In pursuance of this conspiracy it is
alleged Tyner and Barrett refused TO
consider or approve new contracts
submitted prior to the time Barrett
retired, except for the one or two con-
Germs that had already retained his
services.
The indictments" says the state
ment, cite specific cases in which
Barrett, while still in office, sought or
agreed to receive fees, or in which,
alter Barrett retired, Tyner referred
CLIENTS to him and approved new con-
tracts at his suggestion without ever
reading them over"
1.-The principal charge against Tyner
and Barrett is that of misconduct in
office, in obstructing and preventing
the decent and orderly administration
of the law. Ii is stated there were no
less than so of the so-called bond in
vestment companies to which the opin-
ion of the department was sent, to-
gether with a circular intimating that
Barrett's services as attorney could be
secured.

conspiracy in connection with furnish
ing money order blanks, in connection

that of accepting a bride in connec-
ton with the delivery barges worn by

WOULD STIR UP NAVY.
Rear-Admiral Taylor Urges A
Number of Radical
Departures.

The annual report Of Rear Admiral
II. Q. Taylor, Chief of the Bureau of
Navigation, has just been made pub
lie. In it he strongly urges the crea-
tion Of q general staff for the navy.
1.-The function of the general staff
would be, Admiral Taylor says, Ito
indicate TO the bureaus the personal
and material needs of the fleet; TO
Inducements of men and the supplies
of coal, ammunition, provisions and
stores of every kind required and
where and when they should be deliv-
cred. The functions of the several
bureaus should be to furnish the men,
coal, ammunition, provisions, supplies
and stores indicated by the general
naval staff.
Another important function of the
general staff would be TO judge of the
need for new naval stations, dockyards
and coal depots, and TO recommend
their location and defense, as well as
the numbers and types of ships neces-
sary to carry out the plans of war and
perform the service of the feet in
peace. He recommends the appoint
ment of two vice -admirals, one for
the Asiatic squadron and one for the
North Atlantic station, a material in
crease in the number of officers and
the addition of q number of ships
to the navy.
Admiral Taylor calls attention to the
irregular character of the training
squadron and urges in. the interest of
true economy the building of training
vessels which would be useful in war.
He concurs in the recommendations of
Admiral Evans that the principal ma
val station in the Philippines be es-
! tablished at Olongapo, Subig bay. The
report says the Asiatic Station needs
six cruisers of an improved Olympia
| type and four cruisers of the scout
cruiser type, of which latter two can
| now be provided.
Admiral Taylor treats at great
Length the subject of deserting, show
| ing that for the year 1908 the percent
age was 1905. Among the various
reasons assigned by officers, as well as
the men themselves, he says, are dis
content with the food, discomforts as
TO sleeping accommodations, confine-
ment on board ship without frequent
| liberty to visit shore, harshness in
/ language and bearing on the part of
officers toward the crew, the disap-
pointment of the recruits, who believ-
ed that sea service was a pleasant and
easy thing, and the restless spirit ex-
listing among some of the men.
Admiral Taylor suggests that an
officer of fifty years who has not at
tanned the rank of captain retire, and
that a captain who at fifty-five years
has not reached the grade of rear-ad-
miral retire. After urging an addi-
tion to the service of thirty lieuten-
ant commanders and fifty lieutenants,
Admiral Taylor says that at present
lieutenants are doing the duty which
should be done by lieutenant-c comman-
ders. Fifty additional warrant machin-
lists are urged in order to give this
class OF officers their share of shore
duty.

IS |T IDLE TALK
Petition to Down Managers.

1t cannot be possible that there is any
truth in the idle talk that is floating about
town today relative to the four members
OF the vedical staff of the Emergency
Hospital, who are fighting the Board Of
Managers, and who are said to be cir
culating petition for signers to vote the
return Of the former Superintendent.
The petition, it is said, has been freely
circulated at the Court House, State
House and among the Labor Unions and
fraternal orders Of the city. One gentle
man, prominent, officially and politi
cally, is said to have put up $40 for the
defeat of the Board of Managers and
the return Of the former Superintendent
whose management was unsatisfactory
10 the Board. Such drastic measure on
the part of professional people is dis
grace to any city, and should be put
down by the public and people who
have the best interests Of the hospital at
heart
The entire Medical Staff is not con-
testing the right OF the Board Of Mana
gers to discharge a Superintendent, but
only four doctors out Of ten who COM
pose the city staff are opposed to the
Board and desire the return OF Miss
Pusey. The citizens of Annapolis owe
their support to the noble women who
created the hospital and who have borne
the burden Of litigation and opposition
during the last six months while endeav-
oring to maintain the institution under
proper management

The Governor Talks Politics.

While in Baltimore Yesterday Cover
nor Smith saw a number of Democrats
with whom he talked politics The
friends of the Governor from Anne Arun-
del county attempted yesterday to throw
cold water upon the meeting in Annapo-
lis on Tuesday in the interest of Mr..
Rayner. 1t is generally conceded that
the delegation from the county is split on
the senatorial question and that there is
no telling where some OF them may land
Mr.. Rayner's supporters contend that
the meeting in Annapolis shows con
clusively that he has the strongest kind
Of backing in Anne Arundel county
among politicians, as well as among the
people here. They point out that the
meeting was simply preliminary one.
and that another viii be held at which
Mr.. Rayner himself will be present.

people as to condition IA the county.
