BUNCHED HITS AND ERRORS RESPONSIBLE
.otn Team's MltUkfi Com at a
time Vtn Distiller Arc Basleat
with th Bat aid Defeat
I Follows.
About 8,0JS people gathered In the grand
stand and bleachers yesterday and
watched th Dtsttllera snatch a game from
Omaha. Milton pltehed a Kama of quit
a yellowiah hue for the first three Innings
and then settled down and pltehed just
as prettily as he, had poorly before, let
ting the Distillers down with but four hits
during the rest of the gam.
Peoria started at th bat and tha first
three men took a hit apiece and filled tha
bags, Bill" Wilson, father of time, then
dabbed at th ball and knocked It aa far
aa Milton, and Thlel was stopped at horn
while Wilson waa doubled out at first.
Wall fouled out and one period of sua
pens was ever. Th Rourkelte could do
nothing In their half. In th second Holly
started out with a hit for Peoria and
tola second. Meanwhile Friend flew out
to Carter and Holly crawled on to third.
Tlbald drew a baa and Hart knocked a
foul over toward the south bleachers and
Wright mad a sensational catch of It
Meanwhile Holly was trying to steal In
but wa snard between third and home.
Another sigh of relief, and another egg for
Omaha. It began to look aa If th Rourke
lta had all of tha lucky channa and
kiboshes In th kingdom cornered but It
proved that "Bill" Wilson had th real
rabbits foot.
Peoria Score First.
Thlel was first up to smll In the faca of
Milton and he drew a baa on four wide
opes. He wriggled on to second when Mil
ton pitched a wild one and made third
While they were getting Shugart out at
first. Lasotte stood up and let th ball hit
blra on hi bald spot and Wllaon fanned the
breetes, but not before Milton had thrown
the ball against the grand stand and let
Thlel perambulate over th plate. Wall
drew a double and another run come in.
Holly singled and Friend ended th agony
by going out at first.
Thomas started Omaha's half with a
three-bagger. Milton' and Carter couldn't
help It, but Genius dragged a double out
of his crutch and the egg season was over.
In the next both sides took eggs and then
Omaha took the lead in the last of the fifth
Thomas started it again. He drew a single
and Milton sacrificed him on one. Carter
looked over the situation and chortled. It
waa good for three bases when It got
through rolling and Thomas was tn with
his score. Oenlna batted a high one to
Thiol and Carter scored on it before they
could stop him. Preston flew out to Holly,
out nobody cared. The score was tied.
Some Hard Lark.
With the seventh Inning begins the tale
of III luck. Hart drew a bas and reached
second whllo they wer getting Thlel out
at first. Shugart fouled out and Laxotte
got up to th task. He waited for a nice
one and rammed his stick into it. It was
a pretty one, right straight up, and Stew
art under It. Hart sauntered In while It
was coming down and then Ac dropped It.
"Wilton felt bad for his old friend Stewart
and went out, but It waa too late. The
run was In.
Thomas waa up again but only Jabbed at
wind and Milton got to first through Holly s
error. Carter banged the ball so hard that
Milton could get In, but nobody could re
ciprocate and he had to die at second.
Two errors and three hits gave Peoria
the gam In th eighth.
Today they will try It again with Brunei-
In the box fcr Omaha. Score:

CASE SENT TO OMAHA FOR REVIEW
Coaaael Coatead that la Aay Case
Proceeding la t onrt-Martlal at
Fort Leareawarth Will Be
Disapprove for Errors.
FORT LEAVENWORTH. Kan.. May 17.
(Speclal.) The general court-martlnl trying
a number of student officers at the general
servlc and staff colleg computed Lieu
tenant Baker' case last evening and the
records have gone to Omaha for review by
th department commander.
Tb opinion prevails that the verdict In
Lieutenant Baker's ens was acquittal. Tha
accused officers' counsel Is satisfied that If
th verdict wa not acquittal, th reviewing
authority wilt disapprove the proceedings
on account of two- very defective errors.
This latter view la based upon th refusal
of the court-martial to permit th cross-ex
amination by th defense of a member of
th court who waa challenged, while on tho
other hand the government cross-examined
a wltnesa placed on th stand by the do
fens and by whom It desired to prove that
he had a conversation with th challenged
member upon the merits of the student offi
cers' cases. The defense claims the court's
refusal to permit the cross-examination was
In violation of the rights of the accused and
therefore the proceedings must be voided
If justice la to prevail In the trial of per
sons before military court.
A to Wife' Testimony.
The second point upon which the ac
cused's counsel rely for a disapproval of th
proceedings la the fact that the court sus
tained an objection on behalf of the prose
cution that th wife of the challenged mem
ber could not testify aa to any conversation
between herself and husband. Counsel for
the accused held that the challenged mem
ber wa not on trial and that any conversa
tion between such member and hi wife
could not Injuriously affect the former.
Such a ruling, it Is thought. In th case of
an accused on trial for his life, would be a
denial of justice and not such a fair trial
aa la the right of every accused person
under the constitution of th United States.
While th point raised Is on on which the
authorities are few It is believed that civil
courts would -hold that the wife must
testify whether the husband had talked to
htr about the case and which. If proven,
must disqualify the challenged member of
the court-martial.
The outcome of this case will be closely
watched. Judge Advocate Hull of tha De
partment of the Missouri will have an op
portunity In the review of this trial to mako
a reputation for himself.

