Boldiers Wac Deserted the Grant
Caught by Quarantine.


They saw the waving cocoa palms
and inviting beach at Waikiki; the
wind from the shore carried to the
restless soldiers on the big transport
Grant the sound of natives singing
captivating melodies by moonlight.
All this combined with the stories they
had read in the Sunday editions of San
Francisco newspapers about Hawaiian
delights induced four of the boys in
blue to come ashore. although they
knew tnat they would be looked upon
as deserters.
Clyde Beanar, Louis NJ Scholl. John
II Callahan and A. +. Stephen were
the young warriors who deserted to ex-
plore Honolulu. They looked so lonely
that the police took pity on them and
gave them entertainment at the gov
eminent hotel on Merchant street. Yes

were taken out to Camp Mckinley in a
quartermaster's wagon where they will
anguish as prisoners until a military
tribunal decides their fate, and where
the dancers of the picture books and
other festive features are very scarce

THE IDAHO MINE TROUBLES
W. X. simpson Witness Before the
Investigating Committee

The Committee on Military Affairs of
the House spent several hours yesterday
in hearing evidence in the Couer d'Alene
labor trouble. William r. Simpson. a
commissioner of Shoshone County Idaho.
who deposed in the spring of 1899,
was called in rebuttaI of Governor Steun-
enberg. and new matter being brought out
in this way his examination was pro-
longed till late in the afternoon.
Mr.. Simpson denied ever having said
at a time prior to the labor troubles at
Wardner that there was to he bloodshed.
This was testified TO by Governor Steunen-
berg when witness before the committee
In reply to questions from Mr.. Robertson
and Mr.. Dick the witness denied that ne
had any advance information of the trou-
Bile. Up to the time of the outbreak at
Wardner he had perceived no indication
of riot outside of a message which he
had received from Superintendent Bur-
bridge, of the Bunker Hill mine. Indicating
that he (Burbridge expected disaster.
In answer to question by Mr.. Sulzer,
Mr.. Simpson said he was q commissioner
of Shoshone County and ne was removed
from office by the Bunker Hill and Sui
livan Mine Company. He was elected by
the people, arrested without a warrant.
and imprisoned without having 8 charge
preferred against him. He was finally re-
moved from office on charges trumDed up
by the officers of the mining company
He was examined at considerable length
by Mr.. Dick TO the functions and powers
of the county commissioners.
Mr.. Cox elected the statement from the
witness that he was turned out of the
office to which he was elected on an in
formation. There was a trial but there
were no witnesses against him. No evi
dence was brought against him. and TWEEN
ty or thirty witnesses appeared to es.ify
as to his good character. Mr.. Simpson
said that as deputies were appointed un-
der authority of the mine companies those
companies desired to get rid of the COM
missioners that the appointment of the
deputies might be under the control of
the mine officers.

NAVAL POLICY BOARD.
The First Meeting. With Admira
Dewey Presiding.

| The first meeting of the General Board
of the Navy, or the Naval Policy Board.
as it is commonly called. was held yester-
day at the Navy Department. Admin al
Dewey. the President ex officio of the
| board, presided. The other members pres
ent were Rear Admiral A. 5. Crownin
shield, Chief OF the Bureau OF Navigation;
Capt. C. II. Stockton, President of the
Naval War College; Capt. Asa Walker,
principal assistant of the Naval War Col
lege; Capt. C. d. Sigsbee, Chief of the
Bureau of Naval Intelligence, all ex Of
ficio members, and Capt. H. c. Taylor.
Capt. +. Z. Chadwick, and Col. G. c. Reid,
General Inspector of the Marine Corps.
Lieut.. H. H. Ward was appointed recorder
of the board.
The order of the Secretary Of the Navy,
creating the board, was read, and an or
ganiZatiOn effected. Committees were ap-
pointed to prepare material relating to tie
work of making offensive and defensive
plans of naval warfare. which will be con-
sidered al future meetings. Nothing could
be learned concerning the personnel of
the committees or the topics to be con-
sidered. That part of the work directed
toward formulating plans for rayal
maneuyres, and outlines for offensive ard
defensive warfare. will be kept secret.
The data bearing upon the naval strength
of she different powers the geogra phit al
location of each country, ard all o.her ele-
ments which might pay a part in naval
warfare will be studied with a view OF
formulating plans for the best distribu-
tion of the naval forces of the United
States in the event OF war with any Of the
couEt les recognized as factors in the list
of naval powers.
The formulation of such plans will in
volve an immense amount of investi9a-
tiOD of minute details, and it will probably
be long time before even an elemental
series of plans can be finished AS SHIPS
are added TO our own Navy and TO tie
navies of other powers notifications III
necessarily have 10 be made in plans agreed
upon, so that the beard viii have as mach
work as il can attend to for a number Of
years. According to the order of the Sec
rotary of the Navy. the board is required
to hold meetings at least Once a month. /
but it is probable that for a time. at least,
meetings will be held more frequently.
