UNLESS REPR|EVED
Justice Stafford Declines to
Grant Lunacy Hearing on
Appeal.

Andrew Gonzales. cplored wife mur-
derer. must die on the gallows next
Monday unless there is another reprieve
to permit an appeal to the Court Of Ap-
peals from the decision of Justice Staf-
ford in Criminal Court No. / declining
TO grant a lunacy hearing.
Gonzales was taken to Criminal Court
No. 1 today to hear arguments on the
motion for 1unacy hearing. Frequent

Attorney Charles II. Hemans argued
in behalf of the convicted man. submit
ting two letters from Dr. White. super
intendent Of the Government Hospital
for the Insane, in which the alienist ex-
pressed the opinion that Gonzales suf-
fered from a form of insanity caused
by fear Of punishment"
District Attorney Clarence r. Wilson
and Assistant Prosecutor James NJ.
Proctor opposed the motion for lun-
acv hearing. They argued that Con
zaies' present condition does not indi-
cate that he was not responsible for
the crime he committed.

Gonzales has plotted to break jail since
his co:/nement. The fact was brought
out to support the contention that ne

ORDERS To CHANGE
ARMY ORGANIZATION
WILL Be APPROVED
Plan for Concentration of
Troops at Brigade Posts Is
Most important.

Orders changing the organization and
apportionment of the United States
army to conform, generally, to the
recommendations of Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood. chief of staff. will be issued by
Secretary of War Stimson- within a few
days. 1t is probabl the orders will be
signed this week.
The most important change contem-
plated is the concentration of troops at
brigade posts. The wisdom of this plan
was agreed upon by the senior officers
of the army during the conference re-
Gently held here.- The only point Of diff
ference arose In connection with the
time when the change should be made.
the majority favored putting the plan
into execution Immediately.
Maj. Gen. Thomas III. Barry conferred
with Major General Wood today re-
garding details of this plan. The plans
of the staff haze practically been COM
pleted and need only the signature OF
the Secretary of War.
General Mandietta, who had charge
of the Cuban troops which quelled the
recent rebellion in the eastern end OF
the island, also called on officers Of
the department today and was shown
the plans of the most modern fortifica-
tions devised by the army engineers.
The Cuban government has made plans
to spend considerable sums on fortifica-
tions and the United States is willing
to give the island republic the benefit
of its experience.

GAS SUIT ANSWER
READY TO Be FILED
Shareholders Reply to Humes'
Charges and Demand for
Stock Distribution.

An answer to the suit OF Thomas l..
Hume, who seeks to force the distri-
button of $50 shares of stock of the
Georgetown Gaslig;lt Company, now.
standing iH the name of the Washing
ton Gaslight Company. among the
stockholders of the latter corporation,
will be filed in the District Supreme
Court this afternoon or tomorrow.
iar. Hume contends that the dlstribu-
ton OF the stock will perhaps mean
lower gas rates. and under the present
conditions there is an absence OF Co.
operation between the two companies,
with the result that patrons of the
Georgetown Gaslight Company have to
pay a higher rate than gas consumers
in other parts OF the District.
The controversy between the two gas
companies will be aired In the court as
a consequences of the litigation begun
by Mr.. Hume. 1t is claimed by Mr..
Hume and others that the Georgetown
company does not recognize the con-
troll supposed to be had by the Wash
ington Gaslight Company. For that
reason financial interests involved are
equally concerned with patrons of both
companies.

MRS. FLETCHER IN Z
LEAD IN RACE FOR
CLUB PRESIDENCY
She Gets Fifty-seven Votes on
First BaIIot-0thers Are
Scattering.

Mrs. Duncan L. Fletcher received
fifty-seven votes, Mrs Claude Swan
son, thirty-three votes. Mrs. A. ".
Gregg, of Texas, eighteen votes. and
twenty-five voses were divided be-
tween Mrs. Thomas p. Gore. Mrs. VII
liam Sharp. and Mrs. w. P. Borland,
at the Congressional Club today when
nominations We're made and voted oil
for the presidency of the organization.
The vote today makes Mrs. Fletcher
look like the winner at the election in
February unless Mrs. Swanson can en-
LIST behind he nearly all the votes
which went this morning for Mrs
Gregg, Mrs. Sharp. and the others.
The vote as given is unofficial, and it
was stated at the club that the result
would not be announced officially until
ever, that the totals given above for
Mrs. Fletcher, Mrs. Swanson, and Mrs.
Gregg are correct.
The voting on the vice presidencies
is going on this afternoon and as there
are FIVE places and probably fifty can
didates II will be late in the day before
the meeting adjourns.
Mrs. Fletcher and Mrs. Swanson are
now officially nominated as candidates
for election which is to be held Febru-
ary %. But other candldates may De
nominated from the floor that day. ac-
cording to the constitution, and todays
vote is show of strength rather than
anything else. However the friends OF
Mrs Fletcher were jubilant this after
noon over the lead she took in the
vote of today.
The candidacy of Mrs. Gregg was
something of a surprise to many of the
women at the meeting, and at first dis
concerted the other candidates. Friends
of Mrs. Swanson say that Mrs. Gregg $
entry cost her voten which they had
felt assured of and which they other
wise would have received.

