MERCY IS SHOWN
IN FOOTE CASE
FORT SMELLING LIEUTENANT
NOT DISMISSED FROM ARMY.
Court Martial Found Him Guilty of
Mishandling Funds in the Philippines
and Voted for His Dismissal-Presi-
dent Commutes Sentence to a Loss Of
lis Numbers in Rank. f.

The announcement of the action of
the president in the case of Second
Lieutenant M. C.. Foote, who is sta
toned at Fort Smelling, has been re-
ceived with much interest by the Oftl-
GERS there.
Lieutenant Foote was tried by a gen
eral court martial at Fort Smelling sew
eral weeks ago on charges alleging en-
bezzlement of public moneys for which
he was accountable in the Philippines,
false official certificates to his superior
officers and failure to render the reports
and returns for public moneys and prop
erty which he should have rendered
while there.
According to the Washington. dis
patches, he was convicted by the gen
| eral court martial and was sentenced to
be dismissed from the army. The pres
ident, however, has been merciful in
Lieutenant Foote'S case, and, while ap-
proving the action Of the court, he has
committed this severe sentence to a loss
Of lis files.
Even the latter punishment is very
severe. Officers are all arranged on a
regular list according to rank and are
promoted in turn as their names come to
the top of this list. There are over 400
second lieutenants of infantry, and
Lieutenant Foote was only about thirty
from the top of the list. He woulo
therefore have been promoted very soor
to be a first lieutenant. By this reduc
ton his promotion will be deferred unit
115 l~ieutenants shall have been passed

A Successful Experiment.

The Nome Nugget states that the
reindeer on the Seward peninsula of
Alaska now number 10000. Of these
all but 1900 are natives Of the soil, the
1900 representing those which were i'm
ported a few years ago from Siberia in
order to establish a reindeer industry
for the benefit of the Eskimo.
The theory that domesticated rein
deer would prove a blessing to the ma
tives Of western Alaska has justified
the effort and the expense incurred.
The domesticated reindeer is a profit
able animal to own. He feeds himself
summer and winter. He furnishes to his
owner food, shelter, clothing and trans
%portation, and he does it with practi-
cally no help from his owner.
Commissioner Harris and District
Agent Sheldon Jackson have figured
out how Alaska can subsist millions of
these useful animals and, while their
figures may never be realized, the value
of the reindeer to Alaska has been dem.
onstrated. The reindeer should be
propagated not only for the benefit of
the Indians, but for.the benefit Of the
white settlers as well, who are now
coming to recognize the practical value

DIED ALONE IN SHOP
WEAVER, WHO HAD LEFT FAM
lily, SHOT HIMSELF, AND Lay
UNDISCOVERED TWO DAYS.

D%espcndent over his separation from
shot himself while alone in his little
shop at 1905 Main street NE, sometime
last Saturday. His decomposed body
was found by a friend last night.
Saturday those who passed the shop
noticed that it was not opened for
business as usual, but they supposed
the weave was taking a vacation and
nothing was thought of the matter. No
one had heard any shots and the suicide
was not discovered until last night,
when a man named Vaughan, who is an
old friend of Traber, called to see him.
Vaughan could not get into the front
door and going to a side window he saw
the dead body of his friend lying on the
bed. He at once summoned the coroner
and the body was taken to the morgue.
TRADER and his wife had not lived
happily for some time and a few weeks
ago he left home and was living in the
rear of his shop. Separation from the
family made him moody, but he was too
| proud to return and Friday he pur-
chased a pistol and told several of his
friends that he intended to end his
troubles. :
Long before this trouble with his
family, however, Traber had been seized
with a desire to commit suicide and he
often told his wife that it was all he
could do to pass over a bridge without
leaping into the river. His wife and
children are h~eartbroken over his death.
The funeral was held today at the
family home, 1713 Marshall street NE.

Federal Supervision.

The demand for federal supervision
Of insurance growing out of the Equit-
able scandal may cause the passage Of
a federal statute on the subject next
winter. The president has strongly
urged such action by congress, and an
insurance company president who is a
senator from New Jersey introduced
a bill near the close of the last session
providing for such supervision.
There are legal difficulties in the
way. It has never been affirmed that
an insurance policy is an article of
m subject to the powers of con-
gress over interstate traffic. The SUI
preme court has v directly passed
upon the question, but it has decided
that a lottery ticket was an article of
commerce.. If congress made a statute
defining an insurance policy as an ar.
ticle Of commerce, it would undoubt-
edly be gravely considered by the su-
preme court.
: But it is doubtful whether congress
can be brought to enact such a law at
the present time. The states have reg
ulated insurance.; for years they have
collected taxes and have put burdens
upon the insurance companies. They
would hardly give up all the "good':
politics in the regulation Of insurance
just to please public opinion. There
would be strong state opposition, which
would have it's effect on congress-. Sen
ators and representatives would be
chary of rushing into a reform which
would give them hard Shedding at home
Yet these objections should be over

ers.}' Congress should set up a centra
bureau to supervise and regulate insur
ance. The present system Of state reg
ulation. is cumbersome, expensive anC
often open to the objection Of graft
ing. Only two or three of the forty o,
more insurance departments are com
petent to examine an insurance com
pany anyway, but all have the powe.
to examine or blackmail the company
that does not want to be examined
by incompetents and b%usybodies. TIL,
whole bill Of duplicated supervision
eventually falls upon the policy hold
ers, as well as the bill Of taxes, which
in many states is exorbitant and un
reasonable.

