PARDON FOR ARMY DESERTERS
Eighty-FOur Men Released from Fort
Leavenworth Prison by order
of Secretary Taft.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, jan 2S.-Eighty-
four inmates of the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth. most of them men who had
been punished for deserving from the army,
were released today on an order from the
secretary of war.
This is the largest number OF men ever
freed from any military prison at any one
time. The men had been sentenced to serve
from one year up I'm the prison. and all had
done one year. They were recommended
for clemency by Lieutenant Colonel Young,
commandant of the prison, because of good
behavior.
There was not enough citizens clothing
in the prison for them, and several men
remained in prison tonight and will remain
for a few days until It can be supplied. The
government has made no appropriation for
giving the men transportation TO their
homes, as is done in the United States
penitentiary, and they have been turned
adrlft without cent in their pockets. The
majority came to Leavenworth during the
day and begged for food and shelter for
the night. Some of them managed to get
as far as Kansas City with money borrowed
from soldiers at Fort Leavenworth.
The chiefs Of police in Leavenworth,
Atchison, Kansas City and st. Joseph were
notified by Colonel Young to prevent them
picking the men up as deserters from the
army.

BEVERIDCET TALKS IN SENATE
Indiana Man Speaks -Four Hours in Support
Of Child Labor Bill,
POWER OF CONGRESS is QUESTIONED
His Statement That IL Has Absolute
Right TO Control Interstate
Commerce ProvoLes Many
Inquiries.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Bev-
eridge occupied the attention of the senate
during the day with a continuation of his
argument in behalf of the child labor bill.
He had only reached the legal and consti-
tutional phases of the question after speak
ing for more than four hours, and ar
rangements were made whereby he will con-
clude tomorrow.
In taking the position that congress could
exercise any restraint 1t saw fit on inter-
state commerce, Mr.. Beverage met a
fusillade of questions by his colleagues and
his progress in argument was slow, he
maintained that the question of policy al
ways would restrain any hurtful regula-
lions.
The senate adopted resolution directing
the Interstate Commerce commission to
report as to the position in its employ held
by c. S. Hanks, who recently stated be-
fore the Boston Chamber of Commerce
that railroad rates could be reduced Il
per cent without impairing dividends. The
resolutions also asked for facts dn which
this statement was based. Both houses
today adopted a joint resolution continu-
Ing the joint postal commission until its
affairs can be wound up.
The senate today confirmed the nomina
ton of Richard A. Ballinger of Seattle
Wash, to be commissioner of the general
land Office.

SOLDIERS ARE ON TRIAL
Lieutenant and Private Accused of
Murder Face Civil Court at
Pittsburg.

PITTSBURG, Jan. IA murder trial the
outcome of which will establish an i'm
portant precedent in legal and military cir
cles was called here today in the criminal
branch of court. Lieutenant Ralph w
Drury and Private John Dowd of the Ninth
United States infantry were placed on trial
charged with the murder of William Crow
ley. IS years old, who, on September TO-.
1903, was killed near the United States
arsenal by Private Dowd. acting under in
structions from Lieutenant Drury.
Crowley and number of other boys are
said to have been caught stealing inside the
arsenal grounds. were pursued by soldiers
and Crowley was shot after he had gotten
a considerable distance outside the arsenal
limits
The question at issue is: Has a United
States soldier the authority to kill man
pected of a crime within government prop
erty?
Ever since the killing of Crowley the case
has been discussed by legal and military
experts all over the country.
Many maintain that as the alleged crime
of Crowley's was committed within govern
ment property the soldiers were justified in
pursuing the man as they did.
Before he died, however Crowley made a
statement in which he denied he was in
side the arsenal, but claimed instead that
he was sitting on a doorstep became
frightened at the sight of the onrushing
soldiers and ran. He said he heard a COM
mand to halt, that he did halt, but was
instantly shot
For days following the shooting the civil
and military authorities had frequent
clashes. The police officials and coroner
ins1seed that as the shooting occurred out
side the government property tbs prisoner
belonged to them. Lieutenant Drury took
a different view of the matter, however
and the civil authorities dared not force
their demands by entering the arsenal
The case was finally taken to the United
States supreme court where II was de-
cided TO turn the men over to the civil
authorities and end the question for al
time. Lieutenant Drury and Private Dowd
surrendered and we're later released in the
sum of 5000 bail.
The prisoners are being defended by the
government, and United States Attorney
Dunkle is their counsel.
The commonwealth is represented by Dis
trict Attorney Harry Geohring.
When court opened a large representation
OF civil and military attorneys were in at
tendance.