proved sights, which will become his per
sonal property, but which cannot be used

servlc rifle.
Military Prlsoaer May Oo Froo.
Two Important military law points' ar
now being considered by the federal cir
cuit court of appeals at St Paul. If the
decision should be agalnat th government
It will result In the discharge of something
Ilk 900 military prisoners.
It Is claimed that a court martial can
not delegate any of Ita functions to the re
viewing authority, to-wlt, where a sentence
of a soldier convicted by such a court
reads "to be confllned at hard labor, for
his natural life, in such plac as the re
viewing authority may direct," Is held to
be absolutely void on the ground that the
statutrs ar mandatory and direct that the
court ahall fix-the punishment. By dele
gating to the reviewing authority the func
tion of fixing the place where th sentence
of confinement ahall b executed. It has
delegated away a part of Ita exclusive
functions. Fcr this reason It Is claimed th
prisoner, who applied to the court for a
writ of habeas or put should b dis
charged from the custody of tha warden.
Should th dourt so hold It will result
In th release of about three hundred
military convicts, confined at tha federal
penitentiary. Fort Columbua, N. Y-. at
Alcatras Island, the Philippines, In fact,
there are men confined In almost every
poat guard houses with sntncs awarded
In Ilka manner.
It Is not amiss to state in connection
with this cae that when the convict.
Thomas Galtney, applied for the writ, and
Judge Thayer set the case for a hairing
tha war department promptly ordered his
release from th federal prison, although
h had something Ilk eight year yet to
serv of a twelv year sentence.' This Is
tsken as evidence that the department did
not wish the case to come to an issu as
it feared the point raised was a good one
and would prove disastrous to the disci
pline of the army.
Immediately after tha discharge of
Gaff nay four other military convict In
Major MoClaughr' prison, petitioned the
MAY 18, 1003.
same court for releaee on the ground set
forth by Gsffney and asked that the brief,
prepared by his attorney, with the means
they furnished, be used In their rase as
the base upon which they asked discharge.
The court granted this request and ths
case was heard on May 6.
Pleads Sentence I Illegal.
The other Important law point Involved
comes Under a construction of the sixtieth
article of war. Under this article, which
provides for punishment by "flne or im
prisonment, or by such other punishment
as a court-martial may direct," George R.
Langan, a military convict, asked for dis
charge on the ground that the court
martial baa not power to award punish
ment In a penitentiary where a conviction
was made under the sixtieth article of war.
This article has since Its existence on the
army statutes been a sort of "catch-all"
for offenses not coming under any specific
article, under which the courts sentence a
man to punishment all the way from for
feiting 1 cent of his pay. to being shot.
The prisoner contends that the sentence
Is void, because the punitory clause of the
sixtieth article of war does not authorize
Imprisonment at hard labor or In a peni
tentiary where hard tabor Is a part of the
discipline, and that it ia beyond the power
of the court to Impose, and his detention
thereunder Is unlawful.
It Is the further contention of the pris
oner that the sixtieth article does not
authorise to Imprisonment at hard labor,
and that the clause providing such other
punishment as a court-martial may adjudge
must be of a kind less severe than the
specific alternative punishment authorised
In the first part of Its punitory clause.
Lawyers who have looked over the brief
In this last case say the point raised Is
strong and a decision favoring the prisoner
quite likely. In the civil statutes, and these
must largely govern in the Interpretation
of military law, the maximum sentence is
always In advance of the minimum, and
they cannot believe that any court, though
it be military, would be vested with such
absolute power as the clause under con
sideration, military authorities have
claimed.
TULLOCH DETAILS CHARGES
(Continued from First Page.)
April 25 and May 23, 1899, from George W.
Cobb, Jr., No. 72 Nassau street. New Tork
city.
Addresses Turned Over.
"Residents of Washington remember well
receiving a few years since an official letter
from the postmaster at Washington recom
mending and seemingly requiring the pur
chase of an expensive house to house col
lection and delivery mall box to be at
tached to their front doors. Many persons
bought these boxes. This box was th
property of Individuals or an individual
company.
"It was always supposed that certain
departmental officials took more than a
passing Interest In it, In connection with
