OF Irate Army officer and May Use II
Against Him--Is Charged With
Rejecting on Court
U8 Martials.

Washington, ID. G., jane .25.-Upon
the report Of Inspector General f. A.
Darlington, who has been assigned to
investigate, will depend whether Lieu.
tenant Colonel Charles G. Ayres shall
be court martialed.
This Is the inspector who made the
Investigation for the government in
the Brownsville shoot-up cases. Gen
er or not Colonel Ayres said The things
attributed to him in various inter
views. He is charged with rejecting
on court marital as no better than an
aggregation OF crocodiles, stating that
the charges against Mrs. Ayres were a
tissue of falsehocds, that she was
attacked in a cowardly manner by of
ficials and that in general courts mar
tial are farces.
These allegations were referred to
him and he was requested to explain.
He did not explain and Instructions to
General Darlington is the result. The
refusal of Cononel Ayres to reply will
probably be made the basis Of new
charge against him. This actirn
against Colonel Ayres is the result of
a conference between Secretary Taft
and Assistant Secretary of War Oil
yer.
Called "Drumhead Affair"
If Colonel Ayres is brought to trial
there is very little doubt that the gov
ernment will try to inject into the
case the records as to other court mar
tial in which Colonel Ayres was the
accused. There are three of these and
one Of them.-the serious one-is said
to have been such drumhead affair
that President Cleveland in looking
into the organization OF the court
made 1t the chief reason for disap-
proving of the whole proceedings.
Though the court found Ayres guilty,
the only action taken by President
Cleveland was to transfer him from
Fort Keogh to Fort Sam Houston IN
order TO get him away from his sur
lOhhulhSS.
Colonel Ayres was at that time ser.
wing under General Brooks. In that
case Captain Ayres, then of the Tenth
Cavalry, was accused of going over
the heads of his superiors by writing
direct to the Adjutant General ct
and of making false and
ibelous charges against Captain Will
lam aDyis, Jr., brother officer in the
Tenth Cavalry. 1t has always been
claimed by Colonel Ayres friends
and their claim is backed up by Presi-
lent Cleveland-that there was some
Thing wrong with the organization of
he court and that it amounted to a
lrumhead affair. Cleveland set the
sentence and all of the proceedings
lside.

inference that the mine owners in.

The calling of the first witness for
the defense was preceded by further
examination of Orchard to permit the
defense to complete its formal i'm

that he ever threatened to kill Steun-

pIete Tie-up in the West.
The following bulletin was last
night received by Members Of the
Commercial Telegraphers union from
President Small at Chicago
The San Francisco strikers are
gaining ground. Four wire chiefs at
the Western Union have joined the
ranks, reducing the force to eigth in
cluding General Superintendent james
The Postal is helpless and the Philip
pine cable is reported as closed down.
No Improvement in the telegraph SER
vice Is being shown from San Fran
cisco and kilograms passing through
Chicago today going east, are days
old. These kilograms were mailed to
Omaha and wired ther.
Conditions out of Chicago are
steadily growing worse. One and two
days delay is common. When the
pile gets large bunch disappears
presumably going by United States
mail or by train. Race telegrams
still have preference over all kinds
of public business as usual. No delay
to them.
Private advices from San Francisco
are positive in the statement that not
a single strike breaker has been Sc
cured. The postal company in Chi
cago installed 200 cots. rations, etc.,
on its tenth floor several days ago. A
complaint to the building commits
sioner elected the information that
this is a violation of the lodging house
ordinance and that there will be job

dozen would not be needed anyhow.
kilograms and resolutions from all
over the country in commendation OF
President Small and the San Fran
cisco strikers continue to pour In. The
San Francisco telegraphers have a.
Just grievance, we know 1t, the pub

cannot or will not see 1t. Right and
Justice will triumph. We will win.
