MACARTHUR IN CHARGE
AT GOVERNORS ISLAND
Succeeded General Brooke at Head Of
Department of the East Today.

. NEW YORK, July 2f.LMajor General
Macarthur took command of the Depart
ment of the East today at noon. without
formal ceremony. General Macarthur
reached New York yesterday. accompa-
MED by his wife, and went to the Fifth
Avenue Hotel.
General Macarthur said that prepara-
tions are already well under way for the
coming combined naval and army ma
neuvers, but he would not discuss them.
You see.' he laughed, this is to be
as near real war as we can get, and We
can't give up our plans to the enemy
through the press. The newspapers are
useful in war. but they are also a men,
ace in proportion. They are double
headed. AS far back as the first Of the
nineteenth century Napoleon learned the
movements of his own troops in Spain
through the English papers. Well soon
give you a chance to do some guessing.

spondents.'
When told that General Brooke had
spoken in warm praise Of the United
States Army, General Macarthur said:
He may well do it, now he is retiring,
but my valedictory time is not yet come.
However, l will say that no body OF
troops has ever been, en- the whole, more
self-restrained and held in check than
our army in the Philippines.
ITO Judge the army there by the indi-
vidual cases which get into print so
prominently is Just as unfair as it would
be TO Judge New York civilization from
the cases which come up any day in the
police court. 1t is the abnormal that at
tracts attention"
General Macarthur says he expects to
return to Chicago after the coming op-
eraticns are over.
General Brooke was asked this morn
ing regarding the report that some Of
his friends would seek his nomination
for the governorship CT Pennsylvania.
He replied: NO politics for Brooke"

Mr. Root Smiles.
The news of Miss Taylor's suit was
first given to Secretary Root by a
representative of The Times. Mr.. Root
smiled broadly and did not appear
in the slightest degree perturbed. He
seemed rather amused at the affair.
When asked If he had anything to say
in regard to the matter he replied:

War Department, who signed the order
dismissing Miss Taylor, also took the
matter lightly when told OF her action.
ments on the case.
Miss Taylor IS a sister-in-law to
Representative McCleary Of Minnesota.
The story OF the trouble between Miss
Taylor and the War Department has
been heretofore told in detail, and in
brief Is: She was called upon by Secre-
tary Root. on May q last, TO know II
she was the author OF publication in a
local paper, under the heading. THE
Flag Shall Stay Put" She was also in
formed that in the event that she was
the author that she make an explanation
in writing concerning it within three
days. This she declined to do.
She admitted that she was the author
of THE Flag Shall Stay Put story, and
claimed that she was responsible to no
one for It. She further said that II the
proper authorities would give her suf-
ficient notice" and reasons In writing
why she should be dismissed from the
service. she would be pleased to consider
the matter. She, however. stated that
ii is rather unusual for an individual to
plead either innocent or guilty or TO
offer defense when no charge has been
preferred.
On June Miss Taylor was dismissed
Two days later she sent letter to the
Secretary of War. protesting against

COL. M'KAY'S Will

The question as to whether the will of
the late Col. Nat Mckay has been fled
in Oklahoma, or whether it will be filed
In Washington and If so, wher. is cne OF
the leading topics of discussion in legal
circles Their, is a wide diversity of opin-
ion concerning the matter. There were
many who predicted that the document
would be filed last week either in the
office OF the Register of Wills for the
District or In the probate court in Ok

existing circumstances, and considering
the probability of the lively fight by the
heirs, those who control, the matter
will take the time limit. three months.

Document Must Be Filed.
There are some who have argued that
the document will never be filed. This
assertion is made on the ground that
the differences among the claimants for
Colonel McKay's estate will be COM
promised and all litigation thus avoid
ed This suggestion will. however. not
be followed out because OF that fact
that the code fixes penalty against
persons who fail to file last testaments.
With few exceptions there is general
conviction that there will lie contest
over the estate. Exactly what the estate
is worth. Of what it consists and how 1t
is held at present are questions which
no one seems able to answer. at least
among those who express a Willingness
to discuss the matter.

it is said, Colonel Mckay divided among
his two daughters and his widow, Mrs.
Mabel Geyer Mckay. In what proper
tion the division is TO be made is not
stated. Another version OF the story
the will is that Colonel Nc
Kay made liberal provision for his third
wife, Mrs. Jennie Pope Mckay. from
whom he was divorced about year and
a half ago.
1t is also stated that Mrs. Jennie Pope
Mckay will, ii she is not well provided
for, contest the will and claim third
of the estate of Colonel Mckay, as his
widow. This claim will be made on the
ground that the divorce granted him in
Oklahoma is not legal because he was
not resident of the Territory when he
began proceedings against her for
separation.
II for no other reason than because of
the array of prominent counsel who are
named in connection with the case one
might easily judge that il there Is

Change ReConmeno
by Rear Admiral
H. C. Taylor.
LIMITED TO FIVE YEA
Thinks Honor Men Should Be Appointed
Line Officers Instead of Being Conn
missioned Assistant Naval Corstruc-
tors-0ff;cers for Marines.

Rear Admiral H. C. Taylor, chief Of
the Bureau of Navigation. has recon-
meEded to the Secretary of the Navy
that midshipmen at the Naval Academy,
after completing their academic course,
shall be given preference in appoint
ments to the Pay Corps and the Marine
Corps. He says. however, in a report to
Secretary Moody, that in view of the
demand fer the services of nearly all
the ninety-nine additional midshipmen
for line outlet the yearly appointments
to the Marine Corps. the Pay Corps and
the Construction Corps shall be limited
to five.
1t has been the practice to select for
the Construction Corps each year the
three midshiP-aea oi highest standing in
their classes, but Admiral Taylor sug-
gests that hereafter only two midship-
men shall be commissioned as assistant
constructors in any one year.
An Entire Innovation.
Since the war with Spain no appoint-
ments to the Marine Corps have been
made from the Naval Academy, and It
will be an entire innovation to COM
mission midshipmen in the Pay Corps
Admiral Taylor recommends that in
the first year when appointn; ents from
the Naval Academy to other branches
Of the service than the line will be
possible, the appointments to the Con-
struction Corps from the Academy be
limited to two, to the Pay Corps to two,
and the MariE7 Corps 20 one; in the Sec
ond year one to the Pay Corps and two
to each Of the other corps; in the third
year. one to the Construction and two
to the other corps, and so on annually.
continuing in that order .--,-
Admiral Taylor, in his report, has
something to say in opposition TO the
practice of sending the midshiprnen of
the highest standing to the Construction
Corps. He thinks the practice should
be abandoned and that the honor men
at the Academy should go to the line.
Secretary Moody has referred the re-
port for comment to the Chief Naval
Constructor. the Paymaster General.
and the major general commandant OF
the Marine Corps.
