were preferred We have no official
knowledge OF the matter locally ex-
eept the Instructions received from
Washington,
News OF the order spread around
town yesterday afternoon and created
no end OF comment. The opinion was
expressed yesterday that the depart
ment intends replacing the present
crew ypf the Patrol with men from the
revenue cutter service. but whether
or not there Is any basis for this be-
lief IL a question which could not be
answered yesterday, 1t seems ln-
probable that the men aboard the pa-
troll have been accused OF incompet-
ency for the duties OF the employees
are not so technically difficult as to
require any great knowledge OF mari
time regulations. This does not inn
ply that the Patrols men are In any
way incompetent, but the statement Ia
made to show that perhaps there may
be something behind the charge other
than that which appears from the de-
partment's announcement.

"The clerk has nothing to do with

This question involves the custody

may perform the duties incident to the
redemption OF property. The incep-
ton of the clerks authority TO act as

Patrol
Out Of Service
Mysterious Charge Of Incompet.
ency to Be Investigated By
Treasury Department.

The treasury department has tenn
porarily put the customs launch Pa
troll out of commission. Just what
the order means is a mystery to those
connected with the government SER
vice at this port, and pending a more
definite announcement from Washing
ton there will be much speculation as
to what the department intends doing
with the tug.
The order came yesterday to Col
lector of Customs Robb. 1t was brief
and merely directed the collector to
suspend the crew of the Patrol pend
ing an investigation Of a charge of in
competency. The investigation Is to
be made by special agent Of the
treasury department and an officer OF
the revenue cutter service.
The Patrol had been down to the
lower harbor to board the Indravelli
and on her return to the city was
|again called down to inspect the Aus
trian ship which arrived yesterday.
After this task had been completed
Captain Smith and his men were noti-
fed Of the action Of the department,
and the Patrol was tied UP at the o.
r. & N. wharf.
The order was complete surprise
to those connected with the govern
ment service here, and If there has
been any intimation that such an or
der was contemplated the fact never
developed. When Special Deputy Col
lector Parker was asked yesterday
about the matter he said:
Il have told you all know. We re-
ceived the instructions from the de-
partment at washington to suspend
the crew of the tug, and we complied
Immediately with the order. Whether
the charge is made against any mem

Thirty Days
For Bad Bows
Youthful Offenders Are Locked
Up in the County Jail for
Drinking Liquors.

Andrew Nelson and Otto johnson
boys who have just reached their ma
jority. were locked up In the count,
jail last night, there to remain for 81
days. These boys are numbered amonl
the youthful toughs with whom IN,
peace authorities are compelled TO dea
and who were arrested by the police q
few evenings ago for drinking liquor al
a rendezvous In the western portion OF
the city. In all four boys were taken
into custody. the others being ant ther
of the Nelson tribe and lad named w.
Armbuster The latter was released on
bail
The two lads who were yesterday
locked up in the county jail were the
adults in the quartette. The boys had
been booked on charge of violating
the curfew ordinance. but the two ad-
ults could not be held on this charge
AS a result the charge against the
Johnson boy was dismissed in the po-
lice court yesterday afternoon. the eI-
der Nelson boy having previously been
taken In charge by the state authori-
ties. Judge Anderson lectured the Mel.
son boy. but he had no sooner been re-
leased from custody that the state au-
thoritles took him In hand. Both John
son and Nelson were charged with hav-
Ing furnished liquor TO minors, and.
upon pleading guilty In the Justices
court were sentenced to 30 days inn
prIsonment in the county jail. They
were locked up shortly before s last
evening.
The city authorities found II impos-
sible to properly punish the older boys.
The city ordinances provide for the
punishment OF persons who give liquor
to minors, but specify liquor dealers,
and the law will not reach those al
legged men who make practice Of taxi
ing money from boys and purchasing
LIQUOR TO be drunk by all the parties
to the transaction. There Ia no
defect in the state law. however, and
the district attorneys Office pressed the
case against the young hoodlums.
The Nelson lad has already served
term in the penltentiary. He has a
brother who is now In the state prison,
and all efforts on the part Of the au-
thorities to straighten up the lads have
proved futile The johnson lad has
also been in trouble previously, hay
ing been arrested some months ago for
beating a Chinaman. The authorities
are determined to break up these pc
riodical gangs which make themselves
conspicuous, and all offenders win be
severely dealt with.

ID all redemption certificates; but by
i statute passed by the legislature In

COURT susTAINs DEMURRER.
BRYAN Loses Out in Effort to Ring in
Sealed Letter.

New Haven, Conn.,, March 2.-Judge
Thayer, in the supreme court today,
sustained the demurrer filed by coun-
sci for Mrs. Philo S. Bennett to the
suit brought by w. ]. Bryan for con-
struction Of the will Of Bennett. In
the action brought in behalf OF Mrs.
Bryan, the effort was made to have
sealed letter left by Bennett, and
giving $4,000 to Bryan, enforced as
a trust. In sustaining the demurrer
the court decides that the question Of
the status Of the sealed letter cannot
be determined in the present action,
but must be reserved for decision in
other suits.

To those who know the history
