CHIEF ENGINEER MORLEY DEAD.
Was Inspector Of Machinery Of the
Ill-Eated Ship Maine.

Chief Engineer A. w. Morley, U. s. N,
retired, died yesterday at his home, No. 66S
Greene avenue, Brooklyn. He was one of
the best known and most capable officers Of
the old engineer corps of the navy
Chief Engineer Morley was born in Hart
ford. Conn.,. and entered the navy at the
outbreak Of the civil war. He participated
in the blockade and the engagements Of the
west gulf and South Atlantic squadrons,
and by the close of the war had attained
the grade of first assistant engineer
Later he served on the Pacific and the
North Atlantic stations and, at various
periods between sea duty. at the navy yard,
New York. He was promoted chief engi-
neer in 1882 and was assigned to special
duty with the naval advisory board. upon
whose recommendations the reorganization
OF the navy was begun.
In 1859 he was specially selected as in
spector of machinery for the battle ship
Maine, then under construction at the New
York yard and was detailed as chief engi-
neer when that historic ship was first COM
missioned. =

ANOTHER INsULAR CASE.
Trial in Philippines Under Spanish
Law to Be Considered.

In the United States Supreme Court there
was docketed yesterday a case which is
calculated to bring out a decision as to
whether case tried in the Philippine
Islands under the old Spanish laws since
the congressional enactment of law for
the civil government Of the islands was
legally tried.
The case Is that of Thomas e. Kepner
who was tried upon the charge Of seques-
trating money as an attorney and found
by the court of first Instance to be not
guilty. After this decision was reached
the government appealed the case to the
supreme court of the islands, by which
Kepner was found guilty. He brings the
case to the Supreme Court on the ground
that under the Constitution of the United
States he could not be twice put in jeop-
ardy for the same offense.
The Spanish law allows an appeal by the
government in case of failure to convict
considering that a case has not been con-
cluded until all resources have been ex-
hausted by the prosecution. Kepner made
an effort last year to obtain action by the
United States Supreme Court in advance
of the consideration of the case by the
Philippine supreme court. but the court
refused to entertain his petition. The case
now comes here on a writ of error.
kepner is an American citizen and was
engaged as attorney in Manila when
the circumstances out Of which his prose-
cution grew arose.

Not One Of Miss Barton's Supporters.

To the Editor Of The Evening Starr
In the so-called Bulletin No. l." quoted
in the article entitled Miss Barton is
Firm" in The Star Of March g. the fol-
lowing statement Is made:
''It Is the fact that Miss Boardman
caused her name to be appended to the
new act of incorporation in 1900. before
she was elected to membership in the Red
Cross organization. This was done to
the exclusion of many OF the original
members including Mrs George KEENAN,,
Mrs. Walter P. Phillips. DR.. Lucy Hall
Brown. Mrs. Henry v. Boynton, Mrs. P. ".
De Graw, Gen. E. w. Whitaker and Mr.. A.
o. Bunnell-ali of them among Miss Bar
tons stanchest friends and adherents."
From the report of the reorganization of
the Red Cross which was contributed by
Mr.. Stephen E. Barton to the Home Jour
nal IN. " Of July 49, 1890 1t appears that
my name was dropped from the list Of in
corporators at that time. although 1t does
not appear from such report that Miss Bar
ton had anything whatever to do with my
exclusion. For a period of two years
prior to that time I had not been notified
Of Red Cross meetings nor furnished with
reports of Red Cross proceedings. Most
of the persons who were dropped from the
original list OF incorporators. as stated In
Phillips. DR.. Lucy Hall Brown, Mrs. H. "
Boynton and Mrs. p. V. De Graw. were at
once elected associate members of the or
ganizatton. while my name was dropped
not only from the list Of incorporators, but
from the list of ordinary members. mas
much as 1 was excluded from the Red
Cross without my knowledge and at a
meeting Of which had no notice, it Is my
present intention to stay out of the or
ganization. I have taken no part in recent
Red Cross dissensions: my name was used
in the above paragraph without my knowl-
edge or consent, and cannot properly be
designated as one of Miss Bartons
"stanchest friends and adherents."

presented last evening at st. Marks Epfs-

in the case of one solo tenor. This result

SUPPLIES FOR INDIAN SERVICE.
Commissioner Jones Arranging for the
Opening of Bids,

Commissioner OF Indian Affairs Jones has
arranged for the opening Of bids and let
ting Of contracts for the vast amount OF
supplies needed for the Indian service dur
ing the next fiscal year. The opening at
Chicago has been fixed to begin April 81
and at New York May %. Commissioner
Jones. Chief Slater of the finance division
of the Indian bureau and a force Of en-
ployes from here will go to both of those
points to supervise and do the work. There
are five Indian warehouses In all. the
others being at Omaha, st. Louis and San
Francisco.
The New York warehouses handle almost
nothing but clothing. hats. caps and small
dry goods. Chicago ships groceries. boots
and shoes, larger proportion of dry goods
small clothing, hardware, wooden ware,
harness and harness hardware. wagon ma
tertal. agricultural implements, paints and
oils, tinware, stoves, school and medical
supplies, packing house products and sub
sistence. st. Louis ships vinegar. some
medical supplies, hardware and some wag-
ons. Omaha handles packing house prod
ucts, subsistence, small quantity of
paints and oils and hardware. San Fran
cisco's business comprises hardware wood
en- ware. agricultural Implements, paints
and oils, tinware. stoves, groceries and sub
sistence intended for the Pacific coast.
Commissioner Jones said today that less
rent is paid for the Chicago warehouse this
year than last year, but that this Is over
balanced by reason of the carriage ex-
penses. Prior to this year the warehouse
was so located that freight cars could be
run into the building. The quantity of
goods purchased in New York has steadily
declined for number OF years.
