Dismissal of Three Good officials, In
c1udinG R. j. TraceweIl. Alleged to
Have Been Recommended.
NO ACTION BY THE PRESIDENT
SECRETARY SHAW STANDING By
CONTROLLER OF THE TREASURY.
Popular Indianian Who Was Fully
ExOnerated when Mr.. Bristow
Investigated TulIOch's Charges.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, oct. ia great deal OF
interest continues to be manifested in the
probable action of President Roosevelt on
the Bonaparte-Conrad report, relating TO the
Tulloch charges made in connection with the
postoffice investigation. There has been
considerable gossip here during the past
few days to the effect that differences have
arisen in the Cabinet over the findings of
Messrs. Bonaparte and Conrad. 1t is said
they recommended the dismissal of two or
three officials, among them Robert ]. Trace
well, of Indiana, controller of the Treas
ury. The Washington Post stated to-day
that President Roosevelt had said that
certain official should resign. 1t was init
mated that Mr. Tracewell was the official in
question. 1T was further stated that the
official said ne would not resign unless asked
to do so by the President.
The report that Messrs. Bonaparte and
Conrad recommended the dismissal of Mr..
Tracewell cannot be verified. although it is
generally accepted that he was criticised in
their report. Mr.. Tracewell has not said he
would or would not resign He has abso-
lutely refused to discuss the subject even
with his most intimate friends. That the
President expressed the opinion that Mr.
Tracewell or any other official should resign
Is not creulJeu. MT. hOOSeNellS pIeuoHlludl-
ing characteristic Is frankness, and IL he
had anything to say the subject of resig-
nation his remarks would undoubtedly be
direct in person TO the. official involved.
Captain Castles resignation as auditor for
the Postoffice Department was forced on
direct recommendations made in the Bona
pate-Conrad report So far the auditor mas
not seen the charges, If there are any, made
against him. The third official involved is
John NJ. Merritt. postmaster of Washington.
1t is announced that no action will be
taken in connection with the findings or
Bonaparte and Conrad until Secretary Shaw
returns to Washington. He fs represented
as standing behind Mr.. Tracewell in oppo-
sition to the alleged recommendation of
Bonaparte and Conrad that the controller
should be compelled to relinquish his office.
How much truth there is in the report that
the Cabinet is resentful that Messrs. Bona
parte and Conrad should have been called
into a matter supposed to have been settled
weeks ago, when Fourth Assistant Bristow
made an exhaustive investigation and re-
port, is another feature of the story that
cannot be verified

DRINK AND THE CLIMATE

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PRINCETON, Ind, Oct 17.--Prof Paul
L. Gilbert, of the Princeton High School
and who returned only recently from the
Philippines. where ne was a teacher. was
intimately acquainted with c. j. Johnson

ago, while in charge of government sup
plies in the island of Mindanao, stole a
large sum Of money and together with an
other constabulary officer seized a vessel
and sailed for Borneo. The crew rebelled
killed Johnson and wounded his companion
Herman, though the latter killed four of
the crew.
Johnson had been a noncommissioned Of
ficer in the Eleventh Infantry and his home
was at Woosiac, Pa. He was mere youth.
Professor Gilbert lays the young mans
downfall and ignoble end to drink, the eff
fects of the climate and the heavy respon-
sibility under which he labored. He is en-
phatic is his condemnation of the great re-
sponsibility that is being placed on boys
by the constabulary. and other departments
OF the government in the Philippines.
Concerning Johnson Professor Gilbert
said: Johnson, the pirate, is dead and
buried in the lonely Island of Negroes.
worst that can be said of Johnson is that
he liked drink too well. He was only a
boy, but l shall always remember him as a
striking figure in his red shoulder straps,
his khaki riding suit and leather leggings.
Before i had ever met him had heard the
old constabulary captain say: That Teller
looks like a born fighter. Bet he amt

