These maneuvers were almost exclu- siv confined to the regular troops in several vicinities, civilian sol- vely participating, though 'me cases on the ground. Last October, however, under -the new act of Congress alluded to, some thou: d regular troops from neigh- boring posts gathered at West Point, in Kentucky, with National Guard con- tingents from that State and adjoin- ing ones, for the purposes of, instruc- tion in'the art of war. Schools of in- of the the diers not in struction, drills and sham battles were | the prominent features of the encomp- ment, which lasted two weeks. The California army camp is to have schools of instruction” also, but they will be schools of ‘“‘getting ready” for battle. Neither drills nor sham battles will form any part of the maneuvers: the former being considered a matter for each organization ‘to’ perfect at home and the latter a useless waste of time, muscle and ammunition, Usually the maneuver will have ended at the time the battle should begin. The programme for the encampment has been well made up and the benefits to both regulars and militia will doubt- less be large. The camp will be under the command of Major General Arthur MacArthur, commander of the Department of Cal. ifornia, and the detalls of the maneu- vers under ‘the direction of an - able staff composed of Colonel L. P. Jocelyn, Major W. P. Duval and Captain S. A. Cloman. The site for the camp has been se- Tected with much care on the report of competent. engineers and ‘' medical boards and is an admirable one.

Bell and WIFE ALLEGES GROSS NEGLECT Alonzo Stewart, Assistant Sergeant at Arms of Sen- ate, Is Sued for Divorce PP — GETS NEWS AT PALACE Spouse Charges That He Failed to Return $40,000 Advanced by Her Family Charged with gross neglect and with withholding $40,000 in bonds and other securities, Alonzo H. Stewart, assist- ant sergeant-at-arms of the Unifed States Senate, and ome of the best known men in this country, Is preparing to cut short his vacation in California to hurry East and face the accusations made by his wife. Stew- art has been a guest at the Palace Ho- tel for several days. Yesterday he was apprised of the fact that his wife. Grace Bliss Stewart, had instituted proceed- ings in Atchison, Kans., their home, for a divorce, and the husband imme- diately placed himself in communica~ tion with former United States Sena- tor John M. Thurston of Nebraska re- garding the case. In her complaint the aggrieved wife sets forth that she was married to Stewart in Atchison on July 10, 1901, and that thev have not lived together for more than a year. The charge is also made by the wife that her hus- band appropriated to his own use bonds and securities valued at $40,000 which belonged to her mother, Mrs. J. L. Bliss, and her aunt, Mrs. N. K. Dunham, both of whom are residents of Atchison. It is also alleged in the complaint that these securities were obtained by Stewart before his mar- riage, but that Mrs. Stewart did not learn of the fact until after she had become his wife. When interviewed yesterday regard- ing the suit, Stewart at first denied all knowledge of it, but finally acknowl- edged that he had been expecting it. He declined to discuss the matter further and ref: interviewer to ex-Senator T . who, he said, had full charge of his side of the case. The Stewart wedding” was a social event in Atchison in 1901 After the ceremony the groom chartered a special train to carry the bridal party Mo., whence it journeyed ty in a special train vided by € or Thurston. Stewart official connections at Washington re- sulted in his bride receiving many valuable presents from statesmen and other notable men with whom her husband was acquainted. Stewart, according to his friends in this city, has been expecting that his wife would bring a suit and he was prepared for it. He has been on the coast for some time and during his stay in this city he devoted consider- able time to seeing that the Senmators | and Congressmen who came here last gate merchant marine themselves during week to inv conditions enjoyed their leisure hou —————————— HAWAII IS IN NEED OF NEW LIGHTHOUSES Little Protection Is Afforded Naviga- tors in the Vicinity of the Islands. When the Hawaiian Government last year surrendered to the United States its interest and property in the lighthouses of the islands it was hoped by navigators that a speedy improve- ment would be made in the all but useless system. Of the twenty-two lights, it has been found that only two, the Diamond Head light and the one at Barbers Point, both on the isi- and of Oahu, located on property actually owned by the Government, are in towers that were either sub- stantial or adequate to the purposes designed. All of the rest are on pri- vate properiy or property in dispute and as such possession has been de- nied to the representatives of the United States, who are at a standstill and prevented from bringing the ser- vice up to the standard desired and expected. Of the twenty lights, exclu- sive of the two fairly effective ones on Oahu, is even fairly well equip- ped. Lieutenant Commander Niblack of the United States navy, who is deputy to the lighthouse inspector of the none Twelfth District, reports discouraging conditions existing and no improve- ment is possible until the property rights of the United S Govern- ment have been decided s delay, and in the meantime naviga- tors are loud in their complaints. Lieutenant Niblack has reported ex- haustively on the needs of the islands, but is unable to carry out any im- provements, let alone the construction of new lights, until Cong: appropri- ates sufficient for the purpose. An appropriation of 0,000 will be asked of Congress at its next session to construct lighthouses and thor- oughly renovate the lights. —ee——— To Help the Needy. Dramatic The Marie Kenny and Vocal Club, through its committee, Dr. O. B. Hewitt, John M. Ratto and W. H. Marston, has arranged for an en- tertainment and dance to be given in Golden Gate Hall next Friday evening in aid of Robert Clark, who recently, while chopping wood in Potter Val- ley, Mendocino County, cut one of his feet. The injury developed to the ex- tent that his leg below the knee must be amputated. The attention of the association named having been called to the case and to the fact that three little children who are dependent upon him are without means, it de- cided to give this benefit te him and them. —e—— —— wife at the Victoria, C.
