GRANT,
Where Col. Stewart, the Exiled Ar
tiIleryman, Lives With the Society
of One Man, in the Lonesome
Arizona Desert, Because He Has
a Bad Temper, and the President
Could Think of Nothing Else to
Do With Him.

soldier, who officiates as caretaker,
sentry, bugler, standard bearer, orderly,
corporal, captain, lieutenant, quarter
master, cook, commissary and, in fact,
as the whole garrison, all in one. A
teamster comes over twice week with
the mail from Wilcox. The garrison
is always mighty glad to see him, and
after the teamster has gone away
again, the great solitude of the plains
always resettles over Fort Grant,
silent and immutable as the grave.
The case of Colonel Stewart is a Pc
culiar one. Colonel Stewart is now SO
years of age. He is entitled to retire
because of his forty years in continuous
service, but he can not be retired
against his will until he reaches the
age of 81, which gives him three years
more on the active list. He refuses
to retire unless he be made brigadier-
general, and the president refuses to
promote him, alleging that his services
and abilities do not entitle him to any
such advancement. There are no
grounds in his case that warrant his
retirement by the board acting in or
binary cases, for he is active Of mind
and body and there is no regulation
STIMULATING that excessive bad temper
is sufficient ground for retirement
Many army officers having outgrown
their usefulness have been quietly
shelved for the few years remaining of
their service by being ordered to Wash
ington with instructions to report to
the chief of staff each week until fur
Their orders, and these orders never
come. But Colonel Stewart, refusing
to retire without further promotion, has
been denied the privilege of this full
pay shelving under pleasant surround
ings and has been ordered to an isolat-
ed, ungarrisoned post without COM
mand.
The reports upon which the presi-
dent has relied in his action in the
Stewart case have been made by Cen
erals Wade, Grant, Murray. Duvall and
Davis. and these practically agree as
to the general features in the case and
as to recommendations.
During the last three years" says
the president, in reference to General
Duvalls report, "the trouble with Col
onel stewart has reached a climax. In
1905 when he was in command of Fort
Williams, Me-, his quartermaster was
aaud sent to the peni-
tertiary for most outrageous frauds
which had gone on under the very eyes
of Colonel Stewart, but he had failed
to detect the crimes of the officer, in
so doing being culpably remiss in ex-
ercising supervision over his subordi-
mates. At the same place he became
embroiled with a civilian, Mr.. Cushing,
a resident of the neighbobrhood of the
reservation, and the war department
was obliged to interfere to stop his
wrangling with Mr.. Cushing.

COLONEL w. F. STEWART.
y ~. &.2HH14 ~ ~ y 81 ~

There can be but one conclusion -
said General Murray, chief of artillery,
in his report, from the testimony of
his division and department command
ers, his corps commander, his second
in command, his own staff officers and
all others who have been called upon
1T is believed that the officer should
be relieved from the command of his
post and district, but this can not be
accomplished by bringing him before
general court-martia1, for, while he has
committed many overt acts for which
he might be punished, it would be
probably impossible successfully to
prosecute charges which would result
in his dismissal from the army and to
sentence him to any less punishment
would not be a proper or effective rem
edy."
President Rooseve,N. realizing that
neither a retiring board nor a court
martial could get the result that
seemed to him fit In rne given case,
hit upon a new idea-banishment to an
ungarrisoned post without command.
The alternative of ordering him to
Washington indefinitely was regarded
as an action more fitting as a reward
for merit than as condemnation.
The isolated post was decided upon.
Fort Assiniboine WAS considered, but
decided against because of the long and
severe winters. Fort Keegn might have
proved satisfactory, being without a
regular garrison, but it is occupied by
a small detachment of troops, and it
was thought unwfse to place him over
these. Fort Brown, at Brownsville,
Tex. is ungarrisoned since the dis
missaI of the colored regiment that
formerly occupied it, but the civilians
there carry 'hoglegs'' for any resi-
dent of the military reservation, and
the coIoneFs execution rs not sought.
There remained but Fort Grant, so this
post was decided upon.
BY a curious coincidence, Colonel
Stewards father, who was a brigadier
general in the regular army, was exiled
to Angel Island, in San Francisco har-
Dor, then an ungarrisoned post. His
son was sent to the same place, as his
fathers adjutant. and there they lived
for years until the father reached the
retiring age, with few enlisted men
to tend to their wants. The complaints
against the father were similar to
those against the son, that he was
temperamentally untitled TO command
men and caused trouble in every COM
mand to which he was assigned.

