HARRIES COMMANDS GUARD
View of the President Regarding the
Dispute.
Disapproves of the Opinion of thu
Judge Advocate General
of the Army.

Acting Secretary Meiklejohn of the War
Department said this afternoon that no ac-
ton had yet been taken by the War De-
partment on the question submitted by the
Secretary of the Navy, involving the legal
right of Col. Harries, commanding the LIST
District of Columbia Volunteer Infantry, to
nominate, as brigadier general command
ing the National Guard of the District, the
officers of the naval battalion Of the Dis
trict. He said that the matter was under
consideration and would be decided in 4
day or two.
An army officer of high rank, who has
had recent conference with the President
in regard to the case OF Col riarries, said
to a Star reporter this afternoon that lot
of unnecessary talk WAS being indulged in
in regard to the status of that officer. The
fact is, he said. that the President looks
upon Col. Harries as still being in COM
mand of the National Guard of the Dis
trict, and the fact that he had Joined the
volunteer army during the Spanish war
has in wise prejudiced or changed his
standing in the District National Guard.
The officer said that Harries had never
been removed or reliev ID from duty in COM
mand of the District National Guard, and
that the President did not propose tnat he
should be- The opinion of the judge advo-
cate general of the army that tho officers

missions il the volunteer army hai thereby
relinquished their Offices in the gard, was

wise binding upon the authorities.
There Is no special occasion for haste.
he said, in making the naval appoint
ments, and in case there is any legal
doubt as to the right of Colonel Harries to
nominate the officers it is regarded as a
very simple matter to postpone the ap-
pointments until after the District regi-
n ent has been mustered out and Colonel
Harries is recomnissioned as brigadier
general commanding the District National
Guard, in the event that such action is
deemed necessary.

statement which caused a sensation. He
said:

Picard, or the razor of Colonel Henry, ii
will be murder. for l have no idea of COM
hitting suicide

shouted ''Vive Picquart,'
The judges. however after a short deIib-
GRAFTON. decided to indefinitely adjourn the
case and Colonel Picquart was led away
between policemen.

Colonel PiCquart. a detective. under

affair. who was found hanged in his lodg
Ings about year ago, under circumstances
which cast some doubt upon the theory put

THE WEST END BANK.
Purpose of President stevens to Re-
sign-John Taylor Arms Mentioned

1t Is understood that by the end of the
present year Mr.. Frederick c. Stevens the
president of the West End National Bank,
will place in the hands of the directors of
the bank his resignation as president. He
viii probably retain his interest in the
bank and continue in the directory but he
desires to be free from the additional care
which the position of bank president carries
with 1t. Mr. Stevens wishes in the matter
are well understood by the directors of the
bank, and while they will part with him
with regret yet they appreciate the fact
that he has other demands upon his time.
He is "A man of large means, and in addi-
ton, owns an extensive stock farm in Atti-
ca, N Y, and his horses are prize winners
whenever they enter competition. 1t is his
purpose TO continue to make his winter
home in this city.
The directors of the bank have not as vet
decided upon Mr.. Stevens successor but II
is the opinion in financial circles that If
Mr.. John Taylor Arms can be induced to
accept the place, he will be the choice of
the directors
