FIGHT IS PLANNED
BY" EXILE STEWART
Army Officer Will Insist on
Staying in Service, Despite
Boards Ruling.

Col William +. Stewart, the army Of
fcer "exiled" to Arizona by order Of
President Roosevelt. will be ready to
defend his physical fitness 10 remain
on the active list when the retiring
board meets at washington Barracks
Thursday afternoon.
Colonel Stewart was yesterday de-
clared .incapaCitated for active service
on account Of heart disease Of thirty
four years standing by a medical
board composed of Lieutenant Colonel
Arthur and Major Guy /. Edie. Both
Colonel Arthur and Major Edie are not
only members of the medical board. but
members Of the board constituted by
War Department orders to pass finally
upon the question of the "ex1le's" re
tirement.
The fact that these two officers, who
have already, in a report signed by
them as the medical board" will be
called upon to pass upon statements
which they themselves have made and
drawn up. Will be used by Colonel
Stewart in his defense. That these two
officers can be made Judges Of the facts
which they themselves have certified TO.

such a proceeding would be obviously

Unwilling to Talk.

J. w. Latimer, the washington attor-
nev who will conduct the remainder OF
the coIoneTs defense, while not ready
to discuss the case IN all respects, said
this morning that they expect 10 put
UP a strong fight, and outlined the
points which he will emphasize par
ticularIy in presenting his case II the
retiring board
Under the army regulations" said
Mr. Iatimer. THE procedure before re-
firing boards is prescribed first where
the officer desires retirement, anC. sec
end. where the officer wishes 20 cOHilnue
in the service. Where the latter is the
case it is specifically provided that no
officer shall be retired without a full
and fair hearing before an army retiring
board. where he may be repres -nted by
counsel, CrOSs-eNamine the witnesses eX-
amiuod by the board. and to introduce
testimony Of his own.
Case Seems Plain.
Therefore, IL is perfectly plain that it
was not contemplated that the evidence
Of the two medical officers who are
themselves members of the board and
the judges of the fact at issue. should
be conclusive. As Colonel Stewart is
not conscious OF being less fitted for
active service at this time than he has
been during the past forty years. allow
