summons came, they would receive it to-
gether.

As stated in yesterdays Star. the resgna-
reau at New York was accepted by the

cepting the resignation was as follows:
WASHINGTON, July u.
by order of the Secretary of Agriculture
your resignation is accepted, to take effect
at the termination of business today. This
resignation was not called for, therefore
your protest is not recognized You are
hereby directed to turn over charge of the

Ii is creditable to the bureau that twice as
many men volunteered as were needed.
LAS to the controlling officers of the pro-
posed West Indian service, four officers of
nigh rank, yourself included among the
number were requested to hold themselves
in readiness for service in the West Indies,
believing that none Of them would stand
upon a technicality about going. While the
duty involved some personal risks and
hardships, no one except yourself protested
against serving In an hour of emergency.
LAS to assigning you to charge of some
other station, the bureau reserves the right
vested In it by law to order any officer to
such duty as it may see fit to assign him
No order was given you to proceed to the
West Indies; you were only asked to hold
yourself in readiness. 1t is regretted that
you have assumed this untenable and in
subordinate attitude.
