MILITARY COURTS
TO S|FT SCANDAL.
Taggart Case Will Be
Thrashed Over Again.
CAPTAIN AS COMPLAINANT
Is Expected - File Charges Against
Lieutenant Fortescue and Cen
eral Miner

The granting of divorce to Captain
Taggart by Judge Eason, at Wooster
ONO. yesterday, probably means that
the scandal Will be thrashed all over
aagin. the next time in the military
courts.
captain Taggart will be expected to
ME charges against Lieutenant Fortes-
cue and General Miner. who were named
as correspondents in the case. Should
captain Taggart fail to make formal
charges against these officers, It is likely
that the War Department will take cog
nizance OF that portion of the court s
opinion referring to Lieutenant Fcrtes-
cue and General Miner. and cause pro-
ceedings to be instituted through the
commanding officer of the Department
of the Lakes
Miners Charges Pending.
The charges which were filed some
time ago py General Miner against Cap
tam iassart are still pending. and 1t is
more than possible that Captain Tag
gart Will also be brought to trial on
them. notwithstanding the opinion of
Judge Eason that the allegations of
drunkenness on the part of the captain
had not been sustained by the evidence.
During the trial of the case at woos-
ter q nigh official OF the War Depart
ment stated that nothing would be done
IN the matter until the verdict of the
court should be rendered. and future ac-
ton would depend on the character of
the verdict. Before any steps are talk
en- now, certified copy of Judge Eas-
on's opinion will be requested by the
War Department.
For Judge Advocate.
IL Will be referred to the Judge Advo-
cate General for review and recommen-
dations In the premises. in case Captain
Iaggart does not in the meantime take
the initiative and file charges against
the two officers named

Judge Eason bitterly arraigned Lieu

THE TEXAN RANGER.
First Fight With Indians In Which F RevoIverS Were Used.

John Coffee Hays was reared on farm in Wilson county, Tenn, being born there in 1917. At the age of eighteen he migra- ted to Texas, where, during the struggle of that Mexican pro- vlnce for independence, he serv- ed with distinction in the mili- tary campaign conducted by General Sam Houston, being mo- ted for bravery and strategy. Aftes' ! Termination of that confictH8yes was placed in com mand of the small regular force that was shortly afterward or ganized and became known to fame as the Texan rangers. Many were the desperate fights in which he was engaged with the fierce Comanches and border Indians, and innumerable were the perils which he encountered. He was the first to supply an armed force with Colts revolv- CTS for use in battle.
 The Indians mode of warfare in those early days was to draw their enemy's fire and then sweep down npon them like whirl- wind, plying their bows and us- ing their spears with deadly effect. So cautious were they in this respect that they soon distinguished the double bar reled gun when it was brought into use and only approached when they were sure that such weapons had been emitted. On the first occasion when Hays and his rangers, armed with re- volvers, met a band on the war path they allowed their fire to be literally drawn, and then the Indians charged with exultant cries, but when the revolver was brought into play at close quar- ters the panic that insued was absolute and the destruction of the Indians complete. Hays was colonel of the First Texan regiment, the nucleus of which was formed of veteran rangers.

STREET CLEANING CAMPAIGN
The Yuma WOman'S Club Heard
 From.
The City Fathers Invoked.

A special committee composed oi Mesdames Pugh, Baker and Robertson, representing the civic department oi the Yuma Woman's Club, appeared before the Town Council at it's regular monthly meeting last Monday night, and asked for a hearing, which was graciously and courteously accorded by his honor, Mayor Shanssey, and the aldermanic body.
 Mrs. Pugh as chairman and spokes- man of the committee states the object of the civic department of the club to be for the present-civic improvement along the lines of street cleaning, yard cleaning, and trash removing-not as a spasmodic effort to clean up the town, but as regular and persistent and or ganized campaign for civic cleanliness. A general plan of procedure was out lined and suggested, and the council was asked to cooperate with the Woman's Club in making the move ment popular and successful.
 Some of the councilmen, on the ap- pearance of the club women on the scene, looked as if they didn't know exactly what the ladies had up their sleeves to hand out to them, and looked immensely relieved when they were asked-not for an appropriation, nor for any sweeping reform measures but only to have the visible and nov able dirt cleared out and kept out. A committee of four from the council composed of city attorney F. L. In graham, councilman l.. c. Stahl H. H. Donkersley, P. Munson was appointed to meet the civic committee of the Woman's Club to draft ordinances covering the wishes of the ladies, and the pressing needs of the town. As the slogan of the civic department of the Woman's Club, this year is "clean up, clean out, keep clean. Make Yuma beautiful" it is expected that some thing vii. be doing ere long for the civic betterment of the town. This is move in the right direction. Nothing could be more opportune. The town ought to be cleaned up thoroughly-no half way measures about it-and the chances are that it will be done.
 Let everybody help,-by word and work. Let there be no laggards nor obstructionists. It will cost consider able work and some money; but what is a little money to a town that can support a merry-go-round for solid month at S2O0 per night?

The Square Tile Homestead
 Scheme.

Congressman Brooks scheme to rob the government of it's land by increasing the home stead bill to GAO acres is a grab pure and simple m the interest of the rich land owners of the west, and the bill should be killed so dead that neither it nor Brooks will ever be heard of a gain. Any congressman who has no better sense than to ere ate a law by which the public domain is to be sold in quanti- ties four times greater than now should be deported from the state in disgrace for such work. The land law should be cut down to 80 acres instead of 160 as at present. The day is not far dis tant when 80 acres. or even 40 acres, will be considered a big farm by the great masses of the American people.-Opinion, Pu- eblo, Colo, Oct. 14.

JOINT STATEHOOD.
President in His Message Recom. comments Admission of Ari- zona and New Mexico
 as One State.

Washington, D. c. Dec. 5.-In hi: message to congress today President Roosevelt makes the following state hood recommendation:
 'T recommend that Indian territory and Oklahoma be admitted as one state and that New Mexico and Arizona be admitted as one state. There is nc obligation upon us to treat territorial subdivisions, which are matters of con- venience only, as binding us on the question of admission to statehood.
 Nothing has taken up more time in the congress during the past few years than the question of the state hood to be granted to the four terri tories above mentioned, and after care ful consideration of all that has been question. I recommend that they be immediately admitted as two states. There is no justification for further delay; and the advisability of makiug the four territories into two states has been clearly established.
 "In some of the territories the legis- lative assemblies issue licenses for gambling. The congress should by laws forbid this practice, the harm ful results of which are obvious at a glance.

"Friend Theodore"

Ten senators called on the president the other day to talk earnestly about matter of no less importance than an office. They approached the subject with great seriousness and were very much surprised to finb Mir. Roosevelt unable 10 concentrate his thoughts on anything but Bill Sewall, his old Main guide.
 After various unsuccessful at tempts to interest the president in the weighty matter of the office, one of the senators said, "Mr. President, you seem very much interested in this guide. e'
 "Yes, senator, l am. Bill is an interesting man and a real friend. He is the only man in the United States who in writing to the president about an office or anything else addresses him as Friend Theodore. '''

African ivory is everywhere esteemed for it's superiority in color and hardness to the Indian variety. The large herds of ele- plants inhabiting the forests of the Congo state provide at pres ent an enormous supply; but the government wisely takes into account the possibility of it's ex- haustion and has prohibited the shooting of. elephants.
