NEW PRESIDENT FOR B. AND q.
Rumor That l.. r. LOree VIII Get the
Place.

PHILA DELPHIA, Pa, May 1.-THE
Evening Telegraph today prints the follow
ing:
l.. F. Loree, fourth vice president Of the
Pennsylvania company and general man
ager of the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsburg, is to be named within the next
few days as president Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. J. c. Stuart, general super
intendent of the middle and northwestern
division of the Baltimore and Ohio is TO be
made general superintendent Of the entire
Baltimore and Ohio lines.
The Telegraph adds: Such an arrange
ment will place the Baltimore and Ohio
under the entire control of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad. The latter is already repre-
sented in the directorate of the Baltimore
and Ohio by four of its own people and
with Mr.. Loree as the president its inter
ests would be all the more strongly cement
Cd
While official announcement has been
made of the appointment of Mr.. Loree, the
sources of information are such as to leave
no doubt that this is the intention of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
AS general manager of the lines west of
Pittsburg he has had excellent opportunity
TO study the Pennsylva MAS interests in
connection with the Baltimore and Ohio
Il is the evident intention of the Pennsyl-
vanfa railroad to build up its freight traffic
from the west to Baltimore, which will
give the company another terminal from
which to ship freight to foreign countries.

IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
REPORTED FORTIFICATION OF MA
GELLAN STRAITS.
The Passage Has Distinctly Inter-
national Character and Cannot Be
Made a Mare CInusum.

The attention of naval officers has been
attracted to the reports that the Straits of
Magellan are being fortified by Chile, That
waterway is a customary route used by
United States naval vessels between the
having made that passage during her IA
nous run to join the squadron off Santiago,
while the collier Alexander is now taking
the same route around to the naval coalins
depot at PichilinQui Mexico. the Nero fol-
lowing in few days over the same course
Under these circumstances, it is held by
naval officials that the straits have a dis
tinctly International character, and that
any move to make them mare clausum
would not be tolerated by maritime nations
In this view of the case the fortiffcation
of the straits is said to concern the lnlt@o
States and other maritime nations quite as
much as Argentina. which, with Chile, con-
trolls the territory along the straits.
The Magellan route, commonly followed
by American naval vessels, saves about
1.op miles in the passage around South
America, and this is not only large item
in time of peace, but ii is said to be a mat
ter of vital Importance in time of war. AS
merchant vessels also use this route almost
exclusively. there is a great saving Tor
them on each trip between the Atlantic and
Pacific sides. Naval officials compare the
situation to that in the North sea and CON
tiguouS waters, where there are wide
stretches of water open to the ships of the
world which no one nation has ever un-
dertaken to fortify or to treat as a closed
sea. The Magellan route is very wide IN
most places. so that the ownership of the
shore could not be construed as giving &u-
thority beyond three miles at the most and
this is far short of the width of the water

chairman of the committee on legislation
concerning charities read a committee re-
port on The Special Field of National
legislation" in which the suggestion was
made that a bureau be established in this
city to collect and disseminate information
concerning charities and correction.
The general welfare clause of the consti-
tuition should cover such effort on the part
of the general government, but at any rate
Congress had established the Department
of Agriculture and the bureaus Of labor
and education, and the proposed bureau of
charities and correction was desired for the
same class of work applied by the other
bureaus to other lines of inquiry. He did
not propose that Congress should dispense
any general charity. but to contine its ef-
forts to the collection and spread of relia-
bic data which would be an invaluable as
sistance to people engaged in such work
all over the country. There should be a
central office for the identification of crimi-
nails by the Bertillion method.
The best authorities today acknowledge
he said. that there are no trustworthy sta
tistics of crime in this country. The fig
ures Of the federal census at the end of d
census period are not satisfactory to work
ers in this line of thought. He did not at
tempt to outline an exact plan for the for
nation of such a bureau. because that
would make desirable very thorough con-
sideration of the subject.

DIR. Frederick H. Wines made additional
suggestions in regard to the report of the
committee. He approved the plan for secur-
ing information in some central office in
this city, but thought it could be best and
most easily done through means of a di-
vision of the census Office if the census
work is to be made permanent.

spend some money on gathering such static

The Controllers Decision in Il Claim
for Damages.


There is one thing about your Uncle Sam
uel that a great many citizens find out TO
their disgust from time to time. He will
never pay a bill that he can get out of
through technical loophole. Equity does
not go with him; you've got to have the
documents on him. in black and white, and
be careful that they are accurate. TOO.
Here's a little case i'll the Treasury De-
partment today, showing how thrifty Uncle
Sam can be on occasion. Mr.. Hagerty Of
San Francisco presented claim for $}2.lh
for injuries to his buggy incurred while
rendering aid to one of Uncle Sans serv-
ants. The keeper of the Golden Gate life
saving station, while attempting to force
the lfehoat through the breakers. was in
jured and rendered unconscious Mr..
Hagerty was driving along the beach in
light road buggy and directed the injured
man to be placed in it. He drove rapidly to
the station. so that the man could receive
medical aid. The roads being bad and the
load heavier than the vehicle was intended
to carry. the axIes were bent and the
springs broken. Mr.. Hagerty thought the
government might pay the bill.
But your Uncle Samuel saw a loOphole.
There had been no contract and he would
not pay. Hear what the controllers de-
ciSion says:
Moreover. it does not appear that any
contract for such transportation was made;
that any agent of the government was
authorized to make such contract. The
government is under no legal obligation to
provide for the care Of disabled keepers OF
hfe-saving stations otherwise than is pro-
vided by section of the act of May 4. 1882
3 Under this state of facts and law
the transportation Of the keeper by the
claimant must be regarded voluntary
act of humanity and no legal liability for
the damage to his vehicle was imposed
upon the United States.'

Controller Tracewell of the Treasury De-

auditor for the War Department in the
case OF George {. Shaw. lieutenant, 1st
District Of Columbia Volunteers, in the
Spanish war.
The claim is for $500 extra pay. which
the controller allows, The question was
raised by the auditor that no pay was due
because Lieutenant Shaw had been placed
on waiting orders, and that there was nc
record of his having been on duty during
the furlough period. The controller finds
that Lieutenant Shaw was on duty with a
board of officers to compare mastering
rolls and is. therefore, entitled to the
compensation.