certain other prominent personages. It
was a well known regulation of the depart
ment that under no circumstances could
the postmaster or any employes Inform
anyone with regard to the address or resi
dence ot any person or resident of the city.
Yet tho agents of this box, upon the re
fusal of the postmaster to furnish ad
dresses, brought an order from the office
of the first assistant postmaster general
directing the turning over of the letter
carriers' route books to these agents. The
postmaster Ineffectually protested against
this unauthorised use of his name."
Passing on, Mr. Tulloch gives Instances
of alleged Illegal and improper appoint
ments, and adds: "On account of the inti
mate relations between the department
and the Washington offices, verbal direc
tions often accompanied the written orders
and were far more Interesting. For ex
ample: The postmaster one day brought
me an allowance of the first assistant post
master general's salary and allowance divi
sion, July 27, 1808, appointing Emma Janes
and Fannie R. Wlnans cleaners or char
women for one year from July L 1898, at
8600 per annum. Handing me the allow
ance, he said It was the intention of the
department that the name of the women
should not appear on any payrolls, that
the parties designated should not know
that the other was in receipt of any money
or had any connection with the offices and
that neither of them was expected to report
for any duty."
In conclusion, a number of other oharges
are made. Including junketing trips to
Porto Rico and' Cuba and bogus Inspec
tions. ' Wonld Preserve Manila Wall.
A meeting of well known men and women
of Washington with unofficial representa
tives of numerous patrlotlo societies to
night adopted a resolution that will be pre
sented to the secretary of war asking that
the demolition of the walla of Manila be
suspended until the War department ascer
tains the necessity for their destruction.
The point was made that the walls should
be preserved not only because of their
value but for thlr architectural beauty.
The committee appointed to present the
resolution to the secretary consists of
George Kennan, Miss Elizabeth Bryant
Johnston, General Henry V. Boynton,
Henry F. Blount and Marcus Benjamin.
Plagsea Follow Fast.
The Bureau of Insular Affairs of the
War department haa received th annual
report of Sr. Gonsoza. governor ot the
province of Cagayan, for 1902. It aays In
part:
The province of Cagayan. situated in the
extreme northern part of the Island of
j.,uon, nas continued in a peaceful and
tranquil condition since tne establishment
of civil government In September, 1901.
Prosperity has been prevented by th
mortality among oarabaos and other dis
eases of cattle and horses. This calamity
was followed Dy unexpected overflows of
th river, which Inundated land Dianted
in corn and tobacco. Then came the small
pox epidemic, and In its turn the plague
or locusts, ana to cap it an tne cholera,
which, while It bas not wrought great
havoc, has greatly unsettled tha minds of
the people.
The dire calamities mentioned, connected
with the depression In tobacco, which la
the principal product of this soil, place
the Inhabitants of the tobacco raising
pueblos of the province In tha most de
plorable condition. All the pueblo should
b given American teacher, and there
should be established Institutions of higher
learning, of agriculture, arts and trades in
tha provincial capital for th education of
th youth of Cagayan.

STROM BBURQ, Neb.. May lT.-(8peclsJ
Telegram.) Quite a aensatlonal affair oc
curred here last night when th oltlsens ef
Btromsburg, headed by J. W. Wilson and
H. I Headstrom, served an attaohment on
the main ahow tent of the Howe'a Great
London shows, which exhibited here yes
terday.
The city council and Mayor Tongue had
been forewarned that tha outfit wa not
altogether perfect, and embodied in the
license a clause prohibiting gambling. Not
withstanding this, however, about 8 some
of those connected with the show sold E.
O. Fritsch, an honest German, an electrto
belt for 2100. As he was counting out the
money one fellow grabbed it and ran. Mr.
Fritsch at once complained and Marshal
Rlckel and Constable Carlson were set to
work and served the writ of attachment.
At the conclusion of the evening's per
formance the show managers paid no atten
tion to the attachment and were only
brought to time when the officers threat
ened to arrest anyone that laid hands on
the property. Some twenty deputy officers
were sworn In and about 800 cltlsens were
present. The show managers then settled
the claim and costs of pronecutlon, amount
ing to tlll.40. Thus ended an affair that at
one time threatened a most serious riot.

from the use of Chamberlain's Pain Balm

used It for sprained back and was also
