Secretary cted to give to the press this week the report of the military court of In- quiry which conducted a similar investi- n report of the Congressional com- mittee is much more scathing in its con- demnation of practices which prevailed at the military academy than is that of the military court.

The Con- committee failed to definitely his point, though jt stated that not atfirmatively find tha their ath was caused by this treatment.” | The report of the military court fouad | that hazing existed at the academy, but i y g that it was less bru- | fically it “tice cational institutions. condemned observed at civil The board se- hazing, and recom- ary meas ures. No action was taken by Department against any of the the reason that in any cases the stat- ute of limitations applied, and in others cadets involved gav: imony with the | understanding that should not be | punished.

CITY GOLFERS AHEAD ON PRESIDIO LINKS Foursome Between Oakland and San | Francisco Experts Results in a Close Contest. | The brilliant sky and calm atmosphere vesterday attracted many golfers out to the Presidio links. OwIng to the recent heavy rains the course and puiting greens | were somewhat slow, 8o that there was | but little roll to the ball. The most inter- esting game was a two-ball foursome be- tween B. D. Adamson, amateur, and Rob- ert Johnstone, professional, representing | the S8an Francisco Golf Club, and W. P. | Johnson, amateur, and Horace Rawlins, professional, _representing the Oakland | Goif Club. 'It was the first half of a | home-and-home -match, over seventy-two | holes. The first thirty-six holes ~ were played vesterday, eighteen in the morning and eighteen in the afternoon. After a close struggle the San Francisco men won, two up. The remaining thirty-six holes will be played next Sunday on the Point Adams link: The professionals hardly did themselves justice, appearing to be somewhat nervous. Several practice matches were played during the day. C. F. Mulling beat J. 8. Severance two up; H. C. Golcher beat C. BE. Oliver four up on thirty-six holes; L. O. Kellogg beat Hugh Tevis one up on nine holes. A foursome between J. H. Mee and H. Blackman on one side and Leonard Chen- ery and Worthington Ames on the other ended_in favor of the former couple. two up. Charles Page, H. B. Goodwin, P. G. Gow and several others played practice games. This morning at 9:3) ther® will be a driv- ing contest among the ladies. The four- some between Mrs. R. G. Brown and Rob- ert Johnstone of the San Francisco Golf Club and Mrs. H. H. Sherwood and Hor- ace Rawlins of the Oakland Golf Club, that -was to have been played to-morrow ol\fifléc Point Adams links, has been post- orfed. Pofhie- arrangements for the home-and- home, tournament, over thirty-six holes, between teams of ten men of Class B of the San Francisco and Oakland golf clubs are nearly complete, and the list of play- ers will be exchanged in a few days. e Men climb the hill of life like small boys gulllng their sleds after them and they go own hill like the boys with their sleds under them of any regulations or Root | the War | cadets for | — ANGERED FATHER - USES REVOLVER Alabama Judge Is Shot Down on His Own Doorstap. | —— | MONTGOMERY, Ala., Feb. 10.—Chief Justice McClellan of the Alabama Su- preme Court was shot in the right should- er at his house this morning by either Jesse D. Beale or-his son, Phelan Beale, | of this city. The wound is a serious one. | It is alleged that the Beales went'to the | house of Judge McClellan to find John | McQueen of Birmingham, assistant solic- | itor of Jefferson County, whom the elder | Beale charged with abducting his daugh- ter Caroline. It is alleged Miss Beale had not been at home all night, and they had been in- | formed that McQueen had been riding ‘fihnul in a hack with her. Judge McClel- | lan attempted to prevent the Beales from | going through his house in their hunt for McQueen. This they resented, and one of them, believed to be the father, shot Me- Clellan_with a pistol. The Beales pursued their hunt, and be- | lieving they had located McQueen in a | closet, which was locked, fired about a | dozen' shots through the door. McQueen | was in the closet, but was in a narrow place to the side of the door and was not struck by any of the balls. The Beales were arrested and held without bail, Later the fact was developed that Me- Queen and Miss Beale had gone to the residence of Probate Judge Gaston after | midnight to secure a .icense to marry but | the Judge declined to issue a license un- der the circumstances. As soon as the acts became known the Beales were people were married. BRITISH NATIONAL HYMN. Originally Written by Dr. John Bull and Amended by Dean Hole, The national anthem, which is changed, and a severe wrench it Is from “God Save the Queen” to the same invocation on be- half of the King, was written by no one knows exactly whom, although it is cred- ited to a certain Dr. John Bull—appropri- ate name—who lived in the early part of the eighteenth century. Its first printed form, of date 1742, commences: God save our Lord the King! Long live our noble King! God save the King! But a few years later it appeared as: God save Great George, our Kingl Long live our noble King! God save the King! According to the New York Tribune, the poet Longfellow wrote a new stanza, which, indeed, reads prettily: Lord, let war's tempests cease, Fold the whole world in peace Under Thy Wings. Make all the nations one, All hearts beneath the sun, Till Thou shalt reign alone, Great King of Kings! This verse, however, did not stick. Neither did Dean Hole's amendment, which was to supplant the words ‘‘co found their politics, frustrate their kna ish tricks,” which was framed thus: Keep us from plague and dearth, Turn thou our woes to mirth, And over all the earth Let there be peace! The people are too much attached to the old form.. The New York Tribune asks why not revive the “God Save the King"” that was used when Edward VI came_to the throne. That version begins in this WA King Edaward, King Edward, God save King Edward, King Edward the Sixth! But it is difficult to see how these words could be forced to fit the tune.—Toronto Mail and Expres: ————— New British Mint, The establishment of a mint in Canada will make the fourth branch of the British mint in operation outside London.

