Try COmmandant
Charges of Graft Against
Government and Usury
Among Officers and Men.

Washington, Sept. Announcement
was made by special orders of the war
department today, that by direction of
the president, the general courtmartial
has been appointed to meet at Fort
Wayne, Michigan, September 10, 1908,
for the trial of such cases as may be
brought before it. The fact that the
personnel of the court comprises some
of the officers of highest rank in the
army indicated that officers of high
rank are to be placed on trial.
While the orders contained no inti-
nation of the identity of the cases to
be tried, but it was learned that one
is Col. Daniel Cornman of the seventh
infantry, commandant of Fort Wayne.
He is one of the ranking colonels of
the army and under the law 1t is nee
essary that the court martial be made
up of officers of superior or equal rank
with the accused. The officers consti-
tuting the court are Major General
Frederick ID. Grant, president; Briga-
dier Generals Albert L. Myer. Earl d.
Thomas, Chas. Morton, Ramsay d.
Potts and John b. Kerr land Colonel
Henry O. S. Heist, George o. Green
ough. Chas A. II. Hatfield, Jos. p.
Dorst, of the third cavalry, George S.
Anderson, of the general staff, George
Andrews, adjutant general with Cap
tain Chas. r. Rowland of the 21st in
fantry as judge advocate.
A report reached the war department
that through the influence of a sub
ordinate officer at Fort Wayne, a
dealer had supplied mounts to certain
officers at the post at one dollar each.
Thereafter the officers drew from the
government. forage for the horses thus
supporting them at the expenses of
the United States, although the ami
mails did not actually become the per-
sonal property of the officers. 1t was
also reported that usury was being
practiced at Fort Wayne, not only
among the officers, but among the en-
listed men.
After a report by board of inquiry,
charges We're preferred against Col.
Cornman. II is understood Col. Corn
man denies all knowledge of the trans
actions. but it is held that even If he
has no knowledge of them he ought to
have had and ought to have put a stop
to them.

was witnessed by many residents of
the Islands and a hearty welcome was
accorded the officers and men. Except
on several occasions when the tow
lines parted or became so chafed that
alterations or stoppages were required,
the fleet maintained the one point
echeion formation taken outside the
harbor of san Francisco. The des-
troyers Preble and Perry We're towed

DISTRUST WAS FELT
BY THE SPECTATORS
There Was a Break in American Smelt
ing and a General Reduction.

New York, Sept. 2.-The tone of
speculation in stocks today showed a
degree of distrust and hesitation. That
feeling, based on the heights TO which
prices had carried already. found ex-
preston in refraining from further
buying or bidding up stocks more than
in any active attempts to get them
lower.
London and Berlin are reported large
buyers of stocks here today, this being
an important factor in the early
strength of the market. The price of
copper was marked down in the New
York metal exchange and this with a
poor showing in the annual report of
the American Smelling company. made
copper shares vulnerable to pressure.
American Smelling broke with some
violence and the whole list sold off.
Remnants of advances were left In the
strongest stocks.

one at Atkinson Park yesterday but il
was enough to make up for the alb
sence of other games and the fans who
had collected to watch the youngsters
play, were delighted.
The Bulletins managed to whitewash
the Giants but, had it not been for an
error by the Giant third baseman, the
game would have gone past the ninth,
AS it was they scored only one run and
thus tied with the Giants for the cham
pionship of the present series.

acknowledged to be the legitimate con
