WHERE IS COACHMAN HOWARD?
Inspector Dodge Tosk Him from
Ellis Island Last Night
Gen. Tracy Protests to Secretary
Carlisle by Wire.

Nobody knows whether or not John
James Howard Is on Ellis Island or
elsewhere, excepting the man who has
him in charge.
He is the British iarvey employed in
England on contract with ex-Vice-
President Levi p. Morton, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor of New
York.
DR.. Senner, the Commissioner of I'M
migration. declares that the man is
not in his custody. and he does not
know and does not care whether the
man is on Ellis Island or in Jericho
The captured coachman is in charge of
Inspector Dodge, of Vermont, and it is
said that the inspector took the man
from the island to the city last night
presumably to lock him up elsewhere,
and possibly to give him good time

Asked whether or not some people
might be impressed by the disclosure
that Mr.. Morton has a retinue OF Eng

Morton had acquired his British en-
courage while abroad, where. as Minis
ter and traveller, he has spent a great
deal of time, and rather than discharge
them he has brought those domestics
who cared to come to this country.
The position taken by Mr.. Morton and
his counsel Is that Howard is Il personal
and domestic servant, exempted from
the exclusion by the law.
Gen. Tracy wired Secretary Carlisle
at length last night and Is awaiting a
reply. II none comes. or the Secretary
OF the Treasury decides to hold Howard,
