CASE OF COZ STEWART.
Rayner Will Champion Colonels

Washington, May 6.--The case of Colonel William F. Stewart will be taken up by the senate unless Presi- dent Roosevelt gives some satisfactory explanation of the reasons for his be- ing exiled to an ungarrisoned post. Senator Rayner has determined to bring the matter up and will offer q resolution calling for all papers, cor respondence and charges relating to the matter.
 In taking this matter Mir Rayner is rendering a personal favor to his dead colleague. Senator William Plnkncy Whyte. of Maryland. The wife of Colonel Stewart is a niece of the late Senator Whyte. and a great-grand- daughter of William Pinkney, fo' whom ATr whyte was named. and a former senator from the state Sen ator Whyte was much devoted to his niece. and AIr Rayner will see that she is given the same protection that could nave been accorded by her uncle if living.
 According to information obtained by Senator Rayner no formal charges have ever been filed against Colonel Stewart. Ills exile was forced with out an investigation or hearing Mr Rayner wrote a letter tO the president requesting that Colonel Stewart be al- lowed q court of inquiry and that he be fully examined. The president re- piled that he would answer this com munication after consulting with some unnamed official in the war department
 No reply has yet been received. and Mr Rsyner Is becoming impatient. He will not wait long before bringing the ease to the attention of the seuate. In discussing the subject. It Is not expected that Mr Ravner will handle the president gently. as in former speeches hc has sharply criticised him for usHrpatiun of power. for govern ing lly executive order and fpr scckin. ta centraIize the government and les sen the rights of tbe Statrz.
 It fs understood that Colonel Stew arf has other friends fn the senate who uili come Co his assistance when fIie matter of his exile ~nmes .gp He uas born in Rhode Island. his father came from Ohio and his mother was native of south Carolina. It is re- garslesi as certain that senator Fora Ser viii lend Mr Rayner a helping hand Wheu the necessity arrives.

PARENTS NOT INFORMED.
Miss Gauthier Orders Operation and
 Parents Worry.

Hartford, May 6.-Abraham Hoff- man of No III North street will to- day seek an explanation of why his II years old son Abe was taken from the Second North school yesterday by Miss Carrie A. Gauthier, the pro bation officer who has charge of ju- yenile cases in the police court, and sent to the Hartford hospital for an operation on his tonsils without his parents knowledge. The Hoffman boy was implicated in a theft last week and put in Miss Gauthier's charge. Yesterday afternoon he failed to return from school as usual and his parents waited for him until g o'clock in the evening, and then inquired at the police station.
 Miss Gauthier's house was called up, but she had retired and some one at the house brought the mes sage from her that she had taken the boy to the hospital for the oper- ation, which will be performed to- day, and made an effort to inform his parents, but did not succeed, and was 'too tired to go and tell them herself" The younger brother. who inquired at the police station, went home and said Abe had been taken to the hospital.
 Then the family. alarmed. made for the police station post haste, thinking the boy had met with an accident. The father was indignant to think that his boy should be taken to the hospital for an operation witn- ont his parents even being informed what was being done. He said that he was not aware that the boy had any throat affection. and wanted to know If she had the right to take him. He will seek the information to-day.
