NOT At PUBLIC EXPENSE
WEST POINT OOMMANDANT
MUST OWN HIS AUTO.
Controller Of the Treasury Gives De-
cibion on Question Raised by
Repair Bill.

The controller of the Treasury and the
auditor for the War Department have
had run-in with the quartermas ter s
department OF the army as to whether
Col. II. L. Scott, superintendent of the
Military Academy at West Point, shall
| have an automobile, and the man who
controls the money disbursements of
the government says that Col. Scott can
not have one Of these machines at public
expense.
The controversy arose over an item in
the accounts OF Maj. j. NJ. Carson, ,jr..
quartermaster of the army, allowing
$10SO for the repair of an automobile
FOR the use Of Col. Scott. The automo-
bile belonged to the quarterma sters de-
partment Of the army and is authorised
by law The auartermasters department
sent the machine to West Point to do
duty there. the duty being largely that
of looking after the affairs of Col. Scott.
Charge Made for Repairs.
Then came along the charge for its
repairs. made by Maj. Carson from the
transportation appropriation for the
army. The quartermaster general of
the army rushed to the rescue of Mai.
Carson. He claimed that the machine
was not for the personal private use
of Col. Scott, but for his official pur-
poses as superintendent at West Point.
He had many other things to say in
connection with the matter. showing
resentment that the auditor for the
war Department. had been so unwise
in his decision that the item could not
be paid except from the pockets of
Maj. Carson.
Auditor is Upheld.
Controller Tracewell renders long
decision. upholding the auditor in every
respect. He says that an officer is
entitled by law to such nay and allow
ances as the statutes give him. Be-
cause Col; Scott who is major OF
cavalry. is superintendent at West
Point he is entitled to no more in
allowances than any other officer. There
is no law, says the controller authoriz-
ing the purchase OF an automobile or
its repair for an officer of the army
The automobile he has been using is
an additional allowance not permitted
by the law.

result of long periods Of fasting which
she voluntarily underwent while under
the domination OF Sturdivaat

winter and represented that he had q
divine revelation. He gathered a little
colony Of white women about him and
they seemed to conSider him a sort OF
demi-gcd. He SO fascinated Hilda John

interested in his propoga nda, that she
married him. The police, who were re-
queSted to suppress the sect, discovered
