WAR DEPARTMENT

Secretary Garrison has accepted an
invitation to attend and address the an
nual dinner of the Dem ocratic Club OF
Westchester county at the Hotel Astor
in New York city Saturday evening,
April 10.
Brig, Gen j. \. Wheelan, United
States Army, retired, who makes his
home in New York city, is on a. pro-
longed visit TO this city. He is at the
New Willard.
Brig Gen. Hugh l.. Scott. chief of
staff of the army, contracted a severe
cold as a result of hard travel and eX-
posure in the mountainous districts of
Utah in the search for the hostile Ptute
Indians who had defled arrest by the
civil authorities. Since his return to
this city last Wednesday he has been
under treatment at his quarters at Fort
Myer but has managed to spend a few
hours daily at the War Department.
Under orders issued by the War De-
partment, five army officers are taking
law courses at colleges. They are
the University of California; Lieut.. G.
V Strong. Northwestern University
Lieut.. L. c. Mcneil, Columbian Tniver-
sity; Lieut.. d. D. Edwards. Harvard
University, ana Lieut.. Il. =. MuSgraSe,
George Washington University. This is
in addition to the duty these officers
are performing at their present posts.
For instance. Lieut.. Musgrave. who is
on duty in the adjutant generals office,
while attending the George Washing
ton University. divides his time be-
tween the War Department and the
classroom at the university. The policy
of detailing a limited number of off,
GERS to study law at colleges is in line
with the system employed in giving
officers expert instructions in other
specialties for the army and navy. 1t
is thought that officers who take this
course will be availa BILE for the Judge
advocate generals department or as
instructors at West Point and other
schools of the service. Taking the
course is not a guarantee that the stu
dents will be sent to the judge advo-
cate generals department.
John s. Winship. one of the oldest
clerks of the engineer office. died about
ten days ago and was buried last Mon
day.
F. n. Powell OF the appointment di-
vision was on leave of absence last
week.

COURTHOUSE.

A record for convictions was estab-
|lished by the Jury in Criminal Division
No of the District Supreme Court.
which was discharged last Wednesday
by Chief Justice Covington. Not one
person was acquitted by the jury in
the two months of its service. About
three verdicts of not guilty were rem
dered, but in each case the verdict was
directed by the court for lack Of evil
dence and the case was not submitted
to the jury.
Justice Stafford has been enjoying a
brief vacation at Atlantic City. He is
expected to return tomorrow or Tues
day morning.
Justice Anderson's illness has made
necessary delay in the closing of the
Hutchins will case. The jury has been
respited until Thursday. About two
days will be required to complete the
case, which holds the long distance rec
ord for a civil proceeding in the his
tory Of the local courts. The justice
has also been able to deliver only one
lecture in his course on domestic re-
Ilattons to the students of the law de-
partment of Georgetown University.
Justice Could was the recipient last
Wednesday of handsome basket of
flowers as a token Of appreciation from
! the jury which has been sitting in his
court for the past two months. A floral
offering was also made by the jurors
| to Frank ". Smith, clerk OF Circuit
Division 1.
The Easter recess of the courts,
which will continue until Thursday,
will afford an opportunity to Justices
Mccoy and Siddons to catch up with
| the cases under submission. The new
rule Of hearing equity proceedings in
] open court causes congestion and piles
| uD submitted cases.
! John f. Young, clerk OF the court,
| is reported as much improved in
health. 1t is expected lie may be able
to return to his desk during the COM
ting week.