.EDUCATES In GRAIN GRADING
], D. shanahan, Government Expert, Dem
onstratss the Moisture Test
SAYS FEDERAL INSPECTION WILL COME
Department of Agriculture 20 Estnb-
lish Laboratories, Probably One
at Omaha, ~ the Money
Can he Secured.

]. ID. Shanahan, a grain expert employed
by the Department of Agriculture was at
the Omaha Grain exchange Monday after
noon demonstrating the moisture test for
the grading of grain. The department is
convinced that the grading Of grain prin-
cipally by the determination of the mois-
ture content is the only method which will
insure a Standardization of grades in the
various markets. 1t is sending Mr.. Shana-
han out on a mission of education, and he
is demonstrating at the principal grain
markets and at state experimental stations.
He tested samples from eight or ten cars
of grain at the exchange yesterday. The
method is to boil the corn in oil, under a
heat of 1870 degrees centigrade, and measure
the percentage of water that comes from It.
1T is the only scientific way Of grading
corn" said Mr.. Shanahan. Inspectors
commonly grade their grain by feeling It
to determine the moisture content, though,
of course. other things enter into consid-
Grafton. No man can tell how much water
corn holds by feeling It. According to
the dampness of the air or the temperature
of his fingers, he may grade corn No.
one day which he pronounced No. the
day before In making experiments in
the Chicago market a short time ago I
tested some corn which had been graded
No. 4 and found It to be better corn than
some which had been graded No 3.
1.-The department will endeavor to get an
appropriation to establish laboratories at
all the large markets for just such work
as l am doing At present the law limits
them to the seaboard and we have but two,
one at Baltimore and one at New Orleans.
If the appropriation is secured one of these
laboratories probably will be established at
Omaha. The laboratories would be pri-
marily for the experimental purposes of
the government but anticipate that as the
grain markets became educated TO our
methods they would ask us to do their
grading for them.
Though 1t is not part of my mission to
preach the gospel of federal inspection of
grain, have no doubt federal inspection
law will be passed within two or three
years. 1t is the best way to do away with
the difference in grading of grains at va
rious markets / have found by my tests
that some markets grade grain lower than
others"
Mr.. Shanahan says test by his method
will tell the grain dealer whether his corn
Is dry enough TO go into southern climates
with safety. This matter is of great i'm
portance to Omaha dealers. as the move
ment of grain from Omaha to the gulf ports
is becoming greater each year.

are more or less permeated with discrlm-
ination in favor of the Standard OH COM
pany, having been built up during a series
years in that vlewss5ni II may be that this
will never be eliminated by
any process of complaint against a specific
rate or practice. Judging by the past, dis
elimination aseeto this traffic may arise
more frequently than those now existing
can be routed out by that method. AS to
no other improved traffic is there an ,ap;
proach to the monopoly of the Standard
oil in that of oil. Under this conditions it
may become necessary to the uprooting
of established wrongs and the prevention
of others that the government shall fix in
the first instance the rates and regulations
for the transportation of this traffic. This
method has been adopted by the legislature
of one state. 1t probably will be found
necessary to disassOciate I'm the case OF OIL
as in that Of other commodities, the func-
ton of transportation from that of produc-
ton and distribution. What other remedies
in addition to those already provided It
may be necessary TO prescribe can be better
determined In the near future by the re-
suits experience in administering the
present law.
