DEMAND CHANGED
TO MERE REQUEST
PRESIDENT SAYS STEWART Is
NOT FIT TO COMMAND
intimates in Letter to Senator Talia-
ferro That Courtmartal Would
Result in Severe Pun
ishmcnt
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Rayner today called up his joint reso-
luton directing the president TO APP
point q court of inquiry in the case
of Colonel William L. Stewart, and
said that if he could be assured of a
report during the present week he
would not object to sending it to the
committee on military affairs He said
he was willing to change the resolu-
ton, making it merely an expression
of the opinion of the senate, and hav-
ing it a request instead of demand
on the president to appoint COM
mittee on inquiry.
Senator Warren, chairman of the
military committee. said: The resolu-
ton is not only a reproof to the presi-
dent, but it is an attack on the disci-
pline of the army and in a way of
the navy also"
He objected to establishing a prece-
dent by which army orders to officers
may be held up by appealing to sem
ator.
This statement, accompanied by n
motion by Mr.. Warren to refer the
resolution to the military committee,
motion which followed a suggestion
by Senator Aldrich that unanimous
consent be given to consider the reso-
luton at this time. The discussion
was on the motion 10 re1er IL.
Referring to question by Senator
Warren. Senator Rayner admitted he
had informed the president that If the
court of inquiry was not ordered there
would be no recourse for him except
in presenting the matter to the sem
ate.
In a letter to Senator Taliaferro,
which was read. the president took the
position that the appointment of
court of inquiry was a matter entirely
within his discretion and he said that
he neither could, nor would, surrender
the right of deciding that matter as
commander-i n-chief of the army.
Discussing the charge that Colonel
Stewart had been sent to Fort Grant
for punishment, the president said
that the punishment was merely Incl
dental, and that the removal of Colonel
Stewart from direct command was the
principal purpose in view. He re-
marked that it might be necessary to
have him tried by a courtmartial and
expressed the opinion that if it should
be, the trial would result in severe
punishment.
Again remarking upon Colonel Stew
arts characteristics, the president said
that he was unfit for command be-
cause he mistreated the men under
his command and quarreled with civil
ianS.
