LIEUT.. GARDENERS CASE.
Assistant Secretary Darling's Indorse
ment of the Record

In executing that portion of the sentence
calling for a public reprimand imposed by
court-martial in the case of Second Lieut..
Frederick A. Gardener of the Marine Corps
convicted of intoxication and disorderly
conduct at ball in Annapolis Assistant
Secretary Darling of the Navy Department
Endorsed the record of the case as follows:
The sentence has this day been ap-
proved, but in view of the unanimous rec
ommendation of the court to clemency,
made in consideration of the youth and in
experience OF Second Lieut.. Gardener and
of the exceptional circumstance under
which the offenses were committed that
part of the sentence involving loss of num-
bers in your grade has been mitigated so
that you shall lose five numbers in your
grade. In administering the reprimand i'm
posed as part of the sentence in this case
it is deemed sufficient TO say that an officer
whose use of intoxicating liquors was so
excessive that he became drunk and re-
fused to obey the lawful order of his
perior officer and continued to make efforts
to re-enter a ball room from which he has
been ordered by his commanding officer has
been guilty of misconduct tending to de-
stroy his reputation as an officer and
gentleman and he would be deeply morti-
fed by the publication of an order an
nouncing to the service the fact of his trial
and conviction by court-martial for such
offenses. The publication to the service by
general court-martial order of the findings
and sentence of the court and of the fore
going remarks embraced herein will be re-
garded a compliance with SO much of
the sentence of the court provides that
Second Lieut.. Frederick A. Gardener Z. S.
Marine Corps, shall be publicly reprimand-
ed by the Secretary of the Navy. Second
Lieut.. Gardener will be released from ar
rest and restored to duty.

CUT OUT THE PROFITS.
Prisoners In Indian Territory Jails Fed
by the Government,

When Col Cecil Clay. general agent Of
the Department of Justice. took charge of
that work, he found that at the four United
States jails in the Indian Territory-Musco-
gee, South McAlester. Vinita and Ardmore
the feeding of United States prisoners was
done by contract, the contra ctor receiving
81 cents day for each prisoner. A care
full investiga ton revealed hat the prisoners
coould be fed for much less and that the
contractor was making an average of IL
cents day profit on a large number of
prisoners. Last fan Col. Clay refused to
make further contracts for the feeding of
prisoners and put this work in charge of
United States marshals, who turned it over
to the jailers. The experiment has resulted
in showing that the government is able to
feed the prisoners at less than 10 cents
day and give them good food as is OBJ
tanned anywhere. report that has been
received from the four jails for the three
months ended with March shows that at
Muscogee alone the saving was $500 over
the same period one year ago.
Col Clay has received the commentator
of Attorney General Moody upon his sue
cessfui mana cement of this and other
prison questions that have arisen.

MOURN ABSENCE OF BASE BALL.
Richmond Sports Deplore Failure to
Get Into the Game.

Special Dispatch to The Sunday Star.
RICHMOND, Va, April Is. 1905.
Efforts to revive base ball in this city this
season have been met with failure on every
side. This city. with more than one hum
dred thousand popula ton, is about the only
one in the country which will not have
ball team in keeping with her Importance.
1t is source of regret. The sport has al
ways paid in this city, but because of her
position-so far away from other cities that
could keep in her class-the expenses of
travelling make it impossible to maintain
league. The State League has not paid very
we'll.
Several years ago this city was in the
Eastern League, the team being under the
management of Jake Wells, who is now in
the theatrical business, and who has made
a success in that line. The city has a
team in the lnter-City League made up of
local players, but the teams are not such
the lovers of the sport would like to
see. The almost unanimous belief and hope
here is that this city will another year be-
come a member of the American Associa-
ton.

Annapolis and Trinity Cut by Harvard
in Games Scheduled.

Special Dispatch to The Sunday Star.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass, April 1.-two coll
leges have drawn the color line against
Harvard, according to crimson undergrad
yates today, as the reason advanced for
canceling the games with Annapolis and
Trinity College. The varsity nine has taken
Matthews, the colored short stop, along
and will not make the trip as far south as
the schedule calls for, the Annapolis game
being omitted
Last year, owing to the objection raised
against him, Matthews did not accompany
the team on its southern trip, and as
consequence Georgetown. the college most
insistent in its demand for his withdrawal,
scored a victory over Harvard.
This year Georgetown was dropped from
the crimson schedule.
This year Trinity and Annapolis objected
to Matthews and. it is understood here,
declined TO play unless he was withdrawn.
AS Matthews is one of the mainstays of the
team, the request was refused and the
games Cancelled.
