By ORDER OF SECRETARY ROOT.
Change In the Personnel Of tho Board Of
Ordnance and Notifications.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-An order issued to-
day BY Secretary Root changes with but one
exception the personnel OF the Board OF Ord
nance and Fortihcations. MsIor-GA. Miles.
now ex-of1cio chairman OF the board. Is re-
tanned, and the following officers are assigned
az mem bers: Brig Zen. John NJ. Wilson.
Chief OF Engineers; Brig .-Gen. A.. II. Buflng-
ton, Chief OF the Bureau Of Ordnance, and Col.
John |. Rodgers. Fifth Artillery. The retiring
officers are Col. Royal I. Frank, retired: Capt.
Charles b. Wheeler. Bureau OF Ordnance, and
Capt. Joseph L. Kuhn. Corps Of Engineers. A
change was made several days ago In the
civilian member OF the board by the appoint
ment Of Thomas J. Henderson. a former Rep
resentatiye in Congress from Illinois. to sue
coed Representative Joseph Cultivate.
For a long time there has been friction be-
| tween the Board OF Ordnance and fortifica-
| lions and the Ordnance Department OF the
Army. The board plans Tor TIE d%efsnces OF
| the coast OF the country and initiates all action
looking to the adoption OF armament. but
its duties do not extend beyond inVesti-
adoption ordnance for the Army. II becomes
the duty OF the Bureau OF Ordnance to. provide
the defences recommended by the, Board OF
! Ordnance, and Notifications, and the friction
| between the board and the bureau has been
because OF differences OF opinion on ordnance
matters.
the attention Of Secretary Root related to tho
Howell gun carriage. The Board OF Ordnance
and Fortiflcations recommended the adoption
OF this carriage as one OF 1.-THE types for use by
| the Army. Gen. 4. II. Burlington. one OF the
inventors OF the Buffngton-C rozier gun car
| rlage now used in the Army, had been ap-
pointed Chief OF the Bureau OF Ordnance. and
when the report Of the Board NJ Ordnance and
Fortifcations came before him for action he
reported against tho adoption OF the Howell
gun carriage. Secretary Root still has, this
matter before him, and the, question OF adopt.
ing the Howell carriage will not be determined
until after another test, to be held Mt Sandy
Hook. 1t Is thought that with the reorganlz "a
ton Of the board and the appointment Of
officers OF higher rank. Including the. Chief OF
the Ordnance Bureau and the Chief Engineer
Ofthc Army. the friction between the Ordnance
Bureau and the board will cease and the tive
| work In greater harmony.

W%AsuINoroN, Jan. 22.-The debate over the
report OF tho special committee on the Rob-
erts case. which begins In the House TO-
morrow and will occupy tho next Two
days. will probably prove even moro In

reference OF his case to the Committee. There
will be at least three speakers who are greatly
Interested In the case: Mr.. Taylor. who 10

Quoted the case against Roberts all through
the House: Mr.. Littlefeld. who prepared the
minority report in favor OF seating and then
expelling him. and Mr.. Roberts himself. Mr..
Roberts said to-day that he had prepared his
case with great care and trusted that the House
would at least grant him his seat. to whichihe
still contends he Is entitled on the print facle
case. Mr.. Littleneld will probably be supported
BY several others who share his views. among
them Representative De Almond Of Missouri.
who signed the report with him. 1t is also
probable that Mr.. Richardson. the Democratic
leader, will speak in support Of the minority
report.
MI. Lacey OF Iowa and other leaders in the

killed n Filipino for going over the wrong side
