First Lieutenant Roy I. Taylor of the 125th Company, Coast Artillery, who is to be tried by court-martial in New York this morning, did not visit the Officers' Club on Governor's Island yesterday, though it is the custom of officers from a distance, charged with minor offenses, to make their headquarters at the club previous to their appearance before the court-martial. Tay lor proved the exception to tho rule. The story among the non-commissioned officers Is that word was sent to the lieu tenant that his presence woy^d not be wel comed by his brother officers, and that it would be as well for him to spend the night before the trial on Manhattan Island. No commissioned officer on Governor's Island would admit yesterday that Taylor had been Invited to stay away, but one non-commissioned officer, whose name can not be used because it would mean his re duction to the ranks, told this story: "I don't like to be a tell-tale, but this is no German army, and the press has the right to know the truth. When the officers were gathered in their club I happened to hear them say that it would be well to noti fy the lieutenant that his company was not wanted on the island. I've seen many a lieutenant here as their guest when he was charged with some minor ofTense. like for getting to pay his debts, or getting In a fight. They did their best to make him for get that he was under charges. "When this recent case came up they were of different mind. I'm not going to give the name of the officer who spoke what every other man of 'em was think ing. He and I were In the trenahes to gether in the Philippines. We were only a few, and In a tight place. "Well, to make a long story short, this officer swore to the other officers that he would as lief sit by me in a theater, if I was sober, as with any officer of his com pany. 'Why.' says he. 'we fought together, we ate together in the trenches, we bathed together In the rivers, and had to scamper out when the sharpshooters got at us. He was the tender nurse of my baby girl on a transport. If It were not for discipline, I'd Invite him In here now for a drink.' " First Lieutenant Roy L. Taylor is r grad uate of the Michigan Military Academy and a veteran of the Spanish-American war. At the conclusion of the war he was commissioned a second lieutenant of artil lery. and later got a first lieutenancv. The charge against him is tiiat 'he hu miliated a private soldier in a New Lon don theater. It is alleged that, finding his s??at next to the private, he ordered htm to move and get another seat. This the private refused to do, and, according to testimony which will be offered against the officer to day, he went to the box office and obtained another seat. The charges against the lieu tenant are brought by his captain R W McMasters. TABLETS OF TEA. Latent Experiment of the Agricultural Department. The latest novel experiment to be made by the Department of Agriculture is that of compressing tea into tablets, one of which will make a delicious cup of tea. Ag a result, what would ordinarily make a big package of tea can by this new and unique method be placed In a space about the size of a safety match box. The tea Is grown at the department's experimental tea gar dens at Summerville, S. C. The department has been engaged in thts experiment for some time, and last week a large box of sample packages of tea tablets was received by Dr. Galloway, director or the bureau of plant Industry, for inspec tion. Each little box of compressed tea contains twenty tablets about the size of a penny, but about twice as thick. They are dark green. Dr. Galloway states that the most favorable reports have been made by those who have tried the tablets. The tablets are said to contain no adulterant. It is explained that the taste of the tea is in no way bettered by the form of tab lets, but the chief value lies In the fact that it is compressed and takes up less room. It has been the object of the department for some time to find means of providing food for the army and navy, which could be prepared In such a way as to savn space, but so far all attempts have proved unsatisfactory. It is now believed by the officials of the department that these tab lets will fill not only government require ments, but tiiose of general merchandise and family use. Along the River Front. The rebuilding of the hull of the sund and gravel-digging machine belonging to the National Sand Company at Dean's boat yard. at Alexandria, Is about completed and the house Is now being placed on the vessel. In a few days she will be brought up to this city and taken to the plant of the company, on the Eastern branch, where her machinery will be installed. This ma chine was the one burned on the Eastern branch several weeks ago while employed in digging out one of the coffeedams of the Anacostia bridge. The machine will be ready for service long before the next digging season opens. Arrived: Schooner Henry R.

