Mr.. MACLAY BALKS
BACK OUT AT PRESIDENTS
REQUEST
STANDS ON CIVIL SERVICE LAW
Says He Passed Il Regular Examina-
ton, and Will Demand II Trial
on Charges Regularly
Preferred.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-Edgar Stan
ton Maclay, whose connection with the
Schlev case led President Roosevelt to
request his resignation as special labor
er in the navy, made formal demand
today for trial by usual naval procedure
He averred that his case came under
the civil service law, and that he could
not be dismissed without formal charges,
trial and conviction. The request for
his resignation was sent to him by Rear
Admiral Barker, commander of the navy
yards at Brooklyn, and he replied at
once by letter, formally setting forth
his position.
Discussing the case, Maclay said: The
president cannot have me dismissed un-
der the law as l see it. l do not see
how he can force me out. l am pro-
tected by the civil service laws enacted
by the congress, whose enactments the
president is bound to execute. L do
not know positively, but I believe my
position, under civil service rules, fur
nishes me complete protection so long
as l violate no rules of the service, and
that ] have not done, and that I have
so stated in my letter to the command
ant in answer to the request for my
resignation.
mo, 1 did not say that the president
is as bad as the czar of Russia. /
have done nothing more than write the
commandant asking that charges be
preferred against me, and l Will do moth
ing more just now. l have not been
suspended, and am working here today,
as 1 have been doing for fifteen months.
l have tried to do my duty here, and
have broken no rules and shall simply
stand by my rights, more for the prin-
ciple of the matter than anything else,
for my position here pays me very little,
and is chiefly valuable because of the ex-
perience and information it affords me
as material for my books

SENATOR BARD INDIGNANT.
Thinks the President Fell Little
Short of Brutality.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-United States Sen
ator Thos. A. Bard Republican, of Cali
fornia. condemns the censure Of Gen.
Miles, and says congress will do the right
thing by Schley. He says:
For Mr. Roosevelt, as man, nave
high regard but l think it a most re-
grettable thing that the president Of the
United States should break out as he did
Saturday in fierce denunciation of the
lieutenant general of the army. His oral
1ebuke to Gen. Miles, i'll the presence OF
a number of members of both branches
of congress, was little short OF brutal, IN
as much as the general dared make no
response to his superior officer, the COM
mander-in- of the army and navy.
1.-THE written official censure of Gen
Miles. which came from the president and
was transmitted through Secretary OF
War Root, was equally unstatesmanlike
The president seems to have allowed his
temper to overmaster him Instead of
tending to settle the turbulence of the
hour Mr.. Roosevelts action has engen-
dered more bitterness and aligned the
contending factions still more strongly
against each other.
II think congress should and will rec
ognize Schleys services to the nation.
The resolution introduced by Mr. Nc
Comas, of Maryland, is, in my opinion,
worthy of being adopted That the his
tory of the country may be properly
written and that no doubt of who the real
victor Of Santiago was be left to the fu-
ture congress ought to record, for the
people, the country's appreciation of Ad-
miral Schley.'

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Sept. 23.-John
Birkholz, capitalist, investment banker,
and one of the shrewdest financiers in the
state, was made the victim of conf
dence game, and is out 1.400. Last week
Mr. Birkholz received a letter purportinG
to be written by .. G. Hanson, Of Rey-
nolds, a we'll known farmer, saying that
his neignbor, August Marquardt would
be in soon to make a loan on his farm,
and that Marquardt was all right, To-
day farmer entered Mr.. Birkholz's Of
fee, identified himself as Marquardt and
applied for a loan on his farm. The
records were inspected and found to be
all right, the mortgage was made out and
signed. and the man left the Office at
noon with q 81, 400 check, which he cash
ed at once.
Late in the afternoon something in the
transaction seemed peculiar to Mr..
Birkholz, and he began to investigate.
He drove to the Marquardt farm and
found the real Marquardt at home bliss
fully unconscious that stranger mad
signed a mortgage on his farm.
The police were at once notified by
phone, but the man had several hours
start, and has not been located yet. He
had been about Reynolds for some time,
and was well posted on affairs there and
discussed crops and neighborhood gos-
appearance of an innocent and unlettered
farmer, and this, with the receipt of the
forged Hanson letter, threw Mr.. Birk-
holz entirely off his guard. He is a mid
dle-aged, smooth-shayen man, of medium
heighth, and Wore green goggles, as he
said, to protect his eyes, but as is now
thought to conceal the color of them.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Dec. 23-''You will

before a year has passed, said DR.. E.
O. Young, who returned tonight from a
visit to his brother, Lieut.. Lucien Young,
who has recently been relieved as captain
of the Havana port, but not yet resigned.
DIR, Young says that the thinking
classes of Cubans desire annexation and
that if the question were submitted to a
vote it would carry. AS matters stand,
he predicts that the Cubans will prove
incapable of self-government and that
their unrestrained prejudices and the ig-
norance and discomfort of a certain class
will soon result in uprisings. He says
that number of officers to whom he
talked shared the view that annexation
was the hope of the island.

