THE RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
Captain stronE's Request Granted ON
Orders From Secretary Root

orders From Secretary Root
The resignation of Capt. Putnam Brad
lee Strong, who figured in the scandal In
connection with Lady Frances Hope In
San Francisco last week, was accepted
yesterday afternoon by the War Depart
ment. This action was taken by Colonel
Sanger. Assistant Secretary of War. upon
receipt of a telegram from Secretary Root
directing him to do so.
After Secretary Root hal wired Captain
Strong that it would be necessary for
him to send In his resignation through
the regular channels the latter replied
that he had placed his written resignation
in the hands of General Young, the COM
manding officer of the Department of Cal
ifornia. and had set forth his reasons for
SO doing. General Young also informed
the department that Captain Strong had
resigned with the required formality and
this information was communicated to
Secretary Root. who had requested Cen
eral Young for Information as to Cap
tain Strong's conduct. Late yesterday al
ternoon he wired Mr.. Sanger to accept
the resignation and telegram stating
that this had been done was sent to Cen
eral Young and Captain Strong.
In army circles this action is commend
ed as the best way out of an unfortunate
episode. 1t is contended upon behalf of
Captain Strong that he had right to
resign at any time. and inasmuch as a
court-martial would attract unnecessary
attention to a scandal ii was deemed best
to allow him to resign and close the IN
cident without further controversy.
Captain Strong was TO have sailed to-
day for Manila on the transport Grant
Lady Hope has also Cancelled her ar
rangements to sail for Hongkong on the