Lieutenant Governor Porter DIguSts All
Decent Voters With Push" Tactics
Runs Watsonville Primary to Suit Himself, Handing
Out Tickets at Door Of the Voting Place

An excellent example Of the methods
pursued by the railroad machine in
its desperate efforts to crush the Lin
coin Roosevelt republican league was
afforded at Watsonville last Tuesday,
where Lieutenant Governor Warren r.
Porter personally supervised push"
fight that would have done credit in
the forty fifth district of this city.
Porter had heard that the Lincoln
Roosevelters were "out to skin him."
as he would describe it. and to make
sure that he would not be beaten he
did things up with a flourish of gang
methods. according to advices received
from the apple center.
Porter hates the Lincoln Roosevelt
league with all the spirit of the most
loyal follower "Old Man" Herrin has
in California. That any man or set Of
men should undertake to prevent him
from 'delivering" his home bailiwick
aroused his ire to the bursting point
and he took a few days off from the
joys of the feet reception to go down
and give his defiant neighbors a good
lesson.
WINS LITTLE; LOSES MUCH
He was grandly triumphant, as far
as results in the way of naming dele
gates went, but it appears that moth
ing could have been more fortunate for
the league than the campaign the lieu
tenant governor made. It seems that
as a result of his tactics the republic
cans of Watsonville are now thor
oughly disgusted with machine politics
and that an Irresistible uprising has
come with the introduction of genuine
metropolitan push" politics into the
peaceful Pajaro valley town.
The Lincoln Roosevelt ~leaguers
fought desperately, but they had no
chance against Porter and his follow
ing That the lieutenant governor was
only wrecking himself politically and
making capital for the league for the

primaries in August is hardly to be
disputed. Even the camera was
brought into use and photographs
were obtained of Porter-Lieutenant
Governor Warren r. Porter-standing
over his ballot box passing out tick
cts and otherwise running the prf-
mary election to suit himself
The following trustworthy dispatch
to The Call from Watsonville gives
some light on the conditions attend
ing the election there last Tuesday
PORTER RUNS PRIMARIES
Jacksonville, May s.-The outcome
here. while not victory for the
league, was most satisfactory. The
organization had the election officers,
it's ballots were kept right at the
door of the voting room, and it was
easily discernible what ticket any
man voted. No qualification test was
exacted of the voter and Porter and
his corporation and personal touts had
automobiles out bringing in all the
hoaters. The polls were held in part
of the town that is not overpopular
and at least 300 good republicans
stayed away who objected to the
method OF conducting the election and
where their little ballots could be seen
by the enemy.
IF the ex-convicts, fioaters and that
class lad been cast out by the oppo-
sition the machine would not have had
so respectable votes. Their claims the
day before the primary were that they
would win by three to one and more,
but they did not win by two to one.
The 143 votes for the league under
these conditions have put ginger into
the stay away republicans and from
now on the Lincoln Roosevelt league
will boom here.
The total election expenses of the
league were not more than $40. Por-
ter and his followers must have spent
at least $500. Every 'fioater' cost them
a piece of money"

One of the delegations which the

men in this delegation, one from each

that these seven are all with the or

GIVES LIE TO MACHINE
But the faIsity of this claim ie ex-
posed by. Captain B. B. Tuttle of Wood

mitteemen for the Lincoln Roosevelt
league, who says that at least six of
the seven delegates are thorough going

there is tremendously strong feeling
in favor of the league throughout Yolo
county.

Captain Tuttle, max be claimed for the

exception. Six of the delegates are
unquestionably with us; as to the
seventh I am not prepared to speak

The. county central committee of
Yolo county nominated the seven dele
gates to be voted for at this primary
throughout the county and as there
was no opposition they were all elected.
The state organization claims them be-
cause the county Organization appointed
them; but they have no right to rea-

The sentiwent in Yolo county is
overwhelmingly In favor of the league.
The people are enthusiastic about this
fight in every nook and corner OF the
county from which could gather In
formation. The delegates will not dare
to go back on this sentiment.
The league can count on the votes
Of the Yolo delegates. 1t may be the
more assured Of having them because
they are near Sacramento and may be

Capital City Coal Co.,,
 Phone S88. Quick Delivery

Some coal fields in Southeastern Kentucky have rapidly developed dur ing the past few years, but the deveI- oped acreage is small as compared with the tracts still without transportat tion facilities.
 Along the Cumberland Valley divi- sion of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in the counties of Laurel, Whitley Knox and Bell. probably 50 new mining operations have been started during the past two years. The coal deposits are reached by short lateral extensions from the main line and in the four counties close to 5000 900 tons of coal were produced last year, although the field has scarcely been scratched.
 The scope of activity has been con siderably widened during the past year by the extension of the Cumberland Railroad from Barboursyille, Ky, through sections of Knox, Bell and Whitley counties. The line, not yet completed, has opened up a large coal acerage to the South.
 Suggestions of the tendency in the South to utilize it's various mineral re- sources in industry Is the announce ment of plans by $500,000 company to establish on 30 aceres of land near San Antonio, Tex, Portland cement plant capable of turning out 1000 bar rels of cement daily. The buildings will be fre-proof and steel and cor Fugated iron. An interesting under taking Is the development of a whet- stone quarry on Burnt Mountain near Jasper, Ga, to have a capacity of 1, ,o0O homes a day. At Columbia. S. C.. will be erected a fertilizer factory with q main building 300 by 75 feet and an annual output of 10000 or l5,O0O tons.
 In textiles the week was marked by announcements that mill at Lagrange Ga, will spend between $400, GOO and Sbo0.oo0 upon another plant to be equipped with 10.3eS ring spindles, l32 looms. 57 cards, etc.. using electric power and to manufacture heavy duck and carpet yarns; that a mill at Spar tanburg has awarded contract for TO- 900 spindles and $50 looms additional ana tn9t a mill at Shelby, N. C.. is to have another building to accomodate 5000 spindles.
