THE CASE OF A BEE
Secretary of War Contends That His
Action Is Not Subject to Re-

Philippine policy of the administra-

Secretary Roots answer says one Of
these published letters was referred

that Miss Taylor admitted its author

or retractiOn, and that her answer, in
the opinion of the secretary Of war,

the order and efficiency of the service
and Secretary Root therefore caused
her removal. Secretary Root says his
action was not taken because Of Miss
Taylor's political or religious affiIia-

partment in the case were done in
conformity with the civil service regu-
lations.

Acting Mayor of Minneapolis.

lights by different people. Many are ex-
ulting over the fact thai Mr.. Waite re-
ceived the appointment, while there are
others deploring the fact of a deacon in
the Congregational church becoming the
head of the police department.
Fear of church power dominating the
city rule causes many to think that Min
neapolis will now take a backward step
the steady advancement which she has
enjoyed for a number of years, which they
claim will take long time to overcome.
Others are just as firmly impressed with
the belief that a complete change in poll
cy is necessary in order to overcome the
unsatisfactory advertising which the city
has recently received at the hands of
those who have been in control.
Needed Strong Man.
Acting Mayor Jones, in giving his rea-
sons for the selection of Mr.. Waite as
superintendent of police, says: $50 long
as I am responsible for the actions ar.
direction of the police department of the
city, wish to place a man at the head of
the organization in whom I could repose
the utmost confidence. A strong man
was needed, who looked at things largely
from my standpoint, and who will reflect
my views and cooperate with me in
bringing about many needed reforms.
Il assume the full responsibility of the
superintendent Of police, and he will act
in full conformity with my directions. If
1 did not know that Mr.. Waite would car
ry out my views I certainly would not
have appointed him to the office.
''Those who have confidence in my judg-
ment and ability in the present emergen-
cy should have confidence in my ap-
pointee. 1 desire to re-establish the good
name of Minneapolis, both at home and
abroad, and 1 covet the cooperation of
the citizens in doing only that which is for
the best interest of the city,
10 Appointed on His Record.
Mr.. Waite was appointed largely
through what was believed to be his eff
cheney in handling the department, owing
to his long connection with members of
the force as prosecuting attorney in the
municipal court, where he has had an
excellent. opportunity to judge of the class
of people with whom the police force has
to deal.
1t is expected that there will be a num-
Der of changes in the present personnel
of the force. 1t is claimed that there will
be no wholesale decapitation of officers,
but most of them will be given an oppor-
tunity to prove that they are good and
efficient servants of the people, and in the
event of their not being able to make
good others will be given a trial.

family robes once worn by the Queen
of Bohemia, who married q former
Earl Craven.
Another incident relating to royalty
was the presence of the Duchess of
Mecklenburg- Strelitz, who, at the ex-
press desire of Queen Alexandra, sat at
exactly the same spot as she occupied
at the coronation of Queen Victoria.
No stage effect could have equaled
the climax that ensued the moment
the crown was placed upon King Ed
wards head, the sudden Illumination
by hundreds of electric lights making
the thousands of priceless jewels, in
Guiding those in the crown itself, to
sparkle with dazzling brilliancy.
The instantaneous movement of the
peers, the placing of their coronets
upon their heads, the choir's loud God
Save the King" with it's inharmonious
yet genuine refrain from thousands of
male and female throats, constituted
such an outburst of pent-up tht\kful-
ness and rejoicing as even Westminster
abbey, with all its historic traditions,
never before witnessed.

Nearly 100 Americans must have
witnessed the ceremony in the abbey.
Among them were Mrs. -Cushman X.
Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Willard accom-

dington, who was Queen Alexandra'S
specially invited guest; Mrs. Baylies,
Mrs. Hartman, Mrs. Post, Mrs. Dudley
Leigh, Miss Astor, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles T. Yerkes, Lady Barrymore
and Lady Michael Herbert.
The only peers who paid homage to
the king on the part of various grades
of nobility were the Duke of Norfolk,
the Earl of Shrewsbury, who was
prominent in connection with interna-
tional polo; the Marquis of Winchester
and Lord de Ros.
Until very late hour dense crowds
paraded the main streets of London,
through which vehicular traffic was
forbidden, and watched the illumina-
lions. The royal residences, the clubs,
the Canadian arch, the Mansion house
and the Bank of England, the electric
and gas displays of WlZch were par
ticularly noticeable, were all surround
ed by thousands of persons who for
the most part were orderly.
The United States battleship I'LL

enthusiastic demonstrations were

soDINI ASKS FOR RELEASE.
Thinks His Liability on Norbeck Reward
Should Cease,

Judge Brooks has taken under advise
ment the matter of releasing Brando So
dln1 from the reward money that was
offered for the capture of Christopher c.
Norbeck, when he became fugitive from
justice.
The representations were that since the
amount of the reward had been turned
over to the sheriff, and later to the coun-
ty clerk, his liability should cease. Judge
leland. who appeared for the principal
claimant, was willing, but there were
other matters to consider There were
other claimants, and while they were not

It appears that when Norbeck made his
attempt to escape Sodini and Hill each
offered $3.50 for his return personally. and
later through u hi the sheriff they Offered the
this that they would be holden for 81 500.
when in fact they only intended to offer
$1,000 for his capture.
1t has been quite an expensive affair
for the bondsmen, as they have been
obliged to pay the $1,000 bond that was
declared forfeited, as well as the 81, 600
reward.
