VAN REUTH SUSPENDED
TO BE OURT-MARTIALED BY
SPANISH WAR VETS.

A largely attended meeting of the De-
partment of the District of Columbia.
United Spanish War Veterans, was held
last night at headquarters. 719 9Th street
northwest and several matters Of impor-
lance were considered. Department Com
mander s. Clifford Cox described the ar
engagements that are being made for the
participation Of body Of 800 or more
uniformed Spanish War Veterans in the
Inauguration parade. It was also stated
that the soldiers Of the war with Spain will
probably be headed by Commander in Chief
William E. English Of Indianapolis, Ind,
and his staff.
Attention was called to recent transac-
tons of Capt. Adolph Van Reuth. late COM
mander of Henry w. Lawton Camp, United
Spanish War Veterans. who, 1t was stated.
had taken action to the detrfment and
against the discipline and dignity of the
United Veterans by forming a so-calIed in
dependent body of Spanish war veterans to
participate IN the inaugural parade. This.
1t was said, was prejudicial to the regular
organization of which Captain Van Reuth
Is member.
1t was also charged by certain members
of the District department that Capt. Van
Reuth had used their names In connection
with the club he has formed without their
consent. Upon these and other statements
the meeting voted to suspend Capt. Van
Reuth. and the department judge advocate,
John Lewis Smith, was instructed to pro-
coed against the offending member by
court-martial. first securing direct evi-
dence upon which to formulate charges.
Notified Of Suspension.
Department Commander Cox thereupon
notified Capt. Van Reuth that he was sus-
pended from the organization pending the
formation of a general court-martial be-
fore which he can make his defense.
The court-martial proceedings in the case
of Capt. Van Reuth will be the second
instituted since the formation OF the Dis
trict department. The first court was held
in the case Of the commander of the Young
Command Of Colored Veterans, who was
charged with disobeying the orders Of the
who assigned Young Command to a place
In a public parade which the commander
declined to accept, and withdrew his men
from the line. He was acquitted, and as q
result Of the matter his command was
transferred from the District corps to the
corps Of Virginia.
1t is understood that steps are being
taken to secure for the Spanish War Vet
Grams a position in line as part of the
guard Of honor which will escort President
Roosevelt to the Capitol in the forenoon Of
March 4.
The statement was made that the Dis
trict department has been increased by the
addition Of fifty new members since the
installation of the present department OIL

Capt. Adolph Van Reuth, when seen this
afternoon and asked about his suspension
from the United Spanish War Veterans
pending the institution Of court-martial
proceedings against him. said the club OF
Spanish war soldiers he has formed Is not
antagonistic to the regular organization,

THE STATEHOOD BILL
EXPECTED TO PASS BY A LARGE
MAJORITY.
Foraker's Amendment May Pass, but
the Measure as Reported by Com
mittee Likely to Go Through.

Friends of the statehood bill express con-
fdence that when vote is taken next Tues
day there will be a very large majority In
favor of the measure as 1t was reported
from the committee on territories by Sen
ator Beveridge.
The bill as reported provides for two
states. Oklahoma and Indian territory being
combined and New Mexico and Arizona to
form second state. Efforts for an addi-
tonal state of New Mexico are regarded
now as quite hopeless.
Opponents of the statehood measure I'm the
form in which 1t had been proposed by the
committee on territories very rapidly came
TO a realization of the situation when word
was passed around a few days ago that
Senator Beveridge was himself now indiffer-
ent whether the democratic influences might
defeat this bill by holding out for more than
two states.
He merely expressed his confidence that
in the next Senate the passage of such a
measure would be the easiest thing In the
world, as the republican majority In the
Senate at that time would be increased by
thirteen republican senator's With such
a majority the ability of republicans to
frame and pass the measure just as they
desire II appeared apparent that Oppo-
nents very readily agreed to take their
chances in amending the bill in the pres
ent Senate.
Amendment With Best Chance.
There are large number of amendments
that will be voted next Tuesday. but
the one that now appears to have the best
chance of being adopted IS that offered by
Senator Foraker allowing the people of
New Mexico and of Arizona to vote sep
arately on the proposition as to whether the
people of these two territories are to be
admitted one state. 1t is understood
today that the advocates of the bill feel
confident that there are sufficient votes to
defeat this amendment of Senator For
axes but on the other hand, In the
shifting of opinion it Is regard quite
possible that such amendment may
get through by small majority.
The change of opinion which many
senators have experienced since this bill
has been before the Senate. being at first
opposed to the bill favored by the COM
mittee. while now they are more than
ready to vote for Ii, is accounted for to a
large extent by the fact OF the enormous
pressure that has been brought to bear
on the Senate by both democrats and re-
pubicans in favor of the admission of
two states during the present session of
Congress. 1t is understood that there are
now some democrats who want to vote
for the bill, and it would not surprise the
managers if several such votes are cast
in favor of the measure as reported by
the committee. At any rate. the utmost
confidence exists both on the part of Sem
ator Beveridge and other senators in the
passage of the bill with Il large majority