Not Beneficial to Animals. HONOLULU, Feb. 10.—Captain Slake®, quartermaster in charge of army work in Honolulu, has made a report to Colonel Long at San Francisco against the stop- ping of stock transports to give the ani- mals a rest in Honolulu. The captain thinks that the animals do not derive any appreciable benefit from the rest here, and that the time and expense of putting them ashore might as well be saved. The cost of having the last vessel, the Kin- tuck, stop here was about $5000. RELATIVE POWER OF SUNFLASHES William A. Eddy Announces Result of His Experi- ments.

The test of the relative lighting powers | was made by taking a sixteen candle- power oil lamp held close to a sheet of paper, the center of which had been made semi-transparent by oil. The test was to see_how near or far the lamp had to be held to the paper before its yellow glare was effaced by the white glare caused by the sunlit snow outside. Mr. Eddy thinks from these experiments | that it is highly probable that the light | flash sald to have been seen from Mars at | Elagstaff, Ariz., could have resulted from the sudden lighting up with sunrays of snow which had been previously cloud- shadowed. He calculated that, supposing the Mar- tians to be using mirrors to reflect the hight, it would be a stupendous undertak- ing {o effect the result described. It | would require mirrors, he calculated, cov- ering more than 100 square miles to po- duce the shaft of light.

In fact, people have paid more for so long that they have a natural prejudice against a suit at so low a price. We must make a good suit to order for $10.00, otherwise how could we sell these suits year in and year out, sometimes two, three or four suits to one person in suc- cession, as he needs them. We make higher-priced suits, to be sure, and are pleased to seli them, but we know that our $10.00 suits are all right for men of moderate means. Many circumstances enable us to make an all-wool suit to order for $10.00. We buy cloth in big consign~ ments direct from the mills for three stores, conses quently getting big discounts; we use alabor-saving system of cutting and sell at close prefits. Under ordinary conditions the suits would be $15.00. We are generous with samples—come and get a number of them and see our fine line of spring tweeds. Out-of-town orders filled—write for samples and se/f-measuring blank. SNWooD 718 Market Strect and Cor. Powell & Eddy Sts.
