PRESIDENT COMMUTES
CHAPLA|N'S SENTENCE
DaIIam Suspended From Duty,
Instead of Dismissed From
Army for INSTRUMENTATION.

General orders were issued today in
regard to the case Of Chaplain John E.
Dallam, 10Th Infantry, which has been
pending before the military authorities
in the Philippines, the War Department
and the President for many months
Chaplain Dallam was convicted by court
martial convened at Rizal, in the Philip
pines, of charges involving disobedience
of orders and behaving with disrespect
toward his commanding officer. The
court sentenced him to be dismissed the
service Of the United States.
The specifications under the two charges
were to the effect that Chaplain Dallam
willfully disobeyed a lawful command
from his superior officer, Maj. j. A.
Penn. 10Th Infantry. to make out imme-
diately his Individual service report, and
that when questioned by Maj. Penn as
to his failure to do as ordered without
further delay, said: 'I will not do SO.
am in rebellion against all military au-
thority."
The record of the case having been
submitted to the President for his action,
ne confirmed the sentence, but commuted
to suspension from duty and from the
lnctions of his office, with forfeiture OF
all pay and allowances for a period of
six months.
6uC1t1eu TO O1cueuCys
An examination of the record" said
the President, makes it clear that the
msubordination grew out of conviction
in Chaplain Dallams mind that a con-
spiracy was on foot among his superior
officers to discipline him because of his
religious belief, and that he became des-
perate in his attitude. l do not think that
all Of his superior officers used the
greatest tact in dealing with him. but he
certainly was guilty Of the charge Of dis
obedience. For this he merits punish
ment. and he does not himself oppose
this view. He pleaded guilty. He asks
clemency. TO that / believe him entitled
Except in the unfortunate discussion over
his religious belief, and his change from
one church to another, Chaplain Dallam
has been a model chaplain and a good
soldier. His record is exceptionally good.
and, from the showing made, l regard
him as having before him a career OF
great usefulness in the army
Chaplain Dallam is from Minnesota, and
served In the ranks of the 18th Minnesota
Volunteer Infantry from May, 1S9S, to
May, 1899. In July, 1904. he was appoint
ed chaplain in the regular army, and
was assigned to the 18th Infantry. At
that time he was member of the EpiS-
copal Church. Subsequently he Identified
himself with the Unitarian Church. He
has been in this city for the past two
weeks.

President Taft Told That Rev.
oIution Will Triumph.
OF MINING MAN
Tennesseean Sent to White House by
Andrew Carnegie.
THINKS POWERS MUST ACT
Fears Peace May Be Delayed for
Years Unless There Is Inter
vention by Outsiders.

That the situation in Mexico is far
more critical than generally understood,
and that the people of the United States
are badly misinformed as to the extent
and scope Of the revolution there, was
told to President Taft today by an Amer
lean, J. NJ. Bishop of Tennessee. who was
sent to the chief executive by Andrew
Carnegie. The story made deep i'm
preston upon the President, 1t is said,
and what its ultimate effect will be can
not be foreshadowed.
Mr.. Carnegie's interest in the informa-
tion of Mr.. Bishop is his desire for peace
and the hope that pressure may be used
with Mexico, if necessary, to end the
struggle in the republic to the south of
the United States.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-04-01
Engaged in Mining.

Mr.. Bishop has for years been engaged
in mining in the state Of Sonora. He
left Mexico three weeks ago, after the
railroad bridges had been so badly dam
aged that mining and other business
was no longer possible. owing to lack of
transportation.
To Star representative Mr.. Bishop,
who was accompanied to the White
House by Representative Austin. made
substantially the same statement he made
to the President.
''The insurrection will eventually sue
ceed." said Mr.. Bishop. IF peace can
be brought about by concessions from
President Diaz and the other authorities
of Mexico it will simply mean that it
will come many months, and probably
years, before It otherwise would. II the
Mexican congress meets and votes an ap-
preparation to continue the war. 1t will
merely serve to inf1ame the revolutionists
and add to their strength. The plain
truth is that 80 per cent Of the people
OF Mexico are in sympathy with the in
surrectos, and If the issue Is forced they
will iOin the fighters.

American Property Protected.

