Rincon, n NJ, May 14.-There has

COLONEL STEWART
NOT PROSECUTED
Presidents Friends Assert Unpopular
Army officer Is Being Justly
Dealt With.

Washington, May A.--Light on the
precise attitude taken by President
Roosevelt in the case Of Colonel w.
+. Stewart of the Coast artillery has
been given to certain friends of the
President In Congress and it Is said
that the recent speech OF Senator
Rayner Of Maryland, may be replied
to with vigor. 1t Is explained that in
detailing Colonel Stewart to Fort
Grant, Arizona, without command, the
President has taken the one course
open to him in desiring to avoid any
procedure which might result in the
punishment Of Colonel Stewart by de-
priving him of his pay upon retire
ment
In giving effect to his determination
to eliminate Colonel Stewart from
commanding troops for the good Of
the army, 1t Is explained that the
method adopted by the president is
regarded as the most direct and at the
same time legally justifiable. Should
he, as demanded by Mr.. Rayner order
a board Of inquiry the finding of such
a board would 60 to the President
for review. He might approve or dis
approve the finding and might make
any order with reference thereto which
seemed In his judgment to be war.
ranted.
In his present action the President
has before him according to infor.
nation obtainable, reports from what
he considers equally as competent and
reliable military sources as would re-
suit from a board of inquiry. On these
he has acted and the justification for
his action is declared to be for the
good of the army.
1t Is also pointed out that the Pres
ident has made not the slightest dis.
tinction between the subject Of his ac-
ton when that subject was the negro
soldiers Of the Twenty-fifth Infantry
involved In the Brownsville affair and
when 1t was Colonel Stewart, an of.
ficer and member of an honored Mary.

REFRAIN FROM
ATTACKING PRESIDENT
Socialists in National Convention at
Chicago Table Letter Bitterly
Scoring Roosevelt.

Chicago, May 14.--An open letter
addressed to President Roosevelt, Sc
verely scoring the President for his
alleged disparaging remarks about So
cialists in his last message to Con-
gress. caused lively debate yester-
day afternoon at the Socialist national
convention. The letter was submit
ted by G. A. Koehn of st. Louis, who
asked that 1t be adopted by the con-
vention and that copy of 1t be mailed
to President Roosevelt.
The trouble was started by Chair
man John Spargo, of the committee
on resolutions, who, in making his
report on the resolutions presented to
the committee, tried to omit the read.

dent, with the explanation that the
committee had instructed him not to

statements" contained in it. Several
delegates Immediately objected to this
procedure, protesting against the right

committee to decide for them the
character of any document they had
never heard read. After a spirited
discussion a motion that the letter be
read was carried amid great enthu-
siasm. A long debate followed the
reading.
When the final vote was taken 1t
appeared that majority of the dele.
gates agreed with the leaders who
held that the letter was not proper in
tone nor In diction to be sent from
a national convention to the President

vote refused to sanction it.
1t is expected that the committee

HAS BEST SHOW TO WIN
Attempt of Peerless Ones
Friends to Run Conven-
ton Fails.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 1.-THE Dem
ocratic state convention of Minnesota
met here today for purpose of select
ing delegates at large and district dele
gates to the Denver national conven-
tion. The probabilities are that it
will last throughout the entire day.
The threat of the Bryan men to bolt
and hold rump convention II they
were not accorded recognition either
by the seating Of contested delegates
or by inserting in the platform Il
plank declaring in favor of Bryan as
the second choice, seems to have lost
considerable force during the last for
ty-eight hours. None of the contesting
delegates will be seated. This Is GER
tain. There may, however, be a men-
tion made of Bryan in the platform,
although the Johnston leaders believe
there is no occasion for allnding to
Bryan and will make strong tight
against letting in his name. The
Johnson men are of such overwhelm.
ing strength that they completely dom
mate the situation.
Bryan is Mentioned.
1t was decided by the Johnson men
at the morning session to insert the
name of Bryan in the platform by
declaring that while the Democrats
of Minnesota have much affection for
him and possess great confidence in
his integrity and ability, they favor
Johnson as the man who is equally
worthy and who gives greater prom
ise Of successful candidacy 1t is
certain this resolution will produce a
warm fight on the floor OF We con-
vention and It may be s'rGf9r 'bu.
Bryan's name was inserted in the doc
ument by 7. D. O'Brien, of st. Paul,
chairman of the committee on resolu-
tions and a strong johnson man.

Shreveport, L. May l4.-Seven
persons are known to be dead and
many others are injured as the result
Of tornado which swept across north
western Louisiana late yesterday af.
ternoon. The little town of Gillian,
twenty-five miles north of Shreveport,
was destroyed and the town of Bollin-
ger, on the east side Of the river in
Bessier Parish. was badly wrecked.
Communication with the greater
portion of the storm swept section is
interrupted and 1t Is believed certain
that later reports will increase the
number of dead and injured.
1t is said that the work of destruc.
ton of Gillian was complete, only
two houses remaining intact. The
town had population of 200.
The dead at Gillian are said to be

Arthur Vaughan is said to be badly

Charles Isom and family of six are
reported among the injured.
1t was reported that Oil City in this
