When House Bill No. 90, providing
for the building of roads in settlement
lands was considered on second read
ing, Senator Fairchild took the stand
that the substitution of the word
"may" for shall" weakened the en-.
tire bill. and would place the discre-
tionary power in the hands of the Com
missioner of Public Lands. Fairchild
declared that the present land laws
were defective, and that they left too
much discretionary power in the hands
of one who could "thwart the will of
the people by the exercise of his pre-
negatives, -
"We should he careful in consider,
ing the wording of measures of this ma.
ture,i' he said. "The laws leave much
to be desired at the present time and
if we are going to tamper with them
at all it should be for the better"
Further action on the bill was post,

APPROVED BY
the PRESIDENT
Final Order For the Dismis.
sal of Seven Cadets.
HAzING 0FFENSE CHARGED

Cadet Rolsndo Sutton, Brother OF the
Late Lieutenant Sutton Of the Ma.
rine Corps, Was the Victim, and
His Tact and Loyalty to His Eel
low Cadets Won Him High Popu-
larty at West Poin.--Whst the
Hazers Did to Sutton.
West Point, N. Y, Aug. 20.-The
rumors of suspension and expulsion
that have buzzed about the United
States military academy for the last
two months found official confirma-
tion in a final order, signed by the
secretary of war and approved by the
president, for the dismissal of seven
cadets. 1t il known that the cadets
named are John II. Booker, Jr.. of
West Point, Ga. first class; Richard
w. Hooker. Kansas City, Mo-; Earle
w. Dunmore, Utica, n. Y; Chauncey
G. Deyore, Wheeling. w. Va; Gordon
Defebvre, Richmond, Va; Albert
Crane, Hawarden, Ia, and Jacob s.
Former, Dothan. Ala, all OF the third
class.
The offense charged is hazing. On
the morning OF June IA last Cadet
Rolando Sutton OF the fourth OF plebe
class, a brother of the Lieutenant
Sutton of the marine corps whose
death had been under investigation
by a court Of inquiry. reported sick
and was ordered to the hospital, bad.
ly bruised and suffering great pain.
He did not report for duty again un-
til % days later, and his case imme-
diately became a matter OF concern
to the upper classmen when 1t was
seen that the authorities intended to
: dig TO the bottom of II. Before the
board of investigation which was or
dered Sutton, true to the unwritten
code of the corps, proved most rcti-
cent witness. The board determined,
without the aid of Sutton, on the ca
dets ut fault.
Just what happened to Sutton, who
remains discreetly mute, Is not
known. The broadly.spread under
standing here Is that Sutton was
"booed" by sheeted ghost, and that
when, like a stout-flsted young west.
erner-he was appointed from Ore.
gon-he defended his personal dig
nifty and his duty so effectively that
the ghost was glad to take TO the
woods, relief party of hobgoblins
descended on him with tent pegs and
beat him into subjection. Through
out the investigation Sutton's tact
and loyalty to his fellow cadets have
won him high popularity.

the big splash in the financial pool
created by the arrest of Donald l..

grand larceny, continue to widen, and
reached Charles Katz, president of

broker who approached the trust
company for Joyce, was also indicted.
He has been out on $l2,500 bail,
charged with grand larceny. Another
development was the issuance of a
warrant for Sterling Birmingham, the
trust company's discharged loan
clerk, who is accused of having ac,
cepted a gratuity of $3.50 for putting
the loan through. To accept such a
fee is misdemeanor under the laws
OF this state.
All the men arrested or indicted
thus far have been shown to be close
ly connected with Donald Persch.
who is still prisoner in the Tombs,
unable to raise the $4,000 bail de-
manded. Both Katz and Persch had
desk room in Clark's Office.

The armed inhabitants of Gambia, the
largest city of Crete, rehoisted the
Greek flag in the presence of a squad
OF militia, who we're powerless to pre-
vent the proceedings. A conflict was
averted through the Intervention of

been restored at Gambia.
Later the governor, on the demand

when General Lew Wallace was the
American plenipotentiary IN Constan-
tinople he saw Abdul Hamld ii. at
close quarters--too close for comfort
really-but his involuntary inspection
was decidedly convincing as to the
sultan's timidlty.
1t seems that from the day Of his
presentation to the sultan the general
had grown In favor at the court and
was frequently commanded" to attend
merely from the personal liking Of
Abdul Hamld for the American minis
ter and the enjoyment of conversation
with him. In those days the sultan
was particularly vexed over affairs In
Egypt. He felt that Egypt was his
personal property, yet England had
taken the control of the country out
Of his hands entirely. she had hardly
said "by your leave" but had lad.
vised" him that for the good of Egypt
he. Abdul Hamid H., had better let
her and then had gone ahead.
He had accepted the advice because
he had nothing to say mo" with.
without heet what could any one
say to England! Ihis forced acquies-
cence worried the sultan continuously
until he could not endure longer with
out madness. In his distress be sum-
moned General Wallace and described
to him in detail his humlliating condi.
tion.
