PRESIDENT APPROVES
OFFICERS DISMISSAL
Lieut.. Donald McClelIand Must Leave
Army-Captain Curtis Allowed to
Resign and Lieut.. Jones Retained.

The President has approved the SEN
tence of dismissal passed on First
Lieut.. Donald G. McCIelland. of the
Tenth Infaptry who was recently tried
by courtmartial at Fort Wright, Wash
ington and convicted of charges of dis
obedience of orders and conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman.
Capt. Arthur +. Curtis of the Artil-
lery Corps. was tried several weeks ago
by court-martial at the Presidio San
Francisco, on charges involving conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentleman
disobedience of orders, and drunkenness
on duty He was convicted of drunken
ness and of conduct to the prejudice Of
good order and military discipline. Be
fore the couTt-martial proceedings were
over. however. Capt. Curtis rendered
his resignation, and the President in
view of the recommendation of the
court for clemency. has accepted the
resignation for the good of the ser
vice
The third case is of more local inter
est. for the accused officer. First Lieut..
Clarence N Jones, in the Artillery

sentence of dismissal has been disap-
proved By the President for THE reason
that the charges were not. In his opin-
Ion. proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

Trouble on Which Accusation Against

1t is not often that the Department of

charges against judiciary officials TO a
board of arbitration. Generally a man
is called upon to answer charges without
any formalities.

against him tried and passed upon by a
tribunal over whom the Department of
Justice exercises no influence whatso-
ever. This is the Oregon State Bar AS
sociation.
The Oregon district attorneyship has
long been a bitter bone of contention
among Oregon politicians. Since John H.

ago for alleged coilusion with those in
the land frauds the fight over the Of
