HOSPITAL SHIP REPORT.
Charges Against Missourfs Officers
sustained-Some DismissaIs.

ned-SOme Dfsnfssais.
Washington, March 1j.-Acting Secre-
tary Of War MeikIejohn has received
from San Francisco report on the in
yestigation of the voyage of the hospital
ship Missouri from New York to Manila
and thence to San Francisco. Trouble
on the Missouri developed soon after the
ship left New York. There was con-
slant friction between Captain Dillon,
master of the ship, and Major Arthur,
the surgeon i'll charge. When the Mis-
souri reached San Francisco, after long
voyage from the Philippines, with nearly
800 sick soldiers on board, Major Arthur
made formal charges to the war depart-
mcnt against several of the ships oil
GERS. including Captain Dillon.
An otlici;el investigation was ordered by
direction of the secretary of war, pending
which Captain Dillon was suspended.
The report of the marine superintendent
Of the army transport service, who ~
vestigated the charges, is decidedly ad-
verse to Captain Dillon. w. w. Barrett,
the first officer, and Charles III. Lowal-
yaln, third officer, each Of whom has been
discharged from the transport service.
The report says that Captain Dillon be-
haved in manner i'll betting the mas
ter of any vessel. that the testimony
showed that the first officer had been M
der the influence Of liquor while on duty
and had improperly followed orders given
him by others in authority than the ships
master, and that the third officer had also
been under the influence of liquor.
The testimony of Major Arthur was
that Captain Dillon had used most pro
| fame language and had conducted himself
improperly. He said he tried to get rid
of Captain Dillon at Manila but Colone
Miller, the 1uartermaster there, had Nc
authority to remove him. Major Arthur
admitted having exercised authority oycl
refractory members of the crew and said
that with Captain Dillon's knowledg,
and consent he had frequently had then
put in irons.
Captain Dillon in his report denied the
newspaper interviews reporting him Il.
saying the Missouri was an unsafe ship
He did not deny the charge of profanity
but did deny using obscene language
The Missouri is now at San Francisco
undergoing repairs.

BATH SOLDIERS HOME.
Report Of the Inquiry COMMITTEES
Praises the management.

Report oil the Inquiry GoMmit1es
Praises the management.
Albany, March 1J-The assembly COM
mittee to investigate the Bath Soldiers
home has made its report through Chair
man Platt. 1t says in part:
1.-THE population Of the home was 1880.
Our committee deemed it advisable OH
account Of the various articles thar had
appeared in the public press of late con-
cerning this institution in reference to the
local interference in regard to the pur-
chasing of goods and the employment Of
citizen employees to look into this mat
ter. We had the officers of the homo
brought before our committee and exam
incd them in reference to the local inter-
ference and, much to our surprise. found
that these articles We're untrue. 1t was
stated by the acting commandment ANA the
quartelmaster, who have sole charge Of
the purchasing of supplies for the home
and the hiring of the citizen employees,
that they had not been intcrfered with
locally in any way.
"From our investigation of the history
and growth of the home we are convinced
that no small part of the credit for the
splendid results accomplished is due to
the efficient and patriotic services rem
dered by the local members of the board
of trustees who reside in the village of
Bath They have given much Of their
valuable time and have promoted its de-
yelopmcnt with paternal devotion. fheir
watchful care and extens1e knowledge
of details required in the past will prove
of inestmable value in the future. and
the committee therefore unanimously
recommend that such local members as
can be induced to remain be continued on
the board.
"After having gone through the numer.
GUS buildings connected with the home
and thoroughly inspecting the same W.
visited the dining room and witnessed
the members partake of meal. and VIC
can arrive at ne other, conclusion but
that the state of New York has reason tr
be proud of this institution. and We fee
that it is our duty to compliment the off
GERS of the home and the board of trus
tees as to its splendid condition and eS
eellent management"
The reDsrt was laid over for debate.

Think Farra Was Insane.

The mystery surrounding the suicide
of John G. Farra, B. 4 o. cashier Of
freight receipts, has not yet been cleared.
1t was thought by many persons not
intimately acquainted with him, that q
shortage in his accounts had caused him
to commit the deed. Now it is said that
his accounts are o. X. and the public
generally is coming to the opinion that
it was insanity Of soma form that had
prompted the act. Personal friends say
that they noticed strange behavior on
his part which they at the time at
tribnted to illness, as he had told them
he was not feeling well. Ii was reported
yesterday that he carried 5000 insur.
ance in the North American Company
and that there might be contest over
the matter ot the payment Of the policy
owing to tile manner Of death.

LAST DAY or COURT.
Argument in NIandamus Proceed
ings Against Mayor and Coun-
ell Of New Castle.

Argument was heard in the Superior
Court yesterday in the mandamus pro-
ceedings brought by the Road Commits
siorers of New Castle hundred against
the Mayor and Council Of New Castle.
In 1898, the Legislature passed law
compelling New Castle TO give the road
commissioners an annual sum of 5000,
by reason OF the fact that the city had
extended its boundaries into the rural
part of the hundred and this tax was
imposed upon the municipality in lieu
of the ordinary hundred road taxes.
New Castle has failed to levy and collect
this road tax and to pay the 5000 to the
owes ST. 800, less credit OF 800. The
proceedings are to compel the levy and
payment.
The Court handed down decision
against the defendant in the case of the
use of Ella Smith vs.. William Simmons,
late sheriff, the question being the
proper distribution among creditors of
the proceeds of a sheriff's sale. The
plaintiff receives $400 with interest
thereon at 20 per cent. for three years,
the percentage being statutory penalty.
An extension of time for entering se-
curlty ana dlssolVlng the attachment
was asked for by Judge Ball in the case
of White Bros. vs.. Joseph Bellah.
Liburne Chandler opposed the applica
ton. The Court said it had no power tc
enlarge statute, this being the last day
of Court and the day for entering se
curity. Bellah is benefited under the
intestacy of Edward I. Bellah, and the
plaintiffs are seeking to recover under al
old Judgment for $4,000.

Birds Near Milford.
The contract received by John Ward
and John Bennett, of Milford, some time
ago from New York milliners for 10000
crows, crow black birds and sea gulls,
has aroused much Indignation through
out the country and every step possible
to stop the men from filling the order is
being taken by different societies and
prominent State officials.
Alfred D. Poole, president OF the Della
ware State Game Protective Association,
and Wilmer Stone, OF Philadelphia, who
is chairman of the game protective com.
mittee of the American Ornithologists
Union, went to Dover yesterday morn
ing and had talk with Governor Tun-
nell in regard to the matter.
Mr.. Poole was seen last night by a
representative of THE Sun and stated
that they had most satisfactory talk
with the Governor.
"He is thoroughly in sympathy with
the movement" said Mr.. Poole, sand
ready and willing to invoke the entire
machinery of the Executive Department
OF the State to suppress any slaughter o.
the birds. Secretary of State Hughes
was not in Dover, but Governor Tunnel
said he would have conference with
him as soon as possible and they wonlc
then do all in their power to prevent
it."
Mr.. Poole further stated that he talked
with several parties while in Dover ant
they were all opposed to the slaughter
1t has also aroused much interest anc
Indignation among the farmers down thu
State and they are bitterly against it.
Nathan Hutchins, who is one of th'
detectives for the Delaware Game Pro
tcctive Association, has been to Milford
and warned the parties that if they ar
caught killing the birds they would b
prosecuted.
