A wragle between two army officers
in the Philippines, ending in mutual
abuse, was the reason for the issue by
the acting Secretary Of war Of an order
for the assembling Of n general court
martial on November l at Zamboango
In the Island of Mindanao. This rath-
Ier unusual course was pursued because
the officials here were not certain but
that some officers higher In rank than
the two principals first named might
be drawn into the matter.
From the order 1t appears that Capt.
J.. M. Koehler, Fourth Cavalry, IL to
be tried for using incorporate lam
guage toward his superior officers. A
first it was charged that the Cap tain
abused Major Hugh l.. Scott, his Inn
mediate superior. They preferred
charges againstleach other, andj Gen.
eral Wood found the major blameless,
but tourt-martialed the captain. The
court found him guilty and sentenced
him to be reprimanded. The captain
In his Indignation declared that be had
been treated unfairly, thereby reflect
ing ON General Wood and 1t was be-
cause the latter SO requested that the
department itself ordered this second
|court-martial.
The remote date fixed for the meet
ing of the court Is explained by the
necessity Of sending witnesses from
the United States to Zamboango and
other legal requirements.

II II well known tnat the tendency
for rails to creep on trestles is FREE
qnently very strong. A section crew
OF the Terminal railroad OF st. LOUIS
recently had an unfortunate expert
ence in removing a rail from one OF
the elevated tracks Of that company
The rails had been creeping and were
under heavy stress. One Of them had
buekled sidewise, and as the spikes
were Withdrawn 1t suddenly dew out
OF place, breaking the limbs OF three
Of the workmen. one Of whom had both
legs broken Just above the ankles.
Still two other members OF the crew
were injured so seriously that they
had to be taken to a hospital.
A similar accident occurred on the
Union Pacific railroad some years ago.
In that case the rail sprang out or
place, striking the foreman and break
Ing his legs.
