ter Of the Judge Advocate Generals ONCE
this morning found on his desk a telegram
from the privat. secretary Of Secretary
Taft, stating that the date for the hear
ing OF the Merchants bridge case had
again been changed. to the 3oth instant. at
3 a. m.
The telegram gave no reasons for chang
ing the date again. and ofiicialS Of the
Judge Advocate Generals office could as
sign no reason.
The telegram was received after ONCE