THE officers of the insurrectos have
been very careful to protect American
property. but business il dead when trans
portatiOn is no longer probable.
Il see no chance for the resumption Of
business for months, probably years, un-
less the Mexican government comedies
most 'of the demands Of the Insurgents.
1t seems to be that the United States,
England Germany and other govern
ments vitality interested will soon find it
necessary to use some pressure on the
Mexican government to bring the revolu-
ton to a stop. OF course, I know that
the Monroe doctrine prohibits foreign in
reference, but moral suasion is often as
successful as armed force and everything
should be done that will show the Mex
lean government the futile course it is
pursuing in not yielding to such demands
Of the inSurrectOS as are supported by
overwhelming sentiment among the Mex
lean, people"

Diaz's Minority Supporters.

'"The remaining 10 per cent is the same
element that has been supporting the
Diaz government for years. 1t is the
landed aristocracy and the officeholders.
AS enlightenment has come TO the Mex
leans. They have begun to realize the great
injustice Of practically all the lands be-
ing in the hands of the few, while nearly
everybody else belongs to the peon class,
simply the slaves of the rich. The ideals
of the insurrectos are the ideals Of the
American people. They are struggling
for the same rights we struggled for
years ago, and they will get them in the
end. The insurrectos can fight on in
definitely. not only because the Mexican
government cannot recruit its regiments
among the people except by force. a dam
gerous thing to do, but because the very
mountains themselves lend assistance to
scattering bands.
Il 90 not know an American in Sonora
or Chihuahua who is not in sympathy
with the insurrectos. owing to the fact
that they are struggling for reforms that
should be granted. That accounts for the
presence of SO many Americans among
the inSurrectoS.

CREW OF JOHN SYLVESTER DISCOVERS FIRE WHEN
 GOING THROUGH DRILL

New York, Aug. 22-While the Unit ed States Steamboat Inspectors were watching the crew of the excursion steamboat John Sylvester of Bridge port going through their fire drill about 3:30 yesterday afternoon fire was discovered among some waste in the engine room and a volume of smoke rolled up out of the hatch. The vessel was bound for Rockaway Beach with 200 passengers on board and was off Fort Hamilton. The crew had the hose run out at the time and it was an easy matter to play on the smoking waste and get the fire under control before any damage had been done
 Women who had children with them became uneasy and Capt. Rfsley put into Fort Hamilton. The John Sykes ter remained there an hour while those passengers who wished to do so, went ashore and at 4:30 she started again for Rockaway, arriving there at 5:30 and leaving at D. m. with 300 pas sengers on board who were landed at the Battery at TAO, the schedule hour for returning

REDUCING TT TO AN ADsURDErY

There is a good dea1 of wisdom sul the proposition from Bridgeport. that unless the legislature takes action that will result in a more liberal Sum- day law, the present regulations be enforced to the letter, and that rscbl as we'll as poor have a chance to 1n-l derstand what i5 70 live under pro-l visions that We're outgr0wn manv1 years ago. The reducti0 ad absur<| dunn way of han Hing the Sunday law if it could be carr-e1 out, would veryl speedily bring +he ma ajorjtv Of tn@1 people of the commonwealth to an ur- derstanding of the Deed of a change. As the law is now enforced 1t only fn- terferes with the pleasures of the few| and leaves the rest 90 do as sheyI please Those who are not in-l terfeyed with haven't enough iuferesf1 pleasure, and the consequences is shafI any attempt at change is voee5I down.
 There are but few people in incl commonwealth of Connecticut who dcI not break the Sunday laws. The1| may not play baseball, but fnSuIze srI various forms of enjoyment that ard contrary to the letter and spirit of fns statute. They do nobody any harrrI and make life very much more enjoy able for themselves, but they bread the law just the same.
 some or the peOp1c WHO 0akS a. f1T1H protest every time there is an at. tempt to libersIize the law enssgs f occupation on Sunday that cannot d properly excused on the ground o necessity or mercy. but they are ver quick to resent others following thsf choice in an attempt to get a chanzz from the daily grind.
 There is a good deal Of rzn hypocrisy about the Sunday law qusz tion, and the sooner it is ended fz better. It is not nessary to spoil tf day of rest to make it legal to q things that are permitted in vioIat5o of law and the present state of affair cannot last very much longer
 Enforce the Sunday laws to the Is1 ter and it won't be many weeks be fore a great many persons. who are present very much concerned abo1 the sanctity of the first day of fz week will be anxious for a c5arz and that seems to be about the on way to break down the walls of prz iudice and se1fishness.-New Have Times Leader.
