SpREAD-EAGLNG'
UP TO OFFICERS
War Department May
Hold Back Discharge
Papers To-day

As the result Of an investigation
started by the War Department yester'
dav into the "spread-eagle" punishment
inflicted on Private Max Kellerman, OF
the ID Field Artillery, discharge papers
from the Federal service may be re-
fused to several officers when the regi-
ment is mustered out to-day.
1t was limited in regular army circles
that the investigation would not stop
with the I'd Field Artillery, as evidence
had come to light that "spread-eagling"
prisoners had become quite common in
the National Guard on the border last
summer.
If the investigation shows that trial
Of the officers responsible for spread
eagling" Kellerman in the armory is
warranted, the officers will not be mus
tered out Of the service, according 10
Lieutenant Colonel Frank l.. Dodds.
Judge advocate of the Department OF
the East, Governors Island.
Officers Awaiting Test
The War Department would lose Jur-
isdiction over the officers, 1t was eX-
planned, should they receive their DIS
charge papers. Lieutenant Frank A.
Spencer, who ordered kellerman tled 70
the gun carriage, and possibly Colonel
George A. Wingate, ranking officer of the
I'd Field Artillery, and Lieutenant
Colonel Frank II. Hines, post comman-
der of the Bronx armory, may be DE-
layed in leaving the Federal service.
The last named has assumed response
bility for the punishment dealt out 70
Private Kellerman.
l.. W. Naylor and Orson A. Rsynor,
counsel for Kellerman, yesterday
morning sent a telegram to Secretary
of War Baker in Washington demand
ing immediate investigation. Colonel
Thomas Q. Donaldson, of the inspector
generals department, was at once or
dered 10 the Bronx armory to make
INQUIRY. Whether there will be trial
depends on the report of Colonel Don
aldson to General Wood this morning.
Say Trial Was Needed
"Mr. Raynor and visited Cover
nor's Island to-day and conferred with
Colonel Dodds and Colonel w. A.
Simpson. adjutant general Of the De-
partment Of the East" said Mr.. Nay
ior last night. "Both officers Informed
rs that the 'spread-eagle' punishment
was not used in the regular army.
They also seemed to think that the
bow should not have been punished
without trial.
"The War Department and the Of
fcers of the regular army are stirred
ND over this matter. The inquiry may
90 further. Other privates in New
York regiments in the Federal service
were 'spread-eag.ed' down on the Dor
der. General Wood may order i, a
sweeping investigation of such humil-
isting, punishment on the part of the
National Guard officers
About the time that Colonel Don
aldson began his inquiry in the Bronx
armory yesterday Lieutenant Colonel
Hines received a message from Sec
retary of Var Baker, thanking the I'd
Field Artillery for its work on the
border.

GOOD ROADS AS AID
TO WOMAN'S BEAUTY

H. A. Matthews, treasurer Of the
Jackson Automobile Company, says
that the pubic has had dinned into its
ears dry economic facts about the
economic value of good roads, but not
word has been said Of the really I'M
portant good roads effect: the increase
in woman's beauty.
Before the advent of good roads
the woman automobile driver was rare,
but since good roads have made travel
over the country a pleasure instead Of
peril, the woman driver has become
more and more numerous. There is
no denying the fact that the motor car
and good roads have combined toward
the development Of a prettier, healthier,
more self-reliant woman" he says.

FEARS RIVERSIDE PARK

Woman's League President Assails
Mitchell Over Railroad Plan

Riverside Park will possess all the
picturesqueness of an abandoned min
ing camp when the New York Central
Railroad completes its proposed i'm
provements, according to Mrs. Charles
A. Bryan, president of the Woman's
League to Preserve Riverside Park. In
an address before the Chicago Club at
the Hotel Majestic yesterday afternoon
she said that her organization would
continue its fight against the plan.
mayor Mitchell looked like a little
Sir Galahad when he started out on his
present administration" she said. but
it is unfortunate, as we all have dis
covered, that infant prodigies do not
always live up to expectations. The
Mayor certainly has not seemed to be
looking after the interests OF the PEG
pie in the contract he is so carefully
concealing preparatory to bringing 1t
out at an eleventh hour hearing"
Members of the Chicago Club advised
against giving any further rights to
the railroad.

