COL. W F. STEWARDS CASE
SENATOR RAYNER'S Request
LIKELY TO BE REFUSED.
Wants a Military Court Of Inquiry
Called-Adjutant General
McCain's Statement.

Although not finally determined, it is
predicted that the President will decline
to grant the request of Senator Rayner of
Maryland that a military court of inquiry
be convened to investigate the case of
Col. William F. Stewart of the Coast Ar
tillery Corps. who has been practically
Grant, Ariz., because he refuses to retire
from the army at the behest Of the Presi-
dent. Senator Rayner is awaiting the ac-
ton Of the President in the matter. and IL
1t is not favorable to Col Stewart may
bring the matter to the attention of the
United States Senate with a view to the
institution of an inquiry by a committee
of that body.
The attitude of the War Department in
this case Is shown in a letter recently ad-
dressed to Col. Stewart by Adjt. Gen. Nc
Cain in reply to the formers application
for assignment to the command of Fort
Howard. near Baltimore. instead of the
Arizona post. The adjutant general said |:
I'm response to your letter of the 18th
ultimo am directed by the acting secre-
tary of war to advise you as follows:
Your request OF change of station Is
disapproved. The quartermaster general
has been directed to take prompt meas
ures to remedy all defects complained of
fort and sanitary conditions of your quar-
tiers at Fort Grant. If you desire pro-
vision can be made to quarter the care
taker at Fort Grant in another building.
or a different caretaker can be ordered
there. II you desire either of these
changes made you will make report to
that effect to this Office for the action Of
the Secretary of War.
THE action Of the President that deter
mined your present status was based
upon a report submitted to and acted
upon by the President. which contained
the distinct recommendation that you be
retained at Fort Grant until you reached
the minimum age (sfxty-two years. per-
hitting of your compulsory retirement
by the President. unless in the meantime
your application to be retired after forty
years service should be received, then,
OF course you would be ordered to your
home on retirement.
ut Is therefore to be inferred that the
President contemplates no modification
Of your present status (Which you your
self have chosen in preference to being
retired) until your retirement"
