COURT-MARTIAL LECTURED.
Gen. Grant Calls Verdict "Miscar
rage of Justice"

4 general court-martial. which recent
ly convened at Plattsburg barracks,
y. Y. has been severely reprimanded
by Gen. Grant. commanding the De-
partment Of the East for what he calls
"a miscarriage of Justice
The case was that of Private Calvin
Gould of the 9TH Infantry. who was con-
victed of fraudulent enlistment. and SEN
fenced to be confined at hard labor for
six months. In his review of the pro-
ceedings of the court, Gen. Grant said
he could not concur in its action
"A man who will abandon his wife and
child and, by means Of false oath, Sc
cures a fraudulent enlistment, cannot be
trusted to fulfil his obligations as a
soldier The department commander be-
lieves that the retention OF such a man
in uniform is wrong. not only to the
good reputation of the service, but also
to the self-respecting soldiers who must
now of necessity associate with him.
Furthermore. the reviewing authority
must most emphatic disapprove of the
policy adopted by the court that a sol
der in confinement is emitted to receive
the same compensation as soldier oc-
cupying the honorable status of duty.
The sentence, being both inadequate and
improper, is therefore disapproved.
.:As a result Of this miscarriage of jus
tice. Private Gould will be released from
confinement and restored to duty

SUNKEN BARGE RAISED.
The Brandywine lowed to George,
town by the Tug Camilla.

The barge Brandywine, which was
raised by wreckers after being sunk for
ten days on the Virginia side Of the
Georgetown channel. near the Long
bridge. was yesterday taken to George
town by the tug Camilla and berthed at
the gashouse wharf to complete the un-
loading of her cargo of coal More than
half the coal that was in the vessel was
taken out of her by the wreckers while
she was under water, and loaded on
sand-carrying lighters to be taken to
Georgetown, but several hundred tons
we're still aboard when she was lifted
from the bottom of the river. Temporary
repairs have been made to the bow of
the vessel, which was badly injured by
running into the stone pier of the bridge
and as soon as the coal is removed she
will be taken to a shipyard to have new
bow placed upon her. Whether the work
will be done at Alexandria or at a bay
shipyard has not yet been determined by
her owners, the Southern Transportation
Company of Philadelphia. The wrecking
holster and other outfit which was used
by Capt Broom in raising the barge is
being made ready to be taken back to
Baltimore by one of the tugs of the S. T.
Co. fleet.

SOLDIERS WORK LIMITED.
Special Events in Which They May
Take Part Defined.

a new policy has been adopted by the
War Department with respect to the at
tendance of regular troops on various
indicated occasions.
Whenever practicable troops will be
permitted to participate in camps of in
struction with organized militia, in ma
tional celebrations of a purely patriotic
nature commemorating important his
toric events. in expeditions to which gov
eminent aid has been extended and in
military tournaments that are exclusive
~ and strictly military in character and
are not combined with any other kind Of
celebration or entertainment.
Such tournaments will take place during
the odd-numbered years only and will
not exceed one for each such year in
any territory department. Requests for
troops to participate in any other kind OF
celebration, in state county fairs, car
nivals festivals. reunions and celebra
tons of a local or commercial character,
except as noted, will be denied
Wherever troops are stationed in cities
or in the immediate vicinities thereof,
and where long custom has involved their
participation in celebrations OF a local
character, department commanders may
authorize troops to participate in such
celebrations in accordance with we'll eS-
tablished custom, whenever participation
does not involve absence from their gar
risons over night, loss of more than one
day from their usual duties or any ex-
pense to the government

TO PUNISH DISCRETION.
Gen. Pershing Would Make the Pen
alty More Severe.

Drastic punishment of desertion is
recommended by Gen. Pershing, COM
manding the Philippine department OF
Mindanao. THE crime of desertion,
saws he in a report to the War Depart
ment, has been the subject OF discus
sion for years, but it continues practi-
cally unababted. 1t has become SO COM
mon that it is often looked upon as
trivial offense Public opinion needs to
be educated to view desertion as serious
crime, and the deserter as criminal
devoid of honor or patriotism. The act
i've interest Of officers might go far to
prevent this crime. A large field of per-
sonal cndeavor is open to them In i'm
pressing the enlisted recruit with the
gravity of the offcnse. Another means
Of checking desertion would be TO make
the punishment so severe that men would
shrink from taking the chance. This
would also serve to forcibly present to
the soldiers mind the enormity Of the
crime.
..'rhe minimum punishment under any
circumstances should he five years i'm
prisonment with forfeiture Of all rights
of citizenship.