JUSTICE SCOTT DIssoLVEs INJUNC-
TIoN RESTRAINING NORTHERN
PACIFIC FROM ACTING
COMPANY HAS POSITIVE RIGHT
Plaintiffs Have No Concern With
Details of the Deal, Nor as to
How the Money Is Raised
to Carry 1t Through.
FLIMsY CLAIM TO INTERFERE

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Justice Scott,
in the supreme court today, dissolved the
Injunction obtained by Wolff Bros. and
others restraining the Northern Pacific
railway from retiring the preferred stock
of SIS, ,000, 600 on Jan. l.
Justice Scott says the company had
the positive right, at its option, to retire
the preferred stock at par and that
bits directors were authorized to exercise
that option on behalf of the corporation
He added: 1.-The plaintiffs have no con-
cern with what may be done with the
stock of the company after the preferred
shares have been retired, Or In conSe-
quence of such retirement, nor are they
in a position to question the manner in
which the company proposes TO raise
the money to retire their shares, so long
as they are assured of the par value
thereof Even if the defendants right
to retire the plaintiffs stock was less
clear than I deem it to be, l still heSl-
tate to permit the temporary injunction
to stand. The plaintiffs, though holding
preferred stock up to a considerable
amount, really hold but a small percent
age of this class of stock, and of course
a much smaller percentage of the tctal
capital stock of the company.
1.-The claim is that they are entitled to
an opportunity to subscribe for the con-
yertible certificates representing common
stock to be issued in place of the pre-
ferred stock. Upon what that claim is
based is not made very apparent, but
assuming that it is well founded, no
reason is suggested why they cannot be
fully and amply compensated in an ac-
ton for damages for the denial Of their
assumed right"

HUMOR
ROOSEVELT WENT TOO FAR
Gave Commanding General Tongue
Lashing in Presence of Others
at White House, Preceding
Roots Action.
SENATOR BARD IS oUTsPoKEN
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,

Washington, u. y.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-President
Roosevelt has probably not heard the
last of his censure of Gen. Miles through
Secretary Root. Although no army ofti-
Ger would talk publicly Of the matter to-
day, many were of the opinion that the
censure was too severe, and said so pr1-
yately. To have talked for publication
would probably have drawn down the
wrath of the president and secretary upon
thenr own heads.
This criticism of President Roosevelt
is heard not only in army circles, put
among prominent civilians as well. The
first expression that was heard was with
reference to the rebuke administered 10
the President himself by Secretary AL
ger when Roosevelt drew up and circu-
lated the round robin regarding the con-
ditfon of the troops in Cuba after the
Santiago campaign, and the publication
of his letter on the same subject. 1t
was pointed out that storm of indigna-
ton was raised when Col Roosevelt was
censured for criticising the administration
of affairs in Cuba, and also that the Ut
teranceS of Lieut.. Gen. Miles, in view
of his disclaimer that he intended to re-
fleet on the administration of co-ordl-
nate branch of the government, were not
half so severe as those of President
Roosevelt himself in his Santiago letter.
What made Gen. Miles many friends
more angry than the mere censure was
the report, not denied, that before he di-
rected Secretary Root to censure Miles,
President Roosevelt gave the commanding
general a verbal dressing down. When
Cen Miles was at the White house on
Saturday morning he talked with the
president in the presence of a room full
of people At all times the president
talks to his visitors in a tone of voice
that can be heard many feet away, and
every one in the room heard the tongue
Iashing that he gave Miles OF course,
nearly every one who heard it comment
ed on it afterwards, and this humiliation
of their friend is what has reused Gen.
Miles friends to such a pitch of indigna-
ton

While the audience that greeted Sir

particularly large one, it nevertheless
amply made up for it's lack of size in

DULUTH, Mimi. Dec. 23-Mayor Hugo

Crandall pleads business reasons as in

due to political pressure. His admins

DES MONIES, Iowa, Dec. 23.-Gov. Les
lie M. Shaw was today summoned to
Washington by President Roosevelt, who
has offered him the portfolio of secretary
of the treasury. 1t is the opinion of the
close friends of the governor that he will
accept.
The governor departed for the East this
evening. He eluded newspaper interview
ers, but just as the train was pulling out
he said:
II have seen the newspaper dispatches
which state that I have been selected by
President Roosevelt to succeed Secretary
Gage as secretary of the treasury in the
presidents cabinet. Manifestly, l cannot
discuss the subject at this time.
Referring to the possibility of the ap-
pointment coming to this state Gov. Shaw
earlier in the day said to some OF his
friends: 1.-The appointment of an Iowa
man would be magnificent thing for
Iowa, for her people and for the Re-
publican party of the state. That is a con-
sideration which far overtops the per-
sonal factor it seems to me.

This interview was given before the
governor was summoned to Washington
Gov. Shaw's fitness for the position is
well recognized here. He has had eX-
perience in banking and financial affairs,
and his study and grasp of the money
question created demand for his speech
es everywhere during the campaigns that
followed that of 1896. New York men are
said to be particularly we'll impressed by
his financial views He has spoken i'll at
least third Of the states from New York
to California. He has repeatedly ad.
dressed the sound money conferences in
the different states and the great COM
mercial and financial bodies of the East.
His private fortune is estimated at $780,

Texas, which made him rich when oil
was developed on his property.
