NEW ENGLAND ATHLETES
FORM AN ORGANIZATION

BOSTON. Mass, August 6-The initial
steps have been taken here for the forma-
ton of an organization Of the athletes that
come under the Jurisdiction of the New
England Association of the Amateur Athlet-
ic Union. 1t is probable that when this new
organization attains Its full strength 1t Will
branch out and become of national. rather
than OF sectional scope.
Walter d. Eaton, one Of the best known
amateur athletes OF Boston and a member
of the American team that went to Athens,
is virtually the moving spirit in the pro-
posed organisation. but he Is backed by
some OF the strongest athletic leaders In
New England. Mr.. Eaton, although sus-
pended for not competing In the Eagles
games, for which he had made no entry,
has since been reinstated by the N e. A. A.
executive committee. He wishes it UNDER
stood that he is not waging any fight
against the New England association or its
officers.
The new organization will recognize the
Amateur Athletic Union the controlling
body In amateur athletics and will then
proceed to work In harmony. II possible.
with the New England association for the
ameiioration Of some OF the conditions that
at present work hardship upon the ath-
letes.

coURT-MARTIAL FOR KoEHLER.
To Face Trial for Incorporate Phrase
About Wood.

For using alleged 'intemperate language
in reference to Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood in
communication to the War Department.
Capt. L. M. Koehier. 4th Cavalry will face
court-martiai proceedings. says a dispatch
from Leavenworth. Kan.
The Incorporate language upon which
the charge is based was that appearing
in an official appeal by Capt. Koehler to
the Secretary Of War protesting against
an alleged unfair reprimand at the hands
of Wood, in which the division commander
Is accused Of unjust, unfair and Illegal
acts" and of trying to injure the repu-
tation OF Capt. KoehIer as an officer and
a soldier.
The controversy Is said originally to
have been between Koehler and Maj. Hugh
c. Scott. whom Cen. Wood had recon-
mended for brigadier generalship. Koch
Ter preferred charges against Scott, ac-
cusing him in substance of inattention to
duty and incompetency. When the charges
reached Wood. contrary to custom. he did
not order a court of inquiry. but, instead
Maj. Scott. then In Manila, on his way to
the United States. preferred charges In turn
against Koehler. alleging the making of al
legations that were malicious, vexatious
and groundiess."
Scott did rot appear before the court
Instead. he departed from the islands at
once, and being at sea. he was not avail
able as witness. 1t is declared that an
effort would have been made to question
Maj. Scott with regard to his administra-
ton as governor of Joio, where the for
tiflca ton OF Mount Dajo was allowed to
proceed uninterrupted. and the dislodge-
ment Of the natives from which place later
cost the lives Of more than score OF
American soldiers.
Capt. Koehler objected to every part of
the court-martial on the ground that it
was not legally constituted. and according
to military law he alleges that he was
denied opportunity to have counsel.
The court acquitted him of the charge
that his allegations were malicious vex-
atious and groundless. but held them to
be captious and unnecessary
Thereupon followed a reprimand OF Capt.
order From this Koehler appealed to the
Secretary of War. In this appeal Koehler
reviewed most of the case and makes direct
accusations against Gen Wood of Unfair
ness and Illegal acts and says that he is q
victim OF prejudice, bias and even malice.
Capt. Koehler bears good military
record. He is a graduate Of West Point
and completed the course at the old in
fantry and cavalry school at Fort Leaven-
worth He has seen service in Indian cam
pagns In the Philippines he commanded
the cavalry. two troops in Gen. Funston's
command in the campaign Immediately pre-
ceding the one in which the capture Of
Agunaldo was effected. He was also in
one of the four assauiting columns that
captured the crater in the Dajo engage
ment In the Island OF Jolo March l. Capt
Koehler has retained attorneys to represent
him at the War Department, and possibly
the United States Supreme Court may be
asked to review the case. to ascertain
whether Gen. Woods reprimand was in con-
forp,Ity with military taw

SUICIDE IN A CEMETERY.
Woman Drank Acid Near Parents
Graves In Baltimore.

cemetery. Baltimore Miss Lilly Poske,
thirty-three years old. who had for several
years been employed in the cloak depart
ment of a Eutaw street store. at 1880
o'clock yesterday afternoon drank a dose
of carbolic acid. Then she hid the bottle
from which the deadly drug had been
taken among the Ivy vines on a nearby
grave, and little later. just at the mo-
ment she expired. was discovered by her
sister, Mrs. Frank Feldman, with whom
she made her home.
Hidden In the Ivy on another grave was
a half-pint bottle which had contained
whisky. and the presumption is that the
stimuiant was taken first to give her the
of self-destruction. No note or message
was found to disclose purpose for the
suicide.
Mrs. Feldman, however. believes that
despondency, the result of serious heart
trouble, with which her sister had for
months been a sufferer. was the cause
The woman's mouth and tongue were
horribly burned. and the fact that she was
sitting upright leads to the presumption
that the effects OF the drug were very
prompt.
So strong was the acid that the hand Of
a man who handled the glass was painfully
burned.
Coroner C. Frank Jones was notified. and
after thorough investigation decided an
inquest was unnecessary and gave a GER
tificate of death by suicide. The body was
taken to the home of Mr.. Feidman on
Franklin street.

OFFICERS LOST IN roc.
Battleship Iains's Launch Kits Rec,
in Newport Harbor.


in Newport Harbor.
When the cruiser Denver. Capt. Coiweii.
arrived at New London, Conn. from New
port at noon yesterday she brought news
OF the rescue OF . party aboard the battle
snip Maine's launch. which was stranded on
ledge In Newport harbor last night. A
boxing exhibition at the training station
ended about 10 o'clock. and the Alabama.s
representative. who had q twenty-round
bout with Kearsarge man for the cham
pionship of the feet was victorious. At
tending the bout were officers from various
warships in port. among them several from
the battleshiDs Maine and Missouri, who
started to return to their respective ships
in one of the Names steam launches. Two
women. relatives of some OF the officers.
were also aboard the launch. bound for
jamestown wharf.
The launch left the training station about
1918 o'clock in a heavy fog, and had
reached a point opposite the lighthouse.
where she ran upon ledge, and efforts Of
the crew to disaodge her were futile The
tide was fast receding, and when 1t was
found the launch was fast on the rocks

the whistle was sounded at short intervals.
but passing launches and other steamers
paid no heed to the calls for assistance.
The occupants OF the launch had about
concluded that they would be prisoners on

the cruiser Denver appeared. The signals
OF distress had been noticed by Capt. Col
well. who was half mile away. In
short space of time the shtpwrecked party
was transferred to the Denver's boat and
the rescuers started the return to their
ship. The fog was 50 dense that they
rowed in a circle. and after half an hours
steady work they brought up against the
Names launch. which they had just aban-
doned.
A second start was made, and this time
the rescuers were aided by the Denvers
searchlights. Capt. Colwea having become
anxious at the whaleboats prolonged alb
5ence. When the Denver was reached the
rescued officers and women were trans
ferred to one Of that cruisers launches
and taken to their respective ships and
landings
The officers and crew OF the Names
launch say they should have received aid
long before they did. as launches passed
very close to them while they were sound
Ing their Distress signals. The Kentuckys
launch. they say, steamed within a few
feet of them and totally ignored their re-
peated danger calls.
