ARMY AND NAVY UNION,
Another Chapter Added to Trouble in
the Ranks

Another chapter is said to have been
added to the trouble In the ranks of the
local Army and Navy Union last evening
when Mr.. Robert Galbraith. who was re-
Gently appointed department commander by
National Commander Browne, visited the
meeting place of the Gen. Guy V. Henry
Colored Garrison. 1t Is explained that the
colored soldiers and sailors were in session
when Mr.. Galbraith and his staff, in uni
form and wearing side arms, appeared at
the door and raped Tor admission At the
same moment, it was added, a motion to ad-
journ was made by member and unani-
mously carried. Then Department Com
mander Galbraith was admitted only to find
the members in the confusion Of adjourn
ment and ready to depart for their homes
Commander Galbraith and his staff are
said to have withdrawn gracefully from the
hall following the adjournment incident
1t is understood that National Command
er Browne has instituted an investigation
into the manner in which his appointee as
department commander has been treated by
the local garrisons, and with that end in
viewshe has written several communications
to Washington garrisons and individual
members of the organization.
Commander Galbraith today did not deny
the adjournment incident of last night but
said that at this juncture he would have
to decline to make a statement for publi-
cation. His friends say he will continue
ION the even tenor of his way and assert
his prerogatives as commander of the De-
partment of the District of Columbia.

dian authorities had been received request
ing that he be taken into custody. The story
told by Glass of his crimes near Roxham,
Canada, and of his subsequent escape from
jail at st. Johns four years ago was not
credited by the police. They believed the
young man. who had suffered from attacks
OF nervousness, imagined he had commit
ted the crimes alleged, but a message from
the officials gave the information that he
had told the truth. The same message also
stated that the authorities would not stand
the expense of returning him there for
trial and he was released
The Canadian authorities. however, seem
to have changed their minds in the matter
OF his return, two messages received by In
spector Boardman last night indicating that
he is wanted there and that an officer will
come for him. The first message last night
came from Louis Mayrand. sheriff. who
asked that Glass be he'd stating that he is
wanted to answer charges of arson and at
tempted murder. X p. McCaskill, govern
ment detective, also wired the police to
hold Class, and asked to be notified II he
were willing to return
Upon receipt of the messages Inspector
Boardman sent word to the barracks to
nave the military authorities detain him.
Capt. Ashford had arranged for the formal
discharge of the Canadian, saying he want
ed nobody In his command VINO was under
such charges, but the discharge papers had
not arrived, and Glass was still in the
service
1t was expected that Glass would be
turned over to the police authorities this
morning, but when Detective Weldon went
10 get him he was informed that an en-
listed man could not be extradited until
he had been discharged. He will be given
his discharge in about a week or ten days,
and the police will then take him into Gus
tody Meanwhile he is being kept under
guard at the barracks