ROOT CRITICISED
FOR HIS ATTITUDE
ON CANAL TOLLS
Senators 0'Gorman and New
lands Strongly Oppose Arbi-
tration Plan.
Continued from First Page.)

OGorman, said that there was no ne
cessity for arbitration regarding the
canal tolls. In making this contention,
he said, he would assume even more
than the Senator from New York had
conIended for; ne would assume that
the United States holds the canal in
trust for civilization, and that the canal
was to be regarded as a great interna-
ucnal public utility, through which the
Government of the United States, as its
administrator is bound 10 render the
same service to all nations for the same
price.
Assuming this. 10 be so,'' Mr.. New
lands said, what was the right of the
United States 1t was the right of the
United States to charge the cost Of
operation, maintenance, and interest
upon its enormous investment of s40o,-
Ooo, 900 upon the commerce of the world
in the shape of tolls. 1t was entitled.
therefore. to receive the cost of opera
ton, maintenance, and protection, esti-
mated at $40. .00O, 600, and interest at the
rate of at least per cent upon its sipa.-
charge of 100000 annually against the
commerce of the world"
The reply by the United States. the
draft of which was completed last
week. was forwarded to London by teie-
graph last Saturday. II was read by
the American charge d'affaires, and
Sofs was "
Monday morning.
1t was intended that the reply be
made public Tuesday. occording to a
statement issued by Secretary OF State
Knox, but at the request of Sir Edward
Grey. who desired to transmit 1t to the
British parliament on Thursday, Its
publication was deferred as a matter of
courtesy to the British. government.
Copies OF the reply, according to Sec
retary Knox, will be handed news
papers Thursday afternoon.
A formal statement sof the facts IN
the case was issued from the depart
ment today, following the publication Of
what were termed premature" state
ments Of when the message was sent.
The differences. between the two coun
tries are not yet in shape to be sub
initted to any sort of arbitration board
and the note sent by this country last
Saturday urges a further definition of
England's objections TO. the legislation.
Senator Roots lengthy appeal in the
Senate yesterday afternoon for arbi-
tration or withdrawal from the present
position has aroused much opposition.
not alone among Democrats, but
among several Senators who have
always been regarded as Administra-
ton friends and supporters.

Vienna, and elsewhere that Turkey had
decided to cede Adrianople II was re-

take that action. but there we're no ad-
vices here that the national assembly
had reached a decision.
The peace delegates spent the day In
informal discussions, awaiting news
from -Constantinople. None Of them had
any definite instructions. but both Turks
and Balkan delegates expressed the be-
lief that the negotiations would be re-
sumed this week.
From Vienna came word that Austria
Hungary believed peace would soon be

war-like report that all OF the Servian
military officers on leave had been sud-

The local meat markets
are feeling the effect of the
scarcity of beef cattle in our
county. The heavy ship
ments from here the past few
months has depleted the sup
ply OF beef cattle. For the
first time in the history OF
our local markets they were
forced to buy from Armour
and Swift to supply the local
needs. Theprice demanded by
the beef trust for steaks are
more IN wholesale quantities
than what our home grown
cattle have been selling for
at retail. There is money.
big money in cattle raising
and no other county in the
state is better adapted for
cattle raising than ours.

The Board And The COun-
ty Attorney Question.

In this paper will be found
the full proceedings OF the
Board in reference to the
much vexed question OF Coun
ty Attorney. 1t will be not
ed from the proceedings that
the Board did not act as a
unit on this question, Mess.
Adams and Ingram register
ing their votes against all
the orders passed.
We are not here to say
whether the Board had a le-
gal right to pass an order
asking the election commits
sioners to call an election
but we do say that thatpart
of the proceedings so full OF
Whereases was unnecessary
and not pertinent to the
question at issue. 1t seems
to us to be reading into
our public records too
much OF our personal feel
ings IN the case, things that
are not germane to the issue
and would be better if they
had not been made part Of
the public records. The
whole question concisely
stated is, did the Board
have a right in the face Of
the present Injunction before
| it to order an election. Ii a
majority of them thought SO
it should have been ordered,
but stop right there, if they
did not have this right, as
We see it, no order or reference
whatever was necessary to
go on the minutes OF the
court. Why all this labored
effort, the sense of which
could have BEEN formulated
in ten lines ordering an elec-
ton to be held on the 18th
of May, followed Immediate
ly by another order nullify-
ing the first? These orders
are followed by a long series
OF "whereases' that are
wholly irrelevant and have
no place as we see it in the
public records of our county.
They smack too much OF per
sonalities.
That any public official
should employ a public doc.
ument to exploit his person
al opinions on any question
is not a wise policy and does
not rebound to the good OF
the public OF which he is only
a servant.
The whole proceedings on
this question as they stand
appears to be a nullity with
no definite position taken on
the whole question and are
useless.
