TO RENEW FIGHT ON SCHLEY.
,.,.,ucra,s Determine to Reopen the An
Gent Controversy.

Washington, D G., June 18.-
secretary Long and the bureaucrats
q the navy department lave deter
mined to reopen the Schley Sampson
controversy. 1t was officially stated
4 the navy department yesterday
,hot lieutenant Commander Hodg-
.on's statement regarding the alleged
colloquy between himself and Ad-
viral Schley would be investigated
bv the department officials. The
Investigation will of course os a
secret inquisition, at which Admiral
scbley is more than likely to be
badly treated.
A number of the ranking naval
oAscsrs who have made insinuating
remarks regarding Admiral Schley 8
eonduct on the day of the battle off
Santiago will doubtless be called
mon to explain their own conduct.
Tha indications are that Admiral
schley's friends will demand sena-
torial investigation to settle the
matter.
Capt. Robley D. Evans ("Fighting
Bob') has made several declarations
regarding Admiral Schley's conduct
both before and during the naval
engagement off Santiago. Admiral
Schley's friends are now claiming
that while the Admiral was standing
on the bridge of the Brooklyn di-
rscting the fight in person Captain
Evans was behind the coming tower
Of the Iowa directing the movements
Of his vessel from that position.
II lis also asserted that during the
battle Captain Evans son, naval
cadet, was sent below at the COM
mand OF his father, while younger
and more inexperienced cadet was
placed on duty in a more exposed
position. Admiral Schley is now
visiting friends in Maryland
Admiral Sampson will be relieved
Of the command of the North Allan
tic squadron next fall and the logical
successor is Admiral Schley, but il
is believed his enemies in the navy
department will carry the fight SO
far as to keep him out of this com
mand

WOMAN INFORMS ON HER BROTHER.
| Mrs. Corneiia Street of Shawnee Accuses
| Alexander Jester of Murder.


Alexander Jester of Murder.
Wichita, Kas, June 1S.-Mrs.
Cornelia Street of Shawnee, Ok, has
written letter to Sheriff Simmons
here asking that he send officers to
Shawnee at once to arrest Alexander
Jester, her aged brother. who, she
says, killed man nearly thirty years
ago. The woman says that even if
he is her brother she desires him
punished for the alleged crime.
Sheriff Simmons has communicated
with all parties concerned and will
soon make the arrest. Jester is so
years old.
The letter tells the story of the
killing, as follows:
On May 2, 1871, Alexander Jester,
then an elderly man, and his com,
panion, William Gates, were travel
ing together. They were going east
by wagon route and camped near
Warrensburg, Mo. That night Jester
killed his companion and burned his
body on a pile of brush. He sat in
the darkness and watched his body
burn and when he thought all evi.
dence had been consumed he took
the team and other valuables and
started back.
He was arrested at Valley Center,
kas, and brought to Wichita for
preliminary trial. Afterward he was
taken to Varrensburg, Mo, and
placed in jail, but escaped, aud for
nearly thirty years he has evaded
the officers of the law.
Jester moved to Shawnee, Ok,
and changed his name to W. II. Hill.
There he has lived quietly ever since,
being now 80 years old. The officers
at Warrensburg spent hundreds OF
dollars in attempting to capture the
Gates slayer. Young Gates parents,
who live near Alton, Ill, or did
several years ago, also spent thous
ands of dollars in hiring private
detectives, but to no avail.

Kind Words tor our New SuperIn-
tendent.

Prof. j. III. Taylor was elected
superintendent of the Butler schools,
by the school board of that city last
Friday. He had previously been re-
elected by the Greenfield board, but
that body accepted his resignation
at 8 called meeting on Saturday and
decided to tender the position to
Prof |. \. Evrard, who was for sew
eral years principa! of the schools
here, but who is at present at Rich
and, Mo. Prof. Evrard has inform.
ed the board that he will accept the
place.
Prof. Taylor's new place is decided
ly superior to the Greenfield super
intendency, but our people will allow
him to go with considerable regret.
His work in the schools here las
been accompanied by such progress
as to make the schools second to
none in this section, and to force a
general recognition of his ability as
a school man The Butler schools
employ twenty one teachers and the
salary of the new superintendent Is
fixed at $1,000 per year.
Prof j. NJ. Taylor was first elect
ed superintendent of the Greenfield
schools in 1895 and has been re-
elected each year since that time.
It is due to his Efforts that the
graded course now in use was adopt
ed aud that the school was placed
in articulation with the university.
Since coming to Dade county he
has served one term as school com
missioner and one wear as president
of the Southwest Missouri teachers
/ association. He is young man, a
splendid educator, earnest. ambi-
tious. progressive and pushing We
bespeak for him the same success at
Butler which has characterized his
work in Greenfield.
