troops from their posts to the maneu-
yer division. where the duty approx
mated that of active field service.
However. General Crowder believes
that the principal cause for the reduc-
ton has been the growth Of the opin-
ion that minor attractions of dis
cipline can be punished better by sum-
mary discipline than by subjecting the
offender to formal trial.
With view to lessening the num-
Der OF trials the department will col
lect statistics as to the percentage OF
trials for the coming year at each
army post. The judge advocate ex-
presses the opinion that unnecessary
trials can be averted by an announce
ment by the war department that it
considers the ultimate responsibility
for summary court trials rests with
the post and regimental commanders
and not with company commanders.
Discharge without honor in every
case Of desertion from the army is to
be discouraged by the war depart
ment. Each case Is to be treated on
its merits, and In some instances it is
believed offenders may be retained in
the service and developed into good
soldiers after punishment by confine-
ment and forfeiture of pay. Leniency
probably could be extended in such
cases as desertion in the earlier Pc
Rod Of enlistment and where soldier
surrenders promptly or shows a dis
position to atone for his offense

FATE AND THE FLETcHERs
Intervention That Made It Certain
Hour for Senator's Death Had
Not Struck.

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Flor
ida sought his berth one night on a
sleeping car on the way south from
Washington. Pulling back the cur
tains of lower nine, he saw that his
bed was already occupied.
Hi, there!" called the senator,
shaking the stranger by the shoulder.
The sleeper awoke and protested
angrily.
My names Fletcher" explained
the statesman, "and this is my berth"
You've got nothing ON me-" an
sWered the other. MY names Fetch
er, and this is my berth"
MY full name is Duncan y. Fetch

SOS mine" agreed the intruder.
An, see," said the senator, po-
htely. There must have been mis-
take in reserving the same berth for
two men of the same name. "Tll go
into the next sleeping car
The stranger, by this time, was fully
awake, and proceeded to apologize,
and to offer to give up the berth. This
the senator would not do, but went
into the car ahead, and found a place
to sleep.
An hour later the train was wreck
ed. The car in which the stranger
occupied the lower nine fell through
trestle, and that Fletcher was
killed The senator's car was not
damaged at all.-Popular Magazine.

developed into great governmental

The most sensational incident was
the simultaneous publication Of let
tiers passing between George r..
Sheldon and Mr.. Roosevelt. Copies
of these letters were distributed
last night among assembly district
leaders at the meeting of the Re
publican county committee, and the
general opinion was that the letters
we're meant to be an important
part in the Colonel's hunt for Pres
idential delegates.
Col. Roosevelt himself gave out
for publication copies of the letters
which passed between him and Shell
don concerning the Hartman fund.

SHOT DOWN HUSBAND. ---.

Sandwich, ILL.,, Dec. 24.-on the
eve of Christmas Day a pitiful trag-

in its carriage, Mrs. Fred Feazel
fred two shots from a revolver into
the head of her HUSBAND, Fred
Feazel, manager of a dry goods
store in this city.
She went to a telephone and call
ed for his brother to come over
quickly, and then went back into
the room where the body of her hus-
band lay, fired a bullet into her tenn
pie and fell dead across his body.
Ever since the birth Of her baby
Mrs. Feazel displayed signs Of in
sanity, and at times would have
nothing to do with the care of the
little one, and often left it 10 her
mother. Of her husband she was
extremely jealous, and at various
times made the threat that she
would not die without her husband.
They we're at the breakfast table
and had completed the meal, when
Feazel arose and went into another
room where the baby was. After
kissing the little one goodbye, he
turned to go to the store. AS he
took a few steps with his back to
his wife, she fired.