not know. and was permitted 10 return
when the morning newspapers came
out with the story that he had been
kidnapped" said Mr.. Littleton.
Witness Returned Voluntarily
"Wilson came back voluntarily into
the jurisdiction after he was forcibly
taken out of il by these mysterious
men posing as officers. Knowing that
he is = witness for Breckenridge, why
should the District Attorney seek to
imprison such witness, who has
never shown any disposition to DISC
hey process? What does the District
Attorney expect will result from the
Imprisonment Of a witness like Will
son? Why examine him and reeNam-
inc him and arrest him and re-arrest
him7
What usually happens to a poor man
under such circumstances, when he
finds himself locked up until such time
as the District Attorney may see FIT
to let him 60? This is oppression pure
and simple by the power of a great
Office established to protect the inno-
cent as well as prosecute the guilty"
LLOYD L. Stryker, who, at the re-
quest Of Mr. Toilette, appeared for
Wilson at the bail hearing before
Judge Mulqueen, said he was satisfied
that Wilson was kidnapped by thugs,
taken to Yonkers and sweated and bull
dozed for hours until his prosecutors
found they could get nothing out of
him.
Mr.. Swami says he will put Wilson
before the grand jury again to-day.
Mr.. Stryker said if bail were not re-
duced after that he would ask Justice
Cohalan, in Special Term, Part |, OF
the Supreme Court, for a writ of
habeas corpus.

LACK OF COOPERATION
CAUSED INCREASE

According to Senator Boies Penrose
of Pennsylvania, the present high
price and limited supply of coal are
chargeable directly to the Secretary
of War, supported by Secretary Dan
iels of the navy. Senator Penrose
claims that the Secretary of the In
terror, Mr.. Lane, in cooperation with
the Council of National defense, has
persuaded the coal producers to ma
t~erially reduce their price, and every
thing indicated that the impending
coal shortage had been averted. Bot
because the Navy Department had
been buying West Virginia coal at a
price lower than that agreed upon by
the council, the Secretary of War re-
pudiated the arrangement with the
coal operators, and the whole thing
was off. Mr.. Penrose declares that
the coal for the navy has been mined
by negroes and the lowest class OF
labor from Southern Europe, which
made possible the low price obtained.
but that in no other part of the coun-
try can coal be produced at a profit
for such a low figure.

at is hard for any man who has
ever studied economics at all to re-
strain a cynical smile when he is
told that an intelligent body of his
fellow citizens are looking for the
cost of production as a basis for
tariff legislation. 1t does not
exist as a scientific, d%emonstrable
datum act."-[Woodrow Wilson.

4 POS FOR A BIG WAY

A deserving Democrat" is taken
care Of in the selection of Roland s.
Morris OF Pennsylvania to be ambas-
sador to Japan in succession to the
lamented George w. Guthrie. Whether
the United States will be as well
served in the high station. that is
im~measurably more important than ii
was a few years ago, only time can
develop. But it will occur to most
Americans that a man whose public
experience has been limited to a sub
ordinate role in the management of a
secondary State political organization
may not be altogether equipped to
handle the admittedly delicate and
consequential diplomatic questions
that will confront our representative
at the court of the Mikado. 1t has
been the hope of the country that
President Wilson would choose for
this highly important post a man OF
undoubted qualifications and of pro
ven ability. The compliment that has
been paid to Pennsylvania is gratify-
ing and all citizens will rejoice il
Mr.. Morris proves up" on the JOB.
He is a graduate of Princeton and the
Pennsylvania University law school,
a Philadelphia lawyer, aged forty-four
years. He was notably successful I'M

Obviously the horses are about as

The thousands of jackies swarm
over the field. Hundreds of them break
and run for the beach for a swim. A
crowd of them gather at target prac-

into use by scrub teams.
And then more launches from the
battleships come in bringing the star
baseball teams from four of the battle
ships. A double-header is to be played
between four of the best teams Of the

championship. The grand stands fill
rapidly and Don they are a swelling

The nine men on the diamond repre-

the whole crew backing them. They

Ten baseball diamonds have been laid
out. Docks were built at the waters

BELIEVES MISSOURI
IMPROVEMENT WASTE

Congressman Loren E. Wheeler OF
Illinois is one of many members who
think the time has come to stop
throwing money away on the Mis-
souri, river. In his opinion, a river
that a be ~dredged every day with
out making a permanent channel, as
his information has led him to be-
lieve is the fact. ought not to receive
further attention al the hands of
Congress. Mr. Wheeler is imppresse1
with the fact that 100000 spent on
the river under the Missouri river
commission was practically wasted,
as admitted even by the friends OF
further improvement; and to his mind
it is absurd TO claim that additional
work on hat stream is in the mature
of a war measure.
