son, recently resigned.
Captain Hodgson has seen service in

with the District Regiment. He was also
an officer in the High School Cadets until
the war broke out First Lient. J. Harry
Bean was also an officer in the Cadets at

nected with the National Guard for some
time as a sergeant in the Fifth Battalion,

GRlDLEY STORY DENIED
The Captains Widow Not in Finan-
ciai Straits.
Mother of the Sea Fighter Pro-
nounces the Erie. Pa. Reports Tn
true-Her Present and Prospective
Resources Said to Be Sufficient.
Son to Enter the Marine Corps.

In spacious. comfortable house on F
Street northwest, surrounded by her son
and two granddaugh,ers. lives the renera-
BILE mother of Captain Charles V. Gridley,
United States Navy. who sacrificed his lie
by remaining with Admiral Dewey to COM
mand the Olympia in the memorable fight
in Manila Bay rather than return home as
be had been urged TO DO by the Admiral.
Captain Gridley's health was impaired by
his long service in Asiatic waters and the
severe strain upon him during the battle
weakened his system TO such an extent
that nature gave out and he died at Kobe,
Japan, en- route for the United States.
Mrs. Ann E. Grdley, the mother, was
seen by Times reporter in regard to
despatch from Erie, Pa, stating that the
widow and children of the deceased officer
were in want. were forced to take boarders
for livelihood and that one daughter was
a helpless invalid. She denied emphatical-
ly that such condition of affairs existed
and said the report was greatly exagger-
ated. ]. p. V. Gridley, the son, also pro-
nounced the story untrue.
The allotment Mrs. Gridley received while
her husband was at sea was $3.50 per month,
which was more than ample for the needs
of herself and family living at Erie. Pa.
Mrs. Gridiey said her daughter-in-law
has good home for life II contains many
handsome and expensive furnishings. "Of
course she cannot eat these" added Mrs.
Gridley. but she has pension of $50 per
month, her father practices law when his
health will permit and one daughter has
a small source of revenue derived from Civ
ing music lessons and teaching. The ntner
daughter is not an invalid as stated. While
she is in delicate health, she is far from
being helpless.
Mrs. Gridley said that her grandson. who
is here being tutored prior to an exam
ipation for the Marine Corps. received a
letter from his mother last Saturday, but
there was nothing in it that would lead her
to believe that affairs at home were as
stated. Captain Gfidley carried a life in
surance of $1,000, which his widow must
have received before this. Her share of
the prize money. not yet allowed, is esti-
mated at from $1,000 to $500, more than
will be received by any other command
ing officer engaged in the battle of Manila,
as Captain Gridley was the senior captain.

Estimates are being made at the Navy
Department upon which will be based the
amount Of money due the officers and crew
OF the Charleston, in compensation for the
loss of their personal effects in the sinking
of that cruiser of the coast of Luzon, No
vember 2.
1t will be remembered that the Charles
ton struck an uncharted reef and. immedi-
ately sank. The crew of 800 men, includ-
ing twenty-five officers, had barely time to
escape before the vessel / - went
down. 1t was at first thought possi-
BILE to save the ship, but up to the present
time the wreckers have been unable to get
near her owing to the heavy seas.
1t is estimated that the loss to the off,
GERS Of the cruiser will amount to $4,000.
This includes their civilian effects. An Of
ficer's equipment is roughly estimated at
81, 900. This includes his uniforms, swords,
and everything pertaining to the service, as
well as his civilian outfit, the extent Of
which is merely matter OF taste.
The United States will. ii is said. in the
future as il has in the past, reimburse its
citizens who may have incurred losses
while In the perforance of military duty,
officers and crew OF the Charleston have
submitted to the department list OF their
individual losses the money will be imme-
diately forwarded TO them.
A loss which it will be impossible TO re-
place is the silk ensign presented to the
Charleston by the Dowager Queen kapio-
lani of the Hawaiian Islands.
Fine silver service Lost.
The Navy Department has no record of
the silver service of the Charleston, but
il is known to have been on board when
she went down. The silver punch bowl
presented by the city of Charleston is also
in the wrecked ship. 1t is probable that
many articles of this character will be
saved by divers. Up to the present time
the heavy seas have prevented any subma-
rine work of this kind.
The original contract price OF the
Charleston was 81 l,017 800. After being fully
equipped with her engines and guns her
cost was estimated to be 81, ,599,s5S She
was built in 1885. and was one of the old
est ships of the new navy.

FORT SCOTT, Kans., Nov. 2s.-Iohn p.
Reese, one of eight members of the ma
tional executive board of the United Mine
Workers Of America, who was sent here
by National President Mitchell to direct
the Kansas coal miners strike. was last
evening found guilty OF contempt of the
Federal court by violating a strikers in
junction, and was sentenced to Jail for
three months and to pay 800 fine and sew
aral hundred dollars costs.
He was at once locked up in the Fed
eral Jail here. He and other officers Of the
union who are deeply moved by his incar-
ceration, and also the strikers, are bitter
in their denunciation OF the court. Reese
is young man of more than ordinary
ability. who is stationed at Abba, Iowa.
and who has a national reputation among
the miners.
The significant point in his conviction
is the fact that it was based upon evidence
showing that he had addressed miners
meetings in the town halls, not on the coal
companies property. The court held that
these addresses had tendency to prevent
miners from working
