SCANDAL IN ARMY
OVER KOEHLER AFFAIR
Courtmartial That May Involve Pronh-
nent Officers in Philippines Ordered
by War Department.

Washington, July 21.-A wranele be-
tween two army officers in the Philip
pines, ending in mutual abuse, was the
reason for the issue by the acting sec
retary of war Of an order today for
the assembling of a general courtmar--
tial on Nov. I. at zamboango, Island of
Mindanao. This rather unusual course
was pursued because the officials here
were not certain but that some officers
higher in rank than the two princi-
pals named, might be drawn into the
matter. ,"
From the order it appears that Cap
tain L. M Koehler, Fourth cavalry, is
to be tried for using Incorporate Ian
guage toward his superior officers. At
Arst it was charged that the, captain
abused Major Hugh L. Scott, his imme-
date superior. They preferred charges
against each other and General Wood
found the major blameless but court:
martialed the captain. The court found
him guilty and sentenced him to be
reprimanded. - <
The captain, in his indignation, de
clared that he had been treated un
fairly, thereby rejecting on Genera
Wood, and it was because the latter SC
requested that the Department. itself or
dered this second courtmartial. The re
mote date fixed for the meeting Of the
court is explained by the necessity, o1
lending witnesses from the United
States and other legal requirements.

Chicago, July 21.-A great social war,
involving the whole nation in a class
stuggle for power, all resulting from
present evils in our social and economic
systems, was predicted by Professor
Chicago, in lecture on Fellowship. -
A reign of anarchy, inspired by the
Haunting of riches and insolence in the
faces of the poor by the owners Of
great fortunes, the professor declared,
seems imminent.
Anarchy will be the logical outgrowth
of the overwhelming dominance Of
wealth in America. The clash, he as
serted, will be a gigantic revolt, against
crime of it will be upon the heads Of
the 'upper classes,' who have brought
it on by their own folly.
"Our social contrasts become every
day more obnoxious,' declared Profes-
sor Zueblin. "Wealth is faunted in
the faces Of the poor. The display and
vulgarity of the rich is on every hand.

more money is spent than he could ever
hope to make in his entire lifetime.
What wonder if he turns anarchist.
Practically every workman in this
country is dependent upon some man
an employer-who orders his every step
Just little handful of men manage the
great industrial affairs of the country.
We must have more independence.
''We can see good example of class
distinction in the streetcar system on
the South Side. On Forty-seventh
street there are some big. sumptuous
cars, which run as far west as Indiana
avenue. These are for the Kenwood
people, West of Indiana avenue there
are some little, stuffy, yellow cars
These are for the stockyards people.
Yet it is possible that as good and
worthy citizens come from the stock
yards as from Kenweod.''

EXPERIMENTS IN SEEDS

Secretary Wilson Answers Critics
of Departments Expendi-
lures for Germs.
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, July 21.-Criticism Of
expenditures by the department Of ag-
riculture for the introduction of for
eign sheds and plants into this country
is thing that has tendency to mako
the secretary Of agriculture warm under
the cellar. He has seen SO much Of the
great value of the work of his, depart
ment in this respect that it makes hiH1
out of patience to find any benighted
being left in the United States who
does not realize what has been done.
The secretary can cite figures to
prove that the people of this country
are many million dollars better of ON
account OF the department Is explora-
tions and Investigations in foreign
lands, and this tangible and measurable
benefit is 30 immense in the aggregate
that it makes the expense, in compare
son, look very small indeed.
A good illustration of the way Secre-
tary Wilson looks at it is to be found
in the matter Of sorghum. That valua-
BILE plant was introduced into the United
States in 1864 from China and France,
almost simultaneously, at total ex-
pense to the department of $4,000. To-
day sorghum is grown all over the coun-
try and the value of the annual crop is
estimated at $40,000,000. This, the sec
retary feels, is conclusive evidence that
if the government had insisted on saw

G. EvILLE, July 11.-Many men,
y wise and otherwise, regard matri-
mony as lottery, but seldom has
man applied the popular theory in
the same fashion as Don Rafael Alsina,
who has Just caused sensation here.
Don Rafael, who is decidedly we'll
to-do, recently won the grand prize in
the National lottery, divided the money
between five pretty girls who had been
chosen by vote, and then had recourse
to another lottery to determine which
of them he should marry. The story
is funny enough to furnish material
for q connie opera, but it is none the
less entirely true.
Don Rafael Alsina lives in fine style
in an ancient palace in the popular
Thiana quarter in Seville. With the
old palace he inherited large fortune.
devotion to business which is exceed
ingly rare in Spain where the general
rule of life is, ''Never do today what
you can put off dRing until tomorrow.
Because, presumably, he allowed him
self so little leisure Don Alsina had
achieved another distinction rare in
Spain He had reached his thirty
eighth birthday without ever having
fallen in love. His pet hobby, aside

in Seville for his charity.
