Officer Has Been III.

Washington, Oct. 13.-For some time Colonel Tucker has been i'll. and quite recently the War Department extended for two months leave of absence of three months. which just expired. The Colonel was then ordered to the Gov ernnlent hospital at Hot Springs. for observation and treatment, Presum- ably he was on his way to that place when arrested.
 In June of last year the troubles be- tween Colonel Tucker and his wife were brought to the attention of the War Department. and Mrs. Tucker made application for investigation of the conduct of her husband at Manila and between Manila ana Chicago.
 Ordinarily the War Department does not take up the question of domestic infellcity but this case Secretary Taft referred to the Inspector General of the Army to investigate certain rep. reseptations made by Mrs. Logan. Mrs. Fuckers mother. and Mrs Tuck CT.
 General Darlington, the Inspector. General spent some time in Manilain investigating the case and preparing q report, but no action so far as IS known was taken by the War Depart ment
 The Department was. not consulted in any way regarding the latest de- yelopment in the case reported from Decatur.
 Mrs. John A. Logan today stated that neither she nor Mrs. Tucker knew anything concerning the arrest of Colonel William F. Tucker. her daugh- ter's husband but that she was glad of it, She declared that she and her daughter had borne the Outrageous treatment of Colonel Tucker up to this time in silence except that they had appealed to the War Department to have him courtmartialed.
 For some reason" she said, "the War Department will not take up 8 case like this against an officer. They have attempted to force us to bring divorce proceedings against Colonel Tucker but that we will never do.
 T want to have the world know about this disgraceful conduct" Mrs. Logan said. ''in order that other poor women who have been saddened by the conduct of their husbands in the Philipines may have some protection. In civil life such things could not go on but In the army 1t is different"
 Mrs. Logan declared that the charges against Colonel Tucker had been back ed m by sworn statements and she co,,ld not understand why evidence of '.conducr unbecoming an officer and gentleman should be ignored py the army.

WOMEN OF LEXINGTON.
Destroy W. a. Lancasters Stock Of
Whiskey.

Lexington, Tenn, April A.
Quite sensation was caused here
this morning at about 10 o'clock,
when a delegation of ladies be-
longing to the local w. G. I. U.
and number of citizens went to a
car on sidetrack and destroyed a
large quantity of whiskey belong
ing to Mr.. w. H. Lancaster, a
former saloon keeper of jackson,
but who is resident of this
place.
After the saloons ceased doing
business at jackson, Mr.. Lancas-
ter moved-his stock to this city, it
having arrived here yesterday af-
ternoon on the local freight.
The ladies, with a few citizens,
congregated and communicated

the ground.
City Recorder John w. Stewart
was present and kept an inventory
as it was handed out. There were
twenty odd gallons in jugs and
much which had been put up in
quart, pint and half-pint bottles,
all of which were said to be short
measure"
The value of the liquor des-
troyed amounted to about 1869. 1t
is said to be the intention to pay
for the liquor, but Mr.. Lancaster
stated that he desired to be paid
for the damage that was done in
stead of for the liquor, as it would
be against the law for him to sell
it.
The people were determined
that this whiskey should not be
stored in Lexington, and declare
they will now put a finish to the
unlawful selling which has been
going on 50 boldly for some time
past,
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1908-04-10

with Mr.. Lancaster over the tele-
phone. They asked him to meet
them for a conference, which he
did. He then informed those who
were present that they were med
ding with business not their own,
that the liquor was his property,
that he couldn't afford to lose it,
that it was for the benefit of his
wife and children and that he had
to look after them first Of all.
Mrs. w. I. Harvey, a promi-
nent local w. q. I. U. Worker,
said that she heard that he desired
to quit the business and that they
proposed to help him and she de-
manded that he put his whiskey at
some other place than Lexington,
where it was more needed.
Mr.. Lancaster was asked how
much whiskey he had and he re-
piled, twenty or thirty gallons;
mabe more, maybe less.
A proposition was then made to
purchase the liquor SO it could be
destroyed, but Mr.. Lancaster re-
fused and explained that it was a
violation of the law to sell it.
At this juncture, the crowd,
which numbered about thirty-hve
or forty persons, mostly ladies,
headed by Rev. j. M. Pickens,
pastor of the Methodist Church,
went to the depot. Among the
crowd were the following we'll
known residents: Mayor G. G.
Gathings and wife, Rev. E. M.
Cole, the Baptist minister, W. H.
Montgomery and wife, Mrs.
Brown, Messrs. George Deberry,
A, S. Stanford, L. Ray, j. D.
Stewart, j. Scales and many 9th
ers.
Upon their arrival at the depot,
an investigation was made and the
liquor was discovered in the freight
car. Mayor Gathins and Rev. E..
M. Cole entered the car and hand
ed the liquor to the eager crowd
on the outside. Mrs. Harvey was
handed the first bottle, and she in
turn gave it to Mayor Gathings'
wife, who Immediately smashed it
to pieces.
The handing out of the booze
and its destruction continued until
every drop had been poured upon
