CONSTRUCTOR POOK'S DEATH.
Funeral Services to Be Held TOmOr-
row Morning.

Capt Samuel II. Pook, one of the. best
known of the older naval constructors of
the United States navy, died suddenly Sat
urday evening at his home, 1913 10Th street
northwest. He had been for nearly twelve
years subject to paralysis of the throat,
and while at dinner was seized with an
attack. which ruptured a blood vessel and
brought on apoplexy, which caused his
death in about fifteen minutes. DIR. Stone
and DR.. Dixon, both of the navy, were
called and arrived just before he expired.
Naval Constructor Pook was the son of
Capt. Samuel NJ. Pook, who was appointed
naval constructor in the navy in 1887. He
was born at Brooklyn January II, 1927.
In the palmy days of shipbuilding, during
the ffties he acquired reputation one
OF the most skillful designers of fast clip
per ships in the California trade, among
his productions being the celebrated ships
Red Jacket and Northern Light. At the
beginning of the civil war he offered his
services to the Navy Department and SD
pervised the preparation of the plans for
what were known as the ninety-day gun
boats In connection with this work he
first suggested the duplication of the plans
Dy Photographic process, thus saving the
time necessary to make hundreds of trac-
inSs. Later he went to Mystic, Conn, and
superintended the construction of the Ga
lena, one of the three first ironclad ships
of our navy. He then became associated
with Mr.. C. S. Bushnell, who was mainly
instrumental in promoting the construction
of the Monitor, and they carried on an
active ship building business in Fair Haven
Conn, from 1862 to 1866. In April 1866 he
was appointed assistant naval con-
| structor in the navy, and served in this ca
pacity in the Boston and Portsmouth navy
| yards until April, 1871. when he was pro-
NOTED to be naval constructor at the Mare
Island navy yard. Remaining there for
/ two years he was attached to the Boston
yard for about year, going from there
| to New York, where he remained until 1877
He returned to Boston, remaining till 1881.
| He was at the Washington yard from 1881
| till 1854. and after about year at the
| League Island yard went back to the New
| York yard, his last service, in 1885. He
| then began the construction of the I'LL
| fated Maine, and was retired on reaching
! the age of sixty-two years in January,
| 1889
| Since that time he resided in Washington
| He leaves "a widow and two daughters and
one son, Geo. =. rockingham who is con-
nected with the bureau of construction in
| the Navy Department.
| The funeral services will be held at his
| late residence tomorrow at IL am, and
the interment will be at Arlington The
| honorary pallbearers will be Rear Admiral

miral Philip Hichborn ex-chief construc-

HE WILL NOT BUY BONDS
SECRETARY GAGE DISCUSSES THE
INCREASING SURPLUS.
Believes That the Reduction in Taxa
tiOn Will Cure the Tendency
to Accumulation.

Secretary Gage, in discussing the ques-
ton of what to do with the cash accumula-
ton in the treasury, said:
There are only two methods open to get
surplus funds out of the treasury vaults
One is to increase treasury deposits In ma
tional bank depositarieS; the other is to
buy United States bonds. The latter is
more consistent with government interests
than the former, since in buying bonds inter-
est on the public debt is byso much stopped
The department, however. would not feel
justified in buying bonds other than those
which will mature and become subject to
payment within the next seven years. AT
a proper price it would no doubt be willing
to buy these and thus relieve the treasury
from a surplus which might, under some
conditions, be prejudicial to general busi-
ness affairs At the present quoted rates
for the short bonds, l do not think the
Secretary would be justified in buying
bonds. The SIS at the price yield an invest
ment return of only .03 per cent; the short
As, 1.61 per cent: the B per cents of 1908,
1.a4 per cent, while the new per cents at
their present price yield a higher invest
ment return, viz, LIB per cent. Now, it
is well-known and acknowledged fact
that longtime government bond, every
thing else being equal, is worth relatively
more than a short-time bond. The present
disparity to the contrary is, therefore il
=
price the Secretary viii not.buy them"
''As e.n~alternative, would you not in
| crease sre deposit of public moneys with
the baukss'
No., the Secretary replied, that would
aggrayare in some particulars the situation
| to " trrtf "tghaye just referred. To qualify
| as deEgJysttGftes, the banks will have to buy
and deposit bonds The effect will be t.
| set up competition, by the aid of the
| government, against the government in the
| purchase of the securities, already abnor-
mally high. We are now advancing to-
| ward the period Of the year when there is
| apt to be a money plethora instead of a
| money scarcity, so DO not see that it will
| do any particular harm if money accumu-
lates in the treasury. The reduction in
| taxation will, when it becomes operative
| partially or wholly cure the present ten.
| dency toward a congestion in the treasury
| ITO put the matter In nutshell: If it be
| choice between buying bonds at an ar
| tificial price and letting funds accumulate
| in the treasury, the latter will occur, mol
| will the department advertise for offerings
| of bonds. To do so 1 am satisfied would
| be fruitless in results. If, however, the de-
| partment can from time to time buy the
| short bonds at an investment rate, realiz
| able to the investor who buys the new
| per cents, it will not hesitate to do so
| should the present market price for tn,
| new twos remain about on the present
| bass.'

plus for the year will be $50 900 O00
