STEALING FROM A NAVY YARD.
Brooklyn Detectives Investigate and
Cause Three Arrests.

NEW YORK, Oct. For the past few
months somebody has been making a reg
ular business Of rohbing the general stores
at the navy yard in Brooklyn. Rear Ad-
miral Philip made up his mind to stop
the thefts and catch the thieves if he
could. He informed the Navy Department
that he would like to run a detective bu-
rear for a time. but the department in
formed him that Congress had neglected
to make any appropriation for the con-
Quoting of such an enterprise in connec-
tion with the navy yard. So the admiral
called in Captain Reynolds, Chief OF the
Brooklyn detectives, and asked for help.
Captain Reynolds assigned Detectives Har-
rington, Ruddy, and Donovan to do the
work and yesterday the first arrests were
made.
Edward L. Wheeler, thirty-fiye years old,
a ship chandler was arrested charged with
stealing. on September %, from the navy
yard four cases of steel metal, valued at
$1,000 He was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Benedict, who held
him in 81 600 bail for examination. He said
he had never had four cases OF steel
metal from the navy yard IN MS possession
and could not understand why he should
have been arrested. Yesterday evening
John b. Cawthorne and z. F. Poynter,
forty-one years old, both ship filters and
employed at the yard, for years, were ar
rested by Deputy United States Marshal
Caldwell charged with being accomplices
of Wheeler. They were held for exami-
nation.
cawthorne and Poynter. who have been
earning 81 a day at the yard for many
years, were in the habit of getting orders
issued to them for material 10 be used
on vessels being refitted at the yard. A
day or two ago person, whose name the
detectives do not care TO make public al

eral storekeeper. for his signature an order
calling for the transfer CT metal from the
general stores 10 building No. rs. The ma
! terial never went TO building No. 10. but
il had been taken from the general stores
and could not be found in the yard. One
OF the detectives said yesterday that g

NOTES OF THE NATIONAL GAME.

Dunn's magnificent fielding in Thurs
days game prevented the Senators from
scoring more base hits.
Connie Mack, of the MiIwaukees. and
Jake Wells. Of the Richmonds, were guests
Of the Washington club on Thursday, and
saw the Senators defeat the Superbas.
If the Superbas were hard pressed in the
championship race, all the games in which
Wrigley has played, which are clearly lille
gal, would cut big ice, as they would un-
doubtedly be thrown out under the pro-
visions Of baseball law. To eliminate the
games now, however, with the big lead the
superbas have, would still leave them on
easy street.
The grounds at National Park yesterday
were thoroughly saturated with water,
rendering them unfit for ball playing.

Will Be Removed From Texas.

Kansas City, July l9-The gene
raj Offices Of the Pittsburg & Gull
road at Texarkana, win be removed
to this city August l, the change
being made by the receivers, with a
view to reducing the operating ex-
penses. There is a Texas statute
which requires that railroad oper-
ating under a charter granted by
that state must have general offices
within the state. Heretofore the
road has maintained its headquar-
tiers here, and also general office
at Texarkana. The receivers hold
that the Texas statute applies only
to roads operated by their owners,
aud the road now being under the
control of the United States court,
| it is held that it is exempt from the
statute.
The above was taken from the
st Louis Globe Democrat and tells
the tale. In regard to the above,
the city editor met Mr.. Mayfeld of
the Texas Railroad Commission at
the Randolf this morning and APP
prised him of the above n9ws. he
said. Yes, l am here now, on this
account, as l have been apprised of
the roads intention, aud came to
gather such information of their
movements as | deem proper to
make the road comply to state laws
lif it be possible to do so. Here Mr..
| Mayfeld said that he had asked
the attorney generals opinion or
the contention set up by the re-
eeivers which they seem to think
gives them the right to move theil
headquarters out of Texas, but NJ
to the present time he had not re
ceived reply.
Mr., Mayfeld further said: In the
absence of an opinion from the at
torney general, l laid the matte
before Gov. Sayers, and he sent mt
here with instructions to wire hin
Immediately the situation.
Mr.. Mayfeld SAID he was conf
dent that the road would forfei
its charter should it move its head
quarters from the state and hi
wonld use his best endeavors il
keeping the general offices within
the boundary of the state.
We learn from an attorney here
that a railroad which had its head
quarters in Galveston, Texas, un
dertook to move out of the stat
when in the hands of a receive
and Judge Bryant decided against
the road. This we learn is a simi
, lar case.
We are satisfied that Mr. May
field will leave no law books unmen
toned bearing upon the case il
hand, and if it be possible he vii
j., show the receivers that they shal
! not be interpreters of the law.

ditor's office, and we shall take this
as true until we hear from Railroad
Commissioner Mayfeld. 1t may be
that the Pee Gee has had its char

TEXAS PENSIONERS.

The opinion Of those who know
best Is, that of the numerous eX-
Confederates who have applied Tor
pension from the state OF Texas,
i. 600 will be placed on the rolls
The appropriation for this year i
Sl25, 600; this will give each OF the
I. 900 about 81. 08 a month.
The appropriation will he IN
creased to 1925, 900 next year. but,
it is supposed, the rolls will be in
creased in proportion. Ii is to be
hoped the next legislature will in
crease the appropriation to an
amount that will give each OF the
old fellows not less than 81 90 a
month. Two bits a day arenot too
much to give the old battle-scarred
heroes, and the Texan who objects
toEthe appropriation should emf
CRATE; for Texas is too big for him.
The Courier.
The amateur" understands frem
this clipping from the Seer; first,
that the appropriation for pension
ers in Texas for the year 1900 will
be 1926, 900; second, that it is sup.
posed the rolls will be increased tc
5000; third, that the Courier hopes
that the next legislature will in
crease the appropriation to al
amount that will give each of the
old fellows not less than $3.50
month
The calculation is easy to make
| Mr.. Seer; for if an "old fellow get
81, so per month, he will get 800 pc
year, and 1900 "old fellows" at tn,
same rate, will get S8lO, 600 pc
year. We were incorrect in ou
calculation, Mr.. Seer, but still tn
figures represent an enormous sun
which you say you hope the state o
Texas will appropriate for the "o
fellows" Such a large expenditur
of money would be nothing NOR
than extravaganza, and would b
greater profigacy than ever Coz
poral Tanner dreamed of.
