The court-martial of Lieut.. Frank
Taylor Evans. son of Rear Admiral
Evans, which took place in Manila
Bay before the departure of the Fleet
for Japan. resulted In verdict of
guilty upon a majority of the counts
and the offending officer was sentenc-
ed to loss of $50 numbers. The
most serious charge against the
young officer. that of intoxication
while on duty, was not proved and
the court-martial found him not
guilty on that count. There remain
ed the charges that he had left the
deck while in charge of 1t and that
he had used disrespectful language
to his superior officers and upon both
of these he was found guilty. Evans
friends claim that when the charge
of intoxication failed there remained
but little against him and that the
sentence. which sets the young mal
back for four years. was excessive.
They say that the court-martial tried
Evans not on the specific counts
charged against him but for all of
the past oifenses alleged against
him. The papers in the case have

! again renew my recommendation
that officers and civilian employees
serving In the field be allowed one ra-
ton each per day. Under present
conditions no provision is made for
the subsistence of officers ordered in
to the field--and usually hurriedly-
when all their time and attention
should be given to their military du-
ties. IL rations were furnished them
In the field, 1t would then be unnec-
essary to take along large list of
sales stores, overtaXlng traaaYorta-
ton and hampering to that extent the
mobility of the troops, labor would
be saved In handling such stores,
there would be fewer for deteriora-
ton or loss. the matter of accounta-
bility would be greatly simplified,
and the whole arrangement would be
more on business and fighting ba-
sis. II would require the authority
Of law to make issues OF rations to
officers, and 1t Is hoped that the Sec
rotary of War will give the matter
favorable consideration and bring it
to the attention of Congress.
The report concludes with the re-
newal of the recommendation for the
organization OF service corps in the
Army and an account of General
Sharpe's investigation made last sum-
mer of the supply departments of Eu-
ropean armies.

LEvEe BOARD OFFICIAL SHOT
Two Theories Are Advanced % to
Cause of Tragedy.

Tuuica, Miss. Percy NJ Houston,
recently elected secretary aud treasurer
of the lazoo- Mississippi levcc board,
was shot and ain ost instantly killed by
J. I. Lowe, prominent attorney, at 8
O'Clock this afternoon. Only one shot
was fired, the ball striking Houston in
the temple and entering his brain,
causing death within fifteen minutes.
The tragedy occurred in the presence
OF more than fifty people.
Two treorics OF the shooting are sd-
yanced. one is that the killing WAS
the outgrowth OF quarrel growing
out of the election Of ID. \. Scott as
president and Houston As secretary and
trrasr-~r Of the levcc board and the
investigation into that election ordered
by Gov. Noel, while the other Is that
the killing was the result OF words be-
ginning in a joke, which rufiled the
feelings of both men and led to the
firing of the fatal shot

Five Million of Amount From Meter
Juggling.

Chicago. - Superintendent McCourt
OF the water bureau today reported the
amount lost to the city through the
scandals in the bureau as 80, SOC, 900 in

OF this sum s5,00O,000 was lost

lation of water meters and false read
ings of them by city employees. An
other $1,000, 900 represents the loss from

The sum of 81, 800. 900 is what the city
has lost by the thefts OF tho men in the
water bureau, the waste OF material by
them and the carelessness of officials
who were in charge OF the bureau.

A movement has been launched
among the prominent planters of Mis-
sissippi whose property is adjacent to
the levee lines, to induce congress to
make an appropriation for the purpose
OF building shelter mounds. During
the high water periods thousands OF
cattle and other animals are drowned
because Of the inability OF owners to
get them to places Of safety when the
levee breaks, and the plan in view Is TO
have mounds built at stated distances,
the crests of which will be above tho
highwater mark, and where the live
stock and human beings can take shelter.
The sensational arrest of J. w. Will
son, n news butcher on q train at
Clarksdale almost caused panic among
the passengers. Three deputy sherirs
with drawn pistols forced the engineer
and conductor to stop the train just as
IL was pulling out of the station, and
boarding the smoking car, they ar
rested Wilson, charging him with re-
failing liquor within the city limits.
Nine bottles OF whisky were found In
his satchel. Wilson was fined $50.

versary of the birth OF Jefferson Davis,

peated dreams that there was pot Of

tinued recurrence OF these visions that
he determined to make an investiga-
tion, and securing a pick and a shovel
he went to work. At 4 depth OF ~ fee,
his pick struck something hard, and
his heart leaped with JOY when he

TO have been made alright by use Of
sealing wax, such as is used in canning
fruit in the country. The money was
all in twenty dollar gold pieces, and in

there is no one to claim the money. It
had evidently been buried before the
war.
