MARE ISLAND employees.
Foremen Must Use Respectful Lam
guage to Those Under Them.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Secretary
Long to-day sent the following letter
to the commandment of the navy yard at
Mare Island, Cal:
referring to the investigation made
by Lieutenant J. j. Knapp, U. S. N,
in obedience to the departments orders
on November 10, 1897, while the report
of Lieutenant Knapp shows that no
change is necessary among the fore
men, the department Is not at all sat
isfied that Foreman Laborer w. l. Sar-
gent in the department of yards and
docks, and Master Joiner Robert Hood,
Master Painter S. T. Gillard and La
borer IN Charge John Shean in the de-
partment of construction and repair,
have not been in the habit of using
very proper language to the veterans
and other employees under them, and
the department infers that they are in
the habit of using language which is
properly subject to criticism.
TN their language and bearing to-
ward the veterans and other employees
the department expects them to avoid
offensiveness 1t should be borne in
mind that foremen can be firm and get
the best work out of their men with
out the use of insulting and humiliat-
ing language. Persons to whom power
and authority are given over subordi-
mates should conduct themselves in
| manner and speech in such a way as
to gain the respect of those whose work
they direct.
Il want you to call the above named
men before you and read this letter
to them, and tell them that further
offense of this kind will be considered a
reason for discipline.
THE department has confidence in
the ability and integrity of Naval Con-
structor VIM. J. Baxter, u. S. N, and
Civil Engineer r. c. Holiday, Z. S. N,
and so far as it has been informed has
no criticism to make concerning the
| manner in which they have enforced the
labor regulations and conducted their
work, but it desires you to impress upon
their minds that it is their duty, as re-
sponsible heads of departments, that
their foremen and other men in charge
should at all times in their official rela-
tons be civil in manner and speech
toward their subordinates."

TRAGEDY IN TENNESSEE.
A Widow Shoots a College Pro.
lessor and Commits Suicide.

MEMPHIS (Tenn.), Jan. IA sensa-
tional tragedy occurred on the banks
of Noncennah Creek, in the outskirts
OF Memphis this afternoon.
DR.. S. A. Rogers, Professor of Anat-
omy at the Memphis Medical College,
ex-Presfdent of the Board of Health,
and one of the most prominent physi-
clans of this city, was shot by Mrs.
Mary Sandbrink widow, and tonight
lies in a dying condition at st. Joseph
Hospital.
After shooting DR.. Rogers the woman
turned the revolver to her breast and
sent a bullet through her heart. No
one witnessed the shooting.
Before lapsing into Inconsistencies
DR.. Rogers blamed the woman for the
deed, saying that she had decoyed him
to the place by writing him note. 1t
is said that she was infatuated with the
doctor, and on one occasion threatened
to kill heEself in his presence.

broken an engagement to marry her

REV. WILLIAM RAIDER.
Why He Was Not Present at the
Execution of Durrant.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7.--According
to promise made to Durrant on
Wednesday that he would attend him
on the scaffold, Rev. William RAIDER
went to San Quentin to-day. When he
was informed that Edward Davis had
offered his services, had been temporari-
ly accepted and had then been set aside
pending the call for Father Lagan, Mr..
RAIDER went to the Warden's office and
sought an interview with Durrant's ia
Their and mother. Mrs. Durrant said
they had already sent for Father Lagan,
and later told Mr.. RAIDER that Theodore
had decided to become Catholic.
With reference to his position in the
matter, Mr. RAIDER said in part: '.That
Father Lagan was asked to officiate was
no great surprise to me. Mrs Durrant
has reasons which are more mysterious
than clear. My own opinion is that
Theodore Durrant knew of my late be-
lief in his guilt. In our last interview
was convinced beyond doubt that he
had knowledge of the Emmanuel Church
murders, and that no one need fear for
moment that an innocent man has
been executed. or one who was totally
ignorant of the church atrocities

was over-estimated. Germany's action,
1t was thought, had no other purpose
than the acquisition of a naval station,
and did not Indicate that she had any
Interior designs upon Chinese territory
other than for the purpose stated Great
Britain and the other powers, it was
thought, would be granted the same
concessions Germany had acquired, but
beyond this the European nations
would not seek to go.
The opinion was also expressed that
the interests OF the United States in
China were not at present in any sense
involved, nor We're they likely to be.
The proposed relief expedition to the
Klondike also was touched upon. 1t
is believed that some doubt has arisen
as to the need for additional supplies
in the new gold fields, and it is not
likely that final relief steps will be
taken until the necessity for the ex-
petition has been fully demonstrated

in a loss to the Government of a con-
sidera BILE SUN.


About three years ago the practice
Of checking money order accounts in
the office of the Auditor was changed,
thew being audited by stubs or coupons,
and rot by the orders themselves, as
had been done previously.
When Auditor Castle took charge of
the office he discovered defects in the
system which made it possible for dis
honest Postmasters to rob the Govern
ment, and ascertained that there We're
nine possible ways in which they
could be done. Several cases have al
ready been detected in which orders
were issued for as high as $40 and 500,
and were reported by the issuing Post
master at one or two dollars each. How
many such frauds were perpetrated
during the three years in which the
old system was in operation can only
be guessed. An examination of the
one hundred million orders issued dur
ing that time could be made, the Audi
tor believes, by 100 men in q year, and
if the fate of fraudulent orders just
discovered continues, he thinks it might
be we'll to do this. How much the
Government has lost will not be de-
termined unless such an examination
is made.
