Testimony Kept Out.

In the trials the court refused to
admit for the prosecution the testi-
mony Of the inspecting officer con-
corning the admissions made by the
accused officers, although the inspec-
tor testified that the admissions were
wholly voluntary and without advice
or indictment by him of any nature.
1t is further remarked by General
Mills that the admission of Lieuts.
MOller and Bennett to the inspector
establishes conduct on their part
which brings just reproach upon the
service, and is stain on their man
hood. The fact that they did not
actually order the maltreatment es-
tablished in evidence does not lessen
in the least their own responsibility
therefor They knew that such
procedures were in direct violations
of the orders governing the troops in
the operations in which they were en-
gagged.
The trials leave Lieuts. Miller and
Bennett in an unenviable position. If
their sworn statments to the inspec-
tor are accepted as truthful, then the
two witnesses called by the defense,
who testified that they were present
at the time of the alleged i'll treat
ment of the native prisoners, know
ingly swore falsely regarding the ma
terial allegations.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 10
(Special) Records Of the court-mar-
tiaI cases of Second Lieuts John J.
Moller and Claire r. Bennett, Eighth
Infantry, have reached the War De-
partment from the Philippines. These
officers were tried on the. charge of
conduct to the prejudice of good order
and military discipline, it being al
legged that in deliberate disregard of
the protection due certain native
prisoners, they permitted them to be
tormented by the presidente of Toll
osa and party, by having their fing-
ers squeezed and mashed in a small
else, for the purpose of eXOrting in
formation which they were supposed
to possess. The officers were found
not guilty by the court, but the pro-
ceedings, findings, and acquital were
disapproved by the reviewing officer,
Brig. Gen. Albert l.. Mills, command
ing the Department of the Visayas, in
which department the trials were
held
Preceding the trials in these cases,
an investigation was held of the as
sertions made to the effect that, dur

permitted and had been parties to
the maltreatment of Filipino pris-

Oregon's "Chinook shecpmen."

Charles Cunningham, the ex-sheep
king of eastern Oregon, in speaking
of those sheepmen who are frequently
found short of hay during the winter
season, says they are Chinook sheep
men," says the Pilot Rock Record.
When asked what that meant, he re-
piled: "There is a certain class of
men in the sheep business who de-
pend almost entirely upon the chinook
to save them from bankruptcy instead
of having on hand goodly supply Of
hay. When l was in the business
never depended upon the chinook.

WATER FOWL DYING.
Thousands of Ducks Pcrishei From
Exhaustion I'm Southwark Flight.

As sequel to the story that thous-
ands of ducks were dying at the mouth
OF the Jordan river at Salt Lake,
printed few days ago, the Salt Lake
Republican of Friday says: The hum
dreds OF ducks that died and are still
dying in the swamps near the mouth
OF Jordan river did not come to their
end from starvation. That Is the
statement given out by DR.. r. w.
Fisher Of the University OF Utah, after
a careful investigation. Dr. Fisher
said late Wednesday night that the
vital organs of the ducks were in
good condition, that they seemed
healthy and that the specimens
brought to him were far from show
ing signs of starvation.
II did not investigate the poison
ing theory, as that is left to Herman
Harmes, who will report on the mat
ter very soon. But I do not believe
that they died from poisoning. 1t Is
my opinion that the birds died from
exhaustion. My theory is that they
were coming from the north, that
they were caught by the terrific storm
of a few weeks ago and were ex-
hausted, after flying around hunting
for open water. I believe that they
fell to the ground and some of them
died before recovering, while others
were strong enough to survive and
will live"

portion of them, are to be seen in