noe OWEN TEACHES PTNOCLE
In a Humble way IN Young Woman on
the DeMt sChlann.

Joseph Combs, public accountant who
returned on Thursday aboard the Hamburg
American liner Deutschland from bust
ness trip abroad, played few card games
for amusement in the smoking room of
the liner. A runor got around yesterday
that he fell afoul of two Western crooks
who Won 500 from him at poker and
that he discovered that they were not
square when one of them flashed hand
of three aces and two jacks against his pair
of kings and three jacks.
Mr. Combs said last night that there was
not 500 in the poker room at any time on
the trip and that any gentleman who had
sprung hand against his own like the one
created by the rumor would have got into
trouble.
Doc Owen. who declared several months
ago that he had reformed, was on the
Deutschland under the name of Ollen. and
he was as proper as prohibitionst at
temperance meeting. The top notch of
his dissipation was to show young woman
how to play pinocle, and she, not know
ing him, did him the honor of suspecting
that he knew little more about the game
than she did herself
Mr.. Combs says there were two profess
sional gamblers from Chicago aboard, but
that everybody was "onto" them and they
did not get chance to swindle anybody

INDIANAPOLIS. May 2o,-vice-President
Fairbanks to-day threw aside his dignity and
appeared in the yard of his North Meridian
street home equipped with a brand new
saw. A photographer accompanied him
and few minutes later the Vice-President
was seen vigorously attacking a newly
felled tree. while the photographer trained
his camera on Mr., Fairbanks as he bent
over his work.
The sun was warm, but the Vice-Presi-
dent held steadily to his work until half a
dozen negatives had been made. Then he
shouldered his saw and retired. Imme-
diately a rumor arose that Fairbanks had
determined to gather INTO himself all the
credit possible for entering actively into a
strenuous life.
1t was said that the photographer had
been summoned that pictures might be
taken which later could be supplied to the
newspapers and the ma gaines of the coun-
try. The Vioe-President, however, denied
this, and declared that saving wood is not
a new recreation for him. The photogra-
pher tonight was busly engaged in making
numerous prints of the negatives.

HIGHLAND FALLS, n. V. May 2o.An ex
animation into the assignment CT A. E.,
Wilcox Co., bankers of New York city
with branch hank in Highland Falls, has
been held here before Magistrate Nelson
Several of the hanks depOsitors we're cx.
amincd and it was found that Bernard Rose
and Louis Bartenell had made deposits in
the local hank late in the afternoon of the
day upon which Wilcox assigned,
1t was desired to find out If the company
could he charged with fraud in receiving
money on deposit after it had made an
assignment. The Law makes such an act
felony punishable by a term Of imprison-
pent of not less than one or more than five
years or fine Of from $500 to 81 600 or both
when the deposit amounts to $25 or over.
The inquiry resulted in the filing OF com.
plant by James W Jevens and Rose
and warrant for Wilcox has been issued
by Magistrate Nelson and placed in the
hands of detectives of New York city for
service. Deputy Sheriff Wood Of Cornwall
delivered the warrant in New York last
night. When arrested Wilcox will be
brought to Highland Falls for arrangement.
He is also wanted at Cornwall. where a
national bank of which Wilcox was presi-
dent, has closed.
A. C. Wilcox said last night at his home
in New Rochelle that he had not heard OF
any proceedings against him. He was in
this city yesterday and called at his old
Office. He didn't see the receiver but he
saw the receivers clerk.
Mr. Wilcox said he had never borrowed
$ll 900 from the Cornwall Bank. but that
he had sold to the bank notes valued at
that much that he had received from his
customers. He said he indorsed the notes
and had simply had them discounted. He
said the notes were good and that it was a
legitimate transa ction.
Ever since the receiver has been ap-
pointed everything has been taken out Of
his hands. but Mr. Wilcox said that if the
properties were VIII managed all the
debts would he paid and there would he
something left for him.
