Postmaster General said: THE case is
somewhat different, as these appointments
are made for fixed terms. In that class of
offices each case requiring action Is con-
sidered and settled on the basis of what
is deemed for the best interests of the
service"
Replying to further interrogatories on
the general policy question and the posi-
bility of changes. the Postmaster General
added that no changes In the policy out
lined are contemplated.

'DRYDEN's INSURANCE BILL.
Ohio Policy Holders Suggest It Be
Submitted to People.

An answer to the published letter of SEN
ator John f. Dryden was made public IN
Cincinnati yesterday by the officers of the
Ohio Policy Holders Association. 1t says,
in part:
The object which you seem to have In
view in your questions Is to present as
many names as possible in favor of a
change from the mild supervision of the
states, in order that insurance companies
may escape the burden of state taxation.
LAS we understand it, you not asking
for any increase in the severity of the reg
ulation and control of the insurance bust
ness. The policy holders are asking or
will ask for such regulation and control as
will, as far as possible, protect them; for
If they are protected the insurance COM
panies are protected. To this end the Ohio
Policy Holders Association favors such
control and regulation will limit the
loading of premium charges.
The excessive and exorbitant charges
made for all classes of life insurance lead
to such phenomenal profits to stock COM
panies and to such enormous Accommodations
by mutual companies that In themselves
they are temptations to men to do wrong.
so, II Congress has the power 10 regulate
and control. and will regulate and control
life insurance business because il is inter-
state commerce, it will also have the power
10 limit the rates charged, just as President
Roosevelt asks Congress to regulate the
charges on interstate commerce on railways.
and 1t will be far easier to do justice to the
insurance companies In this regard
ms association will read with interest
the Dill which you say you will introduce
In the next session of Congress Would you
be willing to submit that proposed meas
ure TO us prior to its introduction? You
say 1t Is matter vitality affecting the well
fare of the American people, and so It Is.
and therefore you should be willing to SUBJ
init IL to the American people for their con-
sideration If you really desire a comnre
hensive expression of qualified public opin
Ion. We have over five thousand members
n Ohio, and we will submit your proposed
bill to each one of them If you will give
us the opportunity"

DEATH RESULTS
FROM LOCKJAW
Little Noel Gwynn, Who
Contracted Tetanus After
Being Vaccinated, Dies
DOCTOR IS EXONERATED
Mother Holds That Ply
sician Who Performed OPP
GRAFTON Is Not to Blame

Noel Gwynn,. the three-year- old boy
vaccinated. died at the Children's Hos
pital yesterday, after a week of ter
rible suffering
Though the child's mother is frantic
in her grief, she does not hold the
doctor who vaccinated the boy to
blame. He is exonerated entirely by
brother physicians.
Little Noel was vaccinated on July
2S by DR.. George w. Birdsau. For the
first few days the baby only suffered
the usual discomforts that follow the
operation. He continued to suffer from
1t so long that his mother became
alarmed and sent for DIR. Birdsall The
physician examined the child, but found
no alarming symptoms.
For week the little fellow had q
bad arm, but his mother was rsas-
sured by the doctors opinion On the
goth he became very Ill and Dr. w. B.
Levitt and DR.. George Ebright were
called in. They found that the child
was suffering from tetanus, or lock-
jaw as it is commonly known. He was
taken to the Children's Hospital, where
he clung to life for over a week, suf-
fering intense agony. He grew weak
er each day and yesterday morning
passed away.
A strange phase of the case is that
tetanus usually appears within two
weeks after wound has been inflicted.
In the case of Baby Gwynn no symp-
toms were observed until nearly a
month after the vaccination. This
would tend to show that the disease
was not the direct result Of vaccina-
ton. 1t is thought that the child,
in playing, must have knocked the
bandage from his arm and that Soma
foreign substance entered the wound,
injecting It
The funeral services over the unfor-
tunate baby will be held to-day at the
home of his grandmother, 2309 Cali
fornia street. The remains will be Gre
mated

When he stepped from the cage and
faced the bench, John Smith tossed his

spinning, to the unconcealed admiration
Of the chair-warmers and the unhidden
horror of Bailiff Mahoney, who no sooner
recovered his eQuanimity than he sup
pressed the unseemly performance.
Mr.. Smith was squat of figure and hir-
sutely opulent. There was no interstice
to show where his whiskers began and
his cranial hair ended, and from the
bushy mass cleaned the crimson tip of a
snub nose-the only facial cuticle visible.
He was shirtless. but the absence of
linen was partly concealed by a tattered
frock coat. much too long and loose for
him, which was buttoned from waist to
collar. His shoes were on a par Of din
giness with the remainder of his garb.
AS codefendant with Mr.. Smith there
was before Judge Mogan his antithesis
physically, one William Holman. He
stood at least six feet two inches Of lank-
mess, smooth of face and utterly bald
headed. and his sartorial dilapidation was
even more grotesque than that of his COM
panion. He boasted a shirt that once
upon time of gaudy pattern, but
vest he had none, and his sack coat had
evidently been fashioned for Juvenile
wear, while pair of brown overalls eX-
tended no lower than his leg calves, thus
exposing nude and knuckled ankles, the
remainder Of his neither limbs being en-
cased in aged, low-cut slippers.
Patrolman Henneberry testified that he
arrested Messrs. Smith and Holman at
Drumm and Oregon streets, where they
lodged in a sidetracked boxcar and
shamed the vicinage by their appearance
and conduct.
