COLONEL STEWART
HAS A POOR SHOW
Arizona Exile" Is Before Board
Fighting Against His Re-
tirement

WASHINGTON, October s.-Colonel
w. +. Stewart of the army who has
come to be known as the Arizona
exile" struggled in vain today with
the retiring board. before which he
has been ordered, to obtain permission
Is not incapacitated for army service
and that therefore he should not be
arbitrarily retired.
J. w. Latimer, counsel for Colonel
Stewart, proceeded to cross question
Colonel Arthur and Major Edie. Both
of them, who are members of the re-
firing board, stated that Colonel
Stewart is afflicted with heart disease
to such an extent that any overexertion
might result disastrously to him. The
fact was brought out that Stewart
has been victim of heart disease for
80 years. and reference was made to
a document on file in the war depart
ment, showing that as early as 1877
he had requested to be excused from
participation in an Indian expedition
because of an affection of the heart
and rheumatism.
Latimer asked permission to show
the record of Colonel Stewards service,
how many leaves of absence the colonel
had had during the last % years, stat
ing that his object was to show that he
had been almost continuously on duty.
Recorder Rowland said he was willing
to admit that Colonel Stewart had per-
formed all the duties assigned to him
and had very seldom requested leave Of
absence. He made the point that no
showing of the kind contemplated could
have any bearing upon the patients
present condition of health and the
board sustained his objection.
Two of the witnesses whom Colonel
Stewart asked to have ordered to
Washington were Lieutenant r. NJ. Bar
ton of the Fifth cavalry and Chaplain
Chase of the same regiment, both of
whom took horseback rides with Cole
mel Stewart last September Latimer
said that both. would testify that his
client had shown no i'll effects from
these rides.
Latimer made a request that
Colonel Stewart should be permitted
to make the so mile ride required by
the military authorities and to follow
it with the walk which is required
as an alternative for the ride, but the
request was denied. The board will
meet again tomorrow.

SANTA BARBARA, Oct. S.-Judge
James of Los Angeles today set aside
the four indictments recently found by
the grand jury charging County Su-
pervisor ]. F. Frick with the embez-
element of county funds. The ground
for the motion OF the defense

of some grand jurymen. Frick was

The case viii not again go to the
grand jury and unless some one makes
complaint no further action will be
taken against the supervisor.
Frick's case was handled by former

city. 1t was shown by the testimony
OF grand 5urymen examined today that
the six were disqualified from serving
on the jury, and one member declared
that he had fixed opinion of Frick's
guilt when he became grand juror.
Nothing was left for Judge James to
do except grant the motion setting
asides the indictments. This is the
second batch of indictments set aside
on the motion of Frick within a year.
Last October a technicality invalidated
six indictments. Frick is a candidate