Memoranda: Tug W. H. Yerkes will sail I'or Norfolk to bring back the lumber-laden barge John Qulnton, consigned to Wash ington dealers; steam barge Louise, bound to this city with a cargo of lumber from the Rappahannock river, Is reported in the Potomac bound up. The tug D. M. Key, which was hauled out on the marine railway at Alexandria yesterday, to be fitted with a new wheel, was put overboard yesterday afternoon and returned to this city towing the launch Ed ward. She resumed general service on the river this morning. The big seagoing barge Isabelle has been berthed at the Alexandria shipyard and will there load a large cargo of railway ties for the Philadelphia market. The tiarge. It Is stated, will take away about 20,000 ties. Alex Sparks, a negro hackman, narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of a party of infuriated white men at Tampa, Fla., yes terday afternoon. The negro struck James Gafford, a white driver of a furniture wagon, over the head with a heavy Iron rod. Inflictinf what mar prove a fatal wound. Proposed Association of In spectors of Plumbing.

To the Editor of The Star: All lovers of oriental art deeply appre ciate President Roosevelt's decided stand In the matter of accepting the Freer collection of paintings, etchings and art objects for the nation. It has seemed incredible that the Smithsonian regents had not promptly pursued Mr. Freer and secured a definitely signed deed or compact at the first sugges tion or promise of such a gift months ago. Should these regents by any action, or want of action, permit such a collection of treasures to be lost to Washington, the Smithsonian could then be termed an in stitution for the suppression of knowledge. Only M. de Pobedonostieff would be eligible to sit with such reactionaries. President Roosevelt Is the first to lay stress upon the most unique and important features of this great collection, I. e.. the Chinese and Japanese paintings. No other collection In Europe or America now equals this of Mr. Freer, no single owner or tem ple in Japan can rival him in the treasures of paintings and screens which he pos sesses. This most critical and exacting collector has searched both the east and the west, and at the dispersal of any great oriental collection for many years Mr. Freer has been the most omnivorous, re lentless and reckless bidder for the objects which he desired. In this way has he ac quired a greater and more important collec tion than the British Museum or the Bos ton Museum of Fine Arts possesses. Sir Richard Wallace's legacy to London, the Musee Cernuschl. and the Musee d'En nery in Paris, several Blmllar national gifts at The Hague and Vienna, have furnished those capitals with unique attractions. It seems impassible to believe that, Washing ton being without any national gallery or museum of art, the regents of the Smith sonian should not strain every nerve, ex haust every argument to Induce an Amer ican collector to leave his treasures In their care for the whole people to profitably en joy. The Freer museum, moreover, would be a worthy memorial to James Whistler, who stands as the first translator and adapter of oriental art to occidental eyes and minds?a historic figure for all time. President Roosevelt has given the Smith sonian regents a severe reminder of their first duty In himself suggesting the names of :wo universally recognized connoisseurs who should be asked to visit the collection In Detroit and formally report for the en lightenment of the regents. The visit of a committee of learned scientists to Detroit last spring to pass upon the Importance of Mr. Freer's art treasures was hardly In keeping with the seriousness of his offer, and his request for a committee of experts to Inspect his collection. With Dr. Sturgls Bigelow and Mr. John La Farge might be joined that New York captain of Industry whose roomful of Rembrandts Is well known to the world, yet who possesses some thirty-odd Chinese paintings that he considers worthy to hang beside the Rem brandts. Besides President Roosevelt's vigorous ac tion. the community must gratefully ac knowledge the continuous efforts which The Evening Star has made to secure the Freer collection for the national capital. ELIZA RCHAMAH SCIDMORE. THREE GREAT PROBLEMS. The American Farmers Concern With the Soil. The soil survey of the Department of Agriculture has mapped 15,732.320 acres of land during the past fiscal year, according to the annua! report of the soils bureau. Surveys were made In twenty-eight states. The maps show the different kinds of soli which occur in each area. Rhode Island is the first state In the Union of which a com plete survey has been made. The report says that the work during the pant eight years shows the three great agricultural problems now are: First, the western farmer Is now chiefly concerned with the presence of alkali and its removal or con trol; second, the eastern farmer Is chiefly concerned with the study of the adaptation of the proper crop to the proper soil, and, third, with the maintenance or restoration of soil fertility. The tobacco Investigations of the bureau have been extended. "In Texas co-opera tive experiments have been carried on with the farmers," the report adds, "with the result that new varieties of filler tobacco are being grown, that sell for from 23 to 40 cents per pound, with an average price of 30 cents." In this manner a new indus try is being developed in a region where the staple crop?cotton?is being seriously threatened by the ravages of the boll wee vil. In the Connecticut valley work on the production of a high-grade of wrapper to bacco, grown under cloth tents, has been continued. In Ohio the new method of "bulk" fer mentation has been thoroughly introduced, and has resulted in the saving of thou sands of dollars to the tobacco producers of the state.

