lar routine proceedings.
In the course OF his annual report, the
grand chief ranger said.

COMMISSION Of
LIEUT.. WOODWORTH
REVOKED TODAY

AS a result of charges preferred against
him alleging conduct unbecoming an Of
ficer. Gov Utter today issued orders re-
voking the commission OF First. Lieut..
Clarence f. Woodworth of the Machine
Gun battery
The charges were first brought to the
attention OF the public last February,
when Capt T. Merle Bixby Of the First
Machine Battery transmitted 10 the gov
ernor charges against his subordinate Of
fcer. alleging unbecoming conduct on the
rifle range at Wakefield and also in ap-
propriating TO his own use the company
stores of grain, etc.
This all transpired last year II being
claimed In the charges that some OF the
grain that was the property OF the COM
pany had been mLsused at the time OF
the encampment. When the atter was
brought 10 the attention Of the governor
the adiutant general was instructed TO
forward the charges to Lieut.. Wood
worth with the request that he reply
to them and defend himself. stating any
reason why his commission should not be
revoked.
The answer made was such that It
was deemed fair 10 hold an investiga-
tion before decisive action should be
taken and the papers were turned over
TO the Judge advocate Of the brigade, II.
G. Cram.
He. in accordance with the directions
received held a hearing. summonlng all
the witnesses possible. etc, and reported
the results in n communication to the
executive office yesterday.
AS a result OF the report OF the Judge
advocate the governor ordered the COM
mission TO be reyohed for the good OF
the service. The only recourse now left
TO the ex-leutenant is 20 ask for court
martial. Just what course he will pur-
sue could not be learned today.

KELLOGG BANKRUPTCY CASE.

New Brunswick. n. J.. Dec. S.-When Mrs
Amy Kellogg. wife OF David NJ. M. Kellogg a
New York lawyer. with a summer home at Oak
Tree went into voluntary bankruptcy. the
Chemical National Bank of New York, which
was a creditor declared that the transfer of the
15O-acre farm at Oak Tree formerly owned by
Mrs Kellogg but sold by her to Mrs. Lake of
New York was fraudulent, having occurred
within four months of the filing OF the petition
IN bankruptcy. Steps were taken to have the
transfer set aside and testimony was taken to-
day before United states Commissioner Rice
Mrs. Kellogg says that the transfer was in ac-
cordance with an agreement made in 1904 and
had no connection with the bankruptcy proceed
ings. The case was continued until next week