HEDGING SALES IS
 CAUSE OF DECLINE
In Spite of Export News Closing Prices Showed
 Falling Off

Chicago, July 19zA resistless stream of hedging sales from the high cash houses carried the wheat market down today despite news that exports amounted to the total of 134 boat loads. Clos ing prices were easy at 14d$sc to 1lsc de- cline. Corn finished 9sd34c to 7s11c down, oats off %d7sc to %c, and hog products varying from 5c lower to Dc advance.
 Latest trades in wheat were at nearly the undermost level of the session Pres sure of actual receipts outweighed all else. Primary arrivals reached 1,75S, COG bushels, against 702.00O on the correspond- ing day year ago. A slight early rise because the weather northwest seemed of a sort that would bring about a spread of rust made the market a tempting tar get for hedgers. There were rallies later but the effects soon vanished. One req son was that a failure in Minneapolis had resulted in liquidating sales there. A Winnipeg led to additional weakness. Be- tween the opening and the close Septem- Der ranged from s6s4o to SsdSs1sc and in the end was %c net lower at S7c even.
 A heavy rain locally and throughout the state gave courage to short sellers of corn. The downturn in wheat also was a source of help for the bears, notwithstand- ing that some of the larger specuators had taken to the buying side m view of the light receipts. September Huctuated between 62a4@627sc and 64a4c, closing weak, 7sd1c below last night at 62a49G27sc. Cash grades were depressed No. 2 yellow finished at 64a4@65Ac
 Oats sagged owing to large offerings from the country. Eastern call, more- over, was not so vigorous. High and low points were 43d431sc and 41asc, with the close 7sc down at 415sc.
 Provisions seesawed. None of the changes were sufficient to cause anybody to worry.

NEW ORLEANS NEWS
 BOYS WIN STRIKE

New Orleans, July 19.-After mass meeting yesterday afternoon, in which tho news boys voted to continue the strike against the afternoon papers because or
 an increase fn prices, the boys salled forth from their meeting place and kept
 the street department busy sweeping torn newspapers from downtown streets Many
 news stands unguarded by police were raided.
 | Headed by a brass band they paraded the streets last night, taking up collec- tions to aid in maintaining the strike. | The Item and States issued statements this morning explaining increase to 3 cents was made in the interest of the | boys who are enabled to make a profit of l11a cent on each paper sold, whereas only d penny profit was possible at the old 1 price.
 | The boys objected, however, and voted l to keep up the strike. Before midnight last night they were looking for one of their leaders who is said to have had $50 strike fund in his keeping. | The strike was declared off this after noon and the boys resumed their street cries. Both afternoon papers increased the street sale price from to cents, the newsies getting them for half price.

COTTON TAXES
 FURTHER TUMBLE 
  Further Liquidation Is Re- spOnsible for Another
 Sensational Decline

New York, July f9.-A continuation of further sensational decline in the cotton market today, and for the first time in nearly teo years January contracts broke through the 12-cent level. selling at S9c, or nearly $9 per bale below the recent high record, while July cotton touched 13.28c and August 12.S9c, net losses of from 42 to 45 points and declines of s3.30 and $4.z5 per bale. comparing with the high records of last May. The close was from the lowest, last prices showing a net
 loss of from F to 42 points.
 The marekt opened steady at decline of points to an advance of 3 points. Early cables had been considerably bet ter than due and there were quite good many buying orders around the ring at the start, but later cables showed weak ness in the near months and right after the call old crop positions here weakened also under heavy liquidation, attributed to the leading old crop bulls. July soon broke to 132Sc and August to 13c, or be- tween 34 and 42 points under the closing figures of last night. The new crop also weakened under general liquidation and Southern selling, but sold only to 12 points net lower before the decline was checked by trade buying, profit taking by local shorts and operations for a reaction. Buyers, however, forced the market up only or points from the lowest and while there was nothing fresh in the way of news. a renewal of liquidation during the noon hour caused another sharp break which carried prices into new low ground, with August selling off to 12.s9c and the new crop to about the 12c level with active months generally showing a loss of from 20 to 45 points compared with last nights close. Traders were again large buyers on this break and with the assistance of shorts covering caused a rally of 8 to 9 points on the new crop positions but there seemed to be lit tie improvement in general sentiment and many predictions were heard of still lower prices before the market became settled. Weather conditions In the south showed little change and beyond complaints of boil weevll or too much rain in the cen traI belt, there seems to be little fault found with the crop outlook.
 Receipts of cotton today, 1544 bales, against 655 last week and 10 ,398 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans. 1355 bales, against 3650 last year.

Coffee Market

New York, July 19-The market for coffee futures opened steady at de- cline of 1 point on September but gen. erally to points higher on covering by recent sellers and a renewal of bull support which appeared to be encour- aged by steadier European cables and reports that today firm offers from Brazil were steady at unchanged prices. The official Brazilian cables confirmed reports of lower Brazilian markets yes terday and showed heavy receipts, but the movement removed slightly under last year and the market continued firm during the later trading with prces at net advance of to l5 points.
