Sentence Of the Court Martial Approx
ed by General Grant.

General Grant, commanding the Depart
ment of the East, has acted on the case Of
Second Lieutenant Clarence A. Eustaphieve,
23d Infantry, recently transferred from duty
al Washington barracks to Madison bar
racks, n. Y. This officer was tried on
charges of conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman, absence without leave
and conduct to the prejudice of good order
and military discipline. Two specifications
under the first charge alleged that Lieu
tenant Eustaphieve appeared on the streets
of this city in an intoxicated condition en-
gagged in alteration with a policeman
and resisted arrest, ito the scandal and
disgrace of the military service"
The court found him not guilty of the
first charge. but guilty of conduct to the
prejudice Of good order and military dis
cipline. He was found guilty of the first
specification alleging intoxication. but not
of the words scandal and disgrace of the
military SERVICE" for which were substi-
tuted the words prejudice of good order
and military discipline.
The court sentenced Lieutenant Eusta-
phieve to be reprimanded by the reviewing
authority and to be reduced fifty files in
rank on the ineal list of second leutenants
of infantry. In approving the sentence Gen
eral Grant said:
This is not the only time that these
headquarters has received information that
Lieutenant Eustaphieve has been in the
hands of the municipal police. The evil
dence in this case does not, in the opinion
OF the reviewing authority. entirely absolve
him from the facts alleged in the fourth
charge and specifications. The continuing
punishment imposed by the sentence should
be a constant reminder to Lieutenant
Eustaphieve that1f he desires to remain in
the service of the United States his habits
In the use of intoxicating liquor must be
reformed

ABSENCE FROM DUTY
NEW RULE PROBABLE GOVERN
ING ANNUAL LEAVE.

AS result of a suggestion submitted to
the Commissioners a day or two ago by DR..
William c. Woodward, health officers of the
District of Columbia, it is probable that
the existing practice of granting leaves of
absence to per annum employees of the Dis
trict government will be greatly changed
during the current year and all years fol-
lowing.
The regulation drafted by DIR. Wood
ward provides that each employe of the
health department who is paid a per an
mum salary and under the regulations of
the Commissioners entitled to leave of
absence with pay may be granted such
leave by the health officer not to exceed
thirty days; except that no employe Will
be granted leave for more than twelve
working days between June LIST and Sep
TENDER Both. nor more than thirty days
during the month of December and the
month of January Immediately following.
Those who have been in the service less
than one year are to be granted pro rata
leave.
Leave of absence with pay other than
that authorized by the foregoing para
graphs can be granted only by special or
der of. the Commissioners"
Commissioner Mcfarland thought so well
of the suggestion when he passed upon the
papers today that he not only approved DR..
Woodward's recommendation with refer
ence to the health department, but stated in
his Endorsement that the same rules might
be extended to other departments of the
District government where similar condi-
lions would make them applicable

SANITATION AND LABOR.
Subjects of Mr.. Stevens Discussion
Before Canal Committee.

Chief Engineer John F. Stevens. On charge
of the construction Of the Panama canal.
was before the Senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals throughout yesterday. He
gave much important testimony In regard
to labor conditions. declaring that the acts
making the eight-hour and the Chinese ex-
cus5on laws applicable to the canal zone
must be repealed II the situation Is to be
met economically and the canal built within
a reasonable time.
The minority report OF the consulting
board of engineers, regarding the type OF
canal, was not received, and therefore Mr..
Stevens will be recalled for examination Ola
this subject before he sails for the iSthmus.
Sanitary and labor conditions on the 18th
mus Were the chief subjects considered.
practically all the afternoon session being
devoted to the latter. Mr. Stevens deSCrtb-
ed the negro laborer from Martinique ana
Jamaica as shiftlesS and Incompetent To
such an extent that the payment OF small
wage for an eight-hour day is proving an
OF the eight-hour Law so far as it applies to
the canal zone. is a necessity, and that IL
would be beneficial to legislate that the
Chinese exclusion act will not apply TO the
zone He said that such legislation would
in no manner inJure American labor, the
latter is untitled for employment there.
1t was his opinion that the commission IS
getting matters in shape that a good
showing can be made to Congress in the
near future. In order that the committee
may understand the progress of the work
he suggested that a large map of the canal
zone be secured before he testiies again.
He said that he could point out the diff
cuities to be encountered and could give
the committee better understanding OF
the work.