LIQUOR 10 INDIANS Question of Prohibition in New State of Oklahoma. PRESIDENT'S ATTITUDE WORK OF "BOOTLEGGERS" IN DE BAUCHING THE INDIANS. Great Pressure to Restore the Army Canteen?Senator Smoot's Declar ation?W. C. T. U. Petition. White President Roosevelt took no ac tion on the reqifest of the leading brewers of the Untied States that If the wise men of the country deemed It necessary to pro hibit the sale of intoxicants to the In dians In tihe new state of Oklahoma, the prohibition be not extended to beer and other prinks containing less than 4>4 Per cent of alcohol, he did jive partial recog nition in his annual message to the ar- . guments of the brewers that prohibition would be ineffective. As a result of the petition presented to the President by the brewers, advancing ?ra? most interest- j ii?g arguments, the White House has re- | celved many letters suggesting different courses of action on the question of pro hibition in the proposed new state. The petition of the brewers was submitted to the President early in November, and in his annual message to Congress three , weeks afterward he referred to the Illicit | sale of liquor among the Ind.ana and stated. | "I would urgently press upon the attention of Congress the question whether some amendment of the internal revenue lawa might not be of aid In prosecuting those malefactors known In the Indian country as 'boot-leggers,' who are engaged at once in defrauding the United States treasury of taxes ana, what is more important, in debauching the Indians by carrying liquors illicitly into territory still completely tinker federal jurisdiction." The "Bootleggers." The nefarious work of the "bootleggers" in the Indian Territory has long been a men ace to the Indians, and It was this fact that produced one of the best arguments of the brewers. They asserted that the Indians were now getting the meanest and vilest grades of whisky, while If they were per mitted to purchase the light drinks like beer they would not debase themselves by illicit connection with the bootleggers, who carry their supplies around in copiously made legs of boots. The House committee on territories Is now at work hearing arguments on whether a prohibition provision shall be incorporated in the bill admitting Oklahoma to statehood. The sentiment among the people of the ter ritories is much divided. Capt. Prank Frantz, Tarns Blxby, who has been asso in the Indian Terltory has long been a men elated with Indian work In the west for many years; Delegate Maguire of Okla homa. the national committeeman of Okla homa and the Indian Territory, and most of the politicians are set against the bill touch ing upon the prohibition question in any form, advocating the reference of the mat ter to the people, who, they declare, under stand the needs of the Indians living among them as well as the general government. The prohibitionists, on the other hand, are making a fight for the Incorporation of pro hibition now, not being contented to leave the people of the new state to settle It themselves. It is said by those familiar with the work in Congress that the sentiment there la op posed to requiring prohibition in the new state, the contention being that it would be unconstitutional and would not be re garded by the new state, but there la some sentiment In favor of the insertion of a clause forbidding the sale of Intoxicants to Indians of the new state, this Wing based upon the fact that the treaties with the Indians for many years have recognized the Importance of preventing the sale of whisky umong them. There has been some talk of presenting a provision prohibiting the sale to the Indians of drinks or bever ages of any kind containing above a certain percentage of alcohol, this being in line with the contention of the brewers that the Indian would be a better citizen if he were allowed the light drinks and forbidden the strong ones. The Canteen Fight. There has been no opportunity to sound the President as to what he would do about a statehood bill containing provisions he did not believe In. and so far his ideas as to a prohibition provision in the statehood bill are not known. The President has also withheld an expression of his views as to the restoration of the canteen In the army. A good many of his callers have voiced their opinions. