Maj. Darlington came under the
Jurisdiction of the insular courts as a
result of his transfer for temporary
duty from the Twenty-first infantry
to the command of battalion Of
Filipino scouts. He commanded this
battalion at the time it was brought
to ST. Louis in 1903, to take part in
the exposition.
The charges against him were
based on financial operations which
took place at that time. Many of his
brother officers insisted that the diff
ficulties in which he became involved
were the result of carelessness rather
than criminal intent. The evidence
against him, however. was sufficient
to cause his court-martial and conse-

the welfare of the clerks and the
business interests of the government
could be promoted so far as the vol
ume Of work was concerned, by regu-
lating the hours of labor according to

that the plans which have been ad-

turb banking and commercial condi-

pealed to the president. However, in
view of the fact that the government
could not compel financial and COM
mercial houses to adjust themselves
to the proposed change. and the
further consideration that the busi-
ness OF the post office department
would be vitality affected. entailing a
change of schedules upon all rail-
roads, caused the administration to
decide not to attempt to encroach
upon the prerogatives Of Father Time
and for the present at least there will
be no change in the daily routine of
the government clerks.
