said to Have Cast Discredit ON the
ORGANIZATION by Remarks Over

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. IA session
of the Society of Milwaukee Artists last
night expelled Miss Jessie Schley from
membership. The meeting was held in
the studio of Frank Enders, and twelve
of the eighteen members were present A
signed statement was given out by presi-
dent Alexander Mueller
Declares 1t Illegal.
Miss Schley sent a letter advising the
meeting not to take action toward ex-
pulsion. When she was told what had
been done she was not surprised. but said
that the action was illegal, and she could
set it aside if she desired. She thought it
would be deathblow to the society.
The presidents statement called at
tention to the fact that Miss Schley had
published her version of the trouble. and,
therefore, the facts regarding the refusal
of the jury on pictures to accept two OF
Miss Schley's pictures offered for the
Chicago exhibition were given. The state
ment set forth that the jury had been
properly elected. and that it consisted OF
seven members. regularly chosen, and two
more serving by general consent, and that
Miss Schley's pictures only got one favor

RETIRING BOARD
THE SUPREME POWER
President Can Only Disap-
prove Decision.
Hobson Must Remain on Active List
Until He Is Found Incapaci-
trtcd for Duty.

The special Z message of President
Roosevelt TO Congress. recommending the
retirement of Naval Constructor Rich
mond Pearson Hobson, the hero of the
Merrimac, was based on an application
from Mr.. Hobson, endorsed by the Secre-
tary of the Navy and the Chief Naval
Constructor.
An attempt is being made to prove
that the Navy Department opposed the
retirement. The official record shows
that on his own application Mr.. Hobson
was ordered before retiring board for
examination. and that the board reported
that he was not physically incapacitated
for duty, and recommended that he be re-
tanned on the active list.
Cannot Retire Officer.
Neither the President of the United
States nor the Secretary of the Navy has
the power to go contrary to the report of
a retiring board. He may disapprove the
boards findings and order a re-eXamina-
ton of the applicant, but he cannot retire
an officer if the board finds him capable
of performing active duty, or retain him
on the active list if the board finds him
ipcapacitated.
When the board reported that Mr.. Hob
son was not incapacitated the President
and Secretary Long were powerless to
grant Mr. Hobson's wish Mr.. Hobson
then wrote to President Roosevelt that
while he could perform duty, and in
sense was fit for duty, the work required
of him was OF such a character, and the
examination of blueprints and the glare
OF water so trying on his eyes that he
deemed it advisable to ask the President
to recommend the passage of an act of
Congress for his retirement. This let
ter, as endorsed by Secretary Long, is as
follows:
MIR. Long Approves.
Il have read the enclosed application
of Naval Constructor Hobson. and in
view of the statement made by him and
the approval of his application by Chief
Constructor Bowles. l approve his appli-
cation to be retired
The record entirely disproves the
charge that Hobson's retirement was OPP
posed by Secretary Long and Rear Ad-
miral Crowninshield.

The Golden Eagles Bowling Club visited
the alleys Of the Jolly Fat Mems Club

Fifteen of the best milers in this To-

Alexander Grant, of the University of
Pennsylvania. 1t was stated in the papers
the other day that Grant would not start
in the Georgetown games, but this was
mistake. Grant has promised Mr.
Thompson that he would be here, and
only yesterday told him he was in fine
condition. and expected to put up as good

Grant will have very able opponents
in W A Newell of Williams College, and

men have run the distance in minutes

able TO do it here, as the track is

Great Runner Entered for
Georgetown's Indoor Meet.
Everything In Readiness for Satur-
day-Re!.y *. N Feature
Fast Company for Duffey.

Everything is now in readiness for the
big indoor meet to be given Saturday
night under the auspices of the George
town University Athletic Association and
the Washington public will have the best
opportunity ever presented it to witness
high class and well contested events.
Three hundred entries is the total num-
Der of men who will participate in the
twenty three numbers on the programme.
Among this large number are the best
athletes in the United States. There are
distance men, sprinters, jumpers, etc.
from many of the large Eastern and
Western universities who have made
records not only in the United States. but
in various parts OF the world. Probably
the most celebrated of these is Arthur
Duffey the Georgetown runner.
Duney's Great Record.
Duffey has been at Georgetown foi three
years and has participated in over
hundred differen: races and has OILY been
defeated twice in scratch events. This is
the greatest record in the history Of
athletics. He has won the intercollegiate
United States and the championship OF
Europe. He is the only American who
has ever won the English championship
for the 100 yard dash. and he has ac-
complished this remarkable feat twice in
succession. He has equaled the record
for the forty-yard dash of four and three
fffths seconds Indoors; the sixty-yard
dash in six and two-ffth seconds is an
other record which he has equaled on
several different occasions, while in the
hundred he has done nine and four-ffths
seconds probably oftener than any man
who ever had on running shoe.
Among the stars who will meet Duffey
IN the 50-yard collegiate race are, j. L.
Westney. of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, who is said to be running the 100
yards in ten seconds. and five sprinters
from Notre Dame University. Indiana,
with the chances in favor of NJ. B. Her
bert.
In the handicap there are fifty men en-
tered and the winner will most likely be
one OF those who receives liberal handi-
cap. These two events will be the fea-
lures of the first part of the programme
and will eclipse any sprint ever seen in
this section of the country.