Last Christmas, with the rivers swollen
to angry torrents and no bridges, and i'm
spite of warnings of the natives not to at
tempt to ford the streams, Johnson and an
army doctor rode out to Aloran barrio TO
spend week with me. The padre gave us
a Christmas dinner and Johnson partook
too freely of the communion wine Riding
back, Keeling in his saddle, he fell through
a bridge and lost his horse. To this day
the spot where he met with the mishap is
known 'Johnson's Despair
THE last saw of him was as he put out
on a stormy sea in a frail Moro sailboat
bound for Cagayan, which at that time was
infested with ladrones. He had been a SOL
der and sailor and had seen adventures
in the Canary isles, in Cuba and in the
Philippines.
johnson should not be blamed too much
for the wild escapade that ended I'm dis

edly had affected him; moreover, the con-
stahulary has no business putting heavy
responsibilities on boys"

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Oct 1.-THE visit
ing women who attended the fourth annual
convention of the State Federation of
Woman's Clubs in this city this week left
to-day for their respective homes graft
fed with the success of the convention and
pleased with the cordial hospitality of the
Logansport women. The convention last
night closed with an address by Judge d.
F. Baldwin on Tennyson's "In Memoriam,"
which the lecturer regarded as being by
far the best of the great poets writings
1T is a study of the Immortality of the
SOUL" said the speaker, land is an auto
biography of Tennysons grief, fears and
hopes concerning his dead friend, Arthur
Hallam, and extends over period of three
years. He was seventeen years in writing
it. The poem begins with funeral and
ends with a wedding. The first year is
one OF despair and denial and is the poor
est part OF the poem. At the second period
the poet turns to argument and gives us
the great standard reasons for the future
life, all magnifcently expressed. But ar
gument fails to convince, and so In the
third period Tennyson strikes the true or
IGN and reason OF our belief in Immortality
namely, our intuitions and our emotions

AT first the poet individualizes and con-
cludes that Arthur Hallam, though dead.
still lives in a higher atmosphere This
belief becomes so strong that Tennyson
holds spiritual communication with his de-
ceased friend. Then from the individual
the poet rises to the universal and arrives
at the firm conclusion that the whole hu-
man race will live in the hereafter"
The speaker closed his address with a
tribute TO the literature of the tomb as
found in all church hymn-b books and re-
marked, after reading several of them that
we need not go to Shakespeare Browning
or Tennyson for the best that has been
said on this great subject. THE New Tes-
lament and its supplemental, the hymn

sary for our instruction and enthusiasm on
this point.

Hughes was nearly a victim OF the class
kidnaper last night, an experience which
he seems TO relish very much. He was
caught as he was crossing the campus last

IL he were a freshman. He was about to be
whirled away into temporary captivity in
the belief that he was a member of the low
est class. when his would-be abductors real

LITTLE TO BE THANKFUL FOR.



the Decision Was One-Sided.
OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 1S.-The Canadian
government has not yet received official no.
tification OF the proposed decision in the
Alaska boundary case. II the decision is as
reported, namely, that Portland canal is
to remain in Canadian territory, there is a
feeling in official circles that the Dominion
has not much to be thankful for. Canada
is holding the Portland canal, retains
Wales and Pearse islands which overlook
Port Simpson, the proposed terminus of the
Grand Trunk Pacific. 1t would be incon-
venient TO have lost these islands, but as
they were clearly marked on Vancouver's
map as being I'm Canada, 1t is difficult to see
how this could have been done. AS the gov
eminent has no official information. none
of the ministers will speak upon the sub
ject for publication. North of Port Simpson,
Canada will have no harbor or no outlet on
the Pacific coast from the Yukon gold
fields.
In the House of Commons this afternoon
Mr. Gourley. member for Colchester Nova
Scotia, whose speeches In the house have
gained for him considerable notoriety, took
occasion to refer to the decision in the Alas
kan boundary case. He said: IF the news
is correct that we hear in the corridors.
ana L nope IL Is not, ali tiidt the OHhleu
States has to do Is 10 make claim for
Canada and they will get IL by boastfulness
and dishonest effort. If il is true we might
as well throw away our national aspirations.
The last two generations of Englishmen
were degenerate and towards. They have
no leaders since Pitt died. Thank God,
Chamberlain is galvanizing them and put
ting new blood in them"
