COMPLETE ENUMERATION
In Case of Paynlaster Disco of the
United States Navy.

Washington. March 10.-Complete eX-
oneratiOn on all teh charges presented
against him save that of neglect of du-
ty, is the verdict in the case of Paymas-
ter Harry Earl Disco of the United
States battleship Oregon. recently tried
by court martial on numerous charges.
including falsehood and shortage of
supplies to the value of $1,000. The
court sentenced him n loss of 10 num-
bers in grade, which in the case of Il
line officer would abount to $50 num-
bers. The case will be reviewed at
Washington before the sentence is eX-
ccuted. DISCO, who is widely known in
the navy. entered 4 vigorous protest
with the secretary of the navy, last
year. against the criticism by Admiral
Evans of the personnel of the court
in the case of Assistant Papmaster
Nicholson, of which Paymaster Bis
co was q member, for what the admiral
regarded as an inadequate sentence.
After long consideration the secre-
tary of the navy decided not to uphold
the protest of Paymastcr Disco, but he
refused to endorse the severe langua ge
used by Admiral Evans in his arraign-
ment of the court Considerable feel
ing resulted in the navy and because of
this. an order was sent from the navy
department to Admiral Evans, dctach-
ing Paymaster Disco from the Asiatic
station and assigning him to duty in
Washington in the bureau of supplies
and account. Admiral Evans in a brief
cablegram responded that Paymaster
Disco had been ordered before a court
martial on numerous charges. Moth
ing had been known of the charges
against the paymaster when the order
was sent and it is stated that the court
martial will not interfere with the de-
partments order assigning him to
Washington. 1t has decided that the
papers i'll the case when received here,
shall receive rigid review at the hands
of the judge advocate general and prob
ably of the secretary himself

HARTMAN RAILROAD SYSTEM.
Bankers at New York Have Taken Ur
the Bonds.

New York, March 10.-Bankers. who
have assumed the financial guardian
ship of the Hartman railroad system
have, according to the Herald. taken up
i for serious consideration the intricate
problem of unifying the founded debt
of the Southern Pacific system. 1t has
been generally known for Il long time
| that some comprehensive plan must be
prepared in order to refund bonds
Which ma ture in 1905.
The matter has been discussed infor-
mally by directors of the company and
various plans have been suggested. The
work of constructing 4 refunding mort
gage, estimated at 100000, ,0C0 and $300,-
| 0000GO has now been taken up in de-
tai! for the first time. but it Is not eX-
neCtcu that he plan will he completed
for several months. So intricate are
the finances of the Southern Pacific,
owing to the diversity of its holdings
taht it has been doubted whether any
comprehensive plan for unifying the
debts of the various companies in the
system coutld be devised without the
creation of an entirely new corporation.
Those who have undertaken the sOlu
ton of the problem believe it can be
reached, however, without altering the
character of the Southern Pacifics
holding or any of its properties or
originating any new device for welding
together the debts of the constituent
companies.
The frame upon which the great plan
will hang will be a general refundinS
mortgage. The amount will depend
wholly upon how much of the debt OF
the system, which aggregates $36S, 513-
40 can be included in any refundinS
mortsa sc, however broad its scope.
Debts of some proportions which
should be included in the refunding
scheme are held by ownership of stock.
Others ore held by loan. Some of the
operating companies are owned by 9TH
er operating companies and some are
held directly by the Southern Pacific
Co.. which is Kentucky corporation.
1t is difficult in some instance to carry
cut the plan of harmoniZing and unity
ing the system without coming into
conflict with the state laws.
1t is on account of the difficulties pre-
sented by this complicated situation
that the work has been started well in
advance of the time for its Inaugural
tino.