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah a short time ago declared his inten tion to vote for the restoration of the can teen in the army. "I am a temperance man myself." he said, "but when practically every officer in the United States army de clares that the soldier Is morally degener ating by reason of the abolition of post canteens, I am compelled to accept what they say in preference to the theories of those who have had no actual experience with the soldier." Representative Hull of Iowa, chairman of the House committee on military affairs, does not believe that Congress will, at this session, restore the sale of beer In the army canteen, as urged by army officers. He thinks Congress will be slow In facing the aggregate petitions of the prohibition ists and W. C. T. U. of the country. The brewers are said not to be taking any part In the fight for the canteen, believing that It is a contest between the officers of the army and the W. C. T. U., and that the army will eventually win. The brewers do, however, make the accusation in papers friendly to them that there is an unholy un intentional alliance between the W. C. T. U. and the whisky distillers and wholesale people of the country against restoring the canteen. The brewers say that the sale of beer In the canteen causes an Immense diminution in the sale of whisky in saloons situated on the outskirts of army posts, and that the whisky Interests know this. There fore the whisky interests oppose the res toration of the canteen, quietly lending their help to the work of the W. C. T. U. It Is declared there will be some great fig'htlng on prohibition and the canteen be fore Congress closes its present session. PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ECLIPSE. Admiral Chester Says the Observations Were Most Important. Hear Admiral C. M. Chester, the super intendent of the Naval Observatory, who went to the Mediterranean last summer as the representative of the observatory to witness the August eclipse of the sun, re turned to Washington last night. He said that while many good photographs of the eollipse had been obtained the real results of the observations will not be known until these photographs are thoroughly studied. It will be two or three months before much can be known about what discoveries have been made, said the admiral, and it will be several years before the full results can be published. Continuing, the admiral said: "This observation should be by far the most fruitful of any in astronomical his tory. We are particularly hopeful that it will throw light upon the natures of the 1 corona, which plays out Into space, with rapidly changing shapes, for several times the sun's diameter. So far we are able to study the corona only during an eclipse. We may expect some entirely new discov eries, which will raise now questions and open new fields for further investigation. That has been a result of every modern eclipse observation. "The naval observatory stations In Spain ? and Algiers were almost the only ones in the shadow path to be favored with satis factory weather. We obtained sixty or ? seventy photographs In the three and a half, minutes of totality, and. Including the ? plates exposed In the first said final stages of the eclipse, several hundred. With each , of our twenty-five p&incapal Instruments , we obtained several exposures In totality. ] The spectroscopic plates are even more im portant than the telescopic pictures, tor we depend for toowtedge^oT^tbe the vartous prominences and radiations. Tlielr story !t will, of course, take longest to read, for every spectrum line must be counted and compared." Troops Going to the Philippine?. The military secretary Is advised that the headquarter*, Imnd and 1st Battalion. 24th Infantry (14 officers and 22B enlisted men), and the 3d Battalion. 24th Infantry (12 of ficers and 242 enlisted men), have left Forts Harrison and Missoula, Mont., respectively, for San Francleco, en route for the Phil ippine Islands. The military secretary Is also advised that the 2d Battalion. 7th Infantry (? officers and 184 enlisted men), have arrived at Fort Missoula, Mont., for station. HOTELS. The A i 14th and K Sts. N.W.
