PICKED UP STARVING.
PitiabIe Plight of n COlOred Child
ia New York,


NEW YORK. Nov. 1L-Peter Johns. a
negro boy, five years old, was removed to
Bellevue Hospital from police headquar-
ters today suffering from starvation. Ma
irons Travers. who is at headquarters. said
today that in all her ten years experience
she had never seen a worse case. and DR..
Holden, CT Bellevue Hospital. after exam
ining the boy declared that his condition
was critical.
Policeman Andrew Donohue, OF the West
Thirty seventh Street station house, took
the boy to headquarters late last night.
He said that the boy had been found at
Tenth Avenue and Fortieth Street by Mrs.
Mary Thomas, of $50 West Forty-fifth
Street. When Matron Travers took him
in charge she found that his clothing con-
sisted of an old calico shirt and an old
piece Of cloth both wrapped around his
body He was greatly emaciated and said
that he had not had any food for long
time. How long. he could not tell. The
matron gave him some food, but he could
not retain it.
When questioned the boy said that he
had been turned out OF doors by the wom-
an with whom he lived. She kept lot OF
boys and girls. he said, but he could not
tell much about her. Two other boys. he
declared, were turned out the same time
he was. The police are making an inves-
tigatiOn

he declared that the conversation with
the former had been misrepresented by the
newspapers culy as to- its terms. but not
as to its substance Lieutenant Hodgson
had previously sent another letter of simi-
lar purport to Admiral Schley.
1T is evident that the course Of action
| OF the department in this matter is the
usual course of action resorted to by the de-
partuent in order to give an officer an op-
portunity to explain that which. IL not
explained. would lay him open to the
charge of improper talk or conduct.
The question may be raised why the de-
partment did not call upon Admiral Schley
to explain why he had published the let
ter which must have given the impression
that such conversation had never taken
place, and not the accompanying letter and
the former letter. both Of which showed
that the conversation had taken place. IL
not in the terms stated, yet in substance;
and why he did not explain the circum
stances that those two letters. which con-
/ tained the real facts, were held back, while
the other letter which was calculated to
give different impression was published.
The consideration which the department
showed in not calling upon the admiral for
an explanation OF these matters can GER
tainly not be rendered as persecution.
The foregoing is all that the depart
has assigned to Admiral Schley such work
as would properly fall to an officer of his
or superior rank in any ordinary sea SER
vice. He has also been given every op-
portunity to appear before the public.
No doubt the battle Of Santiago has been
much discussed outside of the department.
but the department itself has so far never
expressed an opinion as to the maneuvres
OF our ships In that battle
Nothing therefore can be further from
the truth than the statement that Schley
has been prosecuted Whatever has been
done was done with your consent, and to
allay rather than to further stir up the
the excitement which is always manifested
in public discussion of personal merits.
Admiral Schley has no grounds for COM
plant. nor has he ever made a complaint.
Should he do so the Department is ready
to make any investigation that he may
desire. or submit its reports or claims to
any competent authority.
1T is not conceivable that any naval Off
Ger possessing sense of honor should tor
moment suffer criticism to say nothing OF
persecution on the part Of any authority
over him. without Immediately calling for
an investigation. Admiral Schley has had
many years experience in the naval pro-
fession and has met with every consider
alton from this Department. Therefore
the fact that he has accepted our course
OF action without any demur is a clear
proof that he is entirely satisfied with It
or at least that he deems it just and con-
siderate and has no cause for complaint
1T may be that the Navy Department
has made some mistake in this matter, but
there can certainly be no question of any
persecution