At Lake Harriet Toniqht.

Music lovers will be given another
treat by Fanciulli at Lake Harriet this
evening. The program to be rendered is
well selected and is calculated to please
all classes. Massenet's "Phedre' will be
the big number, and everyone should get
to the pavilion early, as his number
opens the program. The Second Hunga-
rian Rhapsodie is also to be played. The
ever popular "Cavalleria Rusticana" in
termezzo will, no doubt, delight every
one. These three numbers should in
themselves be enough to draw the lovers
of good music to the lakeside.
There is also plenty of music in. the
lighter vein. Fanciul1 will give two Of
his own compositions this evening, a
gavotte, "Minnehaha," which he com
posed while director of the Marine band,
and a sketch, Little Japs,". one of the
latest Of his compositions. Sig. Nappa,
who was heard to such good advantage
last evening, will again deliver a cornet
solo this evening. Beside the fine pro-
gram given by Fanciulli's band every
evening, they give an afternoon. concert
each day, the programs Of which are said
to. be as well selected as those in the
evening. These concerts offer excellent
opportunities for ladies and children to
enjoy a pleasant afternoon. under the new
canopy at the pavilion and 'Iisten to the

SNATCHES A DIAMOND
AND MAKES ESCAPE

A well-dressed young man, thought
by the police to be an expert diamond
thief, snatched a diamond from the jew
elry counter in the New Store at 8
O'Clock last evening and after an ex-
citing chase escaped.
The young man appeared at the coun-
ter just at closing time and asked to
look at some solitaire rings. He looked
at several and suddenly the clerk ex-
claimed that one of them was missing.
Without explaining the would-be pur-
chaser dashed for the door, closely fol-
lowed by the clerk and several other
employees of the store.
The thief turned down Seventh and
finally distanced his pursuers and dis
appeared behind the office of the Gas
Light company.
The police were notified and have a
good description Of the man.

KILLED BY GAS TANK
EXPLOSION IN DRUG STORE BASE
MENT SKATERS BODY OF A
YOUNG CLERK.

W. L: Hughes, employed in the drug
store of A. B. Crowell, 1912 Hennepin
avenue, was almost instantly killed by
the explosion Of a steel tank highly
charged with carbonic acid gas, about
b o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The young man was but Is wears old
and was employed as a fountain clerk.
The explosion occurred while he was at
tachlng the gas cylinder to the soda
fountain and the boys lower limbs
were nearly torn off by the force of the
explosion: He was taken to the city
Just as was placed on the operating
table.
No one was with Hughes in the base
ment where the explosion occurred and
the cause and exact nature of the acci-
dent are yelled in mystery. 1t is
thought, however, that the cylinder
was too highly charged and that a flaw
tank was a new one and it will be ex-
amlned by an expert to see if there was
a flaw in the making.
Mr.. Crowel, the proprietor, was in the
store at the time of the accident and
rushed dow stairs to the injured boys
face, but was still conscious and made a
sign for them to hurry. He was car
ried upstairs, where DR.. Mary Towers,
who happened to be in the store, gave
temporary aid. While DR.. Towers was
working over him he became suncon-
scious and did not regain his senses.
Hughes came to Minneapolis from
Mankato, where his father is a con-
tractor and builder. The boy finished
his course in the Mankato high school
in June and came to the city to learn
the drug business. He boarded at A
Eleventh street N, lea the scene of his
death. The boys parents were notified
of his death last night and the remains
will be taken to Mankato.

THE R
LUCIAN SWIFT, J. 8. McLAN,
MANAGER. EDITOR.
La Toilette on Grand Juries.

Governor La Toilette of Wisconsin
believes in the grand jury. He attrib-
utes the u%ncovering of corruption in
Milwaukee to the fearlessness Of the
grand jury led by an able and incor-
ruptible prosecutor. He certainly seems
to have reason to praise the grand jury
i'm Milwaukee. It has reached a man
whom La Toilette has long wanted to
reach, but whom he could never bring
down by speech or by combination
against him. The grand jury has
brought an Indictment against Charles
Pfster, the stalwart boss of Milwaukee
who has fought the La Toilette reform
regime vigorously for years, and who,
with his wealth and control Of men,
has proved a stumbling block in the
path of the governor.
When La Toilette was the first time
a candidate for governor he had a deal
with two other candidates that the man
showing the greatest strength on the
first ballot should have the support of
the other two and they should control
the convention. This was the first bat-
tie against the stalwarts. La Toilette
had the greatest number of votes, but
an adjournment was taken without a
nomination, and in the night one of the
other candidates in the deal with La
Toilette was reached. In the morning
the majority was the other way, and
La Toilette was defeated. He went
back home to nurse his cause and also
to nurse a grudge against Pfster, whom
he believed to have been the man who
reached the candidate and broke the
combination. No doubt thinking Of this
case, Governor La Toilette yesterday
told his audience at the fair grounds
that he believed in grand j%uries.
The indictment against the Milwau-
kee' boss is one Of the most peculiar
ever brought. He is indicted for lar
ceny as bailee, hat is, for stealing
money intrusted to him. The company
whose money he is accused of stealing
a denies that he stole anything from
them, which, Of course, is true. The
object of the Indictment is to compel
somebody to tell what was done with
the money. There is a suspicion~that it
was used to corrupt the council of Mil
waukee in the voting Of a garbage.con
tract. The La Toilette faction would
rather that Pfster were obliged to ad'
nit that he bought aldermen with the
money than that he put it in his own
pocket.
